Pam is the real villain of this movie, she set up Greg from the start. She could have TRIED to prepare him for her insane family. Also, Pam repeatedly did Greg so dirty during this movie. I recommend the sequel for sure.
WOWWW 😂 Random, but have you seen the video where someone compiled every time Owen Wilson says, 'Wow' in a movie? Whenever I hear his name, that compilation loops in my head lol
To answer George's question about grace, from someone who grew up in a Catholic household: there are certain traditional / historical prayers for saying grace, such as the one that starts "Bless us Oh Lord, and these thy gifts which we are about to receive" etc. etc. But you can also just say a short improv prayer like "Dear God, thank you for this food and keep those whom we love safe" or whatever.
“God is great God is good Let us thank him for our food By his hands We are fed Thank you for our daily bread Amen” Said before every dinner/ supper (for some people every meal). God loves it
Fokker/Focker is a well known Dutch surname. Fokker company well known for aircraft. The name Gaylord existed long before the word "gay" became an orientation in 1970's. Gay used used to mean happy and outgoing.
I flew on a lot of Fokker planes when I lived in Indonesia particularly to eastern parts of the country. (Or it could have been the same one...not recent models but pretty trustworthy!)
Famous British pilot called Douglas Bader in WW2 - he lost his legs after getting shot down but learnt to fly again using prosthetics. Anyway, years after the war he's invited to a girls school to address the students about his experiences “’So there were two of the f***ers behind me, three f***ers to my right, another f***er on the left,’ he told the audience. The headmistress went pale and interjected: ‘Ladies, the Fokker was a German aircraft.’ Sir Douglas replied: ‘That may be madam, but these f***ers were in Messerschmitts’.”
I do like that Jack takes a while to get it through his head his head that he is wrong about Greg, but once he does he behaves (mostly) like an adult about it.
My first serious girlfriends mum gave me a real hard time, I couldn't do anything right and she constantly had to find fault in everything I did. Her dad on the other hand adored me to bits and we still hang out a few times a year even after 10 years 😂
To this day, when I go to an airport, I have that scene stuck in my head: "BOMB BOMB BOMB! BOMB BOMB BA-BOMB!" And I'm like "Don't say it... don't say it...."

You should meet Greg's parents, they're _fun_ and very _accepting_ of others, especially Pam's parents. After that, maybe meet his children in the future.
The sequel is one of those films that surpasses the original. It was so outrageous and one of my favorite experiences in a theater. Also, this lay the foundation for me enjoy super awkward comedy like the Office. Would've watched that show sooner if I would've known that was the type of humor it played with ahaha
You’ll probably really enjoy a lot of British tv shows then, they always lean heavy on the awkwardness. Some of my favourites include The Inbetweeners, The IT Crowd and Peep Show. I enjoy Meet the Fockers as well, but I think the first is still a far better film. 👍
My cat by herself started using the toilet ..just one morning got up an she was standing on the seat with her back legs and front on the tank and just let it flow lol
Pam is the absolute worst. For the following reasons: Didn't at least warn Greg about her dad Lied to her parents about them cohabitating Doesn't tell Greg she used to be engaged Was not sympathetic about Greg having to borrow Jack's clothes Let's him sleep in while everyone is up and eating breakfast, thus making him look like an asshole Makes Greg borrow clothes from her brother without introducing them first Doesn't tell Greg that Kevin is the best man and they are having a BBQ at his house Is on Kevin's team during volleyball where she calls her ex old nicknames and also tells him that Greg is scared of the ball Volunteers Greg to find Mr Jinx putting even more pressure on him Does not have Greg's back when everything goes to shit and let's him leave F Pam!!!!
There was a Christian Rap band back in the 90’s named DC Talk. They had a song Day by Day. The awkward dinner prayer? Yeah, those were actually song lyrics.
Love this movie! My grandpa passed away a year or so before this movie came and Robert DeNiro characteristic as the dad is exactly like my grandpa. You fuck with my family ill mess you up attitude but super cool person overall lol
I have been lucky in the sense that all my girlfriends since high school (4 serious ones), the parents especially the mom has been very sweet and friendly, I did how ever get the threatening talk on the first date of one, but after getting to know him I understood that was just his humor. but I didnt tempt that 🤣🤣
hhah yea PAM is really a villian and they do go overboard on some scenes, BUT george had the best reactions to GREG's real name and that line about the real owner of that luggage and his "toys" with a party🤩
I was a troublemaker when my (now) wife started dating in highschool. So, I was trying to be cool 😎 and my then gf and I went to a nature park to smoke. Cops>arrest>they let her go. So, my first meeting was them telling me that "never again" could anything like that happen. They were nice about it and it never happened again. That was almost 26 years ago and we're still going strong! We're going to visit her dad and stepmom in Nashville in a few weeks. So, it probably shouldn't have worked out but it did.
13:33 Unfortunately it is the same. I live with my grandparents and my aunt visited once and they made her and her husband sleep in seperate rooms because they couldn't trust they wouldn't try and have sex... silently... lol
Girlfriend was such a red flag for this film. It's funny to watch as a comedy due to the situations it leads to, but she just ends up being the most unsupportive oblivious set you for failure partner that Greg should have 100% walked away from.
Liking dogs has to be learned. I grew up in a neighborhood where dogs weren’t allowed and no one who was raised there liked dogs at all. The first time I ever had physical contact with a dog I was almost 11 years old and it was trying to kill me. I didn’t have my first positive thought about a dog until I was in my early-30s.
Once dated a girl thats father was a youth minister. I wasnt allowed at her house unless he was home. And the only places we were allowed to be were on the couch or front porch.
Since you mentioned about poster name alignment. Apparently it comes from early-ish years of cinema, as a compromise for "top billing" one actor whould get their name top left, so as to be read first. And the other thier face most to the left so it is seen first. This patten is used with the addition of top to bottom for multiple fetured actors. So top left to bottom right, with bottom rights name at the top left... Yeah... 😅
I find it funny them getting mad at Pam for volunteering him for everything. That’s what it’s like being married. Get volunteered all the time especially to the in-laws
@@graham974 yeah I didn’t want to seem sexist and just say women but in my anecdotal experience every woman I’ve ever known and dated loved to volunteer me for anything and everything 🤣
I'd rather die than have a catheter inside my boy parts. It's my life mission to never have a catheter installed. I also will never check baggage either. All I need is a backpack, even if I'll be gone for a week or more!
"bless us oh lord and these thy gifts, which we are about to receive from thy bounty, through christ, our lord. amen". Every catholic has that indelibly stamped into their brain.
Once went out with a girl whose dad flew out her ex boyfriend a week after. Is that protective or just toxic rich people stuff? You guys might love the second movie.
Pam was a terrible partner. She set him up for failure and never took up for him. Everyone other than the mom was an miserable a-hole. All horrible people. That said, Greg should have told him "only one way to find out" when Deniro asked "Could you milk me?" That's the response.
Yes I have George. She was gorgeous and blone and top teir and her Dad was a biker. He said don't kiss my daughter and blah blah blah, I stopped listening after that. We went to Homecoming and we were making out in his kitchen. He came over from a neighbors bonfire to spy on us and called me up to make us break up. Dumbest situation I've ever been in.
This is the thing about this movie. Idky you would want to marry into this family still, after everything the girlfriend & her family have done to you?
I didn't know George wasn't his real name. Is that a common thing for some Asian individuals? Is it similar to how Jackie Chan first name isn't Jackie in Chinese. It's an English name that people who aren't Asian will be able to pronounce?
I’ve noticed this about Chinese people,this practice of taking an English first name so that English speakers will be able to pronounce it correctly.When l was in Hong Kong,l noticed various Chinese people who worked in hotels had English first names.
@@BarryHart-xo1oy Not just Chinese, but generally anyone originally from a country whose language doesn't match up linguistically with english. Knew 2 brothers in high school that came from Taiwan, and their english names were Cedric and Harold
To me, this is one of the most hilarious films of all time. So underrated, I guess some people just can’t watch awkward comedy. You should definitely watch Meet the Fockers as well, but skip Little Fockers, terrible film. 👍👍
I think ppl forget this film is also a take on the social differences between middle and upper class families. Often, upper class families have a stronger sense of family and less privacy as they want to keep everything (wealth) in the family, whereas Greg, coming from a middle/working class family, is more individualistic. Sure, Pam could’ve told Greg about her family and past, but that comes with the obliviousness that upper class ppl have towards middle and lower class people. They just assume everything will be fine because in their world, due to wealth and privilege, everything is always fine. Deep down, Pam knew this, but she didn’t know how to address it. I mean she literally took a career as a teacher, a profession that doesn’t pay well at all. All I’m saying is ppl have been too hard on Pam, just to give the film a villain, when no one is right or wrong, ppl are just different and that’s what Jack and his family had to accept and Pam had to realize.
A friend of mine had his girlfriends father write a 5 figure cheque for him to split up with her and leave her alone....they're still together and he never took the money
Got my first gf at 24, and she was 21. She was still living with her parents at the time, and one day she invited me over to her place for lunch and meet her parents. Of course, her father mean mugged me the entire time, but her mom is genuinely interested in what I do for a living. Her and her mother go to the kitchen for a moment when her dad sits me down with a serious look. He pulled out a gun and set it down, facing me, I guess trying to prove some point or something. My 'tism activates, I thought he was inviting me to the same....so I placed my gun on the coffee table too. God bless the Midwest.
Gaylord was more popular name between 1850 - 1950 , its Celtic origin Gaillard , got a bit twisted when made English. As family name its rare , one report said there was about 80 Gaylord families living in NY in 1830 and that 1/3 of all families known with that name in world. Must been a clerical error as with many immigrants, it's even in Godfather 2, they did wrote as family name the city they come from .
I always thought Pam being so oblivious to the awkwardness of all the situations Greg was in when dealing with her family and how unsupportive she was in trying to make him comfortable, would have been the biggest red flag for me if I were in his position.
Totally. For the sake of the joke they made the character so completely unrealistic. It made it hard for me to enjoy this movie because I'm just constantly thinking, 'wow this woman would be a terrible partner, why does he want to marry her?'
Her and the romantic interest in Anger Management are the two people who the main characters of the movie deserve to dump 100%. If you never saw Anger Management she basically has him tortured by this guy and put through hell to force him to propose, they had zero issues she just wanted him to propose and decided getting him beat up arrested and making him think she left him was the best way.
Dude... she tells him to lie about their living situation literally a split second before meeting him. She casually tosses out Greg's hatred for cats even though she's well aware of Jack's relationship with Jinxy. She sucks.
The actor who played the mother is Blythe Danner who is Gwyneth Paltrow's mom.

DeNiro had a movie with Anna Hathaway where he was a nice man. No angryness no secret background just a nice elderly man in an intern job. :D (The Intern)
That little girl George said speaks like a 20 yr old is actually my older sister! She learned to speak very early and was very eloquent at a young age 😂. Love the channel and great reaction! (Also, if anyone wants to feel old, that little girl is now 34 with a little girl of her own!)
I'm so glad yall also dislike Pam. You're 100% right she's setting him up to fail! lol Fun reaction. The next one is good too! Frustrating in similar ways.
Yeah Pam is the real villain in this movie. She can't be adult enough to be honest with her parents or Greg creating this whole web of mistrust yet some how escaping any blame for it. Red flag in a person you're thinking of proposing to honestly.
22:20 I finally got an answer to my question (whether George was your name given at birth). I wonder what your name is and how it is pronounced. Is it difficult because we don’t use the sounds in English and/ or could you spell it in such a way that an English speaker could “sound it out”? Did you choose George or did your parents decide? Edit: for example, Xi’An is close to how you would pronounce my name in English
He said he was born in China and moved to Canada when he was in HS or something. It’s safe to assume his given name was not George lol. I’m Korean American and a lot of times when East asians immigrate to an English speaking country, we’re given a list of standard Anglo names to choose from and we just go with the simplest ones to pronounce tbh. I chose John for that reason
@@saltycalmonds When I was a kid, I knew a girl my age who had an easy-to-pronounce Korean first name. It was so weird to me when, in her teens, she suddenly changed it to a more European one. I mean, even the _spelling_ of her Korean name was easy! Although I guess it might have been non-obvious to an English speaker who hadn't yet been told the correct spelling.
I know a guy named Chu Min, and everyone calls him Chewie. He even introduces himself as such. He became a doctor, though with his demeanour you would never guess.
@@saltycalmonds I knew of other examples of this (Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and others). I asked in a different video if George was his real name. While I have no bad intentions in asking that I’m sure there are people who would find me “assuming” his first name isn’t George offensive.
I haven’t met an overly protective parent, but I did meet a scary one. I was dating a Russian girl when I was younger, and when I went to pick her up for a date, her father opened the door and MAN, dude made me feel small. I’m 6’2 and I had to look up at him, and the guy was JACKED. Needless to say, me and her didn’t last long😂
@@johnmguzman7491 I mean, just be friendly and understand that their is going to be a culture barrier if you aren’t Russian or understand their culture well, especially Russians who come from the rural areas or the cities. Family also means EVERYTHING to them as well. Just be friendly and open minded and you shouldn’t have a problem. Jokes aside, me and her didn’t last long because we both went off to different colleges.
The bloopers for this movie are fun to watch. De Niro helpless with laughter at something Stiller did is a sight to behold. 😂
The final bit with Greg talking ish to a mirror always seemed like an homage to De Niro in Taxi Driver.
'Is this a good movie?'
'Does a bear crap in the woods outside of Simones house?'
Pam is the real villain of this movie, she set up Greg from the start. She could have TRIED to prepare him for her insane family.
Also, Pam repeatedly did Greg so dirty during this movie. I recommend the sequel for sure.
not the whole family, just the father.
Exactly I can't see how ppl can see otherwise, it's insane
Yes! It annoyed me so much. I kept wondering if she was just trying to make Owen Wilson jealous.
Greg should have RUN FOR THE HILLS away from them.
@@Sirala6 Well, watching Little Fockers, I think he led a pretty good life.
Today I learned George's name is not George, it is unpronounceable Chinese for Gaylord.
Owen Wilson carving the altar out of one piece of wood is just so damn funny! Kills me every time.
His smug humblebragging was so pitch-perfect, anyone who's met that kind of person knows he nailed it.
WOWWW 😂 Random, but have you seen the video where someone compiled every time Owen Wilson says, 'Wow' in a movie? Whenever I hear his name, that compilation loops in my head lol
Ben Stiller is the king of awkward moments and this film highlights them so well.
To answer George's question about grace, from someone who grew up in a Catholic household: there are certain traditional / historical prayers for saying grace, such as the one that starts "Bless us Oh Lord, and these thy gifts which we are about to receive" etc. etc. But you can also just say a short improv prayer like "Dear God, thank you for this food and keep those whom we love safe" or whatever.
As a guy who grew up in an Episcopalian household, I concur and can verify this practice. We had to hold hands as well.
“God is great
God is good
Let us thank him for our food
By his hands
We are fed
Thank you for our daily bread
Amen”
Said before every dinner/ supper (for some people every meal). God loves it
Good bread, good meat, good God, let’s eat!
Not to be used without knowing the other people round the table. 😮
Also, the "day by day" prayer he improvised was actually lyrics from the musical Godspell.
It was the lyrics from the song playing in the convenience store when he went with Jack to the store.
Fokker/Focker is a well known Dutch surname. Fokker company well known for aircraft.
The name Gaylord existed long before the word "gay" became an orientation in 1970's. Gay used used to mean happy and outgoing.

Fokker is a swear word in my home language 😂 in english it means “fu**er”.
@@davidkerr885 LOL! Ah, British wit can be amazing.
The studio didn't want them to use Focker as a surname, so the producers ran a "contest" in the US to prove at least one person had that legal name
I do like that Jack takes a while to get it through his head his head that he is wrong about Greg, but once he does he behaves (mostly) like an adult about it.

So many reactions of this film has come out from different UA-camrs in the last week or 2 How does that work?
While I've seen these movies before i can thankfully say that my wife's dad wasn't over protective like Robert deniro is in the first movie
Imagine if she said no after all that? 😁🤣
Hi George & Simone, how about reacting to Meet The Fockers & Little Fockers down the road, cool reaction as always, you take care and have a nice day

Often, upper class families have a stronger sense of family and less privacy as they want to keep everything (wealth) in the family, whereas Greg, coming from a middle/working class family, is more individualistic. Sure, Pam could’ve told Greg about her family and past, but that comes with the obliviousness that upper class ppl have towards middle and lower class people. They just assume everything will be fine because in their world, due to wealth and privilege, everything is always fine. Deep down, Pam knew this, but she didn’t know how to address it. I mean she literally took a career as a teacher, a profession that doesn’t pay well at all. All I’m saying is ppl have been too hard on Pam, just to give the film a villain, when no one is right or wrong, ppl are just different and that’s what Jack and his family had to accept and Pam had to realize.
A friend of mine had his girlfriends father write a 5 figure cheque for him to split up with her and leave her alone....they're still together and he never took the money
Got my first gf at 24, and she was 21. She was still living with her parents at the time, and one day she invited me over to her place for lunch and meet her parents. Of course, her father mean mugged me the entire time, but her mom is genuinely interested in what I do for a living. Her and her mother go to the kitchen for a moment when her dad sits me down with a serious look. He pulled out a gun and set it down, facing me, I guess trying to prove some point or something. My 'tism activates, I thought he was inviting me to the same....so I placed my gun on the coffee table too.
God bless the Midwest.
I cannot fucking wait for you both to meet his parents. 😂
Let’s Meet the Fockers! 😂 Gay’s parents are pretty great.
Focking*
😂
Gaylord was more popular name between 1850 - 1950 , its Celtic origin Gaillard , got a bit twisted when made English.
As family name its rare , one report said there was about 80 Gaylord families living in NY in 1830 and that 1/3 of all families known with that name in world.
Must been a clerical error as with many immigrants, it's even in Godfather 2, they did wrote as family name the city they come from .
Dustin Hoffman had me in stitches playing Greg's dad.
"YOU TRIED TO MILK HIM YOU SICK SON OF A.." One of my favorite lines in a movie ever
I always thought Pam being so oblivious to the awkwardness of all the situations Greg was in when dealing with her family and how unsupportive she was in trying to make him comfortable, would have been the biggest red flag for me if I were in his position.
Totally. For the sake of the joke they made the character so completely unrealistic. It made it hard for me to enjoy this movie because I'm just constantly thinking, 'wow this woman would be a terrible partner, why does he want to marry her?'
She totally throws him under the bus at every opportunity
@@ianmaddox5121 she must suck a mean one lol
Her and the romantic interest in Anger Management are the two people who the main characters of the movie deserve to dump 100%. If you never saw Anger Management she basically has him tortured by this guy and put through hell to force him to propose, they had zero issues she just wanted him to propose and decided getting him beat up arrested and making him think she left him was the best way.
Dude... she tells him to lie about their living situation literally a split second before meeting him. She casually tosses out Greg's hatred for cats even though she's well aware of Jack's relationship with Jinxy. She sucks.
"ate away your organs..like an unstoppable rebel force..." kills me everytime
"That was beautiful, yet oddly specific...."
Now y'all have to watch Meet the Fockers
Why? They seemed to miss so much humor in this classic
The actor who played the mother is Blythe Danner who is Gwyneth Paltrow's mom.
DeNiro had a movie with Anna Hathaway where he was a nice man. No angryness no secret background just a nice elderly man in an intern job. :D (The Intern)
That little girl George said speaks like a 20 yr old is actually my older sister! She learned to speak very early and was very eloquent at a young age 😂. Love the channel and great reaction!
(Also, if anyone wants to feel old, that little girl is now 34 with a little girl of her own!)
If you think Robert Deniro saying "can you milk me" is good, you should see his character in Stardust (2007). 😂
"I have nipples Greg, could you milk me." Is a line that will live in your head for years once you watch this movie.
I'm so glad yall also dislike Pam. You're 100% right she's setting him up to fail! lol Fun reaction. The next one is good too! Frustrating in similar ways.
Yeah Pam is the real villain in this movie. She can't be adult enough to be honest with her parents or Greg creating this whole web of mistrust yet some how escaping any blame for it. Red flag in a person you're thinking of proposing to honestly.
Yes I would 100% break it off with Pam
22:20 I finally got an answer to my question (whether George was your name given at birth). I wonder what your name is and how it is pronounced. Is it difficult because we don’t use the sounds in English and/ or could you spell it in such a way that an English speaker could “sound it out”? Did you choose George or did your parents decide?
Edit: for example, Xi’An is close to how you would pronounce my name in English
He said he was born in China and moved to Canada when he was in HS or something. It’s safe to assume his given name was not George lol. I’m Korean American and a lot of times when East asians immigrate to an English speaking country, we’re given a list of standard Anglo names to choose from and we just go with the simplest ones to pronounce tbh. I chose John for that reason
@@saltycalmonds When I was a kid, I knew a girl my age who had an easy-to-pronounce Korean first name. It was so weird to me when, in her teens, she suddenly changed it to a more European one. I mean, even the _spelling_ of her Korean name was easy! Although I guess it might have been non-obvious to an English speaker who hadn't yet been told the correct spelling.
I know a guy named Chu Min, and everyone calls him Chewie. He even introduces himself as such. He became a doctor, though with his demeanour you would never guess.
@@saltycalmonds I knew of other examples of this (Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and others). I asked in a different video if George was his real name. While I have no bad intentions in asking that I’m sure there are people who would find me “assuming” his first name isn’t George offensive.
I haven’t met an overly protective parent, but I did meet a scary one. I was dating a Russian girl when I was younger, and when I went to pick her up for a date, her father opened the door and MAN, dude made me feel small. I’m 6’2 and I had to look up at him, and the guy was JACKED.
Needless to say, me and her didn’t last long😂
All Russians wrestle with bears
Any advice for dating Russian women OR meeting their Russian parents?
@@johnmguzman7491 I mean, just be friendly and understand that their is going to be a culture barrier if you aren’t Russian or understand their culture well, especially Russians who come from the rural areas or the cities. Family also means EVERYTHING to them as well.
Just be friendly and open minded and you shouldn’t have a problem. Jokes aside, me and her didn’t last long because we both went off to different colleges.
