- Booooo! It's Halloween! You know what that means: a normal Best of the Worst episode except it's on a different set. This time, the gang is stuck in an Evil Dead-esque cabin to talk about three almost-movies, including one from the terrifying director of Shark Exorcist. Oh no!!!!
- Zábava
It's hard to believe a movie exists where a man is incidentally wearing two pairs of pants, his friend NEEDS a pair of pants, and the two plot lines do not intersect.
That's capitalism for ya!
@@CaptainPRESIDENT something something communism something NO pants
@@Yixdy To plagiarize Yakov Smirnoff, "In communist Russia, pants wear two pairs of YOU!"
IKR I was dying! Like how is this real??
@@CaptainPRESIDENT that's actually an interesting metaphor for economic inequality under capitalism
The sheer terror on Rich's face when he realizes Donald Farmer is the guy who directed Shark Exorcist is amazing
You can feel his fear from the screen.
@@rjebus2382 I thought he was gonna snap it so many times
Honestly I felt the same because of their clear boredom and exasperation with shark exorcist
My sides when Mike and Jay try to pin the blame on each other for picking it
I said "Oh fuck" out loud at work when they revealed who the director was.
"Opinions are like assholes, mine are right" is now quite possibly my favorite Mike Stoklasa quote
does this mean he leans left to shit and hard left to fart?
Feels like a Mythbusters quote I'll be bound to use one day
I always though the quote went "Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one".
Vinegar Syndrome sells those "Dont Panic!" dinosaur pajamas. Now that's hardcore dedication.
I can't believe that Rich built an entire log cabin somewhere in the woods, just as a set for this episode! The man keeps outdoing himself.
And he did it while dealing with his crippling AAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDDDS!
Ever notice that the log cabin and the Plinketto Board are never in the same room together?
And he did it as a ghost because he's.. DEEEEEEAAAAADDD!!
@@CaptainPRESIDENT Woooo.. spooky scary.
And I can't believe he planted the trees 60 years ago just to cut them down for the cabin.
This is the only time of year, where we get to see Jay so intoxicated that he can barely form English sentences. So savour it, people
When the suppressed memories of killing all those cats come flooding back
@@mixmastermind whooooaaaah the booze is really talkin now!
oh I will
Nice pfp btw
So it’s the only time of the year he turns into Rich.
The more drunk Mike becomes, the stronger his Wisconsin accent gets.
Is that an accent or just him slurring words?
@Idraksson Yes.
He’s not from Wisconsin originally though
@@bobbletcher17 Milwaukee changes a man
Being drunk has that effect
"My eyes are down here," must go on the record as one of Mike's best off-the-cuff jokes.
I cried laughing, I was not ready for that joke
It's definitely going into my future best of Mike on BotW compilation.
That's an apt line for verotika
"No pants" from Josh and "El Pacino" from Jay are nearly as good.
The transition from Rich being the punching bag to Mike being it was so subtle you almost didn't notice it over the last 8 years.
It started when Rich stopped drinking and Mike became that which he hates the most: old.
@@NiiRubra Spot. On.
Rich Evans is a power player
It's like poetry; it rhymes.
You might not notice it...but your brain did.
The reveal that 'Dorm of the Dead' was a Donald Farmer film was legitimately the scariest thing I've seen this whole month.
Apparently he was an extra in day of the dead too. Small world.
We all know it was Mike's idea.
and the spiderman pointing at himself when they asked who picked this :D
The inevitability of the girl having a seizure on the ground almost had me crying with laughter.
Looked up the 13 year old college student from Dorm of the Dead and found out she's an MD now. I'm happy she put this traumatic experience behind her.
Apparently she was some wunderkind student. Good for her to not let that old pervert drag her to the ground and squirm while down there!
she went from squirming on the ground to treating people squirming on the ground
I'm Mexican and 33. I even go to work with my Dinosaur pajamas, it's cultural thing, you guys wouldnt get it.
Rich: “How long is this DVD?”
Jay: “About 4.7 inches”
Getting too personal there Jay
something something DVD-RAM
"5.5, but thick." - Jack Donaghy
**slide whistle**
🤣😆😂... cue the slide whistle 😆
I swear Rich outdoes himself every single year with these sets. And the lighting in this one is gorgeous too.
rich is a legitimately talented set designer, especially when you realize the budget and time constraints RLM usually works on. then again, what else would you expect from America's Sweetheart "Hollywood" Rich Evans, as seen on the Ellen Show
@Cam this made my day! Lmfao!
@Cam Wow...mind blown
This was a stunning set
*EDIT* they just made a whole joke about the fireplace tv at the end
I saw that Rich used a TV and displayed a fireplace on the screen, I thought that was pretty clever haha
I love how excited everyone got when the "girl writhing on the dirty ground" scene finally happened lmao
Just think how many feet of fucking dude rope Don "Dick" Farmer shot jackin' it to the various shots while editing these..
Or shooting the footage of these..
_Or rewatching his leftover physical copies.._
You wanna hear something truly frightening? Shark Exorcist and Dorm of the Dead are what Donald Farmer *let's us see* that he's filmed. Just imagine all the footage that has never left his dingy basement...
Oh my God, is he the real life Mr Plinket?!
@@Pocketrocket-pj1us your aunt's treehouse.
I like how Jay's sneeze allowed him to escape time.
"developing long-lasting friendships" is the most diplomatic way of saying he fucks his actors lol
cried laughing
How else would RLM explain why he's so small?
🎃💀...you opened the tissue box...WE CAME!💀🤪💦
18:30 to relive that epic moment, btw
Really heartening to see how much Mike is being included in spite of his strangely muppet-centric dementia.
This comment killed me
Mike probably legitimately has an alcohol problem.
This is why I read comments before watching. The magic of trying to guess wtf this means and never getting it right
When Mike starts to rant at 28:00, Jay is constantly giving him looks like he already knows exactly how he's going to edit that part of the discussion.
So glad I read this. I often listen to these while doing something else and occasionally look at the screen, and I only had a vague sense of what Jay did there. It was amazing
Rich realizing that Dorm of the Dead was directed by Donald Farmer was like when Jay saw their thousand dollar cameras almost get destroyed by Rich.
>"Rich, you have this like. Flaw, about you."
>"...Ok."
God damnit, that was good.
"You've seen a movie before" I died
Did you guys know that Jay cut his hand during the room destruction scene and he just kept on working even though he was bleeding? Such a professional.
Better than Leonato decapodo
Better than Leonardo despocito
I also heard he broke his toe while kicking a VCR and his angry yell was actually his legitimate reaction to breaking his toe. What an actor!
very cool
@@jasoncampbell1723there it is
I can't wait for the episode where it's just 4 Mikes awkwardly spliced into the chairs all talking to each other incoherently because movies don't matter anymore.
I want to see a Wheel of the Worst with four Mike's watching a video involving elderly people, and they layer the four Mike's laughing uncontrollably at the old people.
"El Pacino."
There it was, Jay. The funniest thing you'll ever say and EVERYONE was around to hear it.
Knowing that Mike has completely forgotten the movies he’s seen on the Halloween episodes of BOTW is great, because that means he’s probably had to have been reminded why there’s over 30 copies of Vampire Assassin littered around the studio.
Him forgetting is hilarious. All those jokes he made at the expense of the elderly are now coming back to bite him in the ass.
I thought he was joking, but then I realized that I can't remember any of the crappy movies they watched on the Halloween episodes, and I just got done binge watching all of them..
I bet they’re a lot harder to remember since he doesn’t edit the Halloween episodes
This means tgey will never run out of movies cause mike will forget them
He had to make room in his memory so he can remember every second of "massaging the elderly".
Love that Mike is using his dementia as a party trick now.
He's a professional
Jay talking about how someone can be a harmless pervert is fitting
In a more recent video, they pointed out that John Waters is a harmless pervert
Spirit Tots may be Josh's best line
Holy hell... So, I went to high school with Ciara Richards, the lead actress in Dorm of the Dead, who must've been 14-15 when this was shot before it was distributed in 2006, and in that post-credits scene walked in Mr. Brewster, a teacher I had for Geometry who was thrown out middle of the spring semester 2008 for diddling students...
So, just gauging off this and Shark Exorcist (which was shot around middle TN at places like Opry Mills mall and featured notable, um, "ne-erdo-wells" of the Brewster type)... This Donald Farmer guy might not just be a pervert. I'm just saying!
Always fun when something that could be connected to a court case somehow shows up on Best of the Worst. Like that japanese bomber cult music video they had! Sounds less like this might be a fetish film than it might be an excuse for carrying cameras around for stuff, which, uh, yikes.
holy christ
@@KaosMachina this makes it so much worse that this got distributed 💀
minecraft him first ask questions later
actually bag both
I get the feeling that when Donald Farmer was a small child he witnessed a woman in a bikini having a seizure on a beach and it was the single most arousing experience of his life.
His entire filmography is just him desperately trying to recapture that feeling.
The only reasonable explanation
I think he privately produces these "movies" for wealthy "benefactors" and then cuts and releases the public-consumption versions that RLM is running over.
that's just David Lynch's backstory
Tenebrae style
That "Oh, Thank God" from the mom is the most genuine piece of acting in any of these movies. She sounds like this is her 500th take, and she's actually, legitimately fed up now
Also, might I suggest: El Pachiño
Or in Portuguese, O Pachinho
Might sound like her 500th take, but knowing these B-movies it was probably the one and only take.
There is so, SO much backstory to Don't Panic. The director made four horror films - Don't Panic, Cemetary of Terror, Grave Robbers (all three released by Vinegar Syndrome), Mutantes del año 2000 (a giant rat is murdering people within a heavily polluted, almost post apocalyptic Mexico), and a bunch of cheapy direct to video crime movies before moving on to television. The horror movies have a lot of influence from John Carpenter, Dario Argento, and lots of other directors. El Pacino is actually Jorge Luke, you might recognize him from some 1980s action and comedy films. Michael starred in another movie by Galindo Jr - Rescate Mortal - and he also starred in and DIRECTED another movie called Ratas nocturnas.
Frida went on to star in a few more movies and some soap operas. Tony still acts in movies and TV shows. Underwear dude now co-hosts a morning TV show (but he did a LOT of sleazy direct to video stuff in the 90s.) Shotgun guy is still acting a bit but he's mostly retired and his life story is ... quite a thing. Michael's mom is an award winning actress who worked with WERNER HERZOG AND KLAUS KINSKI.
The Mexican version of the film changes a few things but it's mostly the same. Half the reason the script feels so weird is because it's a near direct translation of it. And yes, that version is also overdubbed.
Thanks for the info. You are appreciated.
A Red Letter Media furry holy shit, just kidding I’m one to.
@@jondavis1234 Don’t you mean thanks furry.
Whats the title it was given in Mexico?
@@HugoMedina0511 Dimensiones ocultas ("hidden dimensions").
"My eyes are down here!"
Potentially a top-10 joke in RLM history.
fucking killed me for sure, i was laughing for a good 2 min straight with tears rolling down.
Frida.
It was PRISTINE.
And I bet Mike would disagree. It's always the ones Mike doesn't think are that funny, are the funniest. Which makes it even funnier. Genius.
“Potentially”? Nope. I had to pause it I was laughing so hard. 😂 #1
I cannot believe Mike went on a huge tirade about room trashing and Jay was sitting right there and neither one of them brought up the pharmacy scene in ZAAT!
Maybe they did, but it was too redundant of a joke to include in the video.
@@quaternio That wouldn't normally stop them :)
One of the first rules of sorcery is to not summon any presence that's too powerful for you to put down.
to be fair Mike cannot remember any of the movies they reviewed
@@ElRook it’s true. He didn’t even remember that they ever brought up Zaat until Jay reminded him they did a whole episode about it. Story of his life.
They immediately recognize Bartles and Jaymes, but not Ronald Reagan.
he was a better actor as president than he was as an actor
@@jennbaker6964 You nailed it.
You mean Cameron Mitchell?
everyone was awkward in the early days but i feel like josh has had the biggest glow up in terms of on camera performance. he's esp great in this ep
When the rage monkey died that was the most genuine “Noooooo” in agony from Jay he cared about that monkey more than anything
it was fake nooo, remember jay killed those cats..
Same energy as “Don’t hurt that Spooky”
He cared about the movie that could have been.
I guess it was a night of disappointment for Jay, he was so excited for the credits to overlap at the end of the second movie, only to be let down there as well
Rich died?
"Whose idea is this?"
Mike and Jay pointing the cameras at each other and pointing.
Laughed so hard.
I cheered and clapped and pumped my fists in the air!
@@blobdobbler2929 IT BROKE NEW GROOUUUNNNDDDD
I laughed at that harder than anything they've done up to this point. So clever.
We all know it was Mike...
I am still shocked that Mike knew the name Enrico Fermi. He doesn't remember what apartments are called. That's some Dan Vs. levels of disjointed knowledge.
Who made mount rushmore?
“My eyes are down here” is another entry into the museum of Mike’s absolute comedic genius.
My favourite ongoing RLM joke-edit is where one of them freezes whilst the rest keep talking
Donald Farmer wanted to make a live action High School of the Dead, but settled for Dorm of the Dead because the court order says he has to stay 500 yards away from schools.
He's making a Shark Exorcist 2, also he clearly edits his own IMDB page.
There are currently 117 likes for this comment. I liked it but took it away. 117 is the perfect amount of likes to a Donald Farmer burn.
oh damn HOTD is actually fun and thankfully stayed 2d
@@hacooray525 its fun till you get to the rape bus
Thats where i stopped
Shame the author died tho
Don't Panic looks perfectly schlocky. Making a whole plot point out of having to rescue a pair of pants is gold.
oh hey its fuggbees
Where the hell did they find cheap dinosaur pajamas from 30 odd years ago for the ending skit?!
@@maxbrandt6 Vinegar Syndrome released Don't Panic on blu ray, and also sold some dinosaur PJs like the ones in the movie! I haven't gotten to the end, but I'm thinking that's probably the case
gave me lost boys vibes tbh- obviously way lower quality, but it could have been a cult classic if they tried just a bit harder to iron out some of the wrinkles in the plot
@@thundercockjackson⁵⁵
“My eyes are down here” is one of the best one-liners I’ve heard in a long time
1:05:55 I love how Rich is so used to Mike's long Ghost Adventures tangents that he just railroads him mid sentence.
"Why do we have another film directed by that psychopath?!?" feels like it should be the tagline for Best Of The Worst, period
As a mexican currently living in Mexico City, i can confirm we wear children's pajamas until we turn 25 years old, once we do we hold a ceremony where we burn them as a rite of passage into adulthood, and then we are given the choice to now sleep in our underwear, naked or with a new set of pajamas to keep in touch with our inner child
The editing genius of freeze-framing Jay sneezing while Mike continues to deliver the plot synopsis in the same frame will go down in history as RLM comedy gold in my book 😂
You know Jay's the one destroying the room at the end because they could only find the dinosaur pajamas in child-size
This is the single greatest comment on this video.
They actually sell them in adult sizes on vinegar syndrome
But it would have been so much better to see one of the bigger cast members squeeze into those child-size pj’s and destroy the room
@@WatrDragn I disagree. It has to be the one by that Double Take guy who recognized his high school classmate and teacher who got fired.
He was also definitely going for this Orsen Wells award.
Here's hoping to see Jay finally admitting to killing those cats
You'll never get a confession
*Never*
WHY IS RICH FREAKIN OUT???
Holy shit dude 🤣
Goodnight sweet cats🤌
goodnight sweet cats r.i.p.
That sting at Cinemassacre in the end.
To think that this TV took a surprising amount of axe swings to fully die, but Jay's brand new expensive one only needed one tiny little cat bite to get completely busted.
As an Italian myself, I am ashamed that we made Primal rage but proud that we didn't make Shark Exorcist. At least there's that.
as a prawn, a want to curse you for what you have done to my people
@@Prawnsly I am so sorry mr. Prawn, on behalf of all the Italian people. Our wonderful cuisine doesn't justify all the Prawn people sufference.
Rambaldi made some amazing effects for some classics in the 80s and 70s
I mean, you guys do make the best cowboy movies
Thx for the 🍕
Mike, drunk out of his mind, remembering _correctly_ that "Hosen" means "pants" in German caught me off guard, I must say.
Thank god for Oktoberfest
Yeah, but he lost me when he used the wrong version of "no".
I mean, they do live in Wisconsin.
Yet he couldn't remember "Don't Panic". The human mind is truly some mysterious jogo.
I was kinda waiting for it to happen but it was amazing it actually happened.
That sprinkler shot (@ 37:19) is even funnier if you look at it again knowing what happens because you can see the fucking body already laying down! It feels like they didn't have any establishing shots prior to the doctor attacking the main girl so they just used one that was probably made for after the kill, maybe as a credit shot.
None of them noticed at the time of recording but I bet they got a kick out of it when editing it.
The irony of this being the only Halloween episode without carved pumpkins in it - whilst also being the first Halloween episode filmed after the Christmas Black Spine that included a "how to carve pumkins" instructional video, is quite something.
Danny Boyle really should receive more credit here for his “28 Days Later” soft reboot of “Primal Rage.”
Primal Rage was clearly an influence on 28 Days... amazing.
@@Mr_Jumbles The monkey only gets developement in the comics, that's why it is the inferior one
I was waiting for them to mention this but they never did. Unsubscribed.
I briefly thought that scene with the guy taking pictures of the rage monkey was just that begining scene from 28 Days Later edited in.
Rich cutting off Mike before he can launch into a rant about ghosts is an all time moment
Midway through the discussion I noticed the fire in the background, and thought "that's a pretty convincing fire they have going there...but it can't be real, because they wouldn't have a chimney, so how did they do it? Is it green screen? Are they filming somewhere other than the studio? Wait.....is it just a TV?"
Anyway, the Chekhov's TV fireplace PAID OFF AT THE END!
The dig at the end toward James Rolfe gave me a hearty chuckle.
James is dead, now there is only Bimmy.
@@theinfectedkitsune I misread that as Limmy and immediately asked my duck if Thatcher's dead
I can’t wait to see what kind of horrible thing Mike accuses Jay of doing this year
he accused him of being responsible for them watching dorm of the dead, for one
That's the kind of thing that destroys relationships beyond repair.
Goodnight sweet cats
What even is this comment referring to(!?)
@@thesurfacelevelgamer The fact that Jay kills cats.
That scene of pajama kid pulling out a gun and randomly shooting around the room has got the be one of the funniest things I've ever seen on BOTW.
It's a hell of a party trick!
They talked about him not using his condition (where he is forced to see through the killer's eyes) to outsmart the killer, but you know what? I think pulling out a gun and fucking shooting the guy is the smartest thing he could possibly do, just needed to do something about the aiming.
@@NiiRubra The damnedest thing is that the killer was clearly sneaking up on that very dinner scene. It would've been so obvious for the hero to wait until the killer could see him, then pull the gun and shoot him in second-person view. Oh well, horror movie characters have to make bad decisions I guess.
@@Stuurminator Yeah. Wouldn't need to _see_ him with his own eyes, if he knew where he would be.
the way mike says "ghost adventures" at 1:06:11 is the most milwaukee sounding i've heard him since surviving edged weapons
Just gotta say, I appreciate their stage design. No matter what they never cease to make feel like it's Halloween when watching these
Primal Rage is the strangest adaptation of a 90s arcade fighting game I've ever seen.
I was totally expecting it to be a shitty film adaptation of the game.
@@swirlingabyss I'd be totally down for that, be it with stop motion, shitty animatronics, people in costumes or crappy 90s/early 2000s CGI.
The rage monkey didn’t actually die when it got hit by the car. It woke up later and ran into the woods to recover, and slowly grew in size over the next couple hundred years, spreading the immortality virus to a few other monkeys and lizards along the way. The movie is a veeeerrry early prequel to the games.
Ah yes, the annual RLM-Halloween Episode, literally one of the highpoints of every fucking year
agreed
Apparently one of the actresses in Dorm of the Dead is a doctor now, so good for her.
39:23 to see Jay run like a horrifying goblin.
Me, an Italian: "My favourite CZcams channel released their Halloween special, i will watch it immediately!"
Jay: "WE DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH THOSE ITALIANS, THEY NEED TO STOP!"
Me: "Aw."
"My eyes are down here"...Mike single handedly makes my life better.
"it wasn't that funny" actually it had me laughing like rich
I couldn't take my eyes off her hair either. :-)
Best part of the whole episode. 😂
That joke slayed so hard
I legit "No way!"'d aloud at the Chekovs Sprinkler paying off. It seemed like such a bad movie thing to have a random transition shot, but it actually paid off haha.
The guy fell one story onto grass. Would he really be dead? I mean, he might spasm a bit rolling around on the dirt, but eventually he'd pick himself up and dust himself off.
Mike offering the cereal and proceeding to sprinkle it all over the room absolutely destroyed me with laughter
Please God release the uncut Bartles & Jaymes/apartment rant Mike went on
Release the Bartles & Jaymes cut!
I thought I was tripping there for a minute but found all my edibles intact. He really gave in to his primal rage.
@@antiloompa8338 bartles & james snyder cut
I'm craving a Bartles & Jaymes now. I haven't had one since me and my teenage friends snuck one in their parents basement. Now that I can try them legally I can see if they're actually good.
Mike is reveling in his Rememberberries... Vintage Beer & Wine Cooler commercials Love Must Be Appeased.... May there be a re-return of Bruno!!!🤣.... Less Filling, Tastes Great!😂🍻
Everybody knows that you have to call it Spirit Boxes because Habro has the copyright of Oija, the same way we call the toys Whoopie Cushions because Rich Evans has the rights of Fart bags.
This joke needs more likes. Nice!
Glad that they destroyed Dorm of the Dead, because both of my parents were extras in it and have expressed throughout my life that they "wanted to see how the movie turned out". My sincere hope after seeing who directed it is that they never, ever see it.
The sprinklers discussion at 37:20 is one of my all-time faves. "Sprinklers! You know why." is such a funny line and such an incredible way to point out such a weird transition.
"Remember 'Chocolate Rain'?" was not what I expected from Jay, but this episode was full of surprises
We've got the movie that will drain your balls
A surprise for sure, but a welcome one
XD
Ironically it was what was in my head at the time so hearing Jay say it out loud made me feel not so alone
That sneeze edit is the most RLM thing I've ever seen
My wife and I would genuinely love an episode about The Great Muppet Caper.
Re:View!
Jay sneezing himself into pause was the funniest edit I've ever seen
18:33 Jay being trapped in a sneeze cracked me up so much, I love it
My favorite part as well.
That was hilarious.
Is the next shot of Rich after that also looped?
@@Southlakesown Kinda looks like it but why xD
It was so good and unnecessary. Must have taken a lot of time and effort for a great joke a lot of people will miss. It’s a reason why I love these hack frauds
“My eyes are down here” and “El Pacino” brutally killed me
That freeze frame on Jay sneezing killed me xD 18:33
Honest to God, I had a cardboard Bartles & Jaymes cutout I took home from the supermarket where I bagged groceries in HS. Went with me to my college dorm room, then because my dad never got rid of anything it stayed in my parent's basement for decades....
Jesus Christ, the shade thrown at Cinemasssacre. We witnessed a murder on film.
How are you supposed to write your thoughts on a film down past 5:40? It's impossible!
When they used to live stream games they would mention that they don't like avgn not regularly but enough times for it to be well known
I went looking for comments that would confirm my suspicions. Thank you. I wasn't sure if that was a shot at Cinemassacre or not.
@@backlogbuddies There was one where they played the AVGN video game for about a minute, then turned it off.
@@KasumiKenshirou Yeah, I remember that. They didn't give the game a chance. Though they would get asked questions about him from chat.
I was certain Josh was about to comically snap the DVD in half.
Rich looked like he was really considering it for a second, but ultimately just decided to accept his fate
Did nobody really point out the similarity between Primal Rage and 28 days later?
Danny Boyle is just a hack frauuuuuuuuud
Hats off to Rich for TRYING to stop Mike from going on a "Ghost Adventure" rant
Fun fact: Jay cut his hand in the final scene of this episode, putting him in the great echelon of room thrashing scenes, together with Orson Welles, Tommy Wiseau and Zaat.
Didn't Leonardo DiCaprio cut his hand during that one scene in Django? Sadly he's not nearly as handsome as Jay.
@Colt Sassoon REMEMBER THE REVENANT?
@arran boon it took 12 years to watch
I love how Rich has no time for Mike's damn ghost shows.
As a Latin American I think I can explain Michael's dinosaur pajamas.
The US being founded by puritans had countless instances of censorship in its media ever since. Particularily in the 1930s the NLD led by Archbishop Cincinnati enacted a huge bunch of regulations on the movie industry, including many concerning the portrayal of teens.
By the 1960s many of these laws were lifted but the practice of having adults playing teenagers to avoid controversy became common, and specially so in the 1970s and 80s. But by this point the - not exactly more mature but at least crass and machismo ridden ''unhappy'' cold war era - Latin American audience, had been throughly expossed to the more risque European cinema filled to the brim with actual teenagers doing all sort of things in front of cammera that only adults could do on American films.
Thus whenever a movie made for Americans was done by a foreign country multiple film tropes that had to be applied to every film, kind of like a seal of quality of sorts, were established and the thought process went something like: _''OK, how can we sell this to Americans?''_ We did it by sheer cynicism and most of the time it worked fine and dandy but not always.
So even tho unavoidable, for us Latin American peoples, the American film trope of adults playing teenagers in movies wasn't really properly undestood and seemed even - if you can imagine - way more nonsensical and disconected from reality than it seems to be for Americans today looking back and seeing all of those 30 year olds playign 17 and 18 year olds.
To put it simple, all of the people in horror movies seemed way too flamoyantly infantile to us Latin Americans not to notice how off the whole thing was but we didn't know how to adapt it or what to make of it so we just rolled with it.
The issue with this Michael character in particular is that he is specifically written as a boy that's actually being bullied for being too infantile by these - to us - already way too infantile people around him. So I see two different explanations on what happened.
Either the Latin American people in charge of the costume department had to come up with a way to portay that on film and this is what they came up with, or it was the director himself who came up with this costume based on the same aforementioned flawed premise.
The reason behind this is that whoever concoted this goofy looking attire probably took inspiration from what was available at the time: IE Barret Oliver's portrayal in the eponimous DARYL, Louis Tripps first incarnation of Terry Chandler in The Gate, etc. which came out just a few years prior.
Naturally, the American crew must've instantly flipped their collective shits upon seeing Michael dressed as dinosaur pajamas lover birthday boy but they must've thought it was hilarious and abstained from questioning it to the point it became an iside joke to them and so the costume was kept all throughout the film.
Tldr
You could have made all of that up and I would never know
I often think that Jay chips in with the best zinger of the show, but “my eyes are down here” was inspired. Bravo, Mike. Bravo.
Hearing the name Donald Farmer instantly had me regress into Mike's "no no no no, no no no no no no nooooo, no no no no nooooo" from that one wheel of the worst episode.
_Youuu misunder-stoooood_
12:40 - After all the fuss Mike made over how much he loves Shark Exorcist and Vampire Assassin, he doesn't even remember them.
It's almost like, now hear me out, but it's almost like Mike's just a contrarian asshole who likes tormenting his friends by refusing to form any semblance of a consensus and reflexively picks the Worst of the Worst just to infuriate them.
Don't tell anyone though, he's really good at hiding it.
Booze
Doesn't Mike only care about Star Trek?
love seeing Rich instinctually bend Dorm of the Dead in order to break it but stopping himself before he goes full Legend of Gatorface
"Hoisted by his own petard" is the phrase and Maximilien Robespierre is the French guy. This has been yet another edition of "Understanding Mike Stoklasa." Brought to you by beer.
Donald Farmer's thing is a person's lack of agency over their own body.

2) Possession

"Don't Panic" - was famously inscribed in 'large, friendly letters' on the cover of the Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy (the book within the book, of the Douglas Adams classic) - a series of novels also featuring a protagonist wandering around in his pyjamas for the entirety of the storyline. Coincidence?? I demand a public inquiry
Oh shit more plagiarism!
@PlanetBongoSan. And didn’t that protagonist stop wearing pyjamas when he had sex with his girlfriend, Fennstreet, in “So Long and Thanks for All the Fish, the fourth book of the trilogy?
i'd simply passed it off as coincidence until you raised the point about the PJ's
@@alasdairwatson712 Fenchurch was her name, after Fenchurch Street railway station. But yes you've got yourself a point there
@@PlanetBongoSan Aaaaargh! I knew there was something wrong as soon as I saw what I had written. But I have read the book only once. Although I think she is mentioned briefly in the first book.
In "Don't Panic", there was a pay scale dispute involving the actress that played the girlfriend - she was only paid half as much as the rest of the cast since the pay rate was apportioned per eyebrow.
My head cannon is that they wanted Ritchie for the movie destruction at the end, but only Jay fit the pajamas.
