Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:29 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
Starting point is 00:01:04 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.
Starting point is 00:01:19 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
Starting point is 00:01:52 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.
Starting point is 00:02:41 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?
Starting point is 00:02:59 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...
Starting point is 00:03:15 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
Starting point is 00:03:39 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
Starting point is 00:04:00 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
Starting point is 00:04:17 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
Starting point is 00:04:33 how did this get sequels like I must have made money what's it rated R I mean look I remember John telling me
Starting point is 00:04:47 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.
Starting point is 00:04:59 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.
Starting point is 00:05:22 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
Starting point is 00:05:31 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
Starting point is 00:05:40 yeah the overall like effect on the soul I think is really well done the acting is especially from the main
Starting point is 00:05:52 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
Starting point is 00:06:01 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
Starting point is 00:06:16 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.
Starting point is 00:06:30 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.
Starting point is 00:06:57 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
Starting point is 00:07:12 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
Starting point is 00:07:32 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.
Starting point is 00:08:17 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.
Starting point is 00:08:43 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
Starting point is 00:09:00 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
Starting point is 00:09:16 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
Starting point is 00:09:32 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
Starting point is 00:09:52 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?
Starting point is 00:10:32 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.
Starting point is 00:10:45 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.
Starting point is 00:11:27 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.
Starting point is 00:11:37 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. So, needless to say, I didn't grow up learning how to save or invest.

Starting point is 00:13:30 Wait. No, no. That was, the, they were filming Justice Lee, so if the conscience got condensed. Chase Lee. Why? Just why.
Starting point is 00:13:41 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
Starting point is 00:13:56 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
Starting point is 00:14:10 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.
Starting point is 00:14:24 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
Starting point is 00:14:39 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.
Starting point is 00:14:57 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.
Starting point is 00:15:11 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
Starting point is 00:15:23 rather be the front of the human centipede. Same. But if I had to be the middle
Starting point is 00:15:31 of a centipede or the back, oh, I don't know. And the thing about Art the clown is like
Starting point is 00:15:39 you do eventually die. The centipe I don't I don't is that but. Art the clown
Starting point is 00:15:45 has that ability to make you stay a lot. I remember that in the Laura has ability to
Starting point is 00:15:48 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
Starting point is 00:16:26 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
Starting point is 00:16:48 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
Starting point is 00:17:05 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
Starting point is 00:17:22 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.
Starting point is 00:17:51 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.
Starting point is 00:18:04 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.
Starting point is 00:18:15 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.
Starting point is 00:18:36 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.
Starting point is 00:18:46 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.
