Mike and Jay watch "Ready Player One". SPOILERS!!!

The movie was aimed at the kind of 15-year-olds that you see in the comment sections for Beatles or Queen songs, saying "all the other kids in my class listen to Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj, I'm the only one who listens to these classics. guess I was born in le wrong generation!!"

I'm pretty all of them are camera operators (or running sound and whatever else needs to be done) whenever they are not featured on any given RLM episode. We can usually hear one of them laughing in the background at some point during a show. My guess is that Jay was the camera op on this episode. I'm not sure if that is why they always give Rich a credit, though, when he's not featured in an episode of something.

The thing that really got me about this movie is it was supposed to take place like 30 years in the future, but all the pop culture references and skins players were using, were of existing things from today and prior, as if there was no new characters or pop culture created in the next 30 years. They didn't even really attempt to create random ones. In contrast, that would be like if we had an OASIS today, and everyone was dressed up like pac man and mario.

I think the girls who like this shit like it for a different reason. The manchildren gave it credence as a kind of "Holy Grail" of nerd culture, and these 20-something West Coast millennials tacked on to it only because that nerd thing was in vogue a few years ago. I guess it is still mildly fashionable, but it's really all about having big lips and massive, furry eyebrows now. I mean I'm pretty sure I saw a singer the other day whose name was literally "Dual Lips" and I thought to myself, "Yep, that sums it up pretty nicely." Should have taken my dad's advice to become a plastic surgeon, and not a chef. Have you seen how much they can jack the price up on collagen? There's no way I can get that kind of price margin on shit like salmon or avocado. Consumers think they are too savvy these days. Not, mind you, that they *are* savvy, they just *think* they are savvy, so they'll turn their nose up at a good deal but then happily pay $20 for a piece of sushi from a Filipino guy pretending to be Japanese just because he figured out how to hide negative reviews on Google. Anyway, basically what I'm saying is Ready Player One is a piece of fucking garbage.

Not really if you are somewhere between 25- 35 years old. Cera starred in Juno (20007), Superbad (2007), and Scott Pilgrim (2010). He played a nerdy character in all of those movies and they were all fairly popular while attracting/pandering to different interest groups, respectively: the just quirky enough movie to be indie and appeal to hipsters and college chicks while being mostly general audience friendly, the stoner movie with a heart which appeals to teenagers while having just enough style to make it popular amongst male students that outgrew/are to snobby for full on teencomedy shlock, the just quirky enough comic adaptation that appeals to the geek crowd and the ''geek'' crowd. So I guess almost all of the people in the age bracket I mentioned saw Cera as a nerd character at least once.

here's the thing. the book isnt for young kids, it's for nostalgic adults from the 80s and 90s, and the movie follows the same suite(movies for kids usually dont have extreme violence, F bombs etc) it's done in the YA genre style precisely for the nostalgic effect. Now I'm not saying that this somehow excuses the movie's or the book's faults, and it's a literary masterpiece. but thinking that this is somehow for kids is just plain stupid. and anyway my 17 year old younger brother listens to classical rock, watches movies from the 80s/90s and hasnt touched VR chat in his life. somehow thinking that the entirety of the young kids are the same culturally stunted drones that only know what you describe is kinda short sighted. especially considering how fucking Big 80s nostalgia thing is at the moment.

??? he's describing a book, it would be the author that has precognition. did you think mike wrote the book or something?
This is why Mike needs Jay around. When he goes missing, Mike spends an episode reviewing a book instead of a movie.
SILLY STOKLASA
I think the target audience (for the book, haven't ever gotten around to seeing the movie) was born in the late '80s to early '90s. People who grew up consuming '80s pop culture because that's what our parents were into, but also grew up with technology and internet culture.
I love how RLM always credits Rich Evans even if he doesn't appear in the episode like this one...such class...
I'm pretty all of them are camera operators (or running sound and whatever else needs to be done) whenever they are not featured on any given RLM episode. We can usually hear one of them laughing in the background at some point during a show. My guess is that Jay was the camera op on this episode. I'm not sure if that is why they always give Rich a credit, though, when he's not featured in an episode of something.
@@gustafsoneRich probably built the HITB set lol

Only Rich Evans can remember an obscure Danny Phantom episode.
bahamutkod wha... I mean yes! Jay Bauman, of course!
Zchelmer Joash Gamboa for some reason Rich Evans seems to have watched a lot of early 2000s cartoons.
Better lawyer up!
When Mike & Rich do videos alone, the fact that they are lifelong friends becomes obvious. And dammit, it is downright wholesome
Wtf are you talking about this is Mike and Jay
The thing that really got me about this movie is it was supposed to take place like 30 years in the future, but all the pop culture references and skins players were using, were of existing things from today and prior, as if there was no new characters or pop culture created in the next 30 years. They didn't even really attempt to create random ones. In contrast, that would be like if we had an OASIS today, and everyone was dressed up like pac man and mario.
Right? It needed that moment from Bill and Ted 2 where the future's having a meeting of past historical figures and there's one crazy woman from like 2050 in the mix.
There is a reason for that, if u read the book , everyone is obsessed with the 80s because of the challenge . I suggest u read the book , it’s amazing, the movie is almost nothing like it.
I mean shrek is a 20 year old movie and is a giant meme.. plus mario is still relevant
@@bjrmagic1 I'm kind of sick of the 80s. I though it was kind of neat in 2002 when gta vc was about it, but its like zombies where im just tired.
@@TheGrizzlo503 Shrek was not a meme from 20 years ago though. Shrek is a modern meme thats a reference to something old. Its more like watching Wayne's World today, where they make make jokes about stuff thats older than them, but under the context of today just seem really outdated.

Mike and Rich play off each other in such a different way to Mike and Jay. It makes an episode like this rally highlight the difference in how they push the topic forward. Mike and Jay stock go technical stuff way more. Rich makes Mike take his “announcer guy” character further and further. It’s great.
Thats why i love it when all 3 are involved in reviews, i wish half in the bags were always the trio ripping into films
Who's Rich? That is Jay Bauman..
I can’t believe they made a movie out of VRChat.

I never thought I'd see that day where a Danny Phantom clip would play a critical role in a RLM video. But here we are
this movie in a nutshell: "I'm the video game boy! I'm the one who wins!!"
No chellenges really boring
Rich namedropping Danny Phantom made me more nostalgic than anything in this movie.
It was a good show but that episode was so preachy.
"I clapped! I clapped when I saw Danny Phantoooom!"
Oh my gawwd I clapped!!! I clapped when I saw someone making an "I clapped comment"!!!! No one has ever made that comment ever it broke new groooounddd!!!!
On its 14th anniversary too
Did he shoot up a super market for his ghost waifu afterwards?
I never, in a million years, would have thought I would see DANNY PHANTOM on Half in the Bag
It felt a bit like having a hallucination.
someone explained the book to the script writers, directors, and producers in a loud bar while they waited for their drinks, then nobody looked into it again until after the script was written.
The guy said it himself. He idolized Spielbeg so he didn't fight him on anything.
It's funny that Mike immediately thinks of Jason Bateman when Rich is trying to remember Michael Cera's name, because they famously played father and son in Arrested Development.
The Danny Phantom episode came out October of 2004. I'm 85% sure that is before 2011
That, and Danny Phantom writers probably got the idea of using keys like that from that old computer game, Chip's Challenge.
I’ll try to run the numbers and report back
Jr Beans that's a good point
100% sure that that everything in that episode was basic so the fact that ANY game like movie was like is becuase thery're both basic,.
Jay quit because Mike made him watch Demon House.
djcprod What are you talking about? Jay is right there
Momohhhhhh There’s some kind of conspiracy theory bullshit spreading around that that’s not actually Jay. Some even believe it’s a lizard person with crippling depression, diabetes, and AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDSSSSSSSSS!

I've considered Mike an improvisational comedy genius since the first moment I saw him, but the last three seconds of this video made me burst out laughing so hard, I choked on my spit. Thank god for Mike Stoklas.
I just remember that whenever they went into the oasis, they never said or had the words 'READY PLAYER ONE'!!!!! This movie for young kids living in the past beyond their own actual past.
Mike and the other guy. Classic Half in the Bag.
Actually, it's the other-other guy. Get your facts straight you moron. Hey... wasn't he killed by the other guy.
Nah, that was that Rich guy who got killed. Jay's been here since the beginning.
I'd be on board with Mike Stoklasa Book Reviews. Books are a form of Media after all.
IstasPumaNevada a once a year episode...lol
Letter Media, at that.
*"Read"* Letter Media
Not books, just red letters!
Maybe *Scarlet* Letter Media? Eh? No? okay...
Oh my god, i knew he was talking about Michael Cera from the 1st word but damn, he really isn't in anything anymore.
Dragon's Red he was great in Scott Pilgrim. Would love to see him in more stuff.
I was thinking Andrew Garfield.
I think he does a lot of animated stuff now, he's actually only 32.
I both saw the movie and read the book, which was extremely tedious. I could never have described the plot today, 5 years later. Mike is describing pieces where I'm like... "oh.... oh yeah..."
“Michael Cera is like 45 years old, he can’t be a high school kid.” He’s 29, and Cera’s eternal baby face and hushed voice convinced me he could play a small child forever.
A Home Alone remake is pretty much a certainty at this point, right? Calling it now - Michael Cera will play Kevin McCallister, the rambunctious elementary school-aged protagonist.

It's more like 70s-90s pop culture nerds, but yeah it's nostalgia bait for 30-40-somethings, I think they just didn't want to admit it.
It's obviously for families where parents and children equally enjoyed Wreck It Ralph -- and equally hated Pixels.
VERY cool
People keep commenting about how Jay kept getting more and more handsome as the show went on, I didn't notice it at first but I can REALLY see it throughout this episode!
Eh, I think he peaked here
Spielberg went completely George Lucas with the CGI.
I didn't realize Mike was able to read
Probably enjoys looking at the pretty squiggly lines.
I remember when I was in 5th grade I wrote a short story for school, I don't remember too much about it, but I made references to Tie Fighters from Star Wars in a dream sequence. After reading the story in front of the class and getting applaused quite loudly by the entire class, my teacher criticized my Star Wars references and was told you can't do stuff like that. 13 years or so later, Ready Player One did that to the Nth fucking degree. So fuck you Mr. McDonough, that story was ahead of it's time.

"Oh Mr. Spielberg, here's your blood!"
I bought the book because everyone was saying it was almost a sci fi classic... Such a piece of garbage
That kinda implies whoever told you that thought the generic isekai plot was pushing the envelope for scifi. Shitty flavour of the month anime would blow his mind.
MIkes ears are slowly becoming Vulcan, wtf
And here I thought it was impossible for Jay to get any sexier
I remember that episode of Danny Phantom. I would never in a million years have remembered it. I used to love that show as a kid.
"Your nose and lips are goin' places, kid!" My sides
CaptainKronkers. Harvey Weinstein?
God, it was so frustrating seeing Mike and Jay* try to figure out the target demographic. It's MANCHILDREN. The demographic is MANCHILDREN.
I don't know. My ten year old nephew loved the book, although he couldn't explain why.
Lo Fr has he grown up into a manchild now?
Very cool.
I think the girls who like this shit like it for a different reason. The manchildren gave it credence as a kind of "Holy Grail" of nerd culture, and these 20-something West Coast millennials tacked on to it only because that nerd thing was in vogue a few years ago. I guess it is still mildly fashionable, but it's really all about having big lips and massive, furry eyebrows now. I mean I'm pretty sure I saw a singer the other day whose name was literally "Dual Lips" and I thought to myself, "Yep, that sums it up pretty nicely." Should have taken my dad's advice to become a plastic surgeon, and not a chef. Have you seen how much they can jack the price up on collagen? There's no way I can get that kind of price margin on shit like salmon or avocado. Consumers think they are too savvy these days. Not, mind you, that they *are* savvy, they just *think* they are savvy, so they'll turn their nose up at a good deal but then happily pay $20 for a piece of sushi from a Filipino guy pretending to be Japanese just because he figured out how to hide negative reviews on Google. Anyway, basically what I'm saying is Ready Player One is a piece of fucking garbage.
It is actually me
Rich was about 45 years old when Danny phantom was on, how the heck does he remember a specific episode of it?
Rich also remembers the events of pearl harbor pretty crisply, so I'm not too surprised.
That's jay, dumbass
Hellish Holiness shut the fuck up nerd
He watched it and remembered it I imagine
Well technically he was 30 when Danny Phantom first aired XD.
22:35 Spielberg "Perfect, really good, cut. Print that one." Assistant director "Print?" Checks dictionary app.
I guess I'm technically the audience that this movie is made for (31 years old) since I understood all of the references. But I just kept thinking "does this stupid movie have anything but references?" And "how did they get all of these licenses? I kinda wish they had used all of that time and money to write a more interesting story line."
I'm 45 and I had a large smile on my face most of the time. I really loved it. I remember playing "Adventure" with my dad when he was much younger than I am now. I didn't think about it too much, just enjoyed the show. And the fact where the AAA game makers don't care about their players hit home. I mean gaming since late 2000 has taken such a nosedive in creativity and quality, it's almost as bad as the early eighties. Almost. I was definitely part of the target audience.
@@Francois424 the book is completely different . If u r 45 it will hit u in a different way. By far my favorite book, absolutely love it.

Ratel.H Badger BECAUSE I REMEMBER IT!
Is it sad that the moment he said the other nerdy kid I immediately knew he meant Micheal Cera.
Not really if you are somewhere between 25- 35 years old. Cera starred in Juno (20007), Superbad (2007), and Scott Pilgrim (2010). He played a nerdy character in all of those movies and they were all fairly popular while attracting/pandering to different interest groups, respectively: the just quirky enough movie to be indie and appeal to hipsters and college chicks while being mostly general audience friendly, the stoner movie with a heart which appeals to teenagers while having just enough style to make it popular amongst male students that outgrew/are to snobby for full on teencomedy shlock, the just quirky enough comic adaptation that appeals to the geek crowd and the ''geek'' crowd. So I guess almost all of the people in the age bracket I mentioned saw Cera as a nerd character at least once.
I rewatched those last 15 seconds like 8 times and it killed me every single time.
GET OUTTA HERE, YA CHEAP POS REPLACEMENT!

Omg I screamed out “Michael Cera” like 12 times.
Michael Sera? The PR Manager at Poshmark or Head Chef at MWR?
Yeah same here, except I'm at work so I couldn't scream it. But I definitely mumbled it.
Lol me too... "Michael Cera!"
i swore he was talking about Andrew Garfield at first
Not gonna lie. Until Batman v Superman: Dawn of Failure, I honestly thought Cera and Eisenberg were the same guy. So confused why I loved half of his movies but hated the others. Now I know, I wasn't liking Eisenberg while I blamed Cera.
This whole video is just a reference to Mr. Burns wanting Steven Spielberg's Non-Union Mexican Equivalent.
Never did I think Danny Phantom would be referenced in a RLM video. Also knowing Mike had to watch and edit the clip himself is epic
Why the fuck was Jay watching Danny Phantom
Think about it: Mike is embarassed about reading a YA novel. Rich was watching a cartoon for kids that was airing when he was, at least, 25.
He’s the next Randy Stair
can anyone blame rich for watching cartoons while mike IS watching ghost hunters shows?
This book/movie isn't meant for tweens, teens, or functional adults. It's meant for the most stereotypical Man-Children/Woman-Children and lowest common denominator "geek culture" consumers. I'm amazed you guys have never mentioned this book on Nerd Crew. It was made for those type of people. Loot Crate literally included it in one of their packages. That's practically the only reason it got famous in the first place.
Secular Ascetic I'm assuming COLLIDER people love it
So it's poorly disguised corporate propaganda. Understood.
There's a reason the self-proclaimed god-emperor of geek-culture, Wil "Shut up, Wesley" Wheaton narrated it.
zooglesan Funny story, when somebody was telling me about this obnoxious shit book, he told me "You won't believe who they got to narrate the audiobook" or something, and I guessed Wil Wheaton on the first try. I guess it was a no-brainer, of course they get the most obnoxious shitlib basic bitch pop culture icon to narrate this obnoxious basic bitch pop culture reference pamphlet of a sci-fi book.
Someone's reaction to the trailer somehow ended up on my facebook feed, and it was of a slightly chubby Asian girl (my guess would be 3rd generation American of Korean descent) with glasses in a brightly colored room with posters of Mario and Bayonetta and some other shit. She was literally crying tears of joy when she spotted the Iron Giant. I thought to myself, "Just what in the fuck is going on here?"
24:20 is my favorite moment. Mike is so excited and happy to know this "gaming" terminology. SO KAWAII

Isn't this the quintessential, "I clapped! I clapped! When I saw it!" movie?
well yeah, but at least it's honest about it.
The references are so out of touch its basically a boardroom of directors version of what they think is pop culture... There is not even one single reference to VRChat... Which is the closest thing we have... American still think the young kids care about the de lorean car from bttf but kids only knows AE86 and Thomas the dank engine... Terminator 2 death scene and not a sight for F to pay respect... There is no mob of men rushing to battle with soviet anthem playing with bass boosted... Just a boring movie... the only good thing is the potential youtube poop/edit parodies that will come out after the dvd or bluray release...
here's the thing. the book isnt for young kids, it's for nostalgic adults from the 80s and 90s, and the movie follows the same suite(movies for kids usually dont have extreme violence, F bombs etc) it's done in the YA genre style precisely for the nostalgic effect. Now I'm not saying that this somehow excuses the movie's or the book's faults, and it's a literary masterpiece. but thinking that this is somehow for kids is just plain stupid. and anyway my 17 year old younger brother listens to classical rock, watches movies from the 80s/90s and hasnt touched VR chat in his life. somehow thinking that the entirety of the young kids are the same culturally stunted drones that only know what you describe is kinda short sighted. especially considering how fucking Big 80s nostalgia thing is at the moment. Why do you think stranger things exists for example?
People are forgetting that retro is cool too. And parents will show their kids this stuff too.
Mike learning the term NPC from a book is the cutest shit.

Not really into the meta-story of the RLM videos, but when Mike screams "GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!" I laughed harder than for any of their side bits I've seen so far.
It was pretty dark. Especially the tone of the music playing in the background. Seemed like Mike was for real for a second.
it's weird Mike said he hates improv when he and Rich are brilliant at it, laughed so hard I had a coughing fit during that Spielberg/MPAA bit
"Rich knows these terms! See, I learned that term in the book!" It's like when your grandpa starts watching you play games and starts using the slang properly. That slight smile with lots of internal squeeing.
