Ever see the Robin Williams and Elmo outtake? He makes an adult-ish joke about Madonna and lingerie out of habit and then walks it back saying something to the extent of "no this is a kid's show." No doubt there's accidental R-rated cuts. The dude even tried to sneak Elmer Fudd into Disney's Aladdin.
Fun fact: Robin improvised so much material in Mrs. Doubtfire that there was enough footage to release a G, PG, R, and even a NC-17 rated cut of the movie.
Its so funny to me I grew up in an era where I only knew him for his PG kids movie work and now I realize he was well known for doing super raunchy comedy lol
The idea that Disney turned a rated r comedy into a family film is freaking hilarious to me , It's pretty much the same thing that to happen to Kangaroo jack.

I remember when Robin Williams died we went to the one of the few Ma & Pa Video stores left and there was a giant display of Williams movies to rent. Only Old Dogs was untouched
I remember going to a video store right around the time Robin Williams passed away and the guy working there offered me Old Dogs for free after I rented Bicentennial Man and Flubber. I told him I didn't want Old Dogs and if Old Dogs touched my rentals I would hurt him

I remember that one clip being shown constantly in a lot of TV ads for this movie at the time, so that one part of the movie is kind of a repressed memory of sorts for me.
My guess. It was originally shot to be PG13. Had one joke that made it R because the MPAA is weird. Then when trimming they decided to go all the way to PG
@@calipurnioelreydelodio7141 I hate to ask, but what does this have to do with BoyNamedSue’s original comment? Yes, the MPAA hands out NC-17 ratings for language.

In my mind, this and Wild Hogs have always just melded together into one movie, basically a Mandela effect. This video honestly blew my mind when I realized they were two separate movies.
Based on the trailers, it felt like Disney knew this film would fail. The majority of the trailers consisted of the camp scene and the gorilla scene, which amount to 5% of the entire film. When we saw it in theatres, we were shocked in the brevity of those scenes and realized that Disney marketing milked what they felt were the funniest parts of the film, as short as they were. In a way, it was a wise decision because the drab interiors, golf club scene, and restaurant settings make zero sense outside of their context and do not look appealing. They definitely struggled to convey the film's premise through its marketing, and leaving the child actors out of most of the marketing of a children's movie is rather telling.
I don't know if I agree that every childless man is hiding some dramatic backstory. Some people just don't want kids, and it doesn't get any deeper than that.
@@slinky6481 It can when they "inherit" children, i.e. from a close relative who dies. I don't have any kids but I do have a god daughter, and that's not the same.
Yeah, as someone who has kids I wish I didn’t have kids. That’s like the ultimate male dream. Rich, kidless and sleeping with women 20 years younger than you
This was also the last time Williams had the leading (I repeat LEADING) role in a mainstream film. This movie basically killed his status on the A-list.
@@ferociousgumby might just be me, but he's always looked this way in my eyes. and I don't mean that in a mean-spirited way. he's always had this sad, melancholic look about him, especially in the eyes. even when he was at his funniest and making the entire room light up, there was still a palpable sense of sadness to him. again, might just be hindsight playing tricks on me, but still. I'm no mental health expert and I certainly didn't know the man personally, but I kind of saw it coming in a way. may he rest in peace.
@@sunsetman22 They say all the greatest clowns had broken hearts. Seems to be true that the people who make us laugh often have painful lives. Jonathan Winters and John Candy come to mind, and then there are the John Belushi/Chris Farley wild and crazy type who one day just self-destruct. Robin Williams was almost wasted in comedy - his dramatic performances were low-key but superb (Goodwill Hunting, Dead Poets Society, and especially Awakenings - Oliver Sacks was on the set during filming and was astonished at the way Williams replicated his character.)
Wild Hogs was like the Hangover for me, saw it in theaters with no expectations and laughed my butt off; rented it when it came out on video and was like how did I ever find this funny?
Travolta doing these types of family movies, has always felt off to me. At least anything that's not "Look whose talking". I can't put my finger on why tho
Because he's a rabid Scientologist who refuses to get his family medical treatments when they need them? That would make me feel uncomfortable about him being in "family friendly" films. Guy's a creep.
They've put Travolta in so many movies to die. It's sad. He's a likable guy and a good actor. He's great in that OJ Simpson show. That's one of the best acting jobs, & one of the best shows/movies he's ever been part of.
You should follow this up with a movie that is the COMPLETE opposite of this film, with an almost similar premise, Father's Day, starring Robin Williams and Billy Crystal.
Father's Day is exactly in the same vein of, 'not bad but didn't live up to it's potential'. Often over-looked and forgotten. As a Beatles fan I will always have a soft spot for Fathers Day as it was used as a vehicle to promote Paul McCartney's then new album. czcams.com/video/H1VgAWA2OzY/video.html
14:20 To be fair, functional jet packs capable of flight have existed since the ‘60s, they’re just not widely available, as well as being wildly impractical (only able to operate for a few minutes). I first saw one in action during the opening ceremony of the 1984 Olympics. Pretty cool, but you’re right, it doesn’t need to be in this movie.
I first saw it on the '70s live action Saturday morning kids' show "Ark II," in which a group of scientist kids and a monkey traveled a post-apocalyptic wasteland in a futuristic van. They had a jetpack they would use for scouting and such.
@@noneofyourbusiness4616 Oh wow, i remember Ark II but forgot there was a jet pack in it 😳 I guess cuz everything on that show registered as “futuristic sci-fi” in my brain so the jet pack didn’t seem “real world” til i saw it during the Olympics 🤔 Sounds plausible anyway 😄
@@Gappasaurus I only remember the jet pack in Ark II because when I looked up the show awhile back on CZcams they show it in the opening credits sequence!

If a piece of media meant to make you laugh made you laugh, then it achieved it's purpose. Why should you need to apologize for that? WE'RE the weird ones for watching a video about a movie we didn't really like to begin with.
i remember watching it during the same week when Robin Williams has passed away as a memoriam for him alongside many other's of his movies and featured farewell tweets of his colleagues onscreen
Oh okay. I was going to contend that this wasn't forgotten, but when I read the title I was actually thinking of Wild Hogs. I only very vaguely remember this.
Evolution is underrated by the way. Even if the CG hasn’t aged that good and it’s a bit too similar to Ivan Reitman’s first two Ghostbusters only with alien creatures.
I agree. It was on recently and I laughed so hard at "let's shampoo us some aliens line". So what if some of it didn't age as gracefully as other movies
@@bradwolf07 even got a short lived cartoon spin-off sequel during Fox Kids’ dying days airing around the same time as Mon Colle Knights. Still better than the TV spin-off/prequels Hotel Transylvania and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs got.
that was a thing for awhile in the 2000s where a movie that was supposed to be adult oriented was repurposed into a family movie. Kangaroo Jack was supposed to be a gritty mafia movie set in australia and it was just completely pivoted.
I love seeing Fr Ted fans outside of Ireland. Probably the best Irish TV shows. It's still very relevant in Irish culture and quoted endlessly. R.I.P Dermot Morgan and Frank Kelly. Absolute legends!
...y'know...if the movie was just a dad being taught by a famous kids entertainer how to BE a dad, there'd be something to that...I really think it could've worked well!
What I remember the most is the scene of the pill swap, as a child I was so conscious that I could actually kill someone by doing so, up to a point I am traumatize by that, so when I sort my great aunt's pills I always double check everything is correct otherwise they could end up with a Joker grin like Travolta, or dying of an overdose, sad and what a terrible feeling to associate with a comedy.
I just realized you have over 100,000 subscribers! As someone who's been following you since you first put out your Gene Wilder video, that's incredible to see. Keep up the good work Joe!
9:42 Makes me happy that Americans are discovering this gem of a show. In Ireland, if you quote a line to anyone on the streets, they instantly know what you’re talking about.
@@ThomasSpychalski It’s not that well known among the general public. When it comes to modern Channel 4 comedies, Derry Girls is the one that’s popular over here. Hell, they got their own mural in Derry City.
I didn't know there was going to be a Wild Hogs sequel. I like to see would that would had looked like. I love and miss you Robin we all do. You made us laugh and cried.
I always wanted to watch this. I was fascinated by the concept and seeing Williams and Travolta together in a movie seemed like it could be a nice surprise. I may check it out. Great video dude , you've been killing it with these videos lately! You should talk about Monkeybone , that movie is bizarre.
Your comment to the effect that it is a sad swan song for three talents reminds me of Peter Sellers death. "Being There" would have been THE movie to go out on, rather than the lamentable "Fiendish Plot of Fu Manchu".
This movie takes me back so much, me and my gma went and saw this in theaters and we laughed so hard! It’s crazy how fast life moved forward because back then I thought I was gonna be young forever and now I’m about to turn 22 and while that’s still young, it feels crazy that 22 years have passed since I was born and in that time so much has happened 🙏 good and bad! Thank you for the trip down memory lane
Completely forgot about this movie. Didn't even remember I actually saw it until it got to the hand model scene where her hands got crushed by the car trunk.
i grew up watching and dying laughing at old dogs so this was a super pleasant surprise seeing this pop up on my recommended. i’ll always love this movie bc of childhood nostalgia. the nub nub scene always kills me.
I miss Robin Williams man. He was such an rich human being. It’s sad the way he went out. Poor guy! I have so many memories watching his movies throughout my life tho, I’ll always remember him.
For years I remembered that scene with the pill switching, it was so strange and disturbing to a child me that I thought it was a dream. Thanks for unearthing that
Ngl my Grandma and I watched this when I was like 8 and we actually both loved it and whenever she’d come over and we’d have nothing to watch she’d say “wanna watch Old Dogs?” And we watched it probably about once a year up till I was 11. Even tho it’s bad it still has a soft spot in my heart.
Dude!!! Killing it with the father Ted reference!! You must have lived with u.k. parents or grandparents too!! Awesome 👌 only other person who has ever mentioned that show in my life!!! P.s. sorry for all the (!!!!) I was legit excited.
The story of Old Dogs being an R Rated comedy is similar to what happened with Kangaroo Jack. Btw, I wonder what your thoughts on the Whitest Kids U’Know film “Miss March?” Although, giving recent events, now’s probably not the right time to talk about it
@@rayluna1432 Kangaroo Jack was originally a PG-13 crime comedy. I don't remember if Kangaroo Jack was even a character in that early version, but Warner turned it into a family movie.
Have never heard of Miss March. Would talking about it now, be considered offensive, or some thing? If so, why?? Kangaroo Jack was & still is a piece of shit.
I forgot this movie existed. Either way, good video. Since you've made videos on comedies that are almost cult classics or forgotten failures, have you ever thought about making videos on: Radioland Murders, Dracula: Dead and Loving It, Strange Magic (If you want to talk about animated films), and Wild Hogs? I bring those films up because: 1. They have a neat cast consisting of well-known actors and characters actors. 2. Have a neat premise/idea that had potential to be good. 3. It didn't do well at the box office and was panned by critics.
I’m just going to assume there’s an R-rated cut of every Robin Williams movie
An R-rated version of Mrs. Doubtfire would be amazing to see.
Ever see the Robin Williams and Elmo outtake? He makes an adult-ish joke about Madonna and lingerie out of habit and then walks it back saying something to the extent of "no this is a kid's show." No doubt there's accidental R-rated cuts. The dude even tried to sneak Elmer Fudd into Disney's Aladdin.
"One Hour Photo"... recut as a screwball comedy.

Don't forget the live action Scooby Doo movies. The original premise for the first one was an American pie like, Scooby Doo parody.
This would be like if Raya and the Last Dragon was turned into Kingdom of Heaven 2 or something

I had to double check to see if I had wrote this comment.
I think Travolta's and Ben Aflek's toupees are probably BFFs.
Let's not forget Robin's hairpiece!
I always get this movie confused with "wild hogs"
Apparently that's by design, which makes it even worse.
Yeah, Same here.
I was literally thinking that’s what it was when I clicked on the video
Same, lol. I kept waiting for there to be scenes of motorcycles.
Both films are directed by the same guy, Walt Becker
The moment Charlie (John Travolta) said, "The kids said they've never seen 'Friday the 13th. Parts 1 or 2" made me laugh.
Charlie's and Dan's pills getting messed up was my fav
DAN: 😳🏌️♂️

So glad to find another father Ted fan, that show doesn’t get enough of a mention nowadays.
Hearing Robin talk about his daughter Zelda was adorable.
This is the movie that turned Matt dillon into Jack the serial killer.
Poison! 😣
I just realized you have over 100,000 subscribers! As someone who's been following you since you first put out your Gene Wilder video, that's incredible to see. Keep up the good work Joe!
9:42 Makes me happy that Americans are discovering this gem of a show. In Ireland, if you quote a line to anyone on the streets, they instantly know what you’re talking about.
How is My Hero seen?
I know it is an overworked idea for a show, but Brian made it work as Thermo-Man IMO.
It’s not small, it’s far away….
I spent a ton of time watching Ted back in night school. It was on tv in Canada a lot back in the day.
@@ThomasSpychalski It’s not that well known among the general public. When it comes to modern Channel 4 comedies, Derry Girls is the one that’s popular over here. Hell, they got their own mural in Derry City.
Down with this sort of thing!
@@thursoberwick1948 Careful now.

RIP bernie mac
This was one of his last roles before dying.
You are now in a better place
I didn't know there was going to be a Wild Hogs sequel. I like to see would that would had looked like. I love and miss you Robin we all do. You made us laugh and cried.
Jetpacks exist, they've been around for 60 years and used especially in Thunderball.
Travolta is pretty good at mugging at the camera. Dude has a pretty funny elastic face when he wants to.
Thank you for helping bring attention to father ted.
Robin Williams is such a good comedy actor
RIP Robin,Kelly and Bernie.
The only thing I remember from this was the gorilla Seth Green bit.
That sence brought my review of this film from a 5/10 to a 4/10 but maybe that's just because I have an irrational hatred for seth green
It's the bear scene from without a paddle all over again.
This movie is actually quite funny. Williams and Travolta are great together
I always wanted to watch this. I was fascinated by the concept and seeing Williams and Travolta together in a movie seemed like it could be a nice surprise. I may check it out. Great video dude , you've been killing it with these videos lately! You should talk about Monkeybone , that movie is bizarre.
One of the best movie channels out there. Never stop.
Oooh wow, I somehow remember this movie now, thanks for bringing it up Joe.
Your comment to the effect that it is a sad swan song for three talents reminds me of Peter Sellers death. "Being There" would have been THE movie to go out on, rather than the lamentable "Fiendish Plot of Fu Manchu".
I forgot how much comedies from this era would rely on bad racial stereotypes for half the jokes
U mad?
Go watch black comedians. Literally all racial stereotypes. “ white people talk like this “
Damn. I totally forgot boondocks was a thing.
This movie takes me back so much, me and my gma went and saw this in theaters and we laughed so hard! It’s crazy how fast life moved forward because back then I thought I was gonna be young forever and now I’m about to turn 22 and while that’s still young, it feels crazy that 22 years have passed since I was born and in that time so much has happened 🙏 good and bad! Thank you for the trip down memory lane
Completely forgot about this movie. Didn't even remember I actually saw it until it got to the hand model scene where her hands got crushed by the car trunk.
i grew up watching and dying laughing at old dogs so this was a super pleasant surprise seeing this pop up on my recommended. i’ll always love this movie bc of childhood nostalgia. the nub nub scene always kills me.
I’m so glad you made a video on this
I still hurt just seeing his face. We need him back now more than ever. Devastating loss.
I miss Robin Williams man. He was such an rich human being. It’s sad the way he went out. Poor guy! I have so many memories watching his movies throughout my life tho, I’ll always remember him.
For years I remembered that scene with the pill switching, it was so strange and disturbing to a child me that I thought it was a dream. Thanks for unearthing that
Great job, you almost never fail to get me bust out laughing watching a new video from you
Still can't get over the fact that robin was in so much pain he had to end it all
Ngl my Grandma and I watched this when I was like 8 and we actually both loved it and whenever she’d come over and we’d have nothing to watch she’d say “wanna watch Old Dogs?” And we watched it probably about once a year up till I was 11. Even tho it’s bad it still has a soft spot in my heart.
The editing and comedic timing in these videos is getting better and better.
Dude!!! Killing it with the father Ted reference!! You must have lived with u.k. parents or grandparents too!! Awesome 👌 only other person who has ever mentioned that show in my life!!! P.s. sorry for all the (!!!!) I was legit excited.
Old Dads would have been a much better title. Old Dogs sounds like a sequel to Old Hogs.
It’s like this entire movie that I forgot existed got blasted to the forefront of my memory when I saw the camp scene
I completely forgot I watched this movie until now. Thanks for the video, this movie earned it.
I actually really enjoyed Old Dogs and really don't understand that hate towards it.
“I see kids! Ah!!”
That was funny
11:05 Jon Travolta as The Joker?
Now that would be an interesting take.
The story of Old Dogs being an R Rated comedy is similar to what happened with Kangaroo Jack.
Btw, I wonder what your thoughts on the Whitest Kids U’Know film “Miss March?” Although, giving recent events, now’s probably not the right time to talk about it
And Scooby Doo.
Really?!?
@@rayluna1432 Kangaroo Jack was originally a PG-13 crime comedy. I don't remember if Kangaroo Jack was even a character in that early version, but Warner turned it into a family movie.
Have never heard of Miss March. Would talking about it now, be considered offensive, or some thing? If so, why?? Kangaroo Jack was & still is a piece of shit.
@@brandonpage7087 I think it might be inappropriate to critique now because the film's Writer, Director, and Star Trevor Moore just died.
Bro I watched this when I was like 8 and I had no idea wtf was going on.
Three Men and A Baby is literally one of the craziest movies I’ve ever seen please cover that one 😹
It was based on a French film. Said French film spawned a lot of North and South Indian remakes in various languages.
This looks like the type of movie my parents would love lol
Father Ted was a brilliant show
I wish I could subscribe to you twice for using a Father Ted clip.
You are a man of culture, sir.
Hats off man
Once again proving the point that sometimes less is more.
My parents loved this movie. I remember watching it at lot when I was younger, especially on road trips.
I forgot this movie existed. Either way, good video.
Since you've made videos on comedies that are almost cult classics or forgotten failures, have you ever thought about making videos on: Radioland Murders, Dracula: Dead and Loving It, Strange Magic (If you want to talk about animated films), and Wild Hogs?
I bring those films up because:
1. They have a neat cast consisting of well-known actors and characters actors.
2. Have a neat premise/idea that had potential to be good.
3. It didn't do well at the box office and was panned by critics.
Wait, wild hogs was a smash hit? H O W ?
RIP Mr. Williams and Miss Preston.
I love your videos!
I feel like some sort of review on the Popeye musical would be really on brand for you.
Was literally thinking about this yesterday
