Stay Puft Marshmallow Man | Film Clip | GHOSTBUSTERS | With Captions

One of the best things about this scene is the fact Stay Puft wasn't in the movie trailer at all so it was a total surprise. These days with every movie having about a dozen trailers you can pretty much plot out the entire movie by watching them.

[@Emperorcalebtine]

It was definitely a horror movie to me when I saw it in 1986 as a little kid.

[@Supperdude9]

A lot of us who grew up with the movie as kids took it seriously, that Ghostbusting was a profession. It wasn't a comedy, it was real for us. It also allowed kids to play as Ghostbusters in the school yard. Instead of facing off against each other, they worked together against invisible ghosts. That's what it was so great about Ghostbusters. It was played straight. Even something as silly as a Stay Puft Marshmallow Man showing up because it was a random thought was real. It could actually happen, because random thoughts did this.

It's only as an adult you realise just how Stay Puft could've gone the other way in turning the ultimate battle in to a bit of joke. The noises Stay Puft makes as well as the sinister smile combined with an angry expression ensures that you do in fact take it seriously. You can see why Reitman initially was on edge about Stay Puft. Also in adulthood, unless it's just me, even as an adult, when Gozer is talking fast, I never really understood word for word what she said, as an adult, you still have to strain, I am surprised that wasn't dealt with in '84.

[@orbitalbutt6757]

One of them eventually would have thought of something, like Godzilla or the beast from revelations, or god forbid J. Edgar Hoover. Ray saved all their asses and probably the world by picking a giant fluffy candy man who most certainly doesn’t have atomic breath or Hell Stuff or J. Edgar Hoover’s many unnatural powers. Good going, Ray

[@thomasecker9405]

@@orbitalbutt6757 Agreed, and I daresay that it was actually incredibly clever. Not only did he pick something easy for them to handle, but in picking a rip-off of the Michelin Man with no known powers to him or anyone who bought the brand, he activities restricted Gozer's power, and limiting the destruction that Gozer created to literally almost nothing (cause a fist made out of soft, malleable marshmallows is not going to do that much damage, let's just be honest).

[@KYoung-kj7hr]

Imagine he thought of a Xenomorph with acid blood.

[@NohjAnec]

I wonder if Gozer felt humiliated after realizing that such a silly-looking form (Stay-Puft) was chosen. I mean c'mon, you can't be scared of Stay-Puft no matter how big he is! He is so adorable lol.

[@anubis19801]

You should try hunting down a one-shot comic published by IDW 5-6 years back called Ghostbusters Deviations. Here's the outline from the GB wiki:- In an alternate timeline, the Ghostbusters chose not to cross the streams. The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man took over Manhattan and coated the city in its marshmallow-like substance. To make matters worse, it expelled sentient poop dubbed Mini Pufts. Gozer was not pleased with being bound to the form of Stay Puft. It was disturbed by the sound of its voice, having its expression stuck in a smile, and being adorable. It found the only thing as tall as it were trees and buildings and became lonely. It was a nightmare. The Stay Puft form was bound to this dimension and Gozer was bound to the Stay Puft form. It wanted to go back to its home dimension, thus liberating itself from the form, but could not do so by itself. Stay Puft walked to the Firehouse and peeked through the hole in the ceiling at the Ghostbusters, greeting them a "Hey, guys. What's up?" The Ghostbusters responded by shooting at them. He spit on them. Seven and half minutes later, the Ghostbusters finished processing what Gozer wanted. They agreed to help but refused to cross the streams. An hour later, Egon and Ray thought of releasing and recruiting Tempore Ruga, a ghost with the power to fold time. At first, Tempore wasn't interested in helping then Winston pointed out the world was ruled by Stay Puft. Tempore quickly changed his mind.

[@orbitalbutt6757]

Those were excellent comics. Also at one point they threaten to bind Gozer into the form of a SpongeBob SquarePants knockoff and it’s so horrified by the prospect that it immediately settles down

[@CoLeMaWeSoMe]

Stay Puft is both a funny character bit for Ray, but still remains a frightening force of antagonism. This isn’t the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from earth, this an interdimensional god’s interpretation. It smiles nearly the whole way through, which is plain creepy. I’m surprised it was made of homogenous marshmallow and not composed of flesh and blood.

[@slowpoke8585]

Am I the only one who found Stay Puft’s intro terrifying? I wasn’t expecting it and to see this cartoon face with a huge grin slowly walking through the streets was creepy.

Yesterday I was rewatching this and it occurred to me that I grew up watching Ghostbusters and I always knew Marshmallow Man and I've always loved him. The thing is, that this thing is embedded in our collective imaginarium. But the people who walked into the theatre in 1984 to watch GB when it premiered, witnessed this giant marshmallow made guy powered by an evil ancient god walking through NY streets, for the very first time in history without any idea that he was going to show up and that's just hilarious.
