Yup... that's what it needed to be at least entertaining. The title character is just... underwhelming. Like racism is evil, we get it, but if your going to keep my interest I need a little more then just banal evil. I can watch youtube clips for that.
I'd love to imagine a "Karen" named Karen wanting to speak to the manager, being forwarded to you and feeling happy that your name is also Karen. Idk why but that thought made me chuckle a little.
@Mant111 you know what isn't a racist stereotype the fact that white people are more offended by things that are "offensive" to others than the other person is like for example you ask a Mexican if they want tequila a white person will a surprising amount of time be like "why because they're Mexican?!" And the Mexican person will be like " why you got some?" I swear us white people need to chill the fuck out
Writers: How can we let the audience know she doesn't like black people?" Writer #1: "Let's have a character say she doesn't like black people, it's genius!"
Good thing Coke was able to start the conversation about these subjects. Without Coke, I never would have realized being racist was bad. In the future, I'd like a lot more Coke to help me see these things in a new light.
I have an Aunt Karen who is the literal opposite of “Karens”. She’s a clinical psychologist, yoga instructor for injured veterans, and she beads her own corsets for the Mardi Gras parade every year🤣 She’s my HERO
I love the part when husband literally walks by the surveillance room that showed cameras watching them, but the red flag that set him off was the Confederate soap despenser
I had a teacher named karen that even had the stereotypical haircut but the sad part is is that she was the best teacher Ive ever had and was a genuinely great person
God, “while this gentleman plays the trumpet” killed me. Was that guy actually rocking out on a trumpet while they gave an impassioned speech about racism? What the fuck?
@@thedude8457 Thats not the assumption my guy. The reason why they find it weird is because someone is in the middle of a passionate speech about racism and then there's a loud af trumpet drowning it out. Nothing about the trumpet is racist here and that wasn't the point, it was the fact that the addition of a trumpet is so strange for that scene
I had a customer come in and she was nice, and I had to take her name. It was Karen. I silently laughed to myself "aw poor unlucky name" a week later she came in and decided to be the exact stereotype her name implied her to be. I genuinely disliked her after that. Her behavior was degenerate.
They simply haven’t been on Facebook long enough yet... It’ll get them, racism, flat earth theory, 5G fear, etc. Even unision of all of them. *It truly is inevitable*
My mom’s name is Karen, and I always tell her she uses her Karen powers for good not evil. She’ll yell, but not at a manager at a Rite Aid, more likely at a pickup truck with a confederate flag in the bed
Any chance you ever graduate to two topics at a time? Just wondering cuz I enjoyed this comment and wish there was more and maybe if you start doing two topics at a time, I can get an extra joke from your comments.
My aunt is named Karen as well, and she's the sweetest, most timid, least likely to demand a manager woman ever. I doubt she would even dare to politely return a completely wrong order delivered to her at a restaurant, let along cause a scene of any kind. That being said, "Karen" is still somehow the absolutely correct term for these people...
I've dealt with tons of these women in retail and seeing how if they want a discount they need to give me their name I've noticed their names are more along the lines of Sue which is funny because they definitely seem to want to sue you over the slightest inconvenience....
AAAAAAHHHHH!!!! PAAAAAIIIINNNN!!!!!! I broke my hand yesterday because of the hate comments I get all the time. I was so angry that I punched a hole in my computer. Please don't hate me, dear re
I genuinely hate her. People tried to say it was because she’s autistic and that it was a meltdown (which I’m not sure if that’s even true.) Normal autistic people don’t have racist tantrums. It wasn’t a meltdown. We don’t want her.
A horror movie about Karens would be SO much better if the Karens in question were a specific breed of vampire that feeds of people's sanity instead of blood. So once they deplete the target's sanity, they, too, will become a Karen. I dunno, just a thought.
If you've never lived in an area that has a "Home Owner's Association" consider yourself lucky. My father and I have fought with those people for years about some of the very things in this movie. (and we are Japanese, not black!) Everything from "Your garbage cans are not properly in your driveway!" to "Why did you paint your fence auburn?! Can't you see everyone else's fences are brown!?!?!?!?!?!" They even got mad when WE paid for replacing the fence for our backyard (which separates our backyard from 4 others). We literally PAID to replace and install new sections of their fence since it intersects our yard. And their complaint? It was the "wrong type of wood." It was stupid because one of them complained "they wanted oak and we used pine" or something like that. It's like WE PAID FOR IT! lol... It's OUR yard! This BS isn't just about racist people either. Like Elvis pointed out, young adults, adults our age, many of them feel entitled to things that they either never paid for, have no responsibility for, or isn't even their business. It's more and more obvious now since everyone has a phone, everyone is connected online and it takes a second to pull up Twitter. Just don't be anywhere like what these people are in this movie. And most of all, think before you act. Half of stupidity wouldn't happen if people would pause for a second and ask themselves "Is this really a good idea?" before acting.
That is literally the point of HOA's. They have rules, guidelines and standards. If you don't like that, they maybe not join one. I don't understand why people are always complaining about HOAs, saying how bad they are just because they didn't like the rules.

Something it sounds like you've never done or tried.

My mom's name is Karen, and I've only seen her ask for a manager once in my life. She asked for the manager to let him know that our waitress was awesome
The only time mine has ever asked for one was because we were at a Red Lobster and we were waiting for like 30 or so minutes for our APPETIZER. My mom was obviously irritated so she asked where it was, the waitress said she was gunna get it but didn’t (she obviously forgot the order) so my mom asked her again and called her out on forgetting it, so the waitress called her the b word (would say it but UA-cam is weird) on her way to the back. So she walked for the manager and we got a different waitress. We still got the appetizer with the food, tho, cause the waitress forgot our order. Smh
I think my favorite thing about bigots is that they think they're subtle with their bigotry. Not the out and proud ones, the ones that deny they are. Like, they'll say one sentence and it's blaringly obvious that they're bigots. I kind of admire how they have the self awareness of a literal toddler. Must be nice.
It's odd that the writers didn't at least take that opportunity to address the absurdity of a couple going to pound town in a room without covered windows.
@@Proserpira Yeah, i really dont doubt that. The US really needs to go back and revise alot of old laws, cause they really be acting like we're still in the 1700's
@@Proserpira I mean, every country on the planet has some outdated laws that technically still exist but nobody enforces, and aren't repelled because they are either forgotten, or it's just pointless, since, well, they're not enforced. Time is money. Take France for instance. Tanning breast naked on any beach is A-ok. But a local ordinance in Paris from the early 1800's states that women aren't allowed to wear pants without the written authorization of their husband, father, or a doctor. In the UK, you're not allowed to enter parliament in a full suit of armor. Or to "handle a fish in a conspicuous manner in public". I think it specified salmon, even, as a species, but I'm not sure anymore. I once found a local writ in my town's archives stating that vehicles shouldn't exceed a certain width. From the 1700's. And it never got repelled. Half the cars in my area are technically illegal based on cart measurements.

I've never watched orange is the new black, but I've heard that she plays one of the more layered characters and gives a consistently great performance.. why did she sign on to be in this?
She was racist in that show too. Lol BUT I completely agree with you and she did playe a layered person and changed drastically in the show. She's one of m favorites inte show actually.
As a lifelong hospitality worker, we would never kick out customers for having a laugh together and not bothering anyone. Esp to someone acting nutty and entitled. We’d let “Karen” know that were a place for friends to gather and have a good time over food and drinks, and that we hope she’s enjoying herself so much as well 🙂
I thought the same. I wouldn’t kick anyone out if a customer simply told me another customer was being loud and disruptive. I would have to actually hear them being loud and disruptive myself before even considering it.
When even the black community see this film as a grossly negatively stereotypical and simplistic portrayal of racism and law enforcement relations, then you know you have a problem. This concept _might_ have worked if the film was presented as a parody, where the over-generalizations would be accepted as comedic ridiculousness, but trying to present this message in this tone just made it offensive to the point and utter trash.
The biggest racists are the ones who blindly or want the world to believe they are fighting for us and other western minorities. We tell them to shut up and stop and they never listen. Now one went full retard....
The only way to save this, turn it into a crazy slasher franchise.. start with like Karen 2: Manager Time, and in a few movies you got Karen in Space👍👍

I can't believe that some vegans still use the argument. I'm not one but it's so easy to see how they're simply right about almost everything (obviously the health benefits of veganism are sus) There's no need to use the argument. It only makes their position weaker. It either 1. Makes people angry 2. Attract actual racists 3. Make people believe that yes, they're just like other animal species therefore eating meat is acceptable. Just like bears and bigs we're omnivores, right? No one's angry and bears being bears, right?
My aunt is also named Karen and she is a really nice and fun lady. She is the only one in our family that will speak up if the order is messed up but she never does it in a rude way and people make her feel bad for speaking up. I feel bad for all the Karens that are good people but get made fun of.
I honestly felt bad for my Aunt Karen who passed away last year. She was the most down to earth person I've ever met and a wonderful person to everyone around her no matter what race they are. RIP Aunt Karen.
"Welcome to the only game where you don't request to call the manager but rather you are the manager, 'Kall of the Karen'. More manager action dammit!" "How much Karens? ALL THE KARENS!!" "You see this number over here? This is what we like to call ROOKIE NUMBERS!" "Hahahaha... We did folks, we broke the game by having so much people requesting to ask the manager at the same time..."
I love how she just gives her reason why she is complaining about the pig of “It’s a huge animal” like anything big is automatically a threat to society, if that was the case, the Great Dane would probably be extinct by now.
I heard one comment on the trailer saying that the writing was made by somone who has never met a white person, and if that's true, I'm sorry that our society as crumbled
I think Karen was trying to "Emmet Till" Malik in the beginning. If he had taken the bait and like reciprocated her advances she probably would've immediately turned around and been like "oh he assaulted me"
Well Malik is an idiot and went into her house for the bathroom so if she really wanted to at that point, she could've yelled r*pe but naaah, we just needed the jungle fever theme to assist him noticing the camera room
Every movie possible has been made, Jesus. A Karen movie? This is gonna be on the same level as a Shane Dawson movie. This will by far be the most popular comment I will ever have. Yeesh! Thanks.
Karens will just not read rooms irl, I was attending a poetry open mic at an indie bar, crowd was mostly fairly young, alternative type people all performing various types of poetry, myself included. About midway through a middle aged women goes up to the mic, gives a perfect Delores Umbridge "Eh-Em" and proceeds to read Christian based anti-vax poetry. This was after hearing people performing things about sex magick and vampirism, not her crowd at all.
@@MrMoneyclips it was defo a hilarious moment. Like we clapped for politeness but everyone else got a proper round of applause where as she got what was very obviously a half hearted curtousy clap.
The way the couple still acts completely polite and even appeasing towards the Karen even after it's well clear that she's batshit crazy and only out to cause trouble, is a reference to how we as a society treat Karens. Ie. we let them get away with massive amounts of shit that would not be tolerated from absolutely anybody else in the same situation... Simply because we're so conditioned to the idea that middle-aged white women cannot be evil and bad with malicious intent and even when they obviously are, it's somehow not completely their own fault (like it would be considered to be if it was anyone else) and will be tolerated to no end, until someone really does get seriously hurt.
The sad truth is white women have immense social power over poc. Being nice is a tactic to avoid being labeled "aggressive" or "unapproachable", which are enough reasons for a Karen to call the cops and ruin lives. Blame the people in power for infantilizing white women, not the victims
The sad thing is that it's about connections, not the value of ideas. That's why dumbass movies like this get made while really talented people struggle years to get funding 😓😓
Okay, no joke, when I was a kid, we had a crazy neighbor who thought me and me brother were sneaking into her backyard. She set up cameras and would play a radio really loudly as soon as we went outside, and even called the police on us a couple times. We ended up setting up cameras in retaliation. Just figured I'd share because it reminds me a lot of this movie.
But you literally just outed yourself dude. Because she wasn't crazy at all, she was right in the fact that you and your friend kept sneaking into her backyard. The only thing that made her Karen was the fact that she went so far out of her way to catch you two in the act I would hardly call you putting up cameras in your backyard retaliation since she never bothered to go into your guys's property. You're based.
@@ALittleLateLotusBlossom No, you don't understand. We weren't sneaking into her yard. She was literally waiting for us to go into OUR backyard to play the radio.
Several years ago, I read an article on an actor who had to portray a racist for a well known movie. He had a very hard time with the role, he researched as much as he could on to topic including looking up white supremacist websites. He just couldn’t wrap his mind around it as he said in the article he was raised to believe everyone is equal and attended schools with other students of all races. After the film wrapped up, he attended the premiere and could barely sit through his own performance it made him SO uncomfortable. He said while playing the role, he would go into his trailer and cry because of the amount of disrespect he had to portray. Inevitably he ended up in therapy, the role affected him so much. I believe he said after that he turned down any role where the character was portrayed as a racist. I really wish I could remember the actor or the film. I do remember it being profound and wildly popular even today. Reading the article really stuck with me because of the effect it had on the actor.
I think you're talking about Lakeith Stanfield. He was in Judah The Black Messiah. In the movie he plays William O'Neal who infiltrated the Chicago chapter of the Black panthers. He was on of the reasons why Fred Hampton (the chairman of the Chicago Black panthers) was murdered by the FBI.
If you remember the actor/movie title, let us know. I've heard some similar stories, but I don't remember from which movie or actor... The only slightly similar one that comes to mind now is Leonardo DiCaprio on "Django unchained", but I don't think he was traumatized after that, just a bit uncomfortable.
@@damanlidison First thought for me was Edward Norton or Edward Furlong in American History X, which had a ton of heavy scenes involving white supremacists. A lot of (dumb) people thought that they were actual racists outside of the movie, and an even dumber subset of that group thought that their characters were the heroes of the film.
It's weird watching a dude who watches a movie- that CLEARLY knows what it's doing and is doing it ALL on purpose- acting like "WHAT? Does this movie know what it's doing? It's so crazy it did that!" It knows, Elvis... that's the point. It's an exploitation film.
I think I might be able to explain why her hair doesn't get wet when it rains. As we all know, pretty much everything organic is based on bonds between carbon and hydrogen. This woman is simply so repulsive to anything alive that said aura has started to extend _beyond_ living things so now everything even remotely connected to living beings, like the hydrogen found in water molecules, just bounces right off her.
so by extension even air, because it's like 70% nitrogen, and nitrogen is also another basic element for organic life. not to mention oxygen. that said, she shouldn't even be able to breathe because air would refuse to enter her trachea. if this is the case, a question gets spontaneously raised: *what do Karens breathe?*
I'm proud to be the 69th like of this comment, it's nuanced and scientifically theorizes the ridiculous nature behind a meme of a character named Karen
In Germany, you can have your first name changed for reasons like it's harmfull for your mental health or is related to a very known character with a very bad reputation. Karen would fit into the rules for officially changing your first name.
This movie is one giant stereotype. The director has the creative ability of a 5 year old, and carries himself as if he's Michelangelo. If this isn't a sign of cultural decay I don't know what is.
@@Papagiorgio153 oh no i was agreeing with u. Oh and really dont watch many movies anymore cuz they r all so full of propaganda and agendas it takes away from the movie.
If it was a Dhar Man skit it would have SSSniper Wolf and that kid she creepilly hangs out with all the time show up and give the Karen a PS5 and then spill out a 20 minute backstory about how racism is bad because they had a hard life. This is the worst timeline version of Dhar Man where instead of PS5s and a Tesla, instead we just get murder...
The actress just seems like a typical HOA board member tbh. You know who would have KILLED this role? Kathy Bates. And I'm basing that solely on Kathy Bates' acting chops. Kathy Bates as a Karen? I would watch the shit outta that movie!
@@wastelandviking4547 My bad man, I didn't make my statement clear. The actress is playing the role as if the character was a standard HOA board member rather than playing the character as a raging 'Karen.' But that could also just be the writing. No shade intended for the actor. I'm sure she could act circles around me!
this movie is like the BET version of a Lifetime movie. This Karen lady is so absurd ... the living embodiment of the antithesis of the cable channel. For Lifetime, Karen would be a Stockbroker Husband who has 15 mistresses and 20 unknown childern who has his wife chained and gagged in the basement for 45 years.
I'm curious, the "Karen" meme started because the first Karen was actually named Karen? If so that lady did a huge disservice to all the women named Karen in the world.
nah, it's been a stereotype for a long time, there is no "first karen." the name just got popularized as a stereotypical white suburban mom name which fit the bill pretty well, and caught on as a name for it from there.
Pretty sure it originated from Kate Gosselin who embodies the "Karen" personality and has the hair everyone associates with "Karens". Jon and Kate Plus 8 shows how crazy and abusive this woman can be towards her ex husband and family. Gotta love TLC 😅👌🏻
The ""karen"" prototype pretty much lied in the stereotypical tumblr snowflake (same haircut, but the haircolor is red, and "it" keeps whining about insignificant garbage, lol). But then ppl thought it's such a great idea to popularise the middle aged blond type in 2020, while also dubbing it ""karen"". Which is fucking dumb and childish, because why fucking ""karen""???
The sad part is the overuse of the term "Karen". From defining someone unreasonable and rude, it's now used so broadly - people use it for people who stand up for themselves.... My friend got fast food, the fries were missing from the bag, so we went to the register to get the fries. People were actually calling her Karen for asking for what she payed for.....She wasn't rude mind you, but understanding that mistakes happen...
People can do that all the time. You can ask for the order that they missed. They’ll even be grateful that you told them instead of accepting whatever wrong order they gave you. So it’s normal and the ppl who called her a karen prolly have 5 yr old minds cause asking for your wrong order is a worldwide normal thing to do, or they were just joking. What’s the point taking jokes seriously in this generation? Ppl’s humors are so broken.
I’m not sure there’s really a “sad” part of the Karen meme lmao. Not trying to be an asshole but if being called a Karen is genuinely upsetting then you’re overreacting a tiny bit. Especially if you’re not being a public nuisance because if you get called a Karen for doing something completely normal then it’s most likely that they’re just referencing the meme as a joke. Internet culture doesn’t translate well to actual conversation so it comes off as an insult when it’s more likely just an ironic reference. The only people who use Karen as a genuine insult are the same people who call people simps and say “cringe” whenever someone says something they don’t like. What I’m saying is either they’re joking or they are a joke so either way it really shouldn’t bother you. Standing up for yourself makes other people upset and as far as insults go, Karen is pretty damn light lmao. My friends and I joke about being Karens all the time whenever we have to deal with shitty costumer service - lighten up a bit. It’s not a slur or anything lmao
Same with "okay boomer". It's just weaponized identity politics at an individual level. If I can label you, I can disregard every part of you even if you make a reasonable point that challenges an opinion that I have sanctified as part of my identity.
Fun fact: If you go back and watch "Lakeview Terrace" with Samuel L Jackson, which in my opinion is a really good movie and compare it to this one you will realize that they basically took that script and adapted it to this movie.
If he's not in it, he was in the thing before it. It's all illuminati cookie cutter rehashed plot machine garbage. They just want to claim the Karen persona before anyone else does, but people have commented that the character is more focused on racism than Karening everything in sight. It's a great idea for movie. A movie about a current day Karen. Who is the person who always steals trends but gets them all wrong which starts another trend based on their poorly constructed inaccuracies? Madonna? Or, I would say they Angelina'd this Karen movie.
That was actually based on a real cop who was harassing the whole neighborhood, not just the interracial couples, although he did call an interracial kid ugly to her face in front of the mom. And he also made sexual gestures to a child. The cops backed him a lot until that happened.
"THIS IS NOT MADE UP! WOMEN LIKE THIS ACTUALLY EXIST!" Yes and no. There are some pretty terrible Karen's out there but this is checking off every single racist and Karen stereotype type off into one single character. Its kind of ridiculous actually...
@@scr8846 I'm not comparing. I'm saying it would be better if the movie was a monty pythonesque absurdist film instead of a serious film. It would've worked as an actual comedy.
What’s with everyone tryina make Karens a rich white woman thing? Karenism knows neither creed, class, nor color. She just exists without carin’ whom she exists in.
So let's see here. -A man named Coke Daniels is the director. We I know that he definitely was snorting something when he came up with this film. -The film is called Karen and it is about the Karen plague that is here right now! Not to mention that it ticked every Karen box out there and it still shit. -I feel sorry for the actress who portrayed Karen. She is not getting anymore roles after this disaster of a film. -Uncle Ruckus from the Boondocks will definitely be praising this film. -I laughed my ass off when you showed the Karen going after a pig. I mean WTFH not even pigs are save. Holy Alien Gods!
I assume the actress would get less work since she apparently made some bad posts or something... I think she delved into cospiracy, racism or... in that vein anyway
I remember reading once the Leonardo DiCaprio was having a hard time on the set of Django with the amount of times he had to say the n word in the script. Apparently Samuel L Jackson pulled him aside and said “* this is just another day at work.” but he used some specific language I won’t repeat to cut the tension. Such a pro.
That’s had me thinking about anytime I’ve seen an actor in a movie/tv show say it.. I wonder how uncomfortable it makes them. One example is in L&O: SVU when a teenage boy and his whole family were racists, and the boy - when arrested - said to Ice-T’s character “n*****s like you.” I was surprised that was part of the script cuz no one ever actually said the word before.
My grandma’s name is technically spelled “Karin” but she’s literally the sweetest person I’ve ever met. She’s a MASTER at sewing and baking. She loves donating hand-sewn blankets to homeless shelters, too. Be more like my grandma “Karin.” ☺️💖
The difference between this movie to like Get Out is literally night and day. Like this movie feels like a lampoon on current events rather than a smart commentary. Literally in your face, dumbed down, "Mom can we watch Get Out? Honey we have Get Out at home. Get Out at home" level BS. Could've did some interesting things with the sudden piqued interest Karen had with the husband but then again it would've been a watered down version of that one Beyoncé movie. This is an embarrassment and literally Captain Planet did a better job with racism than this movie.
The duality of the horror genre. From masterpieces like Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds" and surprise hits like "A silent place", to... Whatever this garbage is.
@@kingofthebis1068 Fair enough. I guess I should have specified none stupid people. I live in rural Oklahoma and most people are not racist, but you can drive out into the most rural areas and still find some nooses next to a klan yahoo's house.
The guy at the party mentioning that it's funny how this Karen's name is Karen got me physically cringing. It's just the movie stating that it thinks itself is funny.
The writers who gave the character that name, made the other one say, they thought this concept was funny. Just patting themselves on the back for the cringiest shit. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
For people of a certain age, Karen will always be “a spoiled, shrill, gold-digging socialite who would sooner chew off her own foot than do an honest days work.”
The sad thing is that despite how cringe this movie is, all the things Karen said in this movie has been said to me unironically. And if you aren't nice to them you have an "attitude"
Just today I had a woman come in 30 minutes before we opened by walking in behind a coworker. I told her we don't open for another 30 minutes and she started insulting me to which a regional manager named Karen literally told her, word for word by the way, "Stop being such a Karen.". I laughed so hard at that and because several other things happened. The tombstone that said she asked the manager for the manager? Yeah that happened she asked the regional manager for the manager. She threatened to call the police for not serving her 30 minutes before we are even open. There was more but I laughed so hard I didn't hear it all and I nearly crapped my pants laughing in the back trying and failing to get a garbage bag because my body was seizing up from laughing. My side still hurts. I mean the other manager that was there literally chuckled and said "What the hell is super manager?" because the woman asked for the super manager after the RM told her she was the RM.
I would gladly write a screenplay for Karen III where her ex husband and stepfather to her children, Mike, comes back to town in his punisher-sticker laden Toyota Tacoma to get his jet ski back out of Karen's garage.
My mom is the best woman I know. She changes kid's lives everyday through her teaching, giving them a supporive adult when they don't have one. She loves and does everything for her family, often resulting in her sacrificing herself. She's beautiful, kind, funny, and truly an angel (And I'm an atheist lol). Her name is Karen, and was bullied for it on social media to the point she had to change her email and username. F to all the kind Karens. I love you mom. 💖
You know this could have been an incredible movie if it suddenly turned into a B movie slasher midway where Karen just snaps and no manager is safe.

@Mant111 you know what isn't a racist stereotype the fact that white people are more offended by things that are "offensive" to others than the other person is like for example you ask a Mexican if they want tequila a white person will a surprising amount of time be like "why because they're Mexican?!" And the Mexican person will be like " why you got some?" I swear us white people need to chill the fuck out

If you've never lived in an area that has a "Home Owner's Association" consider yourself lucky. My father and I have fought with those people for years about some of the very things in this movie. (and we are Japanese, not black!) Everything from "Your garbage cans are not properly in your driveway!" to "Why did you paint your fence auburn?! Can't you see everyone else's fences are brown!?!?!?!?!?!" They even got mad when WE paid for replacing the fence for our backyard (which separates our backyard from 4 others). We literally PAID to replace and install new sections of their fence since it intersects our yard. And their complaint? It was the "wrong type of wood." It was stupid because one of them complained "they wanted oak and we used pine" or something like that. It's like WE PAID FOR IT! lol... It's OUR yard!
This BS isn't just about racist people either. Like Elvis pointed out, young adults, adults our age, many of them feel entitled to things that they either never paid for, have no responsibility for, or isn't even their business. It's more and more obvious now since everyone has a phone, everyone is connected online and it takes a second to pull up Twitter.
Just don't be anywhere like what these people are in this movie. And most of all, think before you act. Half of stupidity wouldn't happen if people would pause for a second and ask themselves "Is this really a good idea?" before acting.

My mom's name is Karen, and I've only seen her ask for a manager once in my life. She asked for the manager to let him know that our waitress was awesome
The only time mine has ever asked for one was because we were at a Red Lobster and we were waiting for like 30 or so minutes for our APPETIZER.
My mom was obviously irritated so she asked where it was, the waitress said she was gunna get it but didn’t (she obviously forgot the order) so my mom asked her again and called her out on forgetting it, so the waitress called her the b word (would say it but UA-cam is weird) on her way to the back.

This is exactly what I said when I watched this clip
The way the couple still acts completely polite and even appeasing towards the Karen even after it's well clear that she's batshit crazy and only out to cause trouble, is a reference to how we as a society treat Karens. Ie. we let them get away with massive amounts of shit that would not be tolerated from absolutely anybody else in the same situation... Simply because we're so conditioned to the idea that middle-aged white women cannot be evil and bad with malicious intent and even when they obviously are, it's somehow not completely their own fault (like it would be considered to be if it was anyone else) and will be tolerated to no end, until someone really does get seriously hurt.
The sad truth is white women have immense social power over poc. Being nice is a tactic to avoid being labeled "aggressive" or "unapproachable", which are enough reasons for a Karen to call the cops and ruin lives. Blame the people in power for infantilizing white women, not the victims
The fact that this movie actually got greenlit and produced gives me hope that my film ideas/scripts actually have a chance

Several years ago, I read an article on an actor who had to portray a racist for a well known movie. He had a very hard time with the role, he researched as much as he could on to topic including looking up white supremacist websites. He just couldn’t wrap his mind around it as he said in the article he was raised to believe everyone is equal and attended schools with other students of all races.
After the film wrapped up, he attended the premiere and could barely sit through his own performance it made him SO uncomfortable. He said while playing the role, he would go into his trailer and cry because of the amount of disrespect he had to portray.
Inevitably he ended up in therapy, the role affected him so much. I believe he said after that he turned down any role where the character was portrayed as a racist. I really wish I could remember the actor or the film. I do remember it being profound and wildly popular even today. Reading the article really stuck with me because of the effect it had on the actor.

A lot of (dumb) people thought that they were actual racists outside of the movie, and an even dumber subset of that group thought that their characters were the heroes of the film.
It's weird watching a dude who watches a movie- that CLEARLY knows what it's doing and is doing it ALL on purpose- acting like "WHAT? Does this movie know what it's doing? It's so crazy it did that!"
It knows, Elvis... that's the point. It's an exploitation film.
Why would he even go inside her house to wash his hands? He literally lives next door..........
'Cuz that's where the white women at!
I think I might be able to explain why her hair doesn't get wet when it rains.
As we all know, pretty much everything organic is based on bonds between carbon and hydrogen. This woman is simply so repulsive to anything alive that said aura has started to extend _beyond_ living things so now everything even remotely connected to living beings, like the hydrogen found in water molecules, just bounces right off her.
so by extension even air, because it's like 70% nitrogen, and nitrogen is also another basic element for organic life. not to mention oxygen. that said, she shouldn't even be able to breathe because air would refuse to enter her trachea. if this is the case, a question gets spontaneously raised: *what do Karens breathe?*
Stupidity
🤣🤣🤣
@@waltercomunello121 Nah, she went to air's manager and threatened to call the cops.
I'm proud to be the 69th like of this comment, it's nuanced and scientifically theorizes the ridiculous nature behind a meme of a character named Karen
If you offered me a million dollars to make a preachier, less effective movie, I genuinely couldn't. I'd try, but I couldn't.
I would just pull out a camera and screen record this movie while pocketing the million dollars
I'd make it a horror movie
In Germany, you can have your first name changed for reasons like it's harmfull for your mental health or is related to a very known character with a very bad reputation. Karen would fit into the rules for officially changing your first name.
In the United States you can change your name if you want to, you don’t need a special reason.
Im sorry you need a reason in Germany? Here you just get it changed
This movie is one giant stereotype. The director has the creative ability of a 5 year old, and carries himself as if he's Michelangelo. If this isn't a sign of cultural decay I don't know what is.
So we're living in the darkest timeline.
Said perfectly
Name one historic playright iin the past 20 years and not becaule the color of his skin
@@Papagiorgio153 oh no i was agreeing with u. Oh and really dont watch many movies anymore cuz they r all so full of propaganda and agendas it takes away from the movie.
@@britt3795 I was responding to the guy above you lol
So basically just a dharman skit put together for a movie
10/10 I hope you have a great day
If it was a Dhar Man skit it would have SSSniper Wolf and that kid she creepilly hangs out with all the time show up and give the Karen a PS5 and then spill out a 20 minute backstory about how racism is bad because they had a hard life.
This is the worst timeline version of Dhar Man where instead of PS5s and a Tesla, instead we just get murder...
@@seventeenseventythirteen7465 and also dhar mann would be driving infront of a school for some reason
The actress just seems like a typical HOA board member tbh. You know who would have KILLED this role? Kathy Bates.
And I'm basing that solely on Kathy Bates' acting chops. Kathy Bates as a Karen? I would watch the shit outta that movie!
My god man, you just wrote the sequel! Quick, write a part for Nicolas Cage as the gay Jewish neighbor she also just seethingly hates.
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP!!!!!!......
well misery's annie wilkes was kind of a karen. this movie somehow made me think about misery
Yeah but if you associate the actress with her role...means she's doing a good job as an actress...just sucks she chose to use her talents for this
@@wastelandviking4547 My bad man, I didn't make my statement clear. The actress is playing the role as if the character was a standard HOA board member rather than playing the character as a raging 'Karen.'
But that could also just be the writing. No shade intended for the actor. I'm sure she could act circles around me!
this movie is like the BET version of a Lifetime movie. This Karen lady is so absurd ... the living embodiment of the antithesis of the cable channel. For Lifetime, Karen would be a Stockbroker Husband who has 15 mistresses and 20 unknown childern who has his wife chained and gagged in the basement for 45 years.
I'm curious, the "Karen" meme started because the first Karen was actually named Karen?
If so that lady did a huge disservice to all the women named Karen in the world.
nah, it's been a stereotype for a long time, there is no "first karen." the name just got popularized as a stereotypical white suburban mom name which fit the bill pretty well, and caught on as a name for it from there.
Redditors ruined the Karen meme within a matter of nanoseconds
Pretty sure it originated from Kate Gosselin who embodies the "Karen" personality and has the hair everyone associates with "Karens". Jon and Kate Plus 8 shows how crazy and abusive this woman can be towards her ex husband and family. Gotta love TLC 😅👌🏻
@@roriksteader pretty sure Karens ruined the Karen name.
The ""karen"" prototype pretty much lied in the stereotypical tumblr snowflake (same haircut, but the haircolor is red, and "it" keeps whining about insignificant garbage, lol). But then ppl thought it's such a great idea to popularise the middle aged blond type in 2020, while also dubbing it ""karen"". Which is fucking dumb and childish, because why fucking ""karen""???
The sad part is the overuse of the term "Karen". From defining someone unreasonable and rude, it's now used so broadly - people use it for people who stand up for themselves....
My friend got fast food, the fries were missing from the bag, so we went to the register to get the fries. People were actually calling her Karen for asking for what she payed for.....She wasn't rude mind you, but understanding that mistakes happen...
I'm so sorry your friend had to go through that.
I hope she got her fries.
😂😂😂
People can do that all the time. You can ask for the order that they missed. They’ll even be grateful that you told them instead of accepting whatever wrong order they gave you. So it’s normal and the ppl who called her a karen prolly have 5 yr old minds cause asking for your wrong order is a worldwide normal thing to do, or they were just joking. What’s the point taking jokes seriously in this generation? Ppl’s humors are so broken.
I’m not sure there’s really a “sad” part of the Karen meme lmao. Not trying to be an asshole but if being called a Karen is genuinely upsetting then you’re overreacting a tiny bit. Especially if you’re not being a public nuisance because if you get called a Karen for doing something completely normal then it’s most likely that they’re just referencing the meme as a joke. Internet culture doesn’t translate well to actual conversation so it comes off as an insult when it’s more likely just an ironic reference.
The only people who use Karen as a genuine insult are the same people who call people simps and say “cringe” whenever someone says something they don’t like. What I’m saying is either they’re joking or they are a joke so either way it really shouldn’t bother you.
Standing up for yourself makes other people upset and as far as insults go, Karen is pretty damn light lmao. My friends and I joke about being Karens all the time whenever we have to deal with shitty costumer service - lighten up a bit. It’s not a slur or anything lmao
Same with "okay boomer". It's just weaponized identity politics at an individual level. If I can label you, I can disregard every part of you even if you make a reasonable point that challenges an opinion that I have sanctified as part of my identity.
Fun fact: If you go back and watch "Lakeview Terrace" with Samuel L Jackson, which in my opinion is a really good movie and compare it to this one you will realize that they basically took that script and adapted it to this movie.
I was skeptical at first but as the review progresses I definitely see the similarities.
It's the same movie yes.
If he's not in it, he was in the thing before it. It's all illuminati cookie cutter rehashed plot machine garbage. They just want to claim the Karen persona before anyone else does, but people have commented that the character is more focused on racism than Karening everything in sight. It's a great idea for movie. A movie about a current day Karen. Who is the person who always steals trends but gets them all wrong which starts another trend based on their poorly constructed inaccuracies? Madonna? Or, I would say they Angelina'd this Karen movie.
The director clearly doesn't have a lick of originality when it comes to movie ideas .
That was actually based on a real cop who was harassing the whole neighborhood, not just the interracial couples, although he did call an interracial kid ugly to her face in front of the mom. And he also made sexual gestures to a child. The cops backed him a lot until that happened.
I remember seeing the trailer and somebody said "This movie is gonna be the first to make 0 tickets in the box office"
I genuinely thought this movie was a skit made for UA-cam. I went through the five stages of grief when watching this film.
I clicked faster than Elvis can say “this video is sponsored by…”
This should be a movie
no sense
The soap dispenser that the props department made with the Confederate flag on it made me lose it. As if everything else wasn't on the nose enough.
"THIS IS NOT MADE UP! WOMEN LIKE THIS ACTUALLY EXIST!"
Yes and no. There are some pretty terrible Karen's out there but this is checking off every single racist and Karen stereotype type off into one single character. Its kind of ridiculous actually...
Oh my god. Why is the ending literally the “Dear Sister” sketch, but played completely seriously?
complete with the cops randomly showing up and shooting each other as well
I was laughing so hard because I instantly remembered it
@@1lillbluepikmin MMMM THAT YOU ONLY MEANT WEEEEELL
This movie really should've been Monty-Pythonesque absurdism. It would've been much better that way.
Yes, but we can't have good things anymore 😕
Don't compare something as great and hilarious as Monty Python to this pile of garbage.
@@scr8846 I'm not comparing. I'm saying it would be better if the movie was a monty pythonesque absurdist film instead of a serious film. It would've worked as an actual comedy.
What’s with everyone tryina make Karens a rich white woman thing? Karenism knows neither creed, class, nor color. She just exists without carin’ whom she exists in.
karens are usually made out to be white woman
@@empatheticreator true but ive recently seen a black Karen in a video so both exist but more are white
@@empatheticreator Maxine Waters is a case for a black Karen
Karens are usually famous for being racist so it would make sense for them to be white and being rich probably makes them feel more important
Based on years working in retail...Karens come in every sex and gender too.
The guy with the trumpet at the end killed me😂 I was like wtf?
So let's see here.
-A man named Coke Daniels is the director. We I know that he definitely was snorting something when he came up with this film.
-The film is called Karen and it is about the Karen plague that is here right now! Not to mention that it ticked every Karen box out there and it still shit.
-I feel sorry for the actress who portrayed Karen. She is not getting anymore roles after this disaster of a film.
-Uncle Ruckus from the Boondocks will definitely be praising this film.
-I laughed my ass off when you showed the Karen going after a pig. I mean WTFH not even pigs are save. Holy Alien Gods!
Hastur be Sallow
This is beyond absurd!
XD
I assume the actress would get less work since she apparently made some bad posts or something... I think she delved into cospiracy, racism or... in that vein anyway
The actress is pretty racist herself from what I've seen
There needs to be an award show for cringe. I believe this may win.
Razzie awards prolly
Golden Raspberry Awards
or just the emmy's
I remember reading once the Leonardo DiCaprio was having a hard time on the set of Django with the amount of times he had to say the n word in the script. Apparently Samuel L Jackson pulled him aside and said “* this is just another day at work.” but he used some specific language I won’t repeat to cut the tension. Such a pro.
Samuel l jackson gave him the n word pass
That’s had me thinking about anytime I’ve seen an actor in a movie/tv show say it.. I wonder how uncomfortable it makes them. One example is in L&O: SVU when a teenage boy and his whole family were racists, and the boy - when arrested - said to Ice-T’s character “n*****s like you.” I was surprised that was part of the script cuz no one ever actually said the word before.
RIP to all the kind hearted and pure souled karens out there. Their names continue to be tarnished to this day by these clowns.
My grandma’s name is technically spelled “Karin” but she’s literally the sweetest person I’ve ever met. She’s a MASTER at sewing and baking. She loves donating hand-sewn blankets to homeless shelters, too. Be more like my grandma “Karin.” ☺️💖
This movie is like get out with all the racist themes but has Karen stereotypes also
Fs for the people named Karens who are actually nice people
F

Imagine comparing this to Get Out.
@@moodyinformed I mean, I get the comparison. It’s like if a toddler came up with the message that Get Out has and made a movie out of that, lol
The difference between this movie to like Get Out is literally night and day.
Like this movie feels like a lampoon on current events rather than a smart commentary. Literally in your face, dumbed down, "Mom can we watch Get Out? Honey we have Get Out at home. Get Out at home" level BS.
Could've did some interesting things with the sudden piqued interest Karen had with the husband but then again it would've been a watered down version of that one Beyoncé movie. This is an embarrassment and literally Captain Planet did a better job with racism than this movie.
Both are shit films
This isn't "Karen" movie, this is biopic of average Twitter user.
The duality of the horror genre. From masterpieces like Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds" and surprise hits like "A silent place", to... Whatever this garbage is.
Political propaganda
Definitely political garbage
@@iHaveTheDocuments Imagine thinking that most people need to be told that racism is bad.
@@VagabondRetro
You’d be surprised
@@kingofthebis1068 Fair enough. I guess I should have specified none stupid people. I live in rural Oklahoma and most people are not racist, but you can drive out into the most rural areas and still find some nooses next to a klan yahoo's house.
The guy at the party mentioning that it's funny how this Karen's name is Karen got me physically cringing. It's just the movie stating that it thinks itself is funny.
it’s funny to the extent of “heh” & that’s about it 😐
The writers who gave the character that name, made the other one say, they thought this concept was funny.
Just patting themselves on the back for the cringiest shit. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I love how Karen went onto HIS property and was like DoNt StEaL fRoM mE
Like bro-? You good? You the one crawling out the crevices of nowhere.
For people of a certain age, Karen will always be “a spoiled, shrill, gold-digging socialite who would sooner chew off her own foot than do an honest days work.”
The sad thing is that despite how cringe this movie is, all the things Karen said in this movie has been said to me unironically. And if you aren't nice to them you have an "attitude"
Most of what she says is true so🤷🏾♂️
Just today I had a woman come in 30 minutes before we opened by walking in behind a coworker. I told her we don't open for another 30 minutes and she started insulting me to which a regional manager named Karen literally told her, word for word by the way, "Stop being such a Karen.". I laughed so hard at that and because several other things happened. The tombstone that said she asked the manager for the manager? Yeah that happened she asked the regional manager for the manager. She threatened to call the police for not serving her 30 minutes before we are even open. There was more but I laughed so hard I didn't hear it all and I nearly crapped my pants laughing in the back trying and failing to get a garbage bag because my body was seizing up from laughing. My side still hurts.
I mean the other manager that was there literally chuckled and said "What the hell is super manager?" because the woman asked for the super manager after the RM told her she was the RM.
The most unrealistic thing in this movie is the idea that anyone sane would be part of an HOA
the sense of entitlement in some people... feeling entitled to all the wrong things.
I am sorry that happened to you ❤️
Can`t wait for the sequels "Karen Episode II Attack of the Lawyers" and "Karen Episode III Revenge of the Ex-Husband"!
I would gladly write a screenplay for Karen III where her ex husband and stepfather to her children, Mike, comes back to town in his punisher-sticker laden Toyota Tacoma to get his jet ski back out of Karen's garage.
My mom is the best woman I know. She changes kid's lives everyday through her teaching, giving them a supporive adult when they don't have one. She loves and does everything for her family, often resulting in her sacrificing herself. She's beautiful, kind, funny, and truly an angel (And I'm an atheist lol). Her name is Karen, and was bullied for it on social media to the point she had to change her email and username.
F to all the kind Karens. I love you mom. 💖

Your mom is awesome! Never stop telling her that.
Your mom amazing
I love you too, kittyMADNESS_o6 StarKitten12's Mom!!! Lol.
Why does it matter that your an atheist is it against the atheist code to mention anything that relates to religion
@@THEWARDEN809 Atheists don't believe in angels.
