I know I’m a terrible pedant but here is an unrequested, free English lesson… You can’t say “a plethora of”. Plethora is a synonym for countless or numerous - so you can’t use it like “a number of…”. Instead, say: “there are plethora languages to choose from” instead of “a plethora of languages to choose from”.

Baxter’s barks is supposed to have subtitles. Especially the conversation between Baxter and the bear lol

[@mr.nesbitt8967]

The subtitles are never there in these reaction videos. It's one of the most hilarious parts

[@jbwarner8626]

​@@mr.nesbitt8967 That's because most reactors rent movies on KZbin, and for some dumb reason KZbin removes subtitles from movies they stream. I tried to watch _1941_ on KZbin once and I had no idea what the hell Christopher Lee and Toshiro Mifune were saying to each other 😑

[@BessieRiggs]

You know I don’t speak Spanish!

[@ImAlsoMerobiba]

The version I rewatched with this had no subtitles either lol. I distinctly remember the ridiculous subtitles that Baxter had, but it had me questioning if this was some Mandela effect shit.

[@forrester_z3881]

19:12 idk if anyone else noticed the sign in the Mexican restaurant, but that sign says "Escupimos en su Alimento" which means that the restaurant is named "We spit in your food" in Spanish and everyone is eating there without the slightest clue on what the restaurant's name means 💀💀💀💀

If you like silly comedies like this then you'll probably enjoy Dodgeball! It's just as funny in my opinion.

Ironically, Adam McKay (the director for Anchorman) later cast Steve Carell as Donald Rumsfeld (one of the top advisors in the Bush administration) in VICE, a biopic of former vice president Dick Cheney. Part of me will always believe that the casting choice was heavily influenced by the joke about Brick working for the Bush administration at the end of this movie.

[@egr1187]

Anchorman 2? Yes please. A seriously absurd sequel and worth the watch. Thx Ange!

[@iSouleyx]

I remember the first time I watched this movie the bit where Steve Carrell says the line "Think about what your asking, man!" gibberish caught me off so hard I laughed for a solid 10 minutes, great video, looking forward to more in 2024.

[@MFBloosh]

20:20 That was actually Will's daughter. If you wanna laugh, look up "Will Ferrell Landlord" which also has his daughter in it. It's just a short 3-4 minutes skit.

[@BTAColorado]

Where did this version of Anchorman come from? I can't believe that they cut out the translation captions of Baxter's barks. He always has something to say.

[@Logan_Baron]

Unfortunately, I've seen other reactors react to this version. Apparently you have to have the captions on to see Baxter's lines. I don't understand why they would even make a version that doesn't have them. Though honestly I've seen a few other movies, that don't have the captions that would be in the theatrical release. Like an American movie where they have someone speaking Japanese, they automatically include the captions. But then on video they don't show it unless you turn the captions on. As though just because you don't need the captions to follow along in English would mean that you must know Japanese.

[@CDeeez94]

Man, this era of comedies was a trip. So many movies came out with Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller, and Steve Carrell....they were at the top of comedy for a while.

If you watch the sequel, you HAVE to watch the bloopers. I personally think Anchorman 2 has the best bloopers ever put on film, it's amazing the movie even got completed.

I don’t know much about the larger brown bears that are in this movie, but I live on the top of a mountain in the middle of the Appalachian Mountains and we have tons of black bears. 9 times out of ten they are more afraid of you and not aggressive at all. The only times you have to worry is if it is a mother with cubs or if it has been a really dry year with little vegetation and they are starving. Just last year I had to scare a young one out of our chicken coop. The poor thing didn’t get how the fence worked and kept running into it trying to get out. They can cause property damage and run off with your trash cans but other then that you don’t really have to worry about them.

[@stevenfriedman2902]

Black bears are a lot more docile than brown/grizzly bears. Grizzlies are a lot more territorial and if you're ever out in the woods and see the baby first get out of there because momma bears DO NOT take any chances with their babies and will attack anything within eyesight of it even if it that is a potential threat. Black bears it's better to stand your ground and be loud if it seems like it's gonna attack whereas with brown bears you should go fetal on the ground with your hands around the back of your head to protect it and don't move.

[@Lewis9700]

For some reason this was missing the subtitles but Baxter was actually having a conversation with the Bears in the zoo, convincing them to spare Ron and his friends

Jack Black punting the dog off the bridge is maybe the funniest thing i've ever seen

[@marshallprince2583]

In another release, I think maybe director's cut, there are captions for what Baxter told the bear at the zoo. He complimented it on its size and majesty, and then he mentioned having befriended a grizzly bear in the wild and temporarily living with it. He mentions it by name, and the zoo bear says ,"That's my cousin!" Instantly, Baxter earns the respect and friendship of the zoo bears and is allowed to have his friends back uneaten.

I fed a black bear a bottle of cream soda once... it was like 30 years ago and still a top life moment.

[@MrEnvisioner]

21:09 If you haven't seen it, I HIGHLY recommend the Jake Gyllenhaal film "Nightcrawler". It's all about the competitive nature of the "first-on-the-scene" news reporting, and it is as dark as it is underrated.

Help Yourself by Tom Jones plays after the club with the animation. He's a Judge on one of the singing shows where the chairs turn around.

[@cyberleadr]

How dare you? Christina Applegate is a national treasure! J/k, fake outrage (hiding real pain). But seriously, you clearly need to add some Applegate content to your list. I'd start with Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead (1991) and The Sweetest Thing (2002). Maybe some Married... with Children (1987) episodes or at least some "best ofs." Her show Samantha Who (2007) was criminally underrated, and while her role in the Bad Moms movies (also starring Kathryn Hahn) was small, she was really, really funny. I hear Dead to Me (2019) on Netflix is really good, too.

Good thing to note here is that The Office came out the year after this movie, so I'd like to think that this is a proto-Michael Scott we have in this movie. A Steve Carell-ectus, if you will.

[@phdonnell]

There's two sequels! Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues is the one everyone sees, but there was actually a second movie released concurrently with the original film's DVD release! It's called Wake Up, Ron Burgundy: The Lost Movie, and it was created using alternate takes of the original film, along with the original news story subplot of a terrorist group robbing banks. This plot was cut out and replaced with Ling Ling the panda. Obviously, since it's made from alternate dialogue takes, the first half of the story if pretty much the same plot, but some new narration has it take place after the first film. Worth a watch, if only because I can't think of another time something like this has been done!

[@tonymcdonald2932]

Fun fact! Ron and the other 3 actually recorded and made a music video for the song "Afternoon Delight" and it sounds way better than the original!

[@movielover828]

"Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy" is arguably one of the best comedy movies of the 21st century, and in my book, Ron Burgundy remains the best and the most iconic character that Will Ferrell portrayed. I almost forgot to say that this movie stays classy for almost 20 years.💯

I saw a bear in the wild once. We were in northern Ontario staying at a lake house and took a drive to locate a different lake. This was with the In-laws, wife, kids, and nieces/nephew.
