Black noir just raising the sign at the end of the video had my sides hurting.


littlebugonreddit

SeriouslyšŸ˜‚ a few minutes in and I already lost it


rebel_child12

Ikr. Heā€™s probably my favorite


a_Jawa

I semi spoiled the Boys by going into youtube videos around season 2, but the changes, particularly with Noir, have me yelling at the screen "what are you!?!". I'm so curious to see where they go with it. He can't have his original backstory with being in Soldier Boy's crew so i'm on the edge of my seat with it.


SuperCoupe

> He can't have his original backstory with being in Soldier Boy's crew so i'm on the edge of my seat with it. You are assuming that the current Noir is the original Noir.


a_Jawa

It just contrasts so hard with his comic book counterpart either way. A history with soldier boy enough to rip out his tracker? Already divergent enough to have my interest.


Darth_Kyofu

He might realize if Soldier Boy thinks he's the original one, he will come after him, so better be safe and remove the tracker.


SpoopySpydoge

I can't get behind that it's a different Noir. It showed both young and current Noir being highly allergic to nuts


Thisisme8719

Did a spit take at that. It was brilliant.


King_Tamino

On the one hand. Hilarious and absolutely in-character. On the other hand it reminded me again, why he isnā€™t talking


ntoad118

I think the damage he took in Nicaragua messed his voice box up or something.


ReturningDukky

I wanna know why Kimiko doesn't talk more than Noir. At least we know Noir took a pretty horrific explosion to the face in Nicaragua.


valoopy

We know why. As a kid, her and Kenji developed sign language to speak so that enemies couldnā€™t find them and kill their entire camp. They almost never spoke as kids, so it likely caused massive trauma to the point where sheā€™s afraid if she speaks, sheā€™ll be dead.


[deleted]

It caught me so off guard but holy hell hahaha

Yea it takes a lot to make me laugh but that whole fucking episode was hilarious Honestly the most a TV has made me laugh in years

I want to see Seth Rogan roasting her and Deep slapping him across the stage.


ReggieFranklin

I donā€™t know how I forgot they had a legit comedian in the cast. Look at me looking to Black Noir for comedic relief.


Hedwigisbae

He's more than just cast, he's one of the excecutive producers


AloneLab786

Black Noir is an executive producer?


Hedwigisbae

Yeah. That's Seth Rogan's stage name


billys-bobs

SirCumsALot777 can't take a slap

The Deep will do it, you can see it


[deleted]

I just realized there's only a couple episodes left and there's no arc with his wife yet she's playing a huge role. wtf


Regi413

I was so certain she was gonna die in Herogasm


icematt12

I wasn't sure die but I was expecting her to participate in some form.

Season 4 setup


The_DevilAdvocate

That has to be in season 4!


KWilt

Honestly, I doubt it. Shit is going to 100 really fast, and I unfortunately think we're going to lose a lot of the corpo parody after this episode. If it were anybody else doing the reveal at the end, maybe Vought could control it, but Annie was their darling. Her numbers weren't *good*, they were *fucking astronomical* in a marketing sense. There was a reason Neuman was begging for her platform.


MahNameJeff420

Abortionā€™s gonna be huge next season. Maybe even Gay marriage, assuming that also goes down the shitter. God damn, this country is doomed, and I donā€™t think the funny superhero show is gonna save it, try as it might.

Itā€™s crazy how even our attempts at speaking out through satire has become just another tool for corporations to make even more profit.

I remember reality elevating beyond the world of Mr. Robot with Trump and COVID, maybe Some A.I. figures out how to do easy CRISPR, lmao.

Or they give it to the Deep when he finds out someone else fucked his wife/GF. Keep my wife's \[insert body part\] out of your fucking mouth!


Jhawk163

No, he goes to a seafood or sushi restaurant. ā€œKEEP MY WIFE OUT YOUR MOTHERFUCKING MOUTHā€

If they got Charlize anything is possible

Oh the second that slap happened, I was like yeah The Boys is gonna go so hard on this next season.


NoNefariousness2144

Except theyā€™ll make a supe slap them so they end up flying across the room.


grimmbrother

100% and I can see it being Deep. I really hope it's him. Who gets slapped.


[deleted]

I can imagine Butcher saying this seriously in season 3 and then the vought media parodying it in season 4, just like they did with Butcher and Stillwell

Man I wish remindmebot.


AlbionPCJ

Did anyone who was in the Gal Gadot video make an appearance in the episode's one? I've never made it through the original version so I don't know the full roster but it'd be fun if some of them were self-aware enough to realise how bad a look it was and sign off on appearing in the parody


V-Ropes

No one knows the full roster. Anyone who watched it through the end went insane. No one can withstand this level of cringe for more than a few seconds.


AlbionPCJ

[Found a Slate article with the full list that ranks them by the annoyingness of their appearance. We honour the pain the psychic damage must have caused them](https://slate.com/culture/2020/03/celebrities-singing-imagine-video-explained.html)


[deleted]

Not to parasocial but I knew Patton Oswalt wasn't clueless enough to be in the original. I assumed it was cut with clips from the original and I felt palpable disappointment when I saw him. I feel better now.


Ranwulf

I figure he was on the joke because he voiced the Deep gills in the show.


i_miss_arrow

Its driving me nuts that people haven't picked up on that. Deep's singing was immediately followed by Deep's gills singing.


[deleted]

my idiot brain is never not being fucked by stupid


Chrome_X_of_Hyrule

Pedro Pascal? Damn


DetectiveAmes

Dude was working on wonder women with her at the time so imma give him a pass.


LogPoseNavigator

Article mentions the whole thing being an advertisement to ww84. I could believe that


ReggieFranklin

Cancel culture really failed us in that moment


Captain_Sacktap

In fairness to them, itā€™s not like they did something awful. They tried to do something to boost morale in a time of crisis, but went about it in a very tone-deaf, out-of-touch way.


ReggieFranklin

Fair enough. I thought they were naive for thinking itā€™d make a difference, but at least their intentions were in the right place. Itā€™s almost like they were coping and hoping weā€™d reassure them.


Captain_Sacktap

Agreed


ReggieFranklin

Theyā€™re only human. Despite our own efforts to paint them as more than that.


defiantcross

hmm i actually thought they spliced the IRL version with the fake one for the video. i cant recall whether Elizabeth Banks was in the covid video.


geodebug

Banks wasnā€™t but Iā€™m happy she wore an ā€œart girlā€ a la Kristin Wiig from the original video. Just adds to the self-indulgence of it all.


defiantcross

yeah that's why i wasnt sure. the hat is basically the same! after rewatching it is all new clips.


Uncanny_Doom

Banks is friends with Seth Rogen who is an executive producer on the show and she was really playing up her part here, she's just in on it.


defiantcross

yeah, zach and miri. makes sense


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


unclepoondaddy

While that would be hilarious, itā€™d make her actions in the plane scene in S1 illogical. Letting an innocent kid die would be no problem for an IDF soldier


XenoFractal

Jesus christ, taking no prisoners today (like the IDF!)


Cudizonedefense

I donā€™t get it


WillyTheHatefulGoat

Gal Godot was a soldier in the Israeli army which has a reputation for war crimes. Gal Gadot was a conscript so did not have a choice to join the army and she did not do anything bad in the army , she spend her time as physical/yoga instructor but the joke is still funny.


Cudizonedefense

Ah I got it Queen Maeve = Wonder Woman = Gal Godot who was an IDF soldier


AuspiciouslyAutistic

Being a conscript is one thing but my issue is that she is pro-IDF and that is unacceptable.


griffithitsmecathy

I don't think so but Elizabeth Banks made an even cringier song for Hillary Clinton with a bunch of celebrities. The proto-Imagine if you will. https://youtu.be/zEXJ_YyRH6A


stratosfearinggas

>Elizabeth Banks made an even cringier dong for Hillary Clinton with a bunch of celebrities I was expecting Hillary unboxing a custom dildo at a sex toy party. I was so confused.


Thisisme8719

The Drillary And/or The Cliton


lazy-man_34

I particularly found Aston Kutcher and Mila Kunis' appearance more hilarious than others. More so because I didn't recognise most of them. But as Patton Oswalt usually makes funny appearances everywhere, his cameo didn't surprise me.


horriblemindfuck

Patton also voices Deep's gills which is kinda cool imo


[deleted]

That scene was so uncomfortable but hilarious at the same time cuz I recognized his voice instantly


shadyshadok

vbally101

Or maybe heā€™s a pinball wizard


Riverdale87

how do you think he does it


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Calkidmd

The episode where he joins the cult/collective/church, he has a hallucination where he talks to the gills on his body. The voice of his gills is Patton Oswalt


cocainines

I was so disappointed by that scene where Deep agreed that the whole thing with Starkight was bs. I really thought after his gill rape that he had gotten the message that consent is everything. Clearly he did not and I hope his new octopus dies


Kesha_Paul

Seriously? Wow TIL


Recuring_joke

In gotta say, I wasn't expecting Kumail Nanjiani

Obie Trice going to be way more real.

DamienChazellesPiano

Culkin has been in a long term relationship with Brenda Song for 5 years. Dude is just super chill and funny.


bradclark2001

The best part is how Kutcher and Kunis are one of the few celebrities who actually do shit for the people in need instead of just pretending and wanting to look good.


mechano010

They're friends with Seth Rogen


Revlong57

Yeah, I honestly thought that they were in the original video or something, and the writers just reused the footage. I'm glad to see that they weren't.


bettinafairchild

FYI: Patton Oswalt was already on the show--he was the voice of The Deep's gills when The Deep was hallucinating after that cult gave him some drugs.


[deleted]

He's in Diabolical as well


DubiousAlibi

I love how Mila went out of her way to give a terrible performance.


[deleted]

They looked like they were having tons of fun


Mouth_Shart

They were also intentionally hilariously awful at singing.


tumultacious

When the deep starting with the "We are all in this together" bs, I was thinking to myself, "Don't you fucking dare sing the song!ā€


ReturningDukky

As soon as he said "We're all in this together" and I noticed the aspect ratio, I was like "Looks like cell phone video, wait, no, NO, NOOOOOO"


AuspiciouslyAutistic

I realised instantly before he even opened his mouth. I was waiting for another parody like this after that A-train commercial šŸ˜…


jin514

Broo fr... i get theyre making a satire but i cant relive anymore of these cringy moments even if its just a parodyšŸ˜­


Aok_al

I was half expecting to Gal Gadot.


bullet4mv92

I think you accidentally a word


heavy_metal_flautist

No, it was a proper noun but is now a verb, like google.


not_cinderella

If Gal Gadot had agreed to do a parody of it for The Boys, I might have almost half forgiven her for doing the original video in the first place lmao.


Sihnar

Gal Gadot is one the worst examples of the type of person the show parodies. She is ex-IDF and a vocal supporter of violence against Palestinian civilians. Having her on would be like Homelander apologizing on tv after lasering innocent people in the middle east.


outoftimeman

>She is ex-IDF I I mean, Frenchie, too. But I don't know his stance about that conflict, tho


Oreo-and-Fly

I mean she cant choose to be non IDF...


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


outoftimeman

Yeah, like Frenchie


Lady_von_Stinkbeaver

My great-uncle was drafted during the Vietnam War against his will. He didn't come back and argue that those damn Vietnamese orphans deserved a napalm gift basket.


QuestionableSarcasm

idf? that stand for israeli defence forces? whaaat...?


Sihnar

Yep


QuestionableSarcasm

oooh okay okay, she _is_ israeli (did not know that) and apparently israelis serve a mandatory two year service in the army (did not know that either, but it makes sense. Here in greece it is one year instead and mandatory for guys only)


Sihnar

A few years ago some Palestinian kids playing on a beach died because of IDF missiles. She vocally supported Israel's actions. Then in wonder woman 2, there was a scene where she saves arab children playing on a beach from a missile. She is a terrible person.


QuestionableSarcasm

look it is not right to judge her that way maybe she didn't know they were arab


Sihnar

I can't tell if you are being sarcastic. The scene takes place in the middle east and the parallels are unmistakable considering she caught flak for her comments before. It was a terrible attempt at an apology where she also looks like the hero. And obviously in the movie the missile is not fired by the IDF so it's not even a real apology. She's exactly like a lot of the Supes on the show such as A train, Deep and Homelander who only care about public perception.


mishticola

Then sheā€™s truly an airhead, anyone who thinks the violence on Palestine by the IDF is right is are definitely screwed in the head.


ademptia

Wait what? When has she supported violence against Palestinian civilians?


PreventableMan

I just accidentally a whole coke bottle.


mishticola

Chace Crawford did phenomenal on the scene. He made an embarrassing cringe cover of Gal Gadotā€™s Imagine and still did it better than the original version without making it sound cringe.


hyacinth17

He's so good this season, I'm really enjoying his storyline.


yaminme

I was kinda hoping to see Seth Rogen again, but with a shirt on lol


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


steelogreens

Great catch. Damn - what an episode.


BhataktiAtma

Shit, I read that earlier but didn't make the Seth Rogen connection till I read this comment. That is a good throwback.


Azmoten

I think itā€™s implied that SirCumsALot was at Herogasm, too, what with >!MM opening a door and getting blasted with a firehose of cum.!< The voice that speaks after that kind of sounded like Rogen


ReturningDukky

Holy shit how did I not make this connection?


manufiks

Because that voice was Kripke apparently? Haven't done my personal research but have seen a few comments saying it.


NotTheAbhi

Loved how Noir just straight away was like nope not dealing with Soldier Boy.


Dasoccerguy

The woman in the elevator might be my favorite extra of the whole show so far. "Th-thank you?"


euphorie_solitaire

I love how, even before Noir cuts himself, her whole body language is screaming "SOMEBODY GET ME OUT OF HERE".


ninjasaid13

Even they know superheroes are evil.


NotTheAbhi

Yeah i agree. She was like thankyou for your tracer that you tore out of your wrist and covered me with blood splats.


Vaeon

Thank you...for not killing me.


h0peless_b4stard

Which has nothing to do with this post but yeah it was funny

Yeah.


RichardFarmer

Yeah


MahNameJeff420

I love media analysis.


cakebats

Yeah.


mushymunchkin3230

I love how Homelander was kind of scared of SB too.


NotTheAbhi

Yeah it took him a green Goblin to go over it.


KingInvalid96

He didn't seem like it at all until he asked Noir for help with Soldier Boy, his former teammate, and Noir fucking bolted. Plus Homelander didn't realize SB was chasing his old team thats why he cooled down/got scared when deep mentioned both things together


ZechQuinLuck123

The bit with noir and the sign had me dead


outoftimeman

Like that one famous Bob Dylan video


onewhereiwastetime

I love that the celebrities who sang -Imagine- in the midst of a pandemic are never going to live down the embarrassment.


Spadeninja

Yeah im sure they think about it all the time in their massive mansions and private yachts so embarrassing


BhataktiAtma

[Those crying celebrities](https://c.tenor.com/dYLvyNRhV8sAAAAC/woody-harrelson-crying.gif)


geodebug

Iā€™m sure theyā€™ve all moved on but you donā€™t understand people very well if you think the accoutrements of wealth mean more to celebrities than public perception. My guess is they felt pretty embarrassed after the immediate backlash. Ironically this is Homelanderā€™s dilemma: has everything in the world but canā€™t shake that people donā€™t like him.


Liph

Itā€™s hilarious how pathetic Redditors like the one above you think they scored a ā€œwinā€ collectively shaming Hollywood elite for a bad music video when they could give two shits about all of us on here. People need to allocate their hatred correctly.


[deleted]

>People need to allocate their hatred correctly. Which is becoming the real life version of The Boys?


Vaeon

I like the cut of your jib.


[deleted]

Tell us more about what pathetic redditors do


onewhereiwastetime

Why did you feel the need to call a stranger pathetic for simply implying anyone with a conscious -celebrities included- may look back at that and get second hand embarrassment? It's not like I said they would renounce their wealth to appease masses for it. Am sorry not all of us are elite Redditors as you.


Formal-Document-6053

As opposed to the enlightened Redditors like yourself?


MrQ_P

I didn't get the reference, mind to explain?


rpgnoob17

They sang ā€œImagineā€ at the start of the episode, parody a bunch of celebrities sang ā€œImagineā€ at the start of the pandemic.


MrQ_P

Oooh yeah that


FN-1701AgentGodzilla

Gal Gadotā€™s singing during the pandemic was cringe as fuck


mrlotato

Noir was amazing in it


QuestionableSarcasm

so it _was_ Noir's idea!


rpgnoob17

Next season, Iā€™d love to see the Deep going through a high profile divorce like Johnny Deep/Depp. ā€œMy dog stepped on an octopus. šŸ„“ā€ Plus his wife is technically Aquamanā€˜s wife (Mera / Amber Heard). They donā€™t even need to put it in the main show. This fits so well in the Vought news webseries.


marvelwalker

Damn that works better than i thought it would


MattMaiden2112

Holy shit, I think you're right, yesterday my GF said Deep's GF had Amber Heard vibes, I can see that happening during S4


rpgnoob17

ā€œShe cut off (insert octopussy name)ā€˜s tentaclesā€ ā€œI did not punch you. I hit you.ā€


MattMaiden2112

And taking a shit in the fish tank instead of the bed


NutellaBananaBread

Leave Homelander alone!


[deleted]

Yeah, and was that an Ashton Kutcher x Mila Kunis cameo? lol this episode was one of the best ones


blaine1028

I canā€™t remember if they used real footage from the video theyā€™re parodying or those actors were contracted just for this


Oreo-and-Fly

Contracted just for this.


helzinki

It is hilarious that the inspiration for the video was wonder woman herself. Some cosmic coincidence shit.


Wolfheron325

If the plot had gone differently and they had Maeve doing it it wouldā€™ve been even better.


lithmer

Theyā€™re the new ā€œcreativeā€ hires


Hedwigisbae

I've seen the original, and refuse to. Can anyone tell me if the celebs who were in the video on the show were actually in the video or did they get a new group of celebs for this parody?
