Back To The Future Pitch Meeting

Step inside the pitch meeting that led to Back to the Future!

Back to the Future, starring Michael J. Fox and Christopher Llyod as Marty McFly and Doctor Emmett Brown is an absolute cinematic classic and regarded as one of the best movies of all time. It spawned two sequels, countless memes, and remains an incredibly popular film to this day.

Back to the Future does raise some questions though. Like how is Doc Brown so lovable while also being so sketchy (animal testing, dealing with terrorists...) Why is this movie so focused on Marty’s mom trying to seduce him? Is this really a family movie? How did Doc and Marty even meet? Why did Doc flip-flop on his passionate speech about not learning things about the future? What happened to the Marty from the new timeline that “our” Marty replaces?!

To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Back to the Future! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Movie title: _So Anyway Now That Marty's Ensured That His Parents Are Gonna Procreate He Has To Go Back To the Future_ ... COMING THIS SUMMER 1985.

[frocat]

"Then his father's gonna come in and beat him off..."

That was an incredibly uncomfortable line.

[MareTranquil]

Doc Brown: "It is horrendously dangerous to know things about the future! It could result in all sorts of disastrous paradoxes!"
Also Doc Brown: Spends 30 years of his life inventing a time machine

[DarkAutumnD]

"He's gonna pretend to force himself on his own mother and then his father's gonna come in and beat him off and that's really gonna impress the mom and then she's gonna wanna hook-up with him instead of her own son..." 😂😂😂

[ISAACThBro]

It's just hilarious that the title "Spaceman From Pluto", was an ACTUAL TITLE SUGGESTION from a studio executive😂😭

[ArtsFatty]

"Hey Ryan! You know that new video idea you're looking for?"

* holds up phone to John Mulaney's stand-up *

As someone named Scott, thank you for noticing how tight we are Ryan. Noticing people are tight is TIGHT!

[ThatMadCat]

They're gonna remake Back To The Future? Greedy bastards.

[bruno]

"oh I incest, no insist!"
nice touch there

[shaunwatson]

"Tom Holland Confirms 'Back to the Future' remake talks have happened"
NO

[michaelsong]

"Now that Marty's ensured that his parents are gonna procreate, he has to go back to the future."
"That's the title of the movie!"
"That last part of the sentence is, yeah. Not the whole sentence."
Can you imagine if it was the whole sentence?

[AnarchyIHDI]

Who is Larry he looks familiar, can't put my finger on it though!

[QuidamByMoonlight]

“He’s going to pretend to force himself on his own mother...” “im just going to go...I incest—insist!” I’m dead! 😂

[amura]

"Like assaulting his wife.."
"Yea quite the character.."
Man this guy really gets laughs outta me lol

[caseytodd]

For everyone who is wondering in the comments, Robert Zemeckis owns the necessary rights to BTTF and has gone on record more than once saying... "As long as I'm still living, we will never remake or reboot Back to the Future." So rest easy.

Robert Zemeckis... wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wowowowow...

[nicholasjohnson]

I'm really glad he credited John Mulaney because ever since I heard his stand up about Back to the Future, I wondered if Ryan saw it before making this series

[mikekatchowski]

It's so nice to finally see that Ryan finally made this. He has said in interviews that his motivation for this series was John Mulaney's joke about pitching this movie so it's really cool to finally see this episode

[davidwells]

I just realized, if they remade this today, Marty would go back 30 years....to the far, distant year I saw the original in the the theatre when I was 13. I am SO old.

"We're going to remake Back to the Future."
"Please don't."
"Oh, OK, should I just burn this script then?"
"Yes! Please do."
