Why lie… Nicolas, you said you were a minion in church for Halloween now all of a sudden your some type of a police ninja? Apologize to all of the gormites for lieing in gormus faith and going on with preaching with such a sinful burden on your character to the covenant, SHAME!
It's A - kun video
How much do I have to pay you to throw your phone without the case /j
Really dude? A Halloween video on the same day I post mine? Grow up.
oh hi ethan
Block him. You don’t need this nonsense in your life.
@@Ghost_Token period 💅🏼
gormu is not gonna like this
You haven't even posted yours yet!
as someone who works in a real life escape room, the movie escape room has done so much harm to the business. everyone comes in expecting a life or death game, when in reality it's just a series of logic puzzles. it makes people leave nasty reviews. what did you expect? did you come here wanting to die? that's not what we do here. imagine the lawsuits.
That's so funny, I mean obviously not the harm to the business but the fact that people expect a life or death game? Humans are so wacky
I had plans to watch my loved ones die, but I GUESS I'll just do some logic puzzles instead..0/5 I wanted to be scarred for life and maybe die
are you serious? i can’t believe people are really so stupid. we have gone too far
I also work at an escape room! Honestly i feel like we've had the opposite experience though- its actually been really good for business. A lot of people come to play based on seeing the sensationalized movies and, while its not *that* kind of experience, they still have a really good time! Honestly i dont think ive ever interacted with a player who was upset that it wasnt like the movies (most who ask if they're like the movies are actually relieved to find out theyre not lol). Although i will say its kinda funny that people think its even possible for us to do something like that, "imagine the lawsuits" is right 💀. I say all this not to dismiss your experience, just sharing an opposite perspective!
couldn't you feasibly get away with it by having them sign a wrongful death lawsuit waiver? I obviously don't know specifics, so I could be wrong.
Movies that don’t coddle you with happy endings are the best kind of movie. In the most beautiful of films, the protagonist dies, whether it be literal or emotional. That is the best and most respectful way that movie could’ve ended in my opinion. Same goes for truth or dare, they want to stay alive enough to sacrifice hundreds or thousands of other people. This might have been the only way to get out of this situation without just letting the game die with you, and almost anybody would choose the deaths of others over the deaths of themselves. I think this ending is a good representation of what the audience would probably do in this situation, so this is the best way the movie could’ve ended because the only alternative is killing every character.
Well aren't you a ray of sunshine.
This probably explains why my favourite movie has the couple forced to break up lol
The angle makes Nick look really tiny. Short little SWAT man.
I'm never one to tell a UA-camr that they *have* to do something, but you HAVE to watch Ready or Not, it's so good!!
Ready or not was bomb af!
Would you rather is such a funny movie to me because I watched it with my cousin. If we watch a movie together a scary movie can not be scary. We say too many dumb jokes. So some context, I had recently got three stepsisters.
So towards the end of the movie, first of all, I turned to him and said "Wouldn't it be funny if when she went home her brother had killed himself so she did that all for nothing?" And then it happened 😭😭😭
Also when he's trying to convince the MC to not shoot him he goes "Please I have three sisters" and then she basically immediately shoots him and I went "She was just putting him out of his misery, I would know."
Escape Room is horrible for the sole reason that they killed off muscle mommy
Slaying with that costume
the other truth or dare (older one) seems to have been significantly better
hahaha loved this video concept also pleasantly surprised you didn't break your back and it was just tape lol
Love the pistachio commentary!
nick is so chaotic hahahahah
Wish I had money to buy myself one of those cases
fr tho im so upset that murder mystery's are now forever tainted with amoug us ;_;
i can never look at cluedo the same again and thats so annoying
Someone lend Nick the arm 😂
Man didn't even have a black t shirt? Bruh
Nick, this video is incredible. It's hilarious and you seem really in your element.
Yooo I watched this so soon
nick… the reason the rich guy in would you rather threw the pistachio shells on the couch is bc hes an asshole and he couldnt be bothered to reach for the pistachio shell bowl or the trash and would rather leave a mess that someone else has to clean up. the whole movie is about classism and the way rich people will play with the lives of poor people for entertainment. he “helps” poor people through their financial struggles by making them literally fight for their lives. you think he’d actually bother to put his pistachio shells on the table? he doesnt give a shit abt anyone but himself. thats the whole point.
The costume is sending me like the hat barely fits on ur head and the top is completely ripped because it doesnt fit ☠
Damn man ready or not was actually good
Ready or Not was actually a pretty great time. It didn't take itself too seriously when it had to and I think the main character acted like a proper person, and not a reactionary plot vehicle.
Yeah, isn't it classed as a Horror Comedy?
I really liked it. I liked all these films. 🤷♂️ Lol
it's one of my favourite recent horror films to come out. it's so much fun
If you liked Ready or Not you will like You're Next
Its the same type of actually competent female protag
Yeah it was so good
I dont agree with would you rather. That ending was brilliant. The whole time she went through all of the trauma to save him when he didn't want to be saved. It would be cliche to have her win and money and not have any consequences for harming others. I think it was the perfect ending that's more realistic
Yeah its stupid for horror movies to have a good ending
I also feel like it's a commentary on how she basically sold her soul for no reason.
At least Truth or Dare has a fun twist on the "final girl" trope. Not a lot of women survive horror movies by throwing everyone in the entire world under the bus to save themselves.
Cabin in the woods maybe? I haven’t seen it in a while so it might not fit
@@anonomooose cabin in the woods wasn't her throwing the entire world under the bus to save herself, but in refusal to kill her friend. basically, if saving the world meant killing an innocent person, then the world isn't really worth saving.
i really loved ready or not, it was really funny but also had a good ending, she was a great actress and did really well, it wasn’t ‘scary’ but there was a few on edge moments, i personally LOVED this movie and watched it like 3 times and i usually don’t watch movies more than once!
Same :D
Same!!! omg bro
i'm actually thinking i should watch this, because you said it wasn't that scary. i'm not a big fan of scary movies, so i was put off at first
I looked it up and she's Hugo Weaving's niece. Greatness runs in the family.
The Pistachios are a metaphor for how the guy is so rich that he does whatever he wants with no consequences, it’s foreshadowing
I agree definitely foreshadowing that he's a f****** psychopath.
obviously
There’s nothing “rich” about throwing trash on your couch. They could’ve showed it in many other ways. Like spilling something on a very obviously rich looking piece of fabric, then throwing it away.
@@vampsirski4843 that’s pretty much exactly how it does it
@@vampsirski4843 just say you don’t understand metaphors, lil bro. the whole point is that he’s so rich and powerful that no one’s gonna check him about doing something clearly disrespectful and rude on someone else’s furniture
hey since these videos are scripted would it be possible for you to post closed captions for them? that's something that really goes a long way to making your content more accessible and you seem like someone who cares about inclusivity xoxo!!!
Hot take: Would You Rather is actually a pretty smart commentary on class struggles. I’m not gonna pretend it’s the best movie but the way the rich aristocrats have all this power over these struggling lower class people is a huge part of its purpose. And then her brother being dead at the end is definitely unsatisfying but it serves its own purpose there.
Absolutely, it's a really good film. So is Ready or Not imo, AND all the Escape Room films. :D
Yeah... Felt like Nick was a bit hard on that one (especially considering he didn't watch it). Also comparing it unfairly to SG when the movie came out BEFORE SG is like... A bit uncharitable. Maybe that was the joke? It's funny because it's a bad comparison?
@@barnabykane4515 yea Nick tends to have very rash ideas about things that he really doesn’t know a lot about. he even admits not having seen it, so he ends up looking a little silly.
I remember back to when he was roasting Dax and Kristen Bell for their parenting habits that are perfectly okay and normal for the age of child they had. Another instance of not knowing what he’s talking about but making a vid about it. He actually ended up saying some weird “blood drinking” anti jew stereotypes in that vid
there are tons of other movies that do it better. the hunger games does it better.
@@hm-fy5iz Yeah, like I said it’s not the best but I think it’s still good. Definitely better than Nick made it seem lol
the man who puts his pistachios on the couch is just so rich that he throws out the couch with the pistachio shells and buys a new couch. couches are disposable to him. that’s his current pistachio shell couch. that’s the only reasonable answer.
ready or not was one of the like "horror" esque movies ive watched and i really enjoyed it. love the final girl trope too
I think this is just a specific case of "something that should be comforting is suddenly scary."
They're in the same boat as horror movies about creepy dolls, clowns, children, caretakers, etc. Part of the horror comes from the expectation that you should be able to trust/let your guard down and then that expectation is not followed.
I feel like putting the shells back into the same bowls as the pistachios is a clear indication of how unhinged someone is
... I do that
@@abcdefgh6951 Shell eater /lmao
@@abcdefgh6951 Case in point.
Obviously they're nuts. On an unrelated note, I agree.
That was kinda the point though. He doesn't care. The couch seat was on the side of the hand the shells would be in when he's done eating them, and turning slightly or switching hands was too much effort for someone who never has to think about cleaning to worry about.
Nick, You ARE so perfect, and there IS nothing wrong with you. I think your costume is great, it looked like it was maybe intended to be worn by a 12 year old, which makes it even better
I'll be honest this is one of my favorite genres and I've seen almost all the movies you mentioned, most of them are pretty bad but I'll watch all of them bc my standards for horror are so low lmao. Maybe the Hunger Games influenced my taste for death-game-style ensemble movies, who knows
I thought all the movies mentioned were good. Horror movies are just a bit of fun. Plus who cares if you like the hunger games? Like what you like, don't feel bad. Own it.
All of this!
I absolutely love escape room!! they actually had no clue they'd actually die, only until the first guy dies do they realize its life and death! they had no idea only one person could survive! or even that it was life or death 😭😭 definitely both movies are my favorites!
it was so fun trying to figure out the puzzles with the characters and I really did care about all of them in both movies, them being fleshed out adds so much tension
I thought the point of all the people being survivors of low-survivability events was really cool.
Only shit thing was the ending that set it up for a second movie. I think the ending could've been a lot better without the cliffhanger ending and this like, huge web infiltrating governments and shit
Ready or not was actually really good. Super fun horror movie
That's by far one of my favorite horror movies. I stay on the edge of my seat watching it
@@Beanitsthe woods scene when she's trying to find the gate exit MY GODDD pure art I tell you
Lmaoooo, the Cody Ko accidental instrumental was a pleasant surprise
i chuckled
so glad someone else noticed lmaooo
lol i was looking for this comment
I know. It was so 🎶🎼🎵🎸 and honestly made 🎸🎶🎼🎸🎸🎸🎸
That ending for Would You Rather is honestly hilarious and I love it. I love disappointing and unsatisfying endings because they feel a lot more real. Life rarely has a satisfying ending with a nice little bow on it; watching movies where the protagonist goes through all this shit and it's all for nothing is really great.
ready or not is genuinely so good, the actress did a great job, the protag was competent and smart, it was a funny comedy horror
God I forgot how upset the choice to blow up the terrified children at the end of Ready or Not made me. Traumatized me for months. They had no real choice in this whole situation, even if they were brats it was all under their parents' manipulation. The icing on the upsetting cake being our protagonist laughing as the terrified children explode. I loved the movie besides that, but that scene will haunt and upset me forever.
i love nicks pig costume it’s so cute
☠️
I like your Gorminion costume a bit better but we appreciate the effort on this one too 🙏🙏
I remember Would You Rather, when it came out, being the type of horror movie that took a saw approach but wasn’t just chaotic torture the whole time, so it was really good BUT I also was (and still am thank u) in love with Brittany Snow so probably biased lmao
not to ruin the joke but there is a spin the bottle horror movie, called the empty man and yes its bad
I'm over here wondering whether Nick talking about talking about the script was part of the script...
i honestly loved bodies bodies bodies. it served its purpose and was a good comedy/thriller that didn't take itself too seriously.
this video was a lot more pistachio-heavy than I expected
ACAB includes low-budget SWAT team Nick, sorry :(
Truth or Dare wasn’t too horrible! A bit cheesy, but there were some good death scenes and gore. I remember when they made the vegan girl eat part of her friend, that was sick 😂
The blank walls are the scariest part of this video
I actually remember really liking Would You Rather? when i watched it. The twist at the end stayed in my head for days and i was really compelled by the antagonistic player by the end
I dont think movies, especially horror movies, have to provide a satisfying ending or some kind of "fighting the odds" plot line.
I absolutely loved how chaotic this video was, also the amount of times I tried wiping the smudge off of my screen lol
Call me crazy… but I’m not actually interested in hearing you read a script you didn’t write about movies you didn’t watch.
That pistachio thing reminded me of a girl who came to our house and took some chips out of the chip bowl at a part and just...put them on our couch and started eating them off there. I was so confused and offered her a plate or paper towel/napkin.
Would You Rather came out like a decade before Squid Game. All the others came out a couple years before it aswell, apart from Bodies Bodies Bodies, obviously.. so, technically, wouldn't Squid Game be like these movies, not the other way around? Lol.
When Nick mentioned Squid Game at the start of the video it reminded me of some type of SpongeBob grinder I saw on tiktok one time, god I just wish I could remember whose account I saw it on though.
Idk man I feel like the bare minimum you could do for a video where you talk about movies is watch the movies :////
Yeah I usually like nick’s videos but that’s kind of lame
@@ellielovegood6307 ya like i still enjoyed the video, and if it came out like this because sponsor deadlines or he’s busy burn out etc. I understand but idk this felt like sids video with nick presenting it lmao
You know that they didn't win in Escape Room, at the end, when they get the police there and all the stuff was packed up and gone
Ready or Not was super camp fun. Saw it on my second date at the drive-in with my now-partner. It was the far superior movie of the double feature that night. The other movie shown that night was 47 Meters Down: Uncaged, and that is a terrible movie. Lol great vid Nick!
I loved ready or not, i absolutely adore horror movies that have a bit of comedy in them ! I 10/10 would watch it again
lmao what a wonderful Halloween treat this was. thank you 🎃
(I appreciate the Leon RE cosplay, from the timeline where they defunded the police before all that other shit happened during the game. super creative.)
nick's videos keep getting better for some reason. he's starting to become my favorite youtuber.
Is it really too much work to watch the movies you are talking about to hundreds of thousands of people? Once maybe?
happy halloween all you little green goblins and ghouls
"bodies bodies bodies is like if the hypehouse turned into among us" 😭 syd bye LMFAOOOO
I love all the pistachio commentary, it was my favorite part
Loved Ready or Not personally, Samara was A+
for some reason, when I was in high school, I used to watch Would you rather like every month. I guess it was a part of my edgy horror enjoyer phase. I rewatched it recently and tbh I still kind of enjoy it. The ending is shocking. I think that was the point. To me, the entire film is an allegory for american capitalism (maybe not the most sophisticated, but the message is still there). We start off the film learning about Iris' inability to pay for treatment for her sick brother. This is already something that I'd say the majority of working class americans can relate to. It's such a common issue that Bernie Sanders put it front and center for his campaign. Iris is then offered the money she needs for the treatment, but only if she is willing to degrade and harm herself and others. I think you can see where the comparison is in capitalism. Making money becomes one's soul purpose when money is necessary to survive. When, at the end, Iris finds that her brother OD'ed, it all becomes pointless. She killed and maimed her way to wealth in the hopes that she would be able to support her family, yet it was all for nothing. It's depressing but it is our reality.
It takes the nostalgia and serotonin filled memories and twist them into something frightening. It makes the viewer progressively more uncomfortable as they realize they can't trust that warm happy feeling
I really enjoyed the escape room series personally, I feel it was a lot less cheesy than some movies in my opinion
same especially the first one, it was entertaining
ready or not is so good. the main actress has the best scream literally ever.
Better than Jenna ortega in xxx??
A nickisnotgreen video a day, keeps the doctor away!
??? It’s not a precursor to squid game at all. Squid game comes from a long line of “death game” stories that have been popular in east asia for decades. The most famous example is Battle Royale, which is more like hunger games than horror.
What the hell is the point even if there is no porn.
If you’re a commentary channel and going to comment on movies… shouldn’t you watch them at least? We get you saw Bodies in theater but you keep repeating you haven’t watch the rest of them. Like do the work idk
So is the gimmick of this guy the fact that he doesn't watch what he reviews? He's joking about not watching the movies, right?
I wasn't sure if I was gonna watch bodies bodies bodies because pete davidson is in it but now that I know that his character dies pretty early on I think I'm gonna be watching it lol
Nick I know your evangelical past made you almost say "non-denominational" when you messed up saying "non demonic"
Thanks for the movie recommendations
when is the Scary Maze Game netflix series coming out
I turn these videos on in the background while I get work done, and all of them just blended into one massive movie in my mind. I came out of this knowing that all these movies suck, and that the genre of "game but scary" should stop.
i loved 'ready or not' and 'escape room'. the aesthetics of them drew me in more.
another one that's the same principle of "you play the game or die" but it's kinda different cause it's a series on Netflix that's originally in Portuguese i believe it's called "3%' and i loved it, was keeping me on the edge of my seat
would you rather is unironically a favorite of mine
I'm a bit offended that Would You Rather was put into that category. Yeah it has a game attached to it but the movie isn't some shallow movie about just the game like the whole Truth Or Dare. The movie actually is a good way to explain the sick wealthy people who like to watch the working class in pain. :/
Ready or not is actually a pretty good movie
this is the 5,000th video on UA-cam I've liked so congrats Nick enjoy this nonsense award
the cody ko music really through me through a wall into a blender that had been turned on level 5
i know i'm two weeks late to this video, but there is potentially a loophole in ready or not. when the family explodes at the end, her husband is temporarily left alive, and it's only when she rejects him that he explodes as well. what the rules of that loophole are? left ambiguous. it's possible that if she had forgiven him, he would have lived. but it's equally possible that if she had forgiven him and remained married, le bail may have considered her part of the family and killed her too. either way, we'll never know because she did the very understandable thing of rejecting his murderous ass.
guys I actually like the Cody ko royalty free music unironically, it is kind of good
can u also please talk about how disgusting the oversexualization of ads on childrens games is. i play a bunch of salon games and other made for kids games, and the ads that you get are ridiculous. i started screenshooting every time i get one because it’s genuinely disgusting, i have so many screenshots it’s sick. they advertise a few different bdsm versions of the game episode, and regular games but with super sexualized ads. i never seen anyone talking about this but it’s a real problem. it has to be intentional because why when i play an “adult game” like solitaire i get normal ads for like monopoly or cooking fever but as soon as i play a game for kids the ads get sexual. i think they know the curiosity of younger kids so they know it will get clicks but that’s disgusting. and if the ads aren’t sexual, many of them send terrible messages about body image for young girls. i’ve literally tried looking this up several times and no one seems to talk about it. if you would download some apps like nail salon 3d or icing on the cake or flip trickster, or just almost any kids game.
ready or not is a really good movie that i very much reccomend
Halfway through this video I realized that you weren't talking about the game "Ready or Not," the game about being a SWAT team member. I am ashamed to say the least.
lmao I keep thinking that spot on his wall is a smudge on my screen; great video though 🎃
bro you had a good buzz going and i was watching u all the time then u got wayyy to political, im not here to hear you talk down on others and get them silenced because you disagree or don’t understand their comedy. It’s actually a shame that instead of wanting everyone to have freedom of opinion you decide to try to ruin someone’s career. Karma hurts my guy!
Watching your costume slowly fall apart had me crying..lol!!
the background music that plays during the part 1 intro made me worry that you weren’t going to talk for two solid minutes
i rarely leave comments, especially not unless its something positive, but i'll toss this one out. i generally really love nick's videos, this is the first one i've watched since the sneako one (its been a little while since i've watched) so i'm not sure if its just this vid or others but i just really wasn't feeling it? i think its due to having the majority of the writing not done by nick, i don't think there's anything wrong with that and splitting up workload but for a commentary video and overall channel that relies so heavily on personality, it's kind of uncanny to watch. like, it doesn't *feel* like a nickisnotgreen video. i don't think the writing is bad at all, but everyone has different styles and its just a weird juxtaposition. it feels nitpicky to complain as well about the not watching movies part but.. i do kind of agree with what some other people have commented, but moreso on the fact that its weird, again, to have a commentary channel that is based around one person's personality, but then have them speaking someone else's words and opinions in first person. i dunno! it just feels off. unfortunately im not able to finish the video, and i rarely click off of things halfway through. at the end of the day its not like everything has to be tailor made for me lol, mostly people really seemed to like this video, but thats my two cents.
Yeah I typically don't watch nick anymore, I feel like he is very negative about small things and it ended up being his only personality on both channels. I also feel like he talks a lot about stuff that he genuinely doesn't know much about, like I don't wanna hear someone's opinion about something they know very little about, because then in order to compensate he has to nit pick
@@sydneyfreland2876 its really a shame! i've noticed that same kind of trend with a bunch of other commentary youtubers, i feel like at a certain point a bunch of them (not necessarily nick, as i said im not familiar with his recent vids) stopped 'punching down' and instead just started punching anywhere, and prioritizing mean spirited jokes instead of actual critique. if they're not doing that, instead it'll be like as you said where they vaguely dunk on a topic that they barely really know anything about. feels lacking in nuance but more importantly lacking in passion. it gets a bit tiring after a while :/
