Ah yes, the unforgettable Gilbert Goldcat.

"Is...that..Gilbert...Gold...Cat?"........Priceless

[@isa1dme0w]

My family and I saw this in the theater when it first came out. And yes, we did sing in the end. Still do to this day!

[@RaceSimCentral]

This is one of the first representations of a non-verbal child I ever remember seeing. Of course it only touched on the subject, but my youngest daughter is non-verbal autistic and it really hits home with me that this movie is about hope for the future. Whether its for your job, relationships, life, kids, etc.

[@wubranch1]

I was a kid, and when I saw this in the theater, no one sang, but no one wanted to leave the theater because they were so entertained by Bill Murray. It was one of the warmest feeling I’ve ever felt while watching a movie.

[@ericstark5094]

I was 18 when I saw the movie in a packed theater. It only took a second and the theater erupted into song.

[@BLagather]

“did anyone sing this in the theaters?”. Actually, yes we did!

[@nickcolbert9615]

“Put a little love in your heart!” 👍🏻

[@lucasvincent2875]

And in front of the TV every year!

[@johnjr757]

Not in the theater we were in, but we went to a daytime showing because it was sold out the night before. Nighttime showings were probably looser. Lol

[@Dilirium23]

I love that this movie had 4 Murray brothers in it. His dad in 1955 is Bill's brother Brian. His brother is his actual brother John, and a guest at his brother's party is their brother Joel.

[@Moonlightgraeme]

All 3 of bill Murray’s brothers are in scrooged.

[@antoineporche-rideaux7929]

Fun fact the guy who played Bill Murray's character's dad is his older brother and and the one who played his brother is his younger brother as is the guy who was sitting on the couch at his brother's Christmas party with the blonde haired woman . the woman who played his brother's girlfriend was on that TV show with David Spa about the fashion magazine on NBC

[@BlackavarWD]

David Spade and Wendie Malick in *Just Shoot Me!*

[@nicolem376]

Beginning: “I don’t like kids” Halfway: “I love him” End: cries when he speaks 😂

[@klayers1555]

My favorite line of any Christmas movie - "The bitch hit me with a toaster". Having it embroidered on a pillow case...

[@wadeheaton123]

My Brother-in-law and I saw this in the Theater. We Sang. And did the high and low voices.

[@bluebear1985]

The song everyone was singing at the end was also played during the closing credits, but that version of "Put a Little Love In Your Heart" was a duet with Annie Lennox and Al Green.

[@BloodylocksBathory]

Some fun facts: Two of the homeless people, the woman and the guy next to Herman, were married in real life. Ann and Logan Ramsey played a married couple several times in their careers, including an amusing cameo in Any Which Way You Can. Playing Frank's dad was Bill Murray's actual brother, Brian Doyle-Murray, who as been in quite a few Murray films including Ghostbusters II. All three of Bill's brothers have roles in the film.

[@thezdbailey]

The waiter is Socrates Johnson from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

[@lucasvincent2875]

Excellent!

[@cyborgcable]

SO-crates! 😆

[@skyden24195]

I agree, the film's horror, humor, and tenderness is well balanced. My personal, top favorite thing about this movie: Karen Allen.

[@PatrickPrejusa]

saw this in theaters, it was a party. we were all singing along.

[@edwinpayne2231]

YES! Everyone in the theater as well as people in the hallway came in from other theaters joined in singing. One of the best Christmas moments of my life!💖🎼☃️🎄

[@BenLemay77]

"I don't like kids" A few minutes later "Awwwww sweet baby" :D You're both fun to watch, keep it going! :)

[@jeremycates3570]

"The B*$ch hit me with a toaster"---love this line so much. I use it when playing Call of Duty when someone sneaks up behind me and assassinates me ....lol :P

[@garrettreganhobbs6949]

One of the little touches I noticed recently was when Frank was at his childhood home and his dad walks in. His dad lights a cigarette and Frank leans in to smell the smoke, like he was reminiscing on the smells he remembers from his childhood.

[@canadianscratcher7834]

This movie was released in November 1988 almost a month after John Houseman's passing. He plays himself as the guy reading Scrooge in front of a fireplace.

[@sonamadinolf6096]

I watched this in the theater when I was 8. A lot of people sang at the end. My favorite Christmas move.

[@michaelccozens]

Apparently Murray's final speech was largely improvised, against the advice of the screenwriters, who thought he was having a breakdown. Director Donner, however, loved it.

[@Madbandit77]

Interesting.I heard Murray and Donner didn't get along.

[@michaelccozens]

@@Madbandit77 I wouldn't doubt it. Murray's got quite the reputation for being hard to work with. On "What about Bob?", he reportedly threw a producer in a lake.

[@StarShipGray]

The waiter was Socrates in Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure.

[@jsapcakrrow]

I saw this in the theater & yes we did do the sing along at the end. It was great! I love this movie & watch it at least once during the Christmas season every year.

[@raymondmoore5476]

Before I even start the video, I have to say that I am THRILLED you're watching a movie that did what so many others didn't and that's become an INSTANT CLASSIC the year it was released. This is my favorite version of "A Christmas Carol". I already know before starting this I am going to not only laugh at the movie but the reactions, in a good way of course. You two are "Happy Contagious" to us which is why we love ya! God bless and Merry Christmas to you both and your families.

[@peterbooth1525]

I've watched several of these reviews of Scrooged and no one has commented on the definition in his workout area. "Cross: a thing you nail people to".

[@jkt4748]

It’s also a noun 😏!

[@wampa25]

I do believe that this is the only movie to feature the 4 Murray brothers. In addition to Bill, Brian plays his father, John plays his brother and Joel plays his brother's friend.

[@AutoPilate]

Joel is one of the people in the boardroom in the beginning too, right?

[@wampa25]

@@AutoPilate Don't remember. Definitely the other guy with John at the "beer commercial" party. He was also in One Crazy Summer with Bobcat.

[@Randerson2409]

I love that Emily is in shock at how assholish all these people are, while Matthew just cackles maniacally to one side. It's glorious

[@yungathart7801]

"B*tch hit me with a toaster!" ... My favoite quote from a Christmas movie ever! 🤣🤣🤣

[@LordLOC]

Yes, in my theater people sung when Murray did that at the end. Including me, even though I was only like 13 or 14 and was super shy, we all sung and had a great time.

[@SaikoKujo]

My cat watched American Dad once and swatted at Klaus the fish. Just a coincidence, but I got a picture of it! So cute! 😍😻

[@bloodygoodjune9292]

Yep. We all sang. I was 14 and saw it with a group of friends and one of their dads and we sang the song all the way home,too.

[@RobFMDetroit]

Fun piece of trivia about this movie -- it's the only movie to star all four Murray brothers. Brian Doyle Murray plays his dad in the flashback, John Murray plays his brother James and Joel Murray is one of the guests at James' Christmas party.

[@SupremeCommanderBaiser]

And Bill Murray? :-p

[@johnkennethwiseman682]

Not only that but many actors who have been in Donners films are in this too. Steve Zahn, Catherine Hicks to name a few

[@Madbandit77]

Joel plays Bill's brother James. John is one of the guests.

[@timberwolf5211]

@@Madbandit77 Nope, it's actually the other was around. John Murry, who plays James is also in a funny movie of his own called Moving Violations, made around the same time as this. =0)

[@Madbandit77]

@@timberwolf5211 You're right. Mea culpa.

[@ToniMcGinty]

When I saw it in the movie theatre, the only people there were my parents and I. I sang the whole way through and ran from one side of the theatre of the other to be each part as Bill called them out, while my parents glared on in disapproval. Merry Christmas!

[@adamclifton29]

13:35 the waiter is Socrates from Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure

[@TxSonofLiberty]

Wow! This goes along with the Clue Singing Telegram Girl as people you didn't realize were Excellent Historical Figures.

[@JakkFrost1]

There was such a missed opportunity for a gag in that movie. They should have used Bach instead of Beeth-oven, then they could have said "We need to get Bach to the future!"

[@daryn78912]

Just saw this reaction the other night. My husband, sis-in-law and I saw this in the theaters when it was out, and of course, everyone sang along, just as we were instructed to. It was a lot of fun!

[@sharonwheeler2786]

Yeah, my friends and I sang and clapped along in the theater when it released. And if you ever get to see it in the theater, it happens nowadays, too.

[@seanmikhael1767]

'Gilbert Goldcat'. I can't imagine what that would sound like.

[@godmagnus]

Just a loud screech

[@seanmikhael1767]

At such an ungodly frequency, it rips the spacetime continuum opening the doorway to Hell through which all evil spills and the end of days commence.

[@orko714]

"That bitch hit me with a toaster."

[@jasonkreider8954]

That old guy nailed it pluto tv now has a 24 hr dog channel and 24 hr cat channel

[@Orlor]

Haven't seen anyone mention this yet. The Ghost of Christmas Past was David Johansen, the lead vocal of The New York Dolls. He later became Buster Poindexter when he became the band leader of the Saturday Night Live band back in the 80's. Also, Herman was Michael Pollard. A veteran actor of TV way back in the 60's and 70's. I remember him in Star Trek and Lost in Space.

[@Madbandit77]

Pollard, who passed away some years ago, earned a Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor in "Bonnie & Clyde".

[@billsimonis]

A very underrated movie. I watch this movie and Christmas Vacation every holiday season. This movie was drected by the same person who directed all the lethal weapon movies.

[@williewilliams6571]

I watched this in a theater in Pensacola, Florida when I was stationed there. YES, people did sing. One day until Christmas- PLEASE do "A Christmas Story", but don't shoot your eye out.

[@CaptainRetroStation]

"A Christmas Story" is STILL my favorite Christmas movie!

[@Believer1980]

Imo this is one of the most underrated Christmas films ever. It's freaking awesome. More Christmas films should be as comically dark and scary like this. As you can tell I'm more a Halloween guy that a Christmas guy .

[@Wiantjie1989]

Fun Fact: Bill Murray's 3 real life brothers have guest appearances in this movie. His one brother is one of the guests at his brother's Christmas party, he sits next to the girl who says "How did he know qe were playing that?" In the end. His other real life brother plays his brother James in the movie and his oldest brother plays his farther when he goes back in time to his childhood home.😁😁

[@kageakuma3009]

my goodness, why has it taken this long to find your channel? Finding your channel is my early christmas gift!

[@JustGrowingUp84]

It's a new channel, barely a month old. But it's great!

[@christopherschreiber5805]

My favorite: after Preston tells Frank about the pet statistics, Frank turns to Grace and whispers "Call the police!" TRADING PLACES or THE REF next please!

[@professionaljackass]

The waiter that she thought was Terry Bradshaw was in "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" as Socrates.

[@WedgeTheEagle]

This is one of the few holiday movies I must watch every year. Carol Kane's Ghost of Christmas Present is my favorite.

[@PuppetDungeon]

Saw it in theater and yes, everyone sang. It helped that the surround sound made it sound like people were singing around you and everyone kind of joined in.

[@ComicPhreak]

They guy playing as his father is Bill's older brother.

[@chaseroush6503]

The reason you get a Nightmare Before Christmas vibe is because the score is done by Danny Elfman. He scored the two Batman movies with Michael Keaton, the Spider-Man movie from 2002, and had a hand in the Justice League score. If you want another good Christmas movie scored by Elfman, watch Batman Returns.

[@bcollins2407]

I saw this movie in the theater, and the audience sang - It was great! Also, consider reacting to "Tucker and Dale vs Evil".

[@Fardawg]

I highly recommend "A Christmas Story" 1983. It was one of our family's biggest yearly films and is one of my favorite films of any genre. I think you'll get a kick out of it; very funny. Not a holiday film, but I also recommend "Fiddler on the Roof." I'm not a big fan of musicals, yet Fiddler is one of my favorite films. Glad to see UHF on the list!

[@kiranolan7104]

I loved A Christmas Story growing up. We watched it every single year for so long! What surprises me is that not everyone loves it. I wonder if it's one of those movies that you had to see as a kid to love.

[@TheSaxcat]

Please react to “Trading Places”w/Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy. The story begins a few days before Christmas and ends just after New Year’s. So good 😊

[@eliberdinner4808]

Netflix's "A Very Murry Christmas" is a good surreal double feature with "Scrooged" "Emmett Otter's Jug-band Christmas" by Jim Henson is sweet and wonderful.

[@kolaholiker]

One of the best things in this movie. Bill Murray’s sign in his office „cross: something to nail people to.“

[@MrTech226]

Man who plays Bill's Frank's brother is real life brother, John Murray. Bill's other brother who plays his dad when he was a kid is Brian-Doyle Murray.

[@garretthenderson5738]

Another Murray brother, Joel, was one of the Christmas party guests.

I know all Brothers plus Bill owns restaurant chain with 2 locations: Florida and Illinois - Murray Brothers' Caddyshack named famous movie that Bill is involved.....

[@AlmostParadise_RK]

If you haven't seen it, I would recommend "Better Off Dead" (1985).

[@eriklarson7023]

Every time I watch this movie I make sure to watch through the credits. The Annie Lennox/Al Green cover of “Put a Little Love in your Heart” is my favorite version of that song.

[@mugwump242]

I was in my mid-teens when I saw this movie with my parents, grandparents, and siblings (it was a yuletide, family activity) upon its release in the theaters. Yes, more audience members than not sang along with joyous abandon at the end. Really enjoying themselves. This was a Christmastime release, after all, so most were in the holiday spirit.

[@michaelminch5490]

The insidious thing about this movie is that is has you laughing your head off almost constantly until the final act, then sucker-punches you right in the feels. Personal favorite scene - The Ballbreaker Suite.

[@jackdubz4247]

I watch this movie every Christmas Eve. It's a tradition I have been following for the past twenty years. Such a great movie.

[@philthemovieguy81]

Scrooged is one of my favorite Christmas movies i watch every year so when I saw this in my KZbin feed I immediately clicked on it and liked it before the video started!

[@torontomame]

Late comment here. Saw it in theaters and DEFINITELY sang along at the end. P.S. No matter how often I've watched this, and totally know it's coming every time, the "god bless us, everyone" always makes tears immediately spring my eyes. Every single time. 😭🥰

[@Trikeboy2]

The Night the Reindeer Died: The most American Christmas movie never made.

[@prprod]

Saw it in theaters 4 times the week it came out and all 3 times most of the people shed a tear at "that part" and everyone sang, everyone even followed the instructions Murry gave LOL it was awesome. What made it even better the 3 times after the first was watching reactions and wondering if anyone will sing. It's one of those you have to moments. Love you guys. You make a perfect reaction team. Love his deadpan waiting for it expressions and her laugh is incredible. Keep it up guys, you're the best. Peace

[@asterix7842]

Bill Murray and Bobcat Goldthwaite in the same movie? Yes please. Bill Murray was told to just ad lib that speech at the end. Frank Cross' dad was played by Brian Doyle-Murray, Bill's brother. He appears in many of Bill's films. Frank's brother was played by John Murray, also Bill's brother. I've seen this movie many times and I had a hard time getting used to it with the image reversed.

[@ljb8684]

Yes they did...most stayed until the end...

[@davidge5856]

They were singing (and laughing) in my theater too; very cool experience. I hope theatrical films make a comeback.

[@ericmarois6960]

My favorite quote ever from this movie, easy: when Claire asks to go to the IBC tower and the ghost answers her: "Which floor ?" That one cracks me up every time. As for a segment of the movie , the ghost of Christmas Present is likely my favorite character.

[@RickM57]

Tis the Season. A must watch is The Santa Clause and It's a wonderful life.... And yes I saw it in the theater, we did sing at the end... LOL

[@angellondian7628]

The real men? Lol

[@Outlaw8908]

My favorite Christmas Carol movie was the one with George C Scott and David Warner. Though I do have a list of versions I liked. Scrooged is up there too.

[@fourthdrawerdown6297]

5:30: Gilbert Gold Cat. Yep, that’s the guy.

[@Enkijamenk]

“Did anybody actually sing?” I did, for one! Admittedly, I was 8, so. But so did some other people. I saw it in the old Beekman Theater in Manhattan’s Upper East Side. ...The extra-fancy part of the UES, south of East 72nd Street, in the Lenox Hill sub-neighborhood, and even that crowd sang a bit. This movie gets to everyone, I think. It sort of sneaks up on you. When Frank starts crying during his manic soliloquy at the end, I always lose it. And considering that the population of Lenox Hill is mostly made up of “Frank Crosses,” I imagine it hit quite a few of them, too.

[@jamestriche5480]

This is like the 5th comment where the person was the same age as me when this was in theaters. 1980 represent!

[@mrlol2238]

Can’t wait for February when you watch Groundhog Day. Great theory, I though same thing but I was thinking it was his wife’s cats, thus he was doing it because of her. Great movie, great reaction.

[@chris...9497]

I saw it new, in the theater, and people sang.

[@Krytos911]

I really need to rewatch this. I "saw" it once as a kid, but so many scenes freaked me out. The last ghost, and the rib cage prison...just nope. Freaked me out as a kid! Also, Parks and Rec reference :P (Not going to lie, I heard the line and knew I knew it, just couldn't place where - which is annoying, I'm currently watching the series with a friend! We just started season 5)

[@mudball35]

When we watched it in the theater, a few people were singing.

[@loslickolmaaan7932]

You guys definitely have to watch "Murder by Death"!

Can't remember how many people in my theatre sang but I can remember singing softly to myself. LOL

[@aerolitos0]

Check out "A Christmas Story" (1983). That's a great christmas movie. Very funny too.

[@jamestriche5480]

I can't speak for everyone, but my mother and I saw this in a theater in Memphis, TN when I was 8, and everyone was indeed singing and clapping at the end, also most were saying Merry Christmas to each other on the way to the parking lot.

[@danh8804]

Yep, people were into it. The last few minutes of "Scrooged" really work well, it's a clean fourth wall break like nothing else, and honestly Murray was probably mostly winging this.

[@teynaum]

Just found you guys today, Love it! Love how you guys are doing old school movies from the 80-90s especially random movies that not a lot of people know of. This movie is top 5 for me, just reminds me so much of my childhood. Keep it up!

Bill Murray's brothers played his brother and his father.

[@TheJabbate1]

This movie was one of the rare instances where a movie had one of the roughest production yet it turned out so good. The acting styles of Bill Murray (improv) and Karen Allen (theater) clashed so much that nearly every shot of them together needed 20 or so takes.
