The 4th Annual Oscar Special: A Retrospective (On Cinema at the Cinema)

[@AdmiralGorgg]

Favorite moments from the fourth oscar special?

[@illuminotmereloaded6896]

Hands down I Believe There’s A Martian Sitting On Top Of The World. Most ridiculous song title ever, having absolutely nothing to do with the movie, and it just happens to be the catchiest tune in the medley. It’s perfect. Edit: It’s such a perfect little tribute to Bowie in reality, but as a parody song in universe it is also hilarious. Though short, I still feel it’s the best parody of Bowie since Bowie’s In Space by Flight of the Conchords.

[@DankMangus]

The Marks brothers, and the details on how they all died. He would always drop the character a bit when it got serious.

"an undercooked but charismatic cult leader locking horns with an energy vampire with anti-charisma power on a level the world has never seen" is the greatest possible description of On Cinema as a whole. Amazing.

[@zachariahshort6546]

The stupidity of the focus on Chaplin is one of the greatest running jokes ever

[@Nathan-gs5tw]

The fact that Tim gives hank a platform to explain their situation and the reason for the name change every time, and then letting the camera hang on him way too long before cutting him off and saying no one cares when he keeps talking about chili and corporate acquisitions literally never gets old

[@rachelle1974]

I cannot begin to tell you how much I am enjoying these On Cinema videos! Thank you so much for posting them.

[@Combat_Rat]

If I had to guess for the carabas gift card, I’d say the wedding special. It has everything. From Tim hitting on the female preacher, to the subtle hints they’re all being poisoned. Dead chefs kiss

[@dikydankedude]

Tom Cruise grew up to become such a well-spoken, free-thinking, and well-rendered individual. Amazing analysis. This was truly delightful 🙏🏻

[@tacticaljunk1608]

The F4ntastic 4 movie being a legendary bomb makes the On Cinema universe way way funnier considering how proudly displayed that poster in the background is. It's like scientifically the most perfect film Tim could cameo in.

[@burtfiasco]

One of my favorite parts about this comedic universe is the fact that if you stick with it, you will 100% run into parts in the shows and specials that hit you in a certain way that someone else might not even care that much about, or even notice. For example, I can watch Gregg’s entrance as the Joker (Batman Joker, not Deck of Cards©️) in the 7th Annual over and over and over again and it never gets old, the smug self-satisfaction on Gregg’s face as he feels like he is blowing people’s minds with this grand entrance is just hilarious to me on a level that I can’t even convey to someone else properly.

[@greedlings]

Hey just so you know Jaws The Revenge is not actually the 4th jaws movie. Real cinema buffs know that jaws 3 is the REAL jaws 4 because Close Encounters of the Third Kind is the REAL Jaws 2. Just something you wouldn’t really know unless you were a film expert 👍

[@NicoAnimation]

Great job on these retrospectives! Gregg actually voices one of my cartoon characters in my DreamWorks series "Too Loud", and back around 2016-17 one day while recording his lines (around Season 7 or 8 of On Cinema?) we were chatting about OC and I asked Gregg if they were hopefully not planning to end it anytime soon. He told me at the start of EVERY season before they begin filming, he and Tim feel like they might end On Cinema, as they and the audience might be getting tired of it... But they end up having so much fun once they start filming the season that they re-fall in love with the show and get a ton more ideas for the NEXT season already. So Gregg said he wouldn't be surprised if they got up to Season 20 someday, which made me happy to hear! Now thankfully we're up to On Cinema Season 14 and it's still going strong!!

[@АртёмДубравин-ы6у]

This youtube video isn't really a movie, more like a made for TV documentary, but if it was a movie, Oscer would surely shine it's light upon it despite the painfully short runtime of 32:22. In a way the video is very painful to watch for a gregghead, because he is being called a vampire (which he is not, even though he did direct the world's first Dracula hi-spy movie Dekker vs. Dracula, runtime 54:22) but I still give it five BOATS of pop-corn (since you're an Admiral) and maybe one of those little rubber duck bath toys that would float alongside your vessel. Keep em coming, Admiral!

[@KrautCat]

Have you been watching the new stuff on Tim’s HEI Network? It’s really really good 😂 Adult Swim dropping On Cinema was such a bad decision.

[@williammanning5066]

That 2000-era CGI shot of Elrond and some female elf embracing, never fails to make me crack up

[@duffmanx2000]

If the scale went to six bags then this video would get six. Scale is 5 though so it’s a 5 bagger for sure.

[@daluigi1]

I have to say i actually found Greg's surprise this year to be really cool, a bit silly with the small pool table but aside from that the costumes matched, the decoration too and its an iconic portrait.

[@JesseBakerH]

3:38 wow this is so accurate the 3D moment is probably one of the funniest things i've ever seen and the fact that I couldn't send it to anyone I knew because it required WAY TOO MUCH context to understand drove me crazy

[@CobraClutch34]

A long time ago, I had watched a couple episodes of the first season of On Cinema, but thought it was an actual movie review show and tapped out. Since I've binged so much other T&E stuff on KZbin over the years, I kept getting On Cinema clips in my recommendations. I finally clicked on one, and it happened to be the TCH JR digital reincarnation. Even with no context, I was immediately hooked. Also, it's so funny when they drop the "Heidecker" from TCH and just call him "Tom Cruise Jr."

[@chriswakefieldmusic]

Mark in character as all the Marx Bros, talking about how he died, with all the goofy sounds in the background had me keeled over

[@Icypenguigo]

I think one of the best side gags of the oscar specials is the slow and undignified death of Chaplin's Chili. Every time we see them again it's a slightly more degraded version of itself until it ultimately just ends up as a rack with some bags of chips on it. And this poor schmuck, Hank, is always still there for some reason. Can he not find something better to do with his life? And why does his parent company keep sponsoring these insane oscar specials?! Especially when Tim ends up talking shit about them every single time!! Oh my god it's ridiculous!! XD

[@Wangan280z]

I got diarrhea from that chaplains shit

[@shrug_shrugsly]

Your editing!!! Holy. Shiss. Choices of music, clips, cuts. All of it. You are KZbin yoda, here with the knowledge far exceeding an entire YoUniverse

[@shrug_shrugsly]

How is anyone this clever?!?! Your videos are just jaw dropping/dislocating ly brilliant. In your starting portion, your highlight of classic quadrilogies, you nailed great references in the show, but Star Trek four was such low hanging fruit in comparison, you skipped it. You skipped Star trek four. THAT’S how much next level comedy is in your compilation. Just. You’re so massively talented.

[@TheDudeSmashTrash]

between the ghost of TCHJ, the James Dean DNA test, and the Fantastic 4 vs Ant-Man contest, this is easily my favorite Oscar special of them all

[@Im_Not_Zach]

My favourite little moment in this special is Gregg announcing that Spectre has won its only Oscar category. On the broadcast and on twitter Gregg has been so openly hostile about how music has no place in movie award shows and then his favourite film franchise goes and wins the Best Original Song award and he immediately starts puffing his chest regarding it. Pure poetry

[@chibom0n]

I love this, but I gotta be honest. After what just happened with Dekkar and their new hit piece against Tim, it's kind of hard to watch. They were his rock, his brothers, and they just kicked him out and replaced him. It's cruel and unjust, so watching this brings back hard memories

[@Squishy876]

Each of these is so well done

6:29 Tim's mastery of the squinty-eyes look that certain evil old white guys do all the time is also extremely comedic. That's my favourite running sight gag in On Cinema

[@ArtVandelayOfficial]

Stephen Baldwin is a master of that

[@ThommyofThenn]

@@ArtVandelayOfficial lmao I looked up a pic to refresh my memory, and oh my god that is spot on. Heidecker must have been studying lame late 90s/early 2000s straight to dvd type movies when researching the character

[@christianmallien3123]

Oh buddy I’ve been waiting for this one! My new favorite channel just for how in depth and detailed you are with explaining this immense universe and lore of Tim and Eric

[@SuperAwesomeElliot]

Eric Wareheim is not involved with On Cinema whatsoever. It is a completely separate project run primarily by Tim, Gregg, Eric Notarnicola, and Justin Gaynor - among others

[@8bitKatwalk]

Same

[@redvelvetunderground]

it's so funny that despite gregg's dislike for music in movies he seems to be really into musicals like west side story or a star is born, i wonder if his hate of music is just particularly to spite tim, especially since he liked the new tim free dekkar's "ride with the devil" song!

[@metalsalsa]

Keep it up dude! Just rewatched OS 7 today and it hits just as hard. Cant wait for some Toni content.

[@theanarchistcook]

For a while I thought that this story was going to end with Tim's death, but now I'm basically certain it'll end with Gregg's. It's the only real way Tim can be punished for his crimes: by losing the one person still willing to be around him.

[@AdmiralGorgg]

That’s awesome, I love that idea

[@theanarchistcook]

@@AdmiralGorgg If Tim's life is a hell of his own making, I think him somehow killing Gregg is the ultimate manifestation of that.

[@aarontoohey8993]

[@MortonGoldthwait]

My guess for your favorite Oscar special is number 6. The payoff for the Mark's coma story arc is the greatest joke in all of On Cinema.

[@ThommyofThenn]

27:10 it was physically nauseating when this came out. I was assuming he had some weird tribute like a look alike actor or a statue. Then upon seeing grum 2.0 walk out my stomach churned, this was followed by a moment where I might have actually been offended at how appalling it was lol. It was like when a beloved character may or may not have died at the end of an episode, followed by having to see their body at the funeral in the next one. That's the best way I can explain that sick experience

[@t_yler]

You’re so so so so talented!!! ❤❤❤ Your scripts are HILARIOUS!!! (I’m not going to be wording so good because I’m on pain meds, but Jesus do I wish I could focus better to take all this in. Reminds me of when Gregg testified he didn’t need drugs; he said his highs were if, say, he caught something new during his tenth viewing of Casablanca. Turns out? Not mutually exclusive!! In fact, drugs can help ensure you miss things at each viewing, so you never run out of reasons to rewatch) Anyway! More comments later when I can think, but omg I love your videos soooooooooo much.

[@leosisdetective]

This special will always be my favorite

[@skullingtonturtle8080]

If you’re anything like me, your favorite Oscar special is the 9th (followed extremely closely by this one because of exactly what you explained- James Dean and the 3D TCjr). But the 9th special has it allllllll, I cried laughing at the 4th but I almost *died* laughing at the 9th. The finale is so funny it gets painful. A bunch of third-rate nobodies in the film industry in the middle of nowhere, somehow get into a situation where they’re important enough to get shot at like it’s d-day. And some are just innocent unsuspecting guests like Lee Garlington (from Psycho 2 and 3) getting caught up in it, who was already clearly quite uncomfortable from the whole “wtf am I doing here at this strange event” situation. Gregg- with his strange spine/posture that he can’t turn his head left or right with, and his VFA van with the roof cut off (the worst possible option if you’re getting sniped at for some reason), hurrying people to his bus cause it’s the only option for transport out of there… he quickly becomes the de facto irl Agent Kington or Decker in this ‘fight or flight’ moment hurrying people to the van to scurry out of there. But from the idea that these people are being SHOT at- and subsequently responding like it’s Normandy Beach keeping their heads down- that’s the most tear jerkingly funny situation on its own. The best part though, isn’t done justice in text form. But it’s when Tim takes that baseball bat and starts screaming “I’m right here!” And “I’m already dead!”- when he smashes that fucking box of VHS’ that Gregg so happily came in with early that day. That ruins me. I can’t breath when I watch that. Even in the darkest and scariest moments humanly possible for them, Tim still has the disrespect for Gregg to fuck his tapes up. As Gregg is peeling out of the premises selflessly trying to save everyone. It’s too good.

Regarding Dekkar, I think one of the funniest On Cinema moments comes from a in character video interview of Tim and Gregg by Rolling Stone magazine where Tim is utterly confused that bands would or even could record more than one song in a recording session. Absolutely comedy gold. EDIT: About the Ant-head woman saying Gregg is her hero, even as a huge Gregghead (reformed Timhead, him starting to review TV shows on On Cinema was the last straw for me, screw that guy!) I still have a sneaking suspicion that Gregg might've played the same dirty trick Tim did with his Fant4stic role and just paid her to say it. You never know with these guys and their reckless spending!

The fact he's attempting to make a solemn and moving statement, addressing the 'elephant in the room' about one of the most horrific events any normal person could ever imagine going through, but somehow still can't resist to completely trivialise it by making a terribly inappropriate joke based around a throwaway line from a nineties song by a lame band.
