Comedy Timelines Episode 11 : Meatballs

[@john_blues]

"I was in Goonies." That actually got a laugh out of me. The first Meatballs was a favorite of mine as a kid. I loved Murray's style of humor and the "It just doesn't matter" speech. Rewatched it soooo many times as a kid.

[@davebooshty299]

6:20 Larroquette as also in The Military in the Movie Stripes.

[@peterdanior4538]

Two & Four are my favorites in this series. It is strange that there aren’t a dozen of these since all you need is a camp setting.

[@docthemetalfreak]

probably a good thing we never had a Meatballs/Sleepaway Camp crossover movie

[@LoganLee333]

Meatballs was one of my first memories of watching a movie. I also used to love Meatballs 2 and watched it all the time. Totally forgot about 3 but I do remember it and 4 seems kind of familiar. Great video! I do think 2 is my favorite because it is so wacky and out there.

[@johnr.7906]

Me too!

[@LoganLee333]

@@johnr.7906 That's awesome! I think I just might watch Meatballs 2 tonight, hahaha.

[@RussellCHall]

I don't know man, I love all your stuff, in fact my favorite all time is probably your sword and sandals one where you made your poor wife pose for the Boris Vallejo cover painting at the end , make me laugh every time haha (I know she was in on it but she played to so straight haha)

[@Jesse__H]

The sword and sandal content is some of my favorite too.

[@MrKChernes]

Pretty sure the first one I saw was Meatballs 3 on after the parents went to bed late night tv. So when I eventually saw the first movie, also on late night tv, I was very confused by the tone as I was expecting some Porky’s type hijinks.

[@FriendlyNeighborhoodUnclePete]

It Just Doesn't Matter!

[@st11ches]

As a kid from isolated winter-land, Meatballs is what I imagined summer was like.

[@darkcloak100]

Never heard of this film until I saw it in Walmart bargain bin just last week

[@Forcemaster2000]

"Meatball" used to be an insult. Back in the day, if you went to summer camp, you were a "meatball"!

[@billyrattlesticks6949]

They're also really nice in a Subway footlong :)

[@kniferaffe]

stoked for non-horror timeline week

[@phantomorchastraproduction4769]

Hell yes whole week of your videos made my week

[@pounce8]

Yay! A week of fun timelines. So excited!

[@Mrashxking]

Wet Hot American Summer. The meatballs sequel we needed

[@paulroman3668]

Pure Awesomeness Brother... Love the care and work you put into all your vids! Great timeline...

[@TheTonyahawk]

Timeline rocks as does Meatballs (1979) the sequels I skipped no desire.

[@MonoverSusstereo]

I love All timelines.

[@Max_Sinister_26]

I will gladly watch whatever you post. I love your videos.

[@DominarRygel-XVI]

Im all for the variety

[@kaysebain1004]

Lol third one is so raunchy 😂😂 by the way your doing a great job since you started only getting better!! 👍

[@therosebride]

Never saw these but I definitely enjoyed this timeline!

[@MrFurious176]

My god I always forget how cute Kristine DeBell was!

[@shallendor]

Meatballs and Meatballs 2 were great films!

[@brandonpage7087]

Meatballs has to be the most bizarre franchise ever! Love the first one, it's a classic, but haven't seen the other 3. Josh you should do a timeline of honey I shrunk the kids & its 2 sequels.

[@movietimelines]

i have that one on my list, but no plans for it as of the moment.

[@FavouriteScaryMovie]

This was a fun idea for the summer! It also reminded me of the Porky’s series which, while bad and arguably pretty offensive by any standard, I’d still enjoy seeing you cover at some point!

[@razieltalos]

I remember watching many years ago but could never remember the title, or that OG Hot Lips was in it

[@SigmaSal9]

Respect on the Marvel 2 in 1 I.D.

[@jackmackakaheavyguyhaiku545]

I like this video. The first was good. The rest were... made(?). Actually 4 wasn't hideously horrible. If you haven't done them yet, I'd love mini timelines for Weekend at Bernie's and Mannequin. I love those films, especially the first one in each series.

[@desi1790]

A full week of reviews?!? You're gonna spoil us Josh

[@Captain-Palsy]

I remember seeing 2 more than the others

[@waynebutler7030]

Meatballs meatballs meatballs ain't no meatballs meatballs meatballs ain't no meatballs

[@joevaughn9241]

I enjoy the Meatball franchise. For some reason, the one with the rubber space alien was always my favorite. It was a goofy looking puppet. 🤣

[@TheSalemCrow]

I had no idea there was a fourth film in this series. I love the first 2 (byproduct of my age when I first saw them I'm sure), and vaguely remember the third, but had no idea 4 existed until now.

[@Gefhouse]

I love horror films, but I couldn't imagine only watching horror. Fandom's so weird. Variety is the spice of life. Thanks for the good summer video! Nice catch with Marvel-Two-in-One! Loved that series. Pretty sure that's the first time John Byrne wrote Fantastic Four, right?

[@Jason-cruel]

Big fan of your channel I appreciate all the work you put in your videos btw never knew meatballs had any sequels I'll probably watch meatballs 3 cause it looks like the best sequel compared to the the other two

[@bradbecker8212]

Meatballs a great movie

[@michaell7927]

Best week ever!

[@RioBroski]

I enjoyed them. 😁

[@randomreviews4278]

If only i can find number 2

[@JohnWesleyDavison]

Meatballs II is great. So over the top.

[@billyrattlesticks6949]

I watch all of your Vids Josh, irrespective of the subject matter, they're far more entertaining than most of the guff on TV these days lol I honestly don't know what I'd do if wasn't for yours (and channels like yours) on KZbin. They're literally all I watch on an evening, TV is full of soaps, anoying adverts and reality TV shows, everything I hate lol So please keep doing what you're doing, some of us out here appreciate all the hard work and commitment you put into your channel :) Right, arse kiss over, when's the next episode of the 80's project due out 🤣🤣🤣

[@movietimelines]

working on episode 3 of the ‘80s project now actually. it’ll be out in a couple of weeks!

[@billyrattlesticks6949]

@@movietimelines Awesome 😁👍

[@RobbDorn]

The Meatball films are terrible, but all of your timelines are amazing. I tried to watch them on cable as a teen, but could never get into any of them. It’s a testament to your channel that even a bad film series like this makes for such an entertaining watch.

[@TheTonyahawk]

I like the first one, stupid sure but entertaining.

[@creatureslim]

Oh shit I forgot the channel is called movie timelines and not horror timelines

[@harleymax01]

A classic movie! They don't make them like this anymore.

[@chrisclarke8117]

I enjoy the non-horror timelines. Variety is the Spice Girls of life.

[@samwill7259]

My friend. I thought you were the cream, the tops, the kind of nerd I could get behind. But you ALSO recognize the genius of Marvel Two-In-One, home of The Thing solo series? I mean come on man, you can't take ALL the nerd cred for yourself, it's just not fair.

[@movietimelines]

for some reason, i liked team up books, so Marvel Two-In-One and Marvel Team-Up were two of my favorite series.

[@garyhall7867]

I watch them all

[@Thefuzzy-yv9dy]

keep them up love the videos :)

[@davidabbott7270]

I only saw the first three did not know there is a part 4. I might have to see if I can find it

[@Tharsos2099]

I did know there was a 4th one. I thought I saw them all.

[@vonVile]

Do a Police Academy timeline.

[@movietimelines]

already done! check out the Comedy TImeline playlist!

[@sagittarianfirerat7657]

I only liked the first Meatballs movie. I only like the third one because had a crush on Patrick Dempsey when I was fifteen.

[@garyhall7867]

Honestly, the Tripper and Rudy scenes really made the movie better, so they were right to add them

[@robertmckinnon7003]

I watched the third one. I didn't hate it. But, I didn't remember it as a Meatballs sequel.

[@seanwilkinson7431]

You forgot Aykroyd's cameo in Casper.

[@Tids71]

Never seen a slim minute of any of 'em. Pretty sure, I'm missing nothing.

[@wesleyhermsen2242]

i liked it are you gonna do Screwballs too

[@movietimelines]

probably at some point in the near future. i have them both on my drive.

[@Puncherjoe1]

Man... 80s movies can be very... assaulty

[@drumkit666]

Rank em 1. Meatballs, Bill Murray is the man, fun story 8/10 2. Meatballs 3, fun cheesy 80's b movie, got a soft spot for Isabelle Mejias who played Wendy, chatted with her several times nice lady and underrated actress 6.5/10 Interesting trivia, Role of Rudy was offered to Chris Makepeace again and declined then Jim Carrey had signed on to do it then backed out 3 weeks prior to Production before going to Patrick Dempsey. 3.Meatballs 2 decent 80's b cheese 6/10 4. Meatballs 4, it's ok 5/10

[@jkincaid582]

I think I've seen the first perhaps 1 time ever. The second was on Showtime or HBO frequently in the late 80s. Oddly enough the third I remember being on tv constantly throughout the early 90s. LIke on Saturday afternoon TV. The title always puzzled me, as it had nothing to do with a summer camp, and was just about a guy trying to have sex. I actually forgot the 4th existed.

[@garyhall7867]

Holdup was the 28nyear old guy Bobby from the Sopranos?

[@stuartsutton9350]

Never heard of these films. Maybe American release only?

[@TheTonyahawk]

I enjoy the first one the others aren't really worth the watch so I skipped them myself. The original meatballs was a Canadian film.

[@garyhall7867]

Yeah, but DeBell was fuckin hot in that Alice in Wonderland movie

[@stephenthurmond2639]

You are not doing horror timelines this week NOOOOOOOOO!

[@movietimelines]

don’t worry. there’s plenty more horror content coming!

[@illeagle8041]

Are you sure that leather jacket guy (bus MB2) is Francis?

[@movietimelines]

it’s not Francis but the guy Francis hires to steal the bike. he’s in one scene and refers to Francis as “Bucks-Ton”

[@illeagle8041]

@@movietimelines got ya. I was trying to figure out how dude changed so much. I was half way convinced it must be Francis.

[@jazcc]

Wow that didn’t age well did it

[@thehoodedfang3304]

So Meatballs 2 is an E.T. ripoff?

[@ChristophersRants]

Corey had a dirty nose.

[@MikeD974]

Only ever liked the 1st movie

[@bubbadagger]

So by the Canadian Map , they are in the Maritimes. Judging by the landscape it would fit in more with Nova Scotia than Prince Edward Island, and since the camp has North in the title I would place it in the Northernmost part of NS, Cape Breton.. am I wrong ? Probably.

[@Jesse__H]

I don't know who these foolish people are who are not watching literally ALL of your videos, but I do not count myself among them! 🤍

[@movietimelines]

and i always look forward to your comments! thanks for sticking with me.
