First Time Watching HAPPY GILMORE (1996) Movie Reaction & Commentary

[@RyanCarrington]

Who's excited for Happy Gilmore 2 in 2025?! Note: this is a re-upload! I've had quite a few videos blocked this year, so i'm re-editing and re-uploading blocked reactions over November. Hope you don't mind! I've got some new reactions currently sitting in KZbin purgatory. Super frustrating, but I'll get those out ASAP! Definitely struggling more than ever with reaction video uploads. But as always, I'll persevere! Rest assured, I'm always working away in the background 🤙

[@Are_We_Having_Fun_Yet]

Give em hell

[@5hanesBoard]

@@RyanCarrington Your reactions are very rewatchable, so happy to see this one come up again.

[@Dharp666]

Wonder if subway will get into the second one

[@ALT·245]

Not really, they are really ruining some of this good movies with reboots. Like Beverly Hills Cop or Coming to America.

[@GutturalReef]

Rumor is Maxwell Jacob Friedman will going to play Happy's son and protege!

[@gorydetails709]

The homeless caddy is the guy who played Grandma’s Boy. And the limo driver friend in Wedding Singer. And someone in most Adam Sandler movies.

Bro, I’m still devastated that Bob Barkwr died 3½ months before his 100th birthday. I watched that man every day when I was not in school on _The Price Is Right_ in the ’80s and ’90s, and I remember at the atart of a show in ’96 or ‘97 he talked about the movie a little and how swearing was so foreign to him as well as being violent since he usually, ya knoe, gave away cars and money ion TV. Thank fuck someone had the good sense to create a channel devoted to his best episodes. It’s one of my favorites (TPiR The Barker Era) to stream.

[@JWFas]

Bob got as close as possible without going over.

[@Joker_JAK]

​@@JWFas😂 Not really. He could've gotten closer.

[@ProWrestlingWeekly]

25:19 Barker would’ve been about 71 years old here in 1995. He was born in December 1923 and passed away in August 2023, just over 3 months shy of his 100th birthday.

[@JEFFwasHERE...]

He and Betty White both made it so close to the century mark. What a legend.

[@JWFas]

The cut from the Xbox commercial to Happy's ball landing was perfect. PS: The golfer who said, "Grizzly Adams *did* have a beard." is real life pro golfer Lee Trevino.

[@donnyboy6848]

I highly recommend the movies titled Airheads and Bulletproof. They are both great ones with Adam Sandler in them

[@RyanCarrington]

I'll check them out

[@arisucheddar3097]

I second Airheads as a fun movie not enough people are aware of.

[@gallendugall8913]

The like button has its own energy, or life force if you will. Its natural state, or home, on Carrington content is being pushed. Why don’t you send him home? His bags are packed. He has his plane ticket. Bring him to the airport. Send him home.

[@adnap]

INTERESTING FUN FACT: There was no pro golf career, Subway endorsement, fistfight with Bob Barker, or romance with a future star of Modern Family, but the character of Happy Gilmore was inspired by one of Adam Sandler's real life friends. Kyle McDonough, an aspiring hockey star who sent the ball flying on the golf course, eventually joined the British Hockey League and spent some time on the ice in Norway. Also, The Price Is Right host Bob Barker, was a former Navy Pilot and earned his Black Belt in Karate under the tutelage of none other than, Chuck Norris. So yes, he could actually fight.

[@vwlssnvwls3262]

Such a fun movie. I love the Bob Barker (RIP) cameo, because I never thought I would see him like that in my life. :D Oh yeah, and Carl Weathers (RIP) :(

[@bluebear1985]

Also RIP to Joe Flaherty, the jacka** guy.

[@chuppathingy2848]

Chubbs was the Dance Instructor in Heaven.

[@IggyStardust1967]

If you like this movie, you'll flip over Grandma's Boy. I also recommend the movie Fanboys.

[@sean-ew2qv]

He's reacted to Grandma's Boy. Go watch it!

[@RyanCarrington]

Love Fanboys. I have a reaction to Grandma's Boy on the channel 🤙

[@jackieelizabeth8614]

The fight with bob is so iconic

[@agarven1]

I never noticed this till now but when shooter says my right arm is longer than my left hand. I think is a joke of Chubs losing his right hand but Chubs right hand is longer than his left hand lol

[@Zenon0K]

Actually, a lot of the golfing/putting is real. Christopher McDonald (Shooter) begged to shoot his final shot for real, and the director humored him and said they'd take the footage after a few attempts and piece it together and get a crowd reaction before wraping. They used the genuine shot and crowd reaction of his 2nd put, and he's doing all his "Shooterisms" at the director for making it.

[@ReymundoCortez]

I forgot what channel on cable TV but when they showed it they added in the the deleted scenes and in it Adam Sandler throws the orderly Ben Stiller out of a window to get him back for the way he treated his grandma

[@LastTorgoInParis]

its always interesting to me that Ben Stillers character never got payback. we can can just assume he had a long fullfilling career of elder abuse

[@RyanCarrington]

Hopefully there's something in the sequel!

[@thejamppa]

@@RyanCarrington Check Hubie Saves Halloween... That shed's bit light for Hal.

[@Joker_JAK]

​@@thejamppaIt's just called Hubie Halloween.

[@HeidiCrimmins-nb5tx]

Evening handsome, great reaction as always. X

[@agarven1]

Ryan when you brought up the X-Box baby commercial I totally forgot about that. Idk how some commercials got away with it back then but now a days they never make them because everyone gets butt hurt over everything now lmao

[@RyanCarrington]

Tbf it got banned in the UK back then because people were butthurt 💀

[@agarven1]

@ wow that is crazy lol it was on broadcast here in America all the time. It’s crazy how things are now to back then

[@SomeOne-vh1rm]

The alligator scene where he puts his hand inside and takes it out quickly doesn't happen in real life. The alligator has a much faster reaction time then his hand pulling away, he would of been caught and most likely lost the hand, but it's a movie so yeah.

[@Armaldo468]

Alligators are so damn fast in almost all their movements, it’s insane. They might look somewhat sluggish to the untrained eye, but snap your fingers, and bam-they’ve already lunged forward at least half their own body length. And yet for all their speed, strength, and general badassery, they can be just as loving as dogs. (You ever seen videos of people calling to their alligator or crocodile friends? Precious. Obviously you can’t expect to magically make friends with one in the wild just because you want to, but hell, that still applies to dogs if you don’t play your cards right. Crocodilians are just a hell of a lot more powerful. The only species that’s ever truly unreasonable is mankind.) Incredible animals, and easily among my favorites.

[@JeremyAustin-hw1qy]

The song carl sings at the piano is the carpenters they were an American band in the 60s until the early 80s

[@Whateva67]

The golf course where he was fighting Bob Barker was called Furry creek, just north of Vancouver on the way to Whistler, British Columbia.

[@kimmyfreak200]

love the mature dialogue in this movie lmao

[@tylerfoster6267]

Probably said this the first time you posted it, but you've got to check out The Cable Guy (1996), the most underrated Jim Carrey comedy. It's the one time he made a black comedy and audiences didn't like it, so Liar Liar was considered a bit of a comeback project for him. Main reason I'm recommending it here is because it's directed by Ben Stiller (and received an uncredited script pass by Judd Apatow), hot off making the cult favorite "Ben Stiller Show." If you liked seeing Stiller play a darker kind of character, the movie might be a big hit for you.

[@bassbustingman]

I remember like 1998 getting aie in my bike tire and doing the happy Gilmore with the water

[@otakuwolf4ever985]

"Well, moron, good for Happy Gilm-OH MY GOD!!!" Could we take a break, Mr. Shooter needs to change his pants.

[@mwflanagan1]

Great reaction, as usual. I really enjoy your vibe, and hope your subscribership increases. If that is your goal, may I suggest more frequent videos? If not, I’ll still enjoy your output.

[@RyanCarrington]

Annoyingly, I've got 6 videos backed up with copyright issues. I'm always working away in the background, but I can only go as fast as youtube let's me. I can't believe there was a time where I got 3 videos out per week.

[@mwflanagan1]

@ We’ll be here for you when you post. Good luck pushing them out, and thanks for your efforts.

[@Canadianfreedomfighter]

Bob Barker was apparently trained by Chuck Norris it was in a documentary.

[@adnap]

Two things, you have the same outro music as LFR Family. Not sure if you knew that. And I love the (Helena Bonham Carter's) Marla Singer portrait.

[@RyanCarrington]

They sound like they have good taste. I'm a massive Fight Club fan. Especially, that shot! I had to get that printed 🤙

[@danny619wrestlefan]

Happy Gilmore 2 will be out around march & April next year

[@ProWrestlingWeekly]

35:10 He says, “Happy, the gold jacket’s yours! Shooter’s gonna choke!”

[@Jake__v]

The Waterboy came out after Happy Gilmore

[@TheTaelus]

The lack of Clifford (1994) hurts

[@agarven1]

The mini golf that Happy plays on was made in in a parking lot in Canada where the film was made. After production they tore it down. I think they should have kept the mini golf course for real. It be a big tourist attraction in Canada lol also Ryan you should check out a skit with Bob Barker and Adam Sandler of Bob being in the hospital and have another fight with each other. It is a funny video on KZbin and and only a few minutes long.

[@BouillaBased]

Lee Trevino is one of the best parts of this movie. But apparently he regrets doing it, because of all the cursing.

[@RyanCarrington]

Oh, fuck.

[@jackieelizabeth8614]

I just noticed that his happy place is at a golf course

[@ivankawnartist]

I had a feeling this was a re-upload. Heh. Glad I noticed.

[@RyanCarrington]

This was blocked a long time ago. You're memory is a lot better than mine 😂

[@ivankawnartist]

@RyanCarrington I liked the reaction so I guess it stuck in my head. I had given it a like again when I saw it anyway.

[@robertbunting3117]

Great reaction. The homeless caddy is Alan Covert who cowrote and starred in 'Grandma's Boy'

[@RyanCarrington]

I did a reaction to that!

[@kimmyfreak200]

3:30 this part kinda reminds me of this hilarious mastercard BJ commercial... its on channel chris graham ... the last part at the end is a riot

[@airs1234]

Love the Hat mate. Hope you have a good weekend.

[@RyanCarrington]

Same for you, bro! Have a good one!

[@adamdarmstaedter1256]

You should look up The BEN STILLER SHOW. It only lasted 1 season, but it's great!! Also stars Bob Odenkirk, Andy Dick, and Janeane Garofalo.

[@coreyrees840]

Not in hell in little Nicky, he’s in Heaven, he’s the dance instructor for happy mom and the other angels “it’s all in the hips” lol

It's been a while since I've watched it. I think I was still in my early teens 😅

[@salsonny]

While you were telling your story of falling on the ice, to set up the plot, the coaches were commenting on how great is slap sjot was.

I can't wait!

[@jamesmoore4003]

I remember the first time I saw this movie in the theater….middle of the afternoon and me and 3 other friends were just about the only ones in there….maybe a handful of other people. When he first meets Chubbs and shows him the wooden hand with his long ass arm….omg….we smoked a big doobie before going and we were just howling with laughter at that hand and long arm.😂😂😂

Carl weathers also played apollo creed in the rocky movies and he was in predator which I've never seen haha 😂

[@stevesheroan4131]

I’m in a quandary about who’s the bigger douche, Christopher McDonald as Shooter or Hart Bochner as Ellis in Die Hard. Either way, whoever wins is the champion of all time.

[@Armaldo468]

Ellis was the idiot trying to appease the bad guys, right? Shooter McGavin is the bigger douche, hands down. This guy epitomizes the word.

[@stevesheroan4131]

@ Yeah, Ellis is the guy hitting on John McClaine’s wife right in front of him, and does the “show him the watch” bit right before his smug “It’s a Rolex” line, then hits us with the “Hans….Booby” line. I don’t know, if you go back and watch Die Hard again you may decide it’s a closer race than you think. Ellis even throws in some Xenophobia for us with his “I sign million dollar contracts for breakfast, I think I can handle this Euro-trash”. He’s really a world class d-word himself, lol.

[@Armaldo468]

@@stevesheroan4131 Oh god. Good point. I wasn’t thinking about all that stuff; for some reason I primarily tend to think of Ellis’s embarrassingly clumsy efforts to smooth things over with Hans and his boys-even straight up getting himself killed thanks to his lack of foresight. (Because presenting yourself as a friend of someone the bad guys are trying to snuff out is in no way a terrible idea.🙄🤦‍♂️) I was thinking he wasn’t so douchey in that part, but yeah, it’s a closer contest than I was thinking. I do think Shooter is more of an ill-willed son of a bitch than Ellis (I suspect Shooter likely would have sold everyone out for his own gain, had he been in Ellis’s shoes), but in terms of overall douchiness, I’m not sure I can even decide. They’re both crap people.

[@stevesheroan4131]

@@Armaldo468 I think Ellis probably withheld the info about Holly being John's wife in hopes that if Hans dispatched John it would leave the door open for Ellis to swoop in. That would probably take him out of douche territory and put him in the scumbag pool-along with Carter Burke from Aliens.

[@ReymundoCortez]

They forget to mention Bob is a black and evrn trained with Chuck Norris

[@Joker_JAK]

Do you mean a blackbelt? Lol

[@GutturalReef]

The question of the day is: What's RC's typical go to order at Subway?

[@RyanCarrington]

God, I haven't enjoyed a Subway for years! I used to be a Subway addict and visited way too many ropey establishments. But, it used to be a Meatball Marinara with southwest and sweet onion sauce. Always had corn in there as well. Integral! I just went to Vegas, and my mate bought a Subway in a casino that cost him $20. What made it worse was that they didn't have any of the salad and sauces he would've had in the UK. So he basically bought a sandwich he didn't really like, for a ridiculous price 💀

[@ryanbiggs8265]

AYOOOOOOO MY BOY!!!!! Another adam sandler diamond lol love the videos man, fucking hilarious my guy. Support from Texas here brother. Also i just checked Patreon and im still God Tier but i didnt see my name :/ lol maybe its an error

[@RyanCarrington]

Ahh it's because this is a re-upload and I've had it re-uploaded for a couple of months to make sure I don't have any issues before making public. I've got about 5 more like this I the chamber, so expect those. I've got 3 new reactions. I'm trying to get out where you're listed. they get through the initial youtube checks, but then around every 12 hours, they're rechecked and blocked. One of them is The Crow, which I was hoping to have out for Halloween! That gives an idea of how long I spend in the background trying to get reactions uploaded 💀 It's so annoying but comes with the territory. Although, it's way worse than it used to be. I feel like KZbin is really turning against reaction content. Anyway, I'm hoping to make a video public later today, so keep an eye out! Thanks for the support! 🤙

[@ryanbiggs8265]

@ I really appreciate you taking the time to explain that man; just shows you actually give a damn about your crew 🤙🏻 I know I speak for a shit ton of people when I say thank you for your content.

Why didn't Happy make payments to the IRS to stay the sale of Grandma's house? They don't require a lump sum payment.

[@RyanCarrington]

I'm guessing they're like me and are completely clueless to the US system 😂

[@Joker_JAK]

Probably because the guy didn't tell Happy that. He said if they get the money by a certain time they can buy the house back.

[@russellward4624]

It was definitely a change to see Bob Barker beating up Adam sandler. Thats what makes it funny.
