Hodgetwins analyze the box office failure of 'Bros,' noting its $22 million budget yielded only $5 million initially. They critique the trailer for depicting gay people as sexual deviants, specifically citing a cut scene involving a $30,000 butt rig simulating rimming. The hosts argue that focusing on over-the-top sex and monkeypox alienated straight audiences, contrasting this with successful portrayals of normal gay professionals like lawyers or doctors. Ultimately, they suggest the film's demonization of its own community mirrors past homophobic tropes, proving that normalization is key to mainstream success. [Automatically generated summary]

The First Gay Comedy00:01:52
Yeah, got a new show for y'all.
Got a damn good show.
All right, so the very first gay comedy.
I'm so excited.
I can't wait to see this.
Hit the theaters.
We need more inclusivity in Hollywood.
We got all these straight comedies.
We got all these straight movies.
I want to see some gay comedy.
But you know what?
The straight comedies, they're not straight comedies.
They're just comedies.
It is comedies.
So all we got to have a gay comedy.
Why don't you just make it a comedy with gay people?
There's a difference.
Gay comedy and gay people in a comedy.
Yeah.
See, gay comedy, it's too gay.
Well, not really.
A gay comedy?
No, kids in a hole.
All those dudes was gay.
Yeah, but those are gay men doing comedy.
Right, right, right.
Right.
A gay comedy is a lot different from gay people doing comedy.
You see what I'm saying?
I'm following you on that.
I'm telling you, I'm not Socrates.
I'm Socrates.
I'm black Socrates over here.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, I totally follow you, man.
But look at the trailer.
I'm not going to show you the whole trailer.
It's just...
Just look at some of it.
Hey guys, it's Bobby Lieber coming to you from the future home of the LGBTQ plus Museum.
Everyone is really excited and totally getting along.
This happens to be bisexual awareness week and no one has acknowledged it.
Lesbian History Month was in March.
Nobody said a goddamn thing.
Of course, lesbians get a month and we get a week.
So what's happening?
Didn't you guys have an announcement?
This is a little unexpected.
We are in a thrupple situation.
You're in a thrupple?
I hope y'all get it.
Being alone.
I love my life.
I love my freedom.
I love my independence.
That's kind of sad that I don't want to be in a thrupple.
I don't even want to be in a couple.
Bobby, I had sex with that 65-year-old.
Over-The-Top Gay Stereotypes00:04:34
Jesus, he's ripped.
I know.
It's like they injected steroids into Dumbledore.
Oh, my God.
That's Aaron.
Is that Pastor Lock?
It looked like Pastor Lock for a second, did it?
Man, why'd y'all call it bros?
Yeah, you should have called it Glory Hole.
Been much more fitting for this movie.
I mean, from looking at this trailer, y'all demonize your own people.
Well, you make gay people look like sexual deviants.
And that's all y'all think about.
Which, I don't know.
That may be how y'all think.
I don't know.
From what I've seen at those gay properies, y'all do like some lewd, lascivious, deviant sexual people.
Yeah.
But I don't think all gay people are like that.
I don't even think the majority of gay people are like that.
Yeah, but the way y'all portray gay people, y'all took another step back another three, 400 years.
I mean, y'all even demean your own people.
I mean, you sitting gay people in a bad light.
Yeah.
I mean, like, looking at this trailer, what did y'all do when people got there?
Give them 3D glasses and stuff dildos in the mouth, too?
Yeah, you hand them out lube.
You know what I mean?
You put on 3D glasses.
You look at it.
You just feel stuff spitting in the face.
All the gay people went to the movie.
They're like this.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, I caught that one too.
You know what?
This movie was so gay.
They actually pull up his website.
They had a scene that they cut out.
They cut out a scene, huh?
Yeah.
Bro, Sex Scene used a $30,000 butt rig.
A $30,000 butt rig.
To simulate rimming.
Then they cut it out to the film.
White Lotus Beat Us to the Punch.
So I guess some other production used.
A butt rig?
Yeah.
So it's like, I mean, if you're...
That's rimming.
Is that licking butt?
It's licking buttholes, ain't it?
It's something.
I got to look it up.
I hear it all the time.
Remin.
I think it's licking buttholes.
But if y'all had that in the movie, I noticed it's not only gay, it's over-the-top gay.
Straight people are not trying to see this.
Yeah.
And majority of the population is straight, so look like you would try to appeal to both if it's possible.
Yeah, y'all.
Y'all had a couple of homophobic guys in there.
Like, you could have grabbed us.
Yeah.
We'd have been perfect.
We could, like, shit on each other, and then y'all win the story by making us look bad.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, a little give and take.
Could have made us like Archie Bunker.
Remember Archie Bunker?
He was kind of like...
Even Red Fox Semford and Son, he was like racist.
Yeah, he was homophobic, too.
He was homophobic and racist.
But they won't put those type of shows on TV anymore.
I mean, but the main reason, how much did this show spend making this movie?
The budget was $22 million.
$22 million.
The weekend was just under $5 million.
$5 million.
Yeah, so they didn't hold $15 million?
Yeah, what hurts you is that trailer?
Nobody wants to see over-the-top gay sex threesomes.
Nobody wants to see monkeypox being spread.
I mean, you demonized gay people in your game.
I mean, your own movie.
You, well, demonized you just.
I'm just seriously.
Y'all made gay people like sexual defense.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Straight people don't want to go see straight people be sexual defense.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
It's like, I mean, it's a turnoff for a lot of straight people to see butt ramming and butt licking and, you know, when it's two guys, you know, people, it's going to push that away.
Because I'm, you know, majority of the population is straight.
Yeah.
You could have made this a gay comedy, but just made it a comedy with gay people in it.
Yeah.
You could still be sitting around, but still you ain't got a.
And you could have, you know, made gay people look better.
Like you could have had, you know, some gay guys, like one's a lawyer, one's a doctor, and they're in a relationship and going out.
I mean, you could have made gay people.
I mean, y'all made gay people.
Gay people like Satan.
You could have made gay people look normal.
Yeah, you make gay people abnormal in your own movie.
Shit, I should have just made the movie.
That was a damn good show.
For more damn good shows, click the links on the video or the link in the description box.
Don't forget the red pill to morons who made this movie.
You should have hired the Haws twins.
You know what's crazy?
They had Judd Appertale.
Judd Appertale.
That's big time right there.
Judd Appertale was on this movie and it's still bong.
