Odd most people say the Golden Age ended on Season 9 with Armin Tamzarian,

Terrible movie. One of the worst I've ever seen in a theatre.

It was perfect

the best part of the show was January Jones, She is one of the most beautiful ladies in hollywood.

1:17 that's another that slightly bothers me; when reviewers pinpoint or automatically blame a specific person for the show going in a different direction without some background insight or speculation.

To be fair, comedy, drama and horror are fairly close. There's plenty edits of comedic scenes with the sound editing switched out and the palettes changed to be horror scenes, and they still work. I mean lots of comedians use their terrible life experiences (or families) and turn those into jokes. It makes sense to have a "miserable" comedy. And I quite enjoyed it, but that might be because us Swiss aren't a very warm or optimistic people, either.

Adults seem to forget this was for children and when I saw this story as a 7 year old in 1987 after school at about 5:30pm in Australia the canmibalistic old ladies terrafied me, as did the cleaning robot which murdered them. None of that was camp it was terrafying. So it did its job. And the Kangs were cool cos they did gave their own culture and idiom though i dont know why they were all women and no men.

You didn’t show the one where the queen is waving out the window and the hand is black…..or the one where you can buy a plot of land but it’s literally 1x1 square foot of land. I was a kid and I loved the Goodies!!

I watched this show when I was about 13 because I liked RTD's doctor who and it hit me hard then, when I didn't really understand the world as fully. I don't think I could watch it now without spiraling into a pit of hopelessness haha It's a fantastic show, but so vivid and intense I have half the scenes forever etched into my mind. Anytime I think too hard about the episode where Danny drowns and Viktor has to tell the family I start tearing up

as a queer person, ive always thought the criticism of friends' poor telling of lgbtq issues and homophobia is unfounded. we view it through a modern lens of tolerance; the writers even portraying how some of the characters intolerance is wrong was incredibly progressive for the time. did they talk about it wrong sometimes? sure. but you have to remember almost no one was talking about it or if they did, talked about gay ppl very negatively. perspective is everything.

It lived too long and tarnished its own legacy

@ 0:45 you say you tend to think that people just agree with things they read on the internet without thinking about them too much. I immediately agreed with this.

Your drawing of the troll face had me rolling on the floor laughing

( 0:22 ) Reminds me of that abrupt ending in Screenwipe! 😂

Actually no idea what it was, and I live under a sufficiently insulating rock that I had only ever heard the name from dating profiles I swiped past. I clicked on this video hoping it would tell me what it was. So thanks, actually, summarised very well.

i remember watching this show on tv as a kid before i really understood what death was. the dad passing away and being absent for the remainder of the show was my first real experience with grief and loss and it stuck with me for a long time. looking back on it now after having lost a parent it hits even harder

Would love to see you cover the show “Camping” I’m sure you’ve seen it! Love this channel!

For me the cruelest and in a way darkest british show will always be stressed eric, its just unmatched in its level of cruelty.

My favourite was always Chandler. R.I.P. Matthew Perry

Great analysis. That makes a lot of sense.

Joan and Jerricha?

I think this was quietly a thing in the 90s. Create a show that was extremely broad on a surface level but had some weight and darkness beneath said surface. The ultimate for this was One Foot in the Grave. Even to this day I meet people that think it was a naff broad sitcom "for old people" and I just think nooooo that's such a bad take, it's arguably the most existential sitcom that's ever been made with some seriously heavy content. Hell even the Brittas Empire has a bit of bite to it when you delve into it on the rewatch.

You are stupid, I work 42 hours in a week. Yet I still watch friends. Don’t say something so nasty.

( 19:58 ) 😂

Friends is garbage.

i had no clue what baby raindeer was, and honestly it's totaly not a show i would ever watch. I like to hear the discussion around it though...

The dream sequence of the kidney episode idea is by far the better idea

It's quite amazing that you don't get anything out of Nine Lives Kat even though it's one of my favourites that I find interesting and moving! It's what's great about inside number 9, something for everyone.

Was waiting for you to cover this one. Better settle up now otherwise it just gets nasty

Never watched this show before, literally been binging it over the last couple of days since watching this video. It is strangely watchable

You mention that you can’t imagine a show like this being made in the USA, but honestly this sounds a lot like the UK white-collar version of Married: With Children; it had a similar vibe, until it became more deliberately absurd in the later seasons

I would like to add some contrast for Lisa's intellect- it's often observed that more community based cultures who have to prioritize education have kids who speak in complete thoughts or with complexity. Maturity does occur with trauma, but when that trauma is tied with access to education, you often see children having streams of consciousness near what is expected of an adult. I don't know the show well enough to say whether Lisa is accurately intellectual for her environment/what she has access to, but children in these spaces nowadays- at least, the ones who love video essays- are probably getting that extra hand holding over literacy that they need. I wonder if we will see some demographics of Gen Alpha possessing far more mature thought processes in the coming years, and what environmental factors caused them to turn to learning via videos like this. Source: I was a documentary-brain as a child, and I can only imagine what video essays could have done for my contextualization of the world, but at least I'm learning now!

I will be using this as a tool to help teach prevention vs. reaction alongside general media literacy. I've been applauding as I watch, thanks for taking us not only back to English Lit, but giving us a more digestible way to understand the material

Shut up silly boy, I laughed my arse off at pegg, grow up divvy, t

LISA MORAL? NO. She spews leftist talking points because she still has a poor perception about the real world, and sometimes uses these talking points to act superior even though most of the things she advocates for are degenerate and destructive. She is written as if she is a Affluent White Liberal Female, or a AWFL.

I agree about the real life teenage drama, it didn't need to be included, it's not at all why we like or watch the show, I really liked how the show set up all the kids as wise and mature beyond their years, able to overlook petty drama amongst themselves to save their friends, that's what made the show so unlike other media and so wholesome and like a world you would want to exist in. I feel like they trashed that idea for season 3, and while I did really enjoy the Robin and Steve storyline and those shenanigans outside of that I hated how everyone was fighting and disconnected and acting immature back in regular Hawkins, the adults and the teen relationships included. Maybe it's because in my own life I've had enough with people acting immature and petty and watching that play out in a show that I liked for the escapism and idealism as far as relationship just really bummed me out.

Great channel!

Once nick left it was never the same for me

Have you done something on Human Remains? The finest thing that Rob Brydon ever did and a great bit of Julia Davis quasi horror. I’ve never gone back to Nighty Night. It annoyed me so much and, as you say, series 2 wasn’t great.

Honestly i feel Phoebes story has the most potential for a spin off. She was such a weirdly interesting character, a lot of her backstory was told through jokes in the original show but she lost her mother to suicide, never knew her father, ended up homeless at a young age, and somehow managed to claw her life back to living pretty comfortably in New York with a wonderful group of lifelong friends. And after all that, she has an upbeat, optimistic, fearless and self assured personality. I would watch a realistic show about Phoebe before Friends, shes a super inspirational character.

We brits love normality juxtaposed with horror. Oh no! Mums annoying, mean boss is staying the night, how awkward and comically unpleasant! Oh no! *H E D I E D*

Radio goodies is objectively Graeme's best performance throughout the whole series, I would rather have an evil pirate dictator (who wants to take the UK out the five-mile limit) tell me the six o'clock news than the salacious crap we've got on radio today. Love the goodies.

3:10 didn’t the doctor grab the copies

I don't watch Netflix. I virtually never have. I clicked on this video because I used to enjoy your Doctor Who material, and wanted to see something more recent from you.

This is an eloquent description of why I also consider Attack of the Clones to be one of the worst films ever made. Everyone spent years talking about how bad The Phantom Menace was, but the point about AOTC is simply that no one mentions it at all. It's as though it never happened.

6:45 I think you're the first youtuber to point this out. I've always thought that the tv series was purposefully making fun of the audience for over thinking the entire series. You can kind of see it in the interviews with the creators stating that all theories are correct. Now the only question I have is, did they purposefully make a straight forward series in order to make fun of lore theoriests or did they not even consider the audience? Chicken or the egg situation.

I strangely think about this show a lot, but never heard anyone talk about it.

The most insane comedy I've ever seen. There was a whole ten minute stretch of S2E4 where, at a certain point, I just had to pause and really take in what I had just witnessed. I wasn’t offended, I was OVERWHELMED, it was like a Hieronymus Bosch painting come to life. I've said this elsewhere, but Jill really is the closest we'll ever get to a live-action Eric Cartman, they're both absolute slime and I love it. Similar dynamics between Jill and Cath/Linder as Cartman has with his mum/Butters.

Makes me think about an experience with watching Bones and NCIS years ago I watched regularly then stopped for a while, a few episodes brought me back for a while, but ultimately those episodes didn’t really impact the story believably. Being entertaining, but breaking my suspension of disbelief made me feel like it’s a waste of time. Some amount of predictability is good and the lack of that can destroy an interesting show like the anime Romeo X Juliet . . . the plot goes off the rails about 10 episodes in or less . . . and a novice fan fiction writer could easily do better, . . . but those first episodes held so much promise and intrigue it almost hurts.

Wait people thought that up the hill bullshit song was good ? That song was literal trash
