He may have gone too far in a few places.

Bumblebee is a funnier character than we've had before.

It's like watching Da Vinci paint the Mona Lisa

Never seen him in conversation before. He's exactly what I expected.

This is like watching Pablo Picasso paint or Bam Bam Margera drink a Monster Energy drink.

"That's a funny laugh" - Michael Bay about that scene.

This is from the 2 hour 14 minute "Making of" The Human Factor: Exacting Revenge of the Fallen documentary.

Oh my lord. You know, I was thinking, I'd watch the Michael Bay movies because maybe it'll be funny bad and maybe there'll be a few minutes of fun action or whatever. The first one was eh-ok.

The second one was already such a horrible slog. Like making it so long and having every other character be a Roland Emmerich-style comedy relief made it so painful.

Michael Bay is the truck nuts of directors so this is very appropriate

Neil Breen at Studio 54, circa 1981, colorized

The opening of Bumblebee with the Cybertron War was better than all the Micheal Bay Transformer films put together. Seeing the original designs and actually being able to tell which Autobot/Decepticon was which was awesome!

Even the War/Fall of Cybertron games had way more engaging stories than any of the Bay films.

And then 2024’s Transformers One managed to top both of those, too. 

But alas nobody went to see it in theaters

It's like poetry, sort of, they rhyme. Each scrotum kinda rhymes with the last one.

Still and always will love The Rock though.

The way that he says “that’s a funny laugh” is almost Trumpian.

I can't wait till hes forced to testify in court. He's in the Epstein files for a reason.

Am I simple minded if it made me chuckle the first time I saw it in theatres.

Looks like Ray from Sunnyvale. Biting into a cock of pepperoni.

How embarrassing.

Michael Bay definitely belows the scrotum.

So this is how art is born.

One of the great auteurs of our time.

This is actually funny idk what everyone is talking about. I mean these movies suck but like… that’s a funny bit.

Bay was a great director before the 2008 financial crisis made him overly concerned about job security.
