I lost it at “The two psychotic man-child protagonists performing an Italian opera at a helicopter leasing event.” I’ve never stepped back and thought about how truly absurd that scene is.

Surprised there isn't a video essay channel completely dedicated to comedy yet. So much to talk about.

The Other Guys is one of my favorite movies. The chemistry between Wahlberg and Ferrell always gets me.

"Imagine where you'd be in your career if you hadn't shot Derek Jeter!" classic

"Hot Rod" is another GREAT, smart dumb comedy. A movie that, Will Ferrell, turned down and Andy Samberg and the Lonely Island Co. took over. It's a weird great little movie that i enjoy immensely.

The Other Guys is one of the most underrated comedies of all time

I'VE WAITED SO LONG FOR AN ACCURATE DESCRIPTION OF THIS! So many of Adam McKay's jokes wouldn't work in other movies and I couldn't quite pin down how something could both be wildly stupid and incredibly smart.

"The Nina, the Pinta, the Santa Maria! I'll do you in the bottom while you're drinking Sangria!" Honest to God, Stepbrothers is one of the funniest movies ever made. Great video, man!

Danny McBride's introduction in This Is The End is incredible

I wish people appreciated ‘the other guys’ as much as I do. People slept man...

The Other Guys' intro has to be one of the greatest in comedy film history

Great read on McKay.
I remember the first time I watched Anchorman, and I just hated it with a vitrol.. Now I consider it one of the best comedies ever.
LOVE Step Brothers.

I'm so glad somebody gave McKay the praise he deserves. I have never seen an Adam McKay film I didn't enjoy greatly. Great video.

Ah, you left out the smartest dumb part of the Simpsons joke "Ow! They're defending themselves somehow!"

Thank you for making this! Adam Mckay is my favorite director and it's about time I saw a video essay about him!

I LOVED this video! The Step brothers scene was genius and I completely agree with you. The Other Guys is one of my favourite movies, but I've never really been able to explain why. Now I can!

Came here for the original fiction narrative, stayed for the video essays. Please don't stop making them. It was because of the essays that I became a patreon. Keep them coming.
