Do the roar. Today, Makayla, we're going to be ranking the top five
0:10
best scenes from the Shrek movies. My number five best Shrek scene is actually
0:16
from the Shrek Forever After, when they are at the children's birthday party
0:20
This is my number five. OK. Yep. I had to put this on the list because that became like the new
0:25
most quotable Shrek line. Yes. Like, there's this little boy with the lollipop
0:29
A kid who they basically dress and make look like, this is the most annoying kid of all time. Could you do that ogre roar of yours for my son
0:35
He's a big, big fan. Do the roar. Do the roar. The whole point of it is like, hey, let's show Shrek going through his midlife crisis
0:42
Yeah. This kid makes Shrek snap. He promised my son a roar
0:46
Do the roar. Ah, roar. I don't like it. Shrek does the roar. Everyone cheers, and he goes, I love you, daddy
0:52
I love you, daddy. Yeah. Like, he sounds just like the character
0:57
And have you ever seen The Waterboy with Tom Taylor? Yes. He sounds like that one groundskeeper who's like
1:02
Well, we gotta do this and we gotta do that. What's your number four
1:06
My number four is from the first Shrek, where Lord Farquaad is basically doing an interrogation on the gingerbread man
1:13
That's also one of the most quoted lines of Shrek. Yes. Because he's like
1:17
Not the gumdrop buttons. Not the buttons. Not my gumdrop buttons. All right then, who's hiding them
1:23
You're getting your first Lord Farquaad moment. And it ends with him being like
1:28
Do you know the Muffin Man? She's married to the Muffin Man. The Muffin Man
1:32
The Muffin Man! She's married to the Muffin Man. She's married to the Muffin Man
1:37
The Muffin Man! God, that is so good. John McLeese is so perfect as the Lord Fogger
1:42
One of the best characters of all time. My number four is from Shrek 2 I remember seeing this in theaters It is the scene where Puss does his cute cat face for the first time and they play the music
1:57
Standing in his wee little boots. How many cats can wear boots
2:01
The first time you see that, I remember in theaters just dying laughing, because we know
2:04
this is a dream and there is. Fear me if you dare. Oh, it's so good
2:09
What's your number three? My number three is from Shrek 2, which can we agree is the best Shrek
2:14
Shrek 2 is the best sequel of all time. So anyways, in Shrek 2, they're doing this scene where basically Puss, Boots and Donkey are all in a dungeon
2:22
And all of the other characters, you know, the three blind mice, Pinocchio, Gingerbread Man
2:27
I believe the three little pigs are also there. Yeah, the German three little pigs are
2:31
Fire in the hole! They have to bust them out of this dungeon and they basically propel Pinocchio down to get his nose to be big
2:37
So the gingerbread man can walk across his nose and uncuff everyone. So they're like, you gotta tell a lie, say something crazy
2:43
like I'm wearing ladies underwear and he goes I'm wearing ladies underwear this nose doesn't grow and
2:48
then I'm being like I'm not wearing ladies underwear and like it just starts to grow what
2:53
time that's one of the most well-crafted jokes yes ever that scene is so great because they have
2:59
the basic like a mission impossible thing going on one of the blind mice just walks into the crate
3:03
and falls which that's the best running gag in the whole show yes every time that the three by
3:08
mice do something it's hilarious. Hey mice pass me a buffalo wing. No no to your left. Your left
3:14
So good. Oh my god. This is your number three. So my number three is from Shrek 1. Another award
3:19
for Harcourt singing. It's the scene when they're showcasing the princesses. So you have like all
3:24
the knights in there and you have basically the mirror from Snow White who turns into a talk show
3:29
It time for you to meet today eligible bachelorettes and here they are Again I saw this I just remember being like I never seen anything like this before Although she lives with seven other men she not easy Maybe the most cool line for me and my friends is
3:46
Pick number three, my lord. Pick number three, my lord. And then number three, she likes..
3:50
Pina coladas and getting caught in the rain. Princess Fiona. It is so funny how they kind of make all the fairy tale characters celebrities in a way
4:00
where it's like everyone knows. It's like, it's Hansel and Gretel coming down the red carpet. Look at them
4:04
Sleeping Beauty. Oh my god, yes! It's so good. What's your number two? My number two is actually the lead up scene to my number three, which is where Shrek, Puss in Boots, and Donkey get arrested
4:14
Oh my god, yes! And they basically do it in the way of it's a cop show, but they call it Nights
4:19
And so it's filmed like a reality show, and you just get this montage. Tell it, Shrek, I'm her husband! Shrek, no
4:26
And then you have Donkey yelling, police brutality! Police brutality! Police brutality
4:30
And then Puss in Boots has catnip on him. Catnip. That's a no mine
4:35
They nail it so hard to. And you're forgetting the best part of that too. What
4:39
It's the nod to the OJ chase where it's a white bronco is going down
4:42
That's how it starts. We got a white bronco heading east into the forest requesting backup
4:46
Because it's donkey when he transforms to a horse. You're a stallion baby
4:51
God, it's so good. So, so good. What's your number two? My number two is, which I think is your number one, is the best montage in Shrek 2
4:59
The I Need a Hero montage. That is my number one. Yes. The I Need a Hero scene is the best scene in animated history
5:06
So it starts with Fairy Godmother, Sexy Shrek, and Gingerbread Man with I Need a Hero going over it
5:10
They're riding on the back of a giant gingerbread man, which they've named Mongo
5:15
The guards of the castle shoot a flaming cannonball at Mongo, which just pisses him off
5:19
and they play basically the Tyrannosaurus Rex sound. Yeah, he's like, RAAAGHH
5:23
He runs starts breaking down the wall They pour hot milk on him which dissolves Mongo so that he lands in the water moat When we rewatched the scene we were like holy Holy You have obviously an absolute hysterics The gingerbread man diving after his basically
5:42
brother. Mongo drowns. You have this super powerful scene of Mongo just saying, be good. Good
5:54
Shades of Saving Private Ryan when Tom Hanks tells Matt Damon to earn this
6:00
Earn this. Like, it's literally an earn this scene. It is so powerful
6:05
And it's in Shrek 2. Then they get in. The guards are chasing him
6:09
Puss in Boots. In the end, there's all these knights chasing him. And he turns around and he goes
6:12
Today, I repay my debt. He turns around and he does his Puss in Boots face
6:16
and all the knights, like, stop. And they're like, Oh. And then he just fights them all off
6:21
That's one of the best scenes ever. Ever. So excited to find out what your number one is. So my number one, it's in Shrek 1, it's when Shrek and Donkey really meet
6:28
Lord Farquaad is basically trying to round up all the fairy tale creatures
6:31
We're assuming basically to kill them, which by the way, very dark. Donkey escapes thanks to Shrek
6:36
Shrek assumes that Donkey's not going to be following, but Donkey does follow Shrek, and Shrek's like, get the hell out of here
6:41
But it's where we get some of the most iconic lines, and really just sets the tone for Shrek
6:46
says like, man, who would want to live in a place like this? Shrek says, that would be my home. And
6:52
then Donkey just turns on the Eddie Murphy charm. Oh, and it is lovely, just beautiful. Shrek walks
6:57
off camera, but he goes, I like that boulder. That is a nice boulder. That scene just rolls right into
7:02
Shrek finally relaxing and be like, okay, Donkey, you can stay with me for the night. And Donkey runs in
7:06
this is gonna be so much fun. We can stay up late. We can swap Manly Stories and in the morning, I'm making waffles. That is the movie. This is like, okay, let's just let Eddie Murphy run with
7:14
There's no one that could have voiced Donkey better. They could have replaced Cameron Diaz
7:18
They could have replaced Mike Myers. They could not have replaced Eddie better
