- Hello welcome to my current comfort character. I hope this doesn’t get copyrighted 😟 it probably will, but let’s just hope it won’t get taken down. Also this is the first video I’m posting on this channel that’s not like an actual video of me ahaha I hope y’all don’t make fun of me-
- Zábava
He’s canonically one of the first people to ever say “Ur mom” as an insult
He also defeated the Boogeyman. clearly history owes much to dr Spengler
@@satansonion3222 amen to that girlie
LITERALLY PULLED OUT “YOUR MOTHER” 💀💀
Egon doesn't get angry very often, but when he does it's scary! 😱
@@satansonion3222 He also figured out how to trap Gozer & he came back as a ghost to do it! Doesn't get anymore badass than that!
Seeing Egon Spengler, usually the reserved scientist more about smarts than emotion, lose it, shouting "YOUR MOTHER!", and charging ferociously at Walter Peck while the others desperately hold him back is still one of the greatest moments in this movie.
Agreed!
Can’t recall where I read it but I read somewhere that egon was known to have a temper when pushed far enough. ‘Your mother’ is definitely one of my favorite egon scenes xD
I will never not wish they’d just let him have at it rather than hold him back.
@@fever_spike same, I wanna see what would've happened
i went back to this vid just to find this comment
Egon was the hottest Ghostbuster and no-one can convince me otherwise
If you think about it, Egon is probably as smart as Tony Stark, but operating on a teacher's salary.
And the theory that all the people who die in multiple universes all are in the same afterlife means they’re just chilling together….
I love how Harold Ramis improvised Egon’s line ‘that would’ve worked if you hadn’t stopped me’. Shows that Harold didn’t just PLAY a genius, he WAS a genius.
Res in Peace, Mr. Ramis.
Everyone brought their improv A-game to the movie. Rick Moranis with his on-the-fly depiction of how Louis should move and sound, Bill Murray with his own brand of off-the-cuff schtick, etc. Half the humor comes from lines that weren't in the script but from the actors themselves.
Still one of my favorite exchanges of dialogue in the whole movie, after 35 plus years as a fan.
don't remind me please
It is perfect that will dressed up as him in Stranger Things because will is my favorite character
Not enough people talk about how Egon runs away from the librarian ghost backwards. He looks like he's dancing !!
The way he moves at that part is so funnyyyy I was laughing so hard while I edited it
You are a good observer. Great. 😉👍🏼 What makes the two masterpieces wonderful are the details
@@julietontheinternet6091fr
he's awkward he's shy - thats why i love him
i love you
Harold Ramis was a smiley person in real life and interviews. Harold's charm and legacy will live on within the Ramis family for years on end. Harold also made a decision in which he decided Egon should not smile in the movie.
That's why I married a man just like him. ^_^ As Winston said, "It's always the quiet ones". ;)
@@julietfan6425 XD
I love how he was trying to make his bed, while trying to find his glasses and get dressed at the same time😂 me too man, me too
(5:43)
@@therealruvysvat2215 💯 facts LOL
1:28
He's an adorable nerd, how can you not love him?
I HATE HIM
@@julietfan6425 weird flex but ok. You literally commented on a Spengler appreciation video
Im a simp for this mans
I'm no simp, but I agree with this comment.
Agreed ❤
I love how all the mains were such chads they had to cast the 6'1" Sigorney Weaver as the love interest to keep the normal dimorphic proportions.
The height difference between her and Rick Moranis is also hilarious.
@@julietontheinternet6091 *With Janosz too*
I thought she was 5' 11"
@@kristinadospoy7347 i believe she is. however, she could get to 6’1”+ with heels.
They are all extremely tall and Sigourney pointed that out in an interview. I can’t get over how tall and talented they all are. In other words, they are all very tall and very smart! I know I’ve been around people like that.
Me: *sees him hugging janine*
*"You wish that was you huh?"*
Yup absolutely
Rick shut up, you've let me down
@@hampyton4142 I've deserted u
Yea lol
Yes.
I adore that Egon Spengler's brain has an away message.
It's so *polite*
@@satansonion3222 your mom is so polite
Dickless had it coming. (crosses arms)
I love how many folks are rediscovering the badassery and general endearing awesomeness of Dr. Egon Spengler. He's been my most cherished comfort character for about 35 years, now.
That's the perfect description for him. A comfort character. Hell, for the past month in a shitty stage in life, this franchise keeps the blues away. Comfort zones exist for that reason.
Janine's psychic ability predicted Egons death.
Never thought it that way...
She was definitely right
Timestamp
“Listen! Do you smell something?”, is an underrated, line.
Lol I didn't even pick that up
I love the little nuances of his performance, I’ve seen these films a million times but didn’t notice half this stuff until it was highlighted, the awkward grin and twitchy eyelids during the commercial scene had me in stitches 😂😂😂
Like when asked what should they do it looks like he's trying to calculate an answer.
It's hilarious
This man is my hero. He’s so smart, even his hobbies are intellectual. He proclaimed that print was dead decades before ebooks!
the way he runs from the libray ghost gets me every time
Him screaming “YOUR MOTHER!” Always gets me 😂
3:40 LOL Everyone is Drinking a Budweiser and here's Egon Drinking a Can of Coca Cola!
relatable of him tbh
@@julietontheinternet6091 Exactly!
Yeah I'm also drinking a can of Coca Cola now
@@julietontheinternet6091 yep, he is relatable. In a good way though XD
egon will always be my favorite. he’s awkward, has some of the best lines, and of course, adorable 🥰
I like how hes awkward but not rude or totally socially inept, hes still polite and cordial
I love that. He's clearly the smartest of the bunch, and yet he never treats anyone with arrogance or disdain
Egon sure ate a lot of junk food. ROFL!
Egon is relatable
5:27 the way his eyes and face went back when he said “i looked at the trap ray” 😂😂😂 gotta love egon!
8:22 *I just love how he moves his head in a dramatic way*
I didn't noticed egon winked at the cam in the commercial until this vid, thank you.
Decades later, I'm still blown away by Egon's subtle suggestive gestures he makes as Peter Venkman runs through billing prices for the hotel manager:
*Egon Holds up four fingers quickly*
Peter: Four big ones; four thousand dollars. However, we're also doing a special on Proton Charging and Storage of The Beast and that's going to come too
*Egon holds up fore-finger*
Peter: One thousand dollars.
Oh yeah I remembered that.
Peter: 5k please
Manager: NO!
Peter: Ray put back the ghost right back in
the size of the crush i have on this man i s2g
Is it bigger than the twinkie?! Cus mine is
Egon is my favorite character of all time!! I love that because he is smart, serious and cute.
*"NICE SHOOTIN' TEX!!!!"* - the other funny Bill Murray line.
I love this. Egon is such a quiet character, you really have to catch his mannerisms and expressions.
5:15 This look on his face is classic!
The hand gestures when he tells Venkman how much to charge the hotel for catching Slimer.😁
I am 51yo. I saw Ghostbusters on opening weekend in June 1984. I loved it so much I saw it three more times that weekend (I stole $ from my foster mom's purse). It has been and always will be THE stranded on an island and can only watch one movie repeatedly movie! RIP Harold Ramos. Afterlife was an awesome tribute to you my hysterically funny friend💜
5:40 I watched this movie growing up and it wasn't until about 5 years ago that I noticed Egon giving Venkman hand signals for what to charge.
Egon’s legit my favorite ghostbuster. The man is an icon.
.Egon: I looked at the trap Ray! I swear Egon had the funniest lines in the movies that’s why I love him so much 😂😂😂
I love how Egon honestly did not give a damn half the time lmao
Egon lunging after Peck while cursing his mother is so truly awesome.
Egons most iconic line "it would be bad"
2:26 *tip tap* “this building should be condemned”
Even though it's not Egon who said it, "WE CAME, WE SAW...WE KICKED ITS ASS!" and, "That's a big Twinkie," two best lines that make me crack up. RIP Harold Ramis.
“I feel like the floor of the taxi cab”
Damn I didn’t pick this up when I was a kid.
Only Egon would call an almost perfect stack of books hot
2:40 That slow head shake tho, lol I never spotted that
Rip Harold, thank you for being our favorite ghostbuster ❤️
He is adorable
I didn't notice until someone pointed it out that Egon was telling Peter what figures to charge for capturing Slimer
While it's not in this clip list, I love the short scene during the Hotel search where Egon uses the PK meter, scans up the butler, then gives him a little poke to check he's not a ghost before moving on.
4:07 I didn't realize how much egon and phoebe looked alike until now ;-;
o i see it now 😳❤️
As someone who has now watched the movie (and frackin loved it at that) they had the perfect actress play phoebe. The facial expressions she makes during the movie reminded me so much of egon at made me so happy
Like grandfather, like granddaughter.
Finn Wolfhart looks .Ike Egon as well
@@melissarose0126 In case you didn't know, he did the voice for The Player from Netflix's Carmen Sandiego.
This really is just a compilation of every time Egon is on screen and frankly I love it
LMAO hello the me of one year ago we're back here again
there's not a single brain cell among them, even egon and I love him. honestly when the brain cell stops by for a visit, winston has all the rights to it.
4:00 his face tho
man’s terrified. pure terror.
I never noticed how Egon gestures the prices with his fingers to venkman
You know if they made this movie now Egon would be like Sheldon Cooper. Egon is probably my favorite genius in fiction because he is so relatable.
How can you not love him he’s adorable!!! Long live the king! 👑❤️
Well, I love all of them but..... man he's the best and EHM-.... ✨hottest✨? 🤣
I love all four guys, they had a great big personalities and it's what made them unique! The brain, voice, heart and muscle :)
He's my comfort character too
I collect spores, molds and fungus 😂
Egon is quite simply the best Ghostbuster
Is it just me or do any of y'all notice that Egon is the only one who doesn't DRINK in the entire franchise? I just see him drink coca cola. Smart, in case you have a job off the bat. I actually lived in the same hometown as harold for a little bit, when my family had a roofing company. I got to meet him and speak to him in person as the store was right across from my school. He was heading there one day and stopped to talk to me. That man was one of the kindest and sweetest actors I've talked to as well as the funniest. ❤ RIP Harold Ramis
It's crazy how this video showed me all the things I missed whenever I'd watch this film! Thank you for compiling all of this. ^_^
First crush I ever had! And still do! Love Egon! 😍☺️🥰😘
Fun fact, the firehouse that the Ghostbusters HQ is set in during the movie is an actual Firehouse in new york. It's called The Hook and ladder eight. They even have the Ghostbusters 2 sign hanging up over the entryway for a long time. Recently the sign was damaged and some fans started to go fund me to create a new Ghostbusters 1 symbol to replace the damaged one. The goal was $1,000. Last time I checked the goal had been reached but that was last year during april. I don't know if a new symbol has been made or if it's even been hung up over the firehouse. Still really cool that they had the original Ghostbusters 2 sign from the movie hung up over the original firehouse.
I was there March 2022 yes It is there:)
"Listen! Do you smell something?"
The CAPTIONS-I was SCREAMING…THANK YOU FOR THIS ♥️♥️♥️
Aaah, I’m glad you enjoyed it as much as I do! I’m gonna make more videos like these soon for other characters as well, I hope everyone likes those tooo.
@@julietontheinternet6091 Right from the start, even! The WTF WTF WTF took me out, but I will always maintain that if Petey did that to me, I’d be standin’ up ready to throw some hands, ‘cause that book hitting that tabletop was LOUD.
This is basically every time he's on screen and I'm all for it
That's what I loved so much about ghostbusters, you rooted for and loved all the main characters, Egon was cool in his own way and even as a kid I thought that was fanastic.
Ray was always my favorite Ghostbuster because I identified with his excitability and energy, but Egon remains an amazing icon. A lot of newer viewers only say they can identify with Peter, and I never really understood why. Maybe it’s because he’s so front and center (because it’s Bill Freakin’ Murray) but even as a young kid, I never thought I’d any Ghostbuster as being lesser in service of the story just because they weren’t as front and center. Having grown up, I now know how much Harold and Dan contributed to the story, and although Peter is front and center, he’s only accentuating the ideas of Dan, Harold, and Ivan. Dan was the idea man, Ivan was the guy to reign in the chaos, and Harold… Harold made it funny. Without Egon, there would be no Ghostbusters.
Peter is kind of a normal guy while Ray and Egon are nerds
Egon is my favorite as well. He’s the brains behind everything
I love Egon Spangler so much and Rip Harold Ramis. 🙏🏻😭
the way he runs away from the ghost is so funny cause why is he skedaddling away
one of my favorite details about egon is just food choices. always junk food. often horribly sweet. even preferring soda over beer. stuff like that. subverts the small trope of the "smart character" always being a stickler about health.
this also includes the part in the 2008(?) video game where he says he's only been sleeping about 14 hours a day LMAO (and you can see a whole ass coffee pot -- and more junk food -- on his nightstand)
This is why he’s still my favourite Ghostbuster (still love you Dan, Ernie & Bill), RIP Harold Ramis
6:01 leave him alone, clearly he is uncoordinated and has an invisible bicycle
He's been one of my comfort characters ever since I first watched Ghostbusters. He must be a beautiful angel.
Also my two favorite parts:
'Where's the keymaster?' *that look that says oh no* 'sh*t.'
'YOUR MOTHER!' *angrily charging at Walter Peck* ( Best moment in the whole ghostbusters movies )
Have a nice day
It’s fun to see all the little details you normally miss by watching the film in its entirety. Thanks
when Peter talks about Egon trying to drill a hole thru his own head, it looks like Ray didn't know about that because he looks over at Egon like "I'm sorry you tried to do what🤨"
my ultimate comfort character 🥰
He is the smartest, hottest, cutest and daddiest one. Love him.
Man Harold Ramis is such a good actor, so much little details he put into Egon that I missed lol and I've seen this film so many times. Love the way he was so relaxed and composed after the bell rang for the first job while Venkman and Ray were going crazy lol
Drilling holes in heads in antiquity DID work, it’s called trepanation and helped relieve pressure on the brain due to excess swelling from trauma or illness before humans mastered complex surgery and medications became more widely available. And the chemistry among these 3 comedians is unparalleled. There is nothing quite like OG Ghostbusters.
Except Egon probably didn't have swelling from trauma or illness. To him it would've been just another science experiment.
You should check out The Goodies, another great comedic trio. In fact they're my favourite trio. The Ghostbusters are my favourite quartet because I never leave out Winston.
I love all these little edits highlighting the charming and excellent performance, so many hilarious little details that are easy to miss! Ghostbusters is such an absolute classic!
They did him the absolute opposite of dirty in Afterlife. They in fact, did him clean.
Egon is my childhood crush and he is the definition of my type
Egon: *Listening to wood* WTF WTF WTF lol 😂 Egon is quite definitely my favourite
7:02 Vince is probably the only terror dog that’s the most kindest and most dumbest one to and causally giving egon everything to him in the room and and drink boiling water
I know they played down and cut out a lot of the Egon & Janine stuff from the final cut of the movie but I love at the end during the credits when she runs up and hugs him and he’s happy to see her. Then says ‘come on’ and leads her to the car ❤
8:55 *I think that scene is what started my fear of heights.*
I think that scene might have given Egon a slight fear of heights lol
when I tell friends: "you better not be watching those anime girls that are actually boys, they could be a trap"
my friend: 5:27
I really love how GB is a part of geek fandoms on the internet and yet it takes the piss out of those kind of people.
0:37 "Listen!... You Smell Something?.."
3:23 pov of my friend shining a light in my face at Phasmophobia
Man, I really wish that Janine turned out to be Callie's mother. That would have been the ultimate full circle.
I believe Harold didn’t like the idea of Egon and Janine being together which is why they didn’t go that route in either Ghostbusters 2 or Afterlife
@@mrcritical6751 I know that, but he seemed to ease up on it in the video game, which means there could have been an opening to explore that route after all.
What if her mother turned out to be that hot blond college student that Venkman with hitting on at the beginning of the original Ghostbusters?
@@melissarose0126 Callie was born before they met Jennifer.
Idk I feel like if they did make Janine Callie's mother it would've made the whole "Egon not being for his family" thing worse
Because we don't know Callie's mother but we know Janine, so it would've made Egon look worse because he abandoned Callie AND Janine
“YOUR MOTHER!!!!!!”
:Egon Spangler 1984
8:57 THE CROTCH FACEPLANT WILL NEVER NOT BE FUNNY 😂😂
Legend
mom?
Egon is the ultimate nerd
Funny story when I first watched this movie I saw him as Harry potters dad 😅😂
LOL same!!!
Okay but why am I in love with him?
Rip Harold ramis he will always be remembered
i love this man
