WTF Happened to MIKE MYERS?

- In our latest WTF series, we take a look at some of our favorite stars and filmmakers who have seemingly disappeared or altered their careers over the years to the point that begs the question; WTF happened? Now, before you think we're just picking on celebrities or running some gossip rag stuff, think again! We take a fun (and sometimes funny), researched and fair approach, looking at all angles that led our subject to wherever they are now (which isn't necessarily a bad place at all). If anything, it answers the question on where these fine folks went, how they got there and where you can find 'em now.
In our latest episode we take a look at the funnyman genius that is Mike Myers, who has had a long career of hilarious and memorable characters (and a few not-so-memorable ones) throughout his film and TV career thus far. Myers first rose to prominence with his various performances on SNL, even translating one of them, WAYNE'S WORLD, to the big screen with great success. He followed that up with the oft-forgotten gem SO I MARRIED AN AXE MURDERER and then a sequel to WAYNE'S WORLD, before giving us the cultural phenomenon that is AUSTIN POWERS: INTERNATIONAL MAN OF MYSTERY. Two sequels (and a few smaller films) later, Myers dabbled in Dr. Suess with THE CAT IN THE HAT, which bombed at the box office and put Myers off the live-action grid, instead continuing his voiceover work for the famous animated SHREK series. He returned four years later with THE LOVE GURU, which sadly didn't get much love in theaters. After an almost unrecognizable appearance in Quentin Tarantino's INGLORIOUS BASTERDS, Myers disappeared from live action films, only recently returning for the Oscar-winning BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY. What gives? Where's he been? Why has he denied us his comedy genius for so long and will he be back? Join us as we catch up and find out WTF happened to Mike Myers!

#MikeMyers #AustinPowers #WaynesWorld - Zábava
He’s given us enough. If he just wants to chill for the rest of his life, the only thing I have to say is “thank you”.
EricTheBody cynical pos
💯💯
Totally agree
"Yeahhh babbbby" 🤣
I agree. His family deserves his greatness more than the people who love to criticize his work, so I'm happy if he's happy!
"So I married an axe murderer" is underrated. I loved that movie.
I love it as well !
I also love it. One of my favourites and I can watch it over and over again and never get bored of it.
Same
Nancy Travis was an underrated beauty.
Same. It's a Rom-Com that's actually romantic and funny.
With many artist dying too soon or not being remembered after extremely long careers, let’s enjoy Mike’s many contributions and appreciate all the fun memories he helped create.
Part Eon, Konstantin!
Ernest Borgnine was in torpedo run 1958 with Glenn Ford Dean jones Phillip ober don keffer Robert hardy directed by Joseph pevney
OMG Mike Myers was so difficult to work with when he turned Shrek into a multi-billion dollar franchise...
And he never appeared on screen once in Shrek.
How would you know?
@@Ultamami I am making fun of the producers who fight against Mike Myers while he makes them millions of dollars.
When actors won't get in line and do what ppl say they gain the title of hard to work with. Edward Norton cares about the movies he's making and wants them to be good and he has that title also. He's turned down hundreds of roles waiting for a good script. He cares what his name is on and cares about the viewer. He's fought to change certain aspects of films and dialog because they were garbage. Caring about the end product should be everyone but it's not. That's why we have the same blockbuster actors getting recycled for every new blockbuster film. Theyre recyclable actors for recyclable films. They have no problem getting in line and putting their name and face all over remakes, beat to death franchises, and just awful movies with no care about the end product or the audience as long as they get paid. Not saying all directors or actors are doing this like Dune was awesome in my opinion. Everyone cared about that film and it shows in my opinion.
What a bastard for knowing how to entertain people
He cares about the movies he makes, he’s willing to redo the whole damn thing just so it’s memorable
yeah I think the internet is broke
They aren’t. You just have terrible taste
@@saraelise1327 the internet is broke... because idiots like this that run their mouth when you like something they don’t! ^^
@@BiLLz66614 What do you expect from someone who uses the word "broke" instead of "broken"?
Capitalism and Creative Quality Control are allergic to each other.
The irony of Myers insisting Bohemian Rhapsody being played in "Wayne's world"..... then playing the producer in "Bohemian Rhapsody" who criticized the song is a great inside joke!!! 😂
Actually, Myers got in a fight with the director cause he thought the headbanging scene wouldn't be funny...
Might actually be the real reason he got that gig to be honest.
Recently read an interview with Andrew Eldritch of The Sisters Of Mercy; apparently he claims he was offered a script wherein a scene involved the use of their semi-hit song 'This Corrosion'; he thought what he was given of the script was horrible. It turned out to be the "headbanging scene" from Wayne's World.
Never heard that before, and not entirely sure if true, but interesting nonetheless.
That isn't irony.
Ha...ha... a....meyers is now "mini who????"
Holy crap, I can't believe Wayne's World is 30 years old already. I still remember when it first came out. I was 10. And it was HUGE. Everyone, from elementary school kids to college kids, were obsessed with that film during the early-mid 90s. "Wayne" and "Garth" were household names all across the US, in practically every household. And quotes and one-liners from the film were said constantly by people of all ages. It's like you couldn't even make it through one single day without hearing at least a few of your friends or family members make some Wayne's World reference. It really was a massive hit. Just blows my mind that it was 30 years ago already. That just blows my mind.
I love the Love Guru movie. I think anyone who has spent some time dedicated to meditation, gurus and Vedic based studies including just following Deepak Chopra appreciates the reverent dethroning that mike delivered. This space of often self appointed gurus, hierarchies, secret knowledge, pseudo science, people thinking they know what happens when we die, pretending to have powers, pretending to be all knowing, needs to be smacked down every now and then. He was making fun of how the HIndu traditions were packaged a certain way and sold to westerners who added their own idiocy to it. And one of the big lessons in the move is that the guru is not perfect of infallible. Great lesson and great movie!
Yeah, probably went over people's heads
Ernest Borgnine was in the badlands 1958 with Alan Ladd
It was just released at the wrong time, when the world was listing everything you can and can't joke about
.... and yet, he had some great guru-type messages in the movie; stink-mop/ distraction, No-Where to Now-Here... Great Stuff. Mike Myers is great.
So are you saying Chopra is a fraud or a real guru? Because he's kind of new age nonsense in my opinion
Freddy Mercury saw the Wayne’s world car scene before he died and he loved it.
False.
This channel has the history wrong there. Mike actively fought AGAINST using Bohemian Rhapsody as the song they were jamming to. Penelope Spheeris wanted to use Queen and Mike said it was "old" and young people would think it was lame. At the premiere, when people cheered at the scene, then he admitted "ok, I'm glad we went with that song." He was difficult about using it, not about putting it in. He always gets way too much credit.
@@Makeshift_Mulder You actually have it mixed up. Mike Myers says the complete opposite of what you're saying here about Bohemian Rhapsody. In his interview with Stephen Colbert in 2018, and in a Rolling Stones interview in 2015 he says he fought hard to have the song Bohemian Rhapsody, the studio wanted Guns N Roses.
Penelope Spheeris (director): "I don’t personally remember a big argument about the placement of Bohemian Rhapsody, but my guess is that I was probably pushing for Guns N Roses."
@@DIYTFY he had a preview
False.
Someone has to demand quality in Hollywood, I would say he has earned the right to be difficult..
No one wants to work with shitty person. After awhile if you don’t pull the numbers people won’t put up with you. That’s what happened to Mike.
Hollywood will always do their own thing. It's bigger than you think. I completely stopped watching new movies 50% because I feel like new movies suck.. bad story.. bad quality.. and 50% because I don't like Hollywood, I don't want to support them by watching their movies. Hollywood is cancer.
Hollywood is full of egos. The studio should have just fired anyone who disagreed with him enough to fight. Every person who worked on those movies was totally replaceable except for him.
@@ishmael802 who said he was shitty? He just didn't want to compromise his movies by dumping too much Hollywood trash in them, he did it for our own benefit.
@@souljastation5463 exactly, what actor wants to be associated with a flop. In comedy thats a career killer
Difficult to work with
Means he doesn't like my ideas and I'm the one with the money
He's funny but he knew he needed to take a break. All of his characters started to blur together at the end of his run. I'm sure he will be back when the time is right.
Keenfire, 😀He will be back incognito!
Like Adam Sandler
@@fivecrosses9040 He sucks. Hate him, what characters?
AS is his same jerkoff self in a every one of him movies. F@ck him man.
@@TSwizzle777 How is it possible to feel so much anger towards a) someone you don't know and b) someone you don't know who's a goofy comedian?
Wow, yeah I’m just seeing this now. 9 mos ago I guess I was just a very irritated asshole. I certainly was due some prep-H. Much of his work IS very funny. His comedy is very much like Jim Carrey though where his characters do blend together. That can be annoying and I’m guessing that’s what “triggered” my outburst. The world is such a toxic place these days and it just is very contagious. A far cry from the light hearted days of Wayne’s World.
I thought this video was ending like 5 different times and then it kept going
The cinematography is strong with this one. It is as if the video played out just like his career. 🤔
Bruh I just realized I'm 14minutes into 26 minutes of the video. wtf did I get into hahahah
I disagree it wasn't worth beans
lol
This dude does sound like the end of every sentence is the end of the entire point/thought he was explaining lol
It's like a very specific version of what I've always called the "news reporter syndrome" that i used to fuck with teachers with in school. Anytime I'd have to read, I'd try and make the start of a sentence sound like the ending...... THEN THE COMES THE MIDDLE, WHICH.... brings me back to the end(and it only makes sense if you read all those parts like a news caster who isn't sure if the teleprompter is about to stop and end the segment or keep going)
"George Bush doesn't care about black people!"
Everytime I see that clip, I start laughing at Mike's face. How awkward! LOL 😆
funny part, after all the investigations and such, it came out that they had been warned for like 10-15 years before hand that under any severe weather or heavy enough rainfall, their levee's would fail catastrophically which is exactly what happened. it wasnt bush's fault, it was the LA govt for not repairing them.
Especially since Mike is a POS, according to all those whove work with him, doesn't even allow film Crews to look him in the eye. Him acting like he's offended is just pretend. Especially since if Kayne would of said that, in this woke era, Myers would of been clapping like a Seal..
@@SagaciousNihilist that seemed like a pretty genuine bewildered reaction.. like politics aside that is an insane thing to say on live TV haha
Lmao it cracked me up. He looked around like dude. That has nothing to do with hurricanes.
Don't forget the look on Chris Tucker's face as well. Imagine being the next on camera after that!
I recently rewatched Austin Powers trilogy and it's crazy how well they hold up, overall fantastic comedies
Axe murderer is amazing. "Head pants now!" We need more Mike in all of his roles.
lol yes so i married an axe murderer is best ... ralph lol
Ernest Borgnine was in the badlanders 1958 with Alan Ladd
I was a part time "Garth" impersonator in the early 90s and I tried out to be the extra in WW2. I didn't get the gig but they hired me to stand in for Dana when they produced the trailer at Paramount. When the prop guy brought out the guitar and amp for Mike to play I helped him (I'm a guitar player) he needed to replace the amp and he didn't know how to tune the guitar so I tuned it. So, Mike and Dana do their bit and knock the guitar out of tune and between the two of them they couldn't re tune the guitar... The prop guy pointed to me and had me come over. Dana wanted nothing to do with me (jerk) but Mike stayed in character and asked me if I could wail. I nervously said yes I can wail... so he said "Ok, so tune the guitar... and wail!" which I did till the AD came over and told me to stop. It was all surreal and I have never been on a movie set again (it's very boring).
@lurch321 sometimes reputations are just... wrong.
Did you tune it to itself or accurately tune it to E? The latter can be hard without a reference note.
Anyway I worked on the location shoot of Almost Famous (dreamworks) in san diego. Was a vehicle extra because I owned a cool custom hearse, they never used it but I moved it around alot. Except for the great food, what a shitty way to make a living. And even the guy riding a bicycle passing out bottled water, has a college degree and is waiting for any chance at a break.
Several times I was referred to as a "goya" right to my face.
@@batvette they gave me a shirt and a pendleton (over shirt) that matched danas and I couldn't find the prop guy (who was scary looked like a game show host) when we were done so I ate lunch and then forgot to find the guy again and mistakenly went home with ithe clothes. They called me and threatened to call the cops saying the clothing was worth over $1000!! (an old aerosmith shirt and a worn out pendleton?) I drove back over there and dropped them off. I won't even go into what happened the day before!! The movie biz sucks unless your a star with a trailer. I got offered an extra gig a couple months later I told them to rip up my picture and leave me alone..
@lurch321 Dana comes off as very self-congratulatory these days. Him getting annoyed with Mike impersonating Lorne Michaels for Dr Evil should've been the giveaway.
@@skydogstudio thats funny. They gave us period correct fake plastic license plates, to cover our real ones. I was told all have unique characters to prevent continuity errors. We were supposed to return them when leaving the set, accidentally drove off with mine on the last day of shooting. Still have it in a drawer somewhere.
The guy who was director of cinematography, was John Toll. He had recently won oscars back to back for legends of the fall and braveheart so he commanded a lot of respect.
What cracked me up was instead of saying "lights, camera, action" he said "may we? Lights... and... rolling"
I kept thinking of this old joke about a girl named mary asking a guy to dance, but she then refuses cuz she doesnt dance with guys who talk like Elmer Fudd.
Let the man enjoy his family and his children. I respect that a lot. There should be a lot more of that in this world. Honestly.
His innocence and humorous silly ways, were quite entertaining. I wasn't a fan, or crazy about all of Mike Myers works.
But the majority of his films, Wayne's World, voice of Shrek and Austin's Powers, dr. evil and mini me had me laughing, and waiting for more.
Mike Myer's characters, took us all away from our daily crap at work, home, school and etc... In other words in short, there was something about Mike Myer's characters for all of us to relate too.💕
I’m pretty much at a loss of words... All I can say is,thank you Mike you’ve done a great job 👌
This guy was my childhood.. I have nothing but respect for Mike Myers
If Mike Myers wasn't difficult to work with then his movies wouldn't be classics today. They wouldn't have been nearly as successful.
Ingmar Bergman was notorious in that department, yet his movies are classics.
@@johanmetreus1268 Didn't know that. Thank you.
One of your best of this series. I am very glad I watched it. I am fan of this series and will be watching more of them.
Even the name "Farquaad", when pronounced in Cockney accent sounds quite profane.
Mike was awesome
So basically the story is stand up for yourself when you know you’re right. The guy MADE these movies.
Always stand up for yourself, nobody else is going to do it.
he was to shy for being the director aswell, i think
Mariska Hargitay
He became tired of himself. It happens more often than people realize. Myers just didn't drink/drug himself to death.
Dude became a one-trick pony and apparently has never really recovered from losing his dad which...understandable but also sad for him to have retained that sorrow for so long. But unfortunately, his schtick mostly consisted of: quint to the camera (laugh). Use stupid English buck teeth...squint to the camera (laugh). Dress up as a fat person or...cat? (laugh?) Make Love Guru! (utter shit...bye, Mike).
@@sibsbubbles Did you ever watch any of his other work?
most of his comedy is stuff that he ripped off from anything else he watched
@@sibsbubbles His dad died before he made his first movie.
He HIM(ed) him self.
Well written and narrated! Great job. This was all nostalgia for me, thank you
Dr. Evil is based on Donald Pleasance in the Bond film You Only Live Twice, Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
"So I married an axe murderer" is an absolute gem! Love that flick!
I'm sorry, but I believe I ordered the large cappuccino...
Or
She stole my heart, and my cat!
“Now this is something the other tour guides won’t tell you...”
@@habaneropepper4156 Well, it's a well known fact, Sonny Jim, that there's a secret society of the five wealthiest people in the world, known as the Pentavirate, who run everything in the world, including the newspapers, and meet tri-annually at a secret country mansion in Colorado, known as "The Meadows"
I have to agree. It has great timing and production value. There are so many good performances sewn together it almost hurts them.
Ernest Borgnine was in the Vikings 1958 with orson Welles Tony Curtis Kirk Douglas directed Richard flesicher
'So I Married an Axe Murderer' is so great. Watch it, if you haven't.
It's still so underrated. Also, Phil Hartman and Luenell.
Agreed! I think it is his most underrated work. Sure its a "Romcom" but it is a variation on an old theme and it works.
Phil Hartman, great cameo
"We got a piper down, I repeat a piper is down"
Used to watch that movie on VHS every week at my dads house. Best movie ever
I can’t believe the algorithm hasn’t shown hasn’t shown me your channel before! I’m actually doing a deep dive on him now & I’m also a historical researcher & can tell that you did a fabulous job doing your research & putting it all together as a narrative. Impressed & subscribed. YAY! Thank you so much!
This gives me hope the crazy stories I tell my daughter with funny voices will have a positive impact on her sense of humor
I'm Scottish and and his Scottish accent is almost spot on.
His folks were Scottish wern't they? I'll read later
naw it isnae.
@@tussk. aye it is. 😊
If it's not Scottish, IT'S CDDRAP!!!!!
@Mark Morrissey okay if his Scottish accent was shit he wouldn’t be casted as the legendary character shark. Millions of people disagree with you, bud. Maybe even billions.
I would watch Mike Meyers in whatever, bring it on Netflix
His movies are on HBO Max.
"It was probably smart for the studio to go with an actor who was still alive" is a great and very reasonable line.
Loved all his work. Perfect timing and wit.
Trivia: Mike Myers wasn't going to play Dr. Evil in the Austin Powers movies and Mike Myers wanted Jim Carrey to play Dr. Evil. But, Jim Carrey could not take the role because he signed on to do Liar, Liar and Mike Myers decided to play Dr. Evil himself.
That's wild. Liar liar sucked. He missed the chance to be a memorable character in a trilogy of movies.
@@lazydaze3134 You didn't like "Liar Liar"? I love that film! That and "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" are my favorite Jim Carrey films. I could definitely see him as Dr. Evil, but nobody could play him like Mike Myers did.
@Brian Coley YES, those out takes actually lifted the film to another level!!
@@lazydaze3134 This is the first I've ever heard of someone not liking Liar Liar.
It would have been awesome seeing Jim Carrey's Dr Eggman impression on Austin Powers
He is a clever guy. Like everyone, he can’t be expected to get it right all the time or go on for ever.
nicedog1 - Yes, I recall a time when Eddie Murphy made my sides split with laughter. He was ahead of his time, he embraced the trans community way ahead of the the curve, by literally embracing them.
The only sensible comment in the comments section and video....therefore you will receive only a handful of likes. Take your gold star, sir.
Warren Messer Thanks 😀
Mark Grant what?
@@watercolourmark Lmao😆
THANK YOU for making this amazing clip about Mike Myers 🙂
Thanks for posting!
He's worth $175 million. He doesn't need to come back.
Money runs out
Ikr
YoungBlaze his money is not running out anytime soon unless he’s a complete idiot and I don’t think he is. His kids, kids will have money.
Which is why he isn’t making anything anymore... oh wait for those that actually watched this video, he’s currently coming out with something new and has been over the years...
@@MrJtm2011able, unlikely. Family wealth for the most part is completely gone by the second generation. Myers offspring will more than likely spend the money. People who inherit large sums of wealth tend to spend it. You can see this with people who win the lottery. It's a lot easier to spend money that you did not earn. It's very rare for a family's wealth to last multiple generations.
So WTF happened to Mike Myers? This entire video was simply a bio on the life and times of Mike.
For those who care, he's apparently doing well and living his life the way he wants to. Good for him!
Not the sharpest tool in the shed are you? I'll explain it to you like you're a democrat... er a child. Mike made his humor by making fun of people, behaviors, and things. The sissy generation has ruined everything by deeming anything they don't understand as offensive, racist, or whatever epithets they can think of. Personally I think they should be taken out of the wood shed until they realize their feelings and opinions end at the tip of their nose.
@@SmoothOperator2013 Wow Paplo, WTF is it with your man-crush on Myers? Did you read my comment Paplo? Obviously not as that would require you to actually do something. Okay, here's your big chance Paplo to stop being an ass and try to be the man your kids hope you will turnout to be some day. Stop posting on CZcams and go about your business -- err sitting in your room playing with Mike Myers dolls. Pfffff.......
@@SmoothOperator2013 Myers humour was trash it was 90s horse shit
24:55
Because current comedy is so fabulous ! NOT !
Excellent video. Thank you
Excellent writing and narration, loved the concluding segment 👏🏻
Not gonna lie....I loved and still love Cat in the Hat..
it was corny in the best ways lol
I know!!
I came looking for this comment just when he said "horrible movie". I love cat in the hat. And lubezki's cinematography is amazing.
FUN FUN FUN
Those are children they angels 👼
He's basically retired. extremely comfortably.
or so we think
@@TheRealSamPreece Nope.... He said yes to movies mainly because he was running out.
@@ibelieveinsomething3895 Im inferring that he isn't comfortable. I don't think any human being could honestly feel comfortable after working in Hollyweird.
He's still living on the interest from his Shrek money.
"The Cat In The Hat"---+ was Great!
Nice tribute! Thank you JoBlo Videos - and thank you for the humor, Mike Myers! Enjoy your life.
Wow, his "Gong Show" prosthetics looked hauntingly too much like Robin Williams...
Yes I really thought it was him at first, then I kept trying to see Mike in all that makeup and I just couldn't. Maybe with sound, ill have to look that up.
Yeah I saw a mix of Robin Williams and Alec Baldwin lol
@@drewbiggiesmalls8041 Ha yes I saw a little Alec Baldwin too!
@@Wolfsheim23 I also see a bit of Jay Leno
That’s not a Trivia, it’s a Fact
54 was so underappreciated and underrated by the masses. I was stunned when I watched it not because I didn’t think Mike could do it but that he carried it with a dramatic performance.
Never heard of this either for some reason
When I hear Hollywood say that someone is ‘difficult’...that typically means ‘they’re not one of us/act and think like us’.
God forbid if someone thinks differently, has contrasting political opinions and cares more about life than money, power and fame.
🍻
your videos have the funniest puns related to each actor. I laugh everytime I catch the "fun".
The first time I tripped on acid, I watched Austin Powers! I laughed for an hour after seeing Mr. Bigglesworth with no hair!
What kind of acid, is window pane still around 😵
i always wanted to try acid, ive done shrooms but obviously i hear acid is way more intense lol
@@majik1468 in small doses are fine. Be smart about it and you’ll be fine
would love to see a movie about Benny Hill starring Mike Myers
Absolutely
Mind blown
@Susie Garfield. Please send him that idea!!
Susie Fairfield
I love Benny Hill...!
I used to watch him with my Grandpa.
@@troystutsman1400 introduced to him by my Grandpa Benny Hill is one of my biggest comedic inspirations. I think a bio pic with Mike would be great
The Pentavrent is amazing, I love every episode of it
I never saw The Love Guru. After your review I am comfortable thinking that I never shall. Thanks!
Had a VHS copy of "So I Married an Axe Murderer" ,watched it a 100 times at least with awe.
In these trying times, we need a new Austin Powers movie.
But the guy who mini-me died so would not be as funny!
MAD GRUMPYMAN I bet Myers could do that in a new AP movie.
Do you remember when Eddie Murphy and Steve Martin made that film, and no one told them they weren’t funny anymore? You are basically asking to be poked in the eye. Better than have him set up to fail on a big fake comedy, have him focus his serious acting chops on the real Austin Powers. Mike would be perfect to play Harvey Weinstein. And years ago this would have involved makeup and piling on the pounds, today he could role out of bed and do it - better, he could do it in his sleep.
Last I heard it sounded like the new Austin Powers would center more on the Seth Green character. so there's that.
He should make it a Birddemic parody
Austin Powers Shagdemic
Great documentary! 👍
The commentary had me crying in pain from laughing so hard! The shrek stuff omg! 😂
2:35 'Wayne's World was hilarious, but 'The Blues Brothers' was a classic!
"Mike is difficult on set, and hard to work with. Why can't he just sit back and let us make our fair to middling b list movies like we want to?" - Hollywood, probably.
Know who else was "difficult to work with"? Robin Williams.
See also : Jim Carrey
I hope Mike can just stay Mike and do his thing.
davenhla
What I find interesting is that he may have been
difficult to work with but I never heard any of them
complain while he was making them Millions...!
Most good actors are difficult to work with because
they develop a vision and feel for what their character
is like, how they act and respond to things, along with
how the story plot should progress...!
If the writers, directors, and executives attempt to change
those visions in any way, then of course the actors are
going to get pissed and be difficult...!
People need to remember that it’s their ass up there on the
big screen...!
If an actor’s performance comes across as lacking or down
right bad, then they pay the price for it and it can effect their
future acting careers...!
What’s even worse is when an actor gives their all and puts out
an amazing performance but the movie is looked upon as being
bad because of poor directing or a poorly written story line as
these things can effect an actor’s future too...!
The anti-Sandlers
darn those uppity Canadians lol
@Pegasus he can when he was the original creator of the characters, lol
@@nobrainsnoheadache2434 😂
Yep... "We're not worthy." :) I was thinking that through the last 5 minutes of the video about a summary on his comeback, you placed that line perfectly. :)
You earned a sub, love your stuff.
13:57 The look on Chris Tucker's face is gold
and you know thissss, man.
6:46 You're talking about how we didn't understand all the jokes as kids when I just now realise why Austin Powers was drinking all those cans of Tab when he was feeling homesick: Coca-Cola recently announced they're ending production of Tab, a very old drink and now-unpopular beverage. So I'm still noticing details in these movies!
Don't worry, an old can of Tab will still taste like shit for years to come.
Well done, thank you.
I’m going to make a bold prediction: I can see Mike Myers winning an Oscar as an older actor. He’s very underrated as a dramatic actor and I can see him having a late career renaissance. I think his comedy days are done, sadly, but I don’t think we can write him off just yet.
It's sad to see that The Love Guru killed his career. I wish he'd a come back.
I'd be interested to hear what people actually hate more... Mike Myer's Love Guru or Dana Carvey's Master of Disguise. Those two basically were busy with a suck-off with two of the possibly worst movies ever.
@@Ugly_German_Truths I agree
Same Love Mike Myers.
He seems to remain steady with voice acting. And then there was his bit part as the British general in Inglorious Basterds.
Ugly German Truths Love Guru at least had a few funny moments.
The only redeeming thing about Master of Disguise are Data’s fart jokes, and that’s barely funny.
I don't think he needs a "comeback" - he's not forgotten and despite any amount of bad reputation in Hollywood the population hasn't turned on him. If he chooses a role and does a great job (he's certainly capable of that, it's just a matter of choosing good material) and it's popular he could be an overnight sensation... again.
Incidentally I'm gay, and I never felt any of his stuff was homophobic, and I don't think any of my gay friends did either. I suspect he's one of the few people who can tell gay jokes and be laughing with us instead of at us. (Adam Sandler, despite anything else you may want to say about him, is also one of the few who could and did do that, and they did work together.)
Great comments!
Thanks for sharing! Mike Myers seems like a great guy and he is a great comedian. I think Robert Downey, Jr. proved once and for all that comebacks are possible. In a big way. But I think there is at least one requirement: humility. Mel Gibson never truly got why his expulsion from entertainment didn't just go away. I think because it's clear he never really felt he was wrong. RDJ only needed a few years off to realize he'd screwed up, royally, and that forgiveness demanded atonement. He did it. So did John Travolta, though his wore off pretty quick.
Great use of the word incidentally thank you
Great video dude
I absolutely crack up laughing when watching Love Guru.
It’s one of those movies that is so bad - it’s good
I honestly LOVE the Love Guru. I laugh so hard everything time I see it. Maybe I’m dumb.
No it's good. Not my favorite movie in the world but i recommend it to everyone who hasn't seen it before
Mike Myers in Bohemian Rhapsody looked like Jeff Lynne from ELO.
Whoa, that's a deep cut! nice!
The only thing wrong with this video is people saying the cat in the hat movie was bad.
The Grinch and The Cat in the Hat live actions have gotta be horror films. Everything about them is disturbing. I imagine they are the creations of bad acid trips.
@@gypsywoman9140 I loved cat in the hat but yes there was definitely something odd about it, I'd agree with disturbing tbh
The cat in the hat movie was awesome. In no way was that a children's movie. It's one of those movies where your kid ask you what's a dirty hoe and you uncomfortably have to say a gardening tool.
AGREED
Gypsy Woman lmao
Mate, you nailed it! A very balanced 'report'. I wish Mike nothing but the best, if he wants to live at home and live in relative comfort the rest of his days, good luck to him. I'm glad he was 'difficult' on set, he got things done the way he wanted them, shrek needed Scottish Mike Myers.
This is a total tangent, but I was told that when it came time to release 'Terminator' in dubbed versions for many and diverse European/Asian languages, it was dubbed in Germany and Austria, not with Arnold's voice (because locally, he sounded like a yokel and not at all cool?)
Your glasses, hand them to me my lovely, ooh arr, I will return at some time or leave them at your mother's house, taa!
Keep enjoying what you are doing, I haven;t subbed yet but I am highly impressed. That is not a test, rather the entire subject is removed from my centre of interest and quite frankly (when I lost my original account) I'm kinda enjoying finding new stuff? I'll def check you again.
Respect and Pax.
When I watched ‘inglorious bastards’ and the mike scene came along I started cracking up just from seeing him, I couldn’t take it seriously haha
So basically Edward Norton & Mike Myers are cut from the same cloth with regards to attitude via quality film making / script writing.
Excellent WTF installment. You did a good job at being honest and yet polite and respectful.
You must be Canadian, eh? If he never does anything again and just wants to kick back and enjoy his life, new wife and his kids then good for him. I hope he has a great life because he made us laugh so hard our Molson's came out our noses! Party on Mike!
The love guru was hilarious. And I loved cat in the hat.
Mr JoBlo, thank you for your research and giving us another look at these movies..
NO QUESTION Wayne's World is the second best SNL film ever made after The Blues Brothers!!!
Blues Brothers still number 1
That's what SHE said.
Animal house
@@rosssmith8481 that's a national lampoon movie
@John Power a person with an opinion. They're not outlawed yet.
Most of Mike Meyers movies are instant classics, that will never get old! Lol!
Before watching THIS video, I rewatched Wayne's World. Classic. Thank you Mike Myers you legend.
I love Waynes World 1 & 2 and Austin Powers 1 & 2, thankfully I've never seen Love Guru and never will. Having seen the clips you included it definitely looks like Tom Green may have been involved. lol
Love him man, I grew up on all of his movies. Watched them on VHS tape back then. Thanks for the vid man
"Mystery Alaska" was/is a very underrated movie. Russell Crowe is really good, and the small role Mike plays is hilarious.
Burt Reynolds was also great in it. But he was great in everything
Well made. Cheers.
My mind can't even handle the thought of a DND game with Mike as a player or DM.
I wouldn't doubt if Mike is actually not difficult to work with. And him saying "I'm here to work, not make friends." was a light shined on the behavior and ways of being of those like who he worked with. It sounds like he's there to make masterpieces, or at least try, and most others are there to be famous in a movie...
I absolutely love every Austin Powers movie there. They’re hilarious.
*AWFUL
Ernest Borgnine was in Red 2010 with Bruce Willis
@@titusmccarthy OK KAREN !!! LMAO !!!
@@flatearth9140 POOP IS FUNNY LULLLLLLLLLZ
@@titusmccarthyYOU ARE STILL MISSING THE POINT !! IT'S HOW YOU MAKE IT FUNNY !!!
Mike Myers was sooo funny. So many laughs. Thankyou
That was epic!
Mike is an inspiration to all people on Earth, I love his comedy acting style. Thanks for the videos great content.
Waynes World 3 would be so funny now. Imagine a couple middle aged 80s rockers who dont understand the modern culture and they need to make podcasts or something because cable tv views are going down. The could go on like the Joe Rogan podcast to try to promote themselves and at the end they get to see Alice Cooper again or something idk lol
Otie Floro not enough 40 year olds would go to see that movie in the theater
unfortunately he and dana carvey dont have a relationship anymore.
If they made jay and silent bob I believe they can make Wayne's world 3
Eric Escobar they can. But it would be dumb. Jay and Silent Bob was a bomb and Wayne’s World 3 would be far more expensive and make as little as that one did. But if they want a box office bomb for some reason they have the freedom to.
@@Kaspen82 direct to bluray?
Great job
Great vid. Love mike
nothing happened to him. he decided to life a private peaceful life. his films are awesome no matter how bad they are. love mike, love austin powers, love waynes world, and love shrek. thank you for creating my childhood mike.
Ernest Borgnine was in judal 1956 with rod Steiger Charles Dennis buchinsky Glenn Ford
Is it weird that I watched both Wayne's World movies yesterday and googled "what happened to Mike Myers?"
Talk about timing haha.
He has a $150 million and is embarrassing himself less then Adam Sandler/David Spade?
I was just talking about how funny Wayne's World was and my gf tried to debate me but all I said was "shwiiing!!!"
Yeah, if it wasnt complete bullshit, LIAR!
matt s nothing to do with timing and all to do with algorithms.
Google owns Youboob
As a teen in the 90's Mike Meyers was the epitome of comedy for me
My favorite creative choice by Mike Myers HAS to be that 1) he chose and insisted on Bohemian Rhapsody in Wayne’s World even when producers didn’t want it THEN. In the Queen biopic 20 years later he plays the music executive (heavily disguised costume) who refuses to sign Queen bc Bohemian Rhapsody “is never going to be a song kids can crank up the volume and bang their heads to” 🥹🥹🥹 being the biggest fan of Wayne’s World as a small child I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face when I saw that scene in theaters…. You HAVE to love Queen and you HAVE to love Wayne’s World for that reference to even cross your radar. *chefs kiss*
