I was at the Hirsch book signing in Seattle. Alex stated at the end of Gravity Falls, Disney asked for more... but the only thing Alex had on the back burner was the idea for The Book of Bill. Of course, at the time Disney shot it down. Fast forward to current times, due to Disney+, Gravity Falls is racking up a lot of views to a new generation. There's a resurgence in popularity. Hell, there's been actually Summerweens. So, Disney now in desperation for more Falls gave Hirsch the greenlight to do the mature Book of Bill.
The point of The Great Gatsby's relevance is to tell us to let go of the past. A big thing with Gatsby's character is that he ultimately can not let go of Daisy, and it keeps eating him up, until his inevitable demise. He had to learn to let go of the past, just as we need to learn to let go of Gravity Falls. I genuinely don't think that we're getting a new season, and that's fine. We need to learn to except that this show, at least for what it currently is, might just be stuck in the past, and we need to expect that the past IS the past.
the point of great gatsby was because of the hint towards the very first password. It was for the original login page of the website, and if you read question #7 upside down it shows a message that says "need a password? fine I'll talk." Tilting the book to the right reveals another message, which reads "It's the name of the eyeball doc." a.k.a. TJ Eckleburg from The Great Gatsby when he sees a giant billboard with TJ's giant eyes on them, referenced a couple more times in the book. which revealed that first countdown! 👏
Stanley's code actually has a secret within it, if you keep clicking it and go through all the ebay redirects, it opens a page called "the wheel of shame" where bill shows off some of Stanley's darkest memories and secrets, at the end of it there's "how he beat me", if you keep clicking it shows' Stan's symbol on fire, and a poem about his life, with the ending statement being: "you really think you won the day, you packed your bags and sailed away, you think you left the past behind, but trust me, *im still on your mind*" So uhhh. What's up with that am i right
It would be so cool to get like a Bill centered series for mature audiences, maybe acompanying his journey to find a partner to help with the portal like each 1 or 2 episode exploring one of his attempts leading to him being trapped in the theraprism
If the “How NOT to draw Grunkle Stan” is the canonical reason why Bill returns in a potential season 3, the fanbase will be split on whether or not bringing in “the real world” was the right idea for the franchise.
TJ Eckleburg code came from the 'The One True Intelligence Test' specifically question VII on page 3 of the test. It looks like a square of lines, but if you tilt the book both vertically and horizontally, it reads "Need a password? Fine I'll talk. It's the name of the eyeball doc" and lo and behold, TJ Eckleburg is the optometrist in Great Gatsby
TJ Eckleburg was also an important symbol in that story. As my English teacher put it, his billboard with the eyes represented the watchful eyes of god, judging the citizens of New York and their actions. Sorta makes you think, doesn’t it?
On the straw pages there's riddles hinting at it too. One is something along the lines of "a doctor of a different kind who wants to make his patient blind" Lines up according to someone I know who actually liked the great Gatsby, which I didn't much care for
Fun fact: if you keep entering Stanley into the computer and going back to the website from the eBay listings, you can see the “Wheel of Shame”, showing a bunch of information about Stanley, such as ex-wives, unreported crimes, and a section titled “How he beat me”. Do with that what you will.
Also, if you type in any brain Rat words except for sigma, it will say now releasing poisonous gas. I don’t know if that’s just what happens sometimes if you type something that’s not part of it or if they actually put that in.
if you put "skibidi", or "gyatt" the computer says "Life privelieges revoked, releasing poison gas" edit: this got way more damn attention than needed holy crap thanks for 2.9k likes.
If you type "I'M STILL ON YOUR MIND" you get a video of Stan on a boat! Likely with Ford. And if you type in "Stan" multiple times, each result will give you something different! And you're correct! Bill is in fact still in Stan's mind as confirmed on the website 😭
At the very end of the string of "Stan" codes you get Bill basically freaking out and writing a whole poem about how much "Stan sucks". Through decoding some cyphers a bit earlier he basically tells us that when he closes his eyes, he can still see through the eyes of every person he has ever possessed
@@cawareyoudoin7379 I would assume it's anyone who he has possessed or made deals with. We know it's not killed or eaten cause we see Stan's vision through Bill's POV through the other code (and yes it's Bill's POV cause everything we type gives us either a neutral document or a direct response from Bill, like Dipper's code for example)
I think that T.J. Eckleburg being the password is interesting on a level based on one of the chapters from the book. The silly straws page spread contains a coded rhyme that implies Bill was basically lobotomized out of his ability to see the third dimension as a child by a doctor hired by his parents, who tricked him into drinking a mind-altering solution by using something Bill loved, silly straws. T.J. Eckleburg would represent that doctor. If you type his name into the computer on the website again, it says, "NEVER MENTION THAT NAME AGAIN." Maybe that's why Bill got so uncomfortable and interrupted the Great Gatsby excerpt...
I’m sure it was a slow process and he caught on at some point and went “aye fuck y’all” then went on to show everyone the 3rd dimension at some point, lost control, and then goes his entire dimension destroyed.
If you put Robbie it shows a text conversation between him and thompson, and at the end it states that he summoned back bill and has a picture of them running from him
Keep typing in Stanley! It goes a lot deeper than the brass knuckles! Also, the website isn't the end of this. You don't just start an arg for your show 10 years after the show ends without something else attached to it.
I think it's just Alex expanding the show's lore, nothing more. I mean people now see the whole "I don't want the summer to end" under a different angle knowing now exactly why twins' parents sent them away to Gravity Falls and Billford was apparaently canon? I mean that's a feast for me for sure.
@@jackxannys4482 Sure but I really don't see how that confirms anything like a season 3 or movie. To me it seems like Alex was finally able to make a book that he's been wanting to make since the end of the show, only just getting green lit by Disney now. I have not seen any convincing evidence that there will be more content other than people saying "I feel like there should be" lol
On the website, if you type in "Vallis cineris" (Latin for "valley of ashes"), then you get a video of baby bill with his parents. The parents are just silhouettes of tv static, but one distinctly has a top hat on, which we can assume is his father. There's also a voice asking "why did you do it?" Presumably his parents asking why he destroyed his home.

@@TheInfintyithGoofball Ha that’s impressive. I was working furiously with a friend for like an hour tearing through the pages to find all the answers.
@@malachifreedman3975 There's a wallpaper which is called "XWHYZ" which has a lot of glass Bills close to the borders of the page and the rest is a black screen. Although if you brighten it up 3 of the glass Bills are highlighted and there's a 1 pixel thick rectangle on the right side. That's where we're stuck right now. People have been trying other codes, combining stuff, overlapping some of the wallpapers together and see if we can get some codes or a cypher out of them but so far we got nothing concrete. Also, if you stitch all of the wallpapers together next to each other they make either a portal or (more likely) a fairly visible Bill Cypher presumably looking towards Dipper and Mabel in one of the wallpapers (the last wallpaper can be brightened up to reveal some stuff including a mysterious rectangle which, at least in this case, would fit to be his pupil). The wallpapers basically make a triangle outline and another inner outline which looks like an eye. Although except this being a cool thing, it led to nothing else but it doesn't even use all the info we get from the brightened up image sooo idk. Tldr: there's definitely more to the arg but we're going insane send help
Just went on the site and here are a couple I found. 1. Portal asks us to make one 2. If you type dorito you actively get a jump scare 3. Skibidi is actually a word that works
If you were to ask somebody who is the most important character in gravity falls they would probably say Dipper or Ford but in my opinion it is 100% seuss
Wait a minute. Season -1, Antigravity Falls. Taken literally, could possibly imply not a sequel, but a spiritual successor. Like, a “screw you Disney, I’ll make my own show without you” kinda project. Completely separate, new lore, but with all the nerdy stuff Alex Hirsch loves to inject into his projects. Just food for thought.
I SQUEALED AT THE MATPAT CAMEO (Also giggled on your commentary on said cameo) I'd love to see a GF movie more than a third season. BUT a season 3 would not be a bad thing in my eyes, nor do I think it'd ruin the first two, not if it's handled well. But we shall see where all of this goes. Won't we, Bill? 👀
I wouldn’t mind maybe a mini season or more that goes into a more deep depth into bill’s backstory, like what was his world like? Is it like what we theorized? What about his parents? Is bill really back? That would be really cool to see honestly
To be fair, Alex always wanted a darker show and themes but couldn't really due to Disney's limitations. However, I think a prequel series or even just another group of characters on this wild ride would be really cool.
There's a spot you showed after "So Many Questions" where, in the book, a sketch of Soos is asking "How did I get here?" Sounds like Bill is back in the 2nd dimension and somehow pulled Soos in. Maybe he realized that the Second dimension can lead to the Digital Dimension - AKA: the internet - and is trying to use THAT to make his comeback. Just a thought coming from a Gravity Falls noob.
This was the most fun I had in years. Reading the book and then going through codes on the site. I discovered 75% of it myself and then joined the reddit to get the rest.
I honestly think we won't get a continuation, but more of like a prequal? Something like an epilogue series of Stanford after he got sucked into the portal or maybe even seeing bill's dimension before he destroyed it
Typing in "Vallis cineris" was pretty wierd, what looked to be a baby Bill being held by two staticy triangles asking "why did you do it" 3 times. Hectoring also plays what sounds like a gospel track so there is that too.
If you type "SORRY" you get a picture of McGucket and Stanford at University and you can flip the picture to reveal writing on the back by McGucket. He writes about how he was made fun of for his theory of the universe being a hologram, but Stanford backed him up, claiming he would not rest until he proves it.
I watched Gravity Falls with my kids about a month ago. My 4 year old LOVES Bill. She has rewatched the series about 10 times at this point and she is drawing Bill everywhere in chalk... I'm sure its nothing.
my friend brought the book of bill to school and at the end of the day we walked to the lunch tables and all huddled toghter to read it anytime someone else talked about something other than the book we immediately shushed them and continued reading
Now we have an actual backstory for our buddy Bill. He came from the dimension “euclydia” and had the very rare ability to see into the third dimension aka our world. The other shapes from euclydia didn’t understand what he was talking about when he said directions like “up” or “down”. So he decided to show everyone the third dimension. But he ended up killing everyone in euclydia. He probably blamed himself for everything he did even though he never meant any wrong and eventually ended up as a psychopathic murderer. But deep down he knows that he is a good guy turned back because of the one mistake he made. He misses home and can’t return. He feels guilt about his parents. He is
TJ Eckleburg is found in the book of bill, after you “Get Gatsby’d” several times in the excerpt, the duo traveling to Bill’s (not cypher, a character in TGG) shop is mentioned doing so under a bill board for Eckleburg, namely under his “watchful eye”
god i love this. flash back to my freshman year of hs where i learned ciphers for the book and taught my friend so we could communicate on school email lol
All I have to say about this is: Disney did not pay the $$$ it would take to set all this up without a return on investment somewhere. If the website lead to the book, I'd say "Okay cool this was their ad campaign to get people to buy the book." BUT What we got was the other way around: You can only find the site after you've bought the book, ergo: If the book hadnt sold well, but all this was still set up it be a huge waste of cash. There has to be something that Disney as a for-profit corporation is getting out of this; and as stated it isnt book sales. So what ARE they building hype for? What is Disney planning to put out that they allowed spending all this money. Weird Al may be cheap relative to disney's pocket book... but even Grunkle Stan would call Disney out for how they are with money. So no, this is going... somewhere. I wont say to what exactly, but there is something coming of this or Alex Hirsch is somehow a master of getting Disney to open their wallets for no return.
With this demon triangle ahh book, more fans than ever screamed their hearts out with a triumphant *”SEAOSN 3 CONFIRMED!”* but I agree that we don’t need it. Maybe a little extra season that showcases the wacky stuff that happened after they left. Maybe a season dedicated to show what stanfords been doing asides from a book
I think the main thing a 3rd season of Gravity Falls would have to do is find a plausible way for Bill to come back that would drive the plot. Something like it's a few years later, Dipper and Mabel are back at Gravity Falls as adults and Bill is in Grunkle Stan's mind messing with him. They have to find a way to get Bill safely out of his mind before Bill finds a way out and starts another Weirdmaggedon. Maybe make it a higher rated show and go into stuff that's quite a bit darker. Then you could have the Pines venture into the Nightmare realm and have some borderline disturbing stuff.
I think a few of the Easter eggs are leaning into some sort of new content for the series. But, based on some of the codes and imagery, it might not just be for Gravity Falls. I think there are a few creatives that might work together for one final project for a few different shows. I think the series are: Gravity Falls, The Owl House, and Amphibia. Since they are all alluded to in the Book and website. Like the candle saying curse wittebane and the core being in the theraprism.
I remember seeing something on the not website that was basically "if you are in peoples minds, you live forever," and Bill sure is living in peoples minds
1:33 The code says "lost files" if you were wondering, I learned a few codes for myself and have translated many things in Journal 3 and the Book of Bill, such as like half of the silly straw page
I'll admit, I have been curious what Ford's dimensional adventures looked like. It's giving Rick and Morty energy sans the most interesting par where we actually get to see crazy multiversal mind bending adventures. On one hand, it might be one of those things where its' better left a mystery since anything I could imagine might be cooler than what they could write and animate, but if Hirsch came back with a new series and was confident in the product he wants to present us, well I'd be seated.
i love how Alex Hirsch or his team probably hit up every even remotely famous person connected with words lik "weird" "conspiracy" theory" and were like "yo, dude, i have a fucking amazing idea that i need you for"
Whats cool is if you keep pressing the "on" button in the computer while it says stan it will take you to even more amazon stuff like his cane and also a list of things like his deepest thoughts fears and some other stuff and i found this out by accident.
I was looking at the website and if you type bill into the search bar it takes you to a wiki about- triangles.... And also NEVER TYPE BABY BILL INTO THE SEARCH BAR

Although except this being a cool thing, it led to nothing else but it doesn't even use all the info we get from the brightened up image sooo idk.
Tldr: there's definitely more to the arg but we're going insane send help
5:58 the hunt for the stone bill statue on confusion hill was the industrial Revolution of args
I refuse to get my hopes up but if Disney actually lets them make another season I’d be so happy
If they make a live action gravity falls movie I would how bill cipher would look like
If there was a little something that showed them all reuniting the following summer that would be fantastic.

You get the same result for CRYPTO as RIZZ and FORTNITE

@@alexhero64This one is horrifying.
Just went on the site and here are a couple I found.
1. Portal asks us to make one
2. If you type dorito you actively get a jump scare
3. Skibidi is actually a word that works

If you were to ask somebody who is the most important character in gravity falls they would probably say Dipper or Ford but in my opinion it is 100% seuss
Soos is Awesome!🤣
Grunkle stan & Soos supremacy
Nah Bill
i love doctor soos
Saved the site after all! :D😌
The “Why did you do it?” line is driving me insane. I need answers… I NEED THEM!
Wait a minute. Season -1, Antigravity Falls. Taken literally, could possibly imply not a sequel, but a spiritual successor. Like, a “screw you Disney, I’ll make my own show without you” kinda project. Completely separate, new lore, but with all the nerdy stuff Alex Hirsch loves to inject into his projects. Just food for thought.
I SQUEALED AT THE MATPAT CAMEO
(Also giggled on your commentary on said cameo)
I'd love to see a GF movie more than a third season. BUT a season 3 would not be a bad thing in my eyes, nor do I think it'd ruin the first two, not if it's handled well.
But we shall see where all of this goes.
Won't we, Bill? 👀
I was strangely excited to hear someone else know the word, "polydactyly," I know it because my mom's cat has it, and so does his brother.
We have to learn about polydactyly in the UK for science GCSE lol
I wouldn’t mind maybe a mini season or more that goes into a more deep depth into bill’s backstory, like what was his world like? Is it like what we theorized? What about his parents? Is bill really back? That would be really cool to see honestly
Vallis Cineris..... Baby... Euclid... Euclydia... Scalene...
To be fair, Alex always wanted a darker show and themes but couldn't really due to Disney's limitations. However, I think a prequel series or even just another group of characters on this wild ride would be really cool.
There's a spot you showed after "So Many Questions" where, in the book, a sketch of Soos is asking "How did I get here?"
Sounds like Bill is back in the 2nd dimension and somehow pulled Soos in. Maybe he realized that the Second dimension can lead to the Digital Dimension - AKA: the internet - and is trying to use THAT to make his comeback.
Just a thought coming from a Gravity Falls noob.
This was the most fun I had in years. Reading the book and then going through codes on the site.
I discovered 75% of it myself and then joined the reddit to get the rest.
disney uploaded a video of how not to draw and it featured bill and some lore
Edit: how did this comment blow up this never happens btw thank you 😁
Yeah I saw that, I wonder if its hinting at anything...
GUYS HES IN THE REAL WORLD NOW RUN
I honestly think we won't get a continuation, but more of like a prequal? Something like an epilogue series of Stanford after he got sucked into the portal or maybe even seeing bill's dimension before he destroyed it
Nah we need a spinoff where bill’s henchmaniacs try to find a new life
Either that or something involving the Stans’ adventures on the seas
@@Cubeytheawesome i like the mystery of the what happened next because it feels real.
12:38 - Once again MatPat popping up in the most random places after retiring. 😂

How NOT to draw!
Wow tough crowd
i loved the how not to draw
Lol
Between Bill and Mickey Mouse, I’d choose Bill.
Typing in "Vallis cineris" was pretty wierd, what looked to be a baby Bill being held by two staticy triangles asking "why did you do it" 3 times.
Hectoring also plays what sounds like a gospel track so there is that too.
If you type "SORRY" you get a picture of McGucket and Stanford at University and you can flip the picture to reveal writing on the back by McGucket. He writes about how he was made fun of for his theory of the universe being a hologram, but Stanford backed him up, claiming he would not rest until he proves it.
Bill can see us. The book has shown that he knows gravity falls is a show and he was able to see us beyond the screen.
I have a feeling it's supposed to feel like sandpaper, since you know, sandpaper is uncomfortable which is the vibes that this book gives off
It’s also made out of pulverized human grey matter, so yeah.
Note it also had the drawing showing the diagram between our reality and bill’s. I’m just curious if anyone has picked that over yet.
This has to be the most HYPE villain comeback anyone would ever want to witness.
def a million times better than bringing back iron man to play dr doom or whatever they’re trying to do there
A prequel season with Stan and Ford told in flashback as Stan revives his memories would be awesome.
I watched Gravity Falls with my kids about a month ago. My 4 year old LOVES Bill. She has rewatched the series about 10 times at this point and she is drawing Bill everywhere in chalk... I'm sure its nothing.
Putting in Waddles gets you to a pet pig adoption website 🤣
my friend brought the book of bill to school and at the end of the day we walked to the lunch tables and all huddled toghter to read it anytime someone else talked about something other than the book we immediately shushed them and continued reading
I love the fact that you read Alex's tweets as Grunkle stan XD BRILLIANT
can u remind me what "XD" means?
@@TheInfintyithGoofball probably a silly laugh. The XD looks like a "😆" face
15:18 I'm sorry did you say near perfect?
This stuff was PERFECT
I would agree..... Buuuuuuuut......
*ÄHEM* Wendy and Dipper *_COUGH COUGH_*
Now we have an actual backstory for our buddy Bill. He came from the dimension “euclydia” and had the very rare ability to see into the third dimension aka our world. The other shapes from euclydia didn’t understand what he was talking about when he said directions like “up” or “down”. So he decided to show everyone the third dimension. But he ended up killing everyone in euclydia. He probably blamed himself for everything he did even though he never meant any wrong and eventually ended up as a psychopathic murderer. But deep down he knows that he is a good guy turned back because of the one mistake he made. He misses home and can’t return. He feels guilt about his parents. He is
TJ Eckleburg is found in the book of bill, after you “Get Gatsby’d” several times in the excerpt, the duo traveling to Bill’s (not cypher, a character in TGG) shop is mentioned doing so under a bill board for Eckleburg, namely under his “watchful eye”
I found this out because people were posting billford content on tumblr
7:39 good soose impression!
Fr bro
fr bro😮
matpats video feels like an ally turning evil and now we are helpless like a playable charachter turning to a boss for the story
god i love this. flash back to my freshman year of hs where i learned ciphers for the book and taught my friend so we could communicate on school email lol
All I have to say about this is:
Disney did not pay the $$$ it would take to set all this up without a return on investment somewhere. If the website lead to the book, I'd say "Okay cool this was their ad campaign to get people to buy the book."
BUT
What we got was the other way around: You can only find the site after you've bought the book, ergo: If the book hadnt sold well, but all this was still set up it be a huge waste of cash. There has to be something that Disney as a for-profit corporation is getting out of this; and as stated it isnt book sales.
So what ARE they building hype for? What is Disney planning to put out that they allowed spending all this money. Weird Al may be cheap relative to disney's pocket book... but even Grunkle Stan would call Disney out for how they are with money.
So no, this is going... somewhere. I wont say to what exactly, but there is something coming of this or Alex Hirsch is somehow a master of getting Disney to open their wallets for no return.
[OPEN YOUR EYES BEYOND THE DOOR, DON'T FORGET THE KEYBLADE WAR]
Anti-gravity Falls: sounds like the adventures of Stanford while he was exploring it for the first time. Creating the books along with Bill.
11:39 if you click through all the Stanley tabs their might …be more then just brass knuckles 👀👀👀
14:33 feels more like a prequel without the twins than a season three if anything at all
AT 4:45 WHY WAS THERE A FUCKING AUDIO STEM OF TYLER JOSEPH SCREAMING HELLO FROM TREES 💀😭
I WAS JUST ABOUT TO COMMENT THIS TOO LMAOO
ATLEAST IT WASNT ONLY ME WHO GOT THAT
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICED IT
I can't belive people pretended gravity falls was over for over a decade

The only way bill can be destroyed forever is that circle Stanford drew but gruncle Stan messed it up so it’s possible for him to come back…
If you type T. J. Eckleburg in the computer password, it returns "never mention that name again."
That Soos expression was literally amazing. I love that the gravity falls fandom is coming back! Its amazing and im so excited to see what happens
With this demon triangle ahh book, more fans than ever screamed their hearts out with a triumphant *”SEAOSN 3 CONFIRMED!”* but I agree that we don’t need it. Maybe a little extra season that showcases the wacky stuff that happened after they left. Maybe a season dedicated to show what stanfords been doing asides from a book
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the “how to draw” gravity falls episode that released a few hours ago.
WAIT WHERE
he already had to rewrite the script once lol he's not doing it again
I think the main thing a 3rd season of Gravity Falls would have to do is find a plausible way for Bill to come back that would drive the plot. Something like it's a few years later, Dipper and Mabel are back at Gravity Falls as adults and Bill is in Grunkle Stan's mind messing with him. They have to find a way to get Bill safely out of his mind before Bill finds a way out and starts another Weirdmaggedon. Maybe make it a higher rated show and go into stuff that's quite a bit darker. Then you could have the Pines venture into the Nightmare realm and have some borderline disturbing stuff.
I think a few of the Easter eggs are leaning into some sort of new content for the series. But, based on some of the codes and imagery, it might not just be for Gravity Falls. I think there are a few creatives that might work together for one final project for a few different shows. I think the series are: Gravity Falls, The Owl House, and Amphibia. Since they are all alluded to in the Book and website. Like the candle saying curse wittebane and the core being in the theraprism.
Important note: there is a Barnes and noble exclusive version of the book with extra pages/different codes
BRUH
I remember seeing something on the not website that was basically "if you are in peoples minds, you live forever," and Bill sure is living in peoples minds
A GRAVITY FALLS VIDEO? FROM YOU?
YEAA!!
I’ve seen so much of this on this on twitter I need more!
i didn't even know about this, thanks for unlocking childhood memories and a freaking cool website :O
ALSO MATPAT????!??!?!??
type dorito on the website for a dorito jumpscare from bill

I got mine yesterday
2:19 yeah it’s supposed to be that way it was made in a arts and crafts room canonically

@ZortaZert a tale of two stans when Stanley takes to his brother right before their fight.
its cause everybody thinks its mcguckets laptop
Matpat appearing straight up shocked me, especially when he said we are on are own!
1:33 The code says "lost files" if you were wondering, I learned a few codes for myself and have translated many things in Journal 3 and the Book of Bill, such as like half of the silly straw page
Your Gruncle Stan voice is actually really good

FR THO
'-1 antigravity fall' could be a prequel set in the realm Stanley was trapped into before the event of gravity falls
Stanford, no?
I'll admit, I have been curious what Ford's dimensional adventures looked like. It's giving Rick and Morty energy sans the most interesting par where we actually get to see crazy multiversal mind bending adventures. On one hand, it might be one of those things where its' better left a mystery since anything I could imagine might be cooler than what they could write and animate, but if Hirsch came back with a new series and was confident in the product he wants to present us, well I'd be seated.
he traveled with rick from rick and morty so they wouldnt do that or atleast, not those parts of the story I guess
12:16 oh my god, he made a deal with Bill to become a famous musician and Bill owns his soul!
i love how Alex Hirsch or his team probably hit up every even remotely famous person connected with words lik "weird" "conspiracy" theory" and were like "yo, dude, i have a fucking amazing idea that i need you for"
Whats cool is if you keep pressing the "on" button in the computer while it says stan it will take you to even more amazon stuff like his cane and also a list of things like his deepest thoughts fears and some other stuff and i found this out by accident.
I was looking at the website and if you type bill into the search bar it takes you to a wiki about- triangles....
And also NEVER TYPE BABY BILL INTO THE SEARCH BAR
Remember when we all thought when Mat-Pat retired, we were never gonna see him again, now we’re seeing him even more than we ever have? 🤣🤣🤣
OMG the Tyler ‘HELLO’ at 4:33 sent me over the edge, can’t stop laughing 😂 |-/
Hey! Someone else noticed! I was afraid I would be the only tøp nerd to hear that.😆
I was looking in the comments for this
YESSS
Bill was not erased slowly in gruncle stans mind in fact he got punched and he got destroyed wich debunks the fact that he might come back
