I'm Here Outside of Gene Hackman's Movie Trailer | Breaking News

[@romxxii]

Erika's quarter-life crisis reminds me of the time my niece realized Lord of the Rings was over 20 years ago.

[@belatedmedia]

Please don't. Don't say that.

[@tekias5536]

Remember how the first LotR trailer had an AOL Keyword? You're welcome.

[@KeithMcDermott]

Just finished watching them again last night - the animation surprisingly holds up well for movies two decades old.

[@Mouseling216]

Right, yes, the films, not just the books. Took me a second.

[@user-nd7st3is9f]

Mine happened when I was expecting the comment to say flies

[@beriukay]

Today we learned that you can skip your listing items section by having a visible emotional breakdown. This will help for speedrunning future Breaking News segments

[@anantkerur557]

Even better, as demonstrated by Katie, you can just say "no, I can't do this"

[@dylaneverhartmusic]

It was more just caus she legit couldn't list any lol

[@travisraymond5888]

We can expect a very convincing existential episode out of Brennan before too long...

[@tehmarok]

To be fair, entertainers should get a pass for not being that involved with minors. 🤷‍♂️

[@MrSkerpentine]

BNDQ gonna be wild this year

[@springtime_melody4566]

As someone studying Economics, I do confirm that crushing and stomping over the soul of the people is a legitimate way to control market inflation

[@itslexactually]

Jesus Christ, people don’t know what stagflation is?! A fast-food worker could afford to have a home and a family with the buying power they had in 1978, but now you can’t do the same thing despite being paid three times as much, because cost of living’s gone up FIVE times as much. That’s how it works. Just remember, kids, every year you don’t get at least a 7.5 percent raise, your effective buying power is taking a cut.

[@bmacpher]

Horrific by design 👍

[@dizzylilthing]

Demand drops when people are too broke and depressed to afford anything

[@manwithbrisk3418]

I'd love to see a contest between Erika, Becca, Amy Vorpahl, and a laugh track.

[@mysidianbard5890]

grant should be the 4th

[@dylaneverhartmusic]

The 4th could be Katie to see if that much continuous laughter makes her crack

[@lego4virgo]

The laugh track has NO chance.

[@dwontonsoup7369]

banger

[@irishbroadsword1001]

Vorpal walks away with it by a mile.

[@vexorian]

Premise of the show: WHOEVER LAUGHS OR BREAKS THE MOST LOSES Actual show: LET'S GIVE ERIKA ISHII AN EXISTENTIAL CRISIS.

[@vexorian]

MAGNETO, he's old.

[@marsmech]

I think Erika not know any teens is probably better than her being able to list 10 rapid fire.

[@raideranimator6091]

I think they coulda prattled off just some names and gotten through it (Jess, Hutchinson, Ezleigha, etc)

[@xmlthegreat]

This episode has so much greatness packed into it I could write a fricking essay but I'm not going to except to say I live for Erika and Becca's dawning horror when they have to realise how oldness feels/have to explain how the economy works. Just perfect.

[@Squall598]

Erika "OMG, is this what it's like... I'm... I'm getting old" I love how they managed to give Erika a full on quarter-life crisis without even really trying.

[@stevenqu3]

It's great when you can hear Grant laughing in the background.

[@williambennett9764]

Right? Grant breaks even when he's not in the episode.

[@researchherpetology]

Alfred pulling Benjamin Button as "opposite Brad Pitt" meant the world to me

[@IronicName]

"Get pinned" is absolutely brilliant

[@rubyfoxall1656]

Becca's immediate response to the federal reserve improv being a panicked "BERNANKE!" was absolutely perfect

[@dielaughing73]

Was she YELLEN it?

[@piplup10203854]

Becca cracking up at the Gene Hackman's bit definitely was getting me starting to chuckle, I tried not to laugh but it's so funny.

[@itslexactually]

The pins were probably supposed to include Gene Hackman films. Hope your sins aren’t Unforgiven. Hoosier undertaker cuz you’re dead. French Connection? More like the Greek Connection… down the River Styx.

[@CyberKirby]

I don't know what anyone says, this video is totes Delaware, Brah. That's SO Raven!

[@xmlthegreat]

Litty, fam!

[@lisachiappetti6092]

This is a year old, but it legitimately crushes my soul a little bit because first off, Ohio is already slang. No idk what it means, but it exists, so that means Delaware could also be a legitimate slang term at some point. Second off, that's so raven sounds like legitimate slang when you use it in a sentence like that, and I hate it.

[@Megapolitano]

As someone who grew up Catholic, that description of description of weekday Catholics is accurate af.

[@marcushead9985]

As fun as it is to see people just fail, or be cool as ice throughout, it's nice to have an episode where you legitimately can't tell who the winner or loser is going to be just from reading the cast list.

[@FuzzyStripetail]

In addition to being the first state, Delaware was also the first questionably used youth slang word.

[@rizokahn]

2:18 Erika having a life existential crisis on air

[@superguy183828]

Name a woman!

[@rizokahn]

@@superguy183828 I just did

[@Haroldsavatar]

Becca! What a great guest! Hilarious as always, please never stop making episodes guys

[@jacklegend5798]

I'm going to rewatch this just for Erika's existential crisis.

[@senseisleepyhead]

Bookmarking 1:18 for Erika's laughter burst, for a future serotonin boost ❤

[@AJOLT151]

Paused the video after they challenged Alfred to three more death puns, and all I could come up with after thinking for TOO long: 1. You never know when a turtle dies, either they are just slow or it’s really rigor tortoise 2. Office fans who want a funeral themed after their favorite show call them Six Feet Dunders 3. Luigi died from cardiac arrest after trying to get a lesser known princess off from on top of himself - he was pushing up Daisy’s.

[@palmberry5576]

We hope genes not coming back man

[@Sonichero151]

Daisy would be a top.........

[@Quis2nice]

Not gonna lie, watching Becca slowly have a stroke while trying to keep it together is the most hilarious part of this whole video, in my opinion. 🤣🤣

[@AnimaVisionary]

I've never attended a catholic service outside of funerals so I searched online to see if there were any other color of wafer besides white and the images look like their a cross of sterilized medical equipment and sanitized truck stop products to add into your coffee. Also the websites offering wafer recipes and wafer manufacturing give off a weird energy thats hard to describe other than sinister.

[@minusxero]

That look from Becca when discussing JK Simmons aging well, lol

[@Wolfencreek]

"Put a man in your mouth" Grant Anthony O'Brian: "Way ahead of you"

[@justininexile3445]

Most of the Stranger Things kids are still technically teenagers at this point, so that is still a relatively easy answer. For old actors - just try to remember any large movie franchise, almost all of them still bring back the old actors.

[@Joneedance]

Best Breaking News in a hot sec!!!!! Keep this group together, they've got that spark that x factor that homina homina homina

[@Murrytmds]

This whole time I was watching it I kept thinking Gene Hackman was Gene Wilder and I was like "Damn, Damn! They really going after a treasure"

[@TimTE01]

Which one was in ‘The Conversation?’ He was great. 😁

[@DoctorX17]

1:21 I love Erika’s scream-laughing XD

[@zachryder3150]

So fricken cute

[@indigofenrir7236]

Discount Amy screams.

[@entersandshrew4230]

Zendaya and Tom Holland are almost 30. They haven’t been teenagers for a while.

[@repulser93]

I’m turning 30 in less than two months. Where did life go?!?

[@piplup10203854]

5:04 Dammit, that made me spit out my water as I went to get a sip, how dare you Alfred. The delivery of that line made me 100% believe that's something he would do just to do it 😆

[@dalluc]

Becca is great. I'm not sure who she was imitating at 7:25 but it was spot on.

[@ejaybugboythree]

Get pinned "banshee screech" killed me.

[@MrBangBat]

This was a fantastic episode.

[@pika2273]

"I'm getting faces and not names so I'm gonna go with the characters I remember..." That is *exactly* me when I have to refer to actors. Or if anyone has to describe actors to me.

[@raijinslider6837]

I had the same feeling with zendaya I was thinking she was a teenager and learned she's 2 years older than me lol

[@davidrose8336]

Erica and Becca channeling their inner Amy Vorpol...

[@TenaciousP45]

A better way to phrase that is "NAME 10 OF YOUR FAVORITE MINORS" and its probably for the best you can't

[@itslexactually]

Breaking: Time Passes *chef’s kiss*

[@jingbot1071]

The first good news I've heard this month.

[@RipIPDime]

I like how Becca had to resort to the time honored Amy Vorpahl pucker during Alfred’s but.

[@nehemiahwashingtoniii748]

Why is Erica's shirt/blouse doing the starting point of a Bruce Banner/Hulk transformation?

[@MrBlaiseable]

Let's all be both glad and sad that Amy V. Wasn't here on this one, it would have been half an hour long!

[@chibiktsn3]

Several moments of this had us laughing out loud, and only a few were due to the existential crisises!

[@ocold-gp3oi]

4:37 Becca is SO excited about JK Simmons, its adorable

[@hofficalz]

This has such a strong Lily energy throughout the episode :D

[@theend7449]

I've been been watching this show for years and only just realised the harbour pictures is Sydney Australia.

[@gluttonforpun]

cried laughing at alfred's pun segment

[@Haromour]

can't wait for the new season of Breaking News!

[@Warrigt]

Writer for this episode had to bang this out in like 2 minutes.

[@therealking6202]

In between all the buzz cuts.

[@helloofthebeach]

Haha "bang," I get it.

[@Warrigt]

@@helloofthebeach nah. It was more of a comment on lazily doing the *make em say list of things off top of head* so i can write less.

[@helloofthebeach]

@@Warrigt my reply was about the writer being horny on main

[@mynameisgrundle8157]

​@@Warrigt yes thank you. Glad somebody else finds those segments lazy. The writers are so creative I don't know why they keep falling back on this... Except Grant. I think Grant is just not very good at this form of writing.

[@CompoundingTime]

Taking a break from studying for my economics midterm and that stagflation question now qualifies this as study time?

[@ogurasyn2354]

It's extraordinary how Becca and Erika were tied all the way through

[@PhilM4]

1:16 I feel like that's what dying laughing sounds like 😂

[@crazyredwood1488]

Great writing on this one! So funny!

[@usernamedkjahstill5003]

Why would you object and then tell the internet you sleep naked, Erika?! Would have said, wrapped up with a multitude of weapons out and others hidden throughout!

[@alllbw]

Love the way Erika laughs

[@jrdiamante696]

I'm here for Becca attempting Amy's hold in your laughter tekkers

[@calebgale7807]

The moment of revelation that your old is priceless

[@LargeMcBottoms]

Becca Scott is so damn naturally funny

[@Demmrir]

I am sad they didn't do the stagflation question opposite the several CollegeHumor employees I bet could explain it and would get visibly flustered at the stumbling inaccuracies.

[@Ocean_Man]

cant wait too see the new eps yall been filming

[@ezekielmartin4323]

Managed to keep it together through the first 9 teen slang words, but "Drake and... Josh" fucking BROKE me

[@carthag]

man his death puns were excellent

[@IMatchoNation]

4:44 Becca agreeing noticeably hard there; she's got good taste in DILFs!

[@GZilla311]

That man has aged well, absolutely.

[@AndrewLyon23]

Switching to characters instead of actors was actually a genius way to remember!

[@ianrivers7923]

I looked it up, the last movie Gene Hackman was in was "Welcome To Mooseport"

[@phantomaquarist3417]

🤨Name 10 teens. She said name one person under 18... Eigh(teen), and nine(teen) are still teens. Ergo, the word teen at the end of 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19.

[@Darkmatter105]

Erikas realization really hit home.

[@AlexandarHullRichter]

You know the joke is good when you get everyone behind the scenes laughing!

The answer to how you sleep isn't ... that. It's "Lightly, with a deep sense of paranoia and spooning a shotgun".

[@tenenbaummark]

Always cool to hear my last name mentioned anywhere lol

[@BravosReviews]

So having worked in a news studio I can tell you a lot of the time the news anchors don’t know what they’re about to read.

[@grogisgrog]

The more I watch this, the funnier "The question being, Am I Dead Yet?" gets every time

[@zackklapman3569]

I feel you, Erika. I’m stumped.

[@ImAFatNerd90]

Gene Hackman is 93

[@RecklessFables]

Yeah, why are they hating on the OG Superman Movie Lex Luthor?

[@Idran]

​@RecklessFables idk if I tried to kill superman I would expect to get at least a couple people hating me

[@AnnaDahmer666]

...only seen the Royal Tannebaums? How many of the Christopher Reaves Superman movies were there?

[@ParanoidTheMarvin]

I always though I have trouble reading the captions because I have bad eye sight. My new glasses convinced me that it's just too small and fast for me to read.

[@darthizzle]

Becca's excitement about JK Simmons, followed by her thirsty face when Alfred says her name makes me think I know who her celebrity crush is....

[@romulusnr]

If I think hard I think I can come up with four other Gene Hackman roles though I don't know all their names. There's Enemy of the State, there's the one where he goes "We're here to defend democracy, not to practice it," there's Popeye Doyle in French Connection, and then isn't there one where he plays a priest or something? Which is appropriate seeing as it's communion wafer day...

[@SophiaWoessner]

I didn't expect Jesse Faden Control in Dropout

[@jellymas7]

"opposite brad pitt" made me laugh the hardest ive yet at one of these

Am I the only one who mixes up Carolyn with Amy, and thus figured they knew how this was gonna end at first?

Hint: if she's not started laughing uncontrollably and with tears dripping from her reddened eyes, she's not Amy.

stagflation is when the price stays the same but you get less for the money.. at worst the price goes up but the products get smaller.

[@orangenostril]

"Housing bubble" is actually a figure of speech. "Housing" in this case means "deer," as in a deer is rapidly swelling and expanding and might quite literally pop, which is obviously quite messy. And _that_ is stagflation.
