Yes this was some funny shit. Normally the ghostbusters woulda gotten shanked or made into their bitches but since the story was so convincing, they joined in.
I always thought it was funny that the other prisoners seemed to take what the Ghostbusters were saying a lot more seriously than the city officials initially did.

yeah and pirates were famously superstitious, which is why most pirate stories end up doubling as ghost stories. for whatever reason, spooky stuff really appeals to the scumbag psyche.
And in the new film that's what this connected to he knew his men would fail so it gave him time for re power egon must hsve planted this for some time even during gb2 he's been studying Shandor's hideouts for years.
Hey, Carl Winslow was a cop in New York City and let the Ghostbusters out of jail in 1984 before he moved to Los Angeles and helped John McClane as a cop with a hostage situation in 1988, and then moved to Chicago with his family next door to Steve Erkel and continued his police career. What a well travelled dedicated public servant!
Nice comedic moment for Ramis when he says " ...that society was too sick to survive." and then deftly makes a silent scan around the cell. See movie writers, you can be funny with no words at all.
This sort of deadpan delivery probably tests poorly with today's typical cinema going autists who are too worried about the: "disparaging social commentary being made against non-privileged bipoc and otherwise oppressed and caracitured representations of economically exploited and indentured transients" Or something like that.
That's everybodys favourite part that's why this scene is funny all the tough nuts and psychos crowding around to get a piece of the action on something beyond them all lol
Fakkerbelch Egon: After the First World War, Shandor decided that society was too sick to survive. When something deep like that comes from a story from the past, that would definitely get your attention.
It's like the cast has said in many interviews, Akroyd's original script was much darker in tone but Reitman brought Harold Ramis in to shorten it up and give it some light-heartedness. I've always seen it as a scary movie with just enough comedy added in order to make it less scary.
He must have knew how bad things would get if we don't stop what we're doing to ourselves. Like how T-800 saw us in T2 sky net must have saw us as a sick crazy race my point of view.
Exactly. That's the crux of any film, TV show, or novel. Nothing else is more important. That's why the Eight Deadly Words exist, and they spell doom for a production: "I don't care what happens to these people."
The filming of the jail scene was actually a prison reported to be haunted, and the dailies had many scratches all over with no apparent physical cause. Ivan Reitman (Director) was concerned about returning there, but the crew was very relieved to find enough footage to complete the scene without returning.

Lucky for me that I was dedicated by my parents to Jesus at an early age. The mention of the blood of Jesus sends them away.

They were also alive to write the account of not killing themselves and now are free from that horrible bondage.

Shandor decided that society was too sick to survive…looks around… I believe this is the very line creating the premise for this scene that Harold Ramis used as the literary basis for creating the situation of the Ghostbusters being in jail in the first place. Genius at work!
There was a Prussian (cant remember who, Von Lauenberg or something) who fled to England during the Franco-Prussian war, then on to America. It's believed he was descended from one of the Teutonic Knights who had broken from the order around the start of the 17th century who had decided the wars for land had gone against the teachings of Catholicism. By the time it got to the descendant with war having struck every corner of the globe even before WW1 he had decided humanity did not deserve to see the 20th century and built a following to see the end of the world but (apparently) at the age of 104 some 7 years before the start of the 20th Century he disappeared and his 'following' disbanded. There are obscure references to him in a few books from the turn of the century, I found some articles when I was doing research on less famous disappearances of the late 19th/early 20th century. Maybe be got the idea from this?
Guards let them take those blueprints into the prison with them? Also, yea, the prisoners becoming increasingly enthralled in Egon's story is easily the best part of this scene.
JamesOhGoodie Well, the city was under attack by ghouls, ghosts, and zombies at the time. I think the police had more important things to worry about than a few eccentric scientists and their pieces of paper.
I'm no expert, but it's just a holding cell, right? We have something similar here, like if you're out drinking and end up in a fight, they might just leave you in a cell in the station for a night to sleep it off.
The way I see it, Ivo Shandor is the primary antagonist of the whole Ghostbusters franchise. After all the 2009 video game acted as the conclusion of the original films revealing some secrets everyone was wondering.
I LOVE the mad genius of Ackroyd and him mixing in all his and his family's long history with the paranormal and alien phenomenon. And then in the AMAZING Afterlife we get to see Shandor and go to the mines where he extracted the selenium...such a good call back. I love the idea that the gate on top of Dana's building has a particle flow through it and as long as its open there will be ceaseless versions of Gozer coming into the world to destroy it. Damn I LOVE this film. And yeah I teared up when Egon was brought back in Afterlife. Such a beautiful and touching tribute to the man. Shout out to all you awesome GB fans old and new. Much ♥ ✌️ ☀ from 🇮🇪 you guys and gals are the best.
I did like Ghostbusters Afterlife and it made sense why Egon did what he did... and left Ghostbusters and Gozer comes back in Ghostbusters Afterlife and it was a nice tribute to Harold Ramis and he will be missed Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters 2 were the best I really believed it was real and I would watch Ghostbusters on VHS and it was all the time.
When I first saw ghostbusters I thought Winston was the odd man out. 3 comedic geniuses stealing scene after scene. I thought why in the hell is this guy even in the movie. Upon more viewings I realize just how essential he is. He’s the straight man of the group & he’s the audience. He definitely adds to the value of the film with his presence.
Suxh an amazing scene. I'm amazed now that it's only a 2 1/2 minute scene and there's so much info in it that helps and pushes the story. Yet, I never feels forced or spoon-fed! Just amazing writing, dorecting and acting!
The prison had to be one of favourite scenes cause of how Egon tells the story of Ivo Shandor which I say is the biggest mastermind in all the ghostbusters universe, I’d say he’s smarter then gozer
I knew it was over when Jackie Chan Karate Kid came out .. I really like Jackie Chan but talk about rip the soul out of a movie .. I still tear up when Daniel gets inside the car Mr Miyagi knows he was going to choose and finds the dogtags on the keys in the ignition .. Take me back ✌️
"Ray, for a moment, pretend that I don't know anything about metallurgy, engineering, or physics. And just tell me what the hell is going on?" "You never studied." 😆😆😆😆
Captain Barbossa I love it when Ray bops Peter on the head but also where they first interview Dana and Egon accidently flashes him in the eyes with that light, but his reaction there was hilarious!
Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis really did a fantastic job building the lore in the Ghostbusters universe. It's fascinating hearing them talk about all the details of the building, how it was constructed so strangely and why, the details they came up with are rich and believable; they're very talented. Writers today churn out such shallow, vapid, click-baity crap; they could really take a lesson out of the Ghostbusters playbook when it comes to establishing characters and lore.
GB has a perfect plot with the perfect amount of exposition ofcourse when I was a kid I had no fuckin idea about this shit had to see alot of terrible immitations to realize it
This is my all time favorite part of this movie. I cry laughing every single solitary time he breaks out in that song and scare the shyt out of that dude!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
+Cinefreek Productions i've just noticed how do they have blue prints they were arrested outside their H.Q and would they be allowed them anyway. .ps awesome movie
My sister and I were discussing this over the weekend. It's human nature to get caught up in this sort of discussion. It's human nature to address any and all threats. That what we appreciate about this ... and I agree XD... it's classic comedy!
Eser Alt the intro to the alternate universe movie gave me the same feeling. Then people started talking and the entire mood was lost to terrible writing and deliberately forced cringe.
"Hold it! Are we actually going to go before a federal judge and say that some moldy Babylonian god is going to drop in on Central Park West and start tearing up the city?!" Winston Zeddemore: mild-mannered alter-ego of superhero Captain Reality Check. :D
After seeing the stuff from Afterlife, I feel this might be the most important scene in the entire franchise. The story really seems to imply that Shandor had a Plan B.
Bingo. Phoebe Spengler said the New York high rise was built from material found in the mines in the city Ivo founded. If New York washed out, then Ivo had Summerville as backup. Also begs the question what would have happened if Gozer won the battle of 84, poor Ivo was still dead in Oklahoma and would have missed it lol
@@Madbandit77 Ivo shouldn't have been screwing around with an Interdimensional God. Gozer clearly doesn't value any other forms of life. No matter how helpful.
@@KHayes666 Another thing..... anyone else think Afterlife retconned the Video game? If the Busters had already fought Shandor in the 90's, how do we explain his preserved corpse in Summerville?
look at afterlife, THIS SCENE sets it up PERFECTLY, i think Egon dug deeper than this scene indicated, THATS WHY he moved to that dirt farm to set up shop......., WHY THEN didnt he just tell the otheres sooner????
The PG rating back then was not a family rating. This movie would have been (or maybe not?) PG-13 if it was released a little later than it did. But then again PG movies still had F-bombs ocassionally and language, as shown by the green band PG trailer of "Code of Silence" (rated R) which had the F-bomb from a scene unedited. And that movie was in 1985, when the PG-13 rating was around. The PG rating didn't become a family rating until 1995. PG movies had many things that would be PG-13. But some movies pushed the boundaries and were almost R-rated. "Escape from Alcatraz" has a scene where fingers are cut off. That should have been R. But it was PG.
Think about it: Egon is also a doctor. He also attempted to perform unnecessary surgery. With a little nudge, Egon could have gone in very much the wrong direction...
In 4 years, the prison/jail guard moves to LA, becomes a beat cop, and helps John McClane defeat a small army of terrorists! Then, one year later his family matters are documented and sold as entertainment. Quite the ride, my friend. Quite the ride!
Love the expression on Harold Ramis's face around the 1:20 mark. His face is like "Here's a juicy story for you" when he begins talking about Ivo Shandor's medical career
Anyone realize the cop that let the Ghostbusters out is the same cop that helped out John McClane in the first Die Hard? He’s still help out the good guys!
If it's in a prison in New York City, or a diner in an old mining town in Oklahoma .. .. when four people are talking about the end of the world, YOU PAY ATTENTION!
I’m liking where this new movie is going already with the ties back to this scene. Doctor/ architect with a crazy cult following to help build a superconductor to end the world... mine still active and channeling ancient evil... nicely done
I don't think it was something that would have pissed off the other prisoners. I think it just made them curious, and Egon just milked the momentary popularity like, 'Yes, people are listening to ME.' I could be wrong, but that's what I think.
***** You may be right. I was angling for the prisoners being an example of the "sickness of society". So I was guessing the prisoners were like, "Hey, I think he's talking specifically about *us*!"
I am SO SLOW. I just realized that the cop who comes to get them out of jail and take them to see the mayor is played by the same actor who plays Sgt. Al Powell in "Die Hard," and at least one of the sequels.
In hindsight, this is the moment that festered in Egon’s brain that caused him to rush to Summerville. Egon knew Ivo Shandor well enough to know a secret back up plot.
"Whoooaaa-Ohh, somebody's comin'!" I love the original Ghostbusters so much. I came here for Carl from Family Matters. He's always playing a cop. He was considered for the role of Winston.
I saw Afterlife yesterday, and the scene in the dinner and the other kids where watching the main four. I couldn't help but smile when it immediately made me think of this scene.
Ghostbusters Afterlife was a worthless piece of refuse. It will be forgotten along with Ghostbusters 2016. Ghostbusters 1984 and Ghostbusters II were genius movies.
I did a typographical error in my previous post. I put Ghostbusters 1986 when I meant Ghostbusters 2016. The reason Ghostbusters Afterlife was awful was the awful plot and terrible acting. I was literally bored after 67% of the movie was over because I could see the predictable, redundant end of the film coming and most of the movie was not funny. Both good previous Ghostbusters movies had very good comedy in them. The kids also see terrifying supernatural occurances such as their Mom being possessed and none of the kids show any fear at all. There are many other examples of an awful plotline and they could not even come up with another villain but instead do a cheap bring back of Goser The Gosarian. Then they expect me to cry because they bring back Egon in spirit form. This was a movie I wish I had missed.
@@liberty4392 I can agree with you on the 2016 one for sure with you, but the reason why I like afterlife is because it's entertaining to some of us and that it was a tribute to the actor who played Egon Spengler. But I do see the reason why you think Afterlife isn't as good.
I just think it’s funny that even in 1920, Shandor and his buddies wanted to end the world because they thought society was too sick to survive… they hadn’t seen nothing yet 😂😂😂
It was because of the First World War that Shandor concluded humanity was beyond saving. World War I ended in 1918, and Shandor founded the Gozer cult in 1920.
I like how all the prisoners stop chilling and start listening to the story
best story of I'm innocent they've ever heard
Yes this was some funny shit. Normally the ghostbusters woulda gotten shanked or made into their bitches but since the story was so convincing, they joined in.
@@bfettrulez6734 Maybe because they knew them and they knew the shit that was going on in New York (like seeing ghosts and shit)
Like the disciples to jesus. It's such a subtle hilarious joke.
They were all like “man, I wanna hear this, this is some interesting and deep s&@t!”
I always thought it was funny that the other prisoners seemed to take what the Ghostbusters were saying a lot more seriously than the city officials initially did.
Because if the world is ending, obviously their petty crimes seem much more insignificant.
They probably thought: Hey... If the world is ending, I can leave...

Captain Barbossa I love it when Ray bops Peter on the head but also where they first interview Dana and Egon accidently flashes him in the eyes with that light, but his reaction there was hilarious!
The climax of the movie is approaching rapidly and we're still getting characterization. That just another reason why Ghostbusters is a great movie.
He was speaking for the audience.
Captain Barbossa The best!
Prisoners' thoughts: _(Damn. We've heard some crazy shit but this takes the cake! Prison sounds safer...)_
"So BE GOOD, for goodness saaake, whah, oh, somebody's comin', somebody's comin'".
Santa Claus is coming to town
She barks. She drools. She claws!
Typical New York date for the 1980s.
“She sleeps, above her covers…four FEET above her covers!” Lmao!!
Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis really did a fantastic job building the lore in the Ghostbusters universe. It's fascinating hearing them talk about all the details of the building, how it was constructed so strangely and why, the details they came up with are rich and believable; they're very talented. Writers today churn out such shallow, vapid, click-baity crap; they could really take a lesson out of the Ghostbusters playbook when it comes to establishing characters and lore.
GB has a perfect plot with the perfect amount of exposition ofcourse when I was a kid I had no fuckin idea about this shit had to see alot of terrible immitations to realize it
And to think Shandor returns in the Ghostbusters game as a big bad, even with nods to Gozer as well. Now THAT'S continuity!
Not just nods to Gozer. The Stay Puft destructor form IS Gozer. Granted, severely depowered in the game, but still... Gozer.
@@rcslyman8929 True, true.
The funniest part for me:
"So be good for goodness sake! WOAH-OH! Somebody's coming! Someody's coming. . . !"
i like that part too
😂
"Society was too sick to survive..." *Egon looks around almost in agreement*
Peter is speaking for the audience when he says pretend I don't know anything about metallurgy or physics.
It warms my heart that Metallurgy was mentioned in this movie :)
An exposition scene done well.
This is my all time favorite part of this movie. I cry laughing every single solitary time he breaks out in that song and scare the shyt out of that dude!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is one of my favourite scenes of all time in the ghostbusters film.
I love how some of the other prisoners are following this. XD
me to :)
+Igarappappa So do I.
+Igarappappa That's what you call great blocking by the director.
+Cinefreek Productions i've just noticed how do they have blue prints they were arrested outside their H.Q and would they be allowed them anyway. .ps awesome movie
My sister and I were discussing this over the weekend. It's human nature to get caught up in this sort of discussion. It's human nature to address any and all threats. That what we appreciate about this ... and I agree XD... it's classic comedy!
egon was the ultimate nerd so much knowledge
Watched this part and the rest of the movie with my Dad on AMC last night. Such a classic, groundbreaking movie.
2:23 - "Okay, Ghostbusters! Steve Urkel wants to see you guys."
2:23 - Look, it's Carl Winslow!!!
Yup.
It's actually Al Powell. When he got transferred to the LAPD, he helped save John McClain.
Yes William Atherton and Reginald VelJohnson
rhino3784 then went undercover to kill Steve Urkel
Horry sheet
what a combination and chemistry these guys had
"Sumerian, not Babylonian."
"Yeah, big difference." Lol 🤣🤣🤣
No offense, but I gotta get my own lawyer!!
The most quotable film from the 80s. "So be good, for goodness sake, somebody's coming....".
This is how you do exposition, just like the beginning of Raiders of the Lost Ark. One room, expertly written.
My favorite part is when Venkman goes. " somebody is coming"!!!!
One of the greatest movies.
When i was watching this as a child scenes like this made me more scary... Ghostbusters was also a very good horror-movie.
Eser Alt the intro to the alternate universe movie gave me the same feeling.
Then people started talking and the entire mood was lost to terrible writing and deliberately forced cringe.
So many quotable lines in such a short clip! 👍👍👍
Ivo would get a much bigger role in the game. Love that Harold and Dan brought him back into the Ghostbuster universe.
@RoboPotato that was just a back story I don't thihk he's defeated in the unit I think his men are there.
"No offense, but I gotta get my own lawyer."
🤣 he got some of the best lines
"I gave seen shit that'll turn you white"
Next time I'm in jail, I'm re-enacting this scene.
Jesus, Carl Winslow was everywhere in the 80's
He was very popular back then lol
Man has seen some shit in his day. No wonder later on the only thing that ever got under his skin was Urkel.
"Hold it! Are we actually going to go before a federal judge and say that some moldy Babylonian god is going to drop in on Central Park West and start tearing up the city?!" Winston Zeddemore: mild-mannered alter-ego of superhero Captain Reality Check. :D
Like how this movie was made the same year I was born. Still a great movie today
I love the line that ray call ivo shandor being a certified genius or a aesthetic Wacko.
After seeing the stuff from Afterlife, I feel this might be the most important scene in the entire franchise. The story really seems to imply that Shandor had a Plan B.
True, but I bet Shandor didn't bet on getting ripped apart in two...😊
Bingo. Phoebe Spengler said the New York high rise was built from material found in the mines in the city Ivo founded. If New York washed out, then Ivo had Summerville as backup.
Also begs the question what would have happened if Gozer won the battle of 84, poor Ivo was still dead in Oklahoma and would have missed it lol
@@Madbandit77 Ivo shouldn't have been screwing around with an Interdimensional God. Gozer clearly doesn't value any other forms of life. No matter how helpful.
@@KHayes666 Another thing..... anyone else think Afterlife retconned the Video game? If the Busters had already fought Shandor in the 90's, how do we explain his preserved corpse in Summerville?
@@RM2011ish Afterlife is a direct sequel to the first movie. Ghostbusters 2, 3 and 2016 aren't mentioned at all
look at afterlife, THIS SCENE sets it up PERFECTLY, i think Egon dug deeper than this scene indicated, THATS WHY he moved to that dirt farm to set up shop......., WHY THEN didnt he just tell the otheres sooner????
He tried but no one believed Egon
The more I watch this in my older years, the more I'm surprised how it was adapted into a children's cartoon. This movie really wasn't for kids.
You hit the nail right on the head. A lot of innuendo & adult content.
The cartoon had some pretty heavy themes as well.
I mean, the scene where Ray gets a ghost Blow Job...
The PG rating back then was not a family rating. This movie would have been (or maybe not?) PG-13 if it was released a little later than it did. But then again PG movies still had F-bombs ocassionally and language, as shown by the green band PG trailer of "Code of Silence" (rated R) which had the F-bomb from a scene unedited. And that movie was in 1985, when the PG-13 rating was around. The PG rating didn't become a family rating until 1995.
PG movies had many things that would be PG-13. But some movies pushed the boundaries and were almost R-rated. "Escape from Alcatraz" has a scene where fingers are cut off. That should have been R. But it was PG.
GREATEST MOVIE OF OUR CHILDHOOD NOTHING TOUCHES THIS MOVIE THE ACTING , LAUGHS , ACTION AND STORY
1984, wow- what’s long time ago. This scene is so memorable 😁
i was 14, and loved it!
1:21 I found the way Egon grins here while he explains everything always kind of creepy.
Think about it: Egon is also a doctor. He also attempted to perform unnecessary surgery. With a little nudge, Egon could have gone in very much the wrong direction...
When Bill broke out "so be good!" Part I thought he was gonna sing santas comin to town lol
He actually was, singing it in a sarcastic manner! "So be good, for goodness sake, Whaoooa, somebody's comin'!"
"No Study" no go read ur Tobin Spirit Guide lol
🤦🏼♀️
In 4 years, the prison/jail guard moves to LA, becomes a beat cop, and helps John McClane defeat a small army of terrorists! Then, one year later his family matters are documented and sold as entertainment. Quite the ride, my friend. Quite the ride!
I never knew Carl Winslow was in this Movie! Crazy. This is probably how he got the Die Hard role! 😂
Egon should give Sgt. Al Powell his Twinkie for letting them out
My favorite part 1:58 "to be good,for goodness sake whoa somebody is coming"😂😂😂😂
"I' gotta split, the mayor wants to rap with me about some things"
Love the expression on Harold Ramis's face around the 1:20 mark. His face is like "Here's a juicy story for you" when he begins talking about Ivo Shandor's medical career
Anyone realize the cop that let the Ghostbusters out is the same cop that helped out John McClane in the first Die Hard? He’s still help out the good guys!
And then Carl moved on to star in one of the greatest sitcoms of all time... Family Matters.
Ahh. No decade does epic movies like the 80s. Remember going to see this in 84, aged 7.
If it's in a prison in New York City, or a diner in an old mining town in Oklahoma ..
.. when four people are talking about the end of the world, YOU PAY ATTENTION!
I’m liking where this new movie is going already with the ties back to this scene. Doctor/ architect with a crazy cult following to help build a superconductor to end the world... mine still active and channeling ancient evil... nicely done
2:27 After this that Cop got a transfer to LA, where he became involved in the Nakatomi building Heist with John McClane. Same goddamn Universe.
***** then settled down with his family in chicago.. Family is all that matters after all
***** "turn my car into Swiss cheese"!!!
+Grant Menmuir Sergeant Al Powell just never gets a frigging break.
Can't catch a damn break. Even when he's home, he's constantly tortured by a smart, but clumsy neighbor.
And drove his patrol car like Steve Wonder.
Anybody here after watching Ghostbusters: Afterlife? I am.
I'll be honest: I so wanted a scene where the convicts came to Ghostbusters HQ lookimg for a job! That would have be beautiful!
1:42 Probably not the best thing to say in front of...prisoners. I loved the fear Egon had after saying that lol!
I don't think it was something that would have pissed off the other prisoners. I think it just made them curious, and Egon just milked the momentary popularity like, 'Yes, people are listening to ME.' I could be wrong, but that's what I think.
***** You may be right. I was angling for the prisoners being an example of the "sickness of society". So I was guessing the prisoners were like, "Hey, I think he's talking specifically about *us*!"
+Agent1W I don't think the prisoners were smart enough to follow that kind of logic.
I love Winston...."I think I need my own lawyer on this stuff"
I am SO SLOW. I just realized that the cop who comes to get them out of jail and take them to see the mayor is played by the same actor who plays Sgt. Al Powell in "Die Hard," and at least one of the sequels.
He shot a kid, hey how would you know?
In hindsight, this is the moment that festered in Egon’s brain that caused him to rush to Summerville. Egon knew Ivo Shandor well enough to know a secret back up plot.
Not to mention his numerous followers probably have their own back ups just in case
"Whoooaaa-Ohh, somebody's comin'!" I love the original Ghostbusters so much. I came here for Carl from Family Matters. He's always playing a cop. He was considered for the role of Winston.
I saw Afterlife yesterday, and the scene in the dinner and the other kids where watching the main four. I couldn't help but smile when it immediately made me think of this scene.
Same!
Ghostbusters Afterlife was a worthless piece of refuse. It will be forgotten along with Ghostbusters 2016. Ghostbusters 1984 and Ghostbusters II were genius movies.
@@liberty4392 the 1986 Ghostbusters one I can understand but why hate quite a decent film that is Afterlife?
I did a typographical error in my previous post. I put Ghostbusters 1986 when I meant Ghostbusters 2016. The reason Ghostbusters Afterlife was awful was the awful plot and terrible acting. I was literally bored after 67% of the movie was over because I could see the predictable, redundant end of the film coming and most of the movie was not funny. Both good previous Ghostbusters movies had very good comedy in them. The kids also see terrifying supernatural occurances such as their Mom being possessed and none of the kids show any fear at all. There are many other examples of an awful plotline and they could not even come up with another villain but instead do a cheap bring back of Goser The Gosarian. Then they expect me to cry because they bring back Egon in spirit form. This was a movie I wish I had missed.
@@liberty4392 I can agree with you on the 2016 one for sure with you, but the reason why I like afterlife is because it's entertaining to some of us and that it was a tribute to the actor who played Egon Spengler.
But I do see the reason why you think Afterlife isn't as good.
What makes bill Murray’s performance so great is that it seems like bill Murray doesn’t take the movie or role seriously at all lol
Right down to him doing his recording for the video game at a damn golf resort.
Man Officer Carl Winslow sure gets around.
Sgt Al Powell in disguise
I just think it’s funny that even in 1920, Shandor and his buddies wanted to end the world because they thought society was too sick to survive… they hadn’t seen nothing yet 😂😂😂
It was because of the First World War that Shandor concluded humanity was beyond saving. World War I ended in 1918, and Shandor founded the Gozer cult in 1920.
tRump and his goons tried to take over the world but failed
@montgomeryscott5657 humanity is definitely beyond saving.
@Surfer041 at least tRump lost the election
