DO TEENS KNOW 2000s COMEDY MOVIES? (REACT: Do They Know It?)

♪ (upbeat theme music) ♪

- (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.
