"The Other Guys" - The Dumbest Serious Movie Ever Made

<p>The Other Guys is one of those comedy staples that will live forever in the comedy movie hall of fame. We break down why Will Ferrell playing the put together guy in the room, instead of the usual idiot, is one of the best running jokes he&#39;s ever done. We get into how Adam McKay hid real commentary on the 2008 financial crisis inside one of his dumbest, funniest comedies, and how that satire ended up being the first step toward him making The Big Short. We also talk about the deleted ending featuring Derek Jeter that hinted at a sequel that never happened. And we discuss why this movie never gets brought up in comedy conversations despite being one of the most quotable films Will Ferrell has ever made.</p><p><br></p><p>Chapters:</p><p>00:00 Announcements</p><p>0:41 The ultimate comedy duo</p><p>7:00 The Adam McKay Will Ferrell breakup</p><p>11:50 Will Ferrell leveling up Mark Wahlberg’s comedy</p><p>18:20 How The Other Guys creates funny scenes</p><p>21:38 Greatest opening to a comedy movie</p><p>25:12 Adam McKay covering real topics disguised as a comedy</p><p>30:24 The finances of The Other Guys</p><p>34:41 Donald Trump almost made it in the movie</p><p>37:01 Our favorite moments from this movie</p><p>51:03 Dirty Mike and Boys outtakes</p><p>54:54 Our final thoughts</p>
