0:34
number 10. James Franco This is the End
0:38
one thing that can be said about this
0:40
movie’s cast they weren’t afraid to make
0:42
themselves look really unlikable
0:47
hey Johnny what’s up
0:49
never forget it again man good to see
0:52
you
0:54
this is the end is a scathing satire of
0:57
the entertainment industry painting many
0:59
celebrities as vain entitled and utterly
1:02
selfish people and none are as smug as
1:05
the fictionalized James Franco you play
1:07
video games yes guess what buddy you
1:10
like art yep you ever been to Subway yes
1:14
you ordered a sandwich somebody put that
1:16
together for you dude that’s art in fact
1:19
is pompous attitude directly results in
1:21
his death Franco is actually raptured
1:24
after a display of selflessness but he
1:26
ruins it by crudely mocking Danny
1:28
McBride on the way up he then swiftly
1:30
falls back to Earth where he is promptly
1:33
consumed some of the characters
1:34
ultimately learn their lesson James
1:37
Franco certainly does not I want to tell
1:40
you what happened Franco you don’t get
1:41
to get sucked up into heaven
1:46
number nine scut Farkas A Christmas
1:50
Story no one likes a tyrants and a
1:53
Christmas story has a bad one listen
1:56
jerk when I tell you to come you better
1:59
come the movie follows young Ralphie
2:02
Parker throughout the 1940 holiday
2:03
season like many kids he’s excited about
2:06
that one great present but he’s also
2:09
forced to deal with the nasty piece of
2:11
work in Scott Farkas even the name is
2:13
horrible
2:14
[Music]
2:24
hang out at us with his yellow eyes scud
2:27
mistreats Ralphie and his friends often
2:29
scaring them with his yellow eyes he had
2:32
yellow eyes and putting them in painful
2:34
positions until they beg uncle but he
2:37
finally gets his after throwing a
2:39
snowball at Ralphie the frustrated kid
2:41
had had enough and attacks his enemy
2:43
with a flurry of punches and insults
2:45
well we don’t condone violence it’s nice
2:48
to see our protagonist standing up for
2:50
himself to teach Farkas a lesson
2:52
something had happened a fuse blew and I
2:56
had gone out of my skull number eight
2:58
The Riddler Batman Forever casting Jim
3:02
Carrey as the Riddler was a stroke of
3:04
Genius I hope you made extra
3:07
who the hell are you
3:09
just a friend
3:11
but you can call me
3:14
The Riddler
3:16
[Music]
3:17
he’s a very Lively character and Carries
3:20
unique brand of energy is a perfect fit
3:22
the Riddler is incredibly self-satisfied
3:25
throughout Batman Forever we all know
3:27
the type those who think they’re smarter
3:29
than everyone around them and aren’t
3:31
afraid to boast about it this smugness
3:33
is practically ingrained in the
3:35
character as evidenced by the way he
3:37
maliciously taunts the hero with
3:39
elaborate puzzles go ahead
3:41
you’re a genius
3:44
[Laughter]
3:47
it doesn’t help that the Riddler is
3:49
actually a formidable foe figuring out
3:51
Bruce’s identity and successfully
3:53
destroying the bat cave still Batman
3:55
gets the last laugh wrecking the
3:57
brainwave collector that was crucial to
3:59
the Riddler’s plan well the villain ends
4:02
up at Arkham Asylum Edward please who is
4:06
Batman
4:10
Batman
4:15
number seven Fred O’Banion Dazed and
4:18
Confused we return to the theme of
4:21
school tormentors with Fred O’Banion a
4:24
two-time senior who loves mistreating
4:26
freshmen I heard they got you pretty bad
4:28
and I asked them to take it easy on you
4:31
I can’t believe they did that man God no
4:35
wonder Ben Affleck does a great job
4:37
playing the character and certainly as
4:39
the imposing presence needed for the
4:41
parts thanks to his convincing portrayal
4:43
we understand that unlike most of the
4:46
other seniors O’Banion doesn’t see the
4:48
initiation style rituals as a source of
4:51
fun no he genuinely hates the younger
4:54
students going to horrid extremes and
4:56
making their lives miserable nice try
4:58
freshman tell you what
5:01
for being such Brave little kids I’m
5:03
only going to give ishi a five licks
5:04
okay of course this makes this very
5:07
messy comeuppance all the sweeter sick
5:09
of albanians arrogance and behavior
5:11
mitchennis Pals scheme to cover him in
5:13
white paints it works perfectly and the
5:16
antagonist can do nothing but throw a
5:18
hissy fit and storm away in his car
5:29
number six Clark Goodwill Hunting Clark
5:33
plays a minor but iconic part of the
5:36
story of Goodwill Hunting a pretentious
5:38
Harvard student with bad hair he’s the
5:40
type of scholar who takes great pride in
5:42
his intelligence the economic modalities
5:45
especially in the southern colonies
5:47
could most aptly be characterized as
5:50
agrarian
5:52
he’s unbelievably arrogant often showing
5:56
off his memorized knowledge in a bid to
5:58
be praised he wants to be the smartest
6:00
guy in the room but his desperation
6:02
reeks of snooty haughtiness because wood
6:05
drastically underestimates the impact
6:07
with your Social Security would
6:08
drastically underestimates the impact of
6:10
social distinctions predicated upon
6:12
wealth especially inherited wealth
6:14
you got that from Vegas thankfully he’s
6:16
eventually put in his place by Will who
6:18
shatters his ego and dismantles his
6:21
education which is really just
6:23
plagiarizing textbooks the protagonist
6:25
later shows off a bit himself displaying
6:27
a woman named Skyler’s number to a
6:29
befuddled clerk how do you like their
6:31
Maps
6:33
we don’t think he likes them apples
6:36
number five Ed Rooney Ferris Bueller’s
6:39
Day Off dean of students Ed Rooney has a
6:43
good motive in theory one of his
6:44
students has been perpetually missing
6:46
school and he wants to get to the bottom
6:48
of it so far this semester he has been
6:51
absent nine times
6:55
nine times
6:56
nine times but he goes about it in all
7:00
the wrong ways he makes it his personal
7:02
Vendetta to track Ferris Bueller down
7:04
and that means skipping school for the
7:06
day himself we suppose he doesn’t see
7:09
the irony he’s also a very unlikable man
7:12
often acting self-righteously and
7:14
committing crimes
7:17
translation
7:19
game is up But ultimately he pays the
7:23
price Rooney gets absolutely battered
7:25
throughout the film and by the end he’s
7:27
left a filthy disheveled mess without a
7:29
car or any dignity and if think Ferris
7:32
gets away with everything so all that
7:34
misery was for Nothing by the way Mr
7:37
Rooney
7:38
you left your wallet on the kitchen
7:39
floor
7:41
[Music]
7:46
number four Hans Gruber Die Hard Hans
7:50
Gruber is a great villain for numerous
7:52
reasons namely because he’s a very smart
7:55
criminal because I am interested in the
7:58
640 million dollars in negotiable bearer
8:01
bonds that you have locked in your fault
8:04
his plan is quite elaborate he leads his
8:07
team with confidence and he’s carefully
8:09
thought out everything the problem is
8:11
that Hans knows he’s smart which makes
8:14
him a rather boastful man at one point
8:16
he even calls himself an exceptional
8:18
Thief I’m an exceptional Thief Mrs
8:20
McLean and since I’m moving up to
8:22
kidnapping you should be more polite
8:24
calling yourself exceptional is the very
8:28
definition of smugness but the good news
8:30
is that the hero John McLean foils
8:32
everything he kills most of the
8:34
villain’s crew saves the bearer bonds
8:36
and personally dispatches of Hans
8:38
himself the exceptional Thief dies with
8:40
a horrified expression on his face and
8:43
it’s very satisfying to see
8:44
[Music]
8:48
well I hope that’s not a hostage
8:51
number three Hans Landa Inglorious
8:55
Bastards few movie villains are as smug
8:58
as Hans Landa a Nazi officer Hans is
9:01
responsible for taking the lives of
9:03
countless innocent people in occupied
9:05
France you’re Sheltering enemies of the
9:07
state I am not
9:14
yes like Hans Gruber Landon knows he’s
9:18
smart he enjoys toying with his victims
9:20
and often plays polite before dropping
9:22
the veneer and watching them squirm
9:32
he’s all he’s all smiles by the end of
9:35
the film as he betrays Hitler and ends
9:37
the war for his own selfish reasons but
9:39
in a very gratifying Act of intelligence
9:41
protagonist Aldo rain finds a loophole
9:44
of sorts in the deal that Hans created
9:46
and in the process he crafts a very
9:48
shall we say permanent way of
9:50
identifying the villain’s allegiances
9:53
[Music]
9:55
I think this just might be my
9:57
masterpiece
9:59
number two Dolores Umbridge Harry Potter
10:03
and the Order of the Phoenix it’s no
10:05
small feat to rival Voldemort in terms
10:07
of sheer evil but Dolores Umbridge is
10:10
certainly in the running
10:12
you know
10:13
you know deep down
10:15
you deserve to be punished
10:19
don’t you Mr Potter her sickly sweet
10:21
fashion sense betrays her true motive
10:23
which is to squash any and all mention
10:26
of Voldemort and Hogwarts she’s
10:28
essentially the ministry’s propaganda
10:30
machine and she rules Hogwarts with an
10:32
iron fist what’s it mean
10:36
s
10:37
it means the ministry is interfering
10:42
Umbridge is also just fiercely
10:44
unappealing with her Draconian rules use
10:46
of unforgivable curses and that annoying
10:49
little titter this makes it all the more
10:51
rewarding when Harry Potter uses her own
10:53
words against her Hermione tricks
10:56
Umbridge into entering the Forbidden
10:57
Forest and Harry unleashes a Zinger of a
11:00
goodbye as she is hauled Away by the
11:02
centaurs
11:05

number one Jabba the Hutts Star Wars
11:29
Episode 6 The Return of the Jedi Karma
11:32
comes to Jabba the Hutt in the most
11:34
satisfying manner possible and it serves
11:36
as a highlight in the Star Wars Canon we
11:39
have awful friends you’re gonna regret
11:42
this
11:46
[Applause]
11:49
oh
11:51
Jabba is a real nasty piece of work and
11:54
perhaps one of the greediest antagonists
11:56
around aside from the violence
11:58
humiliation and mistreatment he inflicts
12:00
on others Jabba is also very conceited
12:03
he sees himself as an all-powerful
12:05
gangster who couldn’t possibly be
12:07
defeated and he continuously defies the
12:10
heroes
12:14
oh Jedi
12:17
George
12:21
he underestimates them but he really
12:23
shouldn’t have Luke Skywalker and his
12:26
band of good guys aptly defeat Jabba and
12:29
a wonderful bit of symbolism Princess
12:30
Leia kills the crime Lord with the
12:32
chains he forced her to Dawn karmic
12:35
defeat has never looked so sweet
12:45
