[@abhiruproy8592]

The helicopters with grooming sound effects

[@mtzyzy]

He is an avid helicopter enthusiast.... Producer and writer have to negotiate with him sometimes to reduce the amount of choppers being used in a movie

[@memyself717]

Aircraft carriers

[@trainwreckfreakshow8307]

Number 1 has Michael Bay’s name in the credits

[@michaelkeehan8094]

that sounds like a stupid idea.

[@razorback9999able]

*ding*

[@jam5287]

Or just has “a Michael bay film” on the poster/case🤷🏼‍♂️

[@coopergreen7961]

Yep

[@James-cu9ul]

Cody Higinbotham glad he left transformers, now we got a masterpiece 😂

[@yourtypicaldude1261]

editer: so how many explosions do you want? michael: *yes*

[@kieranstark7213]

Bobsheaux (what, you thought I was gonna say Sam Witwicky): *NO!* 😠

[@TallyMarkAB]

Editor : are you sure you want the viewers want to see explosions , Gunshots , chaos , planes , A motorbike going through the window at the same time? Michael : yes Editor : are you sure? Michael : yes Editor : ok.. Michael : yes

[@billylynch952]

Everything that can go BOOM, will go BOOM And even if it can't, we'll find the way...

[@ryans413]

Billy Lynch 911: what’s the state of your emergency. Me: um yes hi um I think Michael Bay just blew up my pool.

[@cheesepowder2204]

Life finds a way. Even explosions

[@Leprutz]

On the set: This can't go boom. It's sand. Bay: Dynamite!

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

*Number 1:* Sees more explosion than anything else

[@giggityking6505]

They should do Top Ten things that Never got parodied by Robot chicken

[@CashCurran]

Friendship there’s more explosions than credit names

[@StriderStryker]

It’s already mentioned in this list and it’s Number 1, Friendship!

[@warzone4247]

You say like it's a bad thing

[@kieranstark7213]

At least the Fast & Furious series knows how to do explosions properly, Michael Bay, on the other hand, wishes it could be that franchise, but tried way too hard to be The Fast and the Furious that its over-obsesses over explosions but doesn’t feel like there’s ever such thing as too much of emotion!

[@ALEX-lq9yt]

Michael Bay the type of guy who can throw a grenade and kill 93 people. Afterwards, the grenade would explode.

[@terrencenoran3233]

All the while wearing military gear and riding on top of a tank that is spray painted with the colors of the US flag as the sun sets behind his hare-entourage of sexy models who are all boobs and no brains. I believe you forgot this second part.

[@plasmodium5593]

Underrated

[@Wade_Fucking_Wilson]

Terrence Noran Lmaoooo

[@aabevincent0]

Studios: What do you need? Michael Bay: Explosions,lots of explosions.

[@ismaelrosales934]

#1. OVER THE TOP EXPLOSIONS

[@jameswormsley460]

explosions overload!!!

[@VoidlessHue]

Explosions Slo-Mo Explosions Cute girls with no personality More explosions Did I mention explosions yet? Cause Explosions Reeeaaally sloooooow-mooooo Eeeexplooosions

[@dezmondphillip8263]

Divine Death don’t forget to more explosions

[@giraffeman326]

As well as: Big explosions Small explosions Fire Slow motion Hot girls More explosions All of the above playing at once

[@tiaaaron3278]

Helicopters!

[@luvkumar484]

All we need now is exploding cute girls

[@null1753]

more like hot hoes

[@Mesanyx]

Hope Michael Bay makes a movie called "The Explosion Movie" in which it's pretty much the entire movie blowing up every second.

[@dylanmijer2890]

I love Bay, his movies are amazing.

[@manoelbrn]

Sometimes art film director are stupid?

[@happymwanza99]

Me too big fan of him

[@theiammike123]

"Is this *really* how you spray paint a motorcycle?" Lmao 😂

[@Leprutz]

Bay: Yes.

[@mtzyzy]

@@Leprutz men : hell yeah

[@mr.x8259]

You forget to mention the frequent shot changes, sometimes it is hard to tell who is fighting.

[@mugen_ronin29]

In my head I can here Megumin just yelling *"EXPLOOOOOSION!"*

[@quanbaka4908]

Finally, now I now I'm not alone

[@captainmemez3219]

Explosions.... Flags and Hot girls

[@mtzyzy]

Most people love that too ... he just being honest

[@d1want34]

I liked mike bay's cinematography. He always comes out with a unique shot in every movie.

[@Hrizuneedsfriends]

No 1 sign: *Directed by: Micheal Bay*

[@thegameingjoker6138]

Yep

[@jasonmorris4eva]

Don't care what watchmojo or any one else thinks, Michael Bay makes great entertaining movies.

[@asimmulla4940]

Honorable mentions : I am Optimus Prime......

[@weirdguy8422]

Michael Bay already touched the like bottom

[@jameswormsley460]

lol

[@NeoReoxis]

Weird Guy aye my jojo brudda

[@rogueguardian]

Fun fact: Michael Bay was a producer on "a quiet place"... I know it blew my mind too

[@Ladybug-no9sc]

By the looks of the last 3 Transformers, I wouldn't have thought he made such good movies. I honestly didn't realize he made so many good & high Grossing movies until seeing this. Armageddon, Bad Boys & Pearl Harbor alone made Millions at the box office......combined Billions.

[@Gvair22]

Of course he did

[@ryans413]

All the hate he gets but he makes entertaining movies. I could go back and watch all his films and not be bored. That’s a good sign a director can hook you on any movie they make. But I know most wont agree with me

[@bossk861]

10 signs you are watching a watch mojo video

Michael Bay can crumble a hot knife with butter.

[@geminiapex]

Teenage mutant ninja turtles didn't pop up in all this damn lol

[@Eternal_Sky_Tardis]

Because he did not directed it... He only fucking produced it!!!!! OMG!!!!!!

[@thewateversho223gaming]

I don't know why everyone thinks Michael Bay directed TMNT..

[@SoapNugget]

@@thewateversho223gaming cause it feels just like he directed it

[@Leprutz]

@@SoapNugget True. It's a one to one copycat. The reason why I hate the director of TMNT. Only Bay is entitles to his style.

[@pooveshprowarrior9988]

Michael bay to fx artists: we need explosions... Lots of em

[@antonisgantzos7462]

You see michael bay as director in the open8ng credits

[@kieranstark7213]

We get it, Bay! You are the director of these films!

[@austriantruther485]

I love The Island! 2019 is the year of The Island! 😁👍 The movie timeline started on July the 19th in 2019. One of my lovliest science fiction movies ever. I hope you understand my bad english.

[@jaydez5698]

This just shows that WatchMojo is an entertaining channel....when they're not doing a list related to comics. (Keep this up)

[@dancingcockroaches2400]

We all know that we all came to see if they had explosions in the list.

[@Jamieb1994]

Whether you agree or disagree, you've got to admit Michael Bay does make some awesome movies.

[@Gvair22]

Of course he does

[@iwashere143]

this was helpful, thank you

[@akuma123]

That's a lotta damage 😑

[@itsshalevfromtaxidashcamer9390]

6:36 That's my favourite. Michael Bay's explosions!

[@wolfhart941]

I dont think Michael Bay is a bad director. But the people who write these scripts need to get their shit together

[@lusineapikyan8933]

agreed

[@kaichen3830]

Toilet Paper Mountain yes.

[@arinrumi]

YES! Finally someone with logic

[@ThetrueHeero]

I think we all know it’s explosions

[@victorzimmerman7566]

I forgot how to read the opening credits so this is helpful.

[@SlytherinReviews]

Explosion's are always the rage in action movies and have been going on for years before Michael Bay even started to use explosions in his movies

[@primeslayer1735]

A lot of movies that AREN'T directed by Michael Bay has the exact same stuff.

[@SSSharpeProductions]

So glad Bumblebee is doing good without him! You see Paramount you can switch up Directors for the films!

[@Minute_Sniper]

Michael Bay = Megumin approuved

[@Whogivesafuuk]

I've also noticed more than once a strange spinning whirring noise or object during explosions

[@captaincaptain2128]

I like michael bay movies. They're stupid, but fun. They're the definition of popcorn flicks. So sue me. He's one of the highest grossing directors in hollywood, so clearly everyone else likes his movie too.

[@davinyuts]

I love this explosions from a good sound system,. The thrills..i love it...

[@alexabelardo1880]

I've been waiting for this type of video. Now I know if I'm watching a Michael Bay film.

[@christophersouza3159]

Glad somebody mentioned the lens flares. But to be fair, John McTiernan has also used flares in his movies (Die Hard). Just sayin'.

[@TheLonleyFly]

Damn watchmojo is running out of ideas

[@_anterix_2953]

Ikr

[@orb3796]

Ok to be fair they have like over 8000 videos or something

[@thegrimreaper121yolistenup2]

Indeed

[@nahbruhwtf8636]

I feel like watchmojo should just quit their channel and let it die forever

[@nostalgicfrog4726]

Tbh it looks copied from cinemasins

[@SuperChiko]

This is a beautiful video 👋👋👋

Explosions is #1! Didn't see that coming! XD

[@robertgitata3384]

thought you hated Bay from your old "Top 10 reasons why Michael Bay is hated "video almost unsubscribed btw.. so what is wrong with flags and product placement...

[@Brandon-do6iz]

Not going to type the word that begins with e and ends in n. Means to blow up

*Wait for the credits*

[@adampoirrier7981]

@Takeo *wait for the credits*

[@MissSallyB1]

another video that could've easily been three seconds long make in Windows Movie Maker with a caption box reading "it says 'Directed by Michael Bay' in the credits". I think it's time we put Grandpa Mojo in a home.

[@MissSallyB1]

stfu :)

[@shiruotakuno28]

I came into this video knowing full well that explosions would be #1. Not disappointed.

It's all about MOTHERFUCKING MONEY!

I don’t blame WatchMojo for making this list, unlike last decade’s cliched reactions

[@yourneighbour5738]

The male Megumin

[@generc.d.2922]

The Michael Bay masterpiece: Armagedon Pearl Harbor

[@chriswyatt9869]

I think the orange and teal colour orientation is a big giveaway

[@zackattackr.p.g]

Kinda knew #1 would be explosions. They’ve got more camera time than the Autobot or Decepticons in his movies

THIS IS SPOT ON OMG. Another honorable mention is terrible puns. The most serious michael bay movies always have several puns in it

[@marioncobretti7870]

His explosions are always laced with them sparkly roman candles. Pretty sure standard rounds for a transformer are formentioned sparkly roman candle

[@corvusnine8167]

1. Says “directed by Michael Bay”

[@zouloslecoolos]

The fucking colors burn my eyes in every Bay movie

[@iamu2247]

This list just made me not want to even consider a movie with his name on it. Haven't seen any of his since TF1, and seems like I haven't missed much.
