Ed Byrne - Back To The Future

Ed Byrne, Irish standup comedian, does a fantastic bit of stand-up talking about the huge flaw in the movie Back To The Future.

He's a fantastic comedian, go watch some of his other videos! Especially clips from the DVD of "Pedantic and Whimsical".

Haha I used to think EXACTLY the same thing: "Why won't Marty's parents recognise him?!" I also used to wonder why they didn't name his older brother Marty, if they'd liked the name so much surely they'd name their first child after him, and Marty would end up being called something like Steve...

It's still my favourite movie though, can't let silly plot holes ruin that :) And Ed Byrne rocks!

That was my problem with that movie too.

Damn. I think I understand Einstein's theories relating to time travel more than all of this

I think we all had that problem with such an awesome film.

Also, if he causes his parents not to meet, he never would have been born, so he never would have been able to go back in time and stop himself from being born, so his parents would meet and get married, and he'd be born to go back and accidently stop his parents from meeting, so he wouldn't be born and he couldn't stop his parents meeting, so he'd have been born.

also back to the future 2. 1 marty jr (his SON) looks identical to marty but george (his DAD) doesnt. 2, old biff whos sad and pathetic gives young biff the almanac to be a millionaire, but then he wont be sad and pathetic and NEED to give himself it because hes already rich and therefore never gets it! and even if he does it will be a differant kind of biff to the first one who gives it making a paradox. and 3. in the new future the almanac doesnt exist as far as i know
