Watch my fault. It's a cringe ass step bro romance film.
are we not tired of the "pretty girl "made ugly" by glasses takes them off and gets guys all over her" trope?
I am so done with that trope
I rolled my eyes as soon as I saw her glasses.
Ugh I'm tired of watching it
Not Another Teen Movie made fun of that trope 22 years ago, and they're still doing it!
Generally I am just done with i am ulgy and need nerd and because of this am not good at anything and have no personality troop I want confidence and pls personality and you know what just stop with who is pretty and ugly I don’t alway have to hear if the main character is ulgy or not just don’t mention anything about their looks 😀
“The Summer I I got contacts” had me dying 💀💀💀💀 Edit: I’ve been following this like count In I’m still baffled it got to 10k. ;-;
Beep bop... I'm the Philosophy Bot. Here, have a quote: "I know of only one duty, and that is to love" ~ Albert Camus
@@philosophy_bot4171Thank you for the quote.
Me too lol
Because it’s true
real
It's really weird to me, how teenagers in movies and shows are always worried about finding true love, their soulmate forever, etc. That was the furthest thing from my mind as a teen.
how odd, most teens are really into the dating scene and ‘true love’
me too, more worried about exams and what i was going to do with my life after school lol
That was definitely on my mind. Now as a young adult, I don't really care, I have more serious problems. But I definitely thought about it then
Even before I found out I was aroace, I found it really weird how "finding true love" is regarded as the TOP priority above everything else, and how romantic love is somehow the strongest force in the universe in movies and tv
Literally. Like, do none of them have exams and homework and stuff. "True love" ain't getting you in college or paying your bills.
When Belly was eating in the gas station store, I so badly wanted the cashier to interrupt her main character thoughts with "Are you gonna pay for that?" bc that would've made SENSE and humbled her sm 😂😂
That would have made sense" is something best left behind when viewing these types of shows. In what Universe does the set up of this show happen in? Average everyday girl spends the entirety of each of her summers relaxing at a beach house, with 2 guys with model looks?
@@DustinBarlow8P lmao fair enough
I appreciate the point you’re trying to make but in actuality… it’s a socially acceptable North American culture thing. People start eating in grocery stores all the time and then just pay for it. As long as they pay for their items, the people working don’t bat an eye haha, it’s probably one of the most entertaining things they see during a regularly tedious cashier job
Honestly I wondering why she was just grabbing a random snack from the gas station and not paying for it. Don't tell me this what America has come to😔
Well I must be a lousy American then, cause I've never heard of that 😂 (it does sound quite American tho, now that you mention it lol)
The worst part of this show is that Belly's only personality trait is liking the two brothers.
That’s literally not true bruh… it’s just the main plot nothing to do with her personality learn the difference
@@lololololololollolol6825 So what is the 'main plot' about? The love triangle? There are plenty of shows with a love triangle centered around a well rounded, interesting main character. And Belly not having any goals (other than getting with the boys) works to the show's detriment.
@@lao675 idk she likes volleyball?
@@deborahobakpolo8651 WAIT hold on, she likes boys and she’s a fan of volleyball? Wow silly me, she’s the most complex character I’ve ever met
@@lololololololollolol6825 so yeah… you basically just reinstated that the plot is her character lol. I have notice that in media where the characters purpose is just to advance the plot in a certain way but they don’t take the time to make the character real, the story should be the background of the character not the character be the background of the story.
Out of all nicknames they could have given her they chose Belly think about that for a second
...Lmao! I never considered that 😂😂
I call my baby that and now I regret it lol.
@@WilliamsPincht's not too late 😭, it's cute tho
Aww I think it’s cute 😢
Honestly....ANYTHING would've been better
Why is nobody talking about how immoral this show is? I watched the whole thing cuz I was bored and researched what happens in the books and I’m shocked. Belly just jumps from one brother to the other, dates, kisses and sleeps with both and everybody acts like it’s normal? It’s weird and gross, not to mention they grew up like family, she is ruining the relationship between two brothers, she’s so selfish and out of touch. This love triangle is worse than Twilight, at least there Edward and Jacob weren’t related and Bella didn’t casually sleep with Jacob too.
I don’t understand why they still have feelings for her if it was realistic they would’ve stopped by the second or third time they realized she was a toxic influence
Really? In all honesty why is it gross to everyone when a girl kisses more than one guy in a certain time span but when a guy does it they are “cool” that trope needs to end lol
@@nichalawilson2922 actually no it’s not cool when anybody does it and especially when they’re kissing siblings
@@nichalawilson2922 It just depends on who you’re asking. But Majority know what’s what. It’s not about gender. And I for one would love a girl who cheated on me and then got desperate about it after being called out, I cry a little and I act like I am sad about it but In secret, I enjoy the pain I’m feeling. It keeps things interesting. Edit: the only reason people are calling out Belly because it is more blatant. If not more people would be defending her or at least relating somewhat..
@@lauraabruinexactly it’s just nasty
Calling cam “fairly good looking” is the understatement of the century
Right? I thought he was gorgeous.
Seriously!
Matter of opinion but he is NOT ugly
He's too goofy
Every young guy in this show was unrealistically hot ol
I watched this show with my dad half jokingly and we were just raging at the dumb decisions the characters kept making
I watched it in class near the end of school and oh my gosh all the kids were screeching about how stupid they are 😆
@@Ditto.007its a universal experience among everyone that watched this 😂
😂😂😂
Preach, if I had a nickel for all of their dumb decisions, then I'd be extremely wealthy!
Love that ❤
These "I look pretty after I take my glasses off and everyone falls in love with me" trope is so silly because the only thing that happened to me when I take off my glasses was people asking me when I last slept.
😂😂😂 same
I did NOT come here to be called out 😭😭😭
Same, lol. I thought I would look totally different and have people falling for me, but I only had people asking me why my eyes looked weird.
I'm legitimately curious about why that happens because my lenses are thick as shit and my eyes never look like that but a friend of mine always looks like that without her glasses
Everyone asks me where my glasses are because I keep squinting 💀😭😭
Anne with an e was the best coming of an age drama ever. They should make more series like that, where characters actually have a personality.
The way she is jumping from one boy to another this show should have been named "The Summer I Turned w****"
And where their characters don't revolve around boys

It was honestly kinda weird to me how Jeremiah was the gay, feminine, boy bestfriend rooting for her romance while trying to find his own male romance one episode…then suddenly hit a 360 one episode and became dark, brooding, jealous, and all about her.
Maaaate, this! I’m watching this shit show series 2 in the background right now and I’m thinking the exact same. He was kissing a guy and supposedly bisexual and now all of a sudden this season he’s in love with the main girl who has the personality of a wet card board box. This love triangle seems to take centre stage and it’s fucking tedious.
He wasn't gay
Lmao i said the same
He seems to me more as a best friend to her and its cringey when they flirt or kiss.

what really got me was how nicole left two teenage girls alone late at night in the dark with no clothes, and didn’t even apologize??
I thought the saaaame! She's a criminal, someone could have kill them in the middle of the forest in the middle of the night

@@neltins5308 me too and as @za-fr3hh said, I was waiting for the show to make Nicole apologize at some point of the story, but they didn't 🤔
I think it's so funny that the most emotionally wrecking relationship for me was the moms, like I half expected laurel to come out and be like Suzannah, it's you ive always wanted. Their arc was much more organic to me than the love triangle
YEAH the moms have better chemistry than any other couple on the show
their connection felt so much more real and relatable tbh.. as someone who is queer, I rlly wanted them to end up together. It would have been really interesting to watch a story abt two divorced women who ends up in a relationship and just become the absolute best mothers together and not just for summer vacation :'))
I don't understand why Conrad/Jeremiah ar considered "more attractive" than Cam in the show, he had an actual personality compared to the two😭
Yes please finally
I agree but I also think she has had like life long crushes on the two and also where they are living the rich are considered more attractive and cam and belly had the not as rich thing to connect with
Abs
omg so real =)))
Generally, why are they always choosing the idiotic hot guy over the smart nice guy😭
I’m afraid that every season that comes out is gonna be like Belly switches guys and ends up with conrad like what
The books are slightly different
I figured it might be that. No romance-saga has the guts to split up the couple from the first installment
its wierd how she ended up with Conrad in the show
its basically exactly like that.
I’m the end of the books she gets married to Conrad
FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT! this show is weird and loving 2 brothers is not normal
it could be normal for some people because they’re both attractive to her
Dude everyone’s like omg I love this show… I watched the first season, it’s entertaining and it hooks you for sure but it’s so weird and I sometimes get second hand embarrassment from it 😭
The show also teaches the masses of people watching it that men and women can NEVER be friends, the "Best friend" guy will always be trying to sleep with them, I don't agree exactly but its really crazy what messages the show is giving young viewers
@neltins5308 ikrr , like why can't a girl and a boy be friends in this show ?? Just one platonic relationship between opposite sexes at least
@@sixelakeller5377it may be normal to like them both but to jump back and forth between them is not. It’s honestly stupid, annoying and honestly toxic

Don't crush my dreams Alex, after two decades of wearing glasses I finally got my eyes lasered and now you're telling me that not wearing them anymore doesn't make me instantly pretty? How could you?!
Sorry to say that but yeah - i got mine corrected as well and i'm still ugliest bitch alive. So at least you are for sure prettier than me.
Kinda random but how was LASIK for you? I’m thinking of getting it once I’m maybe a little bit older (personally I hate my glasses coincidentally because of tropes like this lol 🫠) but some of my friends told me that some people they knew ended up having really dry eyes afterward and that the recovery period’s pretty long 😭
@@biancal.7507 recovery wasn't long it took me like a week and i could go back to work. For like a three months i had a little issues with dry eyes and seeing after dark (like i would't risk driving). And after that it got all okay. Only now during summer i'm more sensitive to sun.
Man I wish I could get LASIK but I cannot afford it and no insurance covers it where I come from. "You have bad eyesight? Lol, it's your problem"
@@biancal.7507 I actually couldn't get LASIK due to my cornea being too thin. I got Trans-PRK which is similar, but has a longer healing period (about two months). The first day it hurt quite a bit (burning eyes mostly), but it's been 8 days now since and my eyes barely hurt, they're not dry or anything. It's just that my eyesight hasn't stabilised yet which is why I've been on sick leave this week, it's just that I have problems with reading stuff. E.g. comments here I zoomed in atm at 200% to be able to make the words out. But the eyesight gets worse over the day, in the morning I had no problem, now at 10pm I have trouble reading anything. I'm going to be back at work next Monday. But so far still worth it.
Idk why every show that girls have “glow ups” in they always just take off their glasses. Like I personally find girls with glasses hot 💀💀
Same! I find glasses very sexy! But, what else would we expect from media that considers everybody with a BMI over 2 fat and people who are just a 9.5 on the hotness scale plain or ugly?
I also find boys with glasses very attractive. I really don't think glasses take anything away from the looks department, but it's still such an old and overused trope. perhaps it could have been somewhat the case back in the days, when there weren't many options of glasses frames and the lenses were still thick, but clearly that hasn't been the case for a long while.
@@benzaiten933 FR both men and woman look stunning in glasses and it’s honestly so annoying that people keep using the same dumb stereotype that glasses are “unattractive”
My husband wears glasses, he's kinda short (shorter than I am) and he's HOT!!!!!!
As a glasses wearer for many years, few things are as unattractive as glasses...if anything, you´d have to stop to take them off before making out of anything, they fog in the winter, they get dirty in 2 second, you can´t wear them comfortable to watch movies in bed...and they hide makeup. So I have to disagree, glasses don´t make one hot. I hate them with a passion :))))
fun fact: The summer I turned pretty is a book series written by Jenny Han who also wrote To All The Boys Ive Loved Before
Yeah she wrote bs like this. I wonder why people are into this low iq garbage
Didn't she also write XOXO kitty ?

@@deszu ohhh i thought they meant if jenny also like wrote xo kitty as a book lol
Your point about WHY Jeremiah wasn’t there is EXACTLY my whole problem with the show 😭I liked it pretty well but at the end they acted like Jer was a jerk qnd gave Conrad all the credit because he finally quit being a butt for 15 min BUT like his mom was DYING!?? Belly’s ball/dance was important but not more important than the potential death of a parent 💀
*yes!!* and they literally treat it like it's more important. I understand that it's from Belly's perspective, but they could've done it better than dismissing her best friend's mom's death!
Almost every romance book has the same problem: The men have no personality and the girl's personality is being quirky. I have never read any romance book where the guy's personality is actually interesting and would make sense for the girl to be in love with him.
I completely agree.
They're out there, believe me. However, sadly, many romances are overshadowed by tropes rather than character development which sucks because the romance genre is my favorite.
Literally tho
Please read better then the movies. The main character has so much development and she actually has features that aren’t labelled as quirky. Saying that its not like the other movies/books.
seems like you don't read many romance books lol
Can we please retire this stupid trope that you get a *"glow up"* when you remove your glasses. I said the same thing for XO Kitty because the actress looks so pretty in her interviews. Ladies, is it ugly to be able to *see* properly? Or are we just meant to be blind to the red flags 😅
It really should've been retired 20 years ago when Not Another Teen Movie pretty thoroughly pointed out how stupid it's become at this point.
I mean we can use contacts but I agree it's dumb cuz I hate touching my eye and I will never wear contacts so I guess I'm ugly forever
"Ladies, is it ugly to be able to see properly?" reminds me of "fellas, is it gay to see?". Both are equally dumb lol. (Just to clarify, I fully agree with you, let's retire this dumb trope already)
@@nicoledoubleyouright though! Nothing against people who wear contacts, but I cannot poke things into my eye, I've been wearing glasses since the 1st grade 😂 and I look way worse without them on
OMG that’s what was missing, I completely forgot Kitty had glasses until I rewatched To All The Boys 1
The glasses trope is so ridiculous. I’m very fortunate to have a boyfriend that loves when I wear my glasses and is concerned whenever I don’t have them on cause I can’t see but contacts hurt my eyes. I was so insecure about wearing glasses because of that stupid trope but I’ve learned to accept myself with them and this trope should go away it’s legit 2023.
Prepare yourself for disappointment
Two episodes into S2, i knew i had to stop watching this series forvever. 😭 like i couldn't suspend my disbelief to that extent. Belly is the biggest red flag ever.
I want to tell her to make her fucking mind up. Stringing two brothers along and they’ve milked this shit out through all these episodes. I’m on episode five right now and this shit does not get any better.
I don't know why she wanted 2 brothers to fight over heard. It's weird
facts
"Is the rest of your hairline gonna be there?" is pure devastation for a guy hitting on a 16-year-old. Love it! 😄
well technically she was 15 lol
I died laughing when he said that 🤣🤣
I snorted lol😂
I read the book the show is based on as a teenager and it’s… it’s certainly a book.
😂😂
With letters and everything? Well, then we can hardly complain!
i thought the book was good, way better and way different than the show
Ik the book is somehow worse than the show which is impressive solely because the writing is just sooo god awful. Wasted my time and money
I think the show is better mainly because of the acting. Book Conrad was a straight up a$$hole, but TV show Conrad is WAY more likeable.
As someone who got contacts this summer, I can confirm that I did immediately fall in love with 2 different people who both have the personality of a cardboard box.
The clip with Cam and his fascination with ocean life finally made me realize why I desperately couldn’t connect with this show. It's bc the main love interests have no interesting/humane qualities about them whatsoever. They're so surface level that its difficult to actually root for them being with Belly whenever they get those alone time moments with her. Even Jeremiah's character who's supposedly the fun guy/life of the party is just watered down to that sole character trait. He has no aspirations after that (at least in sn 1). It makes the intimate scenes feel extremely stale.
The way you dragggggged every single guy in this show was so healing thank you xx
It’s very deserving sometimes haha
People are calling the different love interests in this show, Peter Kavinsky but in different fonts and I couldn’t help but holler at that accuracy 💀
opening the bag and just devouring Cheetos before going to the register is so bold to me. like- who raised you belly?🤣
I for real thought they were gonna have the main character commit low-level crime in the first episode lmao
Guess it explains the nickname
i thought that’s why the guy was looking at her at first
The real reason she was never popular
I've done this with a soda and drank it cause I was just really thirsty and made sure to buy it before I left the store, unlike some people where they go around just drinking and eating something and you would find it empty somewhere on a shelf.
I love how this show focuses so much on the dilemma of a poor 16 year old who can't choose a boyfriend outta two, like 16 year teen girl is looking for her prince pimpling.
Hypergamy
Ive never understood why the "glasses girl = ugly" trope exists, like girls in glasses usually makes them look better
As a woman with glasses, i can honestly say i love having them.
there's nothing good about having glasses... let's be real. they are annoying.. But if you're hot, they definetly DO NOT have the ability to make you ugly..
SAME OMG
Saaaaame i love my glassets they're so pretty
Same 😂❤
It’s 50/50 for me they can get annoying real fast. they hurt my nose lol
"because she's 16 now and ready to be disappointed by boys for years to come!" -- oof. I felt that 💀😂
I gotta respect you for the work you do. I also am a 30 year old heterosexual male who for the most part enjoys some of these types of shows, but on a lot of them the dialogue and "actics" are just a bit to silly for me to get through them, and that is where you come in. Again thank you for your work.
Love his take too! As a fellow 30something, I’m sometimes shocked I am watching this and not Citizen Kane or something … but its just such a guilty pleasure 😅🤦🏻♀️
I love how Alex is equal opportunity in terms of dragging men and women lmao.
I know in the book she's more towards Conrad but in the show Jeremiah is just so charming! Like I don't get why she wouldn't pick him
Fr! Especially since his always there! And conrad was about to cheat on his girl with her I don't know but thats a red flag for me

I love the part about girls' dreams or maybe just dreams in general. It is so accurate I dream the weirdest shit about flying or about to be murdered or just casual weird shit, but never these kind of deep "meanignful" things about actual people in my life. Heck recently I've dreamt more about people that are dead or that I haven't seen in years then I do about even somewhat realistic things
Right? My brains all over the place, you know when you’re either really sleep deprived or semi-drunk so you just do random things that you know concisely doesn’t make remote sense but your brain does it anyway? That’s basically how my dreams are, there are no logic behind them, my dreams don’t know anything I don’t, and I barley know anything. So when someone’s like “dream could be a sign of something deeper.” I’m also like… no.. 😂😂 cause I know for a fact my dream don’t have any meaning
literally! yesterday I had a nightmare where I was kidnapped and other girls where getting killed by someone I know, and the only way to survive was to understand the clues that were given to us.. And then I was dressed as Barbie as well as everybody else like, wtf am I supposed to do with this? 💀

@@M.A.Y.Ybook is the same topic lol
@vaevictis1697 I'm not saying the book is some masterpiece But it has more depth that the watered down "show" Like how Alex was saying how he never gets to know Jeremiah and Conrad ..... the book goes into their backgrounds, their issues, their problems with Mr. Fisher. Along with other issues and topics. And what the heck was that ball? 🤦🏻♀️ That just dragged it down further They spent so much time on that ball that they completely disregarded the fact that these characters need brains 🤦🏻♀️ Again .... I'm not saying the book was some phenomenal piece of work But they could have made a better show (still pretty dumb but better) if they had done more than just glance at the dang book then throw it out the window
4:37 the fact that they’re so happy to see each other that she jumps in his arms and he twirls her around is so cute and wholesome to me - but only because it feels like they’re siblings. That’s how I imagine people with a sibling-like relationship to act with each other.
Honestly, I can't believe this show. 1. Cam is a champ! this guy is good looking, has an actual passion that he is capable of talking about, he knows what he wants to do in the future... He's awesome! 2. Conrad is just ridiculous. This boy's reaction time is slower than my mom's 10 years old laptop and let me tell you... It was SLOW. 3. The ending. What the heck?! I'm gonna be honest, I was 100% prepared for the reveal that Conrad locked Jeremiah in a closet or something. The fact that he was out there having a breakdown over those news and she picked his brother, because "Oh my, he was here to dance with me!"... Like, girl. If the boy who has been there for you all this time suddenly goes missing during an important moment, doesn't that alarm you? I would think that she would be at least a little bit concerned and go looking for him. She's awful! She let go of one great & one good guy... For a guy who acts like Edward Cullen. Smh.
I'd really like to see the "pretty girl but GLASSES" trope being played to its logical conclusion, where the girl is surrounded by the popular crowd who are all fawning over her. Then she puts her glasses on. The popular crowd gasps, they start looking around. Where'd she go? She was just here! She takes her glasses off. OH THANK GOD she's back! Where'd you go? How'd you just vanish like that??
😂😂😂
Lmao there’s a Superman joke to be made here somewhere 😂

The best part of the show for me was definitely the relationship between the mothers. If you’ve seen the show you know it’s fairly developed, at least more than the teens personalities.
Not really. They’re not acting like mothers at all. Single mothers not looking after their kids, while the kids are running around trying to fuck each other. With one of the Mom’s having cancer, I was shocked to see her drinking and it being encouraged by her buddy, and the kids, none of them give a shit about her cancer. Even the Mom’s are too busy trying to screw. There’s a razor thin line to this becoming a raunchy porn or a let’s “Blame it on Rio” situation.
I read this as "relationship between the monsters". And let me tell you I just accepted that as a plot point

This show is the ultimate teen girl fantasy, and I love it for that. Like she goes to a gorgeous beach house every summer, has two boys constantly wanting to be with her and other boys finally noticing she’s really cute, like what teenage girl hasn’t just fantasized about this

It's all the bad wattpad tropes and cliches written by a 12-year-old
"Were these kids born in Chernobyl" i lost it
Thank you for this! I saw the trailer for season 2, and I was like WTF is this. You summarized it! Thank you!!
Maybe it's because I've never watched the show or read the books, but I don't understand how Belly doesn't react to Cam sharing some really cool ocean facts. I don't know the first thing about the ocean, nor have I have ever been interested, but a jellyfish with Benjamin Button's disease? I'd just be like dude, tell me more!

Her first date. She just wanted to make out
Oh my gosh lm super attracted to guys that are interesting lm so bad ld be in love same time , and his cute and sweet and has no character flaws and likes you, this is a teen girl fantasy show.....
Yeah! And even if she wasn't as interested, it's basic human decency to show some interest in what people around you like.
She only wants to date a cardboard cut-out of a hot guy so he can stand there beside her silently with no thoughts going on whatsoever.
I think it's largely a wish fulfillment show for girls who feel unpretty. A middle schooler I've worked with became kinda obsessed with the title alone. She is really drawn to this idea of suddenly being percieved as beautiful and wanted. For the record that middle schooler is adorable, but those are years where people feel very awkward, regardless of how they look.
yeah, i wouldve eaten this up as a middle schooler/freshman. We’re just not the target demographic anymore and thats fine🥰
Yeah, I feel sad for all the invisible girls or loner introverted girls who never experience a glow up and think they need to be conventionally beautiful to be truly loved by any men.
i have been WAITING for you to review this
when was it ever hot to be in love with two BROTHERS??
13:33 am I the only one who thought he drew her glasses on the pancakes at first ?
No you're not😂
Help, I laughed too loud at this. 😭
he def did and then said it was infinity to not get grounded or something
I gotta admit, the setup and timing on that "I liked you better with glasses" line was like a volley ball spike to the face.
I know this is 7 months late, but u saying u think glasses on Girls are pretty or whatever gave me a huge confidence boost, Ty ❤
This was the funniest one I’ve watched in a minute. I love your edits and humor
the reason i loved the show, was because it created this feeling of nostalgia. like summers you've never really had yourself, like going to these fancy houses for the summer. but the FEELING of summer and the adventures of a teenage girl, is something i remember very well. though i relate most to the moms for some reason 😄 the summer is a character in it self. the house is a character. i think the story of two brothers and their friend having a threesome drama, is really odd. i think it's so cliché how girls always fall for the silent bruiting type in these stories. who wouldn't pick Jeremiah if they even had half a brain? the story of the women being there for each other and knowing it will be the last summer for one of them, is truly what made this show for me. it's so sad. the kids are kids and the grownups are just dealing with the heaviest of topics. i really hope they don't fluff over her death next season. you don't just get over your parent dying. and yet, it looks like s2 will still just focus on the love triangle..... sigh
Jeremiah is an immature f boy who is willing to screw over his own brother for a girl. There are girls out there who don't appreciate stuff like that. But maybe it's just my quarter of a brain talking.
Exactly! If the show director and producers are smart, they’ll have Belly choose Jeremiah over Conrad.
@@kit4796 not gonna happen.
@@susivarga7303right? Why would they deviate from the books endgame?
@@kit4796 ikkrrr , jeremiah is honestly the better pick , he's hot , he's confident , he' always there for her, he's fun , what do you need more belly ?!?!!?? I understand people have different taste but this trope is soooooo overused
so happy he made this because i binged this show this week and i love it but he’s hilarious💀💀
Him and Ryan from pitch meeting are more fun to watch than the actual shows they talk about 😂
@@Ditto.007 binging their videos is super easy barely an inconvenience bcz theyre so funny
Fr I love the show but I agree with everything he says like Conrad's one liners are actually awful 😂
@@jqey omg i know💀💀 personally i like jeremiah a lot more
me too!!!
I appreciated the ghost love score part. Thanks ❤😂
The thing about dreams is so on point I just can't stop rewatching and crying from laughter
13:42 that looks nothing like Conrad
One of the only good things about this show was the mothers you cannot deny how well their characters are written and their chemistry is better than the mcs' lol
I personally love all your content. I prefer any and all of the shows. Even the ones that "you missed he train on" as I don't watch them at all but love your content with them. All of Riverdale I never even watched but feel I did because of your videos.
This might have been my favourite episode ever. I was laughing so bad the ENTIRE time
I think it would be great if the second season is about how she realizes that she created an entire cenario in her head and that she doesn't even like the dudes (maybe just as friends). She was just in love with the theory of a romance, with the idea of being in love. And she just moves on and finds someone that she actually finds interesting, has a personality and see life in a similar way that she does. You know, a depiction of a health relationship.
Don't get your hopes up.
see this would be way to much realistic plot and actual character development so jenny han would never
If only it was common for tv shows to take such rational route. Although I hear the show veered slightly off from the books (ex: I hear Belly is much more likeable in the show vs. the books) I seriously doubt they'd go through this route because of just how the author portrayed the books. They were made around 2009-2011; the peak Twilight, The Vampire Diaries, and Gossip Girl era. Eveyrthing was tropey and romanticized the idea of having a lover rather focusing on internal character development within the main protagonist(s). It's always drama over growth everytime.
You put too much faith in Jenny Han 💀
I read the summary of the books online. It’s not that :(
10:10 "How'd you learn to shag?" "My mum" 💀
You should definitely make a video on red white and royal blue. It comes out on the 11th of August it’s on prime and it really seems like a movie worth making a video on ❤
Also I love your videos
This show makes me so mad,happy,sad,annoyed,embarrassed and it’s funny at the same time it’s literally a mess I’ve felt every emotion watching this but I’m team Jeremiah💪🏾💪🏾
Okay the plutonium joke actually made me laugh out loud. Good job Alex.
I would prefer plutonium over this boring, pink dress.
@@benzaiten933 yeah… how can THAT dress be a secret weapon lmao
I'm always laughing out loud during his videos not a single one I haven't snorted during its runtime
Ik Alex’s thing is tv and movies, but I’d LOVE to see Alex do a video essay on “The Toxic Gossip Train” 🥴🤣
I was just thinking about this!!
honestly who cares anymore, that kind of drama is so 2015
@@dadada8464It's not "drama," she sexualized and groomed her underage fans. 💀
@@starsiadraws and yall end up giving her more engagement, great job
The “kidnapped by their old gym teacher” as a dream is REAAALLL! happens all the time to me 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Love this video. Your perfectly timed upchuck reactions always leave me on the floor. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for sharing. ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
The third book in particular is the most infuriating thing to read when you're a grown adult. Like the first two are quirky and harmless but man the third one is literally about them being adults and it is...yeah
Elaborate, considering whether or not to read it. I don’t mind spoilers
@@BlairAnsorit's about belly and jere planning to get married it's just icky
@@BlairAnsor so it's about belly and jere planning to be married but it's because jere cheats (this is debated by the fans but ultimately it was just a weird thing he did to her. while they were on a one week break he had sex with another girl basically) on her, and then he decides the best solution is to propose to her and she accepts?? the whole book is about her basically wanting all of her family and friends to be 100% on board cause it's her decision. and ultimately, the DAY of the wedding, they break it off over suzanne's letter to conrad that she wrote for his wedding, where she said he would be married to belly basically. which also just, imo, really ruins a lot of her character for me esp since she was my favorite. also at the time I was belly's age so 19-20 and even I thought her actions were weird, immature, and just more like a 15 year old's than someone who is a year into college. even worse for jere though. that was a lot, but I have many thoughts about this book, esp since it's supposed to be the finale. and yes, conrad is endgame.
@@tasfiahaque1370 I probably won't watch the series and read the books after reading your summarization of the book 💀
@@tasfiahaque1370 also it just annoyed me so much that she dated Jere for years, just to end up with Conrad???? like I'm sorry?? It just feels like she always viewed jere as second best because she couldn't have Conrad idk she literally ruined that whole family because she wasn't honest with herself from the beginning and couldn't handle not having either of them but then she still wasn't satisfied when she had one of them, she loved having both of them lol I could rant about belly being the actual villian forever bc it's so dumb that they make jere the villian
"But she's sixteen now and finally ready to be dissapointed by boys for years to go" 😂😂😂 7:22
I love your videos so much, and they make my day! I’ve been hoping you’d do Heathers for a while now, and I’d love to see what you could do with it (if it’s possible to make a video on the movie)!
I honestly kinda liked it, especially the theme of dealing with grief in different ways, living with the pain but still treasuring the memories, being there for the loved ones in the dark moments Idk ...
he’s not judging people (i hope) so don’t feel bad for your opinion
"The summer i got contacts" and "I dunno, is the rest of your hairline gonna be there?" had me dying😂😂
It'd be interesting if in one of these "girl becomes pretty" stories, the girl just gets nicer looking glasses. Most of the time, the problem is just that the girl has those thick boxy frames that don't suit them at all.
Watch ugly Betty
@@caitlingill I did a long time ago, so I guess maybe I forgot that part.
I just have to say, I really liked this video. It was extremely well done. Your animations skills are amazing and unique, and your commentary is refreshingly unbiased. I was so scared tbh, stumbling upon a random guy talking about a rom com. But your commentary was great. Now I know not to watch the show LOL
“Is the rest of your hairline gonna be there” best diss I’ve heard on yt thanks Alex
the accurate depiction of our dreams at 11:43 was so spot on I actually laughed out loud
Finally someone else who doesn’t get why she’s with Conrad at the end of this season. Jeremiah was actually there for her all season (haven’t read the books, but yes I do know how they end).
“Is the rest of your hair line gonna be there?” LOL-
Conrad definitely watches sad Bart Simpson edits
Listen; this is gonna sound so stupid but you saying that 'throw away' line of "it didnt happen for me until 32" really did something for me today. I am 27 and the guy I wanted to marry just broke up with me and it feels like the world is ending - but yeah, you saying that juet really fucking helped, thank you ❤
im sorry, you’ll find the right person, if he was really the one he’ll come back. ❤
I’m sorry, maybe it wasn’t meant to be. That’s just means you’ll find an even better person.
Hope you'll get over mate🙏
My ex broke up with me at 4 am not long after my 26th It took to a month before my 30th to meet the man I have been with for 5 years and plan to spend my whole life with XxX
It will pass trust me...I thought breaking up with my first boyfriend who I loved greatly at 26 was the end of the world..but I healed,met other great guys and am happy now.
I don't know if I can continue watching her always picking Conrad over Jeremiah. I hated it
Fr
EXACTLY
Fr like I'm tired
yessss
So annoying
"the chin" Had me laughing for like 8 minutes, my sister had to come check on me.
