Lisa loves you too, as a person, as a human bean.
Daniel Treshner THANK YOU FOR MAKIKG ME REALIZE HE SAYS THAT AFTER A YEAR OF LOVING THIS FILM
Daniel Treshner Yess a human bean XD
To be fair, I think Denny actually does count as "a human bean".
Tommy Wiseau is actually the BFG
That would explain why he's so reluctant to say where he's actually from
The drug dealer with the gun is clearly the best actor here...
"Actor."
"Comedian"? Or is it a joke? English isn't my first language.
Negative Minded It's a joke. He put the title of "actor" in quotes as if to question its legitimacy. As in, his acting was so bad that he doesn't deserved to be called such. He wasn't trying to correct you.
What was your first language?
Ok, that's what I was thinking. I'm French, but I love Shakespeare's language!
Thx for the reply.
Negative Minded Vous parlez français? C'est super-cool! I've taken three French classes over here in the USA, so I can write sentences and understand key words, but I'm nowhere near as good in it as you are in English. It's been a while, so my grammar above was probably terrible.
Fun fact: when this movie was advertised on billboards, many people thought it was gonna be a horror movie, given Wiseau looked like a stoned-out Jack Nicholson wearing a Charles Lee Ray wig, along with the film's tagline, "Can you really trust anyone?"
It also tricked me when I first learned of this movie
Fun fact: the nostalgia critic was terrible back in 2015
Yeah, this movie even got its own poster wrong.
@@FriendlyCroock Personally I think he's gone down hill ever since 2016. It feels like he's run out of ideas, and every year it feels like the reviews have more and more political views and jokes thrown in and that's not what I'm here for.
@@Wildnose1337
Not true. He was a lot more political back in 2014 2015.
And I can't stand american politics and your backwater political views.
The bit where he says 2003 isn’t nostalgic enough made me feel so old
now he’s reviewing the Mario movie which came out 3 months ago
@@garfieldfan925
Well that actually deals with popular culture from the 80s so it counts.
@@Killgore-ip2yq It doesn’t, the movie was 3 months old when he made the review. The games weren’t the main point of the review.
@@garfieldfan925 I remember that he said that he would review movies regardless of the year they came out.
It was at a time when he stopped doing reviews due to lack of motivation.
@@sad520boy ahh
This review is tearing me apa... oh hi, Critic, how's your sex life?
amazing
Ha! that's a good one
Hahahaha, what a story, Boni!
+Emile Noble 4 Oh can he? Thank you!
+Emile Noble 4 Oh gee, can we eat 'ha'? I've never had 'ha' before! Is there a, 'ha' restaurant somewhere around here?
I still can't believe that Tommy Wiseau was convinced he was making a serious drama when he made this and only started saying it was supposed to be a comedy to cover his ass when people started laughing at how bad the film was.
redloiyu654jay Yeah I am.
My God. I see you on every video I go to.
Oh I meant him XD sorry
Really? when did he start calling it a comedy? In a confusing interview with Doug later "Shut up and talk", he's still calling it art, and that was at least a couple of years after this review premiered.
It was literally his life's dream, he is narcissistic to a hyperactive degree. He did everything in his power during the production of this film to be the center of attention constantly.
Why is the drug dealer the best actor in the movie?
Which is saying a lot as he isn't an actor. To my understanding, Hlhe's a motivational speaker and a friend of Greg Sestero, who played Mark.
Because except for the weird Belgian Dude, everybody else got their start acting in porn. (kidding, I swear)
Because he is not acting
Because the dude who plays him actually studied method acting and stayed in character the entire time he was on set.
He was genuinely annoyed/angry with Wiseau, can't remember why, but I think that helped his performance. Other than that, he is still the only person doing any acting in this movie.
*"That is the WORST piece of acting that has ever been put on film"*
Neil Breen's "I can't believe you committed Suicide": *Hold my Old Laptops*
In deadpan voice: "I can't believe there's someone whose acting is worse. How could anyone's acting be worse..."
No,no,no that can't be a line an actual line in a movie
@@jefftenormen666 THAT IS AN ACTUAL, REAL LINE IN A MOVIE! I SHIT YOU NOT!
@@solaris4022 omfg🤣🤣🤣
@@jefftenormen666 It's AMAZINGLY bad you can find it on youtube
I wonder if Denny was originally written to be a dog but then changed to be a human character (kinda) just in order to work the drug subplot in there.
Denny being Johnny and Lisa's dog is the only sensible explanation as to why he loyally follows them upstairs when they are about to make out.
Oh, hai doggy.
Shit dude, I think you're on to something
thats a legit good theory
ZacabebOTG that would make more sense in a movie that has none to begin with. why is this stupid kid in the movie? Where are his parents? Why does he constantly come over to Johnny's house, and why does he keep hitting on a woman who's older than him?
+K-C Rhoder The Drag Queen As much as criticism is important here....
When it comes to The Room, al criticism becomes absolutely pointless.
ZacabebOTG he also takes drugs
It's weird how jacked Tommy wiseau is. I can't help but laugh at the thought of him at a gym.
"I do one more rep now. HUUUUHHHHHH!"
Edit: wow, I didn't expect this many likes. Thanks y'all!
o hai protein powder
If I heard him at a gym I would be straight dead.
I am BUHLOCKAY now this is burned into my mind. Why have you done this to me
I am BUHLOCKAY he'd probably wear a suit working out to
You need to read the Disaster Artist, lol.
Funny thing about the flower shop scene. They only had a short time to film in that flower shop, so that joke about the short time is very accurate. The “hi doggy” part was improved.
I think you mean improvised, there's not a lot of "improving" in this movie
You mean the “Hai Doggy!” part.
i'll be honest. nostalgia critic's review of the room was my first exposure to this train wreck of a masterpiece.
Mine, too. Way back at Fanime in 2010.
Mine was the Disaster Artist. It starred James and Dave Franco as Tommy and Mark respectively while they were making the movie.
Same. I’ve been meaning to watch Disaster Artist but I just haven’t gotten around to it yet.
NC was a part of my first exposure to the room. He was in PhantomStrider's Top 10 Worst Movies of All Time
This review was my first exposure to The Room too.
Everyone’s acting was fantastic in that they didn’t laugh every time Tommy talked to them XD
He actually fired the cast 3 times. I bet some of them keel over laughing
The true heroes
Not until he said cut. 😂
Go Time Now because Tommy wisseau told him it was real
If you look at Mark right after Tommy says he is an expert, in the roof scene, you can see Mark turn to laughter, but it is immediately cut off in the next clip where Mark responds "No, definitely not an expert."
The fact that Tommy Wiseau tried to have this taken down and Greg Sestoro convinced him not to is legendary.
tommy tried to rake this review down?
Actually, the company that distributes the movie tried to take it down, but Tommy Wiseau really liked it.
@@kemosonicfan123lbp What did they try to take down? The movie or the video?
@_ Teller _ You have crippling idiocy
@@kemosonicfan123lbp Yes, "John from theroommovie.com" wanted to take it down - only problem is he doesn't exist and the person behind it is actually, surprise, surprise, Tommy Wiseau.
No joke, me and my friends were given a choice between watching "The Room" and Shamaylans "The Last Airbender" movie. And we unanimosly voted watch The Room with no one voting the latter!!
The Room is astoundingly bad, the shamaylan-airbender is just boringly bad.
@@Fluffkitscripts The Room was Wiseaus story, one of the reasons it's unique. Shamaylan was disrespectful to the Avatar world and it's creators Mike and Bryan, thus making it worse than the Room.
That makes sense. The Room is entertaining, the Last Airbender would just make everyone angry. :/
Great story. Thanks for sharing.
The Room is entertainingly bad. Last Airbender is just plain bad.
“She ended up at a Hospital on Guerrero Street.”
“Haha.”
“That’s not funny, you sick fuck.”
Lol, one of my favorite NC lines. This is still my favorite NC video even in 2024 :)
And even the crew tried telling Tommy it wasn't a funny situation and to be more serious. But for some reason, he kept laughing. Even when Greg mentioned Guerrero street in his story about the girl who was beaten up.
@@wolfgangamadeusmozart1293I guess Tommy has a big issue with cheating.
@@flyingdutchman2442I guess Tommy has a good sense of humor
To be fair everyone things it’s funny when the genders are flipped.
There needs to be a movie with Tommy Wiseau, M Night Shahimalayas, and Nick Cage. It shall be the most glorious movie ever made.
Tyler Brown You madman! Don't you know that the world cannot handle that kind of combination?!
Funny thing is, is that Shalmalayan directed a couple of good movies, and once upon a time, Cage was a highly respected actor.
Tommy was in Samurai Cop 2, good enough!
There's going to be a movie about the making of this film
Tyler Brown don't forget Uwe Boll!
"Don't touch me, mutheer fukeer, get out.". Amazing writing; just beautiful.
It's not over everyone's betrayed me I fed up with this whirl.
Happy Industries, Better Than Edgar Wright, Orson Welles, and Robert Towne
Angel- I Love Movies Better than Aaron Sorkin, Tarantino himself!
'I fed up with dis worrolrd!'
It's the way he says it that gives it life.
I'm a Korean who have never left my country, so I'm far beneath Wiseau in English, but I'm confident that I could have done a much better job if I had acted the lines "Hey babe, I've something for you," "The bank saves money, and they're using me, and I'm the fool." and the like.
Fun fact: there is no hospital in Guerrero street. The reason Greg said that was because Tommy kept laughing everytime Greg would say the girl got beaten up and ended up in a hospital. Greg knew Tommy had a condo in Guerrero street and he knew that he didn't want any of the crew to know that. So Greg would say "One of them found out about it, beat her up so bad, she ended up in a hospital in Guerrero street" to get his attention and get him to take it seriously. But Tommy still laughed it off but confronted Greg about it after the take.
“That girl got beat up”
“Hahahahahahahahaha”
I found that out the hard way. I visited San Francisco from MI and I made sure to walk down all of Guerrero street and not one hospital. Long ass walk too. Nice fact too.
Why the hell would Johnny laugh at that to begin with? That's pretty fucking messed up.
Is he supposed to just go upstairs and join them?
Uhhhhhhhh......
"Dennie, don't you have something else to do?"
"I just like to watch you guys."
UHHHHHHHHHHHH........
LOL. that shit was hilarious
This movie Wiseau bad it's funny.
Godammit...
BOOOOOOO!
At Lisa sequel wasn't made
Lmao!! Great job on the puns you two :P
Your puns left a Mark on me.
Well, it's 2020 & the Room is officially nostalgic. What part of 2020 does the seahorse uprising begin?
I think he somehow confused seahorses with COVID-19.
No coved makes the seahorses stronger
probably be the best part of the year
@@perryperez You're really going for the lowest hanging fruit here
Well, it's May of 2022 and hasn't happened yet, but I hope it does.
Ironically, not only is the Room nostalgic now, but this review itself is as well
Especially this year now that The Room is turning 20 soon
The room is infamous for having comedic bad drama. Bad drama makes good comedy, but bad comedy is worthless.
Your point?
this is why people like the room. it's drama is so bad that its hilarious.
+cjwalkerist luke Bad comedy can make good cringe comedy. Like Micheal Scott's jokes in the office.
That's true.
Anyway, how's your sex life?
Why do I feel like Tommy Wiseau actually dated a woman named Lisa once, it didn't work out, he got really bitter about it, and then made this ridiculous tantrum of a movie where he completely misrepresents every detail to make himself look good and make everyone else look awful?
I wouldn't doubt it
Living Myth bingo!
I think this is what happened, too.
"I FEDD UUP WIT DIS WORL!' pfft I had a bitter break-up a few months, but you don't see me making a movie about it. *kicks notepad under the bed* You saw nothing.
You're tearing me apart, jayblade200- oh hi, Mark.
To quote IMDB, "When Kyle Vogt (Peter) tried to mention that legally Greg Sestero could not be filmed until they signed a contract, Tommy Wiseau replied 'I hire you as actor, smart guy. Act!'"
That…makes way too much sense
23:15 Fun fact: The cast and crew laughed after this line and Wiseau himself got out of the bathroom and demanded to know what so funny about it. That reason for why he seemingly can't understand his own language. XD
He is polish he doesn’t know about US
I thought he was French?
@@Highfive3395 Ah yes. Polish people don't know about US.
@@LaineMann I am French I can assure you that NO 😂
"You're my favorite customer. That's why I don't even recognize you most of the time."
I wouldn’t wanna see the other customers if that’s the case
What if that was actually some kind of weird humor and tommy wrote it with that in mind ?🤔
Well he gave a $2 tip he’s basically Jesus
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Theory: Lisa is trapped in a time loop. That's why she and her mother keep talking about the same thing over and over.
Yuki_100 So that's where the Ancient One found the Time stone
Yuki_100 makes sense
That actually makes sense
Everyone's in a time loop in this movie, forced to throw footballs, have awkward dialogue and lame sex for all eternity
Hello meme fox weaboos.
The only part of his performance Tommy got right was when he died. I mean think about it, he didn't move a muscle.
Intiminating a corpse... Well he did a better job than some guy pretending to be unconscious in MrBean...
Tommy Wiseau is a vampire.
@@neo-didact9285 at this point nothing would surprise me about Tommy anymore. I mean, we still don't know where he's from.
“What, in all probability, could go wrong?” is such a good line, even after all these years it still cracks me up
Apparently this was supposed to end with Wiseau turning into a vampire and flies away or something.
*cringes*
Only to be changed when Tommy realized he couldn't possibly get his car to fly around San Francisco.
KAWA DIO DA!
"Ah don’t sparkle haa."
sparkle sparkle sparkle!
Fun fact: this is the highest rated episode of Critic on IMDB
Some of Dong's absolute best material.. I think hardly no one will argue against that..
Kenrick Eason “Dong’s” Best typo ever made
The sea horses rule the world joke is by far the most random thing that doug has ever done, and that's also the reason why this episode is the best.
@@kenrickeason who's Dong? 😉
Hahahaa thas gud
(Like tommy)
If it weren't for Doug's review, I don't think many of us would have ever heard of this movie, and I'm glad he did bring it to light. This review probably gave Wiseau a signal boost unlike anything before, and it drove me to buy a copy. To call it "so bad, it's good" is such an understatement, it truly is a strange masterpiece in it's own league.
"YOU'RE NOT MY FUCKING MOTHER!!!" 13:26
Gets me EVERYTIME!!! I've watched this movie at least 20 million times in 20 years, and it has never gotten old!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
5 years later and we still haven't seen Doug Walker's "The Room".
THE REQUESTS WILL KEEP COMING!!!!!
He'll review this review of The Room before he reviews his own The Room.
Cool story bro
+Prince Zuko The Awesoming DVD is going to include reviews on his old movies, probably including The Room
Excellent. I actually want to see them lol.
Is it possible that Mark has some sort of sex amnesia?
Wait, is that a real condition?
Well no but that would hardly be the least realistic part of the movie.
Well, at least he finally picked up on it at the end.
Maybe they filmed several different versions of their first hookup and later decided to put them all in the movie as separate scenes.
BulletTooth504 I wouldnt be suprised if they did,seems like they just threw a bunch of first takes into a Room and called it a movie.
The tuxedo scene explained. Tommy initially wanted a wedding to actually happen. The scene was shot. But then they changed the script. So why throw away a good footage?
"I've gotten emails, and emails..."
You KNOW this episode is old when that's just a matter-of-fact thing.
I'm always amazed at the great acting we get from the drug dealer. Stellar performance.
I also enjoyed the way he acts. What a refined and polished gentleman he is.
Chris R. - the best acted character in this whole movie. He's the "Johnny Depp" of The Room.
He's an OK actor. It's kind of like the average looking girl in high school that hangs out with all ugly people and she ends up looking better side by side
For real. I bet he didn't know just how bad this movie would be, and he was so proud of getting a small role in what he thought would be a good movie, so he acted his little heart out. God speed, sir.
+fred fuchs Yeah, the guy who played the drug dealer is now a sales director, seriously look it up.
The drug dealer was the only actually GOOD performance in this entire movie!
That is because he probably was a real Drug dealer who funded the movie and he was probably there to get his money back. The camera happened to be on during all that, so they put it in the movie.
Yeah, he was just there to give Tommy some more Meth when he told him to get in front of the camera.
What about the dog. I loved the dog
Yeah, that was pretty big Oscar Winner there, too.
He wasn't even an actor. According to the book "The Disaster Artist" the actor for Chris-R was an Armenian Olympic Bobsledder.
"she loves you as a person, as a human bean"
The fact Tommy insisted on the ass shot because he thought it'd make the movie sell better
That's some confidence right there.
@@ARedMagicMarker I know, right? Greg Sestero talks about it in his book "The Disaster Artist".
To be a fly on the wall when *that* conversation happened...
@@shadejakva9367 "You know, Mahk's actor... I've been following a strict regimen of 100 squats a day, green drink, green leaves, and green tea for abowt one blue moon. NOT thee blood moon, thee blue moon. There is difference!

Once I almost got sent to the principals office by saying IM FEID AP WIT DIS WORL when I failed my math test

Leokav4est leafyisqueer
Johnny pulling the trigger on the gun is us after this movie
"Oh hi johnny"
"Oh hi mark"
"Oh hi lisa"
"Oh hi denny"
"OH HI GUN"
you forgot "Oh hi doggy"
It's the most important one!
darkikoolol perfectly summed up...
Oh hi darkikoolol.
Oh hi KarateGirl
Oh hi comment
22:48 - Those sound effects of cats wrestling in an alley made me shit bricks.
"This is Denny, we dont know much about him but after a few scenes you'll wish it stayed that way."
23:13
"You can come out now, Johnny."
"In a few minutes, B*tch." That makes me laugh every time!
It's like he's channeling his inner Stewie.
A stewie with no emotion.
Actually, when they were filming this scene, many of the people who on set laughed when Wiseau said the line. Wiseau stopped the shooting and demands why they were laughing.
1337Wolfb0i I actually thought that was the only good line in the movie from him lol
The "Ohai mark" is undoubtedly the high mark of the movie.
Ho Chi Mints Oh high mark?
I see what you did there
Ho Chi Mints Your comment deserves more popularity.
Ho Chi Mints
I see what you did there. Lol.
My name is Mark. One friend of mine Saw the movie and now he ALWAYS Say to me "hi Mark, you're my favorite costumer" every time i see her.
Ten years on, I'm glad people are still watching and commenting on this. Funny stuff.
“I miss you~!”
“I just saw you, what are you talking about?”
12:30
Fact: the reason he was so angry was because Tommy had been getting on his nerves, so he put that energy into his performance.
Can't even count how many times I've watched this episode. It must be the best review NC ever did.
+Azariachan High-five, bro.
me 2
I have watched this review so much its still funny as fuck!! I still laugh my ass off each time I watch this episode!! Classic Comedy at its best!!
+Kenrick Eason my favourite moment: when tommy asks mark about his sexlife^^ when NC spews the water in total shock^^ always losing it at that moment! ^^
koppsr Its alot of scenes to choose from but the one that had me crying the most when Tommy says You're tearing me apart Lisa and N.C says oh my God with both hands over his face!! This Review is Damn near a masterpiece of A Comedian's comedic genius! No wonder it got a 9.5 rating out of 10 on Imb..
Hey... critic? Yeah, Turns out it wasn’t seahorses. He’s trying to keep you inside because of the viral pandemic that’s apparently no one’s goddamn responsibility.
That's how the seahorses rise
I for one welcome our new seahorse overlords.
A tour de force unparalleled in cinematic history. Tommy flows in his own dimension. Truly life changing.
Tommy Wiseau's rant about not hitting Lisa apparently took three hours to get to THAT level...
Homura Akemi 3 hours and 32 takes.
Homura Akemi actually it's not true because even though it's mentioned in the book : ' the disaster artist ' tommy wiseau himself said in an interview it wasn't true
+Lyna Ckhilou Why are you trusting Wiseau? He said this movie was a dark comedy instead of a failed romantic drama.
encycl07pedia well I guess you're right no one knows for sure what actually happened behind the scenes but I find it hard to believe it took him 32 takes to perfect that amazing well acted scene
Yeah, sure... Don't believe it. Had to be 70 takes *at* *least*
I love how every time Lisa tries to seduce Mark, he always acts like it’s the first time.
Right? He’s so ridiculously oblivious
Maybe in original script there was supposed to be only one such scene and they recorded different versions of it, but then decided to use all of them in a movie without any editing or re-shooting. Actually, plenty of scenes look exactly like that - different takes of the same scene, all combined and mushed together.
"You'll never have me." -Mark
He has no idea what the fuck is going on.
@@cw3le I actually never thought of that, that's probably accurate. Maybe not, though, cause the clothes are different, but it's possible.
This review still makes me laugh. The flower scene specifically just cracks me up.
So, I finally got around to watching The Room after years of hearing about it since it became a meme... and I am truly flabbergasted and was not disappointed.
I’ve learned that The Room is a very important piece of cinematic history. As Critic put it, this is a movie you definitely need to see; but not just to “believe it,” but because the memes and clips do not do the movie justice. Nothing but the movie itself can ever capture the essence of what this movie is. It is a film to be cherished. Remarkably so.
Anything and everything that gives birth to a meme is sacred and must be protected and preserved by any means necessary.
I DID NAAAAAAAHT
Ohhai Mark
- Best (worst) line in history of film
Even the subtitles said NAAAAHT 😂
YOUR TEARING APART LISA!!!!!
YOUR TEARING ME APART LISA!!!!!
Crimson Scythe it’s truly awful eh... But kinda Hillarious!!
Best meme
14:39 R.I.P the water bottle. He was the best actor in the whole movie :(
I mean we believed it was a water bottle at least.
I thought that the dog was the best actor.
T McK come on dude this is just ridiculous
The football was clearly superior in terms of acting
T McK He died as he lived
he will be missed
I’m so happy to be introduced to this film by Nostalgia Critic. To be honest, this review is like a training course before you watch the real thing. Helpful.
At least Tommy Wiseau actually paid his staff.
^underrated
Your profile picture makes this comment even better lmao.
@@brobroman9356 why thanks
Dammmnnn 😂😂😂😂😂
The budget for the film was 6 million.
When she is on the phone and he's in the bathroom, I legitimately don't know if the critic is adding the lines or not. Dear God this review is so fascinating. I kinda wanna watch this movie now. God help me. Hai!
jeramy hobbs I'm giving movie the benefit of the doubt here. Mind you, I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't added by Doug.
jeramy hobbs the critic was adding those lines in. Though the movie is so hilariously bad the lined might as well be there.

You can't beat that lol
Except 19:31, ✊👈
"Nobody poorly imitates my favourite farm animal!"
24:28 Well, he's a vampire, so he might be alive.
My favorite line is “I’m fed up with this whirl!”
"I don't love him anymore."
"Why not?"
"He's so boring"
Well, there's at least one true statement in this movie.
TheJudoJoker boi, u can call Tommy Wisaue a lot of things, but boring is far from one of them.
TheJudoJoker “Don’t throw your life away” -Spoony
I wish Spoony took his own advice :(
You can csll Tommy Wiseau many things, but Boring is not one of them
@@Jack1994hoo I’d call Johnny boring though, he’s got no personality outside of being a nice guy everybody likes
is it me or does Tommy Wiseau look like he acted out most of the movie when he was half asleep? almost all of the shots I see him in looks like he has his eyes half closed. which would probably explain the horrible acting
I like to imagine that he was just incredibly baked during the filming and writing process
I thought he was high
According to the guy who plays Mark, Wiseau doesn't touch alcohol or illegal drugs but he drinks a LOT of Red Bull and takes a lot of prescription medication.
actually he had a car accident that fucked up his face
Also, he has a really weird sleep schedule that does NOT lend itself to 8am shoots.
The Room was 7 years old when this was filmed, that was 12 years ago. The march of time grows ever faster, death swiftly approaches us all
I keep coming back to this review year after year. Dude, this is Doug at his best!
14:00 Fun fact, that scene took 32 takes and that was the best one. Makes you wonder how bad the others were in comparison to that.
That was best take they could get!!!!!! SERIOUSLY! I want to see the other 31 takes they did to see what made this freaking take so special from the rest. In fact if they were retaking so much why not try it with different people. A screaming toddler could put on a more believable performance than Wiseau himself or as I call him the Laughing Goth.
DragonGodMillionare Well they couldn't do it with someone else because since Tommy Wiseau did everything from horribly acting, horribly producing, horribly writing and horribly directing it I highly doubt he would've let anyone else try. Here's how I imagine the conversation would've gone down:
Crew member: Listen Tommy, um, I don't think you've got the, uh acting ability down. Do you think maybe we should try someone else in the lead role?
Tommy: No! No one else try! Is my movie! I play lead role in my movie!
Crew member: Oh come on. Can't you try it out with someone else for a few minutes?
Tommy: No I can't. Anyway, how is your sex life?
MasterCharlie104
Crew member: Can't tell you that.
Tommy: Why not.
Crew member: Because I don't want to....
Tommy: Poor crew member you're just little chicken/ cheep, cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep.
32 TAKES??? *laughing* How much effort does it take to be such a bad actor?
joyunicycle Apparently both nothing and a lot.
Lisa: Is he dead?
Me: Do you not see blood dripping from his mouth and a puddle right beside his head?
a giant ketchup packet that was alot of "ketchup"
Lisa: Is he dead?
Nostalgia Critic: Well, yes. Yes, he is, young lady. He has passed on. This person is no more. He has ceased to be. He's expired and gone to meet his maker. He's a stiff! Bereft of life! He rests in peace! If he didn't shoot himself, he'd be pushing up DAISIES! His metabolic processes are now history! HE'S OFF THE TWIG! HE'S KICKED THE BUCKET! HE'S SHUFFLED OFF THE MORTAL COIL! RUN DOWN THE CURTAIN AND JOINED THE FRIGGIN' CHOIR INVISIBLE! THIS... IS AN *EX-PERSON*!
Well, better replace him then.
He's resting.
Joseph Womer, Tommy ain't dead, He just went home.
12:43 When the best actor in your movie is generic thug #1...
He was probably a real drug dealer😂
Incredible that he thought that Future Doug Walker would still have hair
The drug dealer did a good job
Nico Reveco He was the best actor in the whole film.
alexh4319 I don't know, I think the gun who killed Tommy was the best actor.
...But, what about the waterbottle that Tommy threw on the 'rooftop'? THAT was the best actor!! I nearly cried when Tommy threw him to the curb! What a perfect performance!
alexh4319 and he's not even an actor.
The dog was better, he was a good boy.
It's funny how The Nostalgia Critic hasn't changed a bit in 6 years
Rodrigo Ventilari If he tries to change anything, people would complain. Just as they would if he changed nothing.
ShermTank7272 I'm not complaining. I'm amazed
His glasses and hat have been changing.. And the hairline.
Rodrigo Ventilari agreed
Now he is completely bald
« HeY WhAt’S gOiNg On HeRe ? »
« OMG do you need landing lights to the bed ?!! » 😂
"YOU ARE TEARING ME APART, LISA!" vs "SCARING THE LITTLE GIRL?!"
Which one is the most iconic cheesy line? XD
No one can beat Tommy 😀
"Nobody poorly immitates my favorite farm animal!" XD XD XD
The voice acting was so terrible that, I thought it was dubbed in.
Dont you mean, "The acting WISEAU BAD"
The Llama King potato potahto. I hate it when directors make themselves the main characters in movies, even though they can't act.
Literally half of it WAS dubbed.
Samaritan Are you saying it half of it was dubbed? So on film, before it was dubbed, it was even worse? Worse enough for them to want to dub it?
They shot half the movie with Tommy's lines in another language (French, I believe) and so they're dubbed over in English for the American version. The French got treated to his English lines being dubbed over in French, I assume.
I just saw this movie for the first time with some friends, and Greg Sestero (Mark) was there for a meet and greet and did a Q&A with the audience beforehand. What a trip! A packed theater with people shouting out lines during the movie, laughing like crazy, and spoons all over the floor when it was over. It's an experience best enjoyed with friends as long as they like outrageously bad acting, pointless plots and sub plots, and watching something that takes itself way too seriously.
When I was 12 or so I had this video on my Mp4 and re-watched at school just because I found it absolutely hilarious. This video is part of my childhood and it's one of the best of the Nostalgic Critic vids.
Can't wait for 'The Disaster Artist'
Richard Desmond true. I hope its 1000x better then this shit show.
Richard Desmond what line
ATLIS GAMING What a story Mark!
Crash of The 90's you have to say action loud so I can hear!
when it's going to be released
One of Lisa's lines:
"From now on I'm gonna do whatever I wanna do and that's it.. What do you think I should do?"
That Just sums up the script.
...
Really?
@@ClaudetteVioletta I looked up the transcript because I don't have the patience to sit through this movie
and yes, she says that.
It’s crazy this is almost made 11 years ago.
Fun fact, Tommy Waiseu made a bunch of terrible desisions when filming this film. He was constantly spending money on needless equipment and sets, and kept on firing his crew and cast and replacing them. Also, he frequently forgot his lines and cues, and the crew had to reshoot his scenes, or dub most of them in post production. He also describes the film as a black-comedy, even though we believe it's a terrible romance-drama.
Lmao even wikipedia doesn’t list it as that
"Hahaha. Let's role play. You be Sonya Blade, and I'll be a terrible actor."
I love Critic's mock impressions. 😂
Yup
I swear I couldn't stop laughing 😂😂
He predicted Cassie Cage.
Best part of all,Tommy's character is named "Johnny" Like Johnny Cage. In Mortal Kombat X,there's a new character called Cassie Cage,who is the daughter of Johnny and Sonya.
Am I the only one questioning that critics future self has more hair than he does now
Lord Voldemort he put a wig
he had put on a wig
You don't know me ! Except they don't mention its a wig so we're to assume his hair grew back
Ouch
His hair grew back just so it could whiten at the sight of this film.
12:39 probably the funniest joke Doug has ever told💀
Agreed. It sounds like something you would hear on MST3K.
I always come back to this video
The *"Oh, hi, Mark"* scene took 67 takes. It wasn't until Mark gave him the bottle that he got it right . He couldn't even remember the line . He WROTE the script and he couldn't remember the line.
OOOPS!!! My bad. I read the captioning in the movie and I was sure that said 67 takes. However, according to Greg Sestero it took 32 takes. Either way, that's TOO many takes for such an easy line!
According to Tommy it took 5 takes
big daddy buden We’ll probably never know the real number as Tommy Wiseau is basically the most open ended question in the entire world. Literally know one knew what his age was or where he was from until a few years ago, because every time he was asked this in interviews he would give open ended answers or change his mind constantly. The man is amazing.
So you saw the disaster artist
Haven't seen the movie. Read the book.
It was something like that.
@@brandonw6139 According to Greg Sestero, in The Disaster Artist 32 was the number. I have more faith in Greg's counting skills more than Tommy's directing skills. When you deal with Tommy logic, truth and fiction are subjective. Especially when you consider that Tommy did NOT know what a generator was for , he didn't know what a Line producer did. Tommy Wiseau is to film making what Steven Spielberg is to....Yodeling!
You have to listen to The Disaster Artist. The movie was good but the book goes into more unbelievable detail about how Tommy's movie making 'logic' A script that's *confidential* . And Greg does an AMAZING Tommy Wiseau impression.
The momnt you learn that the movie was supposed to be even worse because Wiseau wanted to add a flying car scene to reveal Johnny was a vampire. Even the actor who played Mark later on wrote an AWARD WINNING BOOK bashing the crap out of this film.
Vinícius Ferreira What a mind fuck that would have been...
"A flying car scene to reveal Johnny was a vampire."
WTF does Wiseau think this is?! Grease?
The book is incredible. I suggest the audiobook though. Greg Sestero does a spot on Tommy impersonation.
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh 😳
This episode is a classic
6:15 Critic saying he's got it "hard enough" watching Tommy's acting and his ass makes it harder
I kind of do want to see his old college film ...
Me to also why did you stop making video
Tikki Tikki Tembo, a fan uploaded an official review of the video from one of Dougs DVDs. Do a CZcams search, it's on here.
There are some things not meant for the world of mortals
The whole film is on youtube, i think its flashback 03. Its pretty anticlimactic tho....
same
I love you Critic. As a person. As a human bean.
Human Pinto bean or human kidney bean?
Jeeze. Him talking about how 2003 is too new to be nostalgic and now thats 20 years ago 😢
