Teenage girls are always the same, they’re just having fun! making God mode OCs like every other kid, but especially ones pop stars fall in love with (when I was a teen I was more about video game characters though)
The janitor is a child actor/teen heartthrob from the 70s named Leif Garrett so the whole thing really wouldn't have surprised him at all. Might have been why the whole scene was kinda weird to begin with.
Also kinda contradicts the storyline that he was only being held back by being a bad test-taker. He could have taken tests as comfortably as he wanted at home. I think they were just kinda throwing out whatever.
@@Dradeeus also, most stage parents would be quick to have their kid be prescribed meds to either increase "study ability" or calm them down fast to take a test. or hire someone to do their schoolwork and tests in their stead. they're their meal-ticket after all.. but then we wouldn't have this bizarre fanfic-esque movie, so
Let's be real. Most homeschool kids are failing homeschool haha. Put them in a classroom and they are soooo behind. At my high school we had a couple kids like that and they didn't know anything we were learning. It's not their fault either its just most parents aren't qualified to adequately teach multiple different subjects
To answer your question about the allowed attire of public school students: No, students in public high schools were absolutely NOT allowed to be 30 years old.
I laughed at the gum joke because when he takes out his Samsung flip phone it says "Erase ? Debbie" and i thought of it as a death note and he was erasing her from existence for swallowing the gum.
yeah it's that trusty late 90s early 00s trope of 'conventionally attractive girl + glasses/braces = nerd' it never works and it's hilarious every time
I can't wait to rewatch a couple other old Brutalmoose videos after this because they tend to be released far enough apart to not be repetitive and always hold up. I can't just watch one with this guy.
The janitor was Leif Garrett who was a pop star in the 70's and fell hard. His manager was David Cassidy, pop star from the 60's, also fell hard. I think they forshadowed the fall of Carter in this movie.
I was born in 88, so my childhood was mostly 90’s to early 2000’s, but I distinctly remember thinking the “it’s bad to be smart” thing in all movies to be very weird and forced.
I distinctly remember all the popular kids being on the smarter side while all the uncool kids were thought to be dummies. At least thats how it was in middle school
Yeah this sort of culture seemed to have died out by the early 2000s, at least in mainstream media. It's still pretty common in working class communities though; Anti-intellectualism is big problem for the lot of the world.
You get bullied not necessarily for being smart, but just not being shallow enough. I remember in my school if you weren't wearing brand name clothes you were basically worthless.
"Nerds wear glasses-" Was it the closeup shot of his glasses that punctuated this joke? No. It was the copy of Myst in the background that REALLY sold it.
I don't know why, but my child brain was CONVINCED that Aaron Carter literally just turned into Jesse McCartney as he got older. Not that he like changed his name or something, no, this kid MORPHED INTO JESSE MCCARTNEY IN MY BRAIN.

Wait, so the dude's mom is pulling him out of homeschooling and sending him to public school... because he's failing? Somehow?? How the heck do you flunk out of _homeschooling,_ it's literally personalized one-on-one education?? And the solution is to instead toss him into the broken-ass one-size-fits-all system of American public school where the kids who struggle with the material fall behind and require extra help/tutoring after hours _anyway._ Seems like a bit of a lateral move to me. They should've just said they were sending him to public school because he needs to learn some humility and remember how to be a normal kid, because that's clearly what the real problem is.
Exactly what I was thinking, dude. How can you do so bad that you fail home schooling? That doesn't even make sense. Yeah, I agree, just sending him to public school because he's an out of touch pop star sounds like a much better premise for this boring, generic rom-com story. Sounds like you've written a much better version of this poorly written story, dude. Nice one.
Lmao maybe public school is more structured? Idk I was homeschooled and I learned nothing because my mom was not at all qualified to teach. The one time I was in a classroom environment in high school, I excelled because I had structure there and actually had some expectations to hold up. I always aced on my report card, did extra credit work, and had perfect attendance. But when I was being schooled at home, I was left to my own devices and couldn't get through a single day without bullshitting through everything.
@@cassette_tape lol that's my experience as well (minus the perfect attendance.) I was homeschooled for ten years with little supervision. I spent most of my days playing flash games online. As soon as I went to public school, I got all As and went to college on a full merit scholarship. I needed the structure of public school to succeed. (But my public school was terrible, not gonna lie.)
I'm pretty sure that's not how homeschooling works. I don't think it's exactly "learn whatever you want", since I think you still have to follow the state curriculum.
I would never have guessed when I first watched this video that Carter’s death would be so soon I was by no means a fan or anything, it’s just surprising and sad
I can't stop watching this review of Pop Star. This is like the fourth time I've watched it in maybe two days. Everything about this is perfect. Ian's laugh is infectious, the movie is _delightful_ and Mr. Carter's acting is... well, it's just perfect. This is a great video!
Ok so this is my all time favorite Brutalmoose episode and i'm not really sure why. His jokes, him editing himself in scenes, the "I'm about to have MY period" and "Holy shit is that a dolphin?!" get me literally every time
No, you DEFINITELY could not wear outfits like that in public school. We had a "no spaghetti strap top" rule, and all shorts had to be at least as long as the tips of our longest fingers Didn't want to distract any Professor Perverts!
@@rissehx3 Guess we went to different types of places because the dress code was broken and I only knew of one person who ever actually got in trouble for it
I went to high school in the late 1990s… yes yes you could wear this stuff. I saw cheeks hanging out of short shorts and plenty of spaghetti straps and midriff. (Edit: it was a particular clique and the vast majority of us were covered up) But seniors could also leave the school for lunch and we had a lot more freedom in general.
I would have thought she was giving me the number to the car repair/rescue company. XD The peeps you call when you're stuck on the motor/highway. I dunno who America has.
Mean girl: Gives her number to J.D. so he would know she's interested. Jane (the nice girl): Steals his stuff, probably so she can sniff it. Something seems a little backwards here.
I just love the way Ian always edits his videos. Not only does it add a charm to the videos, but it makes his riffs 10x funnier. The riffing he does is always spot on too.
@@Connection-Lost not a highschool themed show, but I CANT take the actors in the show Super Store! There all late 30s playing barely out of highschool age super store employees. The worst part about it is the older actors play the YOUNGER characters! I think the one that's saposed to be 17 ish is almost 40!!!
@@charles67198 super store? Most of the characters are supposed to be in their late 20's; for example the protagonist character (not actor) is 28 . The Ugly Betty girl is in her 30's. None of them are supposed to be just out of high school except the pregnant teen girl which is probably why she's asian.
@@Connection-Lost In Grease all the characters were played by people in their 30's except for John Travolta and one of the girls; but even they were 25 and like 28. Olivia Netwon John was 30 lol.
I am writing this just hours after Aaron Carter's death (November 5, 2022). Honestly this video is the only thing I know about him, but I always feel sympathy knowing someone has passed on. I may not be a fan, but I have to give him some form of tribute for providing me with a little amusement, even though it wasn't completely intentional.
@@galatron510 That's the line between nouveau riche and wealthy though. Nouveau riche flex with the overpriced designer label stuff that's ugly. The wealthy go with classy and bespoke.
Aaron's Party was the defining album of it's time. The skit in which Aaron pulls up to a drive-through on a motorbike and tries to order a 'cheeseburger, but without the cheese' is the height of comedy, and his forte was always music. Absolute genius.
I was really into Aaron Carter as a kid and I remember going to McDonald's with my fucking grandmother and doing this exact dumb shit and thinking it was so funny
My blood literally boiled when there wasn't a single Lightning McQueen reference in the entire video. For gods sake man you even said "A theme of Cars" and "McQueen" in the same sentence. Still love you
Speaking of "what is Aaron Carter up to now?", Wikipedia says: > In March 2020, Carter set up an OnlyFans account, [...] charging $50 to $100 per nude photo.
... I don't understand people and these sorts of sites. But then I find bodies without clothes wierd and uncomfortable to look at. Faces, hands, arms, fine, but all the vital-organ-holding bits....!
28:30 I do like how the movie was respectful to those who require alternate accommodations for tests and exams. I used to work in a college and I'd proctor these kinds of exams for students. Though, the strangest exam I ever proctored was for a student in an interrogation cell in a police department.
well, boy howdy, i hope that student wasn't like...wanted for murder bc tbh the type of person who both insists on taking a college exam while being questioned by police has to be at least a little cool.
@@kenirainseeker539 yeah if they have accommodations on their IEP or 504 for it, or if a teacher decides to go out of their way to help them. I was allowed to take tests in different environments at one point, even though I never really used it. usually it's not on stage in the auditorium lol, but I don't see why not if that's the best testing environment.
@@kimberlys8422 I was much younger than that when he made his guest appearance on Lizzie McGuire. Maybe just started kindergarten. All the boys like watching the show, but I remember one kid describing Aaron Carter as "SH!!ty Noise" This kid was 6 years old.
12:11 actual genius writing. This makes him look even *less* suspicious, because a brainless fictional pop star having a shrine to himself is completely believable and the janitor didn't even think twice
33:07 toe to the front door is an old trope. tying a string to the doorknob, anchored around a heavy structure, and tied to your toe means you could fall asleep in the same room as the front door waiting for someone to come home and the act of opening the door would theoretically pull your toe so hard you would immediately wake up and ask where and who they've been with, and also force the gentlemen who came home with your daughter to wish her goodnight instead of coming in. normally the trope in the 50s household is if your parents are concerned they'll stay awake until you come home from the date. so this is the lazier evolution of the outdated parental form of contraceptive. what doesn't help this scene is they don't follow up showing the device in context to show what it's for, which makes it look extremely confusing if you didn't already get the idea. the only canon thing this establishes is that the dad extremely concerned his daughter is having sex out of wedlock.
So if the daughter came in through the backdoor, like some teens would, then all this explanation is pointless because she'd get around getting scolded or grounded.
The biggest joke is thinking the industry would care if a kid pop star failed at school to the point that they'd just stop exploiting him when he's still very much profitable
This movie is basically the story of a parasocial relationship becoming an actual relationship. Which is one of many reasons it's super inappropriate :D
In general, you were not allowed to wear those types of clothing that the “popular” girls were wearing. They would either send you back to to put something else on or give u something to wear from the Lost & Found.
That's how you know you've matured--when you watch this movie and long for the 'teen' girl students to at least tie a long baggy shirt on over their tube top or around their waist. Young women should of course have some autonomy of style and shouldn't be shamed for their outfits, but still it's not appropriate or respectful for underage girls go to school dressed the same as 22 year olds with everything hanging out in the club.
Today is a fortuitous day. Ian climbed up the mountain in search of something great, now he has returned with a video talking about Aaron Carter. Truly worthwhile endeavour. Thank you Ian.

Oh look, it’s the “conventionally attractive white girl has a token black sidekick who tells her to cast off her nerdiness and go for it!“ trope. Here to visit us from the magical realm of hallmark movies.
Its my favorite thing when a movie acts like its being socially minded by telling people to not judge and let people live how they want, when the person that shouldn't be judged is an 8/10 white girl with glasses or a 9/10 washboard meathead whose only flaw is liking to sing.
@@stitchfinger7678 “Don’t judge a book by its cover” can end up being a hurtful message if all you’re doing is reinforcing the notion that certain traits are in fact undesirable and need to be ripped off in order for a person to have value. By movie logic, beauty is all that matters and as long as you have that, you can just give in to harmful standards and erase all the parts of you that society says are bad. Ugly people are sol though.
I laughed out loud several times watching this, the editing was genius as usual. Especially at the grooming comment and the perfect use of “I’m a popstar.” This is quality content, Ian. And everybody loves a montage (in my Team America voice).
The most baffling moment so far: JD offering to put the AUTOMATIC car in gear, so reaching over to take it out of drive, put it in park and then put it back in drive

I would never have guessed when I first watched this video that Carter’s death would be so soon
I was by no means a fan or anything, it’s just surprising and sad
I cant seem to shake the fact that Jane looks like she’s 35 playing a teenage highschooler
That just seems to be a common thing in American shows/movies, they always look much older
@@joshleafjl1 at least back then. These days, movies are getting better with that, but then it was pretty rare for a teen to actually play a teenager.
@@chibigoth7441 in the show On my Block (on Netflix) the kids are supposed to be freshman in high school but one of the actresses is 36 years old lol
It’s magical
No she doesn't
The actress who played Jane was in an episode of Sister Sister as a character named Beth. I wonder if that’s why Ian associates her with that name?
Either a subconscious memory or Sister Sister's producers also thought she looked like a Beth.
Makes sense
this is quality fandom 🙌
Who remembers that lolol. To be fair, I have watched Friends and Frasier qay too much and could probably remember a one time cast member.
Thanks, now I want to rewatch Sister Sister.
Rip Aaron Carter. This video was the first thing I thought of when I heard the news
Likewise
Me too rip
Congrats to the out-of-touch 50-year-olds that wrote their first movie.
"Holy shit, I'm about to have MY period." - Ian "Aaron Carter's #1 Fan" Brutalmoose, 2021
Oh look it's The Cheat! I was scrolling through the comments and saw your pfp.
I can't stop watching this review of Pop Star. This is like the fourth time I've watched it in maybe two days. Everything about this is perfect. Ian's laugh is infectious, the movie is _delightful_ and Mr. Carter's acting is... well, it's just perfect. This is a great video!
The only thing you can say about his acting is... he's a popstar
It's perfect
"Bitch got Opraha-d" That line fucking KILLEED ME Lmaaoooo
Yeah that was gold!🤣🤣🤣
Aaron Carter constantly looks he has a gun pointed to his head, which may be true in a metaphorical sense.
Now I’m imagining the entire thing being filmed with him having a sniper trained on him and it’s making me cackle
I’m a POPstar! _pls help me_
Lou Pearlman, exec producer.
Ok so this is my all time favorite Brutalmoose episode and i'm not really sure why. His jokes, him editing himself in scenes, the "I'm about to have MY period" and "Holy shit is that a dolphin?!" get me literally every time
The "IS THAT A FUCKING DOLPHIN?!" made me spit out my drink.
No, you DEFINITELY could not wear outfits like that in public school. We had a "no spaghetti strap top" rule, and all shorts had to be at least as long as the tips of our longest fingers
Didn't want to distract any Professor Perverts!
You weren't supposed to, but some people did anyway.
@@piperformerlycassette my brother got sent to the principal for wearing a BILLABONG brand shirt. they asked him to cover the part that said BONG
@@rissehx3 Guess we went to different types of places because the dress code was broken and I only knew of one person who ever actually got in trouble for it
I went to high school in the late 1990s… yes yes you could wear this stuff. I saw cheeks hanging out of short shorts and plenty of spaghetti straps and midriff. (Edit: it was a particular clique and the vast majority of us were covered up) But seniors could also leave the school for lunch and we had a lot more freedom in general.
@@Anwelei Nobody at my (public) school could leave during the day at all, they'd literally lock the doors
She played a Beth in Sister Sister. You unlocked a memory that you didn’t know you had.
"Small battery?" Fucking GOLD.
I think he honestly thought she was talking about batteries.
That was the only good intentional joke
Small... something, yeah. Maybe not the smartest move when you're trying to pick up a guy.
Honesty the camera angle when she’s writing AA doesn’t help either
I would have thought she was giving me the number to the car repair/rescue company. XD The peeps you call when you're stuck on the motor/highway. I dunno who America has.
Mean girl: Gives her number to J.D. so he would know she's interested.
Jane (the nice girl): Steals his stuff, probably so she can sniff it.
Something seems a little backwards here.
Fanfiction logic at work.
I just love the way Ian always edits his videos. Not only does it add a charm to the videos, but it makes his riffs 10x funnier. The riffing he does is always spot on too.
This is absolutely the most egregious 'adult plays a teen' role ever. It's so bad it feels like it's the lead into a madTV sketch. Holy shit.
Pretty white kids, pretty white kids with problems.
In "I Love You Beth Cooper" (2009) the main protagonist is a senior in high school, played by a guy who was 28 at the time. It's pretty bad.
@@Connection-Lost not a highschool themed show, but I CANT take the actors in the show Super Store! There all late 30s playing barely out of highschool age super store employees. The worst part about it is the older actors play the YOUNGER characters! I think the one that's saposed to be 17 ish is almost 40!!!
@@charles67198 super store? Most of the characters are supposed to be in their late 20's; for example the protagonist character (not actor) is 28 . The Ugly Betty girl is in her 30's. None of them are supposed to be just out of high school except the pregnant teen girl which is probably why she's asian.
@@Connection-Lost In Grease all the characters were played by people in their 30's except for John Travolta and one of the girls; but even they were 25 and like 28. Olivia Netwon John was 30 lol.
Damn thats fucking sad.
Dude actually was a pop star and then his big movie debut was a direct to VHS on a disney channel budget.
And now he's Roxas
@@557deadpool I can’t tell if that’s sarcasm, but Jesse McCartney voices Roxas
To be fair they had an incredibly short time to capitalize off him. He was a thing for what, 5 days?
Wait, this WASN'T a Disney Channel movie???
@@557deadpool He also was performing at my local pride festival.
I am writing this just hours after Aaron Carter's death (November 5, 2022). Honestly this video is the only thing I know about him, but I always feel sympathy knowing someone has passed on. I may not be a fan, but I have to give him some form of tribute for providing me with a little amusement, even though it wasn't completely intentional.
I don't even care what he is talking about its so good to hear from the moose again
“He drives this dope ass Mercedes Benz that looks like crap” made me bust a lung for some reason
To be fair the G wagon does look like crap, never understood why rich people find it so attractive
being rich makes you like ugly shit as long as it has a high price tag, expensive brand name and exclusivity
@@galatron510 That's the line between nouveau riche and wealthy though. Nouveau riche flex with the overpriced designer label stuff that's ugly. The wealthy go with classy and bespoke.
@@NeighborSenpai I find it attractive because of the utilitarian shape but then the price and luxury features ruin it for me.

Aaron's Party was the defining album of it's time. The skit in which Aaron pulls up to a drive-through on a motorbike and tries to order a 'cheeseburger, but without the cheese' is the height of comedy, and his forte was always music. Absolute genius.
I was really into Aaron Carter as a kid and I remember going to McDonald's with my fucking grandmother and doing this exact dumb shit and thinking it was so funny
Hes like the lovechild of Eminem and Linus Tech Tips
🤣👌
Let's make this a top comment.
Ian or Aaron
@@highdefinition450 Aaron clearly
You might be the first person to ever say that sentence, congrats
I love the “small battery” joke.
It’s so stupid; it’s funny.
My blood literally boiled when there wasn't a single Lightning McQueen reference in the entire video. For gods sake man you even said "A theme of Cars" and "McQueen" in the same sentence. Still love you
Well he also thought crystal Pepsi was water even tho he edited it for Aaron to say it twice.
how could this movie have a refference to lightning mcqueen when it came out a full year before the first cars movie was released though?
@@ix8750 No I meant Ian making a lightning McQueen reference in the video, not the movie. Sorry lol my wording was a bit ambiguous
@@nefnasty2 wasn't it crystal glacier?

"I'm a Popstar"
... I don't understand people and these sorts of sites. But then I find bodies without clothes wierd and uncomfortable to look at. Faces, hands, arms, fine, but all the vital-organ-holding bits....!
Not this stupid site again
@Roadent1241 you don't understand erotic photos?
Let him do his thing. We don't shame sex workers here
28:30 I do like how the movie was respectful to those who require alternate accommodations for tests and exams. I used to work in a college and I'd proctor these kinds of exams for students. Though, the strangest exam I ever proctored was for a student in an interrogation cell in a police department.
well, boy howdy, i hope that student wasn't like...wanted for murder bc tbh the type of person who both insists on taking a college exam while being questioned by police has to be at least a little cool.
Hopefully it's more that and less him just getting special treatment for being famous. Like, do any of the other students get to do this?
@@kenirainseeker539 yeah if they have accommodations on their IEP or 504 for it, or if a teacher decides to go out of their way to help them. I was allowed to take tests in different environments at one point, even though I never really used it. usually it's not on stage in the auditorium lol, but I don't see why not if that's the best testing environment.

This kid was 6 years old.
Yeah I remember that too, I was like 5 when it came out but I do remember seeing the reruns
@@whoknowswhocares885 He was just repeating what he heard his parents or older brother say.
it took me 25 minutes to realize that those popstar cd cases weren't edited in and Ian just hung those cds to the ceiling
12:11 actual genius writing. This makes him look even *less* suspicious, because a brainless fictional pop star having a shrine to himself is completely believable and the janitor didn't even think twice
Alana Austin was 23 in this movie and she definitely looks it, what a terrible casting choice for a high schooler
I was gonna say "is she supposed to be a grad student? Young teacher?"

33:07 toe to the front door is an old trope. tying a string to the doorknob, anchored around a heavy structure, and tied to your toe means you could fall asleep in the same room as the front door waiting for someone to come home and the act of opening the door would theoretically pull your toe so hard you would immediately wake up and ask where and who they've been with, and also force the gentlemen who came home with your daughter to wish her goodnight instead of coming in. normally the trope in the 50s household is if your parents are concerned they'll stay awake until you come home from the date. so this is the lazier evolution of the outdated parental form of contraceptive. what doesn't help this scene is they don't follow up showing the device in context to show what it's for, which makes it look extremely confusing if you didn't already get the idea. the only canon thing this establishes is that the dad extremely concerned his daughter is having sex out of wedlock.
So if the daughter came in through the backdoor, like some teens would, then all this explanation is pointless because she'd get around getting scolded or grounded.
misogyny is fucking wild i guess
The biggest joke is thinking the industry would care if a kid pop star failed at school to the point that they'd just stop exploiting him when he's still very much profitable
“I know everything about him but I don’t actually know him and never even seen him”- Jane the stalker
Pretty much what every tween boyband fan thinks
Pretty much the only detail in this movie that seems accurate.
The fact that she didn't say 'never even seen him IN PERSON' makes this line even more awkward
@@kenirainseeker539 Pretty much what any kpop fan thinks about anything
This movie is basically the story of a parasocial relationship becoming an actual relationship. Which is one of many reasons it's super inappropriate :D

You are the only youtuber who would talk about the DVD menu and the previews during a movie review, I love it.
In general, you were not allowed to wear those types of clothing that the “popular” girls were wearing. They would either send you back to to put something else on or give u something to wear from the Lost & Found.
That's how you know you've matured--when you watch this movie and long for the 'teen' girl students to at least tie a long baggy shirt on over their tube top or around their waist. Young women should of course have some autonomy of style and shouldn't be shamed for their outfits, but still it's not appropriate or respectful for underage girls go to school dressed the same as 22 year olds with everything hanging out in the club.
I never realized how godawful Aaron's speaking voice is jeeeez
he sounds like 2005 smelled
In current interviews he sounds nearly exactly the same, it is wild and it is bad

Today is a fortuitous day. Ian climbed up the mountain in search of something great, now he has returned with a video talking about Aaron Carter. Truly worthwhile endeavour. Thank you Ian.

I’m surprised that the meme of “you get a car” isn’t used more often in context of a scam, when people make the joke. I’m surprised I haven’t seen many more people criticizing Oprah for doing such a thing you’d think that would have been a huge scandal
It’s shockingly true how a “brand new car” is a terrible reward and giving them away is even worse

Oh look, it’s the “conventionally attractive white girl has a token black sidekick who tells her to cast off her nerdiness and go for it!“ trope. Here to visit us from the magical realm of hallmark movies.
Its my favorite thing when a movie acts like its being socially minded by telling people to not judge and let people live how they want, when the person that shouldn't be judged is an 8/10 white girl with glasses or a 9/10 washboard meathead whose only flaw is liking to sing.
The fact that the actress who plays Jane's friend is so much better looking than Jane is nothing short of jarring.
You know that's not true. There are no black people in Hallmark movies.
@@stitchfinger7678 “Don’t judge a book by its cover” can end up being a hurtful message if all you’re doing is reinforcing the notion that certain traits are in fact undesirable and need to be ripped off in order for a person to have value.
