Big 1988 Breakdown

[@harley4230]

That rant about working from home... I felt that in my soul. I don't want to go back to pretending I'm interested in how well Janet's kids are doing in school.

[@dominickholmes3721]

Still one of my favorite Distracted Nerd videos.

[@ebonysuber5522]

ONE OF THE BEST CHANNELS ON KZbin!!!

The carny exemplifies the Jim Halpert quote "This is the smallest amount of power I've ever seen go to someone's head."

[@akrobakir]

How can this quality have only 12k subs?! Algorithm must be drunk…

[@chrisbrown4396]

As much as I'd love DN to hit a well deserved million subs and reap in the benefit of his hard work and awesome content, I kind of like the fact that this channel is still a hidden gem to us 10k loyal followers... And the rest of the Internet be damned!

[@DistractedNerd]

I agree. A million subs would be nice but I do like that I know people's names and no one is telling me to kill myself

I been working hard labor. It took me 4 years to find a work at home. Come to find out that I will have to go back to the office. Dont care of the perks. I don't want to drive 40 mins. Reason why I got a wah job. So yea I am going to bitting hands and heads

Lovitz leaning back into 'memories' is so funny, love that guy

[@bobbyindahood]

The rant about working from home 100% agree. It should be an option to work from home or at least give employees an option to exercise a hybrid model of working from work half the time. There are so many advantages to work from home for the employer, employee and environment. I guess the only reason why they want people back is to keep tabs to achieve maximum productivity and not have people attend interviews during work hrs is my theory.

Kings Quest 2/3 is just like Cavern of the Evil Wizard. One of those games where you can move around, but have to type in every action/interaction. Fun, until you spend 30 minutes typing in 200 different actions trying to figure out what the game wants you to do... I WISH the internet was around when I had that game.

9:15 Josh has a story that his bros won't believe, but Susan's got a bigger problem. Even if she doesn't get picked up for kidnapping, she now knows she got with a 13 year old boy. And it's not like anybody will believe her if she says he had the body of a 30 year old guy at the time.

Let's see this movie with the roles reversed and see what happens. But I'm more concerned about not being able to work from home when it makes no difference to the company but everything to you. I'm not gonna say it here but remember the end of office space?

[@dbestanime8148]

Tom Hanks is a legend 💯 also Still D.R.E. came out over a decade after the movie but still was a funny little gag 🤣

[@GaryOGarysGarage]

I get a sense of anger at these childhood movies. Maybe you should stick to more adult action movies.

[@Belisarious5-600]

Tom Hanks, once the wholesome lovable 80's actor, now another scary Hollywood weirdo who looks like he is part of some weird cult.

[@jvondd]

Great video! Also, I hate to be "that guy," but if you can make funny nitpicks about movies, so can I. Here's the thing about Susan dropping Josh off at home; they love each other and wouldn't want anything bad to happen to one another, and since Josh has shown to be a pretty good bullshit artist, I'm pretty sure the story he'd tell his parents and the cops is that he escaped from the kidnappers, found the first adult he could trust to help him get home, and that just happened to be Susan. But yeah, if Susan thinks Josh is going to give her a call in ten years, she's sorely mistaken and probably needs to seek some counseling.

[@quiettimegaming3642]

What’s funny is that even in the 80’s this movie could not have done with the genders reversed. I’m surprised _’they’_ haven’t come for BIG yet.

[@JacobDean88]

This movie has so many strange flaws... It's like a dark serial killer intense drama but with no serial killer, it wasn't intense, but it was actually dark. Oh Susan... Think of how close you came to multiple felonies and prison time..... And.... When Josh finally becomes an adult. Will it hit his mom that Josh was Josh's kidnapper....... Mind blown!!!!!
