About Us

Welcome to GUY CODE, the official blog of MTV2's "Guy Code" series and your online destination for all things dude, including—but not limited to—irreverent commentary on sports, hip-hop and ladies. Stay awhile and flex your manhood.

It's Halloween and that means every channel is showing just enough horror movies to kill off 10 percent of the elderly. Horror movies are great, and ever since the 70s, they've been getting scarier and scarier. And if it weren't for them, most dudes in the '70s would never have even gotten to first base with girls.  Hollywood producers figured this out quickly and started banging out slasher flicks faster than your girlfriend can say, "I'm gonna cover my eyes for this part...stop it, Bradley, you're sooo sleazy...aaaah it's scary, hold me!"

Our favorite scene in any type of horror movie is the Freakout. That's the scene in which the scary character jumps out, is seen through a window or appears in a reflection when they weren't there a second ago. This is the true test of a director's talent and an actor's vocal chords. It has to happen suddenly, have high-pitched sound effects and has to freak the audience out as much as it freaks the character out. Here are 10 GIFs of our favorite freak outs that you can watch to your heart's content. If you get numb to them, you'll look tough the next time you watch one of them with your lady.

October 26, 1985 is the day that Marty McFly goes back... to the future. In celebration of this fictional anniversary, here are five people who (we're guessing) based their life decisions on the legendary film.

1. Barack Obama

The president was 24 when "Back to the Future" hit theaters, and the story of Goldie Wilson could've had an effect on him. Wilson, a busboy whose boss laughs at the idea of an African-American getting elected in 1955 ("A colored mayor! That'll be the day!") later wins that very office. Needless to say, Obama similarly proved skeptics wrong in 2008.

2. Sammy Sosa

Fame? Fortune? A lot of people have theories as to why Sosa turned to performance-enhancing drugs in an attempt to slug the Cubs into relevancy. Here's a theory: it was to uphold the "BTTF" sequel's bold prediction that the Cubs would eventually win the World Series. Perhaps Sosa was attempting to fulfill his team's destiny… or its "density," as George McFly would say.

Car & Driver magazine had the very bright idea of hiring Epic Meal Time's Harley Morenstein to host some short videos for humorous presentation and much more epic-ness. They succeeded. In the video below, Morenstein takes viewers through five of the biggest movie car chase clichés, drawing on Hollywood's long tradition of chase scenes in action flicks. Done right, they're still entertaining, but it's fun to point out the car chase staples.

 

Great video, but respectfully, we'd like to add a few items:

The downside of a great, effective horror film is that it irreparably changes something for you, probably forever. Before "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre," most people viewed chainsaws as an effective tool to be used with caution. Now if you heard a chainsaw rev up in the middle of the night, you'd turn your bed into a waterbed of urine. Considering this concept, we brainstormed 10 things that have been ruined by effective (some great, some decent) horror films. If you haven't seen one of these, check it out... at your peril.

Revenge is defined as, "Harm done to another person in return for harm which he has done (to oneself or to someone else)." There's no better example of revenge than in the world of cinema where all bets are off when it comes to getting some of that good ol' payback. Here are 10 GIFs from some of the most epic revenge films of all time and the lessons that we learn.

'Oldboy'

Never lock up a man in a hotel room for 15 years, let him out and not give him the reason why. He'll beat your ass in a hallway with a knife sticking out of his back. Now that's dedication.

Meeting your girlfriend's parents is never something you eagerly anticipate. But it could be worse. Take comfort in knowing that actually meeting your girlfriend's parents will not be as bad as these three examples.

"Psycho"

Your girlfriend's mom might end up being the bane of your existence, but she probably won't exist only in your girlfriend's fractured psyche. You show up at your girlfriend's parents' house, and you see the silhouette of an old woman in a window. Your girlfriend tells you that's her mother, but unfortunately she's too sick to come to dinner tonight. Thinking you dodged a bullet by not having to eat dinner with a sick, old lady, you decide to celebrate with a shower. Suddenly your girlfriend ruins everything by stabbing you to death while wearing her mother's dress and a wig. She then puts your body in the trunk of a car and dumps you in a lake. A few days later, your sister and her boyfriend go to the house to look for you. They don't find you, but they do find the mummified remains of your girlfriend's mom in the basement.

Meet Jon Foo. Don't make the Jon "Kung" Foo pun or else he'll roundhouse-kick your teeth into the distant future. You might have seen him as Jin in "Tekken," but playing a video game character in a movie isn't badass. Foo's performance in the new movie, "Bangkok Revenge"--which opens today--should make him the new name in cinematic ass-whooping.

Foo is half-Chinese and half-Irish, which really comes through in the subway scene, where he fights with the skill of a Chinese martial artist then just keeps punching people when they're down with the skill of an Irishman. Also, Foo makes use of every part of a subway car for violence: pole, door, hand rails, etc. Anyone who's ever ridden a subway has had the urge to beat the stinky piss out of someone on the train, so we can all watch Foo rip these dudes apart with both awe and jealousy.

The best part about Foo is that he's come up in the Jackie Chan tradition but has a harder edge than Chan - like when Foo elbows through a dude's rib cage. He's also more realistic than Jet Li, but that might be because Jet Li looks more like a hair model than a ninja.

What is it about a gorgeous woman packing heat that gets us all worked up? It's a high-octane mix of danger and sex and Hollywood has not ignored it. For decades we have seen hot chicks grace the screen with so much firepower that it gives new meaning to the saying, "If looks could kill." Sure, Donnell Rawlings looks great with a shotgun, but we'd rather watch a woman shoot (even if she looked like Donnell Rawlings). There are countless movies featuring these femme fatales, but we managed to whittle it down to five of our favorites.

"Planet Terror"

If you're gonna get your leg hacked off why fuss with one of those realistic looking prosthetic limbs when you can just attach a big-ass machine gun? Rose McGowan takes some pretty big steps toward wiping out those melty-faced bad guys. We wonder if Dr. Scholl's supports bullets...

There's only two safe places to shoot a gun: at a shooting range and if you're a character in a movie. Because you're not going to be a movie character anytime soon, you should probably just go to a range. And in case you needed us to explain it to you, using a gun for anything besides target practice, legit animal hunting and worst-case home defense is against Guy Code.

The point is, you spend a fair amount of your life watching movie characters do badass s*it with guns-- like Chow Yun Fat in "The Killer" above--and you know you can't do what they do. A lot of ranges will let you shoot the same guns they use in movies, so you get to feel like that badass while you destroy a paper target. On tonight's show, the "Guy Code" crew will be talking guns, but for now, we lined up these movie GIFs for you. Watch these loops enough, and you and your buds will be planning a trip to the range this weekend.

You gotta be smart to be a doctor. You also gotta have that "We Are The World," I-wanna-help-people attitude. Y'know, a conscience. So what happens when a doctor finishes med school and flips out like a five-year-old with ADHD? There's nothing creepier than a guy who has the skills and patience to calmly perform horrendous crimes of nature against other humans.

Since the cast of "Guy Code" is talking about doctors on tomorrow night's episode at 11/10c, we've assembled a list of five doctors that make us look at our physicians with a crooked eye. Luckily, they are all fictional. (Well, except for one, but he's dead so you can exhale.)
