"Oh, I'm sorry, I was raised on television and conditioned to believe that every black women over 50 is a cosmic mentor" - Jeff Winger
Butt Soup Awesome Community reference.
Soren is basically Jeff anyway
Their writers were streets ahead.
@@getpumped87 the season 4 writers were streets behind :(
Ethan Tull I personally feel like he is a mix between Dean Winchester, Jeff winger, Barney Stinson and maybe a superhero of some kind and/or deity of some kind
When I was studying acting in college, we had a guest speaker who worked on the movie "Hitch". He told us that they had to really negotiate with someone on the production end of things to cast Will Smith because they felt that although Will Smith would do a fine job, they would not be able to cast a lead actress. They refused to cast a white actress to pair with him because they didn't want to pair a black man and a white women, and they refused to cast a black actress, because that would officially make it a "black movie". So they split the difference, cast a latina, and agreed to casting Will Smith. I mention this because, it could be said that all of the things the Cracked team covered in this episode are pure speculation, but, whether they know this or not, this one is actually based in fact. Probably not the only one, but it's the only one I can, myself, speak to.
Wow that's messed up :(
These days they split the difference so that if it's a white woman and a black man it's fine but some white character always has a problem with it. If it's a black woman and a white man, he's an effemanate idiot who either needs her to keep him on track or brings her down with him.
You're so full of shit, show us a single quote where he stated this.
Princess Daisy I’m pretty sure your thinking of Denzel Washington who in one of his films refused to kiss his white costar as he felt that his main demographic was black women and didn’t want to alienate them.
I actually think that it might not be an issue of Will Smith but creators of movies that he's in. He overall rarely gets a girl in a movie because he has hard time generating on-screen chemistry with his female co-stars. And why he was never with a white woman... because of casting directors, script writers, directors and so on... You said it yourself "they refused to cast a black actress, because that would officially make it a "black movie""... Like who cares?! So? It shows that creators maybe put a little too much meaning in actors' races... Denzel actually had reasons to not end up with white women...
"It had been twenty years (in 1992’s Malcolm X) since Denzel had kissed a White woman on screen until more recently in the 2012 movie, “Flight.” He had his reason for not doing so and it had nothing to do with him disliking White women or anything like that, but it apparently had a lot to do with with his respect for Black women and his disapproval of how Black actresses were all too often not seen as the object of affection when it came to major motion pictures, so he didn’t want to feed into that stereotype."
"Most of the characters Morgan Freeman has ever played."
Including his role in the Lego Movie.
"i'M THE GOOFBALL IN MY OWN LIFE!?"
I laughed so hard, I stopped breathing for a couple of seconds.
I'd like to testify that 1. I am gay and 2. I AM magic.
Are they related?
+A Piece Of Bread Yes. Yes they are.
+Jack Weibel When I see an openly gay comment on youtube with no off-topic homophobic replies it kinda gives me hope for the future...
seeing the lack of homophobia fills you with determination.
+Jack Weibel wrong kind of magic
"Gay people are magic!" Is still the best setup line for any episode of After Hours.
"Sometimes i forget you guys arent all figments of my imagination"
That quote pretty much sums up all my interactions with other people.... is that bad?
we are...
Hooray for the figments of my imagination finally discovering solipsism!
@@Mixinnitup 5:22 The way Soren said that was delightfully sociopathic.
I’m so sad I came across this series and cracked on CZcams in 2019. Love the content, wish the evil dying newspaper company that bought Cracked didn’t liquidate them, destroying my hopes for more OPCD and After hours to ever flourish again.
After Hours was already finished anyway. They hated filming it by the end. It was recast with 4 other actors but it just wasn't the same.
Swaim and some other ex Cracked people are doing a ”reboot” type thing of after hours called Off Hours on smallbeans youtube channel
Jonatan Nilsson why was I not made aware of this before???
Honestly tho thank you for knowing about this and spreading the info
What happened? What's going on?
watch Small Beans, it has new content - Odd Hours
Anybody notice when sarron whispers "We Are" to Dan at 5:22 ?
Yes
.....holy fuck i didn't catch that at all
Headcanon CONFIRMED
Sarron? Do you mean Soren?
Yes
why has hollywood exposed our gay magic this was supposed to be secret goddammit
I was doing such a good job hiding it too.
@CHAOSCANDIDATE thanks for that amazing, deep and complex reply to this joking comment.
You couldn't just be cool and play along, you just had to be rude.. didn't ya?
Another example of handedness in movies. The Infinity Gauntlet in Infinity War which was made specifically for Thanos is for his left-hand. When they remade the gauntlet in Endgame, it's for right-handed use.
Wait a minute...
The waitress has "Crazy Beautiful" tattooed on her arm.
and she is.
as a gay man, I can assure you we are magic
Magic and my father. Wow.
Where the money for child support you owe me
Bert Turbaville omg thats so great
+I am Your Father But papi please
if god hates gays why has he made yall so cute
Daniel is obviously the protagonist. Soren even confirms it when he mouths "WE ARE" in response to Daniel saying "I forget you're not all figments of my imagination".
I thought this too, but actually that makes him the author and Soren is the protagonist in the story Dan is writing
When you find out you're not the protagonist in your own life lmao
Lol I’m left handed and also just the goof ball in my own life.... dang
black man white woman-"save the last dance" and i hate that i know that
Annie's remake.
Troy and Britta on Community
webbyman58 YES ( I ship them)
What about an Asian man with a white woman, aside from "Dragon" with Jason Scott Lee and Lauren Holly, playing Bruce Lee and his wife Linda? I was thinking, maybe 1 of the Harold and Kumar movies, but John Cho's wife is played by a Hispanic actress named Paula Garcés. La Bamba might count, but Lou Diamond Philipps is mixed and looks more Hispanic than Filipino.
When you say Asian do you mean East Asian, or are we including Indian and Middle Eastern?
The last Samurai thing actually makes perfect sense, in the sense that there's no such thing as a left handed Japanese sword style, regardless of handedness. That's one of the things that made Hajime Saito so famous/dangerous, was that he was one of the number of swordsmen from japan that you can probably literally count on one hand that taught himself left handed fighting.
Because,you know, interesting shit no one cares about :D
The left and right handedness of characters is actually intentional and a pretty old rhetorical device. It's not a coincidence that we call things that are correct "right," as the default construction of most devices (particularly complex machines requiring an operator) is that which is operable to a right-handed person (the majority of people). Pre-dating the Industrial Revolution, even, left-handed individuals were considered shifty and untrustworthy. The word "sinister" is Latin for "left" (or proper left, predominately when discussing one's coat of arms, in which designs on the proper left of the shield were considered less important to the history or attitude of one's family. Ever noticed that the eagle on the Seal of the US is holding arrows in its left claw and an olive branch in its right?). The negative connotation of "sinister" comes from this attribution of untrustworthy behavior to left-handed individuals, a practice that still shows up in film and TV, today.
I've probably seen every After Hours at least 5 times over the years and this is the first time I've noticed Soren lean into DOB and whisper, "We are" after Dan says "Sometimes I forget you aren't all figures of my imagination."
I love the silent "WE ARE!" after he just stated he had forgotten they WEREN'T figments of his imagination...
and since he didnt try to let him see that...
Are they actually just a figment of his imagination?
Is that why they all have such specific personalities? :D
OMG i want an After Hours about them discussing how likly it is, that they are just figments of his imagination :D
Katie: Are you so crazy that you've been keeping track of which hand movie characters write with?!
Dan: Nope...I've been studying hair parts!
Me: I think I'm in love
So I know it's been 5 years since you've said this, but I've been rewatching After Hours, and as a chick, I absolutely find Daniel the character I most want to be with.
What about the stereotype of the "inspirational disabled person"? You know what I'm talking about--that movie that shows a person with a disability triumphing over adversity and changing able-bodied people's look on life in the process.
As someone who's been visually impaired since birth, that stereotype drives me nuts. If we overcome obstacles and inspire others, great, but don't define us by our disabilities. We're not here to be wing-men constantly dispensing advice and insight to make non-disabled people feel more fortunate or better about themselves. It will be a great day in Hollywood when a film is made about a character with a disability and that disability isn't the central focus of the story and instead shows the character as someone just living their life, someone who just happens to be disabled.

I feel the same with gay people. I want to see a movie or TV series where a person is gay but no one cares, and it's not a big deal and it's not part of the story.
Kristian S Defiance. Almost everyone in that show seems to be gay / bi and no-one even makes the slightest mention of it.
Kristian S By "not making a big deal" do you mean the show never acknowledges homophobia? Sadly, the only thing I can think of off the top of my head is the web comic Homestuck.
SourBitters Homestuck is awesome! What are you talking about?
...Unless you're implying its sad you can only think of one work of fiction where homophobia isn't mentioned with homosexual/gay characters. If that's the case, I agree with you. Although Good Luck Charlie had a same-sex couple without having characters react in a homophobic way (although they are never seen kissing or holding hands or any romantic stuff).
The two shows I expected to have made an episode about homosexuality surprisingly haven't. Arthur and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Specifically Arthur. I mean, it's done topics like swearing, Cancer, and even terrorist attacks (very similar to 9/11) very maturely. So you'd expect it to have an episode regarding homosexuality. Then again, it is a kids show, and tons of angry soccer moms would get upset and march over to PBS's office and yell at them for having something like that. I think all the bronies remember what happened when Derpy got a speaking line.
idk why but i like the way Daniel talks. lol
(read this in his voice to get the full effect)
He has frequent, yet infrequent, pauses, but then he talks really fast and spews out a bunch of facts all at the same time, like info-dumping, and then kinda sums, it all, up, with more, pauses.
You should be a linguist if you aren't one already! (That's... not an insult. Honest.)
Reminds me of a sped-up Jeff Goldblum.
Navid Haider Thank you! I'm thinking about having a minor (in college) in something to do with that 😊
Emily B My second major was in linguistics! If you go for an English degree that's the one that will actually feel like a real science. Good luck :) You'll be in good company!
"You should have just walked away, Soren."
I love these after hours episodes.
Make another after hours about ANYTHING I swear I am obsessed with these episodes... you could talk about anything and I would be interested
Pleas check out my channel it's not Amish good but we are getting their
1:23 The use of Red from Shawshank Redemption here is odd, because he actually is a flawed and human character who grows through the course of the film. The movie is told from his perspective, and he learns things from Tim Robbins' character. The line here, "That's goddamn right," follows "Get busy living, or get busy dying," which was a phrase he repeats from Tim Robbins.
I mean, it's mostly true about Morgan Freeman's roles. But this example was peculiar.
Jessica jones.... To your black man whit woman.
Eva Stetler Movie, not show.
+Hana Omer But they mentioned the show friends?
This episode was made in 2014. Jessica Jones didn't release until 2015. Marvel must have seen this video lol.
that's cause it's based on comics
Supergirl to your Jessica Jones. Black Jimmy and Blond white superhero, NOPE! Not on the CW you don't.
Egyptians are always white in Hollywood...
+ryfin2000 probably something more 'historically accurate'. There are plenty of more accurately colored actors out there to cast...
Egyptians both then and now, look a lot like middle-eastern men and women. They most definitely were not 'white' though
+ragnarox16 actually you are wrong, egypt alongside all north africa was invaded by arabs in medieval times, ancient egypt would look more similar to greek people or israeli people than middle eastern people
+patataton After doing a bunch of reading research on wiki, it's 'inconclusive'. There isn't enough evidence to prove skin or eye color... Although facial models can be made, most Pharaohs had both Caucasian and North African traits such as a North African skull shape but narrow nose opening (which is generally Caucasian).
+ragnarox16 I just made a long rant on Facebook a few hours ago about that a few hours ago. I just saw the Gods of Egypt trailer and was highly pissed. I'm not racist towards white people but, Egypt is part of my heritage and it got shitted on.
+James Scales Isn't it a shame?
You should totally copy and paste / share your rant here.
Its really weird because in real life black male white woman couples are like a hundred times more common than their counterparts. I find that odd
There's a caveat that should be brought up here.
White man + Any kind of woman is far more prevalent than Black man + any kind of woman. When it comes to specifics, black women + white men is less frequent than white women + black men. Going further, Asian women + white men is WAY more prevalent than White women + Asian men or really Asian women + any non-Asian male group. So there's an effect of both ethnicity AND gender. Fascinating! **Sips tea**
MrOmniblast lol I feel like I just graduated college reading your comment lol.
MrOmniblast does it says much if I say my wife is Asian?
Jacoby Sloan
Nah, my ex is Asian. lol Some of them don't succumb to the brainwashing. Besides, you're probably a well educated, successful dude. Her parent's most likely had no objections and if they did, it would be entirely racial, which is easier to counter. ;)
Corey Pack
I thought that was going to be a troll comment, but wow. Go make that damn movie. Haha Or a play, even!
I miss these so much
Im left handed but i shoot with my right, and fight dudes with swords with me right hand. My hair is parted too the right as well. Left handed people dont only use their left hand for certain things.
Carter Harvey but was it conditioning that made you do it? I bat and shoot righty because my coaches taught that way as a kid. Everything else I do lefty. It seems we're taught/forced to be more ambidextrous than right handed people.
Yeah it was always taught to do those things with my right hand, or I guess it just felt right. I dunno, hard to remember.
You're mixed-handed. True lefties (like me) can't use their right hand for anything without specifically training against what is most comfortable.
I think it has to do with how you are taught to do something. I play a lot of sports right handed (except batting) and on the other side of that, my sister does a lot of craft stuff left handed because my left handed mother taught her.
This is Cracked's best video series.
My gay sociology professor said he is so done with gay stereotypes in movies because when he first becomes friends straight, females they want to go shopping with him and ask for hair and makeup advice...
well there are different types of gay people if you watch a few gay youtubers like the gay men channel and the gay women channel you could see that we are not all the same but we fall into categories just like straight people
Michael is lefty, but his hair parts like he's right handed?
A. Mikey B. Glad I'm not the only one that noticed
I miss these guys so much. Good stuff.
I've gotta say, this is one of the most well done, and interesting videos of after hours yet.
After Hours is my favorite series on Cracked. The only reason I subbed.
same
3:01 A black man and a white woman get together in Love Actually, The Bone Collector, The Pelican Brief, Save the Last Dance, Boogie Nights, Hancock, Cruel Intentions, The Day After Tomorrow, House of Wax, The Long Kiss Goodnight, Jungle Fever, Blazing Saddles, Me, Myself & Irene, Primary Colors, Valentine’s Day... and that's just to name but a few.
elizabeth184 Hancock and House of Wax don't work. Firstly in House of Wax they start off together but both die, and secondly in Hancock they HAVE to separate and she stays married to her uber white husband.
Mitch and Charly only have a brief moment at the hotel in Long Kiss Goodnight, which Mitch calls bluff and the whole point of Jungle Fever is interracial romance so it doesn't count either.
And in save the last dance there being different is 90% of the movie. You could not have done that movie with 2 white or 2 black people
Man I’ve seen one of those, and it’s Hancock where they don’t even end up together at the end
elizabeth184 it’s honestly more rare when it’s a black guy with a black love interest. Like damn is it really that hard to a another black woman. Like come on now they don’t do that with no other race. Asians go with Asians. Latinos r with Latinos. White ppl with white ppl of course 🙄. But for black ppl it’s rare to just have an ALL black family
I was pointed towards a pretty appealing movie called "The Watermelon Woman" by Cheryl Dunye. It's about a black lesbian film student trying to research an obscure actress from the 1940s, in the hopes that her demographic will finally be given the deserved representation in the field of film history. I recommend it. It's not that long and was cheap to rent on iTunes. It had a couple heavy moments but was mostly loose and fun, and plays with breaking the fourth wall where you feel like you are getting a rather honest vertical slice of what was going on in Dunye's life at the time, so once you're reeled in, the (SPOILERS!) title card at the end confirming that most of what you saw, at least everything regarding the mysterious actress, was a fiction does hurt, even if you're not surprised by this revelation. It's also very 90s. Considering how strong her first attempt at making a movie turned out, I'm sure Dunye's other movies are good too. But the other ones are clearly gritty and not here to cheer people up; documentaries about systemic exploitation of women's prisons and the like.
I can't believe this video didn't include the three stereotypes that all female characters from Hollywood fit into. And on the subject of female deaths they are a lot more common if the female character happens to be gay. A lesbian character will die about 81% of the time.
That might be because side characters not main characters are generally the ones that die in movies and lesbian characters are usually side characters not main characters
Lesbian characters exist in Hollywood blockbusters? Wow.
Wait, what are the three stereotypes all female characters in Hollywood fit into? I need to know this
*wearing beret*
But in real life, the lesbian, she dies 100% of the time.
*smokes cigarette pretentiously*
As do we all.
@@fidly4 - I'm guessing he means *Manic Pixie Dream Girl* aka the cute, quirky 2-dimensional girl who only exists to inspire character growth in the male lead (like Diane Keaton in Annie Hall, Melanie Griffith in "Something Wild", Zooey Deschanel in "Yes Man", Kirsten Dunst in "Elizabethtown", Kate Hudson "Almost Famous", Natalie Portman in "Garden State", etc.), *The Trophy* aka the girl who the nerdy protagonist chases throughout the movie or that action hero wins for saving her life (Revenge of the Nerds, Superbad, Knocked Up, James Bond, Transformers, etc.) *Tranformation Girl* aka this girl is a plain jane or ugly duckling who only has value after a makeover or dress-up montage (Grease, She's All That, Never Been Kissed, Miss Congenialty, Princess Diaries, Pretty Woman, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, etc.)
just make more. I miss these.
they have like 1 episode a month
make it 2 and I'd be happy.
I am seeing this in 2022, and man, ever so relevant. Can't believe how amazing this whole series was....
The white and black romance thing, does it count if it's TV? Cause I have one word for all y'all.
Leverage.
Two main characters, Hardison (black) and the lovely Parker (white) end up dating by end season and are flirting through the series. So... Proof.
Amazing departed spoiler aha, that's fucked someone's day up. God damn it I cant believe I only discovered Cracked today.
W E L C O M E.
+Phil B i think 3 of them were in the same scene haha
It's an overrated movie anyway
MORE After fucking Hours! I love these so freaking much.
I swear this makes me want break out my DVD collection and just start binge watching just to see if his theory holds up about handedness and hair parts.
In regards to the "Left-handedness is only for villains" trope, props to "The Lord of the Rings" for not giving into this stereotype. Theoden was a lefty.
they miss one other insane stereotype, the Evil Albino
Aside from DaVinci Code when was there an albino that was evil?
lol.... read, and comprehension required. Title of the clip: 6 Insane Stereotypes That You Still See in Every Movie. EVERY MOVIE, hint hint....
In General when they mean every Film that includes an Albino he/she is generally the villain or the henchman like The Da Vinci Code, Rocky Horror Picture Show, House of 1000 Corpses, the Omega Man, The Matrix Reloaded, Contact, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Ice Age 3, Hellboy II etc...
The Faceless Unknown Who was the evil albino in the Matrix?
The Twins
How about the dumb dad, smart mom stereotype. I'm kinda tired of seeing it, and the only show I can think that changes it is American dad, but I can't think of a film.
7 years later and the protagonist reference at the end still gets me 😂
I think this is the best of all. Perfect
Yeah, I think we should be equal with the distribution of violence.
Equal brutalization for everyone, regardless of class, race or gender!
Seriously? The subject is ridiculous Hollywood stereotypes, and not one mention of how Asian males are portrayed? I agree you don't often see a black guy and white woman end up together in movies, but you do see it occasionally. What you ALMOST NEVER see is a straight Asian male portrayed as a sexual being IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER, let alone with a white woman. Asian females are the love interest for every race but their own. The male characters, it's all "mean Asian dad" or "sexually ambiguous friend." I've been almost exclusively with white women my entire life; not because I didn't want to date an Asian girl, I just was never around very many. And while I wouldn't say I'm a party-animal alpha douche, I'm certainly not an introverted little nerd. But as far as Hollywood is concerned, I DON'T EXIST. The one notable exception is, of course, Glenn and Maggie on The Walking Dead. Glenn is a pretty amazing character, when you think about it. I heard an interview with Whoppi Goldberg where she talked about seeing Lt. Uhura on Star Trek, and it made her realize she could be whatever she wanted. White people can't understand it, but NEVER seeing anyone who represents you on TV, it's a very limiting thing. Glenn, even leaving aside the whole Maggie factor, he's the first sort of normal, ACTUAL DUDE-type Asian character I've EVER seen portrayed on TV. I know it was a long time coming and there's still room for improvement, but there are now quite a few regular guy characters who are black. Glenn is literally the ONLY Asian, and even with him, they sometimes fall back on that whole "nerdy" thing. There are more Asian males on this planet than any other type of male: we obviously DO US SOME FUCKING. But you'd never know it from movies or TV.
***** Don't know if it's really true or not, but I remember hearing about a poll that asked what races and sexes were most to least desirable, sexually. Black women and Asian men were dead last. Sucks, I know, but I wonder if that has anything to do with Hollywood's reluctance in this area??
You are right though, even I've noticed exactly what you are saying, and I'm not Asian.
BTW, Glenn is one of my favorite characters on TWD. I root for him, and always wish he'd get more screen time.
There are plenty of Asian actors who are portrayed as bad-asses, but then that's just another stereotype. It's true that they rarely get the girl. There are only a few *actual dude* types that come to my mind, but not many. Actor Kenneth Choi comes to mind. But yeah I totally see what you're saying.
What did you think of Gran Torino, if you've seen it?
blfry I only saw Gran Torino once, when it first came out. I remember really
liking it; definitely a movie I'd watch again, I just haven't gotten
around to it.
blfry And also, you're right--there are many depictions of the "kung-fu badass" type, but even they rarely get the girl. They're usually just the main character's buddy, or the villain's henchmen, jumping around doing kung-fu while the white guys get laid, often with Asian females.
***** True. And it's such an *odd* stereotype. Why can't the Asian guy be seen hooking up with a non-Asian girl? I'm not sure who would be put off by that?
***** I'm willing to bet money that its the famous (wrong) stereotype that Asian men have small penises. Subconsciously, at least, since I think we can agree that Hollywood has a collective subconscious.
And I've noticed the lack of Asian guys in movies, but that's mostly because I enjoy pointing out odd patterns in things like movies in an effort to make my friends think about what they're watching.
i love these videos!
theory falls apart at 6:32 where tom cruises hair is parted like a left handed person
No it doesn't because Tom Cruise is left-handed.
An observation I made (when that Cheerios commercial came out and ignorant people were upset about the black guy and the white woman) those who have a problem with it are usually misogynists. The act of being with a woman still means that they have ownership so it is okay for white men to own women of all races but when a non white man "owns" a white woman they have serious issues because to them woman can't make the choice on who they date. I have to admit that I'm still surprised that it is reflected in Hollywood since we are in the 21st century we should be past this.
Too true
***** I love your user name
I really loved that commercial and I can't believe people made it an issue.
Jesus Christ save us, Cracked has gone to the multi-cultists
I actually think its because white men are insecure about their dicks.
SPOILER ALERT
Angelina Jolie got shot in the head in Wanted... but after watching it again there was no blood spray and every other guy character shot in the scene had a blood spray
Nice sleuth work.
ncolaros Thank you
Why did I forget that movie? I don't remember but it might be a very good reason.
Frederic Beaudet Because aside from the action sequences, Wanted BLOWS (pun intended). The plot starts off plausible then quickly migrates into WTF territory. I tend to forget those until reminded too...
sirensoundwave Gee thanks! Now I remember.
Hey I haven't laughed out loud at a cracked video in a while, nice ending :)
These are so fun to watch!
I actually really love this video because they bring up a lot of really good points without seeming bias.
Seriously, how many times do we have to ask for 2 After Hours a month? Dont you get it Cracked??
"Modern Family, which has one of the most balanced and realistic gay relationships on television"...
*cough* The Fosters *cough*
Stef and Lena forever.
Love Steph and Lena! I didn't even think about them.
Then maybe they should specify homosexual men. I mean, all of their examples are men, and lesbian couples have actually been getting pretty reasonable depictions of their characters, because it doesn't infringe upon most male writers' sexual insecurities.
Does Brooklyn 99 count
*Personal request:* Put the "After hours" first , _then_ the title of the video!
I never know if i'm gonna get a great, smart "after hours" sketch/discussion which is funny and very well written, or a shockingly fast montage of movie clips that will get on my nerves. Hehehe....love you guys! :p
As someone who parts his hair every day, I can tell you that which hand you part your hair with usually has to do with your hairline, not whether you are left or right handed. When I decided to grow my hair out, my barber literally had me try both to see which looked better. I'm left handed, and I part with my right because right to left looked stupid on me lol
Excellent point and observation on the left handed stereotypes
Just noticed there aren't any credits in the beginning of this one for the animations and the writer. This one is one of my favs, I need to know who to admire for it's greatness!
it still creeps me out how creepy Soren looked when he mouthed "we are" to Dan.
i like watching these and pretending i have friends
yes i talk to them >.> i might be crazy
no, just lonely
welp we can be friends dude puts hand out for shaking ?
welp be my friend you can live in my prison with me walkers killed a bunch of my friends but srsly friends now
aww I'll be your friend :(
Dan begins rocking back-n-forth when called crazy. lol
3:03 Thank you so much for calling attention to that trope it needs to be called out more and more. 👍
The way your hair is parted has nothing to do with which hand is your dominant hand goofballs
Ruscle Dew yes it does.
no it 100 percent does not, im left handed but i use my right hand to part my hair
Ruscle Dew then you are the odd man out it has something to do with it for most people although it is not 100% it is at least 85% of the time right.
I'm right handed but part my hair with the left, because it's usually the empty hand.
R.J. Beasley what do you mean the empty hand.
Also if the protagonist is black it's probably an action movie or maybe a romantic comedy. There are very few good smart movies about life and stuff starring black people because the general audience won't relate with a black guy having complex existential issues. Same thing with a woman, it will either be a romantic comedy about her wanting a rich guy *or* having to choose between a rich guy and a much better one who is relatively poor, or just an action movie with the gimmick being "this time it's a woman!" Nobody is gonna watch a movie about a woman having to deal with an issue unrelated to at least one guy because every woman's life is supposed to gravitate around a man. That's how Hollywood think. Don't even get me started on an asian guy being the protagonist in something else than an action movie (and the guy not being Jackie Chan). We're gonna have to wait years for that one, maybe decades. And for the protagonist to be an arab, he's gonna at least have to be an ex-terrorist, or an infltrated terrorist who works for the government (because you'll never have a movie where the american government is the bad guys) or *anything related with terrorism*.
It's like in ancient times where every character of a play was a member of royalty, it's for the audience to *care*, you have to have important people as your protagonists. And who is more important than a white male, really ?
What about the Alien franchise? Out of 8 movies, including the AVP crossovers, 6 of them have female main characters. I am unsure about Covenant and Requiem had so many storylines. AVP's main character was also black
Moonlight- has a gay black dude as the main character. The big Sick- has a Muslim as the main character. Hidden Figures- has three black women as the main characters.Moana- has a female samoan as the main character. Coco-has a latino boy as the main character Soul- has a black man as the main character. The Farewell- a female Asian is the main characters. A Ballerinas tale- Once again, has a black woman as the main lead. If beale street could talk- a black man. And a black woman are the main leads. All of these movies have POC's as main characters and all those movies deal with relatable themes of loss, love, rejection, struggle, acceptance, and trying to work towards your dreams. What you texted was complete BS in my opinion and If you think I'm wrong please tell me why.
6:33 i like how he was just talking about the protagonist parting their hair with their right hand and then it cuts right to tom cruise with a left handed parting.....
I can't believe they did a thing on protagonists always being left handed and not using the latin word for left handed, Sinster.
Please sir, I want some more.
It's pissing me off that the food is getting cold.
"Tom Cruise does every thing Right-Handed"
*Proceeds to give 3 different examples of Tom Cruise parting his hair the left handed way*
why did they stop making these? I love these guys
The hair part theory is extremely flawed, because not everyone parts their hair in the direction of their hendedness. for example, I am right-handed, but typically part my hair to the left, and I imagine I'm probably not the only one
+KRX50 same here, I've tried to go the other way once, it just felt wrong.
+KRX50 Because your a bad guy!!!
It was just a small example, but they weir pointing out the fact most Bad OR goofy movie characters use their LEFT hand, and usually the main character or hero, use their right hand... It honestly wasn't apart parting hair, it was referring to which hand they usually use
Also this was ONLY referring to MOVIE characters, not a real life social experiment...
Also the clip they showed to show how Tom Cruise shoots with his right hand, he had his hair parted to the left.
KRX50 I thought he meant just protagonists and sidekicks/antagonists in movies
i think they forgot to mention
Hancock.
on the white and black arguement. . .
no, because the white girl in that movie was running away from her black soul mate to a white knight, and it ended that way. she ended up with the white guy.
Willy Massey cause white is right
Taco Toucher Wish i was White...
henry pendle Let me tell you, it's awesome...

This Dorian again. And this time I just want to say hahahahaha. Great vid. Made me laugh multiple times, even though it was shorter than most. Pointed out the realities of an ALWAYS biased ( regardless of which way u lean ) media. And picked on Lefties. Of which I was born one, but because my first grade teacher didn't know how to teach me to write with my left hand made me use my right. Changing my handage, if that's a word .....???? Forever. Tom Cruise. Scientology. Hahahaha.
Law abiding citizen, the female judge gets "shot" in the head.
P.S. I'm watching all the channels videos, I guess I'm weirdly obsessed with this channel since yesterday and I just now see this video 2 years later...still..
I don't know if a cellphone exploding counts as "shot in the head." But they were talking about brain and blood getting spattered around, they admitted that you see some get shot in the head or women with bullet holes in their head.
Finally another one.
...I'm the left-handed goofball in my own life too.
Just don't be the antagonist.. that would suck..
Trevor Williams No, it's alright.
002Brackets oh! Okay then.
Hair parting: I'm a left-handed guy, and I push my hair left-to-right across my head instead of pulling it. So. You can't use that to tell handedness
Right handed, but I also push my hair when I part it, point is that this is correct.
I love the endings of these videos lol
A movie with a Black man with a white woman. Well there was Hancock with Will Smith and Charlize Thorne. Redtails. Texas Chainsaw 3D with Trey Songz dating the main girl lead. With tv there is Lost Girl with Kenzi and Hale. In cartoon shows there was Justice League, Young Justice, and Static Shock, Teen Titans. Actually the bigger issue is the lack of Black women being represented as the girlfriend characters to Black male leads. You rarely see a Black woman with a Black man. She is replaced with Latinas and biracial women to pass for Black because the character is suppose to be sexy and Hollywood doesn't find Black women all that sexy and they are afraid to have a Black couple together because they feel their film will be labeled a "Black movie" but they have no problem with having a full cast of whites and one or two token other ethnic characters.
Hancock- I dont think they end up together by the end of the movie.
Abdul Wahed sheikh **spoiler** They don't, and it becomes a movie on why they SHOULDN'T be together.
I'm still waiting for that sequel.
These are getting so infrequent that the cast visibly ages in each episode.
They've been once-a-month for the past year and a half.
Huh. I stand corrected. Seems longer, I guess.
cgjthoma *Ahem* yo momma's been once-a-month for the past year and a half. Thank you, this is all.
Lastie P-R PMSing?
lolol 5:19 Soren mouthing the words "WE ARE."
that hair parting thing really freaked me out a bit..
Don't forget, lead parts quite usually have blue eyes
Hey, in Halo: Reach, Kat gets shot in the head. Not only that, but she's the only one of the team to (canonically) die on screen.
Carter: Crashes a gunship with tinted windows.
Jun: "I'M NOT DEAD!"
Emile: Stabbed in the abdomen on-screen, but ducks for cover before dying.
Jorge: Slip-space rupture behind spaceship walls.
Six: Dies shortly after the camera cuts to his discarded helmet.
It's more aimed toward movies because the argument can be made that you can kill women with headshots in games like GTAV.
I'd complain about the fact that that's not in a 'movie', but that's a really good point you made, and me making such a feeble counter argument is just cheap.
Eiknip Eip But this is a scripted event.
I believe thats because video games only reach to a specific demographic of people. It doesn't encompass a larger demographic like how movies do. Therefore, video games can get away with it easily and without regard vs hollywood.
The other thing you have to keep in mind is that typically the majority (or the entirety in most cases) of the bad guys are men. The only time I ever see an even slightly equal ratio of male-female enemies is in zombie games. Even in Mario games with dialogue all the enemies speak to each other as males, and an enemy is only explicitly female if there's a joke about her being fat/ugly.
I actually had noticed that on the first several seasons of Supernatural (aside from a female character dying in episode one, yet again, to further a male character's story arc) there weren't any female character deaths on screen. They all died off-screen or were dead before the boys got there. After feminism evolved (hell, the show was on 15 years so feminism WAS able to evolve while it was still going, lol) and main baddies could actually be women, then you got women dying on camera. I mean, Abadon took a knife to the gut so hard she actually came up off the floor and was held there on the knife for a few seconds. That's what I call feminism!
Love it.
