- (FBE) Today, we're gonna see how well you know
some popular comedic movies from the 2000s.
- (groaning) Oh man.
I always do awful with knowing things.
- I'm not good with movies.
I don't know why.
I've just never been a big movie person.
- Oh, I'll do fine at this.
That's all I watched when I was little
because I was scared of scary movies.
- I think I might do well.
As a kid, I really was into funny movies.
- I want to say I'm gonna do well,
but every time I come here, you guys always hit me
with new culture that I've never been exposed to,
so I guess I'll see how it goes.
♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
- (FBE) Do you know this movie from 2003?
- (gasping) I love Jim Carrey!
There's so many Jim Carrey movies.
Yes Man?
- I don't remember seeing the movie,
but I remember the title being really familiar,
and I remember seeing this movie poster.
- Is it God Almighty?
- This is God Almighty, right?
No, no! Bruce Almighty.
- This is Bruce Almighty.
This is Bruce Almighty.
- Yeah, okay, I do know it.
It is Bruce Almighty.
- Oh, okay, this is Bruce Almighty.
This is one of the first movies I remember watching.
- Bruce Almighty. I love that movie.
I've seen it probably eight or nine times.
I like when the monkey goes up the guy's butt.
- (FBE) This is the poster for Bruce Almighty.
- Oh! Okay, I actually don't remember watching this movie.
- That's a childhood movie right there.
I was a Jim Carrey fan.
Still am a Jim Carrey fan.
- This is a movie where you watch multiple times
and it doesn't get old.
It's always funny.
And Jim Carrey is just amazing.
- His facial expressions-- it's just his energy.
His aura is so comedic.
It's so positive and it's so funny.
♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
- (FBE) Do you recognize this one?
- Okay, Ben Stiller.
Well, I know it's not Night at the Museum,
so, no, I don't.
- I don't think I've watched this movie.
It doesn't look familiar to me.
- Ben Stiller, that's about all I can recognize.
- I know that's De Niro.
Oh, man, I don't know this one.
- That's Ben Stiller, right, and Robert De Niro?
Meet the Fockers.
- Meet the Fockers?
I think there's more than one,
so I don't know if that's the first one.
- This one's Meet the Fockers.
Yeah, because that's the first one,
and then the next one's, like, Meet the Parents.
- I definitely know it has the Fockers in it, right?
That's right?
- (FBE) In the movie, that's their name, yes.
- Oh, but the title's not that? - (FBE) No.
- What? I have no idea then.
- Is it Meet the Fockers or Meet the Parents?
- (FBE) This is the poster for... - Wait, okay.
This is Meet the Parents.
I thought Meet the Fockers was before this one.
- Meet the Parents! Wait, what?
Isn't their family name the Fockers?
- (FBE) Yes.
Meet the Fockers is the sequel.
- Oh, that's why.
- It was pretty good.
I like Ben Stiller. I like Robert De Niro.
My mom is in love with Ben Stiller,
so she makes me watch every Ben Stiller movie
because she's obsessed.
♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
- (FBE) Do you know this movie?
- Again, it's kinda like Bruce Almighty,
where I've seen the movie poster before,
but I've never seen the movie.
- It looks like the guy from that Bean movie.
Mr. Bean?
- This is the one where he takes the animals on the ship.
I'm gonna say Noah's Ark.
- I know this. He's Steve Carell.
40-Year-Old Virgin.
- I know I've seen the poster.
I think it's The 40-Year-Old Virgin.
- 40-Year-Old Virgin?
- The 40-Year-Old Virgin.
I know that one because it's always on TV nowadays.
- This is 40-Year-Old Virgin.
I watch this all the time.
They play it all the time on TBS.
My dad calls my brother this all the time.
- (FBE) This is... - The 40-Year-Old Virgin.
Okay, yeah, I've heard of it.
- Oh, wow. I was way off.
- It's so funny and it's so embarrassing.
- I definitely shouldn't have watched this when
I was as young as I was, but (laughing) I love this movie.
- The classic chest hair shaving scene, I mean,
that's like-- everybody has seen that,
and that just cracks me up every time.
- (FBE) In the famous waxing scenes,
Steve Carell was having his actual chest waxed
to maintain authenticity, and his loud exclamations were real.
- Oh my gosh!
- That's hardcore dedication right there.
I don't think I'd ever be able to do that.
- That's so good.
That's acting.
That's like Shakespeare level.
- (shrieking) Kelly Clarkson!!
I very much applaud Steve Carell for that
because that must've sucked.
♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
- (FBE) Do you know this one? - What the hell?
This does not look like a comedy.
- This looks like a heartfelt drama.
- Just based on the poster, it doesn't even look like a comedy.
It looks more like a movie based on a true story.
- "Clooney, John Goodman."
The poster's not familiar to me.
- No, I haven't heard of this one.
- Oh, is this the trooper movie?
Or like... (chuckling) Tropic Thunder?
- I feel like it's a popular soundtrack on iTunes.
I want to say it's O Brother, Where Art Thou?
- (FBE) This one is... - O Brother, Where Art Thou?
I've never even heard of it.
- I don't think I've heard of it.
- Wait, I've-- okay, now I've seen this poster somewhere.
- Is it old-timey, like Romeo and Juliet?
- I just never heard of it.
I'm surprised because there's a lot of big names.
♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
- (FBE) How about this one? Do you know it?
- No, no, I do not.
- I have never seen this poster before.
- I've seen the poster for it, and it's zombies,
so I should be able to get it because, nowadays,
everything's related to zombies.
- It looks like a parody, like how Scary Movie was.
- Oh, wait.
No, this is not Zombieland.
- I want to say Zombieland, but it doesn't-- (laughing)
because that's what coming to mind,
but this doesn't look like any of the actors
that I remember from that movie.
- Dawn of the Dead.
But I don't-- is that a comedy? Because I remember
watching that and thinking it was just a horror film.
- Oh, wait, this one's Shaun of the Dead.
- This is Shaun of the Dead.
I have never seen it, but I know what's-his-name,
the guy from Star Trek, that's how I know him.
- (FBE) This is... - Shaun of the Dead.
I don't think I've watched it.
- I think I've seen this on TV once or twice.
- Dude! I'm very upset at myself now.
I love Shaun of the Dead.
- I really appreciate when they take a stupid idea,
like zombies coming to life, and they make it really smart.
That's really cool.
♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
- (FBE) Anything about this poster look familiar?
- No.
- I do not know what it is.
- I have no idea.
- Camp Firewood.
Why does that sound so familiar?
- That guy on the right, I know him.
That girl in the front seat, I know.
But I don't know their names.
- I was about to say American Pie, but I don't think so.
- There's a large group of people.
I feel like it's one of the American Pies.
- Oh, they just made a TV show.
Wet Hot American Summer.
- They made a remake of this on Netflix, right?
I think it was The Wet Hot American Summer.
- (FBE) So this one is... - Wet Hot American Summer.
That seems very provocative.
- The title sounds familiar, but, no, I've never seen it.
- No, I was so wrong!
I saw the thumbnail for this on Netflix.
- I don't know if maybe it was because I was scrolling
through Netflix, but I definitely have seen this somewhere.
- Wet Hot American Summer.
Like, really, come on.
I don't understand some of the titles for these movies.
♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
- (FBE) Last one, do you know it?
- Oh, shoot, what's it called?
I've seen this movie before.
And I cannot think of the title right now.
It's on the tip of my tongue.
- This is a great movie.
It's like the newscaster, news-something.
The Anchor?
- Anchorman.
- Oh, this is Anchorman.
- This is Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.
I have a poster of this hanging up in my room.
- This is one of the iconic, most perfect Will Ferrel movies
I've ever seen.
- Anchorman and Anchorman 2
have to be one of my favorite Will Ferrell movies.
I just love Will Ferrell.
He's one of the funniest dudes ever.
- (FBE) So this one is... - Anchorman.
Yeah, I know, Rob Burgundy.
Just because fricking Will Ferrell. The dude's iconic.
- Anchorman! Oh my gosh, I was so close.
- I hate saying this, but I've only seen the second one.
- I love Will Ferrell movies.
Will Ferrell's hilarious.
- I love this movie so much.
The fight scene is the most legendary thing
in the universe.
- (FBE) Many of the actors, as well as Will Ferrell,
are well-versed in the art of improvisation,
and would sometimes do up to 20 different versions
of reaction lines, trying out the first thing
that popped into their heads. - That is so awesome.
Improv is hard, okay?
I've tried improv and I just stand there, like,
(chuckling) "What?"
(crickets chirruping)
- That's the best way to make a comedy movie,
just improv all the time, and then I love looking up
the other versions because they're just hilarious.
- I thought I would know a lot more,
but, I mean, it kind of opened my eyes
to all the ones I didn't know.
There's always more for me to see, you know,
so I'm definitely gonna go watch these
when I get home.
