I Couldn't Stop Laughing! | Tropic Thunder Reaction | FIRST TIME WATCHING!

Tropic Thunder Reaction is today's video! Hey everyone! Join me as I watch Tropic Thunder for the first time today!
While shooting a war film, the director attempts to liven up proceedings by dropping the principle actors into the middle of a real jungle, claiming he is going to capture their performance with hidden cameras. The hapless group including drug-addled comedy star Jeff Portnoy and po-faced method man Kirk Lazarus are completely unaware when a series of unfortunate events leads them into the middle of a real war zone.

I swear the reporter's *"Can Speedman muh-muh-muh-make audiences happy?"* was such a great out-of-nowhere line. I was dying laughing in the theater.

[@WolfHreda]

It was so brutal. 🤣

[@stevenmonte7397]

I saw it in the theater also! Non-stop laughter the whole movie!

[@knytewing3107]

It's about time you reacted to this, this is one of the best comedies of 2008. I swear Robert Downey Jr performance as the Aussie dressed as black man has me on the floor. As a black man, it doesn't even bother me. What did Ben Stiller have to apologize for ? He made a legendary movie.

[@hoppytoons756]

Is it considered blackface if you’re doing a movie? 🤔

[@_exsencefx]

@@hoppytoons756 yesssss especially if you’re doing it for a movie

[@jlhanlon1980]

​@@_exsencefx you completely missed the point, he's not doing blackface, he's playing an actor that's doing blackface and making fun of it, ignorant pos.

[@lyndawilliams4570]

[@BigGator5]

"Man, I don't drop character 'till I done the DVD commentary." Fun Fact: When recording the audio commentary for the Unrated DVD and Blu-ray, Robert Downey, Jr. actually spends the entire commentary in the character that appears on the screen as the movie progresses. Historical Fact: The South East Asian gang Flaming Dragon, led by a pre-teen boy, was modeled after God's Army, a guerrilla army in Myanmar. The group was led by twin brothers Johnny Htoo and Luther Htoo, who were nine years old when it was founded in 1997. Johnny and Luther Htoo were fond of American action movie heroes, especially the Rambo franchise. Cruise Unbound Fact: Ben Stiller said nearly all aspects of the Les Grossman character were developed by Tom Cruise, including the dancing and the look of the make-up. Stiller said that in addition to the more obvious make-up effects applied to Cruise's face and head, and the extra hair on his chest and arms, Cruise also decided to play the character wearing oversized prosthetic hands.

[@clevelandcbi]

I liked the commentary more than the movie😂😂😂

[@BigGator5]

clevelandcbi ...I don't know if I would go that far, but it is hilarious and I do highly recommend it. You can find the commentary here on KZbin and sync it if you only have a digital copy. Go in Peace and Walk with God. 😎 👍

[@TheLightbane]

23:33 Yes, watch it again, even if you remember enough of it it is a movie well worth watching again.

[@philmartinez2002]

Ben Stiller is the reason I wanted to work in the movie business. I have always loved him as an actor especially the night at the museum movies but ever since I found out that he also directs like this movie, zoolander and others, that really inspired me to make movies of my own for a career! thank you so much for checking this movie out! love your reactions as always!

[@solezeta1314]

"I wanna have fat hands and I wanna dance" -Tom Cruise's terms for being in this movie

[@clevelandcbi]

Christine Taylor (Simple Jack) is Ben's actual wife. Was in Dodgeball too. I've had a crush on her since she got a baldness curse in The Craft (1995).

[@clevelandcbi]

*"Fartin' in the bathtub, laughing ya ass off"* I heard my daughter (13 now, 4 then) say that line to her new puppy Jason when giving him a bath. The day I discovered parental controls.

[@stevethestickguyproduction4847]

One joke in this movie doesn't play out in the actual movie When Robert Downey Jr's character says i don't Drop character till the DVD Commentary it's true he does the DVD Commentary as his movie Character

[@TheDunnDusted]

"I am Sam" is regarded as the most Oscar-bation film of all time, right up there with "Green Book", the only difference was critics saw right through the movie and now look back on it with as much fondness as "Crash".

[@lachlanmaheux3408]

Ben Stiller is absolutely phenomenal in this movie, never thought things could get even better with him ever since Night at the museum which every time i see this man i only think of those movies.

[@candicelitrenta8890]

RDJ, was nominated for a best supporting actor for his performance. Unfortunately, he lost to Heath Ledger for the Joker in the Dark Knight.

[@kingcole1012]

as an actor myself cody I find it really awesome and impressive that you're able to cry so easily. That's gonna come in real handy. Wish I could cry that naturally. I usually rely on listening to movie or tv series soundtracks that remind me of the emotional scenes when said music was playing before i enter a scene. That makes it fairly easy for me to cry.

[@clevelandcbi]

To answer your question, The Fatty dinner scene was playing off how Eddie Murphy played every character in The Nutty Professor dinner scenes.

[@conarlarmay]

4:05 it is a take on The Nutty Professor staring Eddie Murphy. You should watch it, one of the funniest movie ever.

[@clevelandcbi]

Cody: "I don't know what I'd do if someone ever said some shit like that to me." Me: 41:53 is your answer.

[@ScorpionStrike7]

I just love how extra everyone was in this movie, especially RDJ and Danny McBride

[@Lensmaster1]

Tom Cruise agreed to do this role if he could dance and have big hands.

[@CrossTrooper-7589]

I just now realize this is a parody of Apocalypse now

[@clevelandcbi]

This movie is the most perfectly casted comedy I have ever seen. Every actor chosen was PERFECTION.

[@highstimulation2497]

cast is the past tense of cast.

[@MysticWolfMagic]

This movie is a masterpiece of ridiculousness and I adore it!

[@candicelitrenta8890]

Nick Nolte was also in 48 Hours with Eddie Murphy in the 80's a great movie and it was Eddie's first one out of SNL

[@vincentwilliamcarmichael4257]

I'm glad that you watched and reacted to Tropic Thunder. One of the funniest movies ever and one of my favorites.

[@VoIcanoman]

RDJ was actually nominated for Best Supporting Actor for this very movie. There was no way he was beating Heath Ledger's Joker though (if Tropic Thunder was released the year before or after, RDJ would have had it in the bag). Also note that this movie came out the same year as Iron Man, meaning that it was chiefly the year 2008 that turned him from a risky prospect (due to his substance abuse issues), into one of the most beloved actors of our time. I actually view this as one of the most intelligent comedies I've ever seen. It doesn't hold audiences' hands; it assumes that most people are going to get the references, and lo and behold, most people do. And it is also metatextually on-point. Listen to RDJ/Lazarus explain why Speedman's _Simple Jack_ character doesn't work. He can see that Speedman has taken it too far, and the audience can't connect (he even says that Speedman brought it back a notch in the re-enactment, helping to "bridge the aesthetic distance"). So Lazarus is perfectly capable of seeing how ridiculous this is in another actor's work, but to recognize for himself why his method acting and (specifically) the blackface is not a good choice (to say the least) is far more difficult for him (although he does come to realize this at the end). This film makes me respect Ben Stiller, because he both wrote AND directed it. He understands the milieu in which he works (Hollywood), and perfectly rips it a new one in this film. It is certainly one of the best comedies ever made, of that I have no doubt.

[@SentientPotatoXIII]

I love this movie so much 😂😂😂 so many of the jokes would be too much for today

[@fightingfaerie]

Have you seen the RDJ movie about like a French physician? I went on a RDJ binge and found it on Netflix I believe. It was years ago. For awhile I did a thing where when I decided I liked an actor I tried to find all the movies they’ve been in I could easily watch. I did it with David Tennant and Anton Yelchin (before he passed)

[@NikaEvelina]

I think I never saw you laughing this hard, Cody 🥰😄

[@ScarlettM]

"Three Fugitives" - a wonderful 80s comedy with younger Nick Nolte and Martin Short. Consider reacting!

[@VolatileSupernova]

The best part of Tom's rant there was afterwards when he says to his guy "Can you uh find out who that was?" He just reamed someone out just because lol. I heard that Tom based his performace off of how he thought of Weinstein too

[@seiya.power.awesome.inspire]

So Ironman, Alex the Lion, Po, and Maverick are in this movie? Nice!😊

[@rickardroach9075]

12:30 I had a similar experience in a musical where we had to freeze while looking at each other; my scene partner would always start laughing. He asked how I managed to keep a straight face so I told him to think of something sad, like a dead dog. The next time (actually, every time! 😈) we ran that scene thereafter, we’d freeze - then just as soon as I sensed he’d got his composure, I’d quietly ventriloquise “Dead dog”, and he’d crack up!

[@joshuasilvius7854]

Another great comedy led by Ben Stiller which you should check out is Mystery Men.

[@Elektro3006]

41:50 that make me tear up in laughter 😂

[@onepunchmantolkienfan5383]

By the way if no have mentioned it but Tom Cruise character was a take on Harvey Weinstein.

[@7thsealord888]

"Star-studded cast" is one of those terms so over-used it has become almost meaningless, but it definitely applies to Tropic Thunder.

[@marilynn7799]

This movie will always be amazing to me. It's hilarious 😂😂😂

[@colewarnerreviews5834]

Great movie. Someone got upset at the humor and found it offensive but Ben Stiller said he won’t apologize for the movie. Good

[@fightingfaerie]

Good. Anyone getting upset completely missed the point

[@Mr808pocho]

I can't ever hear the word unit without saying suck my unit in my head.

They need to make a sequel to this movie, I wanna see Robert Downey Jr. back as that character.

[@redrum41987]

Yes, watch Forrest Gump. It's an emotional ride. And hilarious too

[@PaliSvapna]

Lol😂 he went full ozi on him I lost it and laughed nearly fell off my chair

[@candicelitrenta8890]

Robert Downey Jr. was a real addict and did jail time for it almost 2 years. He was a functional drug user but it became a problem. He ended up breaking into someone's house and falling asleep in a kid's bedroom. No one wanted to hire him after that, and Mel Gibson fronted him a movie insuring it so that he could do it. It was called The Singing Detective. But the one that got him in the running for Iron Man was Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang, with Val Kilmer. That one is really funny you need to see it. React to it.

[@ScarlettM]

"Shallow Hal" - Jack Black comedy!

[@davidforrester3147]

Pretty sure The Fatties is more like the Nutty professor with eddie murphy and The Nutty Professor II: The Klumps

[@videohistory722]

PLEASE consider doing Ben Stillers remake of the Secret Life of Walter Mitty. You will not regret it.

[@iUseVegas]

Still just 3 minutes into the video but I wanted to say that you are not the only one that is confused and asks if that is part of the movie or if they accidentally got the wrong movie, but imagine being in the movie theater when this first came out and having no idea if these are actually trailers for real movies. I am sure there were loads of people that thought they were real at first

[@videohistory722]

That moment when Tom Cruise is just playing himself...

[@AbrahamBenno]

Yeah Cody, I think rewatching Forrest Gump is a good idea

I'd love to see a re-watch of Forrest Gump

[@jordansantos7226]

Now that Cody brought up I Am Sam, I’ve been debating on watching that movie for a while but as someone on the autism spectrum, it kinda makes me a little uncomfortable watching non disabled actors portray disabled characters

[@thejamppa]

I completely understand your point. As one with Asperger´s diagnose, I felt that long time. Now days, I think it´s ok. Its called acting for a reason. People become other person and that is skill. I mean should every actor deny role for not fullfilling special label? Is it any more acting or just bringing people to play themselves? So I decided I don´t mind these things or what actors / actress´do in their personal life. I admit, I have been enjoying movies more when just enjoying films as films.

[@nicholaswalker4791]

The idea behind Simple Jack is basically Ben Stiller auditioned for Forest Gump and what we see as Simple Jack was how he portrayed Forest....I would pay anything to see it
