It's sad that they dont know who Robin Williams is.

Have they never seen Aladdin? Not the remake.

[@notapplicable7028]

Jacob is not passing the vibes check… it’s blurry and with the not interested passs comments

[@scottrogers7242]

OMG, yes. A complete bore as a human being.

[@adrianewilliams5319]

He just doesn't get 90's comedy

To the kid who said he cant watch blurry movies, he does know you can watch these movies HD now due to modern day technology.

[@patrickkirkham]

Buddy is gonna miss out on so many amazing movies just because

[@bklynkat23]

I was thinking the same exact thing. He acts like we break out VHS's or something to watch old movies

[@TheAllKnowingTribute]

Either way, it hurts my soul.

[@jeffdaigle5487]

That kid spends way to much time on the phone.

[@TheMtVernonKid]

Exactly You have to educate yourself and see what came before. That gives you a little bit more incentive to appreciate what you have now

[@theonlynikolai]

As politely as possible and with zero disrespect meant, Jacob seems like an iPad kid💀

[@pachespaives853]

Them not knowing Robin Williams hurt my soul. 😔

[@Everythingofmusic]

I know I was flabbergasted when he said that…I was like what?!

[@Cosbi]

Did that kid just say that old movies do not compare to what we have today? Can someone please educate him? The ignorance is staggering.

[@BeaseyJ]

I think he was talking about the image quality like 4k resolution. It would be nice if the kid watched the movies eventually but he's young and they don't interest him.

[@DavidAntonio-uw1co]

Yeah it is with you he was talking about the picture quality because modern movies are in a higher resolution

[@DoGuov]

Jacob, Jacob, Jacob. He looks like he pours his milk first before he pours his cereal. It's hard to impress the kid lol.

[@scottrogers7242]

Probably bullied a lot in school. Feel sorry for his attitude.

[@itsonlysound]

It seems like an act tbh. He’s attempting the indie snob personality about 2 decades too late.

[@flytronica]

Jacob bringing the vibe right down.

[@t5dagreat]

He got me when he said, the movies we have today are better!

[@scottrogers7242]

Absolutely, NOT my choice for a repeat guest appearance on REACT.

[@tragictrust]

To the kid saying he can’t watch blurry movies is missing out on great films. Especially before the 90s, not to mention the silent film era of movies.

[@KSharp75]

The kid that said none of the movies excited him to the point that he would watch them has terrible parents 😂

[@hardickmcfondle2956]

The kid in the Marty Mcfly jacket (he wouldn't get that reference either) his parents failed him and he should never be aloud to react again.

[@darbygregersen8370]

"I just can't like watch blurry movies, like compared to what we have today its just not as good" momentarily sent me then did something wack to my nervous system to process that thought. I know these kids were raised knowing nothing but updated tech but holy fruit kid 💀

[@Yeahthatshowifeel]

That kid Jacob was a bit of a downer throughout this entire video👎🏼 he refused to give anything a chance!

[@JoseReyes-wp6ug]

He is uptight and lives under a rock.

[@mike91mdk45]

He could do with a slightly more optimistic outlook lol. Personal taste i get, but the whole "Blurry" thing is easily fixed. Most films have an upscaled release, in several formats

[@unnderneath]

Don’t bring him back

[@GeminiWolfstarGaming]

Well, Jacob, Austin Powers is meant to be over the top! The whole franchise is a spoof of James Bond.

[@exploringandstargazing]

Jacob is probably the kind of person to not enjoy Jurassic Park because they didnt have actual dinosaurs on set.

[@paulcarfantan6688]

Hahaha ! So true.

[@mike91mdk45]

Lol, probably. I know one thing, the special effects aged pretty damn well

[@sundalangur3250]

Don't know who Robin Williams is? Well kids congratulations your parents failed you.

[@harrisonchr]

Some kids these days just don't watch movies if they aren't visually appealing. They need to realize that sometimes the story is more important.

[@zachm1839]

Nothing worse than a 14 year old that has to prove how smart he is by saying he’s too good for classic comedies 🙄

[@melissacoviello2886]

I can’t comprehend not knowing Robin Williams.

[@kylejde]

Deep cut for "But I'm a cheerleader" and someone should tell all these kids, that LGBTQ+ camps still exisit all over the US. Thosands of kids are pysically and psycologically tourtured ever year at places like that still to this day

The most painful part of this was them not knowing who Robin Williams is

[@niles8102]

The actor in the middle was actually getting annoyed wirh Jim and Jeff in Dumb & Dumber because the director told them to improvise that part. His anger is genuine 😂😂😂

[@RonJDuncan]

9:18 First of all child, many of the movies from the 90's have had remasters - so the idea that they will be blurry is misplaced. Second, if you really want to understand and appreciate the advances in film, you should watch older content. Third, if you are really a movie aficianado, you should have seen what people were working with nearly 100 years ago. there was a time where you really had to depend on telling a good story with characters people actually cared about. Modern day techniques seem to do a lot of heavy lifting when by substituting special effects, CGI and so on in place of the things that made movies great in the first place.

[@tararitz7005]

I don't blame him, I never got into old black & white movies myself

[@maplenerd22]

Get off your high horse. Do you regularly watch black and white movies and appreciate the advances in film?? If you don't, then you have no right to criticize others for not liking old movies.

[@Chocomunchie]

Breaks my heart to see kids these days not knowing Robin Williams...

Anyone, teen or adult who doesn't know who Robin Williams is, is odd to me. And not having ever seen Mrs. Doubtfire (or even giving it a chance) makes you one odd duck in my books.

[@mike91mdk45]

They'd do themselves a favor to take a trip down robin williams' filmography. First the comedies, then if they're tough enough, his dramatic roles like in Good Will Hunting

[@dionshare7103]

Robin Williams was such a great actor and comedian. Truly missed.

[@georgepinn3402]

[@slugmaballs1444]

i wanted to punch him when i heard that

[@ieyke]

Groundhog Day is one of the best movies of all-time. Like damn, what a PERFECT movie. You go into it thinking it's just a weird movie about an obscure holiday, and even if you know the general premise you think "sure whatever". And then by the end you're like "Goddamn. That movie is genius." So damn funny. So well put together. Such an amazing journey.....

[@varnishyourboard]

A blurry 90s movie is infinitely better than a hi-def 2010s movie. get off my lawn lol

[@Colby-sh4sc]

Pretty sad kids today pass on broadening their horizons based on stuff like "blurry" movies. Missing out on so many good messages in those films. Also not like they dont have upscaled hd versions 🤦‍♂️

[@Gadriel1987]

That one kid who thinks they’re so cool for not finding any of the 90s comedies funny even though they haven’t seen any of them yet. Talk about obnoxious.

[@marcussmith6805]

Jacob seems a little small-minded. Not every movie needs to have the highest resolution or CGI to be good. Perhaps, he's just not into certain genres of film either, so I'll be lenient.

[@randyorton01]

14:37 HOW CAN’T NOT KNOW WHO THE LEGENDARY ROBIN WILLIAMS IS!!!

[@jenniferhanson3671]

5:16 I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned that "Wayne's World" started out as an SNL skit that was made into a movie.

[@scabbedwings6548]

They seem to never do full research for these episodes and are always leaving out some critical detail or giving inaccurate information.

For any child of divorce in the 90s, Mrs. Doubtfire is a heart and soul film that helped you cope and made you laugh and cry.

That one kid acts like my 79 year old mother. Geez. He'd probably watch War & Peace in movie format. 🙄

[@RanaldMcDanald]

You should do Teen’s and their Parents together with 90’s movies. That’d be fun! Obviously the parents will know it and their teenager for the most part will be clueless. That’d be fun to see.

If you're gonna test someone you should probably have your facts straight. Harry and Lloyd (Dumb and Dumber) don't groom dogs as a side gig, it's literally Harry's job at the start of the movie, Lloyd is a limo driver. Also Billy Madison's father doesn't issue the ultimatum. It's Billy's idea to prove he's not an idiot. Plus it was grades 1 through 12 and didn't include kindergarten.

[@cassienunes2173]

Im 30 this month and i have never felt my age more then now. These kids not knowing jim carrey or robin williams? Being confused about stoner comedies and stuff? And dont get me started on that kid whi thinks hes too good to watch these. Sit down and respect the classics!

[@ZipplyZane]

Did they ever tell the kid that the movies aren't actually blurry? These are all promos, and they tended to air on TV or would come with home video. They were designed for old TV sets, and are only blurry because they are being upscaled. Few iconic movies that people actually remember do not have HD transfers.

[@davidarroyo54]

Came to say something about Jacob, but he's been roasted enough 😂 I mean, ok, you don't have to like all these movies (personally, not a fan of half baked myself) that's your opinion and it should be respected. However, saying 'oh, I'd never watch these because they look blurry compared to now...' really comes off as you thinking you're better than everyone else.

[@Supersoccerchic]

Yeah and that's sad too. A lot of these movies are so funny and amazing. Also, you can easily get devices that make the movies less blurry and less out of focus too.

Also, that kid in the grey sweater who doesn't want to watch the film because the quality is...what did they say? Blurry? Grainy? You're missing out, kiddo. The 90s has some of the best films ever made - they're original, creative, quirky, unique, and daring. In contrast, many films nowadays err towards the formulaic and predictable, too worried about catering to the audience and being PC.
