Recap / The Real Ghostbusters S 1 E 1 Ghosts R Us

Edit locked.

The Ghostbusters, with Slimer accompanying them, are working at a haunted factory. The ghost makes chocolates burst out of the chimney, which Slimer eats. They enter the factory to find three ghosts making a mess with chocolate. They chase them onto a conveyor belt and trap them. On live TV, the factory owner thanks the Ghostbusters and awards them a year's supply of chocolate.

The Ghostbusters arrive home and give the chocolate to Janine as a gift, but all of the boxes are empty except one, in which Slimer is napping. Ray scolds Slimer for being "naughty", while Peter threatens to blast him. Then, Ray empties the trap into the containment unit, and the Ghostbusters and Slimer go off to bed.

Slimer wakes up after a feather from his pillow makes him sneeze and raids the fridge. Winston wakes up and follows him into the basement, but doesn't see Slimer, however, Slimer then slides down the wall and accidentally pushes the lever for the containment unit. He tries to flip the lever back, but he's not strong enough, and the three ghosts from the factory escape and decide to put the Ghostbusters out of business.

One of them starts scaring a hospital patient, while the other two enter disguised as humans and take him away. The Ghostbusters arrive at the hospital to find the human-disguised ghosts, in a van and claiming to be a service called "Ghosts R Us".

The next day, Janine gets hung up on after telling the woman on the other end of the phone that the organisation is not Ghosts R Us. They have been getting many calls, irritating the Ghostbusters, but then they get summoned to a hotel. However, the "Ghosts R Us" ghosts beat them to it and both teams drive off.

Janine then contacts the Ghostbusters letting them know that three ghosts have escaped, causing them to realise that the "Ghosts R Us" staff are the three ghosts they caught earlier, and that Slimer must have been the one who let them out. They get called to a toy factory, so they head there, followed by the three ghosts, who awaken a sleeping ghost. However, it turns on them and possesses a bunch of toys.

The Ghostbusters arrive to find the evil ghost, who is very powerful, and chase it down the street, with Ray and Egon in a helicopter called Ecto-2. Ray and Egon trap the three troublemaking ghosts and then they all go after the powerful one. Slimer, feeling like he needs to make up for accidentally freeing the other ghosts, charges towards the ghost, while Egon fires up a weapon to attack it with. The ghost slips on some ectoplasm and falls in the ocean, separating itself from the toys, then the machine goes off, blowing up the ghost. Peter begrudgingly thanks Slimer for helping save the day.

This episode provides examples of

  • And Your Reward Is Edible : The chocolate factory owner awards the Ghostbusters a year's supply of chocolates for getting rid of the ghosts in the factory.
  • Anti-Sneeze Finger : When feathers go up Slimer's nose, he tries to stop himself from sneezing by holding his finger to his nose, but it doesn't work.
  • Ate It All : The chocolates were meant to feed four people for a year, but Slimer eats them all at once.
  • Balloon Belly : Slimer (perhaps because he is a ghost) instantly becomes fat after eating many chocolates.
  • Big, Thin, Short Trio : The trio of ghosts in this episode consist of Zonk (Big), Snarg (Thin), and Slug (Short).
  • Conforming OOC Moment : Downplayed when all of the Ghostbusters smile upon receiving the chocolate, including Egon. Egon is usually The Stoic , but then again, he does have a Genius Sweet Tooth .
  • A ghost throws melted chocolate at Ray at the beginning.
  • Later, that same ghost, plus two others, makes chocolate and cream come out of a machine and it gets all over Winston's face.
  • When Slimer hugs Peter, he gets ectoplasm all over his face.
  • Cyclops : The grey ghost in the toy factory has one eye.
  • Slimer gets ectoplasm on Peter's face twice.
  • He then gets ectoplasm on the lampshade.
  • He makes a trail of goop when he slides down the wall, and again when he slides down a railing.
  • Edible Ammunition : The chocolate factory ghosts throw melted chocolate, cream, and a cherry.
  • Evil Laugh : The ghost who threw chocolate at Ray laughs at him evilly.
  • Expy : Slug, Snarg, and Zonk are this to the Looney Tunes version of The Three Bears, as they consist of a short, short-tempered father, a thin, kindly mother, and an overgrown doofus baby.
  • Fat Comic Relief : Zonk is very large, which results in him comically getting stuck or weighing things down. One of the other ghosts also wants him to diet because of his size.
  • Food Coma : Slimer falls asleep after eating the boxes of chocolate.
  • Giant Food : Slimer dreams of giant food bouncing over a fence.
  • Goo Goo Getup : Zonk, one of the ghosts in the chocolate factory wears a big diaper.
  • Grudging "Thank You" : After Slimer helps the Ghostbusters defeat the final ghost, Peter says, "I hate to say this, but thank you".
  • Literal-Minded : When Janine describes her task as a "piece of cake", Slimer looks around for actual cake. Janine : "It was a figure of speech , Slimer, OK?!"
  • Marshmallow Dream : Slimer eats his pillow while dreaming of food.
  • Noodle Incident : When Ray gets covered in chocolate, Peter is reminded of a college party he attended.
  • Not So Stoic : Egon smiles when awarded the chocolate and screams when fighting the toy ghost.
  • Oh, Crap! : Slimer looks nervous and says, "Oh no!" when he realises he accidentally unlocked the containment unit.
  • Perverse Puppet : The powerful ghost possesses three toys and makes them stampede down the streets of New York.
  • Pink Means Feminine : The pink ghost is the only female in the trio.
  • Platonic Kissing : Slimer kisses Peter upon being thanked by him.
  • Pun : When Egon says that the chocolate factory is "clean" (i.e. there are no more ghosts there), Winston, noting that the floor is covered in chocolate, says, "Well, yes and no".
  • Revolting Rescue : Slimer helps in the powerful ghost's defeat by leaving ectoplasm which the ghost slips on.
  • Say My Name : The Ghostbusters angrily shout, "Slimer!" when he eats all the chocolate and naps in one of the boxes.
  • Silly Spook : The ghosts at the beginning make messes with chocolate and one of them wears a diaper.
  • Skewed Priorities : When Slimer accidentally unlocks the containment unit, he's worried, but not about the containment breach — he's instead afraid of what Peter would do.
  • When Janine says, "Hi, guys!", Peter and Winston say, "Hi, Janine!" at the same time.
  • The guys shout Slimer's name in unison when he eats the chocolate.
  • Spoofs "R" Us : The episode title parodies Toys R Us .
  • Tempting Fate : When the Ghostbusters arrive at the toy factory, Peter says, "For a change, we're actually the first ones here", only for the three ghosts to appear. He then says, "Make that the second ones here", only for the fourth ghost to appear.
  • Title Drop : Janine says over the phone, "No, ma'am, this is the real Ghostbusters, not Ghosts R Us".

NOW STREAMING: The Real Ghostbusters episode “Ghosts R Us”

  • September 5, 2023

ghostbusters ghost r us

Following last week’s presentation of The Real Ghostbusters Season 6 episode “Busters In Toyland,” the official Ghostbusters YouTube channel has rounded back to the beginning of the animated series, starting with the classic “Ghost R Us.”

In today’s episode, after a trio of ghosts escape from the Containment Unit, they decide to discredit the Ghostbusters by disguising themselves as “Ghosts R Us,” a rival ghostbusting franchise!

Slimer accidentally releases three ghosts from the containment unit, and they set out to put Ghostbusters out of business by opening their own business, ‘Ghosts R Us.’

FUN FACT: Dan Riba, during the visual commentary, points out he and Kevin Altieri drew Slug, Snarg, and Zonk with the idea they were based on The Three Bears with a little Archie Bunker, a fictional blue-collar New Yorker from the “All in the Family” television series. ( Ghostbusters Wiki ) If you missed last week’s featured episode, “Busters In Toyland,” give it a watch below.

The Real Ghostbusters

Slimer accidentally releases three ghosts from the containment unit and they set out to put Ghostbusters out of business by opening their own business, 'Ghosts R Us'.

With New York being plagued by power outages, the Ghostbusters set about to capture Killerwatt, a ghost who has the ability to possess electrical devices. But things take a turn for the worse when Killerwatt takes control of the city's power grid.

A little old lady named Mrs. Rogers calls the Ghostbusters about her haunted house; once inside, Egon discovers the house is being controlled by a creature named 'Watt'.

Slimer leaves home after Peter yells at him for eating Winston's birthday cake, and the Ghostbusters set out to find him. But more problems arise when Egon discovers a poltergeist feeding off the power of ghosts in the local area; who only needs one more ghost to reach his full power.

Bunch of funky dangerous trolls take over the Queensboro Bridge with only one demand - the Ghostbusters must find and bring back their little cousin who ran away to party. They have 12 hours to get him back, or New York is toast.

The guys are hired by a pair of young siblings to rid them of the Bogeyman, an entity Egon is quite familiar with.

Zonk [2] is the son of Slug and Snarg and one of the three ghosts from " Ghosts R Us ".

History [ ]

Zonk is a childlike entity in a trio of ghosts. They appear to originate from New Jersey, according to the P.K.E. Meter readings taken while they haunted a Conrad's chocolate plant. [3] The Ghostbusters eventually captured them after a lengthy bust, but they escaped from the Containment Unit . Slug desired revenge and set up a fake paranormal eliminations and investigation business to bankrupt the Ghostbusters. Zonk would act as the ghost haunting a location then his parents would arrive and pretend to capture him.

Slug's scheme began to succeed so he decided to escalate things and seek out an old friend named Turlock . They arrived at an abandoned toy factory in Brooklyn, a known dwelling of Turlock. Instead, Slug awoke and angered a Free Roaming Vapor that turned out to be a Full Magnitude Class 10 . It pursued Slug and his family across the Brooklyn Bridge . The Ghostbusters recaptured them and then focused on the Class 10. Zonk was last into the Trap . Zonk and his family were later part of the entities that witnessed the arrival of Egon Spengler into the Containment Unit universe when he was in search of the Ghost of Christmas Future , Ghost of Christmas Past , and Ghost of Christmas Present .

Personality [ ]

Zonk is very dim-witted. The P.K.E. Meter seemingly confirms this when Egon scans Zonk. [4] It should be noted that he often has trouble saying complicated words and phrases, including words and phrases that sound tricky to pronounce, but are actually quite simple to say, such as "numero uno" or "the sooner, the better"

Flight: Zonk can fly, as shown in Xmas Marks the Spot .

Classification [ ]

Like his parents, Zonk is a  Class 5 Full Torso Apparition. [5]

  • On Cover A of Ghostbusters Issue #6 , a Zonk doll is present on the ground.
  • Zonk makes a cameo on a special sketch cover of Ghostbusters #9 .
  • On page nine of Ghostbusters Volume 2 Issue #20 , Zonk makes a non-canon cameo in the last panel on the left in the garbage can.
  • On page 31 of Ghostbusters Annual 2018 , in panel 1, a ghost is based on Zonk.
  • On page 18 of Ghostbusters Crossing Over Issue #4 , in panel 4, on the screen is the display of Zonk on the P.K.E. Meter from "Ghosts R Us".
  • Zonk appears on the IDW Convention Variant cover of 35th Anniversary: The Real Ghostbusters .

Where To Watch Every Ghostbusters Movie and TV Show in Order

ghostbusters ghost r us

Rachel Ulatowski

Official JustWatch writer

The Ghostbusters franchise is expanding again with the release of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire . The film marks the fourth installment in the series after the franchise’s recent revival. For newcomers to the franchise or those seeking a refresher, this guide will explain how and where to stream the Ghostbusters movies and TV shows in order.

The franchise started with the 1984 movie Ghostbusters . Audiences were enthralled by the story of Peter Venkman (Bill Murray), Ray Stantz (Dan Aykroyd), Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis), and Winston Zeddemore (Ernie Hudson), four men who start a ghost-hunting business. Ghostbusters’ solid performances, witty dialogue, clever script, and catchy theme song resulted in the movie becoming a cultural phenomenon and far exceeding box office and critical expectations.

Columbia Pictures was eager for a sequel, but trouble was brewing from the start. The sequel had a notoriously difficult time getting all the original actors to sign on. Meanwhile, production was rushed, and large portions of the movie were scrapped. Hence,  Ghostbusters II was hardly comparable to the original's success, largely diminishing hopes for the third installment.

When original Ghostbusters star Ramis passed away in 2014, hope for a direct sequel was so low that Sony rebooted the franchise with Ghostbusters (2016) . The movie swapped out the lead cast for an all-female lead cast, including Melissa McCarthy , Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones. The film was such a box office flop that the idea of a reboot sequel was quickly shut down.

Finally, Jason Reitman, the son of Ghostbusters’ original director, Ivan Reitman, saved the franchise. He did the impossible and convinced the three surviving original Ghostbusters actors to reprise their roles. He also tapped Finn Wolfhard and McKenna Grace for the next generation of ghost-hunters. The result was the 2021 movie Ghostbusters: Afterlife , a fresh new take on the franchise that proved to be a touching tribute to Ramis. The movie teased that there was more to come from the revived franchise, and it wasn’t long before Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire was greenlit, with all the original and new cast members from Ghostbusters: Afterlife returning.

The best way to watch the Ghostbusters films is by release date order since the films were released chronologically. Additionally, there are three animated spinoff series that aren’t necessary to understand the movies but are fun to watch for the whole franchise experience. Here’s the franchise in order by release date from newest to oldest.

Netflix

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire

The Spengler family returns to where it all started – the iconic New York City firehouse – to team up with the original Ghostbusters, who've developed a top-secret research lab to take busting ghosts to the next level.

The new movie brings together the new characters from Afterlife and the OG Ghostbusters as they team up to save New York City from a deadly chill, as well as some familiar mischievous spirits .

While the timeline isn't as complex as, say, the Halloween , Saw or X-Men series, you might want a refresher of which Ghostbusters movies you need to rewatch before seeing Frozen Empire . So that's where we come in to help with the definitive guide of how to watch the Ghostbusters movies in order.

And to be extra helpful, we've even pointed out where you can watch each movie right now.

How to watch the Ghostbusters movies in release order

line break

As with any long-running movie series, the easiest way to watch the Ghostbusters movies in order is in their release order.

You could extend this list by including the two animated TV series The Real Ghostbusters (1986-1991) and Extreme Ghostbusters (1997).

If you want to do that, watch The Real Ghostbusters – retitled as Slimer! and the Real Ghostbusters from season 4 onwards – after the first movie and then Extreme Ghostbusters after the sequel.

Ghostbusters (1984)

Watch now: Prime Video | iTunes | Microsoft Store

The first – and still the best – Ghostbusters introduced us to Peter Venkman (Bill Murray), Ray Stantz (Dan Aykroyd), Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis) and Winston Zeddemore (Ernie Hudson).

It marked their first, but not their last battle, with Gozer who is trying to bring about the apocalypse. Only the Ghostbusters, together with secretary Janine Melnitz (Annie Potts), can stop it.

Ghostbusters II (1989)

The Ghostbusters might have saved the day in the previous movie, but at the start of Ghostbusters II , they're disbanded due to the sheer amount of destruction caused in New York City.

However, when Venkman's son becomes the target of a powerful spirit, the band get back together to save the day... again.

Ghostbusters (2016)

a group of people playing instruments

27 years after the Ghostbusters last saved New York City, the team are back in Ghostbusters – but not as we saw them before.

The all-female reboot of the series introduced us to a new team – Abby Yates (Melissa McCarthy), Erin Gilbert (Kristen Wiig), Jillian Holtzmann (Kate McKinnon) and Patty Tolan (Leslie Jones) – as they attempt to protect New York City from more than 1,000 spirits.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021)

finn wolfhard, mckenna grace, logan kim, ghostbusters afterlife

Legacy sequel Ghostbusters: Afterlife shifted the focus back to the first two movies by centring on Spengler's daughter Callie (Carrie Coon) and his two grandchildren Trevor (Finn Wolfhard) and Phoebe (Mckenna Grace).

When they inherit Spengler's farm, they discover his secret history and also unfortunately release one of Gozer's sentinels to pave the way for his return.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024)

ernie hudson, bill murray, ghostbusters frozen empire

Watch now: Released in cinemas on March 22

The Spenglers are back and teaming up with the OG Ghostbusters in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire which returns the series to where it started: the New York City firehouse.

When a deadly chill hits the city, the old and new Ghostbusters must learn to work together to save the world from a second Ice Age.

How to watch the Ghostbusters movies in chronological order

line break

Rather than having to jump around the movies, you only need to omit a movie in order to watch the Ghostbusters movies in chronological order.

The 2016 reboot Ghostbusters – also known as Ghostbusters: Answer the Call – has no real connection to the other movies. The original Ghostbusters cast, except for the late Harold Ramis, all have cameo roles, but as different characters.

It means that the 2016 movie exists in its own Ghostbusters timeline which, sadly, looks like it'll just contain the one movie .

This makes the chronological order of the Ghostbusters movies as follows:

• Ghostbusters (1984) • Ghostbusters II (1989) • Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021) • Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024)

As with the release order, you can include the two animated shows if you wanted, but they don't really have any impact on the main movies.

Original Ghostbusters Stars Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson Join Paul Rudd at Frozen Empire Premiere

The latest entry in the comedy franchise hits theaters March 22

The Ghostbusters are back!

Bill Murray , Dan Aykroyd , Ernie Hudson and Annie Potts were on hand to celebrate the New York City premiere of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire on Thursday.

Each of the four actors starred in the original 1984 comedy and its 1989 sequel, along with the late Harold Ramis , who died in 2014 at 69, Sigourney Weaver and Rick Moranis .

Murray, Aykroyd and Hudson posed for a sweet photo with Paul Rudd and some of the other Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire stars, including  Carrie Coon ,  Mckenna Grace , and  Finn Wolfhard . Rudd, Coon, Grace and Wolfhard joined the franchise in 2021's Afterlife , which served as a sequel to the original two '80s movies.

In another fun photo, Aykroyd and Hudson posed with Potts, who wore a black suit and pink purse. Rudd also posed with Murray on the red carpet.

The new films in the series center on characters portrayed by Coon, 43, Grace, 17, and Wolfhard, 21, who are the daughter and grandchildren of Ramis's character Egon Spengler. Rudd, 54, plays a science teacher named Gary who is a fan of the Ghostbusters in the new films.

Aykroyd, Murray, Potts and Hudson each made small appearances in Afterlife and return with larger roles in Frozen Empire , which brings the series and the Ghostbusters back to New York City. Kumail Nanjiani, Patton Oswalt, Celeste O’Connor and Logan Kim also appear in the new movie.

An official synopsis for the upcoming movie reads that the Spengler family unites "with the original Ghostbusters, who’ve developed a top-secret research lab to take busting ghosts to the next level," in Frozen Empire .

"But when the discovery of an ancient artifact unleashes an army of ghosts that casts a death chill upon the city, Ghostbusters new and old must join forces to protect their home and save the world from a second Ice Age," the synopsis reads.

The new movie is directed by Gil Kenan (2006's Monster House ), who cowrote the script with Jason Reitman . Reitman, 46, is the son of the late Ivan Reitman , who directed the original Ghostbusters films. Ivan died at 75 in February 2022.

See Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson, Ray Parker Jr. Play ‘Ghostbusters’ Theme on Classroom Instruments

  • By Daniel Kreps

Daniel Kreps

Bill Murray and Ernie Hudson hit up The Tonight Show Friday ahead of next week’s release of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire , and the OG ghost-busting duo brought along Ray Parker Jr. to perform the original film’s classic theme on classroom instruments alongside Jimmy Fallon and the Roots.

Parker Jr. handled lead vocals and triangle while Murray spent the entire song playing the kazoo, only ditching the instrument when the entire assortment of musicians gleefully sang in unison the infamous “ Ghostbusters ” lyric, “Bustin’ makes me feel good.”

Talk then circled back to Frozen Empire , with the Ghostbusters actors teaching Fallon how to use a Proton Pack:

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire , the sequel to 2021’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife , arrives in theaters March 22. In addition to Murray and Hudson, the new film also sees the returns of Dan Aykroyd’s Ray Stantz, Annie Potts’ Janine Melnitz, and Walter Peck’s villainous politician Walter Peck.
