"Jack, I don't know what we're talking about." That cracks me up every time. Greg's face of despair and fear 😂

[@missbritlolita6348]

All those years at CIA just to be unable to see his son as a stoner... lol

[@andrechaparro2009]

CI WHAT?

[@hasselett]

He's in denial. He's trying to convince himself that Greg is a rotten egg and that his son's a good boy, all in the same stroke. Pretty good writing, to be honest.

[@lisasmith767]

That's usually how it goes.

[@Megumi_Bandicoot]

Robert De Niro went above and beyond with acting Jack Byrnes. He steals the spotlight in every scene he is in.

[@michaelmckenzey9552]

I agree and DeNiro should have been nominated for an Academy Award!

[@B1astFriend]

i think they both did a great job playing off each other!!

[@ffp08]

So alert to what he wants to control, but blind to his own son's debauchery, ironic.

[@B1astFriend]

denny some how earnd his spot in the jacks circle of trust lmao. so i guess thats why jack doesnt target him at all!

[@jihangamal5823]

The look on Stiller's face when Jack closes the door 😄

[@samkresil6011]

Yeah. :) Though, I'm glad Stiller didn't do it back to him because Stiller always does and says completely random things in some scenes.

[@michaelraum3393]

Lol yeah always loved that, looks like he’s about had it 😅

[@joemana2271]

So much for the human lie detector, he cant even detect his own son

[@mateoairaudo5535]

That's a very clever move by the writers. It's always easier to blame someone whom you've yet to meet well than your own son.

[@admirosmanovic1368]

how does jack not know that is his sons jacket lol

[@jmikush]

1:53 "If I find that you are trying to corrupt my firstborn child, I will bring you down baby. I will bring you down to Chinatown." Lol!

[@afriendofbean]

1:17-1:25: "See if I can't trust you Greg then I have no choice but to put you right back outside the circle and once you're out, you're out, there's no coming back." That's doesn't make sense what Jack said because it seems like Greg was kicked out of the circle of trust either here, or when he accidentally gave Debbie a black eye, or when the septic tank overflowed (which Greg didn't do), or when Jinxie the cat ran away because in the restaurant scene after everyone thought Greg found Jinxie, Jack told Greg that he's back in the circle of trust. Plus at the end of the movie when Jack kicked Greg out of the house, it seems like he kicked Greg out of the circle of trust again and then put him back in the circle after they worked out their problems.

[@GenMaster]

Indeed, that's a plot hole I've noticed too. 😄

[@ElectricWarior]

I will bring you down baby!will bring you down to chinatown

[@letsdiscussitoversometea8479]

The changing room exchange was the most interesting part here (psychologically, I mean). The top hat gave the impression to the viewer, that Jack was focused on his *own* appearance, rather than on Greg's drug taking. Just before he says "Did I not clearly explain the circle of trust", he pulls this expression which indicates his "attitude" that he's having toward Greg. That expression ALONE, should be a big warning flag. The way in which Greg was sat down well below Jack's level - while being dressed in a top hat, surrounded by vertical stripes to make him appear that much smaller, served as an (inadvertent) means of intimidation to Greg. It was probably the best choreographed scene in the entire film - extremely relatable.

[@krypton1982]

I think you "analysis" is rather your projection onto the scenes rather than the face value of scene itself. The only thing I can see in the visual design is the placement of greg and the strips and the submissive position to greg realitve to jack. But the first part of your analysis is just conjecture on your part. Sorry.

[@bashbashbashu]

@@krypton1982 analysis of movies is always that, most of the time the director doesn't even intentionally place those metaphors and meaning there really. Like they don't make movies for english classes, so everything is a conjecture aside from intentional placement of characters. So his analysis is pretty valid just much as yours is, its all subjective anyways :)

[@TIM22RoCk]

Judging by this comment I assume somebody got busted puffing the magic dragon or was puffing it when writing this lmao

[@robertdubs9466]

Every time Jack does the 'I'm watching you' sign, I respond with 'Aw, go (sign for poop accompanied by a flatulent noise) yourself!' (As seen on 'Meet the Fockers')

[@ChannelOne-1]

So good!

[@AwkwrdPrtMskrt]

RdN's killing it with the I'm watching you gesture.

[@jayNicks10]

Why didn't Jack say this to Greg? "My son found a device for smoking marijuana in your jacket."

[@Jermster_91]

You would think a former CIA would see that Greg lost his luggage and wouldn't have a jacket.

[@nickyad2785]

He's definitely whats to stay inside the circle

[@rsvsbg1608]

FKING EPIC!! I just look for this very scene to explain ICOT to my biz partner

[@RafaSnaks]

Why would Jack instantly believe the weed wasn't Denny's? Isn't he supposed to be a human lie detector?

[@giovannipenate5325]

He looks like he’s smiling to Greg and thinks it’s a joke 😂😂😂😂

[@Andyscobie]

There should be a law against top hats being worn at weddings, there are not cool, smart or sophisticated just embarrassing and pretentious.

[@Andyscobie]

narnia wonderland Those who believe in preserving the integrity of faishon

[@Raffodude1992]

Jack is a bad guy!!! 😡😡😡

[@jeffreyhunter4966]

Jack should have showed Greg with smoking pipe. It would have given Greg more of a clue of what Jack was talking about

[@DuqueDeLaSerna]

Where can I get a top hat like that?

[@matthewmcvey3494]

It's Denny's and he planted it in Greg's jacket

[@chadguindon6909]

No, it was Denny's jacket to begin with and he just tried to recover the pipe but got caught. Greg was only borrowing it because he had none of his own clothes.

[@jamesh2003]

Danny what were you doing going through Greggs jacket ? No ? Ok 🤷

[@andrewkruzienski770]

It's a sculpture I found in Greg's jacket.

[@chadguindon6909]

This isn't a sculpture, Denny. This is a device for smoking marijuana.

[@tennisuniverse5671]

Reaally?

[@GenMaster]

Not mine...it's not.

[@ejkk9513]

Why do you guys repeat over and over again what we were just WATCHING?

[@Jedtumble]

@@ejkk9513because funny

[@maxwellbrugos9694]

Denny is messed up

[@Mar-zs4kl]

I would have just told Pam am going home because ur dad is falsely accusing me and his making me really uncomfortable. Just my opinion

[@danieldjz]

Bring you down to chinatown

[@makotomikami]

Even my father-in-law (RIP) wasn't this much of an asshole, and he gave us a shotgun wedding.

[@perxky6132]

PS where's danny with momma

[@perxky6132]

Sweet tea 🍵 or toiletree

[@thejoshsings9280]

Jack said nothing about finding the pipe for smoking marihuana

[@jaclynschilt4699]

How could Jack think it's Greg's ? He never had a jacket

[@valeria-militiamessalina5672]

不

[@RyanSmith-wo2pi]

.

[@apollyon_616]

Why are they wearing those hats lol

[@andrechaparro2009]

[@nomaambundy9989]

GFY DENIRO...

[@JaxonSmithers]

Too bad a tux doesn't have pockets.

[@perxky6132]
