Dude absolutely nailed the Truman Show comparison.
Except that the police officer genuinely believes in what he is saying because he doesn’t know another life, and isn’t trying to manipulate Guy.
You must not have seen the end of the movie, because Dude isn't that smart. [EMOJI] [VERB] [ADJECTIVE].
Its more like star trek next gen.s holodeck aware ai (forgot the name of it) episode. They were playing a Conan Doyle story and one of the "unplayable characters" got aware. Even escaped holodeck if memory serves but not betting on that last one(😅🤷🏻♀️😁)
They even have similar catchphrases that have to do with days. "Don't have a good day, have a great day!"
"Good morning, good evening, and good night" (not sure is that one's right, but at least close, might be afternoon)
Not even the first “coincidentally similar” film. RE:Serenity.
Love the Truman show comparison. This movie also borrowed quite a bit from Wreck-it Ralph.
...and don't forget The Lego Movie! Still lots of fun though - saw it twice! : )
Let me get this straight: You comment something that is unrelated to the fact that I have two HEAVENLY HANDSOME girlfriends? Considering that I am the unprettiest CZcamsr ever, having two handsome girlfriends is really incredible. Yet you did not mention that at all. I am quite disappointed, dear arc
The main thing they used to promote this movie was that it was original but it is just a copy of much cooler movies
And Westword.
Unmm, things they borrowed from Truman show like... saying polite things in the norning... you do realize outside of Hollywood people actually do stuff like this.
I laughed out loud at that backhanded Disney comparison! "I know that sounds like they're making a critique, but trust me, IT'S A CONFESSION." 😂🤣
How is that a confession? I don’t get this joke
@@Ganghamstelty because it's basically a copy
ok they took gta, the truman show, then mixed the marvel, along with bunch of reference that you already like, and showed it to you and you liked it even more
@@Ganghamstelty they gave everything u recognised instead of creating something original like the reference of marvel n star wars
@@cypher1133 Also, TRON. There are many similarities.
I know Ryan Reynolds is just playing himself but i do enjoy most of his movies. They're not masterpieces of film but they're always enjoyable for the most part
Thats because of the brain cell shortage
@@cynicalsandw_o it's a crime to tell the "mainstream general public" that their fantasy world of rainbows is fantasy. Our cult will longer provide you the protection you once deserved
@@cynicalsandw_o 100%
@@cynicalsandw_o so watching a movie is an exam now? i thought movie is a way to reduce brain cell?
@@apetogetherstrong4243 Literally the point of movies is entertainment, just let people enjoy what they enjoy, and you go watch your documentaries about how the worlds gunna end and how the elite want to eat us.
He didn't create a version of his crush in the game, he created a version of his obsessiveness in the game that also loves his crush.
Exactly. It’s less “sexbot” and more “journals from Se7en”
Yeah, I have no idea how that error got past the video editor.
His crush is Ryan Reynolds. If I knew programming I'd also do the same
@@escailyhale2490 ya know what? Valid.
@@escailyhale2490 no argument :)
That Truman show comparison was amazing and just so perfectly set up.
Yep. I really had no idea, but the comparisons are striking.
After watching Free Guy, I wanted to rewatch the Truman Show to find the similarities.
Wait, was that the Jim Carrey movie it was cutting away to?
@@janderson2375 yes
Agreed. I never got past thinking The Lego Movie meets Ready Player One. Terminal lack of imagination on my part.
That "Albuquerque boiled turkey" line by Taika had me in stitches for a while!
I still think that was so clever!
In Russian, for it to rhyme, they said "Boiled sausages from Alaska" (Zharennie sosiski s Alyaski)
Ryan Reynolds is like Will Smith, Dwayne Johnson, they play themselves in every movie, but somehow, I am still entertained every time I see them.
Robert Downey Jr......
Vin Diesel, Jean-Claude Van Damme.
Whoa now don’t bring will smith into this lol 😆
Ryan has some standout roles like in Smokin Aces and Mississppi Grind.
Will Smith??? 6 Degrees of Separation? Men in Black? The Pursuit of Happiness? IRobot? He doesn't just play himself.
I watched this at home with my dad. When Chris Evans popped up, I have never heard him laugh so hard. And the Avengers music clip sold the deal. That's a cameo Stan would be proud of.
I saw this in theaters with my brother and he hasn't reacted like that since Endgame so it was great to see
Agreed - I nearly spat out my drink 😂😂
It was the only joke in the movie that actually made me laugh
Literally the same thing happened with my Dad
Compare this to Westworld
Free Guy is basically a prequel to The Matrix where the AI is learning how to code humanity.
The prequel to matrix is I robot
@@LuisSierra42 I thought the prequel to Matrix was Westworld
The prequel to the matrix is my new 'robot' vacuum cleaner.
Considering the meta-game themes I was expecting a Resurrections joke somewhere.
@@John73John That works too but the robots in I robot look more similar to those in The Second Renaissance
Hearing Dan be called "Um, that one" gave me a special kind of pain.
Poor guy, he needs more love.
Same, I felt like my childhood was being disrespected
Yes this exactly
Yeah that hurt a bit...
He just kept going even after he died...
I honestly don't know what he does these days
26 million subscribers and he gets called “that one”. That was painful to watch.
Sometimes it sucks being old, and sometimes I'm glad to remember I got to see the Truman Show in a theater. Such a fantastic movie.
I pirated it once and it was goddamn brilliant.
It was great in the theater. Saw it at the Cineramadome. Saw 'the cable guy' there too. A much better movie than many people think.
That end credit laugh of “mwahahaha” is down right the best I’ve heard
Gave me chills.
it satisfies me
I loved how he said "It's that thing from that other thing I liked" kinda referencing Ryan George's Pitch Meetings. Ironic.
Oh gosh yes! I wonder if they just imbibed it or did that on purpose?? Lol
4:58 I was like, "wait, they have those keys, keys, keys commercials in other states?" 😂🤣
Ngl, I died a little inside when he didn’t recognise DanTDM
who?
I thought this movie was going to be bad. But I was pleasantly surprised. I really liked it.
Same here. It's actually a really fun movie. I've watched it more than once.
I know right. I'm surprised that I like everything he's created so far.
No, it was bad.
Ryan Reynolds personality perfectly suits this movie.
I loved this movie. It was cute and the pandemic was shitty. More smiley stuff, please.
The premise of sentient NPCs is always a f[bleep]ing dystopia, when you think of it, no matter how much man-candy they coat it with. Most of my inner monologue during the movie was some variation of "creating an entire person with the capacity of independent thought in a fake world they can't escape but have the capacity of knowing their own fakeness, and spreading that capacity, and all this because you couldn't spit it out to the girl you liked - that's pretty fucking cruel."
Welcome to cosmic nihilism...
Both of you completely missed Sword Art Online Alicization then, it tackled this subject & more
There are several episodes of Black Mirror exploring this concept.
Westworld you say?
*Looks at god*
Wow, Voice Guy, your evil laugh rivals that of Disney villains! (the good ones, I mean)😁
"Keys, Keys, Keys, Keys in Free Guys!"
Me, a girl from the LA area: 🤣
Absolutely nailed this dude 👍
2:42 That's DAN TDM you plebe!
Who?
@@danielciocilteu3545"You uncultured swine!"
"Only people in LA are gonna get this..." Yes. But you made us feel part of something for half a second.
Didn't get that one
Thank you for the Emmet comment. Def felt this movie was a live action version of The Lego Movie.
I just recently showed my 11-year old daughter her first honest trailer (Encanto gets played pretty frequently at my house) and she really wants to hear you say “balls” :)
I swear ryan reynolds is just playing himself in every movie he is in
Edit: and i dont think thats a bad thing! Love his personality!
agreed. he’s very likeable but extremely lazy and one day the formula won’t work and then what? he’s really painting himself into a corner.
@@sammysoppy3361 probably more Deadpool movies just to keep the paychecks coming in.
@@sammysoppy3361 He's "painting himself into a corner" with giant heaps of money. Oh dear, whatever shall he do?
Yea, it's like they cast Ryan Reynolds for every Ryan Reynolds movie... :)
he is since van wilder. He was Deadpool way before Deadpool.
a funny honest trailer and a solid critique of the movie. well done.
@Robert Monroe he’s probably waiting for it to come on digital
Haven't watched the trailer yet,curious about the solid critique comment,i was just reading the comments, usually he just kind of puts movies down in a offhand way,I will watch it.
@@devilchilde8957 he?
@@thelorddrinian Oh no, pronoun police?
@@Heathcoatman what are you talking about?
3:12 omgGGG FR
I saw this for the first time in VR with no real context going in. The sense of irony was not lost on me while watching.
When you compared it to “Truman Show” it became painfully clear that most modern movies are very shallow parodies of what real movies used to be. Truman Show is not a perfect movie but has a lot of heart.
Yea I was going to say that. This film is just a parody of the gaming industry from years ago. Most people don't really care about that. The Truman show had a main character that was well developed and you went on the journey with him.
i mean at some point youve just done everything that can be done
Truman Show is a straight masterpiece! How dare you!
the truman show is a horror movie without the required soundtrack... try it.
@@shadowgame0630 That's why is so hard to make a good horror, most people have seen it all before, The Ring was a good exception imo, Japanese horror is on another level.
I didn't realize how much the in-game story was just the Truman Show again. But the real-world story is basically a stealth Tron 3.
Haven't seen Free Guy yet, but I'm assuming it doesn't have ISOs in it. Which means Tron 3 doesn't have ISOs in it. Which is awesome!!
Can we please get a classic thrown in every once in awhile? I'd kill to hear you critique Thelma and Louise!
They do it for summer blockbusters
Right when you said, "Keys Keys Keys Keys In Free Guys," I thought, "That's a pretty LA-centric joke. Does Keys on Van Nuys have national advertising?"
Well done.
I tried to tell people that Free Guy was a video game version of the Truman Show...I tried. Thank you, Screen Junkies.
Ehhh. There are some similarities, sure, but the Truman Show was deliberately designed all about a real person and his created life. Free City has a bunch of NPCs who aren't (in the version that people actually play) supposed to have a life, and Guy is supposed to have a very small part in the entertainment.
@@timmyhkvt Bro, did even know what NPC meant Truman show came out? This is pretty much video game copy of that movie.
@@LessPegasus Again, no, it isn't. The Truman Show was all about Truman, and everyone around him was an actor deliberately contributing to the illusion. Free City is far bigger than Guy, and his fellow NPCs are unconsciously living their routines. Those are just two of the big differences here.
@@timmyhkvt All right, then a copy of bunch of things.
@@LessPegasus Try finding anything that’s not.
Was not expecting a Thoroughly Modern Millie reference, but yeah, it was just too perfect.
same
I don’t get it
@@jktejik Then Internet it.
@@jktejik Thoroughly Modern Millie is a musical
@02:53 "...a way to outsource the steroids to someone else's body" 🤣🤣
That muhuhahaha at the end was really...
...
...well...long overdue.
And nicely done.
The keys keys keys keys in free guy joke is hilarious 😂
I can’t tell you how much that jingle lives rent free in my head. I quote it way too much.
I haven't lived in L.A. for over 20 years but I immediately had childhood flashbacks-love being part of an in joke
I love that he laughs while explaining the joke🤣
I don't live there anymore either, but whenever I see the back of my car.... Hint I bought it at Keyes
I absolutely loved the Keys on Van Nuys joke, and the call out to who will only get it.
Exactly!!!! Grew up in LA moved farther north and still listen to 93.1 on Audacy when I can
Me too!
Someone explain please
@@jjfrenzy789 there’s a car dealership that has a jingle that goes Keys Keys Keys Keys on Van Nuys
I was like, "wait, they have keys, keys, keys commercials in other states?" 😂
the main problem i have with free guy is they said that there isnt a button to kiss people in the game yet she kisses him in the game to solve a problem what did they just change it for convenience or something
It's the power of LOVE i guess. That was one of the few flaws that annoyed me. Which is weird, because it wouldn't have if they hadn't mentioned it was impossible, I wouldn't have cared.
I just got done with this movie and I noticed it too. If she had just asked him to kiss her, it wouldn't have bothered me.
It's very siimple. NPCs exist in the game and so (if they are free and start to develop their own actions) can interact with it in wayas humans can't just do by pressing buttons.
@@lordbuss yeah, that's the whole point- they even point out how there isn't an actual kiss button. But then she kisses him. Using the nonexistent kiss button that they pointed out isn't there
Please keep the SoCal commercial references coming! You can do Call Worthington ( and his dog Spot), Toyota of Orange (no, you won't get a lemon) and then to TV commercials like Larry H Parker, Crazy Gideon, etc) This will be my favorite video to remember just based on this relatively obscure reference!
Don't know if any of you know this, but Ryan Reynolds actually personally knows Jackcepticeye and invited him to be on the movie!
Who?
Cares?
Nice
@@RickCicchini go outside
Oh yeah, I remember Jack actually played the Deadpool video game with him during an interview
Pleasantly surprised at the Keys on Van Nuys jingle quip.
Heard that jingle lots of times whilst listening to KNX 1070.
I heard the "Keys Keys Keys" joke and I thought *wow, this honest trailer guy is talking to me ... ... and the ~14 million people in SoCal who grew up with this*
I haven't lived in LA in 10 years, and that jingle is a core memory in my brain.
Same with "Where you won't get a lemon"
@@idkalan00 at Toyota of Orange!
@@idkalan00 Don't forget about Cal Worthington.
@@babybirbs and his dog Spot!
"But outside she's... still Jodie Comer"
Perfect description 👍
Doing a comparison with "The Truman Show" shows the mastery of its director Peter Weir and its cinematographer Peter Biziou. I now realize a problem I had with "Free Guy": it looks flat. Putting it next to "The Truman Show", you can see the difference. It has more color and depth.
I spent a big part of the movie wanting to tell Guy: "Don't fall in love with her. She's Villanelle, she's an assasin. This is just one more of her fake identities!"
Lol I'm catching up to the season 4 of Killing Eve and I'm even more in love with Villanelle than Millie. Jodie Comer kills it in everything.
@@WilliamButtlicker literally kills it, specially in 'Killing Eve'
@@lucasgagliardi433 ikr, what an absolute darling.
@@lucasgagliardi433 still hasn't killed Eve after all this time, though.
Let's be honest a lot of us would fall regardless of what fake identity villanelle is going for atm 😂😂
He is literally Van Wilder in every movie. This guys team is unmatched.
are they tho? cause eventually ryan playing ryan will get old and his ppl aren’t helping him here
Yes. Agreed
Tom Cruise says hi.
@@sammysoppy3361 it's been old. He's the same guy in literally everything
@@yonbonbonbon He changes things up in his lesser known films like "Buried", "The Nines", "Mississippi Grind", "The Voices", and "Finders Fee". The problem is he gets type-casted because it's an easy pull for audiences.
Alright, at 4:05 the detail of one of the programmers having a ThinkGeek Bag of Holding laptop bag is...really good.
"It's that thing from the other thing that I like... WHOAAA" - just killed me 😂
He perfected his signature quiping for the movie "Waiting".
He's been playing Monty from "Waiting" for over 15 years now.
Yet whenever he tried to do something different serious wise, he never got the attention, now people are getting tired of him of comedy? Ironic
"I like you, Monty."
Van wilder started it all
You're all wrong. Macro from The Odyssey started it.
You're all wrong still. Berg from
'Two Guys a Girl and a Pizza Place' started it all
Reynolds was also Pikachu that was omitted in a slew of his previous roles.
Plus, the comparison to Carrey in the Truman show is that both Reynolds and Carrey played popular 90s created characters in live action video game roles for competing companies.
Cough* both very successful Canadian comedians too cough*
The goddamn Keyes on Van Nuys jingle is going to be stuck in my head. It's like the 20teens all over again!
Ryan is slowly turning into Steven Seagal. He soon will be saying he was called first when Brandon Lee was murdered.
Keys: There’s not a button for that.
Milly: Oh, he found the button.
My favourite quote.
What country are you in
They did a good job with the video game writing side of things, only the occasional "high score" type joke that betrays that the last time the writer played a video game was in 1978. The way the game was presented was also good, it looked like a modern game, not too realistic but also didn't look like it was from 1991.
If only they didn't think video games were exclusive to the most popular Twitch streamers who have no business being in any movie whatsoever. Every time they had them on it was extremely cringeworthy
Man that evil laugh at the end credits was the best I've heard!
chillss
THANK YOU 💯💯💯💯 for pointing out that this was a remake of "The Truman Show"!!!!
I enjoyed them both, but 30 minutes in I was thinking "Where's Ed Harris?!?!" 💯🤣
I can't believe Ryan cheated on Epic Voice Guy. I was parasocially invested in this relationship, I'm shaking rn.
Hey, I got the "Keys, Keys, Keys in Free Guy" reference. I haven't lived in LA since 2007, but that jingle will be with me until death.
Exactly what I've been saying all along - it's the Truman show but with computer games.
Just like Ready Player One is Charlie and The Chocolate Factory but with computer games.
That LA area joke 😂 I see you screen junkies!
👉🏽😉👉🏽
That split screen with the Truman show killed me…🤘🤣👍
That Epic Voice Laugh at the end quote was just perfect!
This is a good HT. We missed these... thanks.
Keyes on Van Nuys guys...This LA Guy defo got that, and chuckled- i thank you.
The keys on van nuys reference then callout made my day
I was confused that this Honest Trailer came out an hour earlier (5pm vs the usual 6pm time in the UK) and for a while I started thinking this was a bonus video on a different day.
Then I realised USA clocks must have changed this week whereas ours in the UK don’t change for another few weeks.
Yeesh. And I thought it was bad enough not every state did daylight savings. We can't even keep it consistent on an international scale?
Nailed it in one.
@@BonaparteBardithion we should just stop doing daylight savings at all. All hassel, no (substantial) benefit...
What is Daylight Savings
I honestly loved the movie and the entire Honest Trailer skit was pretty funny but I swear I am dropping a like on this video for that ending evil laughter alone!
These hit pieces are hilarious. Even when (perhaps especially when) it's a good entertaining movie, like Free Guy. A hit piece on a stinker (like The Last Jedi) is just going after low hanging fruit, which I also enjoy
I ABSOLUTELY loved that last statement! Especially the "Muahahahaha!"
This movie was funny and seeing Chris Evans reaction to seeing Ryan Renolds using his shield was great.
He really does seem to do the same character in every movie with slight differences but it never gets old
I disagree, it is getting old. The only difference between movies is wardrobe, dialogue and interactions are identical.
@@adamself2463 yeah I stopped watching his movies. I just got bored with the same old schtick.
He changes things up in his lesser known films like "Buried", "The Nines", "Mississippi Grind", "The Voices", and "Finders Fee". The problem is he gets type-casted because it's an easy pull for audiences.
It's so old it's molding.
*Looks at tickets sold* Hmm. Looks like its only sourpusses on the internet that thinks its old. lol I kid but seriously, the only time i really see anyone not liking Ryan is on the internet. For those who are tired... May I recommend another Ryan? Last Name: George? Or would that be pretty hard to do?
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dude, I am totally in shock right now 😲.
Okay, so I never saw *Free Guy* in theaters. Last week I saw it was on Disney+ and since *Lil Rel* was in it, I watched it. I don't play modern video games and don't get most of the references, but still LOVED this movie! There was something familiar about it that pulled me in; an almost nostalgic magic. I watched it TWICE! And now after watching this brilliant *Honest Trailer,* I understand my love for *Free Guy* is because *it IS basically a remake of my beloved The Truman Show!!!* 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
That jingle forever haunts me... KEYES KEYES KEYSES.... ON VAN NUYS!!!! never will forget it.
Jodie Comer was criminally underused in this!
Also, Can we have a HT for Killing Eve please?
For the 50th anniversary of the release of The Godfather, say "Now listen--whoever comes to you with this Barzini meeting, he's a traitor. Don't forget that."
For the Epic Voice Guy:
It was so awesome to meet you at TFCon LA 2022! 😭😍
That is some of the best villainous laughter I've ever heard. More, more!
I couldn't help but see white Kirito and Asuna in the later half of the movie lol.
Also I love how she breaks the games controls to give Guy a kiss ( was stated earlier that there were no options for such inputs, but she did so anyway lol).
I don't want to hear complaints about video game logic from someone talking about SAO lol.
For William Hurt, say "It's too late. I don't think I can get it out of me anymore. I can't live with it. The pain is too great."
Love those bits at the end
I'm from LA, and that joke is from a TV ad from a car dealership in Van Nuys its so old 😭🤣🤣
How did no one think to have EVG say "Don't have a good day, Have a GREAT Day!" in his super awesome voice!?
Please say “Bad times don’t last, but bad guys do.” R.I.P. Scott Hall

If you can do a Dr. Claw impression, please say "I'll get you next time, Gadget! NEXT TIIIME!"
Bonus points for adding a tonally inappropriate meow sound effect afterwards.
Aye
Now that you've pointed it out, the similarities to The Truman Show seem so obvious. 🤯
And The Lego Movie. Right down to the waking up happy in his pajamas and going out into the world and having a great day. Then sees an alterna-chick and falls in love instantly and comes to realize that she's there to help him discover he's "the one" who will save the world they live in by being different.
Love to see star trek DISCO trailer. Wont even have to dig for material that hard.
that laugh ('muahahaha') was so perfect oml
OMG! I knew something about this movie was tickling my brain but I couldn't put my finger on it. It's a modern day Truman show. I can't believe how blatant it is now that I know. Lmao
*Please do already an honest trailer for the movie "Idiocracy"!*
Just watch the news.
@@asparapee4213 I'd rather not do that. Reality often is (too) disappointing.
Perfect.
Thanks for the video
So...how is it possible that there still isn't a SINGLE Rambo trailer after all these years? Seriously, how is that possible?
I didn't notice it too
Make it all in one in one go
Please say, “Welcome to the next level.”
