"Turn that movie down! NOW!"
-Arnold to his agent when offered a cameo in this sequel
😂, but I doubt they even considered offering it to Arnold, as they knew he was out of their price range.
@@KasumiKenshirou lol he probably doesn't even know it exists😂
I swear Jesse, you're like the American Guru Larry - creating good niche content, popping up in every comment section.
I can just picture Larry the Cable Guy reading the script and yelling, "What? Only 15 poop jokes?! Don't they know who I am?"
I can picture a better joke but it would never come from your soft little brain
I'm from British Columbia and actually worked on this production. Larry was a complete d*ck to all of us. TBH, the only thing he cared about was his free food while on set. The WWE co-star (Santonio Marella) was pretty down to earth, and kept addressing Larry as "DannyBoy,' which got Larry upset, lol.
Now this is the tea I come to the comment section for.
Please tell more! Hell, make a video about it on the tubes
I’m all ears, even though I can’t hear you
Interesting. I have met a few wrestlers and it seems like the ones who act like the biggest dicks on screen are usually pretty nice guys in the real world and vicea versa so I am not surprised to hear that Santino is a decent dude.
reading your comment was satisfying because i've never liked him and always cringed whenever somebody said he's smart and funny. i've always been able to tell if someone is no good from the way they talk and carry themselves, so this doesn't surprise me at all. this guy always seemed like a stupid ass and i've never appreciated redneck trash appeal, even if it's just an act or character. ugh
The part in the first movie where the package ends up actually being a bomb, and Sinbad says "there are some sick people in this world!" Should be referenced in writing courses for setup and payoff. That is a perfect joke.
Until they then show the aftermath and it sucks.
2:30 look at all the Star of David's. Could this have anything to do with the impeding Jewish-directed apocalypse?
@@nickmanzo8459it's a children's film, what do you want them to show?
@@Kyle_RielThose are not Star of Davids! Those are snowflakes drawn in the way that snowflakes are typically represented in movies and ornaments, they are not even remotely identical to a Star of David's shape!
@@nickmanzo8459 Yeah, the only reason I can see for having the aftermath is because it's a "family-friendly" film, so nobody is allowed to be murdered by a mail bomb.
Dan Whitney and Larry are essentially the anti-Jim Varney and Ernest.
While not all of the Ernest movies landed, Jim gave the character a sincereness about him that made him endearing.
Larry is much more cynical, and I really get the sense that in the past decade, Dan Whitney actually resents him, but just goes along with it because he fears he’s got nothing else to try.
i get that to. its almost like he wants to stop being Larry but cant
Honestly, this. I get the sense that if Varney wanted to drop Ernest without a word he would have, but didn't because the character was so likable, coupled with his work outside of it like voicing Slinky Dog in Toy Story, plus he showed he can do way, way more.
Larry fizzled out due to not really having the charm Ernest did, coupled with starting shit with other comics. If you haven't heard David Cross talk about him, it's freakin' amazing.
@@daniexists6 was it the Open Letter? if so its funny
@@mattalan6618 Bingo.
@@daniexists6 i laughed but at the same time i agreed with what was said
Cars changed his life.
Cars is the only reason I know who he is lol
I appreciate you gave the little history on Larry the Cable Guy. I know he was a big deal in the US but I'm only vaguely familiar with him here in the UK, so it was good to know the character's origin.
He wasn’t that big of a deal. I’m an American and only know of Larry the Cable Guy because I think I heard someone mention him once or twice. And I thought it was just a character from the movie of the same name. I never knew he was an actual stand up comedian until I watched this video.
im from the US and almost 40 and i had no idea about any of that. but i was never really a fan of his comedy.
Larry was both big and not big. With his numerous fans, he was IT. Which is why he was given so much publicity, merchandising, TV shows later in his Career etc. Thing is, like all comedy, any who didn’t love him (or it), didn’t give a crap and therefore, he both was and wasn’t a household name. Loved and hated. It’s the curse of comedy. Even the biggest names suffer from it. A big fan myself.
The thing is, Larry largely got big as an ensemble to larger comedians like Jeff Foxworthy and Bill Engvall, so you could argue that he was riding the coattails of other guys' success, and compared to those guys (especially as Jeff actually was getting popular in the early 1990s with his "You Might be a Redneck" routine and recollections of how he came to terms with his low income upbringing compared to where he is now), Larry was the more affordable option for comedy clubs after Blue Collar Comedy Tour became a minor hit in theaters.
@@bigjohnsbreakfastlog5819 maybe road their coattails in the beginning but when all 4 were touring (cant remember the name of it now), larry was by far the biggest draw. Foxworthy may have gone on last but Larry brought in the big money. no one came to see bill engvall. i somewhat liked the older comedian but i cant recall his name at the moment. And once that tour ended Larry was selling out NHL and NBA arenas by himself.
“If had a nickel for every time Larry the cable guy did a sequel to a franchise he had no involvement with, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice “
The Internet has a cruel way of making that Nickel joke not funny anymore... :(
@@OddOneOut665 If I had a nickel for everytime I heard that joke, I'd have at least $5. Which isn't a lot but that means I've heard that joke at least 100 Times.
I read that in dr doofensmirtz voice
If I had a dollar for every time I've had to say "if I had a dollar" I'd have enough money to bribe people to stop giving me more dollars
@@larrylaffer3246 Only 5$? Man I got you beat at least tenfold.
But yeah that joke is getting as old and stale as "Explained", "Overrated"...what else...."React (insert stupid looking face here)".
You can't top the World War 3 that Arnold and Sinbad created over a doll.
Jingle All The Way is such a classic. I wish they made films like that again. Sinbad was such a hilarious villain lol perfect casting.
Best wrestler in a movie will forever always be Andre rhe Giant in the Princess Bride. Rowdy Roddy Piper in They Live, a close second.
Spot on
Two words: Dave Bautista.
He is the one wrestler-turned-actor, who is genuily versatile actor.
John Cena’s doing pretty well as Peacemaker
@@mrcritical6751
Also he was the only good thing about the godawful FRED trilogy (he played Lucas Cruikshank's dad in those made-for-TV crimes against humanity)
No love for Drax?
Larry is one of those personalities that I’ve never interacted with ever while they quietly become millionaires doing godawful straight to video movies and standup specials. Good for him.
You honestly have to commend the man for how remarkable his career has been.
@@HatsOffEntertainment I'm excited for that Home Alone 2 video you have planned.
@@HatsOffEntertainment I honestly think most of his wealth comes from the Cars stuff, since he's been involved with every video game, commercial, short, and theme park attraction since the franchise started (save for only one video game).
@@mikerotch145Which video game?
@@gamestation2690 Some Cars 3 tie-in game. Apparently the only reason the game is remembered is because none of the usual Cars VAs (both from original film cast and their frequently used expanded media "replacements") were hired to be in it.
This "sequel" really makes the first movie look like a masterpiece
It's not the best holiday movie, but if you're looking for Phil Hartman in an antagonistic role as a sleazy lothario and a time capsule where Sinbad the comedian was relevant, there ya go. Plus, "Put the cookie down!" exists.
I agree the so called "sequel" makes the first movie look like Citizen Kane lol
@@bigjohnsbreakfastlog5819 Yeah, I remember growing up in the 2000s it seemed fashionable to dismiss the film as utter ass, and the mere fact of Sinbad being in it was cited as powerful evidence. Nowadays the consensus is more "it's fine."
WHY WASNT IT CALLED THE 2TH FAIRY!?
You should be a movie executive.
Larry the cable guy was the most inexplicable success story of the 2000s. I think the more people wondered why he was funny the more his fans doubled down
I'd argue Carlos Mencia was a bigger inexplicable success story. Then he got exposed for stealing nearly all his jokes from other people.
Of the Blue Collar comics, I would say he was most in tune with what that audience wanted. Lowest common denominator comedy with a mean edge to it.
Trump became and stayed president
Probably the same reason Jeff Dunham exists. Feels like they tend to appeal to the same audience...
He had some funny bits.
As someone that's had to deal with scalpers for stuff like amiibo and Power Rangers toys, having someone buy up all of a single product in a given area is definitely the most relatable part of this film.
Yes, I could relate to this aspect of the movie. It wasn’t a toy, but I once went to buy a Steelbook-encased movie, that was apparently on the “scalping” list. I got to the store - gone. Then later, saw a photo had posted online of one buyer buying a stack of them. I mean really… It’s why I sometimes buy hard-to-find items for friends, if I see them…
Vince McMahon: We're going to make Jingle All the Way 2!
Hulk Hogan: That don't work for me, brother.
Vince McMahon: Fine! Someone get me Larry the Cable Guy!
Never forget that the Hulkster was in Santa With Muscles ... Literally one of the worst Christmas movies ever made.
@@spiderleenie 🙂
There's more dedication and sweat put into the "Put that cookie down" scene than the entirety of JoTW2.
Then again that's like saying an ounce of gold is worth more than two tons of donkey dung.
How did we go from The Terminator to Tow Mater?
Thank you for finally solving the mystery of Larry the Cable Guy's natural Florida accent!
Jingle all the Way is one of those movies that ultimately worked because it became more topical as time passed and had a genuinely likeable and memorable cast of actors. However, the whole Christmas is all about consumerism while novel in the 90s has become a played out trope by this point and Larry the Cable Guy probably wasn't the best choice of leading man.
Who in Jingle All The Way can be considered likeable?
Arnold (and even his son) are raging assholes in that film.
@@Bale4BondWell, he said cast, not characters. Arnold is iconic in the film.
I think Larry The Cable Guy would have worked as leading man with a better script. Some scripts would have made the rich man more scheming, and the plot exposing him, and maybe Larry endearing himself to his daughter and ex-wife again. Yeah, too Scooby Doo… LOL
I'm not a comedy snob, and I think that poop humor can actually be really funny... but Larry The Cable Guy seems to thrive on it. I often say when I've watched his stuff, 'Okay! It was funny the first time you did it! Move on!'
The problem is that so many people conflate "poop humor" with "dumb humor." Larry the Cable Guy falls firmly in the second category. Poop and fart jokes can be smart and witty, some of the best bits in comedy can be poop and fart jokes. The problem is that most dumb humor tends to be easy low hanging poop and fart jokes, only second to easy racist punching down jokes, something else Larry is adept at.
@@Dipsoid Larry fart/poop jokes are just "He farts and/or poops. A lot."
There's no real set-up or payoff, no build up, nothing to make it an Actual Joke.
It could have been a little less worse if John Cena was the lead and Larry was like the Sinbad of this movie.
In 2014, when I saw this was coming out, my jaw dropped pretty hard in horror. But never has it dropped harder than hearing some of Larry's lines from the movie in this video. Wowza. That's pretty bad...
It’s wild that they didn’t have a John Cena or other wrestling related toy being the item in most demand. Keep the wrestling actors out, but sell your merchandise.
These sequel films have got to be like a fucking tax write off because...damn!
I grew up in the 90s and can safely say I’ve never loved Jingle All the Way and up until this very moment I assumed everyone thought it was trash. My weird cousin liked it but that’s about it.
It didn’t suck but it wasn’t an annual classic in my family, like Home Alone.
It's one of the few movies we watch every year.
I LOVE this movie. It's hilarious.
Larry's trailer reminds me of Emilio Estevez's trailer in National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1
Is every joke in Larry’s arsenal a fart or shit joke?..jeeze
yes
Imagine him in a movie with Kevin James,yikes
@@Alan-rx6is I don't want that movie
Big Show wasn't in WWE/WWF in 1996 he was in WCW as The Giant.
Phil Hartman was that guy that ate your cookies LOL
Phil Hartman was great. He was so good in the Simpsons and Small Soldiers too.
Hiii, I'm Troy McClure!
Also, in The Brave Little Toaster and Kiki's Delivery Service.
@@teddyfurstman1997 yes sir. jerry rees, the director of toaster has a youtube channel and website. the website has a lot of rare material, info and photos. he also directed many of the pre-ride movies at disney world, like dinosaur and alien enounter. (phil hartman was the orignal voice of the alien encounter robot. there's footage of it on yt.) I miss Hartman.
Larry the Cable Guy is America's version of Mr. Blobby, but nobody's ready for that conversation yet.
As an Anglophile...you're right.
I still love Jingle All the Way
Big Show wasn’t in the WWF at the time of this role. He was “The Giant” in WCW at the time. I think WCW highlighted his role on TV and aired a snippet. This was due to another pro wrestling connection, as when Hulk Hogan took a liking to talent like “Giant” and Goldberg he’d set him up with his lawyers and agents. So they’d get more money from WCW, and be able to get movie opportunities. Goldberg starred in another bad sequel shortly after this Universal Soldier 2. Hogan on the other hand did Three Ninja’s Kick Back High Noon on Mega Mountain or whatever it’s called.
WCW tried to do there own movie studio thing with TNT/TBS if iirc but it was just made for tv movies and didn't last long.
Hogan also starred in the television series thunder in paradise that I still think is really good
5:53 “because they didn’t want to confuse his audience” is absolutely hilarious…and accurate lol
Alex Zamm (director of JATW 2) has directed almost nothing but horrible sequels. Tooth Fairy 2, Inspector Gadget 2, The Little Rascals Save the Day (which was featured on this channel), and Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2. He also directed the 2017 Woody Woodpecker movie.
I watched that Woody Woodpecker movie, and man, Timothy Omundsen (Lassie from Psych) is doing more than he should be for a bad movie, but nothing but a professional throughout.
Thanks for the info. 👍For some reason, I wanted to know if the makers of this movie made other bad movies? I was really hoping for a better movie. Nope…
And of course, "Chairman of the Board" a film which I hope this channel covers one day.
Thanks for all your 2023 videos. I hope that in the next year, you finished the third part of your Laurel & Hardy Docu-Mini as a gift for all your fans of this channel. Love from Brazil and PUT THAT COOKIE DOWN!
That's the plan!
Mmmmm! OOOOHHHH THESE COOKIES!!!! I miss Phil.
They could've made it be a Turbo Man video game that has gta/cod hype. I like the rare retro toy idea too. The fact Larry was in Cars by Disney/Pixar and ultimately ended up in this is honestly tragic.
Yeah, I thought they could have done something ala Randy Quaid comedy style with Larry…
I watched this movie last week because I finally started running out of (non Hallmark) Christmas movies.
The part where they open up the back of the truck full of Harrison toys and the guy in the crowd exclaims "Soooo many bears!" in awe, I laughed louder than anything else made me this year.
It's possible I was just numb and going a bit mad at that point, but I think it might have just have been a perfect line reading from a master of their craft.
Cars was the only thing Larry the Cable Guy did that I found amusing.
Fun fact: In the original Jingle All the Way, Arnold’s character’s son was played by Jake Lloyd, who would later play Anakin in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.
That's just a fact.
I'd really like to hear your thoughts on A Christmas Story Christmas. I went into it a little dubious (that awful trailer didn't help) and while it's not perfect, it's still far better than it has any right being. Anybody expecting another A Christmas Story 2 will probably be pleasantly surprised.
stalag 17 maybe next year’s Christmas movie review I think you would really enjoy its an almost cult classic in my eyes
Jingle All The Way 2... HELL❗❗❗ 🔥 👹🔥
Just finished the Bar Santa 2 forgotten failures. Where at the end you mentioned not having to cover jingle all the way 2 and then this uploads today.
A better premise for Jingle All the Way 2 back in 2014:
It stars Arnie's real son Patrick Schwarzenegger as a 25-year-old Jamie Langston who grew up to be an up-and-coming Hollywood superstar in his epic-heroic blockbuster film Turbo Man: The Movie,
but struggles with the film's cast, budget and production worse than Jamie's dad struggling to find the Turbo Man toy 18 years before.
Honestly, if they changed the title and made this "sequel" its own thing, I wouldn't have much problem with it. The OG movie is an instant classic.
You forgot how "Conan O'Brien" used ",Jingle all the way for his many Arnold interviews.
Great pieces of late night history right there.
Larry matches the Sinbad character from the first film better but he wasn't the star. This movie really has a strange structure that wasn't going to work.
I worked security and crowd control at a larry the cable guy show once.
He was super cool. Super down to earth and very nice. I was doing dressing room duty before the show. He would personally thank every worker he came in contact with for making his show possible. The people that werr doing security he would check up on us periodically and ask if we needed anything. He would engage people in conversation, not just a simple greeting but legitimately have 20 or 30 min long conversations. He was a comedian and of course would tell some jokes and act the funny guy part but he wasn't "Larry". Most of the time he just acted genuine.
After the show after rhe crowds had left and most of the workers and security staff had started cleaning up, we often had to help put chairs up, he came and shook hands and told every worker he saw thank you.
I've met a lot if famous people. Spent days getting to know some pretty big names. But Larry was by far the nicest and most pleasant celebrity I've ever interacted with.
Sounds like a lot of you guys did not live in the South during the ultimate popularity of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. It was the introduction to comedy for many of us down South and the jokes were funny to us because they were relatable. We all had family or knew someone that looked or acted like a member of the tour. It was a big deal whenever they had a new stand up special. I knew people who got satellite TV just to get comedy central to watch them. It really was an interesting phenomenon. One that I'm thankful for because it gave me a love of comedy and to find more comedians. A lot of their stuff probably will be lost to folks in this time but it was a time capsule of a region and something that probably won't ever happen again
I haven't thought about this movie for years. Thanks for the video!
I think the most bizarre WWE film project was their inexplicable involvement in the excellent horror film Oculus.
There aren't even any wrestlers in that one.
How were they involved?
@@varsityreviews707 They just produced it for some reason. No idea why. Mike Flanagan style emotional horror was an odd pool for them to dip their toes into.
@@doctabaldhead fair enough I guess.
The jumpcut to "diabetes guy"... Comedy gold brother, 14k gold.
Your channel is the best way to watch this movie!
Does anyone else feel like the idea for "Jingle All the Way" was the toy store scene from "Kindergarten Cop" ?
I remember seeing someone on Twitter comment that they feel sorry for Dan Whitney because he can never escape the Larry persona. Which honestly, is a fate he deserves
I am sure he's not crying over it too much. He has a net worth of over 120 million dollars. His brand of comedy isn't everyone's cup of tea but a lot people still love him. His fate could been much worse, like Pauly Shore who's career went down the toilet 30 years ago after a few modest film hits.
What's next? The Pacifier 2 or Playing with Fire 2?
I love that you're slowly losing your mind trying to find a reason why this movie exists.
Also, I'm not an American and I always found it weird that this Larry The Cable Guy was a thing, especially because I never saw anything with the guy before or after Cars. I suppose that Pixar was the only chance our paths could cross. A cultural difference I guess.
For some reason, I’m starting to dig into the details of this movie, too. I mean, look you put Randy Quaid in Independence Day and Christmas Vacation, and it works. Why? Good script, I think. I don’t think this movie was written very well, and Larry the Cable Guy didn’t have much with which to work. He has a couple/few funny scenes, but so little…
I cannot believe how good of a plot premise you came up with im sure in a few minutes, is just infinite times better then this movie lol.
Damn. Young Larry the Cable Guy is a dead ringer for Joey Buttafuoco.
Not gonna lie. Everytime I hear Larry the Cable Guy, all I can hear is Mater.
I loved Larry the Cable Guy ever since I was a kid. I first saw Larry in one of his movies "Witless Protection" in 2008 and he became my comedic idol ever since then.
It takes guts to actually admit to liking someone so terrible at what they do. I admire your chutzpah.
WOW, you are a smug A ole.
This is one I actually didn’t know existed. I do wonder what it would’ve been like if it did star someone like John Cena, probably would’ve at least been slightly better.
Larry's only joke trope: 💩💩💩
John Cena fighting against internet scalpers, man now that's a really good plot for Jingle All The Way 2!
3:33 LOL okay that transition was so funny!
"Hi im Wilford Brimley and I have diabetus"
Joe, I just want you to know how much I love your videos. They are so well written, they are funny, and informative. Merry Christmas from a fellow Planes, Trains enthusiast.
they should have just called it "Poop Jokes All the Way."
that was actually a great analogy for these films. I cant wait for another video, keep up the great work!
10:24 His trailer is actually the TURDIS, which is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside.
This is the first time I heard about this movie and I knew she didn't want a Harrison bear before you revealed it. That's how bad this movie did with it's plot.
Larry the Cable Guy certainly lauging all the way to the bank.
Larry the Cable Guy makes the Unknown Comic look like Lenny Bruce.
_We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy Rehash_
Love the way you ended it w/the turbo man ripoff
Writing a letter to Santa containing a Christmas wish is and always has been a popular part of Christmas across the U.S especially. There has also been hotlines to phone Santa with a Christmas wish. Maybe it is phasing out but it’s definitely not odd or mistaken for the birthday wish tradition.
Larry the Cable Guy is like if the concept of the lowest common denominator became a person.
Let’s go Joe! Merry Christmas.
Jingle all the way 2 we did not need but Larry is the man
That's an incredible premise for a sequel.
Love the editing on this video
Waited a whole year for this video, and it was well worth it! You summed up this trainwreck of a film nicely. You know, a better idea for a sequel should've been about Myron's dad trying to buy that Johnny 7 OMA gun. Have it set in 1964 when that was the hottest selling Christmas toy.
LOL Believe it or not, I just looked up TV ads for that recently, just because of the silliness of the toy… I think there was a 70s version, and my parents’ reply then was simply“No…” LOL
Good content. Happy holidays.
Lifetime pro wrestling fan. was not expecting to see a WWE video on your channel.
Your concept for the sequal would work so well. As a kid, I would often receive bundles of old homemade VHS tapes of saturday morning cartoons from the 70s and 80s from low income extended family members. Something i could totally see Larrys character doing for his daughter to explain how she grew obssessed with the antique. I also doubt he'd have a computer or smart phone, so the online shopping craze could be viewed from an outsider lens, highlighting new insanities that most accept as normal. Making old school Larry the straight man in many situations.
The villian could be a lonely nostalgia drone searching desperately for a mint turboman to complete his collection. But we learn his obsession is rooted in the joys he felt in childhood, a very common issue nowadays.
For the finale, Larry could recognize the sadness the retro collector gets around the holidays and invite him for the family dinner, teaching him the value of local community. With a new outlook on life, the collector gifts Larrys daughter his entire set. Surrendering his pristine monument to nostalgia so a new generation can experience the same joys he had as a kid.
You may have a valid point. I remember seeing Star Trek First Contact(1996) in theaters. Tickle Me Elmo was the "hot toy" that children wanted badly in 1996.
Appeal of the toy is everything and that bear is no eye candy… sadly.
"Forgotten" implies being known about in the first place.
I think this failure was beyond "Forgotten". I do love watching good and corny Christmas movies, but i have never heard of this one at all.
I am glad your Shovel never wears out man. Keep it sturdy and well maintained because your definitely digging up "forgotten failures".
Awesome video as usual! Hilarious!
I like the movie and watch it every year! It has a fun Christmas vibe to it. Larry is a very funny guy!!! Harrisony Bear?? Gotta get one !!! YEEEEE HAAAAAA
love your channel bro. Im always very entertained watching all of your content! My first one was the Home Alone video I watched last year
Jingle all the way 2 should be called Larry the Cable Guy Holiday Rush Hour and it would have not made a difference. Merry Christmas. 🎄
Edit: Why did the WWE worked on this?
WWE Studios is a fascinating 20-year venture that just recently stopped. I never knew this was a WWE studios movie until I saw Santino.
In Finland, Jingle All the Way is called "My Father is Turboman", so making a sequel that has nothing to do with TurboMan makes zero sense. Granted, nobody outside the US cares about Larry the Cable Guy anyway.
To be fair we don’t really care about him in the US either
@@HatsOffEntertainment I think most Americans are aware that he exists, but don't care. Based on this video, I guess he does nothing but poop and fart jokes.
see...you keep thinking bad things are fascinating, when they aren't. they're just bad.
I cant think of a worse person to star in a movie. Having to watch this movie for this review is a rough. Thank you for your service.
