Okay, so The Emoji Movie is pretty darn bad. But that badness doesn't actually come from the movie itself. I mean, sure, The Emoji Movie is predictable and has cringe-worthy jokes and has a really awful "try hard to be hip for the kids" premise...but that's true of a lot of movies. No, The Emoji Movie is bad because it's one huge commercial. A commercial that is targeting children while blatantly breaking rules established by the FTC and FCC for disclosing branded advertising. So how deep does this rabbit hole go? Get ready for some Angry Judge emoji.

You know, if I ever need to sue someone, I’m calling this guy.
-
Can we just appreciate how this man re watched and sat through the CREDITS to movie he hated for the theory?
-
MatPat could be a lawyer, but here he is on YouTube
-
Personally, I'd like to see the following rule added to the FTC guidelines:
"A message to the viewers with a large and readable font should explain that there was product placement within the movie". Just another thing editors can just place at the start along with the animations of all the studios involved -
Lawyer: The emoji movie should be illegal
Judge: What evidence do you have
Lawyer: If you just look at this MatPat Film Theory... -
Product placement has been around since like the 20s. Fun fact: the creator of Butterfingers paid to put it in Baby Take a Bow and have Shirley Temple actually say the product name. It worked to get Butterfingers to be one of the huge candy bars that we all know and love today.
-
I would like to see matpat make his script for this an actual review for The Emoji Movie. Just the entire script out of context.
-
So technically the movie is Illegal, but because there is a big freaking loophole that it makes it not Illegal. Seems legit.
-
I think literally everyone in the comments section is missing the point
Yes, the movie turned out to be legal in the end
But the reason MatPat went through all of this trouble for a false theory is because he's making a statement
He's pointing out the clearly unfair regulations out in place for independent creators
If people like MatPat, who put time and effort into good content have to follow these rules- then dumb ass corporations like Sony should too -
Seeing jacksfilms after the contreversy feels really good. I hope that he and his family are safe after what happened
-
Also, can we admit that all of his research is so accurate my dad walked in on me and then thought that I was watching a documentary about education 😂😅❤
-
the amount of terrible jokes, scenes, and the horrible plot it self should be enough to make it illegal
-
you: really checks every law and has everything 100% sorted out
also you: "but hey, thats just a theory" -
You know how this movie is bad? My brother has it on repeat in our car. And guess who’ll be driving for about 5 hours in that same car soon?

-
If you take a shot every time they say “emoji” you will die
-
It is illegal. It breaks a law in the Declaration it breaks my Pursuit of happiness.
-
"The emoji movie is so bad, it made us want to yell at strangers on the street... I don't think I can say anything funny about this, because it makes me want to die. "

Hahahah -
Watching this theory back YEARS later, the biggest surprise was finding out that "I like trains" from TomSka, THE asdfmovie TomSka, has made it into the movie.
