This week's video is sponsored by Acorns, the money app that makes it simple and cheap to make small yet significant investments.
Keep talking about that and not.
Prolong this movie.
Watch this movie.
Okay, one more deep breath in, Greg.
Here we go.
I don't even want to activate my sense of smell, honestly.
And also, for the first time ever, I will say this, it is hot as balls in here.
whole i know it is it is do you want to like turn something on yeah let's not watch this and let's just get
the air going all right you got it three two one let's poop um i need you guys to make this
watch worthwhile five stars thumbs up like comment subscribe greg this was so much harder to watch
than terrifier is terrifier fire fire terrifier is
I don't know why that's like our go-to
to compare it to.
Because I think there was like a level of
apprehension with that of like
oh, I hear this is icky, but
Terrifier seems to have like this
I mean the first one I thought
was a really uncomfortable time.
It was.
But two and three were just like so
like, oh, these are like entertaining
movies that are kind of fun.
And it's like a clown
and I don't know.
There's like a lore. Yeah.
I kind of thought this was going to be like a horror
comedy. I thought there would be a little bit
of like cheekiness or some type of self-awareness but it was like going for how
realistically uncomfortable and dread heavy it is so mean it is like not a fun time at all
let me ask you this did you like this movie no i did not like i did not like this movie
no i did not and um there's here's what i'll say there's there's ask
and maybe you feel the same way where I didn't expect to appreciate there's a part of my brain that appreciates the commitment to how ugly of an experience this is and there was a point where I'm like I'm just in this movie now like I'm in this weird world I'm I am sucked into this terrible time so it's effective I'll say like it is it is effective and I wouldn't
did this come out? That's like
the ultimate kind of Roxy question, right?
When did this come out, Roxy?
What is your, you don't film enough
with me to remember, like, questions is how
I enjoy things. No, I know, I know.
It's just you started, you got, there was only
one time here where you started asking questions
that was then getting my imagination going
on how much worse it would be, and that's what I was
like, no more, cut yourself off.
Because at first it was the best distraction.
And then there was a moment.
I guess it's like, man, really?
2010?
I felt like...
I was in college.
I don't think that's right.
Is that right?
Fifteen years ago, I guess this was around the...
Because there was a time of horror when there was like the saws and the torture porn and the...
Like the hostels where they...
The whole point was to give you just an ugly, gross, gory time.
But this wasn't even that.
Like, weirdly the...
It was all the surrounding parts that made the centipede part that much worse, you know?
They call this.
suspense horror dark and psychological
and yeah like the suspense was killing me
even though we knew what was going to happen like nothing happened
in this movie other than what we thought was going to happen
he connected them from their mouths to their booties
and that is what the entire movie was
that was the whole movie
the last half there's like nothing and it's just so mean to the characters
and then we get that monologue about
I deserve this and then the
off themselves
yeah it was just so
that's what I mean by mean
it was it was so like
now was that like a weird
attempt to
like manipulate the audience even more
like how much crueler can we be to the audience
if you met somebody
and they said to you
that their favorite movie was human centipede
what
what would you feel about that person
they got bad taste
literally
man
okay so
how did this get
sequels
like
I must have made money
what's it rated
R
I mean look
I remember John telling me
that because John doesn't really
look away from shit
and he said that like
part two was the one movie
where he found himself like
actually covering his eyes
like I can't watch
I can't believe this is rated R.
I can't believe, yeah, there's a rating.
And it's R.
And I can't believe Mercedes involved in so much sponsorship.
Like, they're like, yeah, this is a great ad for us.
I honestly feel like maybe IMDB will give us some answers on that.
Like, maybe they got sued.
I really don't know.
That was, man, that was so flabbergassing.
And, like, I, what was your favorite part?
Like, is there anything about it that you?
Favorite part?
I don't mean like
scene but like
was it the coloring
what do you think
was the most
like you're like
oh they did a really good job
I know you liked the way
it was shot
I think the
the atmosphere
was incredibly done
the
yeah the overall
like effect
on the soul
I think is really
well done
the acting
is
especially from the main
girl
and the main bad guy
is
who are you calling
the main girl
the middle
yeah she was definitely the main girl
she had like more scenes and more dialogue
and she was definitely more proactive
yeah I guess but she couldn't even speak
in the last half hour but she
had to escape like
their commitment like the actors
honestly as
like maybe they had
fun filming it
I've heard that with like some of the worst
feeling movies and sometimes it's actually
kind of fun to put those together
how could it be fun on your knee
like though just physically that's got to be painful
I don't know but they
I thought they did such a good job.
They did an amazing job.
I was like, I just feel so sorry for these characters and these actors.
Like, if it's just hitting me so hard.
Like, I feel terrible for these guys.
Okay, so Human Centipede First Sequence is the name of the 2009 movie that we just watched.
I guess it's 09.
Human Centimede 2, full sequence is 2011.
And then Human Centipede 3, final sequence is 2015.
I really don't know if we should.
should continue this
I guess it depends
on how many people watch
those goddamn views keep us
influencers moving along
I'm looking at the trivia right now
director Tom 6th I want to see what else
he did showed a drawing of the human
centipede to all the actresses
who showed up to the casting sessions
many actresses walked out and discussed
after discovering what the role actually
yeah that's what I mean man
like it's a hard role to accept
when Toronto Underground
cinema showed this film there was a centipede deal where if two tickets were purchased the third
one would be free when approaching investors prior to filming the filmmakers told them they wanted to make
an international horror film that involved stitching people together but did not mention how exactly
that they would be stitched fearing the mouth to anus aspect would put off the investors
maybe they did that to mercedes they that is how they
I just don't see a reality where Mercedes was like, yes, we will say yes to this.
Because honestly, it makes me go, I will never buy Mercedes.
If they agreed to that, no.
Director Tom Six contacted a real surgeon for the human centipede design.
This is why the film has the tagline 100% medically accurate, which is not true.
That's kind of funny.
Okay, what the hell did Tom Six do? Let's see.
This must be his first film.
He's born in Holland.
Not as much poop stuff as you expected?
I don't know any of his other stuff.
The Onenia Club is coming out.
Before this, he did a movie called Gay in Amsterdam,
then a movie called Honey's with a Z at the end,
and a movie called I Love Dries, and then this.
All right, it's a nice first movie.
Good for him.
man
there are like visuals in this
that will forever stick in my brain
there's like visuals that's why
that is exactly why I'm like I don't think I want to watch
two and three because like that was my fear
with this movie that there would be some visuals in here
that would never leave my brain
I feel like I'll be okay now that it's done
but I did not enjoy watching this
and it took like I know
you're like why are we comparing it to the terrify movies
because those are the two that have been so hyped up for me for so
long about being this hardest movies to watch
and those movies
when we were watching it I was like oh my god
and not looking at the clock this I
every two minutes
every two minutes I was like how much
how much time do we have left
like how could this possibly still be going
there's a lot of movies where we've been here where I'm like not as entertained
as I like and I keep checking the clock
I checked the clock for a very different reason this time
I was like I need this to end this is just too much
in all fairness to this movie I've never seen anything like it
I am curious what the patrons want
to ask us because
yes let's get to that i don't know what it could possibly be but one of the benefits of being a patron is you guys get to ask us questions we love your questions and right now when i'm absolutely speeches about what to talk about they are more than necessary so here we go with our patreon questions
cody anos cody enos
you want to read if you were part of this is a great question honestly i don't want to read it you're part of the centipede would you be
In front or back, who of the real rejects would you like to be attached to?
No.
Obviously front, right?
Why would you be back?
We got to use all the rejects to fulfill this question.
It's so funny.
Back would be horrible.
Someone drawn.
What is wrong with you?
I don't know.
It's just a funny-ass question.
Okay.
So, okay, if we're trying to do this respectfully, I should be in the front, and here's why.
Because I poop the least.
yeah actually that's a really good that's a really good point like we want the person in the back
as the person who poops the most Aaron okay so Aaron goes in the back I agree with that
Aaron's in the back I'll be in the front and then the rest of you guys are screwed I mean
they're all the same really doesn't matter in that order right I mean all the same yeah it's all
the same um I yeah okay just added Aaron there in there
Well, he does really stay pooping in the studio.
He really does.
Do you know how many times I've pooped in your house?
I definitely don't know the answer to that.
No, you have.
Zero.
Thank you.
Zero.
I have never one time.
Ever, ever.
Rejignation, like many of you, I grew up in a home where money felt like a constant worry.
Financial fear was always in the air, and eventually we did lose our home.

feel more in control one day. And that's why I'm glad I found acorns. I have already been using

I got you.
Okay.
Chase.
Jay, uh,
Jay Rushden.
Wait.
No, no.
That was, the,
they were filming Justice Lee,
so if the conscience got condensed.
Chase Lee.
Why?
Just why.
Greg.
I, I just,
we needed more horror movies to cover.
I couldn't think of one.
And I was like
It's been a while
Asa Roxy and I did one
We were a good team up for this
Because I think that
Like
Who else are you going to subject it to this?
Tara, she would have screaming
Tara would have died
She would have blown my eardrum
I was thinking about if I was doing the terror
I was like I would have honestly like maybe had to stop
She would have cried
She might have made it worse
That is like
Terry your your loudness is not like helping me at all right now
It would just add to the
shrillness of this experience.
Kenny had the same question.
Oh, thank you, Kenny.
Thank you, Kenny Chapman.
Just a happy
your question to be on screen.
A lot of the same questions here.
Chase Lee, I guess
the only question is in what position we want to be first, second,
or third. I'm so sorry. I mean, obviously
you want to be first. If you're going to be a
position, you want to be first. You can speak, honestly,
being first wouldn't be super
different than
being in real.
No, that's what I mean.
It's like he just unfortunately got something attached to it.
Yeah, yeah, and it would be horrifying.
The knees part is so bad, too.
Yeah.
Can you scroll, dude?
I'd love to.
Okay.
Oh, great.
Haseña Ali,
sorry to say disdain with your name.
It's just I'm upset about the movie, not about you.
Thank you for the question.
Would you rather be part of the human centipede
or get tortured for a long time by Art the Clown,
like the bedroom.
scene
prior to.
Ooh.
I would
rather be the
front of
the human
centipede.
Same.
But if I
had to be
the middle
of a
centipede or
the back,
oh, I don't know.
And the thing
about
Art the clown
is like
you do
eventually die.
The centipe
I don't
I don't
is that
but.
Art the clown
has that
ability to
make you stay
a lot.
I remember
that in the
Laura has
ability to
make you stay alive
until he wants you dead yeah um but that is true you would eventually die oh that is a really
tough question that's sophie's choice right there i've never seen sophie's choice but that's
oh that's a jewish reference will you do the next one talking gibberish this is more of a future
question but when you all finish the human centipede trilogy well i just like it ahead of ourselves
and after they end up getting a shit ton of views
well done
can you both react to the human set of an episode on south park
you know i've i've only maybe seen like five episodes
of south park in total have you seen south park
a lot of it yeah i love south park it's very smart
i would i would rather watch that
oh absolutely i would rather watch that
i just can't tell whether we should commit to two or three
because like i ain't no bitch
but also
I just don't want to do it
and I want to do it less now
yeah yeah it wasn't
it didn't inspire the choice
okay
Jay Rushden
thank you Jay
is this movie the grossest movie
you watched
and you ever nearly
puked from watching movies
there is French movie named Martyrs
which is the only movie
Perry and Clark Wolf said they would never
rewatch the third
Really? Should we watch it? I mean I'm always up for a first-time challenge
I've never even heard of this movie me neither is this the grossest movie you ever
watched here no in life um I'd have to think about that I thought it would be like
I mean no it's it's definitely up there I think it is the grossest movie I ever watch
yeah yeah I think it's up there
worse than the wrong turn?
Yeah, I think so.
I mean.
But the wrong turn is like campy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like they're aggressively violent, but they're campy.
Mm-hmm.
Dude.
Yeah, I just get all the good ones.
It's just, you know,
it's fantastic for it.
Let me see you here.
Okay, that's it with the question.
That's it.
Thanks, Royal Rejects.
Not only, thank you, Royal Rejects.
Not only is that it with the questions,
but that is it.
That's it for us.
That's fucking good.
We're done.
We're fucking done.
It's time to go home and, I guess, eat.
Like, I got to, like, really settle my stomach for that.
I did get a little bit of, like, I didn't, I was on, like, the verge of throwing up,
but I was like, oh, my stomach is really uncomfortable now.
That's why I didn't want to drink water.
I know.
When you said, why are you drinking, then my drinks started tasting different.
Yeah, that sounds like, I don't want to talk about anything.
Like, I don't want to touch anything, yeah.
All right.
Goodbye, Rejects.
Later Rejects.
Let us know in the comment.
if you want to bully us into watching the second one.
I'm not going to say no or the third one.
Oh, God, maybe.
Okay. All right, later.
