Movies, games, and the occasional editorial.
From A-Z list films, video games, and other overlooked goodness. - Zábava
Harold Ramis directed Year One. So John Landis’ biggest failure is still his son Max.
Rimshot.
Was gonna say Beverly Hills Cop 3 in terms of films, but fair enough. (BHC3 was still painful to sit through.)
That helicopter accident from The Twilight Zone movie.
Blues Brothers 2000
@@coffeelover239 I like and enjoy Beverly Hills Cop 3, I say Blues Brothers 2000 is worse
I can't believe hadn't heard of a horror comedy starting Joe Don Baker.
My grandfather went to highschool with him. Back when you knew everyone in your class. My grandpa handled all the reunion/homecoming stuff for his class, kept records on who had passes and kept updated contact info for everyone, who was going and whatnot.
Joe Don always kept in touch until my grandfathers death. They spoke a few times a year and my grandfather always thought highly of him, which from my perspective at least, really means something.
"In the name of the Lloyd!" Even if you don't watch "The Stupids," you owe it to yourself to watch the "Mr. Sender" clip from that movie, which features Christopher Lee.
Still quoting Saturday the 14th to this day, "That's like closing the barn door after the horses have eaten your children."
For me, that’s “Love at First Bite.”
@@CantankerousDave Richard Benjamin does his thing in both, and that means quotes.
We actually rented 'The Stupids' when I was a kid (mostly because my brother and I were fans of the books) and my whole family actually liked it! And the 'I'm My Own Grandpa' sequence was actually our favorite part! XD
I always get that song "I'm my own grandpa" stuck in my head all the time
Grew up listening to the Ray Stevens version. It sounds funny I know, but it really is so!
Sgt. Kabukiman N.Y.P.D. Is a great fun dumb movie, so silly yet creative
I think the majority of Troma films fit that description
For decades I was convinced I was the only person on Earth that actually enjoyed The Stupids.
Same here.
I enjoy it too!
In The Name of The Loyd!
We are not alone!
It’s impossible to make fun of it. 😏
I always think of when Homer tried to be a standup and just walked in to the room proclaiming "Hey, Stoopids!".
I still laugh uncontrollably when I see that episode...along with the phrase "Don't you hate pants?!?".
If you know, you know.
A lot of people might not like it, but 'Cabin Boy' with Chris Elliot is one of my favorite stupid movies
🤪 nothing like a floating talking cupcake that spits tobacco
Would you like to buy a monkey
@@Iam-still-noone he's gone down.......under the water
😱 these pipes r CLEAN 🤭
"I sure do hate them fancy lads."
I’d just like to mention how incredibly funny John Pinette was. I feel like he is such an underrated comedian. If anyone reading this has never seen any of his stand up routines, please give him a chance. He was a hilarious, original, and kind man who died way too young.
Agreed. John Pinette was genuinely funny. Not just his stand up, in interviews and just off the cuff he could be funny.
@@briangoldsmith8709 "Who fucked up the meat?!!"
Yeah he was a genius
Last year at my friend's house I discovered he had a copy of "The Stupids" I semi drunkingly demanded "PUT THIS ON IMMEDIATELY!"
It's still a hilarious movie.
Glad to see "Without Warning" here too.
"Embrace the stupid" what a beautiful statement. Smile and laugh when you can.
When i said "Embrace the stupid", my girlfriend hugged me for some reason! : )
"the trash company is stealing everyone's garbage" I laughed right out loud hearing that🤣
It takes very smart people to write something as dumb as The Stupids. I love it.
It's like Idiocracy, which is now considered to be prophetic, when at the time of its release many just called it dumb.
House II: The Second Story (1987) could also have been included in this list. It's completely crazy, goofy and fun.
That’s too smart a movie, though. The electrician/adventurer but is brilliant.
@@brianalice I like to think of it as 'babies first horror movie' (it was for me); very nostalgic, and entertaining in different ways for children and adults.
Its a crime that John Ratzenberg's character never got a spin off film.
Someone should've said, "Stop making cyber-monks happen, Rodman!"
Cyber monks are cool. Rodman isn't. Fair enough?
Cyber-monk? New subclass drop?
I remember Student Bodies on Comedy Central back in the early 90s. I grew up watching the sequel to Saturday the 14th and had no idea it was a INO sequel.
The Stupids is genuinely one of the funniest movies from its era.
This is a great list, especially Wacko and Student Bodies. It bothers me that so many people think no one parodied or satirized slasher movies before Scary Movie or Cabin in the Woods.
The "2 wheels, 4 wheels, 8 wheels" joke from The Stupids will live forever in my mind.
the note book at the start!
@phanhosfatannf8713 OMG I FORGOT THE NOTEBOOK!
Wacko looks scary enough just on the basis of Joe Don Baker's "Happy Little Lad Haircut" and Andrew Dice Clay's staircase musical number.
I dunno why, but when you said Robert Downy Jr dropped out.... I was imagining Rodney Dangerfield
A stupid movie I remember was Mom and dad save the world
I asked my mom to rent this vhs she asked who’s in it I said Tom Arnold she said “sounds pretty stupid” 😂
2:52 Nice to see that Mystery Men outperformed something. Out performing Simon Sez though doesn't seem to be difficult though.
Based on his reaction to MST3K, you’d think Joe Don Baker didn’t have much self awareness. Then you see his character in _Wacko._
@@mjjoe76 made by the same guy who directed him in Final Justice and Joysticks.
You talking about Mitchell?
"Who's the puffy guy who's a big blurry sex machine? *Mitchell* "
@@noahlee9860Don't forget Angels Revenge.
@@noahlee9860go ahead on then.
10:18 John Landis didn't direct Year One, the late Harold Ramis did
I love The Stupids, the zoom in on the bush gag makes me laugh every time.
I remember seeing some parts of "The Stupids" when I was younger. It was one of those movies that Comedy Central liked to air.
My favorite aspect from The Stupids is how Stanley confronts who he thinks is the villain stealing the trash and he's this sweet Mr Rogers-esque TV host.
I can't help but smile when he gives his big speech Charles Sender who thinks he's talking about directions.
I remember catching Wacko on tv years ago, and had no idea what it was. The same thing happened with Student Bodies. It was a weird time for movies. I rented Saturday the 14th from the video store back in the day, not knowing it was a comedy when I picked it out.
I would argue John Landis' worst production is Max.
Every criticism for Simon Sez could be applied to most 90s movies. I've noticed that every decade has its own unique style in films. The 90s seem to add comical humour to everything. Even sequels to more darker serious 80s horror flicks.
And as far as enjoyable dumb movies go my personal favourite is Revenge of the killer tomatoes. I watched it recently for the first time in 30 years and didn't realise it had John Astin and George Clooney in it. And it's even more freaking hilarious than I remembered.
I can't explain why, but Simon Sez saw a lot of rental activity on VHS. I worked in a video store at the time and it stayed out for a while after it was released.
I remember when The Stupids came out in the theaters, but I never saw it. I did see Carpool, though. I vaguely remember thinking it was okay, but I haven't seen it again since. It was weird how Tom Arnold scored the lead role in three movies around the same time with Carpool, The Stupids and Big Bully (okay, more of a co-lead in that one).
The only stupid movie with a killer lawnmower worth watching is “Frankenhooker”
Dead Alive's ending????... no really it entertained me... honestly, because of Gunner Hanson
Blades.
Wacko one of my fav all times! Scene with interview in foreground while killer runs in background...
I remember when they shoehorned Rodman into the syndicated TV show "Soldier of Fortune Inc." in the late 90s. He was basically Poochie.
9:15 - Hey, it's Matt Keeslar, AKA The Middleman! Now there's a little-known show with a hardcore fan base...
Geez, The Middleman. I keep thinking I imagined that show.
@@leesimmons5453Gleefully low-budget, and so densely packed with pop culture references that every episode had a lengthy rundown on The Middleblog.
Sorry, doesn't matter how bad The Stupids is, nothing can top how badly Landis' Twilight Zone film went.
Horsehead Bookends! Horsehead Bookends!
Two mounts ago my goal is to watch every 80's horror movie I can find. Without warning is one I never heard of. Thank you for that. I watched Wacko. I liked it.
also plenty of Italian horrors made at the time, as well as a serious handful of Belgian ones aimed for the Us audience.
This is pretty much goal as well. Every time I hear of a new one I put it on the list.
Cecil, great shout out for the movie "Without Warning"...Aliens with bio weapons (living shurikens, that chomp you to death) and Jack Palance! Contains everything you need for 70s sci fi horror movie. See it.
Also, Kevin Peter Hall, as the alien.
Wacko is fine but surprised its rated PG at times.
Smion Sez is ok ive seen worse but i like double team better
Student bodies was good to
Saturday the 14th was good to
The stupids love this movie best one on this list
10:24 i thought Harlod ramiss directed this
@randonmreviews4278, well, PG 13 didn't exist till 1984, & prior to then, there were movies like Wacko, that had more edgy, darker material in them, that would still be rated PG.
Student Bodies good lord so freaking good. Always enjoyable.
I saw “the stupids “ in theaters and still occasionally sing “I’m my own grandpa”
Student Bodies! Underrated, loved that flick. The killer stopping gum.
Paper clip! Heh heh heh! Paper clip!
Next go round you should have Rhinestone with Sylvester Stallone and Dolly Parton. One of my all time favorite go to movies if I'm having a bad day
DRINKENSTEIN!
Thank you!!! Youve unlocked a memory from deep in my brain. I remember growing up seeing a movie with "horse head bookends" which was from Student Bodies. I believe it was a reoccurring gag but I cannot remember
Student Bodies has the best R-rated scene in any movie ever. Change my mind.
I loved Student Bodies. My favorite line in the movie was.. "Dilbert can drink punch, Dilbert help make Punch, Dilbert sometimes pees red."
Saturday the 14th was a movie I grew up watching and loved.. there's some great lines in it too. The overactive in the movie is a prime reason to watch it.
The Stupids is great - I'm my own grandpa (cover of a Ray Steven's song) is one of the highlights in the movie. The little boy is a highlight for the movie.
The other two movies, I haven't seen.
I watched the Stupids when I was a kid and thought it was hilarious. The scene where he needs to go fast so he looks at a bike, says 2 wheels, the car, 4 wheels, then settles on skates with 8 wheels, since that would be the fastest choice always stuck with me as a joke. The cat however shocked me to remember, I think my brain tried to erase that memory.
*breathing heavily* "I hope I don't die first."
I read one of the The Stupids books and got excited to see the movie when I was in grade school. 😂
I actually just met Tom Arnold this past weekend and he was one of the sweetest celebrities I've met and Idk why I wasn't expecting that but he was very cool.
11:18 I think Battlefield Earth is funny because of how stupid it is. Sometimes, I think it's funnier when something is made with the initial plan of being serious, but in reality, is an un-intentionally funny train wreck. The Star Wars Holiday Special is another example. Seen it six times, and it's far funnier than most "comedies" today.
You should have added Mom and Dad Save the World. Ok, I know having Jeffrey Jones in it makes it unpleasant, but it’s still a wildly dumb movie written by the same guys who wrote the Bill and Ted movies. It’s certainly worth watching.
My favorite Stupids gag is ‘Manbush - Half man. Half bush.’
Emma Wiklund/Sjöberg from Taxi 2 was in Simon Sez? Time to watch it then.
@3:00 Mystery Men deserved better.
yes, it should.
Way ahead of its time.
The Shoveller's speech is more about heroism than most superhero movies.
OMG Cecil, you unlocked a repressed memory! I completely forgot that I had ever seen Simon Sez until today! I'm not sure whether to thank you or curse you.
Either way you are welcome :)
I didn't knew of the spoof Wacko. I guess I was too used to parodies for Scream and The Ring. But a spoof for John Carpenter's Halloween and mostly 70s films? Damn!
Also, a movie called "The Stupids"? Is almost as surprising as finding the movie title "Don't F*ck in the woods", you just simply don't expect a movie with a title like that.
Not gonna lie I saw The Stupids once and really enjoyed it! Also caught some of Saturday the 14th as well. And I agree with what you said as the video ended for that's what I've said to many friends whenever the topic of bad movies comes up
Christopher Lee as Sender was perfect.
HORSE-HEAD BOOKENDS!!!!
In all seriousness though, this is a very solid list of really dumb, but enjoyable films. Couple of more good ones of note that share the same Simon Sez DNA are Extreme Ops and Knock Off. Extreme Ops was one of the last tax shelter action movies that came out in the early 00’s and it’s actually fairly decent. Knock Off is a really good cheesy Van Damme flick that I actually enjoy more than Double Team, even though they both have the same director in Tsui Hark.
The Stupids is absolutely hilarious.
These films are never short of lovely ladies, which really helps ease the pain a bit
Thanks again Cecil for some more solid recommendations.
I believe the writers of "Predator" saw "Without Warning" and thought, can you imagine this same movie with Jean Claude Van Damme?
4:17 I haven't seen that film since I was a kid Cecil🤣🤣🤣
Another awesome installment Cecil👍👍
Thank you!
so T¿I whould say I havent seen The Stupids until my brain jumped with the song "I'm my own grandpa".... I was very young but thats the only thing I can remember of the movie
10:18 - 10:26
Technically Harold Ramis directed Year One, though if we’re referring to a really bad Landis movie, maybe Blues Brothers 2000?
Blues Brothers 2000 just came far too late for its own good. (Not to mention everyone who passed between that and the original film.) Beverly Hills Cop 3 on the other hand...painful.
I've never heard of wacko, now I'm glad I have thanks whatever the real name of the guy who runs this channel is! I'm stoned leave me alone HAPPY FOURTH!!!!! MURICA
"Say what you want -- that's a well-made shoe!"
Another “Stupid Movie” related to “Animal House” is the 2002 movie “Sorority Boys” (it features cameos from Mark Metcalf, Stephen Furst, John Venron, and James Daughton). “Sorority Boys” has a stupid premise hilariously executed by a script that has no business being as smart as it is. “Sorority Boys” is joyously funny and underrated!
Nah, John Landis worst movie is Blues Brothers 2000s.
In the Name of the Lloyd!! Love the Stupids, but haven't thought about it in ages - I'll have to check out again soon!
“Wacko” is an unofficial sequel to “Mitchell”. Think about it, it is…
My my my my god no!!
What do you mean there's no ice?! You mean I have to drink this coffee hot?!
Man oh man, Saturday the 14th takes me back, hahaha.
WACKO! The lawnmower killer! I saw this in my early teen years and absolutely loved it!
I caught The Stupids here on YT early this year. Yes, some of it doesn't, but the scene in the museum plus "I'm My Own Grandpa" make for a must-see flick. Saturday the 14th isn't bad either, plus you've got Benjamin & Prentiss!
One of my favorite stupid movies is Mom and Dad Save the World. I feel like I'm the only human on Earth who defends that movie.
I will never stop finding two scenes in that film hilarious: the Light Grenade and Muttonchops.
@@brianalice "Pick... me... up. Hm."

What did John Landis have to do with YEAR ONE????? also, Evil Alien Conquerors for the next one of these, and Rock n Roll High School Forever for the next forgotten sequels!!!!
Evil Alien Conquerors are evil because of their plan!!!
Another excellent video!!!!
The Stupids is an undeniable masterpiece!!!!
How Tom Arnold got to star in so many movies of the mid 90s ? If you take Big Bully Carpool The Stupids and McHale's Navy their combined box office doesn't reach 10M dollars One movie under 10M would be considered a flop 🙄
Was it Student Bodies where they break the 4th wall by someone using the boom mic as a swing to get away?
"There's Nothing Out There"
Great Midnight Movie, has some "Scream" elements to it.
No, that's "There's Something Out There!"
@@tskmaster3837 That's right! Classic...thank you!
Like many others have said, I watched Saturday the 14th a hundred times when I was a kid in the 80's.
I've been a fan of The Stupids for a long time, glad to see it featured and praised. Also, it features Landis' trademark of casting known directors in bizarre cameos, so film is full of serious arthouse staples: David Cronenberg, Costa-Gavras, Norman Jewison, Atom Egoyan, Robert Wise, Gillo Pontecorvo, Gurinder Chadha and Mick Garris are all in this.
Glad to see wacko and Student Bodies get a mention. I grew up watching those movies.
Thanks for showcasing these
I loved the stupids when I was a kid. I memorized the whole I’m my own grandpa song because of it.
I remember watching The Stupids back in the day on VHS and I loved it. At the time I was the target viewer. The song I'm my own grandpa sticks with me even today. Can't say the same about most newer films.
Student Bodies is an amazing film. Love the fact that you covered it. I still quote it to this day. Unfortunately, no one knows what I am saying when I do.
I picked up Wacko at Dollar Tree but haven't watched it yet.
Well hurry up 😂
And the band at the dance? Why didn't they get a metric sh*t-ton of work, just from the songs that were used in the film? Extremely slick and very well produced, and even now, I can still hear them playing as a best-of mash-up over the closing credits (and trust me when I say that that was a long time ago!).
How dare you! Going through the cast of Wacko and you don’t mention the amazing Elizabeth “EG” Daily!
Wow!! Had no idea that the Stupids was a book series! Now, i've learned something.
Student bodys is a chefs kiss of spoofs
I actually saw Saturday the 14th in the cinema back in the day, lol. Watched it on cable too, even had it on tape. Good times.
You should check out a pre fame Tobey Maguire in revenge of the red baron, where he fights an evil killer toy plane 😂😂🎉
The Stupids is just that: stupid but I have a lot of fun with it
Movies can be bad that it's bad. But you can also have guilty pleasure films that are so bad, it's stupid good! And there's nothing wrong with that!
