Honestly, it makes sense that he likes pre-packaged pop. As a guy who is constantly tackling conspiracy theories, it must be nice to see something that wears its cheap, pandering artificiality on its sleeve.
This clip is roughly 14-15 years old and the comments range from then to very recent showing just how much people loved this show and this character and why it is such a shame the heads of DC and up don’t do more with him.
A character that questions the government without being portrayed as completely/comedically batshit insane probably wouldn't be allowed to exist the way things are right now.
@@averysadtire6820He should. Things are batshit insane because we've stopped asking questions. To quote CS Lewis "The worst tyrannies are those sincerely exercised for the good of their victims."
The problem is that the movie going public would see The Question as a knock-off of Rorschach - not realizing (or caring) that it's the other way around.
I think he likes it because it's not pretending to be anything other than what you mentioned. Of course it's trying to take over the world. Why else would the companies be putting so much money into playing it everywhere?
The Question is so damn badass. If this doesn't prove it, his lines when getting tortured will. "The tips of shoelaces are called Aglets. Their true purpose is sinister." Or the fact that while all the superheroes in Destroyer went nuts with all their fancy powers, he was running Parademons over with his car and punching them in the face.
@@smoothiemcguffin2721 It's the last episode of Justice League Unlimited, they keep cutting to scenes of different heroes fighting against the Parademons.
The purpose of aglets is to help you grip the shoelace and keep them from unraveling. If you don't believe me, pick/cut them off and watch your shoelaces unravel.
@@OriginalAkivara the joke you missed is that the question was kind of a nut job. It was arguably his best incarnation though as one iteration was a mouth piece for the writers extremest (or so I’ve heard) political views. When taken over he turned into a quack. In jlu he’s still crazy but his hearts in the right place. He’ll just watch the stuff with him and huntress.
I remember reading about how when Jeff was voicing this the people working on the show were like "let's just make this The Question Show." They really should have. Thanks for sharing this.
Next time someone will enter my car I'll do exactly the same thing Question did. "So what do you think of Heavy christian industrial metal with elements of pop?" "Hate it i guess?" "MMMM" *starts the music*
I'm remembering an American Dad joke were Stan needs to break into a house, so he picks up a plant on the front porch and finds the key under it. He then throws the plant through the window and uses the key to clear out the rest of the glass
The way The Question sings it there’s some 1950s vibe to it boys used to sing to their sweethearts. It doesn’t seem something that “Corporate Prepackaged Pop Music” that plays on the radio at all (parody of a Britney song, perhaps?).
@@xavierballard9902 4 years too late, but I may as well respond. Yes, that substance changes his appearance, but the fact that it fogs all over the cab gives him a scary appearance especially since the guy he was interrogating saw his face turn into a blank. As for the music, said guy mentioned he hates it. So it's torture to him. Song's catchy don't get me wrong, but listening it to hours on end makes the Iraq Barney torture look like child's play. Not kidding, Iraq POWs were tortured for 24 hours straight by being put in a dark room and having Barney's "I love you." song playing for those hours.
@@Shanethefilmmakerman I loved Barney as a kid, but even thinking of having to listen to that for 24 hours makes me want to tell all the secrets I know, even the non important ones
How can anyone hate it? The song's pretty catchy and timeless, which makes it one for the ages. Love how, if you look closely at 0:11, there's a taxi driver profile showcasing a different man than the Question's disguise. Unobservant fool, the poor CADMUS aide on the backseat.
WAIT A DANG MINUTE 😱 Pretty sure that is Question’s real face… I thought we only ever got to see it after he was tortured and rescued in that one episode. IDK which ep came first, but it’s cool seeing his not-beaten face and him “on the case” here x)))
Most epic way of getting into costume! No phone booth, no spinning around like a tornado and no waiting for the batmobile, just throw down a smoke bomb and BAM! "WHERE ARE THE OTHER DRUGS GOING!?!"
I love how you can clearly notice the picture of some other driver behind the driver's seat, implying Q stole the cab just for this bit. Also, not only it was the picture in plain view, Q stopped and did a mundane task with a flimsy excuse, giving time to the reporter to notice it, and he still didn't.
Cut the man some slack. He’s not the best reporter if he’s in Cadmus’s back pocket. Hell several weeks he was sleeping with government super soldier and her didn’t even know. He might be a reporter but nobody said he was a good reporter
He wasn't even gonna ask that guy anythin', just his evening habit. Riding around in a taxi and beating the shit out of people who diss his favorite songs.
*FUN FACT:* The writers of Justice League Unlimited were [IIIIIIIIIIIII-] close to seriously pitching a 'The Question' show as the follow-up series once JLU ran its course. Not sure why they didn't, but apparently a lot of the staff were very much on board with the idea.
I Agree! XD when i first saw the episode i thought it was a fake face over the mask since he managed to change it so fast. then i saw his face after the cadmus thing and i'm like "that's what he really looked like?! Super fine! go Huntress!" XD
The fact you don't see what Question does to the guy really makes you think.....Did he steal his face ....Did he do the forbidden deed? So many questions
Apparently the CW wanted to introduce the Question in one of their shows (probably Arrow) because they had the rights to the character and he ranked high on fan polls but the heads of the DCEU blocked it because they had "plans" for him. Yeah, THAT worked out great, didn't it? James Gunn, you're our only hope!
@@DimmaryYeah. The DCEU actually affected a lot of the CW shows. Amanda Waller and Deadshot were killed off and the Suicide Squad was written out, Deathstroke wasn’t allowed to appear on Arrow after Season 6, Supergirl couldn’t use any of Superman’s rogues gallery or have Superman appear outside of crossover events, and Wonder Woman and other superheroes couldn’t be introduced all because the movies were going to introduce their own versions. There were exceptions, like The Flash series being allowed to use a lot of characters from the comics, Lex Luthor appearing on Supergirl, and Batwoman being allowed to use some of Batman’s villains (or different versions of them), but only in a limited amount and it was likely to stop once the DCEU started using the characters. Warner Bros really screwed over The CW when it came to licensing and hopefully DC learned to not get too complicated with their multiple adaptations and universes.
Someone should take the pieces of this song we hear from the show and make a cover of a full song with it we get a pretty good chunk of it so it could just repeat
The song is performed by an actress named Cree Summer, who has recorded music in the past. But I'm almost positive the song was written for Justice League: Unlimited as a nod to the Static Shock episode Wet and Wild. Cree Summer appears in that episode as a famous pop star named Candide.
Honestly, it makes sense that he likes pre-packaged pop. As a guy who is constantly tackling conspiracy theories, it must be nice to see something that wears its cheap, pandering artificiality on its sleeve.
honestly? good interpretation, im buying into it now
Genius
You're pretty good. I'm going to be taking that as canon now.
I don't know about that considering the fact that he also believes boy bands are somehow connected to world domination conspiracies.
Not really, when something is so bad on porpouse, it just makes you distrust it all that much more.
I like how the passenger complained about not likening the song but wasn't worried about a random gas coming from inside the taxi...
In a world of super humans, anything can happend.
Matthew !
"Dude, if you're gonna gas me, at least do it to something _decent_ "
It clearly wasn't visible
Or the fact that the cab driver just took a break in a dark alley to write some report
need a full version of the question singing corporate pre-packaged pop
As well as a full version of the actual song. It's catchy.
@@Shanethefilmmaker wait
You mean the song isn't a real song?
@@markpark6343 Nope. Just a few lines sung by Cree Summer and a few extra lines later sung by Jeffery Combs.
@@Shanethefilmmaker ;-;
That's sad
There should be a petition for this

Seriously, I'd love to watch a movie dedicated just to him. I think he would fit well in James Gunns universe as well.

I bought both Omnibi from the dennis/Cowan run so I can indulge in more Question antics 😆

> Sings along them anyways
Question: I need a catchy tune once in a while.
i think huntress made him resonate with the lyrics.
I think he likes it because it's not pretending to be anything other than what you mentioned. Of course it's trying to take over the world. Why else would the companies be putting so much money into playing it everywhere?
Hey I know soda is bad for me but that ain't gonna stop me from chugging that Redbull

Mmm. His way of saying "I beg to differ." .

Don't forget the face removal gas
Cree Summer really is a world-class talent! Even when she's singing corporate pre-packaged pop!
Oh they had Cree sing that lol
I thought that singing sounded familiar😀!
Good ear! I had no idea!
that was Cree Summer? i just heard princess Kida of Atlantis sing a corporate pre-packaged pop song?
What about Jeffery Combs he sang an excellent cover acapella.
Batman: uses some gadget to hack the lock or disables the alarm and enters through a window above
Question: throws a plant
Question is Batman on a budget and with far less plot armor.
I'm remembering an American Dad joke were Stan needs to break into a house, so he picks up a plant on the front porch and finds the key under it. He then throws the plant through the window and uses the key to clear out the rest of the glass
Uh, oh! Fell in love again
What am I gonna tell my friends?
It just happened
You walked in my door
Now I don't wanna be alone no more
John Ivan Oplimo Oops. I done it
Told you how I feel.
Just hope this time
That our love is real.
I love his high school cheerleader laugh at 0:17.
"corporate prepackaged pop music" sounds ALMOST like one of the question's conspiracy theories. And yet he LOVES it.
could also just be a "I like it ironically, a so bad it's kinda funny way"
I think just puts everything into autistically specific categories like that.
The thought of jeffery combs singing a pop song is hilarious.
The moment that the plant went through the door with this loud-ass crash I just lost my shit.
TheChildofAuraReborn same

Jack It's an obvious parody of "Oops, I did it again" by Spears. Well, obvious if you know the song.
That's crazyyyyg
I’m living for the way he says “mmhmm”.
Love how after Q throws the plant through the door he sings 'Ooops I done it!' xD
THAT is fucking style.

Also, because of this scene, in my headcanon Vic Sage is a Britney Spears fan.
and people say Batman is good at interrogation
TheSoulMan8
Batman uses actual torture. Question tortures you with gas and horrible pop music. Both are equally effective.
Shanethefilmmaker that gas is arasol the substance that changes his appearance and keeps his mask on and by the way I like pop music

one of my favorite scenes from JLU

0:19 for everyones benefit since the song doesn't exist outside of this
If they put the Question in the DCU they should adapt this scene shot for shot, and give a full version of the song.
I hope so
The song is a bop. I wish someone could do a full cover of it.
“I don’t want to be alone no more”
*PROCEEDS TO BREAK A WINDOW WITH A PLANT POT*
I love that this episode is immediatley after the one batman sings at a show.
That song is kinda great though. You have admit that.
better than a lot of modern songs

I am now imagining Herbert West humming this as he grabs a shovel to finish off one of his failed experiments.
The qustion instantly became one of my all time favorits it must have been a conspiracy why havent heard of him befor
Dude has a whole damn Spy Disguise Kit (complete with mist effect) and he only used it once in the whole show.
I woke up a few days ago and these scenes were stuck in my head. I haven't seen this episode in a little over a year lol. I wish this was a full song
I feel like the Justice League should have a word for the moment when everyone realizes why someone's in the Justice League
I don't think him singing it was in the script. I think Combs sang it for fun and they tried recording as much as they could without laughing.
If he ever shows up in live-action, I want him to beat down bad guys to bubblegum pop
The Question needs his own TV show, who agrees?
as long as it's not CW, they used to do good, now it's just sad, did you see their grundy?

The Question is so awesome and hilarious of a character, I can forgive him for liking bubblegum pop.
That is one indestructible pot.
Didn't even noticed that till now!
The question didn't even do anything, that screaming is just what happens when you listen to more than 10 seconds of pre-packaged pop.

He wasn't even gonna ask that guy anythin', just his evening habit.
Riding around in a taxi and beating the shit out of people who diss his favorite songs.
they should really consider a animated series or atleast a animated movie of this guy XD
Can we talk about how smooth his clothes and face changed when the gas spread 😂
The Question has a surprisingly handsome face
I don't know if others noticed... but the line right after the plant was thrown is "Oops, I have done it". Classic
