I know I comment this all the time, but we'd appreciate it if you reviewed the following things: 1. HAUNTED CASTLE (2001 FILM) 2. 7 FACES OF DR. LAO 3. THE DR. PHIL SHOW

[@thehonestreviewer7754]

Meet the Spartans, the movie kids bought tickets to just so they could sneak into Rambo. That's not a joke, btw, theaters reported this actually happening.

[@PowerGlove79]

They made the right choice. I'd rather them watch 2 hours of bloody violence than one minute of a friedberg and seltzer film

[@christiankallio8586]

Smart kids

[@mrcritical6751]

Honestly knowing how disturbing Rambo 4 is, I might actively choose Meet The Spartans over that, would rather see bad comedy than witness the horrors of the Burmese beheading people

[@CTladiesman]

Really???? Wow!!!!

[@gryphonofmight]

that would explain why this did well at the box office

[@MforMovesets]

Oh NO. He literally remembered this one so we don't have to.

[@chasehedges6775]

Sooooo true.

[@chasehedges6775]

It’s what Doug is good at😂😂😂😂

[@walrusArmageddon]

Its finally applying to our generation

[@kooperjerome3335]

MforMovesets? I didn't know you watched Nostalgia Critic...

[@FatMarioHeads]

9:25 seeing Doug mention a random Pokémon that most fans of the games don’t even look back at fondly is something I never expected

[@DRKLCNS1]

a; im sad more people don't reference Eternatus, its cool b; it was a perfect reference

[@ianr.navahuber2195]

it is so funny considering he hates Pokémon (or minimum is NOT a fan). So HE of ALL PEPLE making a reference to a pokémon outside of Gen I, but in particular Gen VIII , is impressive on its own

[@IamMeHere2See]

I feel it would have been funnier if he fully committed & said “Eternamax Eternatus,” because that’s even _bigger._

[@somerandofromoregon]

Hating something isn’t the same as not knowing anything about it.

[@heyitsgabe1093]

That hit me like when House prayed to Arceus.

[@cosmicking5024]

Considering how passionate Zach Synder is about 300, I’ve always wondered his thoughts on this

[@erichfiedler1481]

I'd rather watch all of Zach Snyder's Netflix exclusive content over the Movie Movies, meaning Army of the Dead (plus it's prequel film), both Rebel Moon films (the director's cuts specifically), and Twilight of the Gods are more interesting than anything by Seltzer and Friedberg

[@cadendicky1855]

At least he put some kind of effort into those movies, unlike Seltzer and Friedberg.

[@MazeDaGr8]

Even Zack Snyder puts more effort into these movies than literally anything Freiberg & Seltzer do let alone think of

[@mrcritical6751]

@@MazeDaGr8Snyder’s issue has never been lack of effort, it’s just lack of talent

[@kingsleycy3450]

At least the film didn't seem to make fun of anything in 300. It just references the movie and that's it

[@wstine79]

Let's thank Doug for bringing the Turkey early for Thanksgiving.

[@chasehedges6775]

Sooooo true. It’s gonna be delicious.

[@toastrave7820]

The turkey's late for me as i'm Canadian but i understand that Doug's is American

[@DarkOverlord96]

So, fun fact, that Tupac Shakur "Yo Mama" joke? They actually stole it from one of MostOffensiveVideo's Peanuts ghetto parodies, it's one of the "Yo Mama" jokes Peppermint Patty tells Charlie Brown over the phone. They basically stole a joke from a small group of content creators because they knew they wouldn't sue as they want to stay anonymous due to the immensely offensive humor in their parodies. That's how low Setzer and Friedberg are willing to go when writing their comedies.

[@gryphonofmight]

that is disgusting

[@foxhound13]

Ah a man of culture! Speaking of which now I am going to watch the MLK special of ghetto peanuts (since it’s just a remake from the thanksgiving special).

[@koneheadcokehead4981]

Another Fun Fact: Former film critic turned screenwriter and author C. Robert Cargill recalls seeing the film with what was the loudest, dumbest group of moviegoers he'd ever encountered up to that point. Fifteen minutes in to Meet The Spartans, everyone in the auditorium walked out, complaining how terrible the movie was. This was the only time during the movie Cargill had laughed.

[@indianaCurtis]

He also predicted the F.U rating that Korey used starting with disaster movie the following year 😂

[@kingsleycy3450]

Ah man, the Spill days were my core memory

[@docvince1491]

And Korey Coleman admitted to sneaking into the movie.

[@gryphonofmight]

that is awesome

[@ahmeddemha]

The Spill review of this is classic.

[@ponygon777]

Rest in Peace, Jim Abrahams. A true spoof master the "Movie Movie" guys will never be.

[@gryphonofmight]

they will never even make it to living in his shadow....they are so far beneath him

[@manuelvasconcelos8982]

That's because all the "MOVIE MOVIE" duo can do is making pointless references to movies they clearly never even watched, pointless unfunny jokes and generally not knowing how to make a good movie when it kicks them in the nuts

I will never forgive Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer for destroying the parody genre.

[@gryphonofmight]

they ran it right into the ground

[@koneheadcokehead4981]

To quote the late great Norm Macdonald and something I’m sure Method Man might be thinking about right now is “Comedy is surprises, so if you're intending to make somebody laugh and they don't laugh, that's funny.”

[@gryphonofmight]

RIP Norm

[@PatricksCrazyPlace]

"Your mom is so dumb, she thought Tupac Shakur was a Jewish holiday" I hate this movie because that one line was the only time I laughed in the entire film...and I will never forget this movie because of that one stupid line that made me laugh. It almost seems evil. Its like they said "We are going to suck the entire time...except for this ONE LINE. That will create a brain worm that will cause the film to live forever!"

[@gryphonofmight]

and it was a stolen joke

[@Ladykat1808]

You'll be pleased to know they stole it apparently.

[@foxhound13]

It’s from a ghetto peanuts special mostoffensivecartoon. They are all great. And read comments for the mlk special, they are better when teachers thought they were real and accidentally showed them to classes.

[@codyman5540]

Fun Fact - this film was my FIRST-ever experience to movie parodies. Not Airplanes, not Naked Gun... *THIS.* For years, I thought it was fine...until I grew older. AND NOW, I don't even wanna rewatch this movie anymore.

[@Smokingwrecker]

10:02 a real KZbin ad popped up right when Doug explained how to force a joke.

[@heyitsgabe1093]

Yes, he placed it there

[@koneheadcokehead4981]

A Reference Fact: One of the specific references Captain (played by Kevin Sorbo) makes is that he'll "go Hercules on your ass" when he was fighting references his role as Hercules: The Legendary Journeys

[@ArcticFox6428]

10:02 The fact that I got an ad right after he said that

She's wearing covers, but yeah, it's pretty close. Carmen isn't afraid of nudity, though if you catch my meaning.

😂😂😂😅😅😅0:12, Nostalgia Critic isn't wrong about what he said just now.

[@kingsleycy3450]

Another Fun Fact: There’s a Wilhelm Scream of a Persian warrior falling off a cliff

RIP Jim Abram's the father of Airplane! Police Squad, naked gun etc a real spoof master! 😢

[@erichfiedler1481]

When I heard you were gonna review a film starring Kevin Sorbo in it with a look of "this is gonna suck", I assumed it was God's Not Dead, especially when your buddy Cinema Snob covered that film years ago, yet somehow didn't cover the latest film the writers of that movie directed

[@michaelwood9559]

This movie is special to me. It’s the first time I ever saw a movie in theatres, left and said to the person I went with “that movie sucked”

[@doctorfrosty3546]

9:25 Raises the question though. Can Eternatus poop? Look at it. If any Pokémon doesn't need to poop, it's that one.

The way Critic described that Family Guy joke made me laugh because it’s absolutely something Modern Family Guy would do.

[@akirayamaguchithekitsune4010]
