[@PatheticApathetic]

The reveal at the end that Gary wasn’t at a support group in the opening, but a psychiatric facility because he tried to kill himself, was heartbreaking. Especially after Simon Peg and Edgar Wright said that he was planning to finish it after completing the Golden Mile.

[@control2XS]

I understand why this is often people's least favourite of the trilogy, it is very different to the others, but this one holds a special place in my heart. It has so much more feeling than the others, that "it's all I've got!" scream brings a tear to my eye every time, when you realise that Gary had never intended to return after the golden mile (the only one without luggage, not wanting to show his wrists, the bandages, the hospital wristband).

[@Arrynek01]

For me, Hot Fuzz and World`s End share the first spot. Then there's a huuuuge gulf and then Shaun of the Dead. They are good in their own way, but I've seen Shaun maybe twice. Meanwhile, Hot Fuzz and World`s End are a yearly occurrence.

[@robthomas2330]

The World's End is about getting old, which is why it's generally the least popular. Shawn of the Dead is (late) 20-year-olds in a sharehouse, here everyone's very middle-aged. But my theory is it gets more popular as those who loved the first two movies age.

[@FuhqEwe]

@@robthomas2330Shut up shut up shut up. I’ve always loved it. It has nothing to do with getting older. I’m not older. You’re older. What do you mean I have grey hairs now?! Shut up shut up.

[@LokRevenant]

The switch from “Gary King, of the Humans” to “Gary, King of the Humans” is incredible. Pegg and Wright are absolute masters.

[@mikebrown7799]

Hi Addie!😊 Our two stars (Simon Pegg & Nick Frost) actually starred in a fourth Sci-fi/comedy film together called "Paul" (2011). Although it is not part of the Cornetto trilogy it is a fun film. I think you really enjoyed the robots in this entertaining horror comedy, Addie!😆 Great reactions to your final film in the Cornetto Trilogy, Addie!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏

[@vincegamer]

I love paul. Different director, but some other great stars and the most "buddy movie" of all of the peg frost moviesg

[@jamescox6823]

Also you should check out the tv show Spaced, Simon Peg and Nick Frost are both in that, plus a lot of the other people from Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. Also directed by Edgar Wright who directed those movies. Spaced is what made the Corenetto Trilogy possible.

[@stevensauer8539]

They call him the King. And of course the King has a sword. For it was foretold that in the time of Britain's greatest need the Once and Future King would return, with his sword Excalibur, to save the land he once ruled. Yes, it's an Arthurian story (confirmed by the filmmakers). I love watching people with no idea what's coming react to the restroom scene. :)

[@spacezombie13]

honestly my favorite of the trilogy. especially when the alien AI switches from calling him "Gary King, of the Humans" to "Gary, King of the Humans."

[@erictaylor5877]

Yes! My favorite of the trilogy. Hilarious, emotional, Nick playing the responsible one for a change.......and The Sisters of Mercy!

[@ravenstromdans]

I feel like this is the "realist" of the films - although each of the Cornetto trilogy has an underlying and arguably relatable premise (Shaun being a manchild struggling to mature with Ed as his companion who has actively chosen to not mature, while Nicholas Angel exhibits an unhealthy focus on his job and is taught to cut loose and take things a little less seriously by Danny, who in turn learns to be a better policeman-officer from Nicholas), The World's End is decidedly the most cutting with its human narrative. The moving on of childhood friendships to adult distancing, the way some people cling to the past to the point of their life stagnating in the present and leaving them no future...even the kind of toxic or degraded lives the various guys outside of Gary were struggling with: Steven caught up in his love for Sam and apparently never being able to settle with another women; Peter with the sort of stifling characterization of his marriage, while Andy's was apparently on the rocks. The only one of the group that didn't somehow seem maladjusted was Oliver...and even he was still fixated on not being associated with the birthmark that made him "O-Man" in his youth. Each of the Cornetto Trilogy films has its own peculiar bent on people healing during the traumatic experiences during the course of the film and each the endings feel super real in contrast to the bulk of the rest of the movies....but somehow The World's End has both the most fantastic and yet also the most poignantly human ending amongst the three movies.

[@CosmicShadowMari0]

Sean of the Dead is a great parody, Hot Fuzz is the funniest, but this movie has the most well-developed characters and emotional impact of the Cornetto trilogy, so it is my favorite for sure

[@raiskis1]

A tribute to Invasion of the Bodysnatchers from the 1950's which was remade with Donald Sutherland and then again as The Faculty.

[@McBeelzebub]

I love how it was so unhinged and yet at the end it was about Gary’s tragedy, just him trying to somehow make his life mean something again. Hot Fuzz is to me the best written and enacted of the trilogy, but World’s End is my favorite in no small part for that humanizing element. Also I would totally watch a Netflix series about the post apocalyptic adventures of Gary King and the Blanks.

[@andreshernandez1180]

The best one of the trilogy 👍🏼 Notice how all the characters’ names are King-related: Gary KING, Andy KNIGHTLEY, Peter PAGE, Steven PRINCE and Oliver CHAMBERLAIN. Brilliant!

[@blondepotatoboi]

Also when Sam arrives, all of the crew stand up except for the "King"

[@andreshernandez1180]

@@blondepotatoboiYes, it’s very symbolic

[@WolfHreda]

I love that they don't even mention the name Cornetto in this one, and if you're expecting it, you start to wonder if it will ever show up. Right around the time you're thinking that, it does. Brilliant.

[@joeblankenship377]

Yeah, that twist definitely caught me off guard. Its funny how they have little nubs where you can snap their heads and limbs back on like toys.

[@MrChava54]

Each bar's name apparently describes exactly what is happening in the movie at the time they enter it.

[@keithhumphries824]

I recommend you check out the tv show 'Spaced'. It stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost and directed by Edgar Wright before they went into making movies

[@thirteeneighteenfive]

You can still check out Edgar Wright's sitcom "Spaced" also starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. It's the beginnings of their wonderful, trope subverting, genre blending, careers.

[@JB-nc7yk]

You may want the check out Attack the Block (2011) which has a similar tone to World End. Nick Frost is also in that movie too.

[@torontomame]

Attack the Block is amazing!

[@Wannabe_Baby]

Seeing reactions to this movie by people who have no idea what it's about is one of my favourite things. :) They put all the reveals in the trailer, so it's a lot better when people go into it without knowing what to expect. Your reaction to the first fight in the bathroom was so good! I'm so happy you liked the movie as a whole. Even though this one got the fewest laughs out of the trilogy for me, I'd still say it's my favourite just because I care about the story and characters more than the other two movies.

[@christianwise637]

This one doesn't seem to be as warmly received as Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz, but I really love this one. Maybe not as funny as the other two, but arguably the most mature, character-focussed and thematically rich entry, and both Simon and Nick give what is probably the best performances of their respective careers. Plus, as is to be expected from an Edgar Wright film, the action is top-notch, the humour is delightfully witty, and the sheer amount of foreshadowing and key details packed into the script (e.g. the way the guys' 1990 pub crawl ends up mirroring the one from 2013) makes the whole thing incredibly satisfying to watch.

[@quixote6942]

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost Came across the Pond to Star in a Fourth movie together, Called "Paul"... It's Worth a Reaction as well! The Name of Each Pub was a foreshadowing of what the Boy's were about to face.

[@agarven1]

I haven’t seen this movie in years but I just noticed the girl in the beginning of the movie where Simon Peg is at the circle group. The girl next to Simon was the girl in the backyard where Nick Frost and Simon are throwing things at her saying is she drunk lol

[@maximillianosaben]

This is my favorite of the trilogy, and the most mature, but it is also the one that feels the least connected to the other two as much.

[@TheTheSnakeSteve]

This movie was partly filmed in my home town. Letchworth Garden City. The pubs were renamed. Also the King's Head sign now hangs proudly in my local. The Arena Tavern.

[@JesseShadows37]

Edgar Wright the Director of this trilogy did the movie called Scott Pogam Vs. The World. It’s funny and really good. Just don’t look at the cast though, so you can be surprised by these “up and coming actors” that were in the movie. Plus the music is *chefs kiss* Perfect

[@michaelbriefs9764]

Addie! Now it is time to watch "Paul"! It is the duo back again, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost! The movie "Paul" is super funny and wild, in an Alien-visit kind of way! You should definitely watch it!

[@DrLipkin]

Shaun of the Dead addresses the struggles of becoming an adult. Hot Fuzz addresses the struggles of being an adult. The World's End addresses the struggles of middle age.

[@matthewgreganti4838]

Out of the three, Hot Fuzz is my favorite. This one definitely has an interesting premise that you're not really expecting, but it's pretty good. Seeing the characters in this one deal with some serious issues is nice. Not quite as humorous to me but still very well done. And for those unaware, they call it the Cornetto Trilogy because each movie has a scene where the ice cream makes an appearance to some degree. It's really subtle most times and the only real thread that connects them. Kind of a fun little thing to spot in each one.

[@leftofpunk]

I still prefer to call it the blood and ice cream trilogy.

[@gwinnellheald8592]

My favourite of the three!! Gary is such an interesting character to me, more depth than the other two i feel

[@joelwatkins]

Whenever I hear the phrase "peaked in high school", Gary King springs to mind. Deffo the one with the most feeling out of the Cornetto trilogy

[@BaconInEggies]

At 27:53 in your video, the quote "We wanna be free We wanna be free to do what we wanna do"; it's the beginning lyrics from Primal Scream "Loaded". This was originally sampled from the movie The Wild Angels.

[@jsnsk101]

The pub names all tell you what happens there fyi. Im about the same age as they portrayed and the music is amazing and i love this movie.

[@shainewhite2781]

The final chapter in the Three Flavors Trilogy.

[@joshuacampbell7493]

Speaking of Comedy, watch Ted 1&2. It's totally worth it 👌.

[@alextan1478]

Let's give Addie a round of applause for watching all Three Flavors Cornetto. 👏👏 I plan on having a Three Flavors Cornetto soon.

[@andreshernandez1180]

Now Paul

[@rickippolito6697]

Thanks for reacting to this! This is my favorite of the Cornetto Trilogy and I feel like it gets majorly overlooked.

[@pasteye1671]

Now you're ready for Paul. Beautiful.

[@clayprice7626]

This is the perfect end to the cornetto trilogy, I hope you'll watch Paul

[@andreshernandez1180]

Yes, Paul next 👍🏼

[@LordBaktor]

Happy to see so many people saying this one's their favorite. I've always felt it goes underappreciated and it is my favorite of the three. I do completely understand why one could argue Hot Fuzz is their favorite, but I love this one just a tiny bit more.

[@supermoogle07]

Absolutely love this movie. But I always forget Gary was totally attempting to mess up a kid by slamming his head down on a urinal. Had no idea he was a blank

[@tonyshepherd7616]

if you enjoyed this then i think you would also enjoy "Paul" which also stars Nick and Simon.

[@joakimkarlsson8392]

I did 2 full 12pub crawls after this movie was released, it was fun but can be rough if you do it too fast. First time we somehow got into a club after 12 pubs and kept shotting. A blur after that. Made a paper to cross off each pub even :D

[@porkysbikerlife7893]

I did a pubcrawl with a few mates after watching this. Not sure how many we did though. Had to stop once one of my mates started being ill.

[@stinkhornadrian]

Try the TV show Spaced for more Pegg/ Frost/Wright shenanigans

[@samronin1141]

This especially out of the Cornetto trilogy rewards repeated viewings. Edgar Wright layers so much into his films that you can see them many times and discover new parts each time. Movies with Mikey covered this in particular with their viewing of the trilogy. I very nearly walked out of this at the cinema when I thought it was going to glamorise Gary's self destruction. Then the fight in the toilet and I remembered why I was there and was thoroughly hooked. Apparently Simon Pegg is tea total and so this was a powerful movie and themes for him to explore along with the others.

[@CodyCameron82]

Since you loved the cornetto trilogy I would suggest you watch Paul (2011) but excellent reaction

[@GMDTurbo]

Been waiting for this one.

[@reservoirdude92]

"We wanna get loaded! And we wanna have a good time!" ❤

[@Drake844221]

This movie... hit me like a sack of bricks when it came out. At the time, I was unemployed, after having been let go from my job in the economic downturn, I'd basically had to move back to my hometown (which was very... agricultural, shall we say), and I'd tried (unsuccessfully) rounding up some friends to go see it on opening night. Suffice it to say, the themes in this one were... a little _too_ on point for my comfort. I still remember coming back from the theater and stopping by the gas station to pick up, one, a Guinness, and two, a Drumstick (i.e. the closest thing to a Cornetto that we've got in America). Still, I do love the movie!

[@hairywelder5188]

Probably now my favourite of the trilogy

[@andreshernandez1180]

Mine too

[@j9lorna]

In hot fuzz, Mr Skinner, aka Timothy Dalton, aka James Bond In the worlds end, the teacher, aka Pierce Brosnan aka James Bond Also, Sam, aka Rosamund Pike, aka Bond girl Miranda Frost. They have a thing for Bond movies

[@nedworcester4395]

If no one Elise has mentioned this: You should watch the movie “Paul” with Pegg and Frost. It is a favorite of mine.

[@timinla64]

Saw it when it came out along with Maximum Overdrive. The last time I ever went to a drive-in theater. Always dug this one!

[@listenchump4041]

7:40 the girl is perspective!

[@scott744]

Addie you should check out Baby Driver..not part of the Cornetto trilogy buts its Edgar Wright again and its a fun amazingly directed movie! Great react as always :)

[@williameleno]

Not apart of the same trilogy but i highly recommend Paul. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are the main characters.

[@lesfisher8941]

Hi Addie, please don't forget "Paul" also starring Simon Pegg & Nick Frost, came out around 2010, just as funny.

[@agarven1]

I couldn’t drink 12 beers either lol I’d be messed up. I’ve heard a story of the wrestler Andre The Giant drank 119 beers in one sitting

[@stephenmalley3729]

You should check out Paul which stars Simon Peggand Nick Frost, but for a slice of fried gold watch the 2 seasons of SPACED

[@boldlyawkwardandnerdy5793]

Hey Addie 👋 Another Simon Pegg film you would probably enjoy is called Hector and the Search for Happiness. I hope you give it a watch along with my continued campaign for 1985's Legend a cool Fantasy film and 2007's Stranger than Fiction a very underrated, imo, romcom. Anyway great seeing you enjoyed the Cornetto trilogy! I have to say world's end is probably my favorite as it so great at keeping you laughing and the twist with still some really heart felt moments about dealing with life, expectations, and mental health. Hope you continue with checking out cool movies!

[@HanSolo]

You should check out Paul (2011)! It's the unofficial fourth Cornetto movie. Written by and starring Simon and Nick but not directed by Edgar Wright because he was filming Scott Pilgrim at the same time.

[@andreshernandez1180]

I second that, Paul is actually the first movie I saw with Simon and Nick together and I loved it, after that, seeing Nick as a serious guy in this movie was shocking 😂

[@MrVCampbell]

Rewatch this and as you do pay attention to the bar names and what’s happening in the bars

[@andreshernandez1180]

• The first post • The Old familiar • The famous cock • The cross hands • The good companions • The trusty servant • The two-headed dog • The mermaid • The beehive • The king’s head • The whole in the wall • The world’s end

[@3DJapan]

After this I recommend watching FAQ About Time Travel.

[@Missy-24]

OMG finally someone other than me is recommending this movie! I love it and I wish more people would discover and enjoy it.

[@datkondike]

you should attempt a golden mile for a video 🤣🍻

[@brianvernon249]

Those willing people, WTF? Why did they get a choice? Most just got taken out without the option of joining willingly. Paul: just the single best Pegg/Frost flick. The end result of each character was refreshing as it was not typical.

[@mithroch]

No... I think you're right... Hot Fuzz is the best of the pack... but they are all great. Check out Paul... it also stars Pegg and Frost along with some... others... you will recognize.

[@Sanjuro.]

if you want more... Watch the Show spaced

[@ElmStReactions]

Good reaction, i love Simon and Nick, all 3 movies are great

[@paulockenden4278]

Easily the best of the trilogy. Gary King is the best character Simon Pegg has played in the Cornetto Trilogy, the cast do an amazing job throughout and there isnt a wasted scene or piece of dialogue in such a brilliantly realised story.

[@phtevenj]

I love Bill Nighy even if its JUST a voice over.

[@3DJapan]

I'm done after 2 points. LOL

[@arthurerickson5162]

Hi Addie! Great reaction, as always. Like you, my favorite is Hot Fuzz. At the Hollyrood Palace end of the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, Scotland, there’s a pub called The World’s End. Don’t know if there is a connection to this film (there are to Outlander), but despite being a bit touristy there’s a lot of history inside. Worth a stop. Also, check out the 2014 Dr Who Christmas special where Nick Frost plays (guess who) Santa Claus/St Nick.

[@kevt1932]

We really need you to watch Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (2010). It's a hilarious movie, and also directed by Edgar Wright.

[@Sidewalkman1]

This is a favorite of mine. We all know someone who's the party guy. 😂

[@jfryk]

Yay! A lot of people skip this one but I still think it's fun even if it's the weakest entry.

[@NOxSPLOOSHxPLANE]

Simon Pegg movies are amazing I feel like he's a very underrated actor his small but huge part in "ready player one" underrated and star trek alsopaul was pretty good as well... Also should check out the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (not a Simon Pegg film)

[@johnsteed5754]

The budget was nothing compared to Hollywood standards: $20 million.

[@jbwade5676]

Awesome Movie Addie 🤩🥰😍🏆👍😇

[@alex0589]

Check out "Paul" (2011) next, worth a watch. simon pegg and nick frost movie set in america

[@smoothmove7566]

Now do Paul as it is the epic opus to the cornetto trilogy It's by far the best of their movies with a ton of stars in it.

[@sotvomike]

Do yourself a favor, Addie. Catch Pegg and Frost's next best movie, PAUL. A hilarious geek fest for the ages!

[@bknsty14]

I don’t even drink that often anymore and 12 pints is easy

[@Cristopher.C]

do Scott Pilgrim

[@Cenforge]

Bravo.

[@JediS1138]

My GOSH Rosamund Pike is gorgeous 💓

[@jasondavid3969]

Would highly recommend Paul, next😜😂😎🇬🇧lol

[@dupersuper1938]

Paul and Scott Pilgrim

[@jasonsanfillipo1426]

You have to watch Paul 😂😂 so good

[@dereknolin5986]

Does anyone else feel this was basically one long metaphor for Brexit? The fear of British culture getting replaced by homogenized globalization?

[@MadcapMatt]

You should watch This is the End if you want another bonkers movie

[@NadeemShekh-uy9zn]

Watch Paul

[@dsc5754]

#ProudADDIEaddict #Ateammember4eva 🫶🏿

The pubs all looking the same is a great comment on the UK, traditional pubs are going and being replaced by chains that don't have any personality

[@bottlecaps2741]

Probably the only one of the trilogy that could have done with a direct sequel.

[@Matej_Sojka]

I did not like Blanks coming back online. This went from a funny horror to cheap comedy in the last moments.
