[@AlienDenzil85]

When they're in the cemetery and Zoolander asks "Why male models?" twice, Ben Stiller had forgotten his line and so improvised by repeating his previous line. I react much the same way you both do every time I see that scene - it's hilarious!

[@thesyndrome43]

I love how Duchovny responds in-character, whatever the next line would have been it couldn't have been funnier than his deadpan delivery of incredulity

[@jlinkous05]

It's an acting tool. It takes a ton of time to stop and restart shooting and blocking. Stiller forgot his line and began again at the start, which is the signal for the other actors to repeat the lines, and they'll edit it in post. But David improved about already telling him, and they kept it.

[@AlienDenzil85]

@@jlinkous05 I hadn't realised it was an acting tool. Thanks for letting me know, Duchovny's improvised line is definitely even funnier now that I know the background to Ben Stiller's repeating the line.

[@rahbeat9785]

I learned alot today.

[@JackRabbitSlim]

But why male models?

[@thesyndrome43]

"DOES NOBODY ELSE NOTICE THIS?! I FEEL LIKE I'M TAKING CRAZY PILLS!" that line lives rent-free in my head, Will Ferrell does the perfect tone to emphasize the frustration of feeling like everyone is ignoring something so obvious

[@fredfredburger5150]

for me it's "so hot right now"

[@azraelmacool3194]

Me too, I say it all the time

[@m.hunterstevie2081]

That whole rant Will Ferrell makes in the climactic scene just kills it for me, between the crazy pills and the “I invented the piano key necktie. What have you ever done, Derek?” The writing combined with Will’s commitment in delivery… he just lets loose completely~! Also, OBEY MY DOG~! 😆

[@jhuisenga6022]

I was scoping out a gal on FB dating earlier tonight, and she had 4 pics that were all the exact same pose (different outfits), except the last one, which was just slightly different. All I could think was Blue Steel, Blue Steel, Blue Steel, Blue Steel.... MAGNUM!

[@timhibbard4226]

Jerry’s wife and Ben’s mom, actress Anne Meara was in this too. She plays the egg throwing protestor in that first red carpet scene. Sadly, she passed away since this movie came out.

[@carlosrvra]

I still love how the hand-model conspiracy character is smarter than Derek because he’s not a full model, but still just a little dumb (messing up the “thread” line… trying to pick up the thing with his hyperbolic hand). And PERFECT casting with David Duchovny from X-Files 😂

[@tomkruze1304]

This is the best use of Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller in any film, perfect roles for them. All the supporting actors kill it too, especially Godfrey pretending to be Zoolander in black face disguise 😂

[@mojoshivers]

“It's that damn Hansel! He's so hot right now!” This might be the best Ben Stiller movie ever, but it’s definitely the most quotable. Great pick, you guys.

its a toss up between this and tropic thunder

[@30noir]

Obey my dog!

[@mojoshivers]

@@djaskfjkasd I love Tropic Thunder, but this will always be my favorite Stiller film. Tropic Thunder feels more ensemble based even while Stiller is the lead, but this feels definitely like a total Stiller showcase.

[@JH-lo9ut]

Yeah, these jokes are not made up out of nothing. Whomever wrote this has some real experience, or they really did their research. That said, it's not like modeling is the most secret and esteemed profession. It's dudes wearing clothes and posing for pictures. It is as dumb and simple as it seems.

[@merchillio]

I love that the main character(s) aren’t just stupid to be stupid, their stupidity is a main element of the plot, with Mugatu pointing it out how ridiculous it is at the end. I just live this movie, it looks like they had so much fun doing it

[@tremorsfan]

This movie was the first big release after 9/11. Some people said it was bad timing, but I felt like I needed a laugh after everything.

[@jasonlane1528]

I was about to post this exact thing. Good comment.

[@johnmorris8444]

“Don’t do it Derek, I’ve heard things about this kid. He’s limber.” “Put a cork in it Zane!” This movie is so quotable. I used to work at a video store when this came out and I’ve probably seen it 80 times. Was always one of the go to movies to put on.

[@ohadm6038]

Listen to your friend Billy Zane. He’s a cool dude. He’s trying to help you out.

[@davidanderson1639]

David Duchovny as the conspiracy theory obsessed hand model was a genius bit of casting.

[@MrDevintcoleman]

You know someone is a true legend when they’re in one scene and it’s one of the most memorable moments. I’m referring, of course, to Bowie. Timelessly cool.

You can tell when Simone finds something really funny cos her laugh becomes more deranged, it's great. The comedy reactions on this channel do genuinely lift my mood even when I think that can't be done. So thank you to you two.

[@donaldmcclurejr.494]

The actor who played Zoolander when he had to change his appearance to the black janitor is Godfrey! He's a comedian and actor as well.(The guy that George said was amazing due, to him showing off his pouting lips.) Keep going with your movie reactions, CineBinge.

[@sargentocapitao9668]

wait you know Godfrey's name but you don't now the name of the actor who played Zoolander? not even judging bro, its just unusual

[@donaldmcclurejr.494]

@@sargentocapitao9668 no I know the actor Ben Stiller. I just called him Zoolander because of the character he was portraying in the film.

[@livinginvancouverbc2247]

5:07 Zoolander looking into the puddle is of course a homage to the classical tale of Narcissus of who fell in love with own image in a pond of water, thereby... OUCH!?!??! Who threw that?!??

[@JoeD0403]

Reactions are the essence of reaction videos, and reaction videos are the essence of Cinebinge.

[@EQSATUB]

The stealthiest joke of the film is the fact Will Ferrell’s character is named Mugatu, which was a creature in one of the most bizarre episodes of Star Trek (“A Private Little War”). Stiller has copped to being a massive Star Trek fan.

[@torchmark66]

Yes! And his character design is even based on that creature.

[@thedernboy]

they def need to put HEAVYWEIGHTS on their list, its another Ben Stiller classic the amount of energy he puts into his characters is amazing!!!

[@TomVCunningham]

HEAVYWEIGHTS is great. Tony Perkis is clearly the prototype for White Goodman in DodgeBall.

[@XOTheHosttt]

This movie is amazingly intelligent, not only because the obvious humor. But more because the real/hidden message that the movie is sharing about the industry.

[@MasterBetty69]

One of the most quotable movies of all time. Still do daily to this day. I don't care what anyone says, Ben Stiller will always be one of the all time greats. When it comes to comedy bro has done it all

[@Cheepchipsable]

The hand model in the cemetery explaining the conspiracy is David Duchovny, who came to fame as Mulder in the X-Files, which was about conspiracy theories. Frankie Goes To Hollywood was a techno pop band who had a big hit with the songs "Relax", "Two Tribes" an "The Power of Love" in the 1980's. Ben Stiller grew up around Hollywood entertainment types and based some of his characters on the people in the industry he met who took themselves super seriously.

[@Vohaul86]

"I feel like I've taken crazy-pills!" probably my favorite line in the movie, and watching news etc. I feel like that surprisingly often. Legendary movie. =)

[@danilopapais1464]

Derek Zoolander makes Simple Jack look like a genius.

[@maximillianosaben]

@@sophiamarchildon3998 - Enjoy the bug up your ass.

[@stuntmonkey00]

So movie was released in 2001 after a certain event. They had to digitally take out a reminder in the skyline... it was an awkward time. I remember laughing, but it was kind of during that time when you were asking yourself "is it okay to be laughing?" And then over the years after many many many rewatches, it just got funnier and funnier.

[@Inferryu]

I only knew about the spiderman one, I didn't know Zoolander did it too. Still, to me, the craziest coincidence of that skyline was in Deus-Ex.

[@cameronb851]

18:00 - Fun fact, when Stiller repeated, "But why male models?" of Duchovny's character the second time, that wasn't scripted. Stiller had forgotten his next line and just repeated his last one, hoping that if Duchovny repeated his response again, by the end of the second loop Ben might have remembered what was next and saved them all from having to break and reset for the scene, but Duchovny's off the cuff puzzled reply about having just told Ben why, actually fitted the comedy of the scene so well, it was kept as part of the film.

[@Thom1212]

I was so happy they were able to bring in David Bowie to judge the walk-off.

The role of Hansel was written with Owen Wilson in mind. Nobody else was ever even considered for the role.

[@richardb6260]

Will Farrell's character's name, Mugatu, is from a creature from the original Star Trek series. It resembles a white gorilla with spines on its back. Stiller is a huge Star Trek fan and owns props from the original TV series.

[@effluviah7544]

I'm so glad this movie is getting popular again, it's one of my all time faves! :)

[@effluviah7544]

[@theaikidoka]

Like Tropic Thunder, this movie effortlessly pulls off a blackface joke, without being derogatory or mean-spirited. When I saw this on release in the cinema, everybody puckered in anticipation of how bad it could be when Derek brings out the makeup, then the release of tension was great, genuine belly laughs watching the other actors lip-synch so well. It's also surprisingly gentle - even Derek's 'eew' at Matilda's previous weight is only because he's too stupid to realise that you aren't supposed to be mean to others just because they are different. It's a comedy you can show to a wide audience and they all find a different part funny - that's real writing skill.

[@Chris-ci8vs]

But it's not blackface in this.

[@Macdelaven]

Every time someone drags me to a Starbucks, I always ask if they are ordering an "orange mocha frappuccino". Great reactions.

[@namco003]

One of my friends is the black janitor comedian Godfrey(Had a viral clip doing Steve Harvey impression). I'd never seen this movie but after working with him a few years, he told me he was in it, as I didn't even know. This is actually the first time seeing him in it LOL! He also has a part in Soul Plane w/ Snoop. ❤

[@user-vf3wk2nw9d]

I will never forget the first time I saw this movie, never heard of it before and I was on a cross-Atlantic flight to London. I was laughing so hard the people on the plane were probably so angry at me but I couldn’t help it.

[@JackMValentine]

Unironically my favorite comedy of all times and one of my favorite movies overall. Very unfortunately released a few weeks after the attacks on New York, got so lost in the shuffle of sadness and anger. I must have been one of the few people to see the sequel, it wasn't as solid a movie but it was still enjoyable.

[@JuryRigged]

I still haven't seen the sequel. The time gap between the two really hurt it.

[@onemariobro]

The second movie is a train wreck, but one you can’t stop looking

[@xcmvp2007]

The latte scene. I don't know what it was supposed to be or what those two were communicating, but it's just the best scene.

[@JH-lo9ut]

That dynamic of the eccentric, abusive gay fashion designer going off on some mundane detail and taking it out on his submissive younger assistant... It is kind of a thing in the fashion world. I've experienced scenarios like this many times. This is obviously exagerated, and it is so well acted. That said, this is just yet another way in which the fashion industry normalises abuse.

[@bobbabai]

The protest lady with the egg at the red carpet ("She's got an egg!!") was Anne Meara, Ben Stiller's mom. She and Jerry Stiller were a stellar comedy act in the late '50s and '60s. Great on TV.

[@mynameispaul0530]

You can trace this comedy style partially back to the old Ben Stiller Show with regular Janeane Garafalo. They had excellent writers on that show.

[@Rocco1332]

Stiller is one of the few actors that I can enjoy when they play ridiculous characters, skirts the line of overdoing it perfectly. For a more dramatic role you should check him out in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.

Her getting "Relax" isn't a huge leap, they stated Will Ferrels character was the original Synth player for Frankie Goes To Hollywood, whose biggest hit was "Relax"

[@JH-lo9ut]

That track was a super hit in the mid-80’s and also sparked this dumb fashion trend where people wore T-shirts with the word "relax"written across the chest. (Anyone played GTA Vice City?) The song and accompanying fashion fad was in it self a kind of satiric comment on the stupification of popular culture. There are several meta-layers to this joke.

It is kinda a trope of the UK that the liberal, artsy character had blue collar working family because it was true in the UK in the 70's and 80's. They are playing to that trope in the movie.
