"Even Old Mr. Walrus is Cryin'"
We all are, Mr. Walrus, we all are.
Tears of joy as we run through balloon land!
Theyre so gay!
Not me. I'm HAPPY!! So so happy...
Koo koo ca boo hoo man
@@jonathanwarrdddedcxddeecec4787 I am the walrus. Boo-hoo ka-choo
Somewhere, a young John Wayne Gacy watched this, looked at his clown doll, and thought: 'I know what I want to do with my life.'
Patrick Starr: I know what I wanna do today (🎈✨).
And then he started bumming little boys while dressed as a clown 🤡 killed them then Bury them under his house..yeah I can see why now..lol.
Are we sure that the Sea King isn’t actually gacy
Little Loud Actual Lee John Wayne Gacy would have been a grown man when this movie came out.
@@justindenney-hall5875 I really thought your comment was pedantic and then I realised that my comment would have been just as pointless.
JWG never Killed anyone in his clown outfit, that we know of...
Cheers to you.
Fun in FUCKING-NOPE Land
I'm just picturing this as child Tommy Wiseau's favorite movie.
Jedi Marhwini 😂😂😂😂😂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. My College Club that I'm in is obsess with Tommy Wiseau. LMAO!!!
Narrator: Look at the dog! Why he's almost as wide as some city streets!
Little Tommy: Hi Doggy!
Narrator: He looks fierce but he doesn't frighten me...
Little Tommy: He's just a chicken! CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP!!!
Jedi Marhwini I imagine Tommy Wiseau looked exactly the same as he does now when he watched this aged 4
“You are tearing me apart, Balloon Land!”
+Jedi Marhwini So anyway, how's your sex life?
"STOP FUCKIN' THE BALLONS" Perfection.
Well, it’s time for my annual Thanksgiving rewatch of this absolute masterpiece
Same
@@alistermycroft7898 .....Why would you do that to yourself? Oo
On the Fun in Balloon Land RiffTrax, the final riff of the film, which happens immediately after the end credits finish, perfectly describes everyone's opinion after they see the film:
"Okay, seriously. What the hell was that?"
The guys going insane dealing with the narrator is the best part
“Old McDonald lives in hell, because of giant stupid balloons.”
@Joey Torrieri Where can you find it?
@Joey Torrieri I'm watching it right now and it's very weird. Were it not for Rifftrax, I would truly believe this was a snuff film.
It was the greatest non birthday day, when I discovered that Rifftrax had hit this one over the head too!!
I saw The Snob review first, and I know comparing only starts arguments, so I'll just say yay yay!
Seriously though, both versions are must see, with the rifftrax one coming in at around an hour!!
I just watched them back to back and besides the Zapruder joke, I can't remember any other overlapping riffs.
Like I said, see both versions.
Drugs not included but why not bring em along?
At worst, you could trade them with the denizens of Balloon land, to make your escape ;)
Cheers from Canada
This is what's wrong with the kids today: a lack of good old-fashioned nightmare fuel.
They did end up to be a hateful, racist bunch. Didn't they?
@@mr.pavone9719 seek therapy
@@mr.pavone9719 well a kid did call me n****** so....
@@dragonempress8367 A nagger? Yeesh, that kid must have gone to Wheel of Fortune!
If you want good nightmare fuel, watch an 80’s kids movie, like “The Brave Little Toaster” or “The Black Cauldron.”
13:34 "STOP F--KING THE BALLOONS!!!" Easily one of my favorite remarks in a Snob review...
still is.
The Cinema Snob reacting over and to the parade narrator is some of the funniest stuff he has done.
STOP FUCKIN' THE BALLOONS!
Somehow the parade has something genuinely depressing and haunting about it, like some funeral or something
It looks like no one's having fun
I’m embarrassed by how many times I watched this without noticing all the details.
Then I saw the 19th Street sign and it finally smacked me in the face. It’s in Philly! Specifically Benjamin Franklin Parkway at Logan Circle. I’ve even been part of parades on that route. Of course, by that decade, the trees were larger and fuller, but the sign was the same.
Good gawd! 🤦🏾♀️🤭
"STOP FUCKING THE BALLOONS!!!" 🎈🎈🎈🎈
These are the *actual* balloons the Oogieloves were looking for.
Is that how the Oogieloves procreate?
Plz stop with the Oogieloves comparions.😵😦😨
@@patchchristyou’re right… what if Nukie landed in BalloonLand?
@@prolevelcallout4597Their creepiness would cancel out or create a black hole.
The film that makes David Lynch look like a Rankin/Bass Christmas special!
Amusingly enough this is a lot like what I think a Christmas movie by David Lynch would be like.
@@wolverineminer WOW SNOB WOW!
That is an insult to David Lynch! David Lynch wouldn't even be attached to this cinematic fecal matter! And if it was, he probably had a gun to his head, his dog's head, and the cast of Twin Peaks held at ransom!
David Lynch already made three kids’ movies.
Not really kids’ movies but movies that are not rated R.
These are The Elephant Man (PG but from a time before PG-13), Dune (one of the first PG-13 films but had kiddy marketing, and despite getting a PG rating in Australia, the M-rated 2021 remake is much less grotesque than the Lynch version) and The Straight Story (a G-rated Disney film from David Lynch but it’s still a slow arthouse drama more meant for adults).
The theme song has NO BUSINESS sounding this creepy. It sounds like a creepy tune an ice cream truck plays in the neighborhood.
forget the ice cream truck, this is the anthem of a serial killer who slaughtered 12 children... limb by limb xD
@@ludocrious7898Naw, this would be the theme of a John Wayne Gacy biopic.
@@Lobsterwithinternet perhaps
@@ludocrious7898 Or maybe a movie about the Toybox Killer.
@@Lobsterwithinternet who's that?
That Parade looked sad. The sky was cloudy, the weather definitely cold judging from what people were wearing, it all looked so grey and if there wasn't a big marching band, then you only saw a few random people on street.
No wonder Gimbles went out of business if this is the kind of parade they were running
Right? Literally no one looked like they were having fun.
So that's why people did all those drugs in the Sixties. They watched _Fun in Balloon Land_ and thought, "Welp, a three-day mescaline-LSD-and-Night-Train bender couldn't possibly be as horrifying as this."
To forget the horrors of which they witnessed.
Oh yes...They FLOAT!
TrueBlueProductions THEY ALL FLOAT!
I'm getting surprisingly aroused at how much they float!
And when you watch this film............YOU'LL FLOAT TOO!!!!!
wa ha, wa ha, wa ha, wa ha!
"I'll show ya how to floooaaat down here.. THEY ALL floooooaaaaat down here!!
"Just because his name is Albert Fish doesn't mean you're under the sea!!" Damn, Brad. That was a... really dark reference, even for you. Made me laugh regardless though!
Doug? Wtf?
@@PajamaManor Oops. Sorry Brad! Can't believe I called him Doug. Forgot which dang channel I was watching for a second apparently!
Deep Cut!
@@Pocketrocket-pj1us Of course, those are Fish's favorite kind.
"Fun in baloon land" sounds like a Five Nights at Freddys spinoff game
I've never been particularly interested in playing Five Nights at Freddy's however, I would play the fuck out of a mashup of it with Fun In Balloonland
There's a character called Balloon Boy in FNAF, it could fit perfectly on this movie.
Five Nights in Balloon Land
Oh shoot, Balloon Boy got his own game!
Oh hell no...don't mesh Satan Animatronics and Satan balloons.i refuse
"This whole song is sung like some drunk guy, keeping himself entertained, while he stumbles down the street and passes out in a dumpster..." X-DDD
I just think of that scene in Drunken Master where Jackie Chan is drunk and singing to himself.
Can confirm.
Or the tune that a psycho sings to someone lost in the dark
The parade narrator it's drunk too.
Watched this review for the first time as a hs sophomore, am now 21 and fulfilling my lifelong dream of watching it while stoned. Damn time flies
This what happens if the Oogieloves was directed by Stanley Kubrick
Or by David Lynch
I was thinking a stoned Tim Burton with assistance from Cheech, Chong and Tommy Wiseau.
I second David Lynch
this s is fd up
No, that means that the movie would be good.
This is what happens if the Oogieloves was directed by Eric Stolz in his basement in Butterfly Effect movie. As Snob said.
I'm sorry Stephen King, for thinking balloons aren't scary...I'm so sorry.
Now I know
Oh
*NOW I KNOW*
The more you know 🌈⭐️
@@jacksongibbs8998 NO
Maybe that's what the deadlights looks like when someone stares too deep in his eyes
I like what you did there
@@Jerk7891 thanks
That Albert Fish joke made me lose my shit, that was hilarious.
This is easily one of my favorite Cinema Snob reviews.
Sonamyfan875 Same.
IIRC, this was one of the first few Snob reviews I ever saw
grizzly II is my favorite, but we won't be seeing it anytime soon.
Me too. This movie is just so weird.
This one's opening line is my favourite from any of his reviews.
That Carolina reaper chip was so spicy, it caused Brad to hallucinate about Balloon Land again.
The theme song sounds like something you’d play on repeat to drive the people you have locked in your basement insane
They probably made it that way on purpose so they could use it as punishment when the kids were naughty... Or perhaps not naughty enough... I don't know how it works with weirdos like that.
Fun in Balloon Land's production value screams
RELATIVES (that own balloon parade) : Hey, Johnny you wrote that book in pre-school and you like movie production, could you do this for the family business?
JOHNNY: I have ideas that could make it good if you want me to direct it.
RELATIVES: We have a camcorder and 5$ could you make that work for us?
JOHNNY: I don't know. Sounds pretty limiting.
RELATIVES: Come on, we'll pay for lunch at Ruby Tuesdays!
JOHNNY: fine. (then whispers) I hope to God no one sees this shit.
then the UNCLE (the voice behind the first giant balloon) ends up directing it when there are creative differences. Johnny still gets RUBY TUESDAYS but can't order any drink beyond water.
I'll have you know we went to Golden Corral.
Jared Jams FWIW, I’m pretty sure the Sea King is the Uncle in this scenario.
Johnny: I’ve made a terrible mistake.
They actually would've used a Super 8 home movie camera, but the rest of your scenario sounds fairly accurate.
So... this is what Gacy's Thanksgiving Day Parade looks like.
Yes, but only in paedophilia. Whoops, I mean Philadelphia.
"STOP FUCKING THE BALLOONS!"
I died.
One of my absolute Cinema Snob favourites.
Nostalgic, creepy as hell, cheesy, disturbing, for kids. And all garnished with the Snob's disgust and disbelief in his typical snobbish way.
A classic to me. Aaaah, thank God I am not a child anymore!
If this movie gets a remake, it should be a horror movie.
IT ISN'T ALREADY?!
It is, but for the wrong reasons.
But that makes it the correct reasons.
Fair enough.
If they TRIED to make it a horror movie, it'd just suck.
Fun in Balloon Land is straight up strange and possibly trauma inducing. It was actually made by Giant Parade Balloons. The only "cast" was Dorothy Brown Green who also narrated the infamous '71 Santa's Christmas Elf(named Calvin).
Super late to this comment, but I THOUGHT I recognized her voice in Calvin from somewhere! She also kinda reminded me of the slightly-sensual narrator from Santa And The Ice Cream Bunny lol
This is the movie they show in Guantanamo Bay when even the prisoners think that someone deserves punishment
"Whole lot of fuck'n NOPE" should be ion a t-shirt!
for some reason, 'Whatever gets their minds off Vietnam, I guess' just made me fucking cackle for minutes.
I’d rather be in Vietnam than in Balloonland.
In a Nopeshell: Nope in Nopeland.
No seriously though is the parade announcer Angela's mom from Sleep Away Camp?? o_0 this explains SO much...
Ha ha awesome!!
It was Angela's aunt. Her father was gay.
Oh no. That just wouldn't do, would it?
I accept this headcanon about Aunt Martha.
I think I saw a bag of chips in the parade! A whole bag!
"Is the dog gay too??" never fails to make me laugh, is one of the many lines that keeps me coming back to this review ❤️
Yup. Still watching this is 2022.
One of my favorites. "Stop fucking the balloons!"
that was legit my text tone for like six months.
Holy crap, I was just about to post the clip online, since I JUST made it my text tone! Never thought I'd come across someone who did the same!
Musashi Before that it was the singing hot dog from Perfect Hair Forever.
This film is scarier than _The Shining._ There, I said it.
That Albert Fish joke was dark as fuck but still made me laugh.
"WHERE TO START WITH THAT FUCKIN' SHIT?!"
Genre-Rama Reviews As perfect as that line was, his stunned face absolutely sold what we all were thinking. Even if you haven't seen the rest of the movie, the song alone was disturbing enough.
Fun in Balloon Land - the film that dares to answer the question: "WHY?"
luisalonsoecheverria
"WHY?"
"Fun In Balloon Land."
"But, again, WHY, *WHY?"*
"Already told you, Fun In Balloon Land."
*"THAT STILL DOESN'T ANSWER MY QUESTION!"*
"Then ask a question that *isn't* just 'Why'."
*"I... JUST... CAN'T!"*
Javier Rico Yeah, pretty much what I had in mind, too! The answer is... Because! 😁
*audience starts booing*
Except there are no answers. Just fear.
Dear Mother of God. This film makes Peppermint Park look like The Last Unicorn!!
I can still remember the first time I watched this, and the whole time I was thinking "This is all going to be a big leadup to an Oogieloves joke, isnt it?"
Oh, no! These are the wrong balloons!
OH, GOD DAMMIT!!!
When are they EVER the right balloons?
GOOFY TOOFY, PICK UP YOUR PANTS!
***** I will STAPLE them to your GODDAMNED ASS!
His voice makes me laugh every time. XDD
I will NEVER get tired of watching this episode. Still don't know what "ducky" means.
It means "good"
Rich Auntie Skeleton It's a Cockney expression. It can also be a term of endearment for a young woman. Jasper used the term derisively in "101 Dalmatians."
Ducky means gay.
Joe Guardino Also "peachy keen". lol Old-timey-speak for "groovy" which was 70s for "kewl", which my phone desperately wants to auto-correct.
Joe Guardino It's all of the Hymenopterae's erogenous zones!
They float...
They all float...
And you will float too.
Dawn Darrell Samaitha
_They're so Gay~!_
“I’m getting surprisingly aroused the more I talk about how much they float.”
-Doug “Nostalgia Critic” Walker
I've already seen this many times but it's one of my favourites so... watching again.
Cheers, Brad.
Isabelle Rayth ditto lol - like awe damn no new review..... but.... it's a classic :-)
same.
Just tagging you to suggest you watch again. This is still peak UA-cam.
13:34 Stop f*ckin' the balloons. - The cinema snob (2014/16).
This is one of my favorite Snob episodes for two reasons; the intro, and "STOP FUCKING THE BALLOONS!"
The "horny" narrator really cracks me up everytime. xD
I love how you made it so hilarious AF, Snob. xD
Damn, that chip was so spicy it made Brad's hair grow back!
The narrator's name is Dorothy Brown Green, who was also in Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny.
REALLY!? I thought she was Aunt Martha from Sleepaway Camp 🤣
I watched the Rifftrax of this high, without realizing it's actually like an hour long. That was a long and terrifying hour.
“Old McDonald lives in hell because of giant stupid balloons.”
And only 13 minuets of that hour are plot relevant
The first time I watched Balloon Land was the Rifftrax version and by the "guessing game" at the end I was legitimately laughing so hard I was crying. It's now become that thing I make anyone who spends the night at my house watch because of pure WTFery.
"I want my mommy!"- Kevin Murphy
“YAY YAY!”
“Are we winning?”
“I DON’T KNOW!”
Is the Lobster named Ouch ?
Fun In Balloon Land should be a horror video game.
It would probably be better than FNAF, (for starters it would be more frightening).
Maybe it could be like temple run on acid? As you run down an endless street of scary balloons, you have to pick up drugs and get them into your system in order to ward off the scary balloons.
I saw this video when Brad originally uploaded it. Ever since then that Balloonland song has been popping up in my head randomly like once every couple months. Thanks, Brad.
Me too
imagine being a child at this time
and your parents give you this cursed video to watch as it morphs your brain into a serial killer
I love how the rest of the time she sounds cheery but then she says “come on, they need encouragement” like she’s threatening the viewer
This episode only comes up late at night, probably the most haunting time to watch
Context
Stop fucking the balloons!
“Don’t you know that in a dream you can do anything?”
So I can dream I escaped Balloonland?
There is no escape from Balloonland.
@@jacksongibbs8998 Well that’s unfortunate.
This is my favorite CS opening of all time. Brad's expression is priceless.
Just because his name is Albert Fish, it doesn't you're under the sea. Lol
Probably my favourite Snob episode to date, so really pleased it's re-uploaded here.
Nightmare fuel, from beginning to end.
My favourite episode!
I sat through all 18 minutes of this. At the end I was making a sound I thought was laughter but was apparently so pained sounding that my poor dog thought I was suffering. She attempted to save me while whimpering and pawing frantically at my face. She then proceeded to bark frantically at nothing.
Moral of the story... do not watch commentary about this slop of a movie unless the dog is unable to hear your soul's torment. Otherwise she will attempt an exorcism then send off the vile spirits to the netherworld.
To The Cinema Snob I have but one thing to say. You, sir, are a saint to have watched the entire thing just to ware the world of this evil force that attempts to torment our souls.
somewhere that boy is a grown up man who wakes up at night hearing that god awful song, incredibly horrified.
He's over 60 now (if, indeed, he wasn't killed immediately after filming). Not even joking.
Was this movie influenced by Stephen King's IT?
THEY FLOAT! THEY ALL FLOAT!!
+stranget92 AND ONCE YOU'RE DOWN HERE, YOU'LL FLOAT TOO!!!! 👹👹👹👹
WUHAAH! WUHAAH! WUHAAH!
Considering that Stephen King's novel is from 1986 and this barrel of nightmare fuel is from 1965, it's probably the other way around.
Kimani Wilson-Hunte Stephen King probably wrote IT after a weed-induced viewing of this movie.
Oh no... IT'S BACK! RUN YOU INNOCENT FOOLS! *RUUUUUN!*
Quick, inside my trash can!!
Or you can hide in my totally not suspicious white van with bloody childeren hands on it?
+Someone Nope.
Last time I did that, you had a bunch of annoying kids in there I had to euthanize.
Took me weeks to wash out that bile.
Oh, and the blood was persistent too.
Does the van come with free candy?
Koen Van Damme Ofcourse... Lots of free candy and ice cream. You only have to ignore the screams of childeren that you hear in the background.
Cinema Snob jumping up and down in his seat is funny as fuck! Brad your a legend.
I feel that the MST3K gang would have a ball with this.
Lego Fan 74 Rifftrax riffed it good.
They did on their spin off show Rifftrax. It’s on Amazon Prime for free.
Edit: not free anymore. :(
Rifftrax tore it apart
Kevin: I WANT MY MOMMY!
Mike: That's what the kids say
Kevin: WHAT KIDS?
@@jacksongibbs8998 But it is on Tubi at the moment. Help us all
I loved this one when I first saw it! "STOP FUCKING THE BALOONS!"
I came back to this review because it made more sense than Santa's Christmas Elf (named Calvin)
The first 20 seconds of this tells you all you need to know.
FUN IN BALLOON LAND was shot in south Philadelphia. Philadelphia should never live this down
I don't know which I'm enjoying more: the Snob or the equally funny comments from his fanbase. Either way, we all win.
This is like something out of a surreal horror movie.
Also the owl, cat, and turkey thing is from a nursery rhyme, I think. Still doesn't explain why there are two balloons of them in this parade though.
Dawn Darrell Samaitha Yeah, they're from "The Owl and the Pussycat," a humorous poem that I believe was written by Ogden Nash. Also, the Walrus and Frog Butler were from Alice in Wonderland.
Andrew Ollmann I see. :D
Thank you. I got the Walrus reference but not the Frog Butler one. So thank you for that.
***** Maybe? Still kind of weird since the Turkey was only referenced at the end of the poem, and isn't the main part of the poem.
Dawn Darrell Samaitha The Frog Butler was from the scene at the Duchess' house in Alice in Wonderland. But it was the Duchess, not he, who sang the "Speak roughly to your little boy and beat him when he sneezes" song.
crescentfreshbret I see. Even the narrator has no idea what she's talking about.
They air this on the Rifftrax channel over on Twitch. Even with the Jokes, it hard to watch but at lease the chat is always great on Balloon land. The other film that is that bad is Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny .
Funny enough, the narrator from Fun in Balloonland is supposedly also in Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny.
Fucking hell, the opening song is what must play when you *enter* Hell.
"You can replace "What are you doing here?" with a clip of Bojack Horseman saying the exact same thing in the exact same tone.
"Stop F***ing the Balloons!" best line
What are the odds Michael Jackson watched this movie on repeat during the holidays or, better yet, Kevin Spacey?
I always come back to this every few months, never fails to make me laugh and shriek in horror.
the narrator sounds like Ricky's mom from Sleepaway Camp
This may sound random, but this the most aesthetically mormon movie I've seen in my life.
Hey Snob, I love your "The Cinema Snob" videos, your cynical, sarcastic and snobby act is always funny.
I don't think this episode took a lot of acting. Just anti-depressants.
Hahaha.
I’ve watched the Rifftrax version of Fun in Balloon land so many times, I almost completely memorized “the guessing game” part. It was beyond weird to hear the “movie’s” audio without Mike, Kevin, and Bill.
That song sounds like something Rose Nylund learned in St. Olaf. Jesus.
Josh Parker I feel like St. Olaf probably did have a parade with all the mistake balloons
St. Olaf AND Hanover (where Woody comes from on Cheers) are both too sophisticated for this :P
This is the best review by Cinema Snob, period.
And I've watched alot of Cinema Snob over the years. Even Russian Hobbit doesn't move me so much and I'm fluent Russian for god's sake.
Who else comes back every thanksgiving?
''STOP FUCKING THE BALLOONS!!'' lol
This was the review that made me a snob fan. A friend showed it to us and the whole room was on the floor crying with laughter by the end of the parade.
This is by far my favorite snob episode.
Well, it’s Thanksgiving. That means it’s time for my yearly rewatch of this legendary gem
