- Napoleon Dynamite (2004)
Fox Searchlight Pictures.
Rico longs to go back in time and change his fortune, even buying a "time machine" from the Internet in an attempt to return to 1982. He fervently believes he had the potential to be a star quarterback in the National Football League, if only his coach had played him in the 4th quarter of the championship game, which he is sure he could have won for his team. Despite acting like a jock and adopting a condescending attitude, in reality he is just as geeky as Napoleon and Kip.
Napoleon Dynamite is a 2004 American independent comedy film co-written and directed by Jared Hess and Jerusha Hess and stars Jon Heder as the eponymous character, Napoleon Dynamite. The film was Jared Hess's first full-length feature and is partially adapted from his earlier short film, Peluca.
My favorite is the look on Kip's face when Napoleon starts getting zapped. A sadistic smile of amazement.
Because he already knew what it was going to do. He truly was sadistic in that moment.
Looks like hitler
Maeby he doesnt know napoleon is getting zapped. Maeby he thinks the machine is just powering up. Kip isnt that smart either
@@freebee8221: oh gimme a break--he fuckin' knew. Even morons know when someone is in pain. Plus, there's no mistaking that look on Kip's face.
😂🤣
The more you watch this movie, the better it gets everytime.
Jr3463 Lee My sister took me to the theater to see this when I was 10 (she was 17)....one of the greatest moments of my life. And she was clutch in knowing about the post credit scene
I concur. I really didn't care for it the first time or two I saw it, but now. Oh boy! Lol
It ages like fine wine
That little sadistic smirk on Kips face as he hesitates to pull the plug sublime cleverness
i agree. first time i thought horrible. now? one of my favs.
I love how they’re all dressed like different decades
Uncle Rico: 1970s
Kip: 1980s
Napoleon: 1990s
You can tell Uncle Rico refuses to accept the present and is solely focused on staying in the past.

Lmao when a nerd gets drugs
razorback4th 9 year old comment. Rare these days.
MOAI BOI fuck off kid
I just liked a post from 9 years ago......
I always feel 50% humored and 50% utter depression when watching scenes from this movie
LaFawnduh is so beautiful - the movie always leaves me smiling.
@Shamus Beaglehole I think it's because the characters are all so relatable. It's one of those films you want to laugh at, but it kinda makes it feel like you're laughing at yourself the more think about it. Everyone has these thoughts and they are brought through so well throughout the movie.
Also, the office plays on this same type feeling
i think it elicits a sort of nostalgia of a midwestern town that is plain and full of simple thoughts and aspirations but also not really going anywhere. like a limbo of a nostalgic world but not one necessarily exciting or even enjoyable.
@@AlchemicalForge91 very well put. Totally agree.
“ this is pretty much the worst video ever made” Kip: “Napoleon, like anyone can even know that.”

Wargasm644 You know what Napoleon you can leave.

"yea hold on...I forgot to put in the crystals" 😂😂😂 gets me every time.
🤣
Such a good part 😂
@@melted_cheetah I never understood it what does he mean?
@@R1c0941 lol because "adding crystals" is some old sci fi shit xD as if the crystals had some form of essential energy needed for time travel, in this case hypothetical, which just adds to the goofiness of the scene.
@@R1c0941 there's kind of a running gag that Napoleon thinks he is in some sort of anime hero world. The genius of the movie is it's ability to show this kind of thing and never tell it.
“How much you wanna bet I can throw a football over them mountains”
This is my favorite line in the whole movie. Perfectly encapsulates Uncle Rico as a character
This scene is so funny, but also sad, how Uncle Rico wants to relive better times.
So this comment is over 10 years old ... still think it’s sad to want relive happier times?
Agreed
@@cliffbooth1029 absolutely. There's nothing wrong with looking back fondly, but looking back in regret is not healthy for anybody. Change is constant and inevitable; it's better to embrace it and see what's ahead than to reject it in vain and lament what could have been.
@@bigmike- still....if coach would of put me in...I'd be in a mansion soaking it up in a hot tub with my soulmate right now...no doubt in my mind
@@bigmike- totally agreed we all have had friends who are gone, relationships that have ended but the moral is YOU CANT LIVE LIFE IN REGRET.
When he says “with my soulmate” and his face goes sad, it breaks my heart.
The most touching moment of the film.
Pretty damn good acting actually.
He probably would have found her by chatting with babes all day
I never noticed it until now, and I feel his pain
Those lines hit different after 30
I thought that was the funniest part 🤣
Had a 9 hour flight and watch this 4 times back to back
“Well I coulda told you that.”
He was heartbroken. The worst kind of pain. Uncle Rico! I feel you, bro!
Nah, my dude's nuts were just burning. lol
Agreed, I've accidentally sat on my nuts before I can only imagine what it would be like to have roasted testicles 😬😬
No. He was nuts broken. Some horrible pain, that.
He was so heartbroken he couldn't go back to 82
Whoever made that “time machine” is the ultimate troll. lol
Yup 🤣🤣🤣
It was on who ever was dumb enough to buy it I don't know how desperate Uncle rico was but he couldn't have honestly believed it would work
The O.G. of what we now call internet scammer
There is a movie with Aubrey Plaza that is similar to this movie and the whole movie, they tease about a time machine. I think is where they must of got the idea from?
the crystals made it legit
Every man over 30 years old has a little bit of uncle Rico in him. 😅😑😓
marcantallita you’re not wrong lol.
A little?, I am Uncle Rico!
So you do things like throw steak at your nephew’s face and tell his girlfriend’s mom that he still wets to bed at night? Lol 😜
At first I thought no...then....well...
We all have that little part in us that never stops reliving the glory days... uncle Rico let that embody him
The embossed labels on the time machine is priceless.
Something straight from Pete Cornish
"are" priceless...:). They are all class hey?!
The illustrations in the manual😂🤣
The instructions written in a combination of English and Spanish …. And at the end they say “Make sure you have adequate ventilation “😂
Worked for Doc Brown 🤷♂️
i like how kip doesn't disagree that its a bad video he just says its impossible to decide if its the worst
He’s a kissass.
"Kip, I reckon you know a lot about cyberspace."
"Easy! I've already looked into myself."
"Right on. Right on."
@@hundboi for myself
@@hundboi you guys missed where Rico even talks about time travel and then kip talks about how he looked into it
The way Kip says "It's a time machine, Napoleon" like it's obvious 🤣 I love their passive-aggressive exchanges between each other
Kip knew the Time machine didn't work because he must of been the one to plug it in for Rico. he just wanted Napoleon to feel the pain.
Yep, the look on his face when Napoleon asks him about it says it all.
You can see him watching Napoleon too from like 2:35 on, just waiting
Must have.
Actually when Napoleon asks “Have you guys tried it yet?” Kip very subtly hesitates to answer; the actor plays its very subtly, the pause and his eyes darting around like he’s momentarily unsure whether to lie by saying no (which he does) or say yes. He’s clearly lying because he wants to see Napoleon get zapped.
Wow captain obvious do u want a cookie
That time machine was the biggest troll in the entire movie. Kudos to whoever invented such an elaborate prank 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Its not real.
@@punishedsnake6141 It works, you don’t even know.
Yeah, that's definitely my kind of prankster.
What made this scene eve more hilarious for me was the fact that I had a coworker very much like Uncle Rico who actually did something very similar to this.
Only he bought a "portable lie detector" that he was planing on using on his girlfriend, who he was convinced was cheating on him = he was projecting, so he could -- as he put it, prove she was lying to him when she told him she wasn't.
@@Everettescottortiz there are many Time Machines for sale online. The funny ones are the ones like in this movie where you are zapping your brain and balls lol
"It's a piece of crap, it doesn't work!" The way Napoleon says that like he expected it to always gets me 🤣
"How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains"
Classic
Back in '82 I used to be able to throw a pigskin a quarter mile
Patrick mahomes could throw a football over those mountains...
My favorite scene not only because of the random flex, but the face twitch he makes after kills me
"It works Napoleon, you don't even know?". Have you tried it? "No". LMAO classic...
When “I bought it online” was still a punchline.
I was 8 or 9 when I first watched this movie and I sincerely thought Napoleon was going to end up time traveling and was so excited. My dad actually thought it was funny when I got super upset at this scene! It’s definitely hilarious now though!
@me Me Was going to say, lol, I was in my early 20's when this film released in theaters.
Daww. Cute. Funny how a young mind works.
I think uncle Rico was more hurt at the end because of the machine not working therefore crushing his dreams of going back in time more than the physical pain of his nuts getting zap
Nah I think the pain of roasted testicles beats heartbreak 😂
He appeared hunched over in pain when he overheard what Napoleon said, at least that’s how I saw it.
I love Kip’s sadistic look when Napoleon is getting zapped.
Probably the actor trying not to laugh
lol "I forgot to put in the crystals." XD
Like that would make a difference haha
lol tamers, its cool seeing you outside your channel!
That's my favorite line of the film.
TAMERS
It's a piece of crap, it doesn't work.
I love that you can see his clothes air drying by his van, which shows you he actually lives in a van down by the river...poor uncle rico
Well, it's a step up from driving a Rickshaw around New York City.
@@lucidlagomorph5809 Kramerica industries is a good company to work for.
Extented top van got ol uncle Rico a female visitor.
I like how Kip awkwardly scoots over when Rico grabs his knee 😂
The acting in this was seriously underrated. The looks on their faces are so genuine, the way they interact you could see they'd be related, the way they (especially uncle rico) try to pursue their individual dreams and yet how they overlap and intersect. Gets better with age
Kips pause as he pulls the plug and his slow look over. Almost like he half expected Napoleon to have disappeared.
I love how detailed this movie is. Someone even took the time to print out an instruction manual for the time machine haha
and in Spanish too !
I appreciate your appreciation, but the obviously fake manual was not so much a “detail” as an obvious (and profoundly, profoundly funny!!!) major part of the scene.
But you’re 100% right about the details in this film being so meticulous and perfect. Every scene and every moment of the acting contains extreme subtleties to heighten the comic effect and satire. Masterpiece.
Liability issues
They also have some kind of "Lorem Ipsum" text, at the very top of the screen. XD
I like how kip says "like anyone can even know that" like he's acknowledging it sucks but saying there's no way they would be able to know if it's actually the worst video ever 😂
I love how Uncle Rico is still hanging on to the hairstyle of his youth.
-Kip, I reckon you know a lot about CYBER SPACE, you ever came across any, like, time travel?
-EASY
The brilliance of this Time Machine's design comes from the proprietor's intention of electronically sterilizing and lobotomizing people dumb enough to buy their product in the first place. All Sales Are Final!!! 🏉 ⏰
An analogy for psychiatry...
😂
I love how you can interpret Uncle Rico's story either way.
Firstly, I've known football players who boast about being the best and in reality, they suck so bad that the football itself would laugh.
Or Uncle Rico was being truthful and was the best on the team and could have led the team to become state champions, but he could have been injured, ending his dream career, therefore making him depressed and resorting to what he does now by selling products.
Or maybe he never played the sport in his life and thought he could but never made the team, so he lied that he played football to everyone he met.
But who knows, you can interpret it any way you want. But you cannot deny the way he tells the story makes you laugh but it also makes you think as well. Brilliant movie overall.
Kip's sadistic smirk gets me every time
The time machine testing is probably the funniest scene ever..
Bcroft39 even the idea itself is funny as hell haha
The entire movie is probably the funniest scene ever
Like anyone could even know that
You know what Christian, you can leave.
The karate scene, tots scene, gang scene , Pedro jumping off ramp scene, roller skating to town scene, school bus scene
"Install crystals into the crystal cup. Place the t-handle between your legs after setting the date and power to the desired time. Make sure there is adequate ventilation."
That steak to the face was the best
Uncle Rico has a Cannon for a Arm.
Dude i was in tears from that. All he said was " Dang it"
How about the water balloon hitting Ricos windshield, that scream lol
@@christopherwhitt5521 i think it was an orange
@@KrikZ32 i dunno cause didnt he throw another at him when he got out the van?
Even though this movie was made in 04 it still reminds me of the 80s
In Idaho things are 20 years behind. Sugar ray is probably the hot band there nowadays
@@GrosvnerMcaffrey so they are stuck in the early 2000's on these days, then thats kinda cool, probably everyone there hangs out.
We so need a sequel!!!
@@AnonYmous-ry2jn the short lived cartoon was enough we don't need another thing like dumb and dumber too
Desired year "1982". The fact that uncle Rico put that year in already is a nice touch.
"It's a piece of crap! It doesn't work!"
LMAO!!! XD
But it did work have you seen uncle rico play with the Jacksonville Jags? Type it in
DaChief404Classics I could’ve told you that!!!!
LOL
" You know what Napoleon? You can leave! "
Lol and then he touches kips leg and he moves away from him 😂
@@mike47734 lmao that’s crazy these comments are 10 years old I wonder how many of the people are still alive or just 10 years older
I probably watched this movie 100 times in Iraq in 2005. It came in a care package and was one of the few movies we had at the time, so it was on 24/7. I never got sick of it though, it got better every time.
The phone and phone cord on the kitchen wall brings back memories. I always heard stop going into the other room you'll stretch the cord out, knowing that your trying to have a private conversation, lol.
i like it how the bird sounds are still playing even when they're inside
You can't hear birds in your house?
@@Needsmoreflash bahahahahah was about to say the same thing. His house must be sound proof 😂😂😂
I live in Australia. The bird sounds permeate all over the place.
Danny McGreevy I hear birds shitting 24/7. You must live in a lab underground.
They're gone now, but all June this year a species of birds made the most annoying chirps you could hear indoors 24-7.
The way music was barely used in this movie made it that much better. What a genius decision by the director lol. Realllly increased that awkward tension, the silence 🤣
Remember everyone, at work, talking about this film. When I finally watched it, I thought to myself how bizarre and stupid. After watching it, the 12th time, I realized its brilliance. A masterpiece of comedic gold.
You watched this movie 11 times before you liked it?
That smirk that Kip does when Napoleon gets zapped is fuckin' priceless! Lol.
Legendary film.
This movie should've won Academy Awards. 😂😂😂😂😂
After I transferred with my job in late-2004, this movie helped to eradicate the pangs of homesickness I was still having a few months later. Must've watched Napoleon Dynamite once a week to be cheered up. First time I saw this movie I was struck by "The Promise" by When In Rome playing over the credits since i had been on a quest to find that song in the early-'90s. It was a young lady at JC Penney's who told me the song's title and artist when it was playing on the store's speakers in the background.
I love the Dymo labels in the time machine. Nice touch
What makes this film even funnier is the fact that they never used any background music, It just makes scenes a lot more awkwardly funny
This movie was geniously constructed. People have no idea.
"never"? They clearly use cheesy keyboard in the background during some scenes.
@@themonsterunderyourbed9408 That cheesy 70's electric organ.
@@schmingusss it fits so well. Maybe that's why the OP never noticed it.
@@themonsterunderyourbed9408 I loved it.
Be positive Uncle Rico. If you're wishing you could go back and change the past, that just means you've grown up a little and have learnt something about life.
I don’t know why I also laugh at YOU KNOW WHAT Napoleon YOU CAN LEAVE!
"you know we cant afford the FUN PACK, put it back!"
I have no idea why I love this movie. I tried explaining it to my wife and all I got was a blank stare.
I like how the scammers put together a functioning prank machine as well.
“It’s a time machine, he bought it online”
🤣
I love how it has a "low" and a "high" setting for time travel. Just a little time travel. Not too much.
Yeah hold on... I forgot to put in the Crystals. :]
Back in high school I had an opportunity to enter an interschool competition. Before that I was never really interested in things like that, but I wanted to impress a girl that I liked and she was entering in one of the girl's categories. Well I entered, and won a gold medal for our school. This was over 18 years ago. Still think of it as a proud moment. I can imagine had I not entered and stayed comfortable at the time, I'd have regretted it all my life like Uncle Rico. Grab every opportunity you can get. All your life not just school.
The Time machine actually brought him back to the 1980's, but looking at his surroundings he couldn't tell the difference
When this movie came out: wow, that was lame. 90 minutes of waiting for something to happen.
Now: _HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA_
I want to go back to the 90s
The illustration in the time machine manual of the stick man with the t-bar between his legs and a thing on his head gets me every time😂😂😂🤣I'm literally crying
Kip : It works, Napoleon! You don't even know.
Napoleon: Have you tried it yet?
Kip: ... no.
It’s amazing because I remember stuff like this all over the internet in the 90s.
Fun fact: That time machine is actually for sale and was featured in an epsoide of Rob and Big! The guy who sells them is completely nuts and if you ask for your money back he accuses you of being an extraterrestrial and hangs up.
Anybody else thought this was gonna be a music video?
Kip’s smile when Napoleon is getting shocked is the best part😂
Napoleon:"It's a piece of crap,it doesn't work"
Uncle Rico:"I could have told you that"
😆 The look of pain on Uncle Rico's face when he says that cracks me up every time
every second of this 3 min 20 second video was hilariously enterntaining. Excellent movie with no boring parts.
Kip: It works Napoleon! You don't even know!
Me: 😂🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
"Make sure there is adequate ventilation." LOL!!!
Hey how much you wanna bet, I can throw a football over them mountains?😂
When I lived in TN, an auto union rep from Detroit retired as did her husband and brother-in-law, both auto factory workers. They moved in next door and it was hilarious. The lady could have been Napoleon's Aunt. Yes, she was the splitting image of the crazy lady from the movie who loved 4-wheeling, even after she broke her arm. Because she always worked with auto workers on the assembly line, she was always shouting, even when you were standing right next to her. The two older gents were stone deaf from the decades of noise. They turned out to be really cool peeps and were very entertaining!
3:02, the moment you realise Kip both looks and has the looks of a potential serial killer
Rico was such a tool in this movie
The actor played the part very well.
Best part of the movie
I watch this movie I’m like they look like the most miserable people in the world
His character is so pathetic its funny but also totally believable and sad
He’s character was hilarious
How much you wanna bet I could throw a football over them mountains? Lol
That little evil smile from Kip is priceless.
1:52 he cannot contain his excitement. This is such good acting lol. It’s like a massive wave of relief came over him once he (incorrectly) realized it WAS possible for him to go back in time. Such a funny little reaction. “Right on..”
I think that the secret behind this movie's success is in the camerawork... the framing for every scene is so perfect. It's like the camera is in on the joke.
We gotta go back in time!
I have a dilemma in my recommended I can either watch
A. Napoleon Dynamite bloopers,
B. Napoleon Dynamite Taekwondo,
or C. Ricky Bobby family dinner.
rexkwando......forget about iiiiiit 🤣
Dorsia?
Do you like Huey Lewis and the News?
You brought this on, Chip
That's called Rex Kwon Do *Gosh*
I resonate with Uncle Rico dearly. I'd give anything to go back in time...there's nothing for me in 2020. Let me go back lord please. I'll get it right this time
1 years ago wasnt even 2020...
Why don't you get it right from now on
Yeah, I feel you on that. If I could go back knowing what I know now, I would give almost anything.
Felt that man
me: mom can we get a time machine?
mom: no we already have one at home
Uncle Rico's acting is so underrated in this movie. His passion for going back in time is palpable.
*The actor playing Uncle Rico*
He played OD in Terrorvision, a most under-rated movie.
2:00 The text in the bottom left made me think a music video for a song called "Uncle Rico's Time Machine" was about to start 😅
Kip: It works napoleon you don’t even know
Napoleon: Have you guys tried it yet
Kip: No.
Lmaooo 🤣🤣🤣😭
Wait, I forgot to put in the crystals.
LMAO 😂 😭
This movie is 17 years old. Let that set in
Napoleon Dynamite's boots. I had a pair like those when I was 5. LOL
Kip with that evil smile 😳🤣
That throw release though. Lmao
That time machine absolutely works!
I purchased that exact same model in 2067.
He didn't have proper ventilation.
Ricos biggest regret in life isn’t taking state in high school 😂😂😂 like dude get over it hahaha
Mister Guy did i ask you for your smart ass opinion? You seem like your more salty then uncle ricos bitch ass 🤣 you must feel good about yourself going around commenting on peoples comments acting like some sort of smartass. Bum
