0:00 dude let's Rob these guys let's get them let's get these guys I feel like there should be like some sort of like f word a lot in court what's the f word yeah uh yeah like so my like like [Music] did you guys know that movie fans can now Sue over misleading trailers who are they suing the person that makes a trailer or the movie itself partially dumb as ████ but where's this going did you guys watch the movie called yesterday

0:58 James Bond those Ana one armas yeah oh that one okay from the two girls one cup thing all right no she so she did well later right no um Resurgence we're ruining the whole like ████ you guys okay no so so um they're fans of our Anna De armas and there's a movie called yesterday which stars Hamish Patel and like it's a movie about how a guy wakes up in a world where he's like hey uh anybody heard of The Beatles And everyone's like what the ████ is the Beatles and then he just does their music the premise is amazing really good really good friends really good premises oh really so then in the trailer for this movie she was like his love his alternative love interest he has a primary love interest but then she was like the alternative low mattress but then they did testing for the movie as they do always and they

1:49 were like yeah we don't want to detract from like the main love story because the audiences hate that he went with another chick eventually because like they love the original love story so we're just gonna ax it we're gonna pull it all out but in the trailer on a day armis is in there so these two ████ ████ they rent a movie for 3.99 they like split it losers right they rent us what they like split up pieces of ████ pieces of ████ come back and they did it through like red box they did it through Redbox three I'm talking 3.99 DVDs are always scratched up too exactly they're all ████ up they never work I will you know why I think because of conspiracy I think Netflix hires people just to ████ score that ████ they pay time to play Tic-Tac-Toe on the back and

2:39 then put it back just put a bunch of cats in the machine it's because heads do red box and chill and then they just they do lines on the on the movies um they rent the movie and then they're like what the ████ there's no MD armas so what are we gonna do and so they're like well let's ████ Sue because of emotional damages and ████ what stuff not emotional damages misrepresentation and false advertising they claimed that she was in the movie through a trailer and it's not the case and how many ████ movie trailers have we all watched where you see something some scene that doesn't exist in those oh yeah tons all the time because they made the trailer before the movie's done but now all these big movie studios have to ████ themselves because like oh no what if we false represent our audiences and they can sue us because they won how

3:29 much oh my so this sets the president pisses me off ████ that judge dude I thought there was gonna be way more sex which judge rule them that favor so they they sued for five million dollars what Mill yeah and they want I don't know how much they got what do we do to I what what's the quantification of like what's the five mil what is the fight I need this yeah five mil of heartbreak oh my god well they're saying false advertising and they won 2023 we need to scratch this entire business model find the right lawyer who's just as much a scumbag as us and just start suing ████ let's get in a lawsuit we're gonna I don't make a business off of leeching on others oh we should though well then you don't have to be a part of it we should do this in 2023. we gotta find our next and I'll sue you for excluding him

4:19 for making me feel bad oh I'll win that ████ lawsuit every day then what's the five mil represents isn't that wild I gotta let Anthony do the work Jesus gets the money and I sue him and then that's I don't have to work as hard that's good can we all Sue Anthony yeah I could understand if if they were like okay we'll give these two dudes their money back and then they had to pay like fines to whatever MPAA or some ████ but like what the heck is five mil to two guys that watched a movie so the district judged is it a class action Stephen Wilson is in order rejecting Universal's attempt to dismiss the case insisting that false advertising claims only stand when a significant portion of reasonable consumers could be deceived but he determined that Universal is correct that shows involves some creativity and editorial discretion

5:11 however this does not outweigh the commercial nature of a trailer at its core a trailer is an advertisement designed to sell a movie but providing consumers with a preview of the movie so they use that then disclose how much was one because they suited for five million I don't know how much don't they it could have been four dollars in trailers don't they have the uh like a disclaimer at the end like this is this may be modified from their original you know yeah and like the scenes could be whatever I think that's before a movie brother oh well shouldn't that ████ suffice for what the oh you're I know what you're saying you're saying like yeah really parent the guys blah blah and it's like this has been mortified the food you're screaming and perfect oh is that what you're thinking modify it's format I feel like this film is not yet been rated or like modified from the original I don't think it's like yo like this is a representation of

6:02 our film I could I could see that having something as major as Anna to armist not in the real that's a big difference yeah yeah that's like being a wonder fan yeah if you're a Wonder Woman trailer and then like she had a ████ wardrobe mishap and then her corset fell down and you're like dude I was expecting titties dude in the trailer there was there was titties yeah dude it's in the trailer there were titties honestly in the red band trailer it's like it's like a bunch of Steve heads right Steve Green fans who go what's funny who they're called stupid yeah yeah they go to see the movie called The Wedding ringer which you know I was in the trailer for and then they they cut yourself I've been cut from the film I wasn't I've been in the film um but imagine like the horror and like

6:53 that check the IMDb imagine psychologically like what's going on with these people well you guys can't relate you've never been in these things but I have and so like in like my old buddy Kev Hart like old Kev like he would he would have my back right now he'd be like oh my God I'm gonna Sue Dante Bosco because I thought Joe was gonna be in way more of a fabulous Filipino cheers but I'm gonna assume because he didn't put me on more but I'm also gonna assume that there's no way ████ Universal or whatever gave these guys five million dollars they had to at least go to a settlement of like 50 Grand I don't know or something you know what I mean like come on even even a settlement when they spent only four dollars to rent a Red Box movie and split it I'm gonna Sue Dante Bosco because I thought I was gonna watch a movie where judge's cow was playing Michael Jackson and he wasn't Michael's that offended me yeah I was

7:45 also offended that Joe apparently was Vietnamese in that movie right I did a better accent than you can no it was actually a really bad Vietnamese accent I had a Vietnamese color what is the automatic counter attack it was a really bad Vietnamese accident it was so excited was it bad no I had a Vietnamese coach there well then I'm gonna sue your coach Vietnamese cultural coach dude let's Rob these guys let's get them let's get these guys I feel like there should be like some sort of like f word a lot in court what's the f word ████ yeah uh yeah like somebody like like flashy oh yeah yeah and then they could just be like any time that it reaches the corner like get these two flashers out of here yeah that's really good flashy guy because like what the ████ like you paid three bucks 3.99 for the and they're soon for five million that's just being a flash that doesn't but this is probably the last time this is ever

8:36 gonna go no this is a precedent bro do you know what a president everything else is gonna ████ it starts like this or maybe it's just a disclaimer because of the two ████ stupid ass flashers we now have to look yeah hey do you guys look I might Sue I'm not gonna lie I might Sue not a joke if you guys remember Sam Ravi Spider-Man 2001 there was a trailer and it came out Bard knows this Spider-Man's is stomping a diamond Heist there's a helicopter that's flying through New York City and all of a sudden the helicopter stops moving and you look up and between the two towers there's a helicopter spun up in a spider's oh wow but guess what ████ I never saw that ████ in the movie and I want my ████ money you pieces of ████ cut that scene yeah

9:27 wow you know why they cut it why Twin Towers right because the Twin Towers weren't there anymore oh my gosh well it's funny nothing I'm ready to get my ████ money I was damaged by that I went to see this movie and I was so excited about that scene I was like I had boners and all kinds of excitement I was 13. the whole the whole time all the things that you're excited about when you're through they think they stole your childhood that's a lot of them brought me in my job do you think also people sued the New York tourism Bureau that year laughs if we're double it down they must hate money it's a whole cash grass we're both going down on this ████ [Music]
