00:00We're talking about knowledge of the future in movies, YouTube channel, Easter Egg Psychic,
00:06quick possible future predictive Easter Egg reference to The Addams Family,
00:11and you can see this in the 1985 science fiction comedy Back to the Future.
00:18This starred Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Leah Thompson, Crispin Glover, Thomas F. Wilson.
00:24Christopher Lloyd, who played Doc Brown in this, was later Uncle Fester in the two Addams Family
00:29movies in the 1990s.
00:32The 1991 adaptation of this supernatural comedy TV series was directed by Barry Sonnenfeld
00:39with Angelica Houston, Raoul Julia, Christina Ricci, Jimmy Workman, and Carol Stoykin.
00:47Now, earlier on in the film, where Marty McFly goes into Lou's Diner,
00:52he's just traveled back in time from the present 1985 to 1955.
00:58You can see this at 36 minutes, 41 seconds.
01:02So here we're introduced to both a younger George McFly played by Crispin Glover,
01:07and we are introduced to a younger version of Biff Tannen.
01:12There's some others in this scene, including a cameo by Billy Zane.
01:17But I thought about this part of the movie, and right off the top of my head,
01:20I could think of two references to The Addams Family.
01:23This deals with a possible wordplay.
01:26We're talking about a homophone-based reference.
01:30There are two words with basically the same pronunciation, but perhaps different meanings.
01:36At around 37 minutes, 5 seconds, Marty looks up the phone number and address of Doc Brown in the phone booth.
01:44Now, interestingly here, Marty's wristwatch is clearly visible.
01:48This happens to be a Casio digital calculator watch, the CA53W, which can do division, multiplication, subtraction, and addition.
02:01When Marty fails to get him on the phone, he goes back to Lou behind the counter
02:06and asks him if he knows where Doc Brown's address is located,
02:13to which the frustrated Lou replies,
02:16You gonna order something, kid?
02:18And then Marty responds,
02:19Sure, give me a tab.
02:21This response is misconstrued.
02:24I think Marty could have been trying to request a tab diet cola,
02:29but this, of course, was not introduced until the year 1963.
02:35So, Lou thinks that he's requesting a running list of customer orders,
02:40which is also called a tab, and this is common in bars and restaurants.
02:45Lou retorts,
02:46I can't give you the tab unless you order something.
02:48Marty then asks for a Pepsi free.
02:51This was not introduced until 1982.
02:54So, again, the confused Lou answers,
02:58If you want a Pepsi, you gotta pay for it.
03:00This dialogue also, I think, the tab, etc.,
03:04could also be based on the concept of addition.
03:08I thought this may be a reference to the Addams Family.
03:10My YouTube channel is Easter Egg Psychic.
03:12There I go back.
03:13I look at movies and television from the past.
03:16I analyze these for possible references to future media.
03:18These may appear in the form of anecdotes, idioms, anagrams.
03:24Hidden in the subtext of the work in question,
03:26I also use an unconventional method
03:28where I look at the likenesses of the actors.
03:33What I found is you can take the likenesses,
03:36match these up to some of the anecdotal items,
03:38and show past, present, and future information about actors
03:42and other personalities
03:44that may resemble the personalities
03:46in the movie or television episode
03:48that you're watching.
