5:00 - NEIGBOURHOOD WATCH - The character responsible for the Neighbourhood Watch Surveillance was portrayed by veteran British actor Edward Woodward, also known for portraying Robert McCall in 1980s TV show, 'The Equalizer', Callan in the eponymous 1960s TV show, and doomed police officer in 'The Wicker Man (1973).
fun fact: in a very early draft of the script most of Danny's lines were for a female character who Angel was supposed to have a romantic arc with. When her character was merged with Danny's to streamline the plot, they kept a lot of the dialogue the same, and Nick Frost and Simon Pegg played them as such. The result is one of the best bromances in film history.
I'm one of those. IMHO jurasic park sucked. Twister was fun particularly my man Rusty. Van halen - respect the wind in the credits is also AMAZING. Hot fuzz is great. I seem to be the only one, however, that thought shaun of the dead is even better. Didn't care for the world's end. Another unpopular opinion. Paul and Absolutely anything are simon pegg's best movies I've seen IMHO. so that's my 2 cents' worth
Got an idea for ya on how you can create a more neato format involving multiple viewings and cute, little, homemade signs. Would be more work for you, but the result would be super intriguing. Write me back ; )
Anyone still wondering what happened to John Wick 3 or 4 ? You have to be in the right mood to watch comedies, I wasn’t in that mood 😔 sadly . So to be fair i can’t comment on it !!
Best line in the movie is after Point Break - "I won't argue that it was a no-holds-barred adrenaline-fueled thrill-ride, but there's no way that you could perpetrate that amount of carnage and mayhem and not incur a considerable amount of paperwork." And then at the end they glamorize all the paperwork.
I think it depends on what stage you were in your life when this movie was popping off, but the fact i can ask any one around my age when their birthday is and I've got a 1/3 chance of getting the answer 22nd of February makes that the best line for me. Followed by the second best where you'd yell the word prick in school and someone would shout back wanker. Like there's absolutely better lines in the context of the movie but those were the top tier patter lines
Slightly off-topic, but something you said in the outro... My grandmother's funeral actually was funny. She was a famously unpleasant woman who thought nothing of insulting her grandchildren, but she was also an angel in secret - like, she once found out that a little neighbor girl didn't have the money for school lunches and was just not eating lunch, so grandma decided to pay for her lunches. Through the end of elementary school (and grandma was not wealthy by far). And the most amazing part? No one knew until she died and my dad went through her financial records (which were meticulous). But I digress. Grandma didn't have one eulogist. Her funeral was each of us telling a favorite story about her. Some were touching, most were hilarious. She was just so mean it was like a comedy script. Rarely have I laughed (and cried) as hard as I did that day.
Cate Blanchette and Peter Jackson appeared in the movie for free while they were making Lord Of The Rings. Have another look and see if you can spot them...😉
This may be the only movie I’ve ever seen where not one line is wasted. Every single word is either a setup, a callback or a punchline. It’s really amazing!
If you take the time to watch carefully, the script is a masterpiece. A huge amount of care has gone into it. Every thing that Danny asks Angel about doing, they end up doing while taking down the neighborhood watch. Probably my favourite part is when Angel rides into town on a horse. The shotguns on his back look like folded angel’s wings, he rides a pale horse. It’s a reference to the Angel of Death. Everything in this movie is incredibly deliberate.
6:00 - MY NAME IS MY TRADE - In early medieval England, individual surnames were derived from what that individual did for a living, their 'trade'. For this movie, the director ensured that every character in the village has a 'trade' surname. There was only one character that didn't follow this pattern. However, it must be more than coincidence that Albert Webley would be the character with a large collection of firearms. The name Webley is one of the oldest names in the gun industry, founded in Birmingham, England in 1790. Oh, and with Simon Pegg''s character's name, we have both Devil (Nick) and Angel. Which is fitting , as his character's abilities and professionalism made him both a pain in the arse and a Godsend, simultaneously..
The producers could have easily made Hot Fuzz 2 and 3, and a prequel, but they chose to preserve this film's dignity. It's like if Ghostbusters or Die Hard was just one movie.
Always leave them wanting more, I kinda do wish they'd made Hot Fuzz 2 but Angel's story arc of going from straight laced to letting his hair down is concluded by film's end so there's no more story to do really and Edgar Wright doesn't believe in sequels so it was never going to happen but I guess out of the Cornetto Trilogy this was the one they could've.
Loved your reaction to the reveal of the council (NWA) at the church at night. 😁 And I agree that "Shawn of the Dead" and "Hot Fuzz" are two of the funniest movies (yet very serious at various points). They are right up there with "Airplane!" and "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" in terms of raising the bar for comedy.
Along with Spaced, the whole Cornetto Trilogy (Shaun Of The Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World's End) is worth watching. Simon Pegg, Edgar Wright and Nick Frost together can't go wrong.
It's the cornetto trilogy. You need to watch 'The Worlds End' as well. It gets its name from the reference to one of the ice creams in each movie. Shaun Strawberry, Fuzz classico Worlds mint.
Not my favourite movie of all time, but I can see why so many see it as being so. Wins a lot of points simply because it isn't Hollywood dross. And it's also more subtle than it first appears (as with the rest of the trilogy). Every time/different mood I watch it, I pick up on different things, or find different things funnier than last time. And your reaction is, as always brilliant and in-depth. ❤ (Best/most recognisable quote? "Nyyo-oh" in the first few minutes.)
It's so funny that here you have a comedic supporting role played by future Oscar-winning dynamo Olivia Colman, who has established herself at the absolute forefront of actresses working today.
The show version you want is called Spaced, it's the show Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright got started with before Shaun of the Dead! It's well worth watching!
Came for this, but it could go back at least to the '50s. I remember reading some of my uncle's veeery old comics when I was little, and there were some stereotypical criminals being confronted by the police and saying, "Cheese it! The fuzz!" Hard to say, though. I wasn't checking dates and the late '50s-early '60s had a very similar "look".
@@inspectre27 . that's a great point! I hadn't really thought about it until you mentioned it, but you're right about how time evolves (your '50s to '60s comment). People (including myself, before now) seem to think of a 'decade' as art/music/slang/style set in stone. It's really not like that at all. Thanks!!
All kinds of actors from Lord of the Rings in this movie. Oh and Fuzz is what we called the police back in the 80's. Oh and Point Break is an awesome movie
Ya gotta do "At World's End" now, to complete the trilogy! Hot Fuzz is to action movies what Shaun was to horror movies, a perfect blend of comedy and any genre these two guys mix together. Great stuff!
I think my favourite fact about this movie is, it was filmed in Edgar Wright's hometown! Imagine growing up and moving away to become a really successful movie director, and coming back to make an action movie where you grew up! That must have felt pretty epic to him. Also your laugh is AWESOME and please don't filter it or yourself!
Also PLEASE consider watching Scott Pilgrim vs The World, also Edgar Wright directing, and it's obvious. You mention rewatchability, Scott Pilgrim is probably the movie I've rewatched the most! But yeah I've never been disappointed by an Edgar Wright movie.
Please react to : ★ *Scott Pilgrim vs. the World* (2010) 🔥 _/starring Michael Cera , Chris Evans & Brie Larson_ Directed by *Edgar Wright* ★ *Paul* (2011) 🔥 _/starring Simon Pegg , Nick Frost , Kristen Wiig & Seth Rogen (as Paul)_
Great reaction Whims! I absolutely LOVE the awards you give. "Most uncomfortable way to wear glasses", had me rolling! I never even thought of that shit, but you are so dead on..🤣🤣🤣.
You missed something. After Angel fought Michael (the Big dude) and he was running off, he almost forgot his notebook. Danny (Nick Frost) put it in his pocket, and then that's what he stabbed. Like Danny knew what he was running into.
First time watching your channel/reactions but i really like your analysis at the end, you properly get the film. I genuinely believe if British humour was more internationally accessible this would be considered the best comedy of all time. My favourite film ever, i watch this film like 4-6 times a year and it's still not lost it's charm. Also massive shout out for being the only reaction I've seen that's included the "Prick, Wanker" lines. Iconic moment.
For me one of the biggest jokes (actually intentional funny, not funny as in lame) was who they managed to assemble for the cast as a whole. Without you recognising hardly anyone you still loved it, which was great.
It's a bit fascinating. You know that the one guy is suspicious, and you suspect that he's TOO suspicious. You get the sense that he's being served on a silver platter, as the fillet o red herring. The twist is so unexpected, though. You have an extremely quirky town, and that's usually done just to set the environment. The goal of the viewer is to usually see the value of the new setting and interpret it through the quirks that have been established. It's not often that you realize that the entire town isn't just quirky. They're actually also crooked. The motives are also so odd, that even though all the pieces were there, none of it was telegraphed, until the final reveal. I see this movie working well as a mini-series, and maybe future cases evolving it into a full blown series. It reminds me of a lot of the detective shows one might see on BritBox. That's one thing that contributes to the whole effect. There's a bit of familiarity to the whole thing, but the whole thing is not at all what it seems. Angel is a fish out of water the whole time, and it's really hard to judge what is truly out of place. He spends a majority of the film investigating, and though the solution seems within reach, he never quite gets there. A series could take those pieces and really expand on them. I think it's a concept where a lot could be added, and a lot could be padded - without any of it seeming like padding.
You might have caught this while editing, but they foreshadowed the whole movie twist at 1:30. Nicholas Angel "You can't just make people disappear." "Yes I can, I'm the Chief Inspector." Also I love the editing in this movie. It's so fast and snappy on the cuts.
All of it really but a couple of my personal favourite bits are: The irony of the neighbour watch man calling him a busybody; Danny “accidentally” shooting the doctor in the foot, twice.
Honestly, you are an absolutely top tier reactor. Always gives a genuine reaction. Sometimes not a lot is said since you're enjoying it so much, and that frankly is fun to see. Does a re-watch or two and does some homework on it.. What other reactor goes so far? And because of all the effort, what you have to say is concise, to the point, and focuses on the things that make it worth watching or not. Really well edited too.
Now I just realized... when Angel (at around 7:20) hunts the thief in the supermarket and Butterman throws the DVD back in the cage with the cheap movies... there is one called "Zombie Party" - It's the cover of "Shaun of the Dead"! - and a price tag covers Simon Peggs face!!!
That is the name they used in Spain for that movie... in english as it is there. They changed the name in english to put another name in english, in Spain.
Did you notice that almost everyone in the town had a surname which is derived for an occupation: Wainwright, Skinner, Cooper, Weaver, Messanger, Thatcher, Reaper, Merchant, Porter, Fisher, Shooter, Walkerm Draper, Tiller, Cartwright, Blower, Hatcher, Paver Roper, Staker, Treacher, & Cocker.
And of course the two detectives were Wainwright and Cartwright. Wain being a more archaic word for a wagon. So not only are they twins in mannerism and first name but last name too.
wasnt that the origin of European surnames? Smith is from black smith. Coopersmith is coppersmith. Peuterschidt, Peuter (metal amalgam) smith. Cobler. etc.... I'm assuming they put that in the movie to tell you without telling you how very very old and conservative the town is: they still have the original residents.
still one of my all time favourite movies/comedies. The jokes don't get old, it's just so well done and fun throughout. Thanks for your reaction and the effort you put into the review! It's truly for the greater good
You mention that everyone and their mother had guns at one point in your outro. Do you remember that 'the Andys' tell Angel that every farmer and their mother is packing in Sandford? And that later in the movie, when he's coming back into town for the final showdown, he encounters a farmer and his mother while still outside the town, and they both have guns? Such great writing in this movie.
You'll enjoy the tv series "Spaced". They got the funding for Shaun of the dead based off of making that series. It's a totally different story, but with a familiar feel. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are main characters and some of the other actors in these films crop up in episodes. I think Edgar Wright was directing it, too, but my memory is a little hazy on that
Perfect movie. Some info you might not know, as someone who lives in the UK: Lots of the cast are actors who were known for either UK television shows or stand up comedy, and this was a massive thing for them to be seen internationally. There is a TV show called Spaced which has two seasons in the UK which has a very similar style since it was made by edgar wright and simon pegg, and stars simon and nick. Well worth seeing, very funny and smartly edited, made before Shaun of the Dead.
Dude.. finally you've got to this.!! Seeing you get the layers of British humour that transcends to someone with your observation! Your reactions are awesome. Keep dropping the content, cracking sense of humour 🤙🏼 ❤
(Whimsory mentions not having ever seen a sea mine before) Me: It would appear you haven’t seen Finding Nemo before then…which would make it a good movie to react to on this channel :)
IMO Scott Pilgrim vs the World is Wright's best. (It's a close call between Hot Fuzz and Scott Pilgrim vs the World, but I'll go with the latter). So... whenever you circle back to Wright, or a comedy... also The Big Lebowski is one of the best comedies of all-time. (Maybe *THE* best? The Princess Bride is a comedy and a better movie - maybe THE best movie of all-time - but The Big Lebowski is funnier.) I'd recommend that if you haven't seen it... I think you might've? But I'm not sure, I'll check your channel after watching this react. And delete the last part if you've done it already.
Theres funnier movies than this. Waterboy, Ace Ventura pet detective, Billy Madison, The longest yard with Adam sandler, This is the End, The Interview, Friday. You should watch those Whimsory.
Just rewatched this reaction. What on earth is going on in the top right corner @36:47 ??? Made me almost fall off my chair. I _think_ it's a cat (which vanishes in later cuts). But it's nice to pretend it might be some clever symbol of picking up new things after multiple rewatches. Something Hot Fuzz totally masters.
It's really remarkable how much work you put into the videos. Especially the last part where you talk about the movie I think is very good, really interesting and that also sets you apart from other reactions. Nevertheless, I have a reluctance to click on the video even though I haven't seen a bad video from you yet. My buddy's girlfriend looks like you and I don't like her at all. I've never met such a bad person before. But I have to say you look much better. And your personality shines even beyond the screen.
You cut the mind map for Sergeant Tony Fisher (when Nicholas first meets him, there's a whiteboard behind Fisher with the unflattering mind map). Shame.
I mean, I wouldn’t say The Lion King sucks. I would say it is massively, massively overrated and wouldn’t even make my Top 5 of Disney movies of The Little Mermaid to Treasure Planet run (if that seems arbitrary it’s just the period when I would see every release in the theatres!)
Old guy here. Not your target audience. IMHO time. You have a sweet personality, but mediocre movie selection. You should do a reaction with Casual Nerd Reactions. He's like an older male version of you. It would either be a dud or a great show. Or Jerome Weiselberry. She's like your older nerdy sister.
All I'm wondering is: as a 49 year old guy, could I ever still grow hair as long as you have (I still have all but would it ever grow that lenght) .. I know, I'm crazy ..
In regard to things that are so bad they’re good, that’s kind of how I feel about the Nissan Cube, particularly when it’s painted chrome green, as most of them seem to be. They’re so unbelievably ugly I can’t look at them. Absolutely hideous. I kind of want one, just to have the ugliest car ever made.
Your next achievement is unlocked when you finish the cornetto trilogy with world's end and then I highly recommend Paul I personally recommend it high and highly but that's me lol.
No problem saying they could make a funeral funny. There’s actually a movie called death at a funeral and it is hilarious. Stars Chris rock, Danny Glover, and Zoe Saldana. Just to name a few of the many many big stars in this movie, the 2010 version death at a funeral.
If you want to find out if a funeral can be funny watch Death at a Funeral (2007). You must watch that version though, there was another US version in 2010 that is nowhere near as good.
I think most comedic writing is trying to figure out ways to get the most irreverent laughs out of the audiences, by having you laugh at some other humor that overlays horrifying, shocking, grotesque, or dramatic moments-decapitations, stabbings, maimings, the most gruesome murders.
@13:31 10 years ago, I was walking up to a beer store and all of a sudden this van door opens next to me and this chick just pops a squat and starts pissing all over. When ya gotta go I guess.
If the Oscars took comedy seriously this screenplay absolutely should have been nominated. Its construction is phenomenal.

The result is one of the best bromances in film history.
According to Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg it is an ACTAUL *R*omance. Even the older actors who did one of the commentaries picked up on it.

Forgotten masterpiece
Everytime I see a reaction to Sixth Sense, I think back to the reference to it in Spaced.
Spaced was written by Simon Pegg and Jessica Hynes (nee. Stevenson) and was directed by Edgar Wright
Spaced also has an absolutely freaking amazing soundtrack.
Spaced is the next best thing to going clubbing with Tyres.
"Fuzz" is an old 1960s-'70s US slang for 'the police'. We may have stole it from the UK, the Supergrass song in the credits uses the term.
I wouldn't say stole, it's language. Language just gets adopted & adapted.

The twist is so unexpected, though. You have an extremely quirky town, and that's usually done just to set the environment. The goal of the viewer is to usually see the value of the new setting and interpret it through the quirks that have been established. It's not often that you realize that the entire town isn't just quirky. They're actually also crooked. The motives are also so odd, that even though all the pieces were there, none of it was telegraphed, until the final reveal.
I see this movie working well as a mini-series, and maybe future cases evolving it into a full blown series. It reminds me of a lot of the detective shows one might see on BritBox. That's one thing that contributes to the whole effect. There's a bit of familiarity to the whole thing, but the whole thing is not at all what it seems. Angel is a fish out of water the whole time, and it's really hard to judge what is truly out of place. He spends a majority of the film investigating, and though the solution seems within reach, he never quite gets there. A series could take those pieces and really expand on them. I think it's a concept where a lot could be added, and a lot could be padded - without any of it seeming like padding.
You might have caught this while editing, but they foreshadowed the whole movie twist at 1:30. Nicholas Angel "You can't just make people disappear." "Yes I can, I'm the Chief Inspector." Also I love the editing in this movie. It's so fast and snappy on the cuts.
All of it really but a couple of my personal favourite bits are: The irony of the neighbour watch man calling him a busybody; Danny “accidentally” shooting the doctor in the foot, twice.
If you like Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, you must watch "Paul"
Yeeessss! I love Paul soooo much!
Shaun Of The Dead
@@davidandrew7872she did Shaun of the Dead.
Honestly, you are an absolutely top tier reactor. Always gives a genuine reaction. Sometimes not a lot is said since you're enjoying it so much, and that frankly is fun to see. Does a re-watch or two and does some homework on it.. What other reactor goes so far? And because of all the effort, what you have to say is concise, to the point, and focuses on the things that make it worth watching or not. Really well edited too.
Now I just realized... when Angel (at around 7:20) hunts the thief in the supermarket and Butterman throws the DVD back in the cage with the cheap movies... there is one called "Zombie Party" - It's the cover of "Shaun of the Dead"! - and a price tag covers Simon Peggs face!!!
That is the name they used in Spain for that movie... in english as it is there. They changed the name in english to put another name in english, in Spain.
Did you notice that almost everyone in the town had a surname which is derived for an occupation: Wainwright, Skinner, Cooper, Weaver, Messanger, Thatcher, Reaper, Merchant, Porter, Fisher, Shooter, Walkerm Draper, Tiller, Cartwright, Blower, Hatcher, Paver Roper, Staker, Treacher, & Cocker.
Very few react channels ever pick up on that fact.
And of course the two detectives were Wainwright and Cartwright. Wain being a more archaic word for a wagon. So not only are they twins in mannerism and first name but last name too.
P. I. Staker? Oh come on!
I've seen this Movie a lot of times, and several reactions to it aswell, and I've never noticed that before.
wasnt that the origin of European surnames? Smith is from black smith. Coopersmith is coppersmith. Peuterschidt, Peuter (metal amalgam) smith. Cobler. etc.... I'm assuming they put that in the movie to tell you without telling you how very very old and conservative the town is: they still have the original residents.
Always a good day when Whimsory uploads.
still one of my all time favourite movies/comedies. The jokes don't get old, it's just so well done and fun throughout.
Thanks for your reaction and the effort you put into the review! It's truly for the greater good
It's part of the 'Cornetto Ice Cream Trilogy' the last film being 'The World's End'. Oh, and fuzz is a nickname for the police.
Nothing worse than a crusty juggler.
my two favourite shots of this movie: the farmers mum getting a flying kick, and the dual pistol bike-lady flipping over Dannys car door
You mention that everyone and their mother had guns at one point in your outro.
Do you remember that 'the Andys' tell Angel that every farmer and their mother is packing in Sandford? And that later in the movie, when he's coming back into town for the final showdown, he encounters a farmer and his mother while still outside the town, and they both have guns? Such great writing in this movie.
You'll enjoy the tv series "Spaced". They got the funding for Shaun of the dead based off of making that series. It's a totally different story, but with a familiar feel. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are main characters and some of the other actors in these films crop up in episodes. I think Edgar Wright was directing it, too, but my memory is a little hazy on that
Perfect movie. Some info you might not know, as someone who lives in the UK: Lots of the cast are actors who were known for either UK television shows or stand up comedy, and this was a massive thing for them to be seen internationally. There is a TV show called Spaced which has two seasons in the UK which has a very similar style since it was made by edgar wright and simon pegg, and stars simon and nick. Well worth seeing, very funny and smartly edited, made before Shaun of the Dead.
Dude.. finally you've got to this.!! Seeing you get the layers of British humour that transcends to someone with your observation!
Your reactions are awesome. Keep dropping the content, cracking sense of humour 🤙🏼 ❤
PAUL (2011). You won’t be disappointed!!!
When you decide to watch 'The World's End' do not watch any trailers.
I second this advice.
Good reaction, ur cute btw 😉
Your laugh is delightful!
I wouldn't trust him with directions to a building I'm already in!
LOL!
Oh my that's funny!
I think you have a Great Laugh. It makes me smile. Very Good Reaction Video.🧸
Now watch Worlds End please, for the greater good.
Eyes Wide Shut, Election, The Talented Mr Ripley, Drugstore Cowboy, Igby Goes Down, Dr Zhivago, Snatch, Shadow of the Vampire
(Whimsory mentions not having ever seen a sea mine before)
Me: It would appear you haven’t seen Finding Nemo before then…which would make it a good movie to react to on this channel :)
Peter Jackson and Cait Blanchett are both in this movie uncredited. Ill give you the fun of figuring it out though.
British version of an American Buddy-Cop film (which is an American genre).
You're adorable.
Timothy Dalton, the supermarket owner played James Bond.
IMO Scott Pilgrim vs the World is Wright's best. (It's a close call between Hot Fuzz and Scott Pilgrim vs the World, but I'll go with the latter). So... whenever you circle back to Wright, or a comedy... also The Big Lebowski is one of the best comedies of all-time. (Maybe *THE* best? The Princess Bride is a comedy and a better movie - maybe THE best movie of all-time - but The Big Lebowski is funnier.) I'd recommend that if you haven't seen it... I think you might've? But I'm not sure, I'll check your channel after watching this react. And delete the last part if you've done it already.
Theres funnier movies than this. Waterboy, Ace Ventura pet detective, Billy Madison, The longest yard with Adam sandler, This is the End, The Interview, Friday. You should watch those Whimsory.
Just rewatched this reaction. What on earth is going on in the top right corner @36:47 ??? Made me almost fall off my chair.
I _think_ it's a cat (which vanishes in later cuts).
But it's nice to pretend it might be some clever symbol of picking up new things after multiple rewatches.
Something Hot Fuzz totally masters.
It's really remarkable how much work you put into the videos. Especially the last part where you talk about the movie I think is very good, really interesting and that also sets you apart from other reactions. Nevertheless, I have a reluctance to click on the video even though I haven't seen a bad video from you yet. My buddy's girlfriend looks like you and I don't like her at all. I've never met such a bad person before. But I have to say you look much better. And your personality shines even beyond the screen.
Obligatory “The greater good.”
The greater good
react to the SHOW
netflix ARCANE ( 2021 )
and
netflix DARK ( 2017-2020 )
You cut the mind map for Sergeant Tony Fisher (when Nicholas first meets him, there's a whiteboard behind Fisher with the unflattering mind map). Shame.
I mean, I wouldn’t say The Lion King sucks. I would say it is massively, massively overrated and wouldn’t even make my Top 5 of Disney movies of The Little Mermaid to Treasure Planet run (if that seems arbitrary it’s just the period when I would see every release in the theatres!)
Old guy here. Not your target audience. IMHO time. You have a sweet personality, but mediocre movie selection. You should do a reaction with Casual Nerd Reactions. He's like an older male version of you. It would either be a dud or a great show. Or Jerome Weiselberry. She's like your older nerdy sister.
Cate blanchette plays janine(uncredited), his GF at the beginning dressed head to toe in the bio suit.
All I'm wondering is: as a 49 year old guy, could I ever still grow hair as long as you have (I still have all but would it ever grow that lenght) .. I know, I'm crazy ..
In regard to things that are so bad they’re good, that’s kind of how I feel about the Nissan Cube, particularly when it’s painted chrome green, as most of them seem to be. They’re so unbelievably ugly I can’t look at them. Absolutely hideous. I kind of want one, just to have the ugliest car ever made.
Your next achievement is unlocked when you finish the cornetto trilogy with world's end and then I highly recommend Paul I personally recommend it high and highly but that's me lol.
No problem saying they could make a funeral funny. There’s actually a movie called death at a funeral and it is hilarious. Stars Chris rock, Danny Glover, and Zoe Saldana. Just to name a few of the many many big stars in this movie, the 2010 version death at a funeral.
If you want to find out if a funeral can be funny watch Death at a Funeral (2007).
You must watch that version though, there was another US version in 2010 that is nowhere near as good.
I think most comedic writing is trying to figure out ways to get the most irreverent laughs out of the audiences, by having you laugh at some other humor that overlays horrifying, shocking, grotesque, or dramatic moments-decapitations, stabbings, maimings, the most gruesome murders.
@13:31 10 years ago, I was walking up to a beer store and all of a sudden this van door opens next to me and this chick just pops a squat and starts pissing all over. When ya gotta go I guess.
Yarp.

Surprised I don’t see any mention of watching Truth Seekers.
I wonder how old this girl is.
And if she's ready to watch some important movies Like shindler's list or saving private ryan
You must watch "Paul" next! It's a must!
Watch SPACED and all of your dreams will come true
You've done two of the Edgar Wright trilogy, now it's time for The World's End. 🙂
Comedy movie suggestion - "Death At A Funeral".
You'll have to finish up the trilogy with "PAUL".
it's really sad when you realize that if he weren't the top man's son, Danny would've been killed too
