Business Lingerie gonna be big when we're allowed outside again
Yes
only for those that don't have natural attractiveness.. others have to put on skimpy little outfits. cake their face.. and make things bigger or smaller cause.. well... your just not good enough
@@RichardParker2099 is this supposed to be a joke? Or...
You could say it is a thing right now but they keep it outside the zoom window.
So never. Lol
"Star Trek meets Barbie" could describe the entire aesthetic of 1998 - 2002 in all honesty.
The "aqua" vibe is real
CETUS LAPETUS
SILENCE MAJOR
for a moment i read "Shark Tale meets Barbie"
You know what, that’s apropos.
"Pretty alpha huh", weird they actually nailed some future lingo there
The horse has big d energy
I know, it sounds like something people would actually say.
@@i_teleported_bread7404 people use 'alpha' as a descriptive already
Not really. They didn't predict that it would be used as one of the terms for a fake wolf hierarchy fetish. Eugh.
“Swallow the reality pill” 20:01
"You're a popstar, you want a child you get the child"
Well he's not wrong.
Oh no...

The dead don't get trials. So it's just allegations. Sad to say the perpetrators like are just the very tip of the iceberg.
SILENCE, MAJOR
Chadtronic hi chad
Hey Chad, can you explain what that cool grey oval around tour handle is/means? I looked online before asking, but I couldn't find anything.
Chad we need another Chad x Brutual collab. Y'all are the dream team
DENIED, SIT DOWN
Chad needs more likes
You know you’re getting old when you relate to the adults in the show more than the kids.
I've probably been old my entire life...
Ive been told i have an old soul lol
TheSomewareMan I relate to both. They are ying and yang and I walk the middle path. Thus I am what you would call a woman-child.
Major
I’m at the point in life where I relate to the villains more than the good guys.
I love how you can faintly hear the “Silence! Major!” In the background when Zenon is in the library trying to lookup information on the space station
by the way, if anyone cares, the Wingdings is just gibberish ("ugwwijvbndmb"), there's no hidden joke. I'm not sure why I expected it to be anything but it wasn't.
I remember wingdings being a font on Microsoft Word that turned all your words into weird symbols.
@@alexisd6106 It is, they're saying that the wingdings when translated to normal english don't mean anything
O7
Doing the Lord's work.
I expect it to be something too 🤷♂️😂
Okay so 25 years from now, space will be dressed like 80s rockstar Barbies, Earth will be dressed like 1997.
hey, i’m ready for it
Hey, I'll take that 90s fashion revival any day. Though... seeing 30 year olds rocking the JNCO jeans would be something else...
BEST MID-LIFE CRISIS EVER
I’m 100% down
Well the 80's were hot in the 2010's so maybe the 90's will be hot in the 2040's
"pretty alpha"
"Take the reality pill"
Greg was a proto-incel
You mean proto-Chad
I never understood why everyone thought it was like dorky that she came from space. I guess maybe in the future it's weird or something, but i feel like kids would actually think that was cool and want to know everything about it.
They probably could have made Earth humans thinking space humans are dorks work, but the writers would have had to delve deeper than they likely wanted. I know some Sci-Fi stories have it Class-based with Earth-dwelling humans being at the top of the political and social food chain, and the people who have taken to living in space being considered second class citizens. But that'd require refocusing "Zenon" in a VERY different direction than the one it took.
In the movie world, everyone has to be in a strict category and you can't change your caste unless you're the main character. In the real world, you go through so many phases growing up that you have been a little of each category by the time you're an adult. In my childhood, the people that thought science was nerdy were art nerds, or baseball card nerds. No one is a true Chad as it turns out.
Zenon crossover with The Expanse when?
I assume it’s similar to if your elementary or middle school teacher stood you up in front of class and announced that you were going to space camp at NASA! It’s seen as a geeky thing to kids.
@@ElvenRaptor Pretty much the plots of The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Gundam (various versions), and The Expanse, to name a few.
I'm obsessed with how the mean girl just casually dropped "Eastern Jersey" and I'm not expected to question it
Jersey is the ungroomed armpit of humanity
She called it "viral". Bio warfare? Too dark to be literal?
Other CZcamsr: "All my videos are going to be in 4k from now on."
Moose: "I'm gonna record all my videos in 360p 4:3."
I love this man.
It’s like if hes a CZcamsr from the mid 80s. It’s amazing
Bring back the 8mm baby!!! :D
Some people don`t even know that 360p shows up before HD due to compression..
@@anyroad5455 or 2006 tbh
The Virgin HD CZcamsr VS The Chad VHS Archeologist.
It bothers me how much my brain was fooled by his poorly green-screened hands.
Me to bro
Guess that's your brain trying to create stuff. Happens all the time when driving, our mind sees a few "images" and our brain puts the rest together. Although now that I've said that, it seems a bit scary.
I totally remember "read my flappin' lips". I remember being a kid thinking "That's a line you've gotta use" and then completely forgetting about it for most of my life. Glad I didn't create another cringey childhood memory
Next year, all brutalmoose’s content will be filmed in black and white silent-film style
“Types some Wingdings on his ergonomic keyboard” was not a sentence I was ready to hear today, but one I needed.
Me, but "Star Trek meets Barbie."
The comment I was looking for-so perfect lmao
The bitchy antagonist telling Zenon she looks like she's from East Jersey is the best line in the movie lmao
Yeah it is
East Jersey is Best Jersey
Dude, the editing making it look a 90's instructional video is hilarious!
One of the things I really like about this movie is that apparently everyone on 2040s earth drives 1999 Volkswagen Beetles
ze car of de future
i know i definitely would if i could get one
Missed this when it was first uploaded, but always love a new brutalmoose movie review.
PeanutButterGamer Brutalmoose is criminally underrated
His vids deserve more attention
He’s one of the best
Everything Brutalmoose does is just great
Same goes for you Peebs
I always thought you two were the same guy for a bit
"popular enough to receive a sequel"
I believe you mean "Zequel", disappointed Ian, disliked and unsubbed for this major blunder.
"major blunder" was a bluder major
Thanks I hate it
Silence, major
Could have been the "squeakquel" hehe
Lame major!
Ian looks like a character from Home Movies in this lmao.
I hate that this is accurate
Omg
"Cetus Lapeetus, Brendan."
"Yeah, Brendan, Cetus Lapeetus."
"Would you all stop saying Cetus Lapeetus!?"
@@VeeHoffman I am losing it right now

Because of this movie, to this day I randomly have "Zoom, Zoom, Zoom" pop into my head. It has been engraved in my memory and I am 31 years old. That song unbelievably catchy.
I forgot that song was from this movie and assumed it was an Nsync song that actually existed
DIRTY POP
"You're a pop star and you want a child? You get the child!"
Ah, so the future isn't all that different from the present.
R Kelly?
Your fursona is so cute!!!
@@brunobucciaratiswife thank you!
Drew the art myself on my old Galaxy Note phone.
It just gets more relevant as more time passes
"President Chelsea Clinton" oof.
Yeah that got a laugh out of me
What? You don't know she won't be president 25 years from now. Hilary probably won't be, she'd be super old.
@@FrenkTheJoy Yeah but I'm sure by then she'll get a new skin suit, so she'll look pretty good.

Zenon, many old guys in Poland have this name, seeing a girl named liked this made me choke on my drink.
What about Krypton or Neon or Argon

Are you sure that's all you've been choking on? 🤔
wait until you hear about the element!
Wow!

That black kid looks exactly like Waluigi.
He has an exquisite style, wearing overalls with a royal purple shirt underneath.
He’s already my favorite character.
I would not have found him, if not this video had been conceived. Thank you, good sir.
He's Blackuigi.
His catchphrase is "Blaa!"
@@i_teleported_bread7404 his catch phrase is "SHHEEEEIIIIITTTT"
@@i_teleported_bread7404 BLALUIGI
hahaha he kinda does, the outfit is exact
@@LunarRobotyx "Who said I got left off bad and boujee?"
The Zenon series is basically The Expanse for kids. Right down to the billionaire using a space station to test out a virus.
Now we need a kids' version of Game of Thrones
The main reason I remember this movie is because they ran advertisements for it all the time for years every time they made another one
D-COMs were so big in the past that you couldn't get away from it as a kid, haha.
My wife would like to request the one where a girl pretends to be her brother for motocross reasons.
It’s called Motocrossed
I totally forgot about this movie! It used to be one of my favorites
And big fat liar with frankie muniz
@@jarmakey1 I still love that one
OneMoreRep wow
"Zoom zoom zoom" and "cedas lapidus" were lodged deep in my brain thank you for helping to dig them out.
"You're a popstar and you want a child, you get the child."
Timely.
Sia has entered the chat.
The outfits and backgrounds remind me of the inside of a 90's Taco Bell. Miss that scheme, and with all the menu changes, the food too.
Taco bell interiors looked 200000% better 20 years ago
I think I've seen one Taco Bell with the 90's chairs and tables a couple of years back. It was crazy seeing the old cups and everything.
WHAT I REALLY MISS IS THE COIN GAME WHERE YOU GET FREE FOOD IF YOUR PENNY LANDS ON THE PLATFORM
sorry
You can take your 90s taco bell, I will keep my crunchwrap
@@BigRoyBad Not for long, friend :( if they got rid of the quesorito, I imagine this will follow
I appreciate the green screened in hands the most
The ironic thing about her not being able to swim is that in some aspects being on a spacewalk is a lot like being in water, to the point where NASA used a swimming pool to train astronauts for the Space Shuttle. If she can go on an EVA just fine, she should be able to swim... though I suppose on an EVA you're usually tethered to the spaceship.
Well swimming is about propelling yourself through water through displacement. In space you don't have to create your own thrust
And still able to breathe
swim through the water maybe, but stay above the surface and not drown probably not so much
Also if you can swim in space you can probably swim even better in gravity.. that line was hilariously stupid.
I was OBSESSED with this movie and I used to watch every rerun of it on Disney Channel. And if it was the marathon of all 3 movies back to back, I would religiously lie in my bed for 5 hours to watch all of them.
How to name people in your sci-fi story: Grab a science textbook, flip to the glossary, and start picking at random.
Ian is looking so good in the first outfit from his "business lingerie" fashion line. I really dig that Barney inspired color scheme.
Zenon predicted “low key” and “high key”
Damn homie you are thriving in that look, MAJOR.
Imagine a theme park where each section is a different decades depiction of the far future like a 50s future, 70s future, 90s future and 2010s future.
Note i feel like every other decade works a little better as there was always some blure between each decade.
That would be so cool!
I would go. Tomorrowland in Paris use to be like a Jules Verde version of the future and I always thought that was so cool. Shame it doesn't have that anymore.
So pretty much half of the extinct pavilions in Disney Worl?
Check out the extinct Disney attraction “Horizons” which actually presents a version of what you’re describing

Uh, phrasing?
@@glitchedsushi Am I even going to live to see a day when people stop thinking MJ was a paedo?
Ghislaine Maxwell has what you need.
Your editing gags are unparalleled, major.
god that freeze frame at the end, the scream, the blasted exposure, then the fade to white is really such a supreme combo
I was OBSESSED with this movie when I was a kid. I wore my hair in that stupid half updo almost every day to school in fifth grade.
I loved it too
I loved it. It was silly but I thought Zenon was so “cool” and the color scheme of this whole movie was fun to watch when I was a teenager
Sausage Mahoney hole sum
Tender Loving Care knows a lot about "Business Lingerie"
They don't want no scrubs, either
Lol damn that's an OG video 🤣
I love that video!
I vote you do My Date with the President's Daughter if you haven't already!
I remember that one, enjoyed it more than this movie
“I get to dance with Protozoa!”
Is this Xenon, or Osmosis Jones?
nice
**Zenon
For some reason, before seeing this video, I always remembered it as "Xenon" too tho....lol.
"Absolve me for interrupting but that hair do, or shall we say don't..."
Yup that's exactly how kids talk
That's how they talk in the FUTURE

That's how yasss queeen slay gurrrl clapback influencers online talk tho
@@christinenadeau6371 or james Charles stans
Kudos for consistently trying to put some hands on those green screen gloves xD what a legend.
I was 100% certain Zenon was a television show. This is insane. I never watched it but the look of it and commercials really pushed the "this is a tv show" vibe.
"President Chelsea clinton" wow that didn't age well
I mean...... it's not 2049 yet, so I guess we'll see
@@kosmic_overlord don't worry in 2049 someone will respond to this comment and give us our answer hopefully
@@kosmic_overlord I think the Clintons might finally be done with politics after Bill's Epstein adventures keep getting revealed more each month it seems.
@Ash Ketchup probably not which is why I said hopefully
@Ash Ketchup oh ok
dang Zenon is a kid. I must have watched it when i was really young because in my brain she looked 20.
"business lingerie" i have never laughed so hard in my life
Gotta love that the least plausible thing in the whole movie is Chelsea Clinton being president.
Don't you fucking jinx it
Chelsea did NOT have sexual relation with that woman. ;)
Chelsea did NOT leak e-mails to a foreign nation. ;)
WhY Is sHe nOT 50 PoiNtS ahEaD? ;)
If Trump can become president, anyone can. You, me, anyone.
@@blackphoenix77 anyone except another Clinton, I hope. he was good

"Swallow the reality pill." This kid just predicted the Matrix.
Wasn't that the same year?
Or the Wachowski brothers were big fans of Zenon.
Caleb E. *Wachowski Sisters
Wasn't it a series of books before that?
"If you take the blue pill, your life stays as shit as it was"
"What about the red pill?"
"Same, but strawbery flavor..."
To be fair I've met people in there 30s who've never seen snow, and upon seeing and feeling it for the first time remark "it's cold".
I had a similar situation the first time I saw a palm tree in person.
I'm 30, and I have yet to experience snow personally. I'd love to someday
korohacker as a born and raised Ohio state person, snow is neat for about a week and then it’s a pain in the ass. Shoveling, driving, heating bills, scraping your car off. Best experience with it is vacationing in a snowy mountain for a few days and then going home. You’ll have much better memories that way. Plus side: less bugs.
@@KetchupRocket The only good things i can think about winter weather are that there are no bugs and food left in your car stays fresh. That's all. Summer rules.
This video being 2 months old makes me feel some way... It feels like i watched it so long ago..
I love the old school filming, very nostalgic! It reminds me of old family films or even exactly what the quality was when I used to watch tv and movies in the 90s. Keep up the awesome work!
The sound byte of “Silence major!” was definitely just unlocked from the depths of my memory.
SILENCE....minor?
"Hey Poopface: Nice poopface you got there!"
I'm actually gona use that one.
Watching you review this makes me think, "I should get into children's media that I was too old for at the time." I know it's a terrible idea, but I still like to think about it.
I like how everyone in the future will be driving late 90’s VW Beetles.
The ugliest generation too.
@Weenie Hut Jr's To be fair, Aerostars are pretty hardy and reliable even with how ugly they look.
It's the vintage look their going for.
The Hologram teacher was actually one of my drama teachers, and his wife was in one of the sequels im pretty sure
That's pretty dope, and I like your name. Skeembo XP
Protozoa is what would happen if Sugar Ray remained famous and never changed after his role in the Scooby doo movie.
I love the use of an old camera. It fits your style so well.
One day during my 9th grade Biology class back in early 2000's, we were talking about Single-celled organisms and my teacher mentioned "Protozoa". A girl in my class let out an audiable gasp and shouted out "ZEDIS LAPEDIS!" She quickly put her hand over her mouth and everybody stared at her. She then had to explain what Zenon was and why Protozoa made her yell that out. That was an interesting day.
That hurts
Cringe
that didn’t happen.
@@currentteeth4078 I mean, I would hope so, but I have faith in the force of secondhand embarrassment
@RaineTCG Why is it so hard to believe that this happened. I mean it's not some fantastic story or one where everyone claps at the end when someone says something.
4:48 "I particularly like the fashion trend of the spandex base layers with regular clothes on top, this is the future I think we should be working towards".
This is why Mega Man Zero and ZX incorporate the exact same style.
Did not expect that reference here
Mega Man Zenon
God, I remember after first watching the premier of this movie back in '99, I DESPERATELY wanted to mimick Protozoa's ridiculous haircut, formed into little individual Hershey's Kiss-shaped spikes, each of it with silver frosted tips. But the silver frosted tips more than anything. GOD I wanted frosted tips lololol. God fuck the very late-90s were an absolute shitshow when it came to fashion. Truly. I never wound up getting the frosted tips, as they went WAY out of style less than a few months after this "film" came out. And it was for the best, quite frankly.
But yeah, I have strong memories of watching this movie and some light aspects of its overall æsthetic and absolutely nothing else about it. Though seeing clips of the climax here kinda jogged my memory tbh. Probably because I was always paying most attention when Protozoa was on screen, imagining myself with his epic hairstyle and kickin' fresh outfits. Why did 5 year old me watch this garbage though? Well, both because I had nothing better to do...and because Disney Channel MASTERFULLY advertised the premier of this piece of shit as an absolute CAN'T MISS EVENT. Something that they expertly did with all the old Disney Channel OG Flickerinos.
It was the beginning of the media controlling your desires, view of the world, and opinions.
I just wanted Protozoas jacket
This is literally my favorite Disney Channel Original Movie!! I mean the intro music alone gives me flashbacks and chills ❤❤. What an era ❤❤!!
That sudden "Okaybye" is the biggest mood I've witnessed in a long time.
"When a pop star wants a kid
They get a kid"
Ooof
My parents took me to Colorado for the first time the weekend this movie first aired. It started to snow just before the movie came on. I had never seen snow before. I didn't care. Zenon was on.
Well ....keep writing what happened next!?
Didn't even realize he was rocking the Zenon look until he said it. And it was extremely satisfying.
Officially gonna start putting “into horses and cybercrime” in my bio
“Business lingerie” had me rolling for like 10 minutes 😂
this whole movie takes place in 2049? i thought when zenon went to earth she time traveled to the 90s ahahaha.
Man, you've really done something amazing with this channel. You could make a video about anything and make it entertaining. You could just sit there and analyze War and Peace in its entirety and I'd probably still eat that shit up. It also looks like it's really fun for you to film these, which is another big plus. Keep it up!
Honestly every now and then, I sit around and my brain suddenly remembers "ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM MAKE MY HEART GO BOOM BOOM" It will be with me to i die.
Same with me. I never watched this movie but I first heard it in kindergarten, some boy kept singing that exact part and dancing around lol. Moose not lying with the 5 year old fans. I was waiting for him to cover the music part!
ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM
Imagine Blade Runner 2049 taking place in the Zenon world.
...wait... it doesn't?! Well, now I have to change my blade runner 2049 watch party theme.
Wait this is an alternate timeline where Luv is Zenon, Wallace is Protozoa, and Greg is K. Holy shit it all makes sense
@Bevvvy “You want the child, you get the child” still works with it too.
Ian, I love watching you find your voice and then find your other voice and then find your other voice and then find your other voice.
Gotta say, I love the way you match your vids with the same vibe as what you're reviewing! It really makes it special and worth watching all the way through ♡ great job man :)
"Do escorts have business lingerie?"
-Brutalmoose, 2020
Isn't everything they wear business...
@@McDADDyK i don't know how to respond to this
well do they?
@@tacticstonk4740 yes, they do.
Also; major and minor is just "high-key and low-key"
oh shit.... youre right.... the writers predicted at least one thing right
"High key, silence!"
I was 6 in 1999, totally into pop stars, and LOVED the 90s/Y2K aesthetic for the future, so as you can imagine Zenon made a huge impact on me. Zenon basically projected what I thought the new millennium was going to eventually look like. I really thought I would be able to travel to space and I loved how diverse, peaceful, and fun everything looked. then 9/11 happened and my dream of experiencing this future within my lifetime sadly faded away :')
Your videos are severely underrated. You put so much time and effort into editing and I thinks it's amazing. I've watched your videos for a couple years and all of them have such a cool style to them
I remember all the advertisements for the Zequel playing up the fact that the letter Z was hidden in every scene. I don't remember why that excited me.
This movie was on television while I was waiting for the Jiffy Lube guys to change the oil on my truck. The volume was low, and was nearly washed out by the constant hum of the nearby confectionery machines. Time was standing still.
Anyway, I wasn't sure it was a real movie until I watched this video. Thanks for the video.
I didn’t even question the outfit for a second
When you're so out of the loop you didn't realize ViewSonic is still often rated in the top 3 best monitor brands yearly.
Protozoa’s fashion sense is advanced for the 90’s and prehistoric for the universe of the movie
It’s early 2000’s AF
Holy shit, you nailed it
He kinda looks like a bootleg early 2000's Justin Timb
I remember being annoyed when I watched this as a kid, mostly because I wanted to see "cool girl does space stuff", but then so much of it takes place on earth.
I legit blocked out the entire part on earth
The sad truth of many a low budget film with an interesting premise
I recall being in High School when Zenon came out and my friends and I loved it, but it was kinda in a 'making fun of it' sort of way.
These DCOM reviews have become my favorites of yours, I hope you'll do more!
"You're a pop star and you want a child? You get the child."
oh no
I don't like where this going
yup
"Meanwhile on Epstein island"
the best friend character has slinkies holding her ponytails. anyone else noticed that.
Hey name is RAVEN you uneducate
I want more of these. I love these videos my man. The nostalgia is great.
I love your videos and the nostalgia it causes me
"You're a popstar, you want a child, you get the child"
Pretty accurate
The girl they replaced Raven-Symoné with was actually the girl from the movie The Color Of Frienship, which Disney always showed a couple times during Black History Month.
Good to know I guess
I think Three Dog is there, at least played by someone.
I am not joking, the movie is about Piper Dellums, sister of Three Dog VA, who had an White Afrikaans stayed with her.
She also played on Strange Days at Blake Holsey High and Life With Derek, too.
I remember that one, back when people actually wanted to improve race relations, unlike today.
