Anchorman | Canadian First Time Watching | Movie Reaction | Movie Review & Commentary

[@sean437]

Did your version not have Baxter's subtitles? Those are the best. Baxter: Leave these people alone. They mean you no harm. Bear: We Bears are a proud race. They must pay for their intrusion. Baxter: On my journey I met one of your kind. His name was Katow-jo. We became friends. Bear: Katow-jo is my cousin. Go in peace. Baxter: I will tell tales of your compassion. Bear: Fare thee well, Baxter. You shall always be friend of the bears.

[@Fordo007]

I was so confused there weren't any subtitles in there watch, I thought they must just have always cut away for the youtube version.

[@mylescasey8914]

Sometimes, subtitles required for specific scenes are included in the overall film's subtitles; some people don't like subtitles, disable them and as a result, miss crucial dialogue in films

[@RustinChole]

Katow-jo 😂

[@Brad02K]

I recognise these subs but don’t remember seeing them in my last watch. For me it’s due to the fact that I watched a pirated version, the app always misses out any subtitles for most movies unless their turned on.

[@jksgameshelf3378]

I started running studio camera in a newsroom in the late 70's while I was in college and this movie brings back so many memories. Sometimes it's closer to real life than you might think. We had our male anchor and our sports anchor get in argument one night about something just before the final sign off story, and after they said good night with big smiles, they went to the newsroom and started beating the shit out of each other. Same anchorman got caught in a strip club one night and caused a local scandal, and a different anchor one night didn't say his name in the open because it was blank on the teleprompter. Good times.

Old era , Finland most productive comedy maker , started as news rooms worker , he even had a tiny role in a cop movie , before he started his own company . They had a talk show and were chain smoking (typical in 1970s TV) and next week they got package full of Camel tobacco ... thats how ads worked in ad free TV in 1970s

[@CChissel]

@@sparky6086 I guess it’s probably because the weatherman is a meteorologist, and the sports guys are usually pretty good with statistics and the like with analyzing players and teams. All the anchors have to do is read from a teleprompter.

[@Gwynbleidd66]

I was studying journalism and some lecturers shared a few similar stories, including cameraman lowering his pants just to fuck around with the female newslady while she was making an interview. They were talking mostly about the 90s, so I guess not much changed until then, I guess it's not happening that much anymore.

Also, the main cast filmed an entire music video for their version of Afternoon Delight, and it's funny as hell.

[@Travelinmatt1976]

This is one of those movies where you wonder how they ever managed to finish it. It had to be chaos the whole time.

[@pumkinheadfanvhsforever6087]

I think it was either an interview that was included in the special features or I seen somewhere later(maybe around ELF's release) that Will Ferrell is a big fan of The Mary Tyler Moore Show and his performance of Ron Burgundy was inspired by Ted Knight's Ted Baxter character off the show(Ron's dog Baxter was also named after the character). So yes Simone you are right in thinking of MTM show with the whole 70's setting.

[@broken927]

Joe Biden was so inspired by Ron Burgundy's reading off the teleprompter that he adopted the style as his own.

[@tremorsfan]

They actually shot so much footage for this movie that they ended up making a sequel out of the unused footage. It's called "Wake Up Ron Burgundy".

[@HelloMisterJAMWAH]

I thought this might have been it! There are scenes I don't remember like the vision of their married life. Maybe parts were cut internationally.

[@ProjectAchieva]

Came to the comments to say this. Wake up is basically a movie made of out takes..and it's pretty good and funny they where able to do that!

[@Raao1]

I highly recommend it. It very funny too.

[@CharlieBrown20XD6]

I love how that movie implies they all served in war together and Brick used to be their tough as nails commander lol

[@eddiebaker40]

I’ll never forget going on Christmas break from school, This was one of the last movies before social media where me and my friends all watched it on our own and when we came back everyone already had practically the entire movie memorized already.

[@ch44227]

This was Steve Carrell first major role. He was mostly known as a Daily Show Corespondent before this. I think the Office started the following year, and that almost was cancelled after the first season, but 40 year old virgin came out that summer and NBC gave the show another season.

[@joachimlarsen2k]

This movie is probably the hardest I've ever laughed while watching a comedy alone

[@timhibbard4226]

Supposedly the way this was filmed was that they would film the scenes as originally scripted and then they would film a ton of takes of them just riffing of the cuff. Hence the wonderfully chaotic hysterical mess that is this movie.

[@richieclean]

Yeah they have a name for that; "improvisational comedy".

[@zeezeezee7812]

OnlyFans?

[@Fedorevsky]

Yeah, like most comedies with comedians in them.

[@ReddwarfIV]

@@Fedorevsky when it's just improv, you get Ghostbusters 2016. Having a full script cut means you can add funny riffs where they'd actually improve the movie, and leave them out where they detract from it.

[@Fedorevsky]

@@ReddwarfIV Yes, a fully improvised movie is of course highly unusual. Especially if you hire lead comedians of the kind of caliber found in the Malebusters flick.

[@Boomer502CG]

a sign of a good comedy like this is it's quotability. Movies like Joe Dirt, Anchorman, Office Space etc, are not blockbusters, but always carry rewatch value. Notice how many memes you recognized because of this movie.

[@rygord101]

@@Chriswallace0405 no coz I've seen before on a couple other reaction channels and the reactor in one is confused as to why the bear is backing down to Baxter

[@jculver1674]

This is one of those movies that just gets funnier with repeated viewings. When I first saw it in the theater, I didn't really get it, it just seemed like the actors adlibbing a bunch of random stuff. But it made me laugh more with each viewing and now it's one of my all-time favorite comedies.

[@Mr_Incognito113]

Completely agree

[@PaulaBeckerdeSouza]

Oh my God.. I feel the exact same. I saw the movie as soon as it came out cause I liked Will Ferrell, but felt absolutely nothing. I just thought at the time that the movie was that bad. Then the more I watched, the more I liked it and the more I wanted to watch it again.. Now it's probably my favorite comedy off all time. I thought people always loved it from the first watching. xD

[@PurushaDesa]

What's amazing is that even before I knew what a _Kathryn Hahn_ was, they made that one line reading stick in my head for years. Early signs of genius.

[@smavtmb2196]

This movie is hilarious 😂 So happy you did this reaction Simone had a look of both sadness & total discust when poor Baxter went off the bridge. Even better was her joy seeing he was alive.

I hate to hear what Christina Applegate has been going through with her medical issues.

I believe Baxter the dog is named for Ted Baxter, the anchorman in the Mary Tyler Moore Show. That show is referenced at 10:42

[@johnwolfe7596]

This was such a refreshing comedy to watch in the theaters, but now there is so much media inspired by this movie. The talent, the direction, the atmosphere, the editing: lots of Anchorman is lightning in a bottle.

[@3DJapan]

Not the first time Christina Applegate played a news person on camera. For a while on Married With Children she had a job as a weather girl.

[@christopherdale1745]

Steve Carrell is the real star of the show, IMO. He steals every scene he's in. Although, my favorite line is Ron Burgundy's "I immediately regret this decision!"

[@Lewis9700]

9:45 - yes the anchorman on the Mary Tyler Moore show. His name was Ted Baxter, and Baxter was the name of Burgundy's dog

Hey Simone and George, great reaction! If you want another good period comedy with production from Judd Apatow, I would highly recommend also checking out Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, with John C.
