3 Movie and TV Show Relationships That Make No Sense - Obsessive Pop Culture Disorder

[Music] my name is Daniel Joseph Nicholas O'Brien which yes means you can call me DJ nobs if you want and welcome to a brand new episode of obsessive pop-culture disorder the show that talks about pop culture so much that it practically screams this host doesn't have a girlfriend to reel-to-reel today's episode explores really but I just referenced being alone and lonely we're going to do a whole episode about relationships cool fun thanks let's look at friends who are meaning to each other and no I don't mean the friends from the show the friends I mean friends in a general sense for movies and TV although fault oh yes the friends from the show the friends is actually throw a good jumping-off point now that I think about it skip here are some friends from show called friends which we have to assume is a bad friend give me your money tongue I've watched whole movies of you eating ding-dongs without taking the tinfoil off me head me Eddie [Applause] they're so mean the main friends from friends aren't the only mean friends let's look at the cool group of buddies from American Pie I get an idea about something new how about you guys actually locate your dick remove the shrink-wrap and do you use them or these cool buddies from Seinfeld yaar ball you look like your five-year-old oh hey pop guys growing stuff whatever I gotta do just stop for ceremony I thought we were friends were these admitted friends from critically-acclaimed what what the ding dong just right now coming like a hentai things you know no I just keep seeing obsessed you don't even turn you into your cup 4 because my friend but that was obviously a bad column I didn't report you before cuz we were friends but in the meantime you are you wear a dress later there's a fetish or something that's probably vaguely racist anyway I don't know I don't care I'm gonna get you fired now good buddy remember I said from before how we were friends q I'll admit that there's some degree of chop-busting that goes hand-in-hand with every relationship I've ever had I gave my closest friends [ __ ] and they Misha it's true but what Hollywood ignores is that egg this ship giving is occasional and not the totality of close friendship and B it's mostly born out of understanding each other when I give my friends a hard time I'm not saying you're a bad person and I hate you for your flaws I'm generally calling out some innocuous flaw or court they have in a way that says we're having fun here but I want to make this joke because I'm close to you and I know you so well the jokes I make with my closest friends are celebrations of how well we know each other and confirmations that we are right for getting along and also again importantly hear me it's occasional TV seems to think the totality of close friendships is roasting which is insane most of my conversations with close friends aren't like attacking each other that would be inseparable my friends and I talk about normal stuff stuff like so normal stuff normal stuff is what I scat damn it okay movies up for a long time perpetuated this idea that guys like to talk about specific sexual situations with other guys on a regular basis my dated this girl for a while she was really a nasty freak she just loved to get down with sex all the time she was like any time of day she was like yeah let's go I'm so nasty and I'd be nailing her oh [ __ ] she'd be like ah you're nailing me cool like I sit around asking what's the sex like which is to say what happens when you and your girlfriend have sex like what is this all born from greasily she puts down oh let me tell you ever think about regaining I know it probably seems hard to believe based on my this situation but I have friends and they have sex and harder still to believe hi do to everybody I do a healthy sex life and I rarely talk about it and never share the specific details and what I need with my friends we never talk like this there is a weird trope that assumes close male friends like to talk about the specifics of this specificity is insane to me two guys talk about a troublesome relationship and one guys shimmies his shoulders and leans in like good weird special sex though right and the other guys like oh yeah let me tell you about it in detail here comes but the only time I have ever in my life considered asking what is the sex like was when I was a child before I'd had sex I've had friends who've gotten engaged and I'm pretty sure it would destroy our relationship if I was like oh you're gonna marry her huh must be pretty good your wife-to-be must be pretty good as else you would want to stick with it she could describe it to me crazy ex-girlfriend gets it right beautiful yeah like school kind of stuff I got the money you ever hear of a Mississippi lobe slide no okay you're gross you need to grow up I do your movies I'm 31 years old I'm a man and an uncle and a full participant in sex and I never asked about the sex that my friends have so stopping stop including an idea in your in your movies the syntax got away from me I started with dear movies and then ended with stop including that in your movies which must be wrong but the broader point is shut up movies you're wrong movies suck Morris is a cool hunky popular Native American cross country star slash D director slash rock star slash time god slash accomplished basketball players slash student council member slash SAT genes got on the show screech is an inventor slash nerd slash weird creep slash a social mutant slash Zacks best friend and the best man at his wedding seriously Zack Morris can manipulate time and screech built an actual robot and their relationship is still the most inexplicable part of the show most inexplicable can I say least explicable and things just ever are things ever just explicable like a dog barks and you just like that's explicable anyway let's look at the cool buddies in the hangover movies hey guys you're a let the dogs out what do what let the dogs out you know what who let the dogs out who brought this guy along I'm not talking about Zach Galifianakis character he's along for the ride because he's related to someone relevant to the plot he wasn't explicitly anyone's best friend but cool fun rabble-rousing do phil is supposed to be best friends with uptight fun hating wine machine Stu Stu is don't don't get soft white rice in lukewarm water they hang out all the time despite clearly having nothing in common they're supposed to be such good friends that they worry that an outsider like Galifianakis is going to ruin their fun that's an actual plot point hey drugged us I lost the truth I married a [ __ ] how dare you she's a nice lady in Ferris Bueller's Day Off I get the relationship between Sloane and Ferris that makes sense it's explicable so explicable he's magic and she's perfect but why is Ferris and most popular guy in school best friends with a no-fun having nervous wreck that is Cameron I get the friends can have different tastes and interest but first have to spend literally hours convincing Cameron to have a fun day with him I feel like complete [ __ ] fair I can't go anywhere I'm sorry to hear that that come on over here and pick me up is it always like that how do they ever have fun together under normal circumstances what do they talk about when there's not a steam ball game or art museum to distract themselves like sharise great a Cameron no not for me Ferris I hate my dad's I'm actually depressed life moves pretty fast really because for me it feels unrelentingly slow and endless we see the trend a lot in cartoons - total rebel punk and uber nervous nerd or Simpson Milhouse Tommy pickles Chuckie Finster and I list more now but in the researching of this episode I googled jock and nerd friendship cartoon and got a bunch of fans drawn pictures of strong jock boys and shiny nerdy boys and that's the sort of thing that stuff's research right in its tracks the genre of imagine jocks being secretly romantically linked to imagine nerds seem to be bringing joy to a very specific corner of the internet legislature and found your happiness anyway my point is this a thing exists the thing I said about friendship can I get that in real life friendships aren't exactly identical and we're not all going to agree on everything but having a best friend who was your polar opposite seems like it would be difficult on a purely functional level kentucky's cameron's and screeches of the world aren't interested in or as good at the things that the Tommies charrisse's is and Zacks of the world are I know what Hollywood does this by the way it's more interesting to see a diverse group of people in a situation because they want to show a variety in the reactions that the characters have if Phil's friends in the hangover we're all carefree really douchebags who wouldn't get a spectrum of reactions just a bunch of chill dudes with hangovers and that's not interesting my point is there's got to be a way to still have a variety of reactions and points of view without straining audience credulity by forcing an implausible friendship down our throats man I like that sense felt good about that sense it felt good sliding out the mouth I want to end on that sentence I have decided that's it for this episode join us next month when our topic will be what if the cars from the movie cars were actually planes wait they already did that okay what if the planes from cars were toys what they did that okay then what's the thing that's not a I've in real life that hasn't been brought to life in an animated movie that's what the eff is going to be about one of the things from what if the nonliving thing was alive Wow now now see that that didn't feel good tricking out the old hole credulity it's the liquid you correct plural ization of points of view that all felt nice smooth smooth D they'll call me chill chill chill chill all right hey everyone thanks for watching make sure you do all the YouTube things that you're accustomed to do for anyone who is going to in the comments tell me that Saracen camera friends because of an earlier draft of the script Ferris met a troubled guy and tried to help but didn't that person committed suicide and Ferris felt responsible so that's why he hangs out with this equally troubled guy as sort of a penance for that I know it seems hard to believe but I hope we never run into each other a party

This man doesn't understand friendship or television.

Since when do friends not take the piss out of each other? I say mean stuff to my friends that I would never say to a stranger.
