It left you speechless! lol... I watched this movie so much when I was a kid. Such a great cast. Not the strongest movie, but it's good for what it is.
My favorite part of this movie is Carol Kane's Ghost of Christmas Present. She always plays quirky characters and i love when she winds up and clocks Bill with an uppercut. She also plays Billy Crystal's wife in "The Princess Bride," Simka on the TV show "Taxi," as well as many other roles. Another fun watch with you, V. My best to you for the holidays, and thanks for being so much fun.
Reportedly, she actually tore his lip when she pulled it and he was down for a couple days. He used to ponder whether he was hurt worse by Andie McDowell, in Groundhog Day, or Carol Kane.
I saw this movie when it first came out. The theater was pretty full and when the movie came to an end almost no one left. I guess people just wanted to see Murrays last scene. But then people started singing to the movie and soon the entire theater was singing like idiots! It's still one of the best moments I've experienced in a theater.
A Christmas carol is an amazing example of redemption no matter what version you choose to watch. Good commentary as usual. One thing for sure is that Scrooge is a real pig no matter what version, and I know a few real life Scrooges True Story
@@VerowakReacts You’re probably being sarcastic but it certainly should be a priority. Being able to communicate properly is, at least to me, quite satisfying.
Two of Bill Murray's brothers are in this movie. Most people recognize Brian Doyle Murray as Bill's dad in the 'Christmas past' segment, but his other brother John Murray plays his brother James as well. John Murray tried his hand at acting but never really made a name for himself. However, he's also in Elf, the runner up for your poll. He plays 'man in the elevator'.
When she turned off the sound for the film, she probably accidentally turned off the sound for her recording too :D I have no idea about this technology, so don't take this comment too seriously 😛
The Ghost of Christmas Past is the lead singer from way back the New York Dolls. He also had a singer gimmick in the 80's called Buster Poindexter. Great crossover talent like Meat Loaf or Bowie.
"The Muppet's Christmas Carol," has comedic elements, but is actually a pretty faithful adaptation of the book by Charles Dickens. Michael Caine plays Ebenezer Scrooge, and he does so in a 100% serious manner. He gives a realistic, emotional performance as if he wasn't surrounded by a cast of puppets. Other versions that most people consider the best or most significant include: The 1951 version starring Alastair Sim 1984 version starring George C. Scott 1999 version starring Patrick Stewart 1938 film with Reginald Owen There are several more live-action movies and too many cartoon versions to list. "Mickey's Christmas Carol," by Disney is often cited as a fan favorite cartoon version.
Fired on Christmas Eve, nice 'Elliot Loudermilk' is Bobcat Goldthwait, who'd been a loud screamin' long-haired crazy-voiced comedian🤪 (:like Sam Kinison;) & he'd been in "Police Academy", etc...
For more Bill Murray, consider checking out: "Meatballs", "Caddyshack", "What About Bob", "Groundhog Day", and for something a little different "St Vincent"
Thanks, Verowak! ☃ Just in case you're curious, my favorite version of Dickens' tale is SCROOGE/A CHRISTMAS CAROL (1951) with the musical SCROOGE (1970) close behind. Most versions are worth seeing. Each try to add or emphasize something from the original. 🔸 Your whole video the audio sounded good... but there was no audio in the "thoughts and review" section.
I thought it was kind of funny that Bill Murray says "You... Who was making noise through the whole movie." And you said "Not me" then suddenly you go silent for the rest of the video. lol
This was a nice little film, but I thought the scene with him and the ghost of his old boss was really the phenomenal part. You could tell they genuinely spent time on the effects and the dynamic between the two. It made the encounter rather haunting and set the stage for everything to come.
Fantastic reaction to one of the greatest holiday movies, ever. Sorry I missed your summation. I can’t think of a bad Bill Murray movie. If you haven’t, Groundhog Day or any of the Wes Anderson movies in which Murray is included are amazing.
Oh Verowak kept thinking they were taping the Scrooge TV show when all the promos are about it si g a LIVE show on Christmas Eve with all those cameos and live shots from an artist painting the Berlin Wall and the Pope blessing folks in Rome etc. 🤦♂️ Such a fun version of A Christmas Carol. Very 80s; very Bill Murray.
Something I noticed in the movie, that I believe no reactor has mentioned... When Frank is startled by an actor who he thinks is the Ghost of Christmas Future, he elbows his secretary Grace in the face. That was real. Bill Murray really did hit Alfre Woodard by mistake.
Glad you like Scrooged its one of my favourites and do not worry about the outro been meaning to learn to lip read anyways, I imagine you were telling everyone to have a nice christmas, you too I will I also got my lemonade
I wish "The Night the Reindeer Died," starring Lee Majors was a real thing. That would be my favorite Christmas movie of all time. 🤣Majors was a lot more well-known back when "Scrooged" was made. He starred in two popular TV shows called "The Six Million Dollar Man" and "The Fall Guy."
I never understood why stealing cabs from other people in NY is a thing, especially in movies. Is there a huge shortage? I know the doormen get kickbacks from them, but why don't they just allow ENOUGH cabs? Does the Mayor's office have some reason to restrict them so much?
So bummed I can't read lips to hear what you thought. You should watch every version and retelling of "A Christmas Carol". Every one seems to have it's own take that adds to the value of the story, and the story is a great one. The "more gravy about you than grave" is the line that really made me curious what the Dickens story actually contained. Every telling seems to add value (I haven't watched the Muppets or any animated telling, so I can't vouch for them).
Thank you for your reaction. My vote for my favorite ghost is....the ghost of Christmas present!!! I love her brutality. Merry Christmas ⛄️ christmas 🎄.
If you want another version of A Christmas Carol, first stop should always be the best one - the 1951 version with Alastair Sim. If you want to see another comedic adaptation of A Christmas Carol, then Blackadder's Christmas Carol is one I'd recommend. It would help if you've seen the Blackadder TV series first though - series 2 and 3 especially.
the muppet one is one of the most faithful adaptions, just has puppet frogs, bears and pigs etc. instead of humans. Tho i am bias as i love the muppets, its a fantastic movie
First comment? I'm never first. Lol. One of Bill's best imho. He's been great over the years in playing a cynical butt-head. Lesson learned in all thank goodness
Hi Verowak, Merry Christmas. You want to see more Bill Murray at his normal, happy, loving, giving and caring self? Try a movie called "Groundhog Day" or another one, "Kingpin" With co-stars Woody Harrelson and Randy Quaid. Not a Christmas movie but is funny ANY time of year! And great reaction, as always, thanks again for sharing.
Please watch The Muppet Movie (1979) before watching A Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) as I think it’s good to get to know the characters as themselves before seeing them play other characters. Plus the cameos in The Muppet Movie will blow your mind😊
Is it weird that I watched the ending all the way through and tried to figure out what was said? I really want to know. There was sooo much. But great movie and reaction. Thank you. Have a good day and happy holidays.😊
2:35 I don’t know if anyone, at any point, has actually _made_ a shoot-‘em-up action thriller set in Santa’s Workshop. It seems like a really awesome idea; the kind of thing I would probably like to see. If anyone’s aware of such a movie, let me know.
Thank goodness. I can't stomach Elf. Missed ya my favorite Ewok. Hope you remember me for that. You did me dirty with "It's a Wonderful Life" I was balling like a kid watching you react to that. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Vero. Be safe and Happy this holiday season. Sending nothing but love and thanks.
Don't mention Back To The Future. It's hard to believe that Western Union would deliver the letter and why did the car even go to the past if it wasn't going 88 mph.
I thought this was hilarious when I was 13 watching it in the theater. But the older I get (almost 50 now...) the more unbearable some of Frank's actions become, and I'm not sure i like this movie anymore.
Reactor removes earbuds and then audience can't hear the video. Only true engineers have that kind of control. (Engineers can do practically anything -- it's why you try to stay on their good side.) Mer Crissmus.

I'm so sorry, I accidentally exported the outro with a muted audio track!!!! 😢😭😭😭 Christmas is ruined!!!
not it happen but its a good reaction thanks
No worries! It’s fun trying to guess what you’re saying! Merry Christmas 🎄🎅🏻
I thought it was a joke 😂 Ah well. Things happen. Have a nice christmas!
you had one job!
I cancelled my entire Christmas because of your muted outro. 🤬🤬😁😉
It left you speechless! lol... I watched this movie so much when I was a kid. Such a great cast. Not the strongest movie, but it's good for what it is.
Funny how the ghost of Christmas past took him to the year Doc invented the flux capacitor

Wow, so many uploads in such a short time. I need nothing more for christmas.
13:06 “Are you him?”
“‘Are you _he?’_ sir.”
😄
Correcting grammar is always a priority! 🤣
His falling when he gets out was not planned btw. He slipped and fell and everyone laughed their asses off so it ended up in the movie
@@VerowakReacts You’re probably being sarcastic but it certainly should be a priority. Being able to communicate properly is, at least to me, quite satisfying.
Bill's brother in this is his real brother, and his "dad" is also his brother.
Don't look now, but his brothers party guest is also Bill's brother Joel.
thanks i dont know that
Yep, this film must have the record for containing the highest number of Murrays.
Funny, but I've seen literally scores of videos on UA-cam of pets watching and reacting to television. Prophetic.
Great Reaction!!!! Merry Christmas and God bless us, every one!

Actually it’s THREE, his brother Joel Murray is a guest at James’ (John Murray) dinner party.
@@andreshernandez1180 I did not know that, thanks
Did you have technical issues with the outro, or did I suddenly go deaf? 😳
When she turned off the sound for the film, she probably accidentally turned off the sound for her recording too :D
I have no idea about this technology, so don't take this comment too seriously 😛
Well, Christmas is not only a holy night, it is also a silent night! ;)
But sorry, she must feel bad this stupid accident happened!
I accidentally muted the audio track for the outro 😭
We love you anyway !@@VerowakReacts
@@VerowakReacts Whew. I thought UA-cam had copyright claimed your own words there.
This is my favorite adaptation of a Christmas Carol.
Awesome reaction as always❤
Thank you so much!!
@VerowakReacts you're welcome! Happy Holidays 🥳
My favorite *A Christmas Carol* adaption.
The Ghost of Christmas Past is the lead singer from way back the New York Dolls.
He also had a singer gimmick in the 80's called Buster Poindexter.
Great crossover talent like Meat Loaf or Bowie.
i remember my grandma telling me that old wives tale about sitting too close to the TV... the things we believed as kids, i swear
Reactors love this movie since they are directly addressed at the end.😂
Funny enough there is actual programming for pets today. I see channels on youtube that are dedicated to entertaining pets😀
I know, right? And it works!! 😂

Fun one, Verowak! Thanks for sharing it! 🎀
My pleasure, thanks for enjoying it!! 😊
This is fundamental to my entire Christmas and his ending monologue is woven into my whole life. Helping others is kind of addictive!
For more Bill Murray, consider checking out: "Meatballs", "Caddyshack", "What About Bob", "Groundhog Day", and for something a little different "St Vincent"

Yeah, the 1951 version is the best, but Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol (1962) is right up there. The Muppets are a close third.
@@kinokind293 So many great ones!
The best adaptation is The Muppets version. 😁
Nah, it’s too serious.
I thought it was kind of funny that Bill Murray says "You... Who was making noise through the whole movie." And you said "Not me" then suddenly you go silent for the rest of the video. lol
Hahahaha That's now my story for having the outro muted!
@@VerowakReacts You have to admit, you really did talk through the whole movie. ;)
This was a nice little film, but I thought the scene with him and the ghost of his old boss was really the phenomenal part. You could tell they genuinely spent time on the effects and the dynamic between the two. It made the encounter rather haunting and set the stage for everything to come.

Such a fun version of A Christmas Carol. Very 80s; very Bill Murray.
2:18 "I do want to see, like, evil things in Christmas!"
Ah, well! Then feel free to invite me over during the holidays...
Something I noticed in the movie, that I believe no reactor has mentioned... When Frank is startled by an actor who he thinks is the Ghost of Christmas Future, he elbows his secretary Grace in the face. That was real. Bill Murray really did hit Alfre Woodard by mistake.
10/10 reaction. Merry Christmas ⛄🎄🎁 miss Verowak.
Thank you! Happy holidays!!
@VerowakReacts your audio cuts out towards the end of the video just a heads up 🙂
Glad you like Scrooged its one of my favourites and do not worry about the outro been meaning to learn to lip read anyways, I imagine you were telling everyone to have a nice christmas, you too I will I also got my lemonade

It is, my mistake 😭
@@VerowakReacts thanks for the reaction anyway merry xmas from mexico
That was a great reaction to a super-fun movie but I was shocked at the expletive-laden outro. 😉
I never understood why stealing cabs from other people in NY is a thing, especially in movies. Is there a huge shortage? I know the doormen get kickbacks from them, but why don't they just allow ENOUGH cabs? Does the Mayor's office have some reason to restrict them so much?
Danny Elfman composed the music for this (he's done most of the music for Tim Burton's films)

Congrats on being first!
"I specifically requested it", was that a Capt. Holt quote? From Brooklyn 99?
It's a pity, I can't lip-read.
The outro is high pitch so the dogs can hear 😂 (no, I messed up in my edit)
The muted bit was so funny 😂
FYI there is now a cable channel for dogs.
Hi Verowak, Merry Christmas. You want to see more Bill Murray at his normal, happy, loving, giving and caring self? Try a movie called "Groundhog Day" or another one, "Kingpin" With co-stars Woody Harrelson and Randy Quaid. Not a Christmas movie but is funny ANY time of year! And great reaction, as always, thanks again for sharing.
Ok, so you need to watch the Muppet Christmas Carol. And here's a very early Bill Murray movie you might like - Meatballs.
I see youve taken my advice and watched some Laurel and Hardy silent films and decided to do the same for the outro! 😅😉
Please watch The Muppet Movie (1979) before watching A Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) as I think it’s good to get to know the characters as themselves before seeing them play other characters. Plus the cameos in The Muppet Movie will blow your mind😊
Cameo by Anne Ramsey as the old homeless woman in the shelter. Also Mama Fratelli in The Goonies and Momma in Throw Momma from the Train.
Carol Kane tore the inside of Murray's lip when she was tugging on it. Murray required stitches.
Is it weird that I watched the ending all the way through and tried to figure out what was said? I really want to know. There was sooo much. But great movie and reaction. Thank you. Have a good day and happy holidays.😊
I'd recommend Blackadder's Christmas Carol as a funny subversive take on the story
Fun fact the guy who plays his father and one who plays his brother are his actual brothers
YOU HAVE to do The Muppet Christmas Carol!!!!
In case I don't see you: Good Afternoon, Good Evening, and Merry Christmas :)
is the after talk a test?
No it's a mistake on my part 😭
I forgot Robert Mitchum was in this
One of the best Christmas movies.
2:35 I don’t know if anyone, at any point, has actually _made_ a shoot-‘em-up action thriller set in Santa’s Workshop. It seems like a really awesome idea; the kind of thing I would probably like to see. If anyone’s aware of such a movie, let me know.
Not in his workshop but Violent Night (2022) involves Santa.
@@toodlescae I've _seen_ that movie. It's pretty awesome, and definitely along the right lines.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Vero. Be safe and Happy this holiday season. Sending nothing but love and thanks.
If you like Bill Murray, the best movie he was in is Groundhog Day (1993).
You need to check out Muppets Christmas Carol
Scrooged beat The Muppets Christmas Carol in the YT poll I made. The Muppets version didn't seem popular for some reason
@@VerowakReacts It's still a fun movie
This is my favorite christmas movie!
Your after movie reaction is muted.
Oh no!!!! The one time I publish and out of the house 😨
You must watch The Muppet Movie, it's hilarious for young and old.
Love the reaction at 19:55
Wish I could read lips.
If you like Bill Murray, watch What About Bob when you have time...
Don't mention Back To The Future. It's hard to believe that Western Union would deliver the letter and why did the car even go to the past if it wasn't going 88 mph.
I thought this was hilarious when I was 13 watching it in the theater. But the older I get (almost 50 now...) the more unbearable some of Frank's actions become, and I'm not sure i like this movie anymore.
I completely get that, Frank is quite something and not for everyone, especially as we get older lol

Oh no, the outro became a silent movie!
Hi Verowax hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤️
Hi Johx, I hope you are too!
Shame that they can't change Indiana Jones Six.
Is it just me or is the outro really dramatic without audio ?
Sorry, I cannot stomach Bill Murray. No for me.
Thank, God! ELF sucks. Mouth breathers think Collin Ferrell is funny.
Colin Farrell is not in Elf :)
I can't stand Will Ferrell either.
