Fun fact: Will ferrell actually is scared of Jack in the box toys IRL . So his reactions during the toy testing scene, were very real.
😂I used to be scared of mannequins as a kid
Also, the director, Jon Favreau, was off camera with a remote to open them. So Will never knew when they were gonna blow and his surprise was always genuine 🤣
*Fun facts*
The very first shot of the movie that was shot was with Buddy walking in the Lincoln Tunnel. The crew literally sent Will Ferrell and a cameraman down the tunnel and the two had to be smooshed against the wall with real cars passing by. It actually caused some minor accidents since the drivers were distracted in seeing Will Ferrell dressed in an elf outfit.
The last shot of the movie that was shot was with Buddy leapfrogging and goofing all over New York City. The only people there on the set was Will Ferrell, Director Jon Faveru, and a cameraman. The trio went goofing all over New York City to capture some shots, wrecking havoc and running into real-life pedestrians, including the man in the red whom Buddy mistakes as Santa. 🤣😂🤣😂
(CAMEOS): The two Empire State Building guards who escort Buddy out. The tall guard is Will Ferrell's younger brother, Patrick Ferrell. The director, Jon Faveru, plays the doctor and the voice of Mr. Narwhal. Ming-Ming the elf is played by Peter Billingsley, who is famously Ralphie from the 1983 Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story".
Most of the interior shots (Gimbels, doctor's office, jail cell, mailroom, Walter's apartment and office) were all shot at an abandoned mental hospital in Vancouver.
The scene where Buddy screams as he gets his finger prick. It actually made James Caan (Walter) brake character on set. If you watch the scene, you can see him turn away as he silently chuckles.
James Caan, the famous award-winning "GODFATHER" actor, played Walter. Most of the crew was actually scared working with Caan on set because of his real-life stern and solemn personality which helped make the persona for Buddy's dad. One of his explosive moments included the scene in which he yells at Buddy in the office to get out of his life, which was done in one take after Jon Faveru whispered something into Caan's ear which angrily provoked him.
The idea for the movie came from the screenwriter, David Berenbaum, who was born to a Jewish Philadelphia-native family. Every year, he enjoyed watching Christmas classics and getting into the Christmas spirit. The origins came about when his father passed away during his childhood. This gave him the idea to write a lovable Christmas story in which the character searches for his biological father and ends in a heart-warming reunion that we know of today.
Most of the movie was heavily influenced by another Christmas classic, "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" made in 1964 by Rankin/Bass Productions. The director and screenwriter wanted the movie to be a Rankin/Bass type by using its famous stop-motion animation for the three puppets and Leon the Snowman, as well as using the characteristics from "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" for the setting of the North Pole and all the elf costumes.
Which fact was your favorite?
ELF remains as one of my six, ALL-TIME favorite Christmas classics! We literally watch it every year. :)💕💕❤❤
You are an amazing person for this comment! ❤️
This is a whole essay 💀
ALL OF THEM THANK YOU. I love that Caan got trigger to be angry for the scene like he's the hulk or something. And to imagine the crew wreaking havoc through NYC and you were there. you got pissed that they ruined your day then a couple months later you see you're in the movie!!
Im going to go out on a limb and say youre a fellow ravenclaw lol
thanks for sharing!
The actress Zooey Deschanel did her own singing for the film, she's actually part of a band called "She and him"
Her voice is gorgeous too.
Lol😂😂😂😂ye ye you guys are rayt
😂😂😂😂 Funny nios I have never seen this
I loved her singing in Trolls ♥️
@@KayKay114 me, too.
Will has said that his inspiration for Buddy's persona in this movie was his 5-year-old son at the time and you can really see it once you know that little tidbit.
Ohh well that makes sense! He had the role down
….except will’s first son was born a year after the movie came out???? (Not saying you’re wrong, he could have a step son)
@@krmickey9764 nope you’re right, Will and his wife have each only been married once (to each other) and their eldest son was born in 2004. He has no step kids.
@@BillyBinges my favorite cookies are chocolate chip
Did you notice that Buddy’s baby in the end is named Suzie after his mom Susan?
I didn’t until now!!! 😮
What? I have seen this movie every year and i never spotted it
I’ve seen this movie so many times and just noticed this for the first time yesterday! 🤯
@@Lydia.B123 same
How have I never noticed this
This was an instant classic when it first came. This is traditional for me at this point. I'll watch it even when it's not Christmas. Will Ferrell nailed this role.
I never believed in Santa because I realized as a kid that "Santa" had the *same* handwriting as my mom. I ended up telling my big brother he wasn't real and effectively ruining his childhood. He got me back by ruining the Easter Bunny for me though so we're even 🤣
Leave up to the older brother to ruin things 😂
That's how I figured it out too.
I also figured it out by my moms handwriting.
I figured out because I have all my cousins Christmas letters had different handwriting than the ones me and my siblings got. We literally would compare them every year 😂
This is why my sister had ME write all the letters from Santa throughout the years lol. They wouldn't know my handwriting lmao. When my nephew found out Santa wasn't real, one of the first things he asked was who wrote the letters? Lol my sister told him it was his aunt!
I'm from Michigan, and as a 25 year old adult I get in snowball fight weeks during the winter. Kids, family, friends. Everyone.
The elf staring over Buddy's shoulder, named Ming Ming, was Ralphie in "A Christmas Story" (Peter Billingsley).
And the "angry elf" is Peter Dinklage, aka Tyrion Lannister on Game Of Thrones.
A small, strange part of me has always wanted to try that spaghetti monstrosity Buddy created in this, not gonna lie
Agreed man! Like what the hell ingredients do I need to make that?!
Same...I know if I try it I’ll be sick for days
Yooo, saaaame! 😂😂😂
Will Farrell actually ate the spaghetti creation he (Buddy) made, and got a migraine from all the sugar!!!
This, Home Alone 1 (and 2) and Jim Carrey's The Grinch are me and my girlfriend's favourite Christmas films we basically watch every year.
Same here lol and Christmas with the cranks too
Same, but also Nightmare Before Christmas is a staple for Christmas and Halloween for me too LoL 😊🥰🎄🎃
Live in Ontario, Canada. Snowball fights were one of the best things about Christmas Eve growing up.
grew up in Rochester NY ...snow ball fights were awesome
I grew up in Anchorage Alaska and the snow was never the tight consistancy for snowballs... always made me super sad cuz I live snowball fights
In Wisconsin it's also always been just a traditional thing us kids used to do
the moment i said thank you to my parents for my christmas gift and they said your welcome... my childhood was ruined
Ohhh 😲 nooooo 😂
On Netflix, they have making of this movie. So interesting! Definitely worth a watch.
The Holiday Movies That Make Us
I actually watched it the other day!! So good
@@BillyBinges they have a regular Movies That Made Us as well. 80s movies. Dirty Dancing, Home Alone, Die Hard, and Ghostbusters.
@@alishagrossman4080 Wellp, you two officially gave me something new to put on my Watch List!!! Thanks!
I love how much Will Ferrell commits to his roles, no matter how silly he looks. Really fun reaction! For some recommendations for this month: The Night They Saved Christmas(80s Christmas classic), Christmas Vacation, and Gremlins! #bingers
One of my favorite 🎄movies of all time!!
I can see why
Hahaha so everytime you see Zooey in a movie you'll automatically not trust her. 😂
I don’t trust her no more 😂
I highly recommend Scrooged starring Bill Murray or even National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation starring Chevy Chase.
Another Will Ferrell movie you should react to : Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
Save me Tom Cruise 😂😂
@@oohsunchips there are so many quotes from this movie I use in my daily life.
“Slingshot engaged” - whenever I am swerving in and out of traffic
“I’m all jacked up on Mountain Dew”
“I’m gon come at you like a spider monkey”
“Dear 8lb 6oz newborn infant Jesus, don’t even know a word yet”
“If you ain’t first you’re last”
“Here’s the deal-I’m the best there is. Plain and simple”
“Daddy, you made that grace your b*tch.”
@@fanofauburn11 You’re a goat Emma🔥
Yes
Jon Favreau made Ironman and plays happy Hogan in the mcu
#Bingers
Watch home alone
And The Mandalorian. This guy is awesome
@@fightingfaerie He also made the horrible Lion King remake and the Jungle Book remake XS I hope he won't ruins other Disney movies, i'm gonna be really dissapointed! I like his role in Spider-man Homecoming BUT destroying good kids movies is WRONG!
@@missmangas7298 The movies still exist. Nothing is destroyed.
Jon Favreau directed multiple marvel movies and a Star Wars TV show. He has also acted in both franchises.
This is the way
I grew up in Rochester NY I loved the snow as a kid...then got older and hated it.....Then moved to Florida...😂🤣😂🛣️
I didn’t watch ELF until a few years after it came out, when it played on TV. Something about the movie posters made it look annoying , so I avoided it. I’m glad I eventually watched it because it’s a really good Christmas movie. I watch it every year now with my kids.
"Just watched your reaction to **ELF** for the first time, and it made my day! 🎄🐿 Your genuine laughter and commentary brought back so many great memories from the movie. It’s such a classic! Can't believe you waited this long to see it. Buddy's antics are priceless! Can’t wait for more of your movie reactions!"
I live in Minnesota! Had lots of snow ball fights growing up.. not painful at all and really fun. Also we would build forts in the snow... snow tunnels as a kid... so much fun during winter as a kid!
"Coming in here looking like a old sweet potato" lmao that killed me 😂
Fun fact: the scenes outside are real! He actually put chewed gum in his mouth...
Ah nooooo. You just scarred me for life with this “fun” fact! 😂😂😂
These Christmas movie reactions are so much fun. You gotta do the Santa Clause and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation! #bingers
I live in Northern Canada. As far as snow activities go, snowball fights are pretty much painless. The real danger is sledding. I went over a small bump and was thrown into the air and had the wind knocked out of me.
“Do you live somewhere where it snows?”
As a matter of fact, I do. Shout out from Anchorage, Alaska, bro!
As a low income kid I figured out around 5, given media depictions and the fact that some years I wasn't able to get anything. I feel like most kids figure out young.
I'm not most kids apparently, I was 12 when I finally realized Santa wasn't real...😂😅🤪
I think you should watch either Jingle all the way or I'll be home for Christmas both really good movies
You loved the “How you like them apples?” line so I recommend Good Will Hunting if you’ve never seen that.
Never seen that movie before. But ima look into it
I’m not sure if this has already been said since I’m so late to this channel, but I love that the supervisor elf having the cotton-headed ninnymuggins convo with Buddy is a grown-up Ralphie from A Christmas Story!! He’s friends with Jon Favreau (director) and Jon asked him to do it.
Came here after seeing a Schindler’s list commentary... bro... needed this. It makes this movie so much more important to me. It shows the best of humanity after literally seeing the worst.
Thank you my dude.
This movie, The Santa Clause, Polar Express, Jingle All the Way, those Rankin Bass Christmas specials and Ernest Saves Christmas are some of my favorite things to watch around Christmas time.
After a struggle trying to make popcorn watching this video brings a smile to my face
I’m glad it could bring a smile to your face
@@BillyBinges your welcome
Yes!! I been searching for elf reactions a lot the last couple days.. glad I found you man:)
I’m Australian so big family Christmas for us, probably swimming!
Where I live we have been COVID free for 40 daysI 🙌 🙌
Wishing you a safe and happy holiday 😘 🎄
I love this movie. It was my mom’s favorite Christmas movie along with National Lapoon’s Christmas Vacation. I watched it with her every Christmas multiple times
This is one of your greatest reactions🤣 you should react to how the Grinch Stole Christmas the Jim Carrey one it’s as funny as Elf.
Thanks amp!!!
@@BillyBinges you’re welcome, I love the content, keep it up👍.
Love, love your reaction to this movie. I knew that scene with the gum would gross u out. Kept laughing all through out the video.
I've lived in Minnesota for my whole life, It's cold down here. But we have had all kinds of fun in the snow. Snowboarding, Sledding, and snowball fights.
My top two Christmas movies are The Santa Clause and A Christmas Story!
I really loved your commentary. ALWAYS making my day!
Man I love Elf! I hope you do reactions to Christmas Vacation, Scrooged, & How the Grinch Stole Christmas(live-action version). #bingers
First Time???? This is one of the best Christmas movies ever made. One of my favorites, SANTA!!! And yes, you need to watch The Santa Clause.
Too funny... Just the other day my friend posted a confession that he's never seen this movie and I had to confess that I've never seen it either
You’ve got to be my favorite reaction channel!! Love your reactions!!👍👍
I just wanted to say I love your reaction videos and thank you for your service and fighting for our country. Keep up the good content and I hope you have a wonderful day. 😄
I am not a fan of Will Ferrell, but I LOVE this movie!! I missed watching it last Christmas because I loaned it out and it never came back so we bought a digital copy. Last year was the first year I missed watching it since it came out. :D Merry Christmas to you and your Baby Girl
13:19 Angela Kinsey isn't the only one to say "chunk" instead of "chuck"! AMAZING!!!
Favorite cookie: my dad's chocolate chip cookies. Perfect with milk. *chef's kiss*
I know you said you can't really watch Netflix movies for commentary but just to watch on your own time during the Christmas season: Klaus and Grinch. Both are animated and perfect for both kids and adults! I think they both came out in 2019/2020. #bingers
Thank god you mentioned elf on a shelf! I almost forgot to do it tonight, watching this before bed 😂 also I live in Scotland so it’s freezing here in the winter but we don’t always get snow, sometimes it just rains all the time and then everything is icy, we only get like 3 months of warm weather in a year if we’re lucky 😂
7 years old grandma set out the presents on Christmas Eve not at night in the middle of the day I watched her do it😂😂
lol so funny, glad you did this one
I have had snow ball fight, when I was younger, and with my kids when they were younger lol
I live in Texas so I feel you on the not being around snow part. As for my favorite cookie, also sugar cookies. :)
I also just watched elf for the first time this year!
Happy Holidays BillyYSC, this was silly fun!
The part where Buddy whispers insults to the fake Santa, cracks me up 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
One of the best underrated Christmas movie, and my fav is "The Ref". Nobody else has done it, Soooo...
Oh my god, I finally know what you’re saying in the intro! 😂
Hilarious commentary and reaction, loved it!
I'm 35 and I still believe in Santa Claus 😁 I SWEAR I seen him once! He looked just like the Santa from the m&m commercials 🤣
I'd love to see you react to Christmas Chronicles. Both one and two
Great stuff Billy! I'd love to see reactions to the first two Santa Clause movies, as well as Christmas Vacation! #bingers
You have got me hooked on this channel I have laughed out loud. I do not care sometimes you have to let it out.
Hilarious film
I'm in a store and IM SINGING
I LOVE YOU
I LOVE YOU
Lol ya have me cracking up at your movie reactions. Funny thing you talking about escalators. Probably my first memory of an escalator-my dad was trying to reassure me it’s safe. I remember him saying “Ok let’s go” I nod my head, but he went on it as I stayed at the top (going down). My dad realized I’m not on it with him and he’s trying to run up the escalator to get back to me as I’m shaking my head, no! Lol 😂 if only back then we had a camera and AFV, we probably would have won. 😂
2:09 my hubby broke *both* his feet in October and I developed scoliosis so my parents flew us out to California for Christmas *and* thanksgiving 😁
We had a fun holiday season 😉 lol
I live in the upper peninsula of Michigan I can't wait for this stupid winter to be over I hate snow.
We used to get three feet of snow before Halloween. Now we are lucky if we get it before the end of November
My son is 9 and still believes in Santa and I want him to believe as long as he can! My mom continued playing Santa even after I knew the truth all the way up until I had kids of my own lol
Yes, snowball fights are painful. God forbid some ice gets into it then it gets real
The first year out of high school me, my brother, and about thirty friends organized an epic snowball fight/football game on the schools new brand new field. It was the best day if that year for me.
Crazy Stupid Love. I don't know how many people liked this movie, but I saw it in theaters and instantly loved it. I love the way the plot and the characters come together
Snowball fights are the best.
I tried syrup in spaghetti because of this and it's shockingly AMAZING!!!:D
He’s so funny lmao “SANTAAA” my sister has a Christmas shirt she wears with his face saying that. The burp part lmao. I watch this every time for Christmas along with The Grinch with Jim Carrey. Please react to Anchorman 2 it’s so funny please!! I actually tried maple syrup with it and tried it and isn’t bad.
I actually recently went to Georgia and Tennessee and it was snowing and there was ice, we actually had a couple accidents when we went there was a truck that was caught on fire and they had to put salt down on the roads so nobody else would slide and shit, there was black ice on the trees everywhere. My daughter who is 6 now and her father has never seen snow before so me and my family made this trip happened and they saw it for the first time in person.
you & your editor are great 😂
I never liked Elf at all, but the main one that I like is "Ultimate Christmas Present" its a Disney movie, and I'm a cookie monster but I like chocolate chip :D
Elf is the best no other argument
Yo! I just watched this for the first time the same day! I also played Buddy the Elf in the musical version of the show :D
Ohh what you played in the musical??? That’s sooo dope!!!
I love this movie! A movie my family and I watch for the holidays is Last Holiday. Basically, Queen Latifah gets diagnosed with a terminal illness and takes the greatest of great vacations to live the last of her life in pure luxury. It’s funny and we love it so if anyone is looking for a new movie to watch go check it out.
Fun fact, the elf that tells Buddy he’s special, not a cotton-headed ninny-muggins was Ralphie in A Christmas Story.
Omg he said get the drool out of your face and I did have drool on my face bru
From Canada - lots of experience with snow! Snowball fights are a ton of fun as long as people just use snow and don’t add rocks or anything that would really hurt
I live in the Caribbean, we ain’t never seen snow 🤣🤣🤣
Don’t think our cookies and y’all cookies the same
Great job again Billy!!!
Sugar cookies are the best! I would always ask my mom to make me some cookies with no chocolate chips when she would make a batch 🤣
My parents did this trick where up until we were around 9-10 years old, Santa always gave the cool presents while the parents gave the clothes and socks. Then they transitioned to where the parents gave the cool gifts and Santa gave the clothes and socks.
My favorite cookie is gingerbread or shortbread.
I stopped believing In Santa clause when I was about 8 my younger brother and I were snooping for gifts and he found one that said from santa and asked me why.. so I told him that santa drops gifts off early to some parents as he cant make it to everyone's house in one night. He kept believing but I knew from then on.
Great reaction :) thank you
Man you don’t know what fun is till you are part of snowball war but then there’s kids like me that would sometimes throw ice balls
Billy: “do you love somewhere where it snows often?”
Me living in Canada: yes
Hay billy great reaction. Just wanted to let you know a country legend passed away yesterday. You may want to do a tribute to Charlie Pride. Maybe "kiss an angel good mornin" or "roll on Mississippi".
I live in Indiana and it snows a lot in the winter. When I was a kid, I did snowball fights and they were fun. When I became an adult, my neighbors moved and they rented their house to some missionaries and their kids had never seen snow and so we had a snowball fight too, it was fun that one time, but I wouldn't just seek out a snowball fight now
18:52 Oh my lanta, I just caught that. They recreated the famous Bigfoot footage from 1967. 🤣
Ive never seen this either. But it was cute might have to check it out.
Andrea Martinez It’s a pretty funny movie, as long as you like Will Ferrel🙂
Wait. . . why would you watch a reaction of a movie that you haven't seen?
@@RandomAndysChannel because I love billyyousocrazy and ill watch anything he puts out
I recommend watching Scrooged starring Bill Murray. I think you'd like it #bingers
Yes to this!!!
Absolutely!
Fun fact Billy. This was Ed Ashner's 2nd time to play Santa. He played a criminal disguised as Santa Clause in The Christmas Star which was an 80s Disney Channel movie.
13:27 I live in Buffalo, NY and Winter is my second favourite season after Autumn lol
Gotta love the snow UwU
This movie is in my top 10 favorite Christmas movies
I have also only visited where it snows. But yes it is too cold.
My favorite reaction channel!!
Thanks Jordan!
