And 8 years later I still find myself rewatching these episodes that brought me so much laughs even at the lowest points in my life.
I can really relate. I find myself coming back from time to time. I hope this necro-post nearly a year later will find you well and with your life in a good place. G'day!
Same here! Especially for one of my favorite NC reviews
Thats a big liped alligator moment
Here, here! Can't watch the newer NC reviews.
Well said.
I've always loved this review because of the sarcasm and the sass Critic used. It's incredible how sarcastic he can be.
I know it's my favorite
Dawn Darrell Samaitha Isn't it the best XD
He was actually dreaming.
Sarcasm doesn't do so well in text, Dawn.
This wasn’t sarcasm he meant all of that GENIUS
13:47 - 14:48
Marvel at the blackness that Nostalgia Critic left at the end of this video. You may think that it's an editing error, but in reality, it's... GENIUS!
Finally, someone else acknowledged how a legitimately talented and versatile actor like Leslie Nielsen basically never turned down a role. He was Nic Cage before Nic Cage.
The minute he said anything positive about Rob Schneider, you can tell something is wrong XD
''What Rob Schneider racist stereotype? I don't see any Rob Schneider racist stereotype.''
Oh don't worry, he just want to see things from the good side.
Especially considering he called him "the Marlon Brando of his generation"
@@jongon0848 I don't know much about Marlon Brando, so how bad is that?
"Rob Schneider… what a twit!" - M. Night Shyamalan
2:37 Notice how Rob Sheridan totally blends in with the other kids in the schoolyard, and doesn't look at all like a 35 year old man who was casted just for the sake of stupid one liners and bad comedy. Genius.
I think he was about 29 or 30 in this
@Myles Brunson Still too old for school.
Learning such chameleon acting from the great Steve Buscemi.
“Bend your knees! Use your arms!” One of the best set of lines of all time.
After all of these years, the "GENIUS!..." clip from 10:19-10:26 is still hilarious.
'Genius' is another way of saying 'Just consume product, and then, get excited for next product.'
lol, Fun fact, I’m from Hawaii. Born and raised and lived in the Islands for 28 of my 38 years. To this very day in 2023, in the Hawaiian Islands phrases like “stylin”, “psych”, “fully”, “those waves are pumping”, “let’s shred” “bitchin”, “gnarly” and “no worries, brah” are still common and widespread and have been so for decades. As a matter of fact, most of those phrases were borne from Hawaii, and California surfing slang lexicon. That said, in places like all of Hawaii and to a lesser extent many parts of SoCal those words are in widespread use.
I've got a fever, and the only prescription, is more GENIUS!
G to the E to the N to the to the IUS... G-G-G-GENIUS!
Cheeseburger Freedom Man read this right as he said it
Jim?
Kamen Rider Build anyone?
Lol, I read this as he said it. And Rabbit! Tank!, Best Match.
Rob Schneider is...a Surf Ninja! Rated PG!
Rob Schneider is
Der der der
Coming soon
At first I thought this was all sarcasm, but then realized it is really in true humble admiration. I rewatched this film just recently and it is an outrageous gem. Probably Rob Schnider's best acting role.
It's also extremely relatable, as my adopted niece just found out that she is really a princess from a far away island and has amazing fighting prowess that had been laying dormant deep inside her until her most previous birthday.
Goodbye, me am Bizzaro Critic. Me forget it so you have to.
Bizarro Critic is one of my favorite Nostalgia Critic villains, right after Melvin brother of the Joker and Shyamalan.
the sarcastic critic
Nuclear Triggered hello I'm the sarcastic critic i pretend to like it so f*ck you
The Sarcritic
The Sarcasticritic.
One might say that the 1-minute black screen that follows this movie might've been a clumsy edeting mistake.
But they don't know that it's actually -- *GENIUS!! :D*
2020 and this review is still.... GENIUS!!
How does the Nostalgia Critic make such funny reviews you may ask... GENIUS!!!
'BROTHERS DON'T SURF! GENIUS!'
That minute of blank silence at the end. RIP Optimus Prime :-(
It's funny how Leslie Nielsen was actually a serious actor before going into comedic movies.
His serious acting is actually what got him into starring in comedies, because of his ability to play the roles completely straight despite how ridiculous they got. Unfortunately, that aspect was dropped in his later comedy films, which resulted in a lot of them not being that funny.
4:48 to be fair, the low angle shot is just cinema 101, Citizen Kane doesn't own it.
It's used in most movies to show the power of a character.
There's actually quite an interesting low angle shot in Heathers, when Heather Chandler dies the camera is a little behind her head on the floor.
Heather's corpse is much larger than Veronica and JD, although at this point she is definitely not more powerful then the two characters.
Her death however, does hold power over these characters, which is what the shot represents.
Critic should totally do a Heathers review.
I bet you're fun at parties.
+L Smith the parties I go to are filled with people who enjoy intellectual discussion, so yes, I am fun at parties.
@@EmmaBonn96 he didn’t claim that CK owned the low angle shot, he was making a stupid parallel between it and this god awful movie as if they were on the same level of cinematic avant-gardism.
The amount of sarcasm is palpable - I never would have imagined that one can eject so much sarcasm that it becomes painful.
I like that.
"It was the most peaceful place on earth *loudest gong ever!*" absolute genius.
Definitely watch Flushed Away!!!! Or Over The Hedge!!
sad fan He did a quick look at both of those during "Dreamworks-uary"
misty lor Why? Both those movies sucked. The former was boring and the latter ruined a good premise with a terrible, cliched story.
I actually really liked this style of review. Maybe doing this style once every 50 or so reviews wouldn't be so terrible. :P GENIUS
This is my guilty pleasure
no regrets
jish32 Likewise.
So, why are you “guilty?”
Why couldn't M. Night Shyamalan hired Rob Schneider to play Sokka in the Last Airbender?
Eric Cruz You should write a horror novel....
Unholy Periodza That would have been worse.
Haven't you heard? M. Night was gonna have Schneider play the Ember Island Player version of him in the 3rd film.
Honestly, I would have prefered that. At least then he would have been less boring.
Rob schneider isnt endearing enough
5 people can't comprehend the GENIUS of this review.
it's funny how he brings up "Apocalypse Now" when paralleling the two scenes of the guys coming up out of the water, but DOESN'T bring up the entire surfing subplot from 'Apocalypse'. "Charlie don't surf"...? nah, "BROTHERS don't surf".
Hard to believe that the nostalgia critic of today was once this funny.
yeah he has lost all the comedic frustration and insanity he used to hone so well.
I loved this movie as a kid.
Bend your knees, use your arms!!!
13:23
Optimus, thank goodness for you being the only one to make this whole review of this Episode of Nostalgia Critic easier to come across and blow over my reactions involving most of shrugging.
I actually really loved this movie.....haha
There was ONE part of the movie that genuinely made me snicker. When Rob Schneider is told to throw the dynamite at the bad guys, and he throws the unlit stick and it happens to knock out the driver, and he cries: "I got one!"
Same. It's pure nostalgia.
Get help.
I loved the sarcasm in this review, withering! He doesn't seem to do that as much nowadays. Not complaining, love me some NC, just an observation.
That must be the longest time a video reached the end before the actual video finished.
Oh, Rob. You and your crazy and lethal antics.
How many villains have been defeated by self-groping these days?
7:52 Funny enough ninjas actually did use explosive a lot more than you think. After all, nothing says' distraction' like a well placed bomb.
This was the first NC video I ever saw!
1:43
Lasercorn, what are you doing in a 90's movie?
Iced Tea w
I accept Optimus Prime as my lord & Saviour.
I've already accepted John 117 into my heart.
More of a Satan guy, personally.
I'm with the Church of Son Goku.
of coruse everyone doe's i belive in him long live the giant speddtti moster
And Michael Bay is THE DEVIL!
So this movie ripped off a rip off of Ninja Turtles and Mortal Kombat?
Mighty Scout As was 3 Ninjas being a rip-off of the Ninja Turtles and Home Alone. Except that in Surf Ninjas, they got Ernie Reyes, Jr. (Keno from TMNT II/Donatello's stunt actor from TMNT [I]) as the main protagonist and his real-life father, Ernie Reyes, Sr. playing his uncle/royal protector in the movie.
Xaviergray87 Yeah I knew that 3 Ninjas was a rip off. But not for all that.
Mighty Scout okay,
***** Please tell me that was a Fallout joke. I loled.
***** lal so faaaaaaany
This level of sarcasm is rarely seen
This review was GENIUS!!!
Rob Schneider is, a NINJA!
And he's about to find out that being a Ninja is not easy!
It's now 2022 , August 2022 and these old episodes are so much better than the new garbage.
Surfing ninjas is what you call "a weird 80s movie combination"
The Critic has such a lovely singing voice
Knock knock
Who's there
GENIUS!
HOLY SHIT!!!! That one kid is Keeno from TMNT II. I didn't know he was in *another* ninja movie.
He was also the kid in the last dragon
Critic, I will pay you to never take off your shirt again
Alex Ramos
Don't watch his Jurassic Park review, then. Nip slip.
Thanks for the warning
You should see his Infamous "I Quit" video.
Well This Machine Kills Or the midnight screenings review of smurfs 2 lol.
When I was 8yrs old my dad took me to see this at the dollar theater here in Shreveport,LA. Good times…
I kept seeing the "Bend yr knees.. " meme in the NC's other reviews and been wondering where it came from. Finally saw this review today. Hilarious stuff lol
This is seriously one of my favorite guilty pleasures. When I was a kid, this was seriously the coolest. I now love it for its cheesiness
I love The Wizard of Oz ending! 😂
When he started singing "Somewhere over the rainbow" i found it cute and wanted to puke at the same time. It was most surreal.
That ending with just him singing in dead silence 🤣🤣🤣
This movie is everything cheap and superficial about the 90s manifested into one film. It looks like nothing more than some film producer somewhere saying: "Dude, I got the perfect movie idea! Get this...we'll combine surfing...with ninjas! Who cares about things like 'plot' or 'character'...surfing and ninjas! That's all we need! It'll make millions!"
Don't forget the magic Game Gear, because kids love video games!
12:04 Of course Rob of all people would be the one to nearly kill Doug.
The level of sarcasm IT´S OVER 9000! But i like it!!!
3:44 - Well, Fracis Ford Coppola did direct "Jack", which is pretty much on par with this.
Fun fact: more time has passed since this episode aired til today, than from when Surf Ninjas released to when this episode aired.
All those years ago we had no idea we were watching "season one" of the nostalgia critic. We were just watching 😢
Tone Loc...oh the 90s...we didn't deserve it!! Last Dragon, Surf Ninjas, TMNT2, The Run Down. Who do they all have in common?
Man that guy hasn't done too many movies, but he sure popped up all over during the 90s and early 2000s.
One of my favorite episodes
Am I the only one here who actually liked this movie, even to this day because of Nostalgia?
I would certainly hope so. It's ABOMINABLY AWFUL!
4:54 That's the best acting I've seen since Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight
Two titans of cinema, Leslie Nielson and....the "You Can Do It" dude. Only in the 90s.
And that's how 'positive' reviews work in a nutshell: you marvel at the beauty, oversee any shortcomings or at least try tie them in to overall message / experience (if it has no message for viewers).
Yes I do accept Optimus Prime as my lord and savor
11:51 That cameo didn't age well. . .
it was so beautiful i cried
This review holds up surprisingly well.
Drinking game: Take a shot everytime Nostalgia Critic says "genius" or puts it on screen.
Oh no, it's Mike Michaud!
Rare cameo, guy has a shit eating grin lmao
I love seeing the Critic sing "Over the Rainbow"
They censored it here...
That would be cool if your new reviews were like this. No skits, just the review.
Pretty sure "black people can't surf" is a logical extension of the "black people can't swim" stereotype...
ccggenius12 there’s a stereotype that blacks can’t swim?
@@abitofananimator5716 Yes
Where have you been? lol
@@GothMermaidGamer I’ve literally never heard anyone say black people are bad swimmers
@@abitofananimator5716 Huh
Well alright then heh
1:23 Yeahhh I remember him from The Rundown!! xD
I never knew the Critic could sing so well
Yeah... um you have to watch his video on Pink Floyd's The Wall
SARCASM OVERLOAD!
It should have been Mike who got shot.
In all honesty, the bit where Schneider throws the unlit dynamite at the goon and knocks him out I find legitimately funny.
surf ninjas may have been cheesie but it's a lot more entertaining than most movies today
Who was the third guy at the end in the background? Sorry. I dont know him.
TheDraygon I'm wondering how much CA's reputation would improve if they got rid of Mike and hired somebody else.
Pocok Mike Michaud.
@thedraygon what did he do?
MrsColedo Look up his profile on google and you'll see for yourself.
MrsColedo For one thing, almost everyone who has left CA (except Spoony and Bhargav) were fired by him for really stupid reasons. Including their PR manager Holly the day after she got out of surgery. They didn't hire a replacement.
He also wouldn't allow Patreon ads in the videos until it got out why he wouldn't and the huge stink it caused forced him to relent.
He also told the producers that they should be grateful for the anniversary movies because CA covered the plane tickets, despite only Doug, Mike, and Rob receiving any profits from the specials.
He (and Rob) is incredibly difficult to communicate with when he needs to be contacted, then complains when the producers don't respond to him immediately.
There are probably a few dozen other horror stories. I actually don't think I've seen a single positive story involving Mike.
Yes Mike, keep looking directly at the camera. It's genius!
Fun Fact: There's actually an Amiga game of the same name very loosely based on this movie. The AVGN reviewed it in his Amiga CD32 episode. It has practically nothing to do with the actual movie!
Oh god, I remember this...
When AVGN played the game and was going to contact someone who watched the movie, I was REALLY hoping for you to make an appearance instead of just a clone of him from his review series. But it's cool you got to be in the AVGN movie which funny enough is how I found out and got into your channel. By the way I watch JonTron, AVGN, and you and your my favorite :3
I grew up with this movie and honestly i enjoyed it even to this day.
Ya same
We all have that movie that everyone hated, me I love grown ups.
The funny thing is that ninja have pioneered the use of gunpowder in Warfare.
Another guilty pleasure for me. I've loved this movie since I was a kid 😊
The implicit irony at minute mark 3:10-3:20 is astounding.
Quite a few of the slang words came back into style somewhat
Seeing the Critic fight this losing battle to defend this film by saying "Genius" over and over again reminds me a lot of Todd Howards' "It just works" mentality for some reason
Citizen Kane's good and all but my favourite films are "Casablanca" and "Dr. Strangelove: or How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb"
You do know at the end of this video that all that defending turns out to be a dream & he actually hated in reality, right?
@@Airsalfies Yeah but it still reminds me of Todd Howards "It just works" mentality in reality
Was that Mike Michaud at the end?
Yes it was. I was shocked too.
Anyone realized NC said "Swing your arms" instead of "Use your arms"?
HE DIED FOR YOUR SINS
John Reviews So he's the diesel of christ?
Tony Davis HELL YEAH
Rodimus Prime’s ongoing nightmare lol
Oh hey Mike Michaud, never thought I'd see you again, after all that drama on that Not So Awesome Google Doc.
This was way before the controversy.
I love Surf Ninjas, it was good retro fun!
No matter what you say I still have always liked this movie. Growing up I always loved surfs ninjas
