Can you please review The Crow, Crow City of Angles (that poor movie suffered the same fate as Cool World) , Power Rangers 2017, Mortal Kombat 2021, and for Nostalgiaween Thriller and Ghosts (Stephen King worked on it)?
You should review the actual movie Mandela Effect if you're gonna make all these references to it! And no, I have never even heard of this movie, much less your review of it.
*Fun fact:* This movie proved to be so popular in eastern countries that it's been remade 4 different times. 3 times in India and once in Sri Lanka. One of those remakes was titled, and this is true, *"James Bond."*
I remember watching one of those remakes as a kid and absolutely loving it. And maybe it's the nostalgia goggles but I do think the remake I watched (named Sisindri) is better than Baby's Day Out. For one the actors are charming and it had some sweet songs.
@@QuarterLifeCrises I watched this movie when I was young. I was fine with it for the most part, but as I was afraid of apes at the time the parts with the guy in the gorilla suit terrified me.
It's not a well done movie but I still think it's fun. The baby is beyond adorable and the bald guy's "lullaby" towards the beginning never failed to crack me up as a kid
You know you've got a shit gig as a criminal when you wanna return to the food service industry. Gonna be honest, that joke hits very different now than it did then...and it kinda makes it one of the funniest lines of the movie. As a funny aside, weirdly enough, I WAS eating Burger King by the time I watched this review; what a very odd coincidence. XD
I'm honestly really glad this film didn't become a franchise and stayed as a one and only film because i think just having one film is probably the best
The reason the part where the baby was at the day care was written in was so that someone can change his diaper and feed him before his long adventure. If they didn't do that scene people would be wondering how the baby is getting by for so long without his essentials. The whole thing requires suspension of disbelief of course but I'm glad they thought of that at least
While director Patrick Read Johnson doesn't completely regret the movie, he has gone on to say that he would've changed certain elements if he could, such as removing the kidnapping plot (as he felt the family was unsympathetic) and simply having the baby get loose from a distracted family.
@@georgeeastwood6930 Well, one never left Wayne Campbell alone, and the other would be toxic to Julia Sullivan as well as threaten Billy Idol on a plane.
My late girlfriend loved this movie. RIP Navleen Goraya. It was a huge hit in India apparently. I found it amusing and hilarious, even if it's something I found silly even as a kid.
Actually, in the original script Doug wrote, it said “Chaplin is disturbed by the sudden appearance of a multidimensional portal and hurries out of the room.” He’s just not a very good actor. He’s also Chaplin.
As I kid I loved this movie and watched it countless times. Now I'm in my thirties and a father of a baby boy, I hadn't though of it in years and watching some of these scenes made me cry my eyes out, I don't even know why.
The scene of the veterans singing "This is the Army, Mr. Jones" is one of my core memories. I watched this movie a few times as a little kid and it was the only scene I can remember. And I remember it disturbingly clearly.
Watched this film multiple times as a kid and loved every minute of it. Rewatched it a few months ago and still found it uproariously funny. The shot where the baby sets fire to the guy's crotch is still hilarious, and the later line "seeing as you burnt down the only tree in your forest, l wouldn't worry about it" made me laugh so hard I needed a drink of water. I still think this movie is great, filled with funny lines, solid performances, and funny gags. Maybe my sense of humor just never matured, but I unapologetically enjoy this film for what it is. A fun little film that doesn't take itself too seriously and enjoys goofy slapstick and bumbling bad guys getting their crotches pulverized.
Another Fun Fact: In a 2009 essay, published after the death of John Hughes, Roger Ebert included this tidbit about a trip to India: "Once when I was visiting the largest movie theater in Calcutta, I asked if Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) had been their most successful American film. No, I was told, it was Baby's Day Out, a Hughes comedy about a baby wandering through a big city, which played for more than a year." An Indian remake, Sisindri (1995) was released the following year. However Jurassic Park (1993) was the most successful American film in all of India back in 1994.
@@Center-For-I.E.D.Mismanagementwhat did you expect from a country that made a movie so bad it was considered to be one of the worst movies of all time according to Wikipedia in 2014?
@@KOOPAS1234 What did I expect from India, a country where the people a forced into a caste system, the vast majority of which live in squalor and treat women like breeding stock? Nothing.
I have quite fond memories of this, it was in the loop of movies that would play on movie channels often, so while it would get boring it became a favorite for different scenes that always got me, the bit with the kidnnapper telling a story/lullaby, the ape scene, and the part with the veterans singing. I always loved that part.
This was obviously inspired by the old warner brothers cartoons. This was a loveletter to those toons, and I love it for that. It's nice to turn off your brain and just watch Joe Mantegna put his crotch through the gauntlet.
Can't speak for everyone, but I think this film has a soft spot for me because the baby is legit adorable. Also some of the physical comedy can be pretty hilarious, especially putting out the fire on Fat Tony's crotch.
@@LucyLioness100 They'd have lot's of material though 😁 They would really hate this era. Who do you think the modern Day versions of those Two could be?
John Hughes: A Life in Film is a book that does a pretty good job covering all of his career and you could kind of connect the dots where the failure of his most personal film (She's Having a Baby), burnout, and a paradoxical mix of executive meddling and complete freedom led to Baby's Day Out. Nobody wanted to make the movie despite John believing it was one of his best script. Even the director simply joined on board because he loved working with John, only to realize with horror what he had gotten himself into.
This actually got an interesting reaction from Siskel and Ebert when it came to their review of it. It was even featured on Doug's list of his favorite Siskel and Ebert reviews!
I love the rapid fire dismantling of the different mandela effects in the beginning. It really does make sense it you think about it. The thing we remember is usually the one that makes the most sense. Some people think it’s fruit loops and not froot, because that’s how you spell fruit. Looney toons instead of tunes because it’s cartoons. Monkeys usually have tails, so it would make sense for “George the monkey” to have one too
For the baby they used a puppet by Makeup Effects artist Rick Baker, whom also did the Gorilla suit for the Zoo scene. They used practical and Visual Effects for the film, courtesy of Industrial Light And Magic. VFX Artists React did an episode on this movie and didn't know if the baby was real or a puppet.
Verne Troyer was also an uncredited stunt double for baby bink. He wasn't credited I believe bc it was the beginning of his career. Anyways for anyone who was concerned about the Binks safety throughout the movie, again it was a midget stunt double doing most of the shots & a dummy for other shots. 1 instance was in the teaser trailer I think. The big lady w/ the bag dropped the bag & it shows bink hitting his head falling backwards in the purse. Obviously this was cut bc it would literally turn everyone into max concerned parent mode. The baby in that shot was only a doll & the part where the doll falls is cut entirely from the movie. Still a good slapstick movie imo though.
Writer John Hughes and director Patrick Read Johnson butted heads often while filming, especially with how certain scenes would be portrayed or how the baby would physically move. At one point, Hughes went on a walk with Johnson and simply told him "Patrick, just make the fucking movie". Despite all this, the two got along great later on in production, with Hughes eventually saying to Patrick that he was perfect for the job.
So my mother told me this story of my great grandmother. She didn't realize movies were fake at this time and saw this movie with my mom. My mother was pretty young at the time. My grandmother got super upset thinking this movie was real and thought the baby was in danger lmao
The director mentioned in the commentary that he was frequently getting letters from angry parents who were surprised that he put the babies in "danger". He mentioned how, in a way, he found that complimentary because people fell for the special effects.
I will admit to having a soft spot for this movie. Maybe it’s nostalgia, since I watched it all the time when I was younger, but I don’t think it’s so bad
It's not one of the best movies from the 90's but yet i still like this movie cuz i grew up with it. Sure it's silly and all that but i just can't deny that it's one of my favorites 😊
The gorilla suit was actually the Digit suit from Gorillas In the Mist redressed from a mountain gorilla to a western lowland gorilla since there are no lowland gorillas in zoos and most of the time and money went into the baby puppets from Rick Baker and crew. Rick and his crew were actually the ones who found Verne Troyer and got him his first job on this doubling the baby.
Plot twist: Baby Bink is actually Kevin McAllister. I'll explain. After reuniting with his parents, the FBI agent calls CPS and reports the parents for being neglectful. So baby Bink is taken to the local orphanage. About a year later, Peter and Kate McAllister visit the orphanage and decide to adopt baby Bink. They change his name to Kevin. Years pass. After being released from prison, Eddie, Norby and Veeko contact Eddie's brother Marv and tell him and Harry about the incident with the child years before. That's why Harry targeted the McAllister home. Eddie found where baby Bink had gone. The old man in the retirement home is Mr. Duncan. He recognized Kevin as baby Bink. Kevin's uncle Frank knew Kevin was adopted and that he was really baby Bink. Frank knew Veeko from his stint in the Navy. So there you go. Baby's Day Out is a prequel to Home Alone.
There’s a Mandela effect thing with Pikachu having a black stripe on the end of his tail. I swear to god I had a Pokémon encyclopedia when I was about 12 that had a picture of Pikachu having the black stripe on his tail. The thing is that encyclopedia was garbage and was filled with a shit load of other mistakes like misspelling names or getting evolutions mixed up. It was some cheap thing from the scholastic book fair and I probably should have saved it, but instead it was probably burned up in a memory hole or some shit.
I know not a lot of people don't like this movie but I love it. Mainly because I have such fond memories of watching it with my sisters. It's what I call the Mama Mia effect. Watching it alone isn't very fun. Watching with friends and family is a blast!
The FBI agent at 7:14 was elected Senator the year this movie came out. He was Senator Fred Thompson from Tennessee. He even ran for President in 2008.
1:13 I like how AVGN was like following up with the Mandela effect with people being dropped up for other universes while nostalgia critic is using Occam's razor essentially
A Behind the Scenes Fact: Because John Hughes both wrote and produced the film, he outranked director Patrick Read Johnson. During editing, the two were fighting over the movie while trying to be really nice to each other.
This was a go to favorite movie to watch for me as a kid left with a babysitter while my mom was out and this was one in a small handful of kid-friendly VHS tapes my sitter had. The irony is not lost on me.
My understanding of the scene at 14:10 is they started laughing after realizing people were there so as to not draw attention to the reason they screamed. It seems they were playing it off as if they were startled by the gorilla and laughed when they saw it wasn't scary.
I remember watching this movie and it being one of my favorites. The scenes at the zoo with the gorilla and the veterans home are my favorite moments from the movie.
Fun fact about the gorilla suit: The same suit (with some minor adjustments) was used for Gorillas in the Mist! Another fun fact: Reportedly, one of the "stunt babies" in this film was played by Verne "Mini Me" Troyer. (Hey, a job's a job.)
I remember watching this movie in the 90's after renting it at a Blockbuster *because* it reminded me of Home Alone, and I also remember rewinding the scene where Joe Mantegna gets stomped to put out the fire at least 3 times because I was dying laughing at it. Because, you know, to a teenage boy that is the HEIGHT of hilarity. But I remember what really sent me over the edge laughing was that guy afterwards going: Clueless Henchmen: "And THAT'S how you put out a campfire!" Joe Mantegna: "Did you roast marshmallow over a pile of FLAMING GONADS?!?!?" CH: "Uh...we usually used logs." I don't know why but that made it about 10x funnier to my teenage brain at the time.
My grandma used to love this movie, so I did grow fond of it. One thing that always stood out for me is the score at the beginning of the scene at the construction site with that very Johann Strauss-esque waltz done beautifully by Bruce Broughton, the same guy that did the Tiny Toon Adventures' music.
I’m surprised you haven’t reviewed this movie around the time you also reviewed many terrible movies from the 1990’s (before you met Malcolm or Rachel). Speaking of the 90’s, please review James Cameron’s “Titanic”! It was the film of dreams, it was, it really was. 😊
I love how James Rolfe did an ENTIRE episode making fun of the Berenstain Bears theory, only for Doug Walker to perfectly disprove the conspiracy theory in just 5 seconds
20:06 If i had been the main villian in that moment. I would have yelled SURE THING OFFICER!!! I'LL BRING IT RIGHT DOWN!!!! and then i would climb out the window while carrying the booboo and splatter myself on the sidewalk in front of them. Why? because i would rather be damned to hell than condemned to god knows how long in prison for kidnapping a millionaire's baby.
I’m surprised this wasn’t done years ago. I remember one of the stars the critic mentioned this movie when he was doing the home alone 3 review mentioning John Hughes movies.
It's kind of interesting for me to see what people considered are a childhood classic from a certain decade and what also isn't a childhood classic from that same decade
18:05 I'm just as surprised as you are they didn't follow the crotch-shot with another crotch-shot here. Give the movie SOME credit for having...a MODICUM of restraint. XD Meanwhile, this is basically just all those older cartoons where there's an episode where the baby gets in to hilariously dangerous hijinx whilst the main characters try to stop the baby killing itself, only for the baby to survive by complete bullshit logic. Gonna be honest...never did care for that trope; it just makes me feel sorry for the protagonist who has to look after the little crotch-goblin. :/
I remember watching this once when I was on holiday. For the life of me I couldn't remember the name until I discovered the internet. In fact I confused it with "Three Men and a Baby", a film that was actually well received and a box office hit and came out seven years earlier.
Joe Pantoliano's character always reminded me of the guy from Oliver and Company, you kinda get the feeling he doesn't want to go through with the plan
When I was young we had a babysitter, let's call her "Darlene". This was her absolute favorite movie, but we all hated it and so did our parents. To this day we still refer to low brow slapstick comedies like this as "Darlene Movies"
I thought for a second in a very meta way NC was subtlety introducing Mandella effects in this review with the line "Russ Stedman's Animal Farm" and I was thinking "that was George Orwell?" Turns out Stedman did the illustrated book. And the reason so many think Doug reviewed this movie before is because 1.) Red Letter Media has reviewed it And 2.) Doug included clips of it during his Siskel and Ebert retrospective.
I still laugh a lot when I watch this movie. But I am surprised you didn't mention that Vern Troyer was the baby stunt double and didn't use a mini me joke.
The first time I ever saw this was my first time going to the cinema with my Dad and it was one of the best memories I have of him because it's also the earliest memory that showed me despite his hard-ass, old-school exterior. He loved to laugh at ridiculous movies. He liked Home Alone enough, but thought Kevin was too much of a smartass. But this, Mr. Bean and Dennis the Menace were movies that he would always be happy to sit down and watch with us kids. I miss him every day
21:34 Why does Pikachu not have that black tip at his tail?!! That much yellow is so distracting! Is he a Simpsons character now?!! Is that three-eyed fish actually a Pokemon itself? Simpsons came out with Pokemon first but we just missed it?😮......
Since Pikachu appears in the Simpsons and is also yellow like the humans on the show, does that mean that Pikachu is just a mutated human (in the Simpons universe)?
Nobody I ever talk to never thought Pikachu had a black tip at the end of his tail. I mean for crying out loud he appeared in 1236 episodes, 22 movies and much more yet people swear on their life about a small detail which never existed?
I love how the Mandela effect is named after people misremembering Nelson Mandela's death in the 80s, an event that would have shifted global politics if true. Yet the best examples anyone can come up with are their own flawed memories of spelling or grammar

Wait what?
The director mentioned in the commentary that he was frequently getting letters from angry parents who were surprised that he put the babies in "danger". He mentioned how, in a way, he found that complimentary because people fell for the special effects.
@howdoyoudo5949 great grandmother thought this baby was actually doing the things seen in the movie lol
@@garrettbays6942 lmao
15:31 looks like that gorilla from SpongeBob and even that looked more convincing
I will admit to having a soft spot for this movie. Maybe it’s nostalgia, since I watched it all the time when I was younger, but I don’t think it’s so bad
I have soft spot for it too my grandma and I watched it a lot and I love watching it on days when I really miss her it was one of her favorite movies
It's not one of the best movies from the 90's but yet i still like this movie cuz i grew up with it. Sure it's silly and all that but i just can't deny that it's one of my favorites 😊
The gorilla suit was actually the Digit suit from Gorillas In the Mist redressed from a mountain gorilla to a western lowland gorilla since there are no lowland gorillas in zoos and most of the time and money went into the baby puppets from Rick Baker and crew. Rick and his crew were actually the ones who found Verne Troyer and got him his first job on this doubling the baby.
Plot twist:
Baby Bink is actually Kevin McAllister. I'll explain. After reuniting with his parents, the FBI agent calls CPS and reports the parents for being neglectful. So baby Bink is taken to the local orphanage. About a year later, Peter and Kate McAllister visit the orphanage and decide to adopt baby Bink. They change his name to Kevin. Years pass. After being released from prison, Eddie, Norby and Veeko contact Eddie's brother Marv and tell him and Harry about the incident with the child years before. That's why Harry targeted the McAllister home. Eddie found where baby Bink had gone. The old man in the retirement home is Mr. Duncan. He recognized Kevin as baby Bink. Kevin's uncle Frank knew Kevin was adopted and that he was really baby Bink. Frank knew Veeko from his stint in the Navy.
So there you go. Baby's Day Out is a prequel to Home Alone.
I am a bit surprised to see how many effects from this film still hold up because it is a 90's film after all
There’s a Mandela effect thing with Pikachu having a black stripe on the end of his tail. I swear to god I had a Pokémon encyclopedia when I was about 12 that had a picture of Pikachu having the black stripe on his tail. The thing is that encyclopedia was garbage and was filled with a shit load of other mistakes like misspelling names or getting evolutions mixed up. It was some cheap thing from the scholastic book fair and I probably should have saved it, but instead it was probably burned up in a memory hole or some shit.
I know not a lot of people don't like this movie but I love it. Mainly because I have such fond memories of watching it with my sisters.
It's what I call the Mama Mia effect. Watching it alone isn't very fun. Watching with friends and family is a blast!
18:32 - That is a nice shot.
The FBI agent at 7:14 was elected Senator the year this movie came out. He was Senator Fred Thompson from Tennessee. He even ran for President in 2008.
I bet there was one angry phone call to his agent after this. Thankfully he got a stint on “Law and Order” eventually. May he rest in peace
🎶Lamb followed her to woik one day, woik one day, woik one dayyyyy,

You know its a good day when channel awesome updates!!
Agreed
1:13 I like how AVGN was like following up with the Mandela effect with people being dropped up for other universes while nostalgia critic is using Occam's razor essentially
A Behind the Scenes Fact: Because John Hughes both wrote and produced the film, he outranked director Patrick Read Johnson. During editing, the two were fighting over the movie while trying to be really nice to each other.
That sounds HILARIOUS TO WATCH!
Sounds like the clash between George Miller and Chris Noonan during the post production of Babe.
This was a go to favorite movie to watch for me as a kid left with a babysitter while my mom was out and this was one in a small handful of kid-friendly VHS tapes my sitter had. The irony is not lost on me.
18:23 NC remembers “You Can’t Do That On Television”!
My understanding of the scene at 14:10 is they started laughing after realizing people were there so as to not draw attention to the reason they screamed. It seems they were playing it off as if they were startled by the gorilla and laughed when they saw it wasn't scary.
He finally did a review on this. I have always loved this movie.
18:16 I sure don’t anymore
I remember watching this movie and it being one of my favorites. The scenes at the zoo with the gorilla and the veterans home are my favorite moments from the movie.
Fun fact about the gorilla suit: The same suit (with some minor adjustments) was used for Gorillas in the Mist!
Another fun fact: Reportedly, one of the "stunt babies" in this film was played by Verne "Mini Me" Troyer. (Hey, a job's a job.)
It's a hit-and-miss movie for me, but I still like it not because of nostalgia, but because it has moments that made me laugh
Me and my brother always quote this movie …”drink ya milk take a nap!’ Hella random but we use to rent this all the time .
This movie alongside Toy Story 2 and Cat in the Hat were my favorites to watch as a kid
Same here since I was an early 2000s kid
I remember watching this movie in the 90's after renting it at a Blockbuster *because* it reminded me of Home Alone, and I also remember rewinding the scene where Joe Mantegna gets stomped to put out the fire at least 3 times because I was dying laughing at it. Because, you know, to a teenage boy that is the HEIGHT of hilarity. But I remember what really sent me over the edge laughing was that guy afterwards going:
Clueless Henchmen: "And THAT'S how you put out a campfire!"
Joe Mantegna: "Did you roast marshmallow over a pile of FLAMING GONADS?!?!?"
CH: "Uh...we usually used logs."
I don't know why but that made it about 10x funnier to my teenage brain at the time.
This movie is the definition of a fever dream
So glad this guys is still going 😂 I thought we were stuck with him just doing regular reviews. Love you either way Nostalgia Critic
I saw 1 part of this movie on TV back when I was a high school freshman. Several years later, I saw the full movie on DVD.
My grandma used to love this movie, so I did grow fond of it. One thing that always stood out for me is the score at the beginning of the scene at the construction site with that very Johann Strauss-esque waltz done beautifully by Bruce Broughton, the same guy that did the Tiny Toon Adventures' music.
19:00 I'm pretty sure that's the same guy from Ducan's Toychest from Home alone 2
the only weird thing about the monopoly monocle is that in Ace Ventura 2 he refers to the guy with a monocle as The Monopoly Guy
22:43
Chaplin was pretty curious. "Wat iz my hooman doing now?"
The nanny is a better mother than the actual mother.
I’m surprised you haven’t reviewed this movie around the time you also reviewed many terrible movies from the 1990’s (before you met Malcolm or Rachel). Speaking of the 90’s, please review James Cameron’s “Titanic”! It was the film of dreams, it was, it really was. 😊
I met Joe Mantegna's wife and daughter back in 2011 and they managed to get him to send an autograph to me and my brother
17:47 DEAD..
I love how James Rolfe did an ENTIRE episode making fun of the Berenstain Bears theory, only for Doug Walker to perfectly disprove the conspiracy theory in just 5 seconds
20:06 If i had been the main villian in that moment. I would have yelled SURE THING OFFICER!!! I'LL BRING IT RIGHT DOWN!!!! and then i would climb out the window while carrying the booboo and splatter myself on the sidewalk in front of them. Why? because i would rather be damned to hell than condemned to god knows how long in prison for kidnapping a millionaire's baby.
"Baby's Day Out is as interesting as my taint." - Mr. Plinkett
Fuck the pain away
I’m surprised this wasn’t done years ago. I remember one of the stars the critic mentioned this movie when he was doing the home alone 3 review mentioning John Hughes movies.
It was one of the first movies i ever watched. Such good memories❤
Remember, Joe Pantoliano won an Emmy for his work in The Sopranos
It's kind of interesting for me to see what people considered are a childhood classic from a certain decade and what also isn't a childhood classic from that same decade
As a kid I actually enjoyed this film.
This brings back old memories, i used to watch this movie as a kid
18:05 I'm just as surprised as you are they didn't follow the crotch-shot with another crotch-shot here. Give the movie SOME credit for having...a MODICUM of restraint. XD
Meanwhile, this is basically just all those older cartoons where there's an episode where the baby gets in to hilariously dangerous hijinx whilst the main characters try to stop the baby killing itself, only for the baby to survive by complete bullshit logic. Gonna be honest...never did care for that trope; it just makes me feel sorry for the protagonist who has to look after the little crotch-goblin. :/
I remember watching this once when I was on holiday. For the life of me I couldn't remember the name until I discovered the internet. In fact I confused it with "Three Men and a Baby", a film that was actually well received and a box office hit and came out seven years earlier.
What I like about this movie is its an adorable live action Road Runner cartoon with a baby.
Joe Pantoliano's character always reminded me of the guy from Oliver and Company, you kinda get the feeling he doesn't want to go through with the plan
You mean Fagin?
When I was young we had a babysitter, let's call her "Darlene". This was her absolute favorite movie, but we all hated it and so did our parents. To this day we still refer to low brow slapstick comedies like this as "Darlene Movies"
I am honestly surprised there are not more piss or poop jokes in this movie
I guess potty humor wasn't really a Hallmark in John Hughes movies
Yet there were plenty of crotch shots. 🤨
22:35 I won't. I'm just gonna take your word for it.
Not gonna lie this movie is underrated
All movies from the 90s are.
@@chasehedges6775that I will agree
I thought for a second in a very meta way NC was subtlety introducing Mandella effects in this review with the line "Russ Stedman's Animal Farm" and I was thinking "that was George Orwell?" Turns out Stedman did the illustrated book.
And the reason so many think Doug reviewed this movie before is because
1.) Red Letter Media has reviewed it
And
2.) Doug included clips of it during his Siskel and Ebert retrospective.
I still laugh a lot when I watch this movie. But I am surprised you didn't mention that Vern Troyer was the baby stunt double and didn't use a mini me joke.
The first time I ever saw this was my first time going to the cinema with my Dad and it was one of the best memories I have of him because it's also the earliest memory that showed me despite his hard-ass, old-school exterior. He loved to laugh at ridiculous movies. He liked Home Alone enough, but thought Kevin was too much of a smartass. But this, Mr. Bean and Dennis the Menace were movies that he would always be happy to sit down and watch with us kids. I miss him every day
21:34 Why does Pikachu not have that black tip at his tail?!! That much yellow is so distracting! Is he a Simpsons character now?!! Is that three-eyed fish actually a Pokemon itself? Simpsons came out with Pokemon first but we just missed it?😮......
Since Pikachu appears in the Simpsons and is also yellow like the humans on the show, does that mean that Pikachu is just a mutated human (in the Simpons universe)?
Nobody I ever talk to never thought Pikachu had a black tip at the end of his tail. I mean for crying out loud he appeared in 1236 episodes, 22 movies and much more yet people swear on their life about a small detail which never existed?
I love how the Mandela effect is named after people misremembering Nelson Mandela's death in the 80s, an event that would have shifted global politics if true. Yet the best examples anyone can come up with are their own flawed memories of spelling or grammar
Love you guys! You have helped me through several difficuly spots!❤❤❤❤❤❤
6:58 Al Capone: Release that audition tape, Mister Critic, and I will introduce you to twenty of my little friends from the Tommy Gun Club
