Nothing in cinema history can be compared to: “Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don’t shoot their husbands. They just don’t.”
Icon
Every few months this pops in my head and I become Elle wood the whole day 😂
Chris Watts didn't get the memo apparently. 😁😁
@pvuccino ouch. haha
Because you were in the shower ... (I've lost count how many times that was said in that scene ... But You Go Girl for figuring it out )
I'm so grateful that even in the early 2000s the writer didn't gave Vivian an arc that wrote her off as Warner's villain fiance. She outgrows that plot point and has a real arc.
For real tho - but apparently not enough for Benji to trust the actress 😂😂😂
@@PinkPopcast Lol this one sided grudge is deeply hilarious. I feel bad for actors who play villains on the regular
@@PinkPopcastthe actress seems to be a full on Islamophobe judging by her Instagram posts recently so I say Benji was on to something
A great moment is when she’s debating Warner in hypotheticals in Callahan’s clas about the guy that suddenly wants paternal rights over a kid from donated sperm and she came up with counter that each one of his masturbatory emissions could be considered reckless abandonment.
That WAS a great moment!!!
Why now? Why this sperm?
"It's like a smart people thing. You're never going to get the grades. Was she carrying books?" These lines always bugged me because dude, she got INTO HARVARD LAW the same school as you guys. Clearly, she is smart and can read lol.
But it is Harvard. Like 90% of them are trust fund babies who only got in because their parents are donors. They probably aren’t that smart and assume she isn’t either
@@emilyb3875 So they are also calling themselves out as not smart to be at Harvard because they used money to get in. Isn't that being hypocritical? lol
RIGHT!? So annoying lolol
But honestly it makes sense for Vivian to be like that because she knew Warner had to pay to get in. So she probably just assumed Elle did the same thing. Which is obviously wrong but if that was like their line of reasoning it would make sense.
yes and they cant say it was just because of the video like sis still has to go to class and pass lol
_Fun fact!_ The director of Home Alone had a crew member’s son put on a wig and dress and make a silly face for the photo of buzz’s gf. He didn’t want to insult a real little girl like that either
I think I'd read that too! crazy but thank god lol
or is that worse? :P
Buzz your girlfriend, WOOF!!!
"That Selma death stare, that Selma beware, that Selma I hate her blonde hair, that Selma I don't care, that Selma au contraire" LMAO I can't with you guys 💀
The hilarious thing is that Warner establishes a binary between Jacqueline Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe but actually both of them were intelligent, beautiful and fashion icons who remain timeless. Just a little explainer for the uninitiated.
And what's he best remembered for? Dying.
A 180 is a perfect score for the LSAT's. So, Elle getting 179 was near perfect. She's smarter than people gave her credit for because she's blond.
I don't think it's not just people not giving her enough credit.
She's probably got a photographic memory. But because she's so privileged, she's rich and pretty and so loved, she never had to prove herself. So she never had to apply herself.
So how could anyone, including herself, know what she's really capable of?
@@simransimran9339 you not giving her credit in this very comment 😳
I remember watching this in the theater while in college and the gasps I heard in the theater at the “at least a 175” line is like a core memory at this point. That and how people collectively groaned then LOL’d at Mariah Carey’s “Glitter” preview.
Blonde is apparently the feminine spelling while blond is the masculine. Can’t gave BDE without the E
i will never forgive the musical for dropping her down to a 175
I love when cis-het men react positively to ‘Legally Blonde’ and call out Warner for being a douche. They don’t deserve a medal for being aware but it’s kind of a green flag.
Where’s the heterosexual man here? Both seem gay to me.
Rizzo gets a medal anyway
Well Beni is homosexual but still yeah it’s cool to see cis men do that
Your gaydar may need to be sent back to the shop but yes - every human of every gender and preference should recognize that Warner is an idiot
@@LocalPunkKid204 the “het” in cis-het means heterosexual, so op wasn’t referring to Benji.
Group of old white men sitting on table : "..,aren´t we always looking diversity..." The scene is just great. Whole movie is iconic for a reason.
😂😂
I must say Benji was killing it at guessing those lines for having never seen the movie before, almost psychic even.
😂😂
"Punch him." "Kick him." "Hit him." "Slap him."
Bop it!
I love how the musical of this movie deepened the characters of Emmett and Vivian.
Emmett with how they gave him more scenes with Elle and a way to show how different he is from Warner.
And Vivian by seeing the slap!! So she stood up for her and encouraged her. I love it!!
And even Warner, it is more clear in it that he actually loves his life with Elle (not her because he's a narcissist) and he has not been malevolently using her but more like his parents pressure him into becoming a serious lawyer, but he would honestly would have preferred to be a rich losangelino that doesn't do shit and hangs with his pretty and bubbly girlfriend that never challenges him. It's more tragic, thinking he also wants her back (even if for unhealthy, egotistical reasons) but he's too much of a coward to let go of societal expectations.
I love the musical but one aspect I don't like is that they sacrificed a crucial part of Elle's journey to give Emmett more to do. The whole 'Chip on your shoulder' sequence just doesn't live up to 'I'll show you how valuable Elle Woods can be'
@Trash0Princesse I know alot of people who feel the same way as you do, but I personally love that change. If he didn't help her in that moment, I wouldn't be as invested in their relationship and I love Chip on Your Shoulder. It's my favorite part lol
But Emmett also gives her 2-in-1 shampoo & conditioner, and I just can't forgive him for that.
@@EmonEconomistI use that 😂
Legend says that movie experts are still figuring out how Elle’s Dad got a martini glass at the graduation.
I'm guessing- hip flask
Whenever I watch this movie I try to give Vivian the benefit of the doubt...like you don't get engaged out of nowhere which means Warner was likely cheating on both her and Elle, and I can't help but think her hatred for Elle might be because she found out that Warner was 'dicking around' and made some assumptions about the pretty blonde he was cheating with...still not great behaviour from her, but a little more understandable than randomly hating on some girl because she's high fem
Honestly I didn’t have much issue with Vivian’s behavior (that’s all Benji) and I totally get that perspective! It would make sense if he cheated on Elle with Viv!
I understand where Vivian is coming from, I just still have childhood bias from not understanding the characters outside of the story being told 😅
14:01 The point is that she’s so angry that she didn’t change out of the costume. Also, “Don’t ask/Wasn’t gonna” interaction is (chef’s kiss) 😂
As a hairdresser who worked on a horseshoe hair salon... YES. some of the fanciest, women do love the casual friendly envioroment, instead of a luxurios place. Specially when you can have a similar quality of service (even with lower cost products).😂😂😂
You know, I completely overlooked that, so thank you for bringing it to our attention. It’s so important to remember how much good service plays into returning customers
@@PinkPopcast I was equally surprised when I started 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The only thing stopping me from hating Callahan is the fact he was in Rodger & Hammerstein’s Cinderella. I can’t hate Brandy’s father in law lol.
EXACTLY!!! - Rizzo
I've always loved the detail that the gift basket Elle brought Brooke in prison would be awesome to get regardless. New sheets, scented candles, a whole skincare line? Please, and thank you!
It was so sweet...the guards would absolutely not let her keep any of that, but still very sweet.
@@MegaVideoman23 not any of it. So she should give it to me, is all I’m saying.
I think it was such a thing in the 2000s to think that ‘Beauty’ and ‘Brains’ were 2 different entities.
why do I end up seeing Pokhraj everywhere 😭😭😭 hi bro, fellow TISS fan here
Elle Woods: “I’m discriminated against as a Blonde.”
Benji: “I’m discriminated against as a Black.”
Rizzo: “…and I’m here, hi!”
The video just PEAKED here and I love it. Also, both of you look cuter than usual today.
We’re bronzed up from the pool ☺️
w rizz
I was 100% sure that Rizzo was South Asian after watching one or two of their videos and never seeing one pop up on my feed for like a year 😂
Wow, all that Selma Blair rhymes? *chef’s kiss*
Honestly you guys have the best reactions, references, and comedic timings on your edits! Thanks a bunch guys for always being super entertaining 😭
Thank you!! ☺️
As a kid, I thought Warner lost because he graduated “without honors.” As an adult, I now know a straight white man from an uber wealthy family, who also gets a Harvard law degree, isn’t exactly suffering because of his grades. I wish they had written the ending better! Warner Drops out of school! Disinherited, with no real life skills!
In the musical Warner does drop out.
Omg you’re so right 😅😅
@@limitlesssoul2882I love the musical so much, lol
In another thought, Warner didn't do anything to earn a "suffering" ending. He was just an inconsiderate/ crappy boyfriend. That's not the worst thing a white man can be/do. So him graduating without honor is an afterthought for the audience and Elle. We have moved on. Why should we care about him? Whatever happens to him, whatever he becomes is whatever
Oh I just remembered how much worse Callahan was in the musical but at least Vivian witnessed the slap that came immediately after. When right after she and Elle were too shocked to rlly explain what happened it's like, ooghgh, I felt that too. This movie though aaaah I love the colours, the costumes, everything
My sister is a lawyer and the part where the guidance counselor says she needs to get a 179 on the LSATs always makes her angry. That is a perfect score for that test and is pretty much impossible to get. I love this movie so much.
😂😂 wow I never knew that
I’m case someone hasn’t mentioned it, the actor who plays David (dorky tall guy) is Oz Perkins. He’s the son of actor Anthony Perkins, the Norman Bates of Psycho fame. He primarily writes and Directs now
The ‘Legally Blonde’ Sequel is underrated political satire. Also, it has Sally Field and Regina King.
Rizzo, thank you for ‘Freak in da sheets’ and ‘Doesn’t speak when she eats’. The sheer poetry! Eminem could NEVER --
I cannot believe that this movie didn’t have a reaction. Also, happy to see Sunny make an appearance! 👏🏽
I will be forever grateful for this movie because it not only made me feel like I can do anything as a girl but for also introducing me to Jennifer Coolidge! I LOVE Jennifer Coolidge! I love her more than Reese!
Also between this and Lizzie McGuire, it made me buy those stupid pompom pens and I thought I was so cool when I brought them to school. Speaking of school, does anyone else want Apple to a throwback and bring back those bubble transparent computers. I was obsessed when my school got them when I was in the 4th grade! I think it would be cute to bring them back
1:53 I knew someone who used to think Mary-Kate and Ashley were three people and he would be confused why they never showed the third sister.
That got a genuine laugh out of us!!!
@@PinkPopcast we did too when he told us 🤣!
@@Vincisomething I used to think one of the twins in Parent Trap was CGI… 😬 -Rizzo
The "Gay or European?" song from the legally blonde musically is iconic and very catchy
Nobody in the making of ‘Legally Blonde’ thought they were creating history. Although you can see everyone had a great time making it.
I love that even thought it was totally the first time you've ever seen the movie you recognized it was such an iconic film.
The Selma Blair Wordplay Face-Off came out of nowhere and I loved it! Also, Selma Blair was awesome in the movie 👏🏽
This movie was described by ‘The Take’ (a brilliant video essay channel) as a “watershed moment” and I couldn’t agree more. It was a definitive movie for the girls, gays and theys. (Although Enid Wexler as a Queer/Queercoded character could’ve been written better)
Benji singing songs from the musical makes me so happy 💖
Makes me wonder, how many times has she seen it
Also as a hairstylist, I always think of this movie between how a perm would break down in your hair if it got wet but also because of the bend and snap. I personally haven’t used it but look at the benefits. After all, it works every time
I love this movie because it celebrates women's friendships with each other and showcases different kinds of friendships, and the main character never stoops to the level of the villains even at her most desperate (like Cady's arc in Mean Girls). While some of the humor and that "he's gay!' jump in logic doesn't hold up 20 years later, Elle Woods is still a woman that girls can look up to, and that's saying something.
Benji really needs to see Jennifer Coolidge's performance in Austenland
Yes!
The tall nerd from Harvard is Oz Perkins. He the son of the late Anthony Perkins, famous for his role in Psycho as Norman Bates.
Holy shit, mind blown by this fact. Can't believe I never heard that! thank god for the pop stars💖
Benji...instead of throwing food at the characters, like muffins & sandwiches, just pull out your handy break-up stake. Won’t be any trouble cuz there won’t be any witnesses 😈😁
😂😂 truth! I Forgot it’s in my back pocket
Legally Blonde is literally one of my favorite movies and I'll never get tired of watching it. Elle made me want to become a lawyer so bad! She was kind, badass, great fashion, trustworthy and had all the qualities of a great lawyer.
The inclusion of "my dog stepped on a bee" fucking SENT me 😂😂😂😂😂
BEST LEGEALLY BLOND REACTION ON THE INTERNET.
Hands Down!!! I have been screaming for the past 20 minutes. I'm one more joke away from tears. Give Benji the Oscar! Now! Resse Wither-Who
Also the editing is A-1 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
hahahaha THANK YOU!
"Great you´re a dork with a degree" I laughed more than I should have, omg I would love to have a picture with Linda Cardellini I don´t care how many people she murdered in this movie 🤣
Also people saying that she was lucky to get into Harvard are just not correct, 179 is in the 99th percentile so she's clearly VERY SMART
21:15 appreciated that.
It’s true, pretending to be just “unable” to do certain things- aka, helpless -makes it so much easier for you to get away with stuff.
Yep, that damn weaponized incompetence🙃🙃
This video made me realize the love interest from legally blond is Owen Wilson’s brother but oh my god they look alike and sound alike
I just saw a ‘Legally Blonde’ Reaction Video on another channel and now you two are going to react to it. I have my Fun Facts and Commentary ready lol
Elle Woods with the Law School Ensembles is EVERYTHING! I just love the sheer range of outfits. Also, she’s a Gemini so that makes her instantly relatable 😂
Ya'll doing the head tilt at the same time when they look at the engagement ring absolutely sent me. Iconic!
😂😂
I love when Sunny joins! He’s the cutest and always so happy ❤️
Even if Rizzo doesn’t like how loud he breathes 😂
Dead 💀
I love the legally blonde musical references and the little MatPat cameo lol😭
I love y’all ❤
I love how everyone thinks of Owen Wilson when they see Luke Wilson, which is not surprising but gets me every time.
Also, an underrated moment is a meta joke Emmett makes about the possibility of having blonde hair.
I kept expecting an insert of Kathy Morningside insulting Gracie Hart with "You know who I mean. Feminists…intellectuals…ugly women."
I don't know if it's just me... but Rizzo pointing out the sexism by saying sexist stuff ironically is somehow hitting different when he's wearing a muscle shirt and a baseball cap. 😅
I noticed that too 😂😂😂 it takes a lot of good faith from the popstars but any newcomer wouldn’t be wrong to assume I’m being sincere 😂😂😂
i'm glad i'm not the only one who hears the musical whenever the scenes come up, whenever the court scene comes up I'm like you bastard! you lying bastard!
😂😂
You should do a react video to the musical, seeing as you already included stuff here i'd love a full-blown reaction :D
Fun Fact: The actor who plays David Kidney is the son of Tony Perkins (of ‘Psycho’ fame).
Really loving this reaction to Legally Blonde, the film is Iconic
The only thing greater than commentary to legally blonde 1&2 is commentary on the musical as Benji sings along 🙏🏾😊
This is one of my conforting movies, just beside crueless. I'm a sucker for 90's and early 2000's movies
10:43 Jennifer Coolidge is such a comedic icon. We need to see more of her in movies!
I like how in real life she's probably super smart but was fine to play down and comedic
The Post-Credit Scene was brilliant and yes, if one’s pastures are green, it needs medical intervention.
freak in the sheets, doesnt speak when she eats. instantly smacked that like button
*Me just aging* I actually watched the musical when it aired on MTV 1st. I was never interested in seeing the movie when it was in theaters but I watched it later on cable. I loved the musical so much more that I recorded it on VHS and watch it at least once a year. The soundtrack is still on my phone.
Wow that’s so interesting I definitely grew up on this then saw the musical on UA-cam and loved it! Also enjoyed watching the reality show where they found the new Elle
Loved the little reference to the musical 😆
Love this reaction and how much you guys enjoyed it! Excited about the sequel!
Would you consider reacting to Cruel Intentions as another Reese Witherspoon/Selma Blair movie?
17:47 That’s Love Connie! I didn’t recognize them until they appeared in a recent episode of Drag Race 😁
not the my dog stepped on a bee joke...and I was enjoying yall's content
Did you guys not see the girl stood at the water fountain in front of Elle who didn’t actually drink any water just bent her head over for a minute 🤣 that always makes me laugh
This dog is the CUTEST ever oh my god
This movie is so iconic
OMFG YESSSSSSSSS!
BEND AND ✨SNAP✨(hid for any spoilers, but sorry rizzo)
WHY has it taken this long?!💓
I loved this movie when I was younger cuz it showed that you can do anything and that there will be people that support you
Also very quotable movie and generally just so fun to watch, plus the sequel might be one of the only good sequels out there lol
Was having a really crappy day. This just lift my spirits. Luv you guys!!!🥰❤️❤️❤️
I've been binging this entire channel for the past 2-3 days and Benji and Rizzo have made me laugh so many times, I love it! Thanks for making me smile and laugh so much, it really feels great 😄
You two really brighten up my day with your reactions
4:50 Ok, wow! I loved ‘Recess’ as a child and I didn’t know this.
You guys should watch cruel intentions which has both Reese and Selma in it who both give great performances. Love the video as always.❤️
I second this lol
Reaction requests are the worst, I know, but Austenland is hilarious and totally made by the comedy chops of Jennifer Coolidge, James Callis, and Georgia King.
I wanna show Benji that movie sometime! It’s hilarious!
not the “do you think jennifer coolidge knew she was filming this” 😭😂
I’ve seen and heard so much discourse on ‘Legally Blonde’ and I’m hearing about ‘Elleabi’ right now. 😂
I’m sad I finished this reaction already 😭 excuse me while I rewatch cuz this whole vid is perfection
You guys have such an awesome energy, I'm dying laughing through all the slightly off colour jokes and hilarious edits. 😂 Thanks for the good time! Haha
I very much appreciate you guys incorporating the musical into this
One of my all time favorite movies, probably have seen it over 100 times!! Love you both so much! 🫶🏼😘💕❤️
This was such a fun reaction! Bless you for making my morning ♥️
I love that you included the moments from the musical in the rights moments
5:43 it’s funny how years later she ends up training to become a lawyer. She purposely manifested that.
🙌🙌🙌
I love the hint at the broad way play in the beginning 💛💛
14:01 i demand justice for this perfect joke
😊😊
loved your "first time reaction ". hope to see many more.😅
The fact that you have a blonde long haired Chihuahua just made me love you even more 😭
🥰🥰😄🐕
Omg it’s midnight here in the uk 😂😂😂😂 but I’m gonna stay up and watch cause love u guys xxxx
This movie is iconic...
I think the way they first present all the women (and men honestly) in this movie is through the eyes of men or society, before peeling back the layers and seeing them for what or who they truly are...
That's very intelligent...😁
I love this movie the bend and snap used to crack me up because no woman is doing that lol and when she get to the part about her wetting her hair after a perm I was like sis right asf she lying lmao
LOVE THE PIPCORN PFP❤
6:10 ive NEVER noticed that until you said it🫢 i thought he just whistled😭
