 Hey guys, welcome back to Come Again TV, the only place on YouTube where all geek culture collides. I'm Shannon and today on the show We're gonna be taking a look at the history and origins of the Ghostbusters Ray's dance. Ray was born in the Bronx in 1959 according to the real Ghostbusters animated series However, this would put him nine years younger than Peter So for the purpose of this video, I'm gonna use Dan Ackroyd's real birthday of July 1st 1952 as Ray's Ray was raised on Long Island by his doctor father and housewife mother He has a divorced bisexual sister named Jean who's a hardcore Democrat and journalist in San Francisco With a daughter from her failed marriage and a macho brother named Carl Who's an Air Force officer and an alcoholic with two sons and the Boy Scouts and is a hardcore Republican? None of his siblings speak to each other or him one other thing I will incorporate into Ray's history that is actually part of Dan Ackroyd's is that he's on the autism spectrum though Very high functioning Ray and Peter met after enrolling in Professor Tonic's esoteric literature course their freshman year of college It was Peter who would eventually introduce Ray to Egon Eventually Ray and Egon would go on to invent the PKE meter and the rest of the Ghostbusters arsenal of equipment Ray is an expert in paranormal history and metallurgy having attained his PhD in parapsychology and well-learned in various other Disciplines such as engineering before college Ray had entered the seminary, but eventually left to pursue his doctor It's thought that he left the seminary due to becoming agnostic during this time working at the university Ray spent his days Meeting with and interviewing people who've had encounters with the paranormal After he Peter and Egon were fired from the university Peter convinced him to obtain a third mortgage on his family home Which Ray's father had willed to him after meeting Peter because he figured Ray was going to need all the help he could get Ray's parents were in a 727 that went down on its way to Puerto Rico After this Ray ended up punching Egon when the latter kept insisting that Ray's parents may still be alive in the Bermuda Triangle It's because of Ray's childlike nature that Vigo was able to possess him in Ghostbusters 2 After the events of the second film Ray went on to open Ray's occult books after losing everything in the closing of the Ghostbusters He also worked side-by-side with fellow Ghostbuster Winston to perform at parties in IDW comics Winston expresses that Ray is addicted to watching Kung Fu theater and Ron mentions Ray's poor math skills In the extreme Ghostbusters finale it's revealed that Ray got a job at a university after the original team closed down the Ghostbusters But due to an experiment gone wrong He lost his job and eventually began working as a mechanic at a used car dealership in the IDW comics Ray begins a relationship with Ghost Smash or Jenny Moray Jenny was eventually killed in a ghost attack But returned as a class 4 ghost who assisted the Ghostbusters and maintained her relationship with Ray There you have it guys the history and origins of the Ghostbusters Ray stands Make sure you come back next time when we'll be going over the history and origins of the Ghostbusters Egon Spangler Take care Geeks.
