The fact that even Maria questions the use of the term 'Mr. Collins' instead of Ricky just proves how 'close' all these people must have been during their childhood
The fact that Ricky actually gives Maria good advice ("the best way to learn about web video is to watch web video") is proof that he's maybe not as incompetent as Lizzie thinks.
When he can not communicate his competance, in his typ of work, he kind of has non . . . Also he clearly did not know how uploading a video works . . . But yeah, he is no way as useless as Lizzie makes him out to be, just way less than he thinks . . . He talks more about trades and competance than showi g any, no wonder she thinks he is a fraud . . . . Charlotte training him realy realy improves him with time.
Maria, you've got to convince Charlotte to watch Lizzie's videos again, AND convince Lizzie to actually LEAVE A FREAKING MESSAGE. okay, no you don't, that's totally not your job, you're just a nice young freshie. they are adults. they need to start using their words.
Okay seriously are they actually sisters? Because every expression and little accented bounce and turn of the head and mouth shaping when making a face I mean they're TERRIFYINGLY accurate.
Forgot to add that I love their expanding on Maria as she was a rather minor character in Pride and Prejudice and I have always been interested in her and other minor characters!
Hi Maria! You asked for web video suggestions and since we have a lot in common, you might like some of these too. My favorite webseries is The Vault, it's really cool and addictive. Elmify is my favorite youtuber, she's really funny.
Maria, you talk about the Lizzie Bennet diaries if you want to. Also, I think you should get in touch with Lydia, she also knows what it's like branch off her older sister's video-blogs and start her own (even if it was short lived). Plus, I think you two would be awesome together :)
I love your ending theme! :D And that was exactly what I was thinking when I watched Lizzies video... It's good to see Charlotte again, I thought we would have lost her after she had that argument with lizzie. And I think these vlogs just add another great side to the story. Can't wait to find out what will happen next :D
Charlotte's younger sister Maria. She goes to Rosings with Lizzy, but as she doesn't really do much for the plot the just wrote her out of it altogether in the 2005 movie. She is in the Beeb's 1995 version though, and she is just adorable.
I love this! I was worried that after Charlotte left, we wouldn't see any of her again! I love the idea of her having a younger sister who's interested in webvideo - brilliant! Hank and Bernie are doing awesome jobs of TLBD :)
I love how we are all nerdfighters, coollikers (I know Charlie doesn't do that, but still), nermie army generals, danosaurs etc. I never knew that many people were into the same things I am!
As I consider the assumption that underlies the question, I see it as based in my own biases. The starting point was that people name their children either from some sort of universal naming pool for that location (which likely amounts to English-sounding names here in America) or based on their own ethnicities. It didn't (and still doesn't really) seem as if Maria has entered the common English naming pool for America yet, whereas Charlotte or Jessica have.
I was watching your video with headphones, and my twelve year old sister came and watched too, even though she couldn't hear a thing. She said, "I don't know what she's talking about, but she's cute!" So you know. :)
I'm at once impressed and a bit disappointed that so many of the commenters don't seem to realize that this is a contemporary take on fictional characters.
I think he said in one of the earlier episodes that he's working with his fathers company... I guess that's the reason for "Collins&Collins" but I'm not entirely sure... Yay a reason to watch everything again :D
Really easy answer to Maria’s question: because that’s what he asked to be called. It’s not about the title being inherently respectful. It’s about it being respectful to call people by their preferred name.
My favorites are Job Hunters (currently on hiatus after 6 episodes) and My Gimpy Life (currently running.) Oh and you have a LOT of time, you can start watching The Guild but it's like a million seasons long and being a gamer helps.
she's just trying to show Maria getting adjusted and entering the vlogging world. It's also intro to vlogging, so I'm guessing she wanted to show the advice she gave Maria and how Maria got started.
it's a breaking the illusion bit, much like previews- it said something like "follow charlotte's story here", unlike with lydia's videos where it was clearly lizzie saying "oh god, lydia got a vlog" this was much more "note from the writers!"
I think that question is at the heart of the responses (amazingly civil for UA-cam, thank G-d). I don't think Maria is common among non-Latino Americans, but I could be mistaken. Apparently it is the 7th most common girl's name in the US, with over 1.2 M American women.
1) I wish youtube made it easier to read other responses to the same comment in a thread, because I'm going to end up repeating myself. 2) Of course they can name their daughter anything. They could call her Adolf or Apple or Narnia. There is no naming commission in the US like there is in Germany. I thought it was unusual, so I asked. It's not an attack. 3) How many non-Latinas do you know named Maria?
I'm Chinese born in a western country. I was given a Chinese name. Some kids like me adopt an English name to be called by, but I don't even have that. Anyone who wants my attention has to call out in Cantonese. :)
Why is Charlotte stuck for an answer as to why Ricky is Mr. Collins? That's easy - how do you teach digital natives what was considered good manners (and still is) for anyone addressing a boss or manager before the digital era?
Although that answer may be more realistic, I don't believe that's the way the writers intended her hesitation to come off. Charlotte and Ricky used to be very close friends, so the idea of one calling the other such a professional title seems bizarre to Maria. In addition, even before Ricky became Charlotte's boss he was insisting Lizzie and Charlotte call him 'Mr. Collins'. It really seems more likely that Charlotte is trying to appeal to Ricky's pompous nature in order to stay in his good favors rather than using her good manners. (I must note that it would be strange for a company focused on the future of digital media to operate on manners from before the digital era, though given Ricky's nature he probably would not see the incongruity.)
That's a good point, Athena. Also, watching it again, I get a sense of Charlotte feeling frustrated with Maria for not getting any of that. Maybe Charlotte doesn't have time to spell these things out, but doesn't want to hurt Maria for her naivete, and so she ends up patting her on the head with love...
That's a good point too, I never thought very much about the head pat until you pointed it out. The writers of this series are pretty smart - I wouldn't be surprised if they really did intend all these levels of meaning.
To be honest, I've never actually watched one of his videos... Maybe one... I can't recall... But, I will eventually. I just can't recommend it without at least having an opinion. ;n; BUT YOU ADDED IT! YAY! : D
Find what type of vlogger you want to be; you can be traditional vlogger like charlieissocoollike, nerimon, vlogbrothers, weezeywaiter and zefrank1; you could be mind opening like crashcourse, minutephysics, vihart, cgpgrey, extracreditz, moviebob, sxephil or sourcefed. But whatever type of vlogger you become, you have to be confident and enjoy the topics you cover
The fact that even Maria questions the use of the term 'Mr. Collins' instead of Ricky just proves how 'close' all these people must have been during their childhood
Yeah, which is like the opposite to in the original book as they had never met Mr Collins before he was introduced
The fact that Ricky actually gives Maria good advice ("the best way to learn about web video is to watch web video") is proof that he's maybe not as incompetent as Lizzie thinks.
He's just the walking personification of social ineptitude.
When he can not communicate his competance, in his typ of work, he kind of has non . . . Also he clearly did not know how uploading a video works . . . But yeah, he is no way as useless as Lizzie makes him out to be, just way less than he thinks . . . He talks more about trades and competance than showi g any, no wonder she thinks he is a fraud . . . . Charlotte training him realy realy improves him with time.
Everyone suggesting vlogbrothers is making me laugh.
I'm honest, Starkid is the best thing ever.
EVERYONE! WATCH STARKID!
Maria, you've got to convince Charlotte to watch Lizzie's videos again, AND convince Lizzie to actually LEAVE A FREAKING MESSAGE.
okay, no you don't, that's totally not your job, you're just a nice young freshie. they are adults. they need to start using their words.
Charlotte's dress is SUPER cute, where do I get it??
I love how Maria's such a fangirl.
How did I miss these videos the first time around?
This is so meta it makes my head explode a little.
Okay seriously are they actually sisters? Because every expression and little accented bounce and turn of the head and mouth shaping when making a face I mean they're TERRIFYINGLY accurate.
So this is like, waaaay too late, and I'm re-watching at that, but Nothing Much to Do, Lovely Little Losers, and Green Gables Fables.
Izzle Chick 1. Love NMTD and LLL. 2. What's Green Gables Fables? That sounds awesome!
Suzie it might be the sequel. Im not sure..
But NMTD is perfection. I seriously cant decide between this one and that one
LLL is the sequel to NMTD. Green Gables Fables is about Anne of Green Gables and it's excellent!
You won't be disappointed^^
Seriously, Starkid is totally awesome
Wow. I started to get so annoyed and then realized that this is a PERFECT representation of Maria. Well done again!
Awww, Maria is such a cutie
I love the theme music!!
Forgot to add that I love their expanding on Maria as she was a rather minor character in Pride and Prejudice and I have always been interested in her and other minor characters!
I could totally hear the resemblance in the way the Lus talk. Awesome.
Hi Maria! You asked for web video suggestions and since we have a lot in common, you might like some of these too. My favorite webseries is The Vault, it's really cool and addictive. Elmify is my favorite youtuber, she's really funny.
Maria, you talk about the Lizzie Bennet diaries if you want to. Also, I think you should get in touch with Lydia, she also knows what it's like branch off her older sister's video-blogs and start her own (even if it was short lived). Plus, I think you two would be awesome together :)

I love Charlotts way to answer questiones diplomaticly ^^
Charlotte's younger sister Maria. She goes to Rosings with Lizzy, but as she doesn't really do much for the plot the just wrote her out of it altogether in the 2005 movie. She is in the Beeb's 1995 version though, and she is just adorable.
just LUUVE your question, Maria kkkkkkkkkkkk
(I was wondering all the time)
I love what you said about Mr. Whickham.
I'm loving the John Green reference, and that needs to happen.
I really love your enthusiasm! It makes your videos so much fun to watch :)
We Maria fans have to advertise her spin-off ! It is awesome and desserves more viewers !
Love this spin off! Hope we get to see Charlotte and Lizzie make up. Thanks Hank Green and co. for all these awesome webshows!
An incredibly valid point, which didn't occur to me at the time!!
THANK YOU HANK!!
Charlotte's dress is just so adorable!!!
This channel is brilliant and Mary appears to be a really nice person.
awe! It's so sad how upset your sister is with their fight!
yes she can talk about Lizzies videos! so meta!
I hope this spin off leasts forever! Charlotte and Maria are made of awesomeness!
I love this! I was worried that after Charlotte left, we wouldn't see any of her again! I love the idea of her having a younger sister who's interested in webvideo - brilliant! Hank and Bernie are doing awesome jobs of TLBD :)
Thank you!!! Kisses
Protagonist of Sound of Music was named Maria, and she was austrian. Its a common enough variation on Mary that can be found in multiple cultures.
Maria...More doctor who! :-D so excited about your web vlog. Can't wait to learn about you and Charlotte!
I'd give you a list of the web-videos I watch, but it will devour whatever part of your soul you didn't dedicate to doctor who.
mr. collins said "hello"...and she said: "how cool"?...I just love this...
I love how we are all nerdfighters, coollikers (I know Charlie doesn't do that, but still), nermie army generals, danosaurs etc. I never knew that many people were into the same things I am!
HOW DID I NOT FIND THIS SOONER
You are the best.
How awesome is that???
for some reason, I feel like you would definitely like the Vlogbrothers...just a hunch
Studying, preparing for my next class, watching youtube videos, same thing.
Sooo cute!
The Guild!!!!! It's amazing
The Vault is an AMAZING webseries, you should watch it. The characters are cool, the actors are good, and it's kind of suspenseful
As I consider the assumption that underlies the question, I see it as based in my own biases. The starting point was that people name their children either from some sort of universal naming pool for that location (which likely amounts to English-sounding names here in America) or based on their own ethnicities. It didn't (and still doesn't really) seem as if Maria has entered the common English naming pool for America yet, whereas Charlotte or Jessica have.
As someone who didn't watch these the first time around, I had to remind myself what she was talking about concerning the last web video of Lizzy's.
I just want to hug her :3
I was watching your video with headphones, and my twelve year old sister came and watched too, even though she couldn't hear a thing. She said, "I don't know what she's talking about, but she's cute!" So you know. :)
awesome
I was getting really excited when you started commenting on LBD. :D Also, CHARLOTTE! WE MISS YOU SO MUCH AT THE LBD! OMGOMGOMG!
I'm at once impressed and a bit disappointed that so many of the commenters don't seem to realize that this is a contemporary take on fictional characters.
I think he said in one of the earlier episodes that he's working with his fathers company... I guess that's the reason for "Collins&Collins" but I'm not entirely sure... Yay a reason to watch everything again :D
U ROCK!
Hey, Maria! Great job on your second video! I have a question... If it's Collins & Collins, who's the other Collins?
Mr Collins said hello twice- ''One for each of us at Collins ad Collins" :)
Vlogbrothers and elmify are my other two fav vloggers to watch, imo.
Really easy answer to Maria’s question: because that’s what he asked to be called. It’s not about the title being inherently respectful. It’s about it being respectful to call people by their preferred name.
I love the outro song =)
My favorites are Job Hunters (currently on hiatus after 6 episodes) and My Gimpy Life (currently running.) Oh and you have a LOT of time, you can start watching The Guild but it's like a million seasons long and being a gamer helps.
Oh, and there's also that little movie/musical/real-life-story about a Maria von Trapp. That happened.
I was just thinking the same thing!
this theme music is Such A Bop
Yes, agreed. And I bet the other Mr. Collins is actually Ricky's spouse, "Jamie", who is in "Canada". Everything is explained.
she's just trying to show Maria getting adjusted and entering the vlogging world. It's also intro to vlogging, so I'm guessing she wanted to show the advice she gave Maria and how Maria got started.
You should definitely check out squaresville!
Tell Lizzie to use her words! Tell everyone to use their words!
I love how much of a fangirl Maria is
it's a breaking the illusion bit, much like previews- it said something like "follow charlotte's story here", unlike with lydia's videos where it was clearly lizzie saying "oh god, lydia got a vlog" this was much more "note from the writers!"
Right?! I can't believe anyone would even ask that.
Doesn't know what to say. Pats head. Charlotte is my new favourite person :D
I think that question is at the heart of the responses (amazingly civil for UA-cam, thank G-d). I don't think Maria is common among non-Latino Americans, but I could be mistaken. Apparently it is the 7th most common girl's name in the US, with over 1.2 M American women.
Definitely the vlogbrothers.
I freaking love her
Mr. NeeNaw and Dan Rezler are really great vloggers with a small fan base.
1) I wish youtube made it easier to read other responses to the same comment in a thread, because I'm going to end up repeating myself.
2) Of course they can name their daughter anything. They could call her Adolf or Apple or Narnia. There is no naming commission in the US like there is in Germany. I thought it was unusual, so I asked. It's not an attack.
3) How many non-Latinas do you know named Maria?
Maria is ONE OF US.
I encourage (implore) you to get the answer to that question (Why does Charlotte call Ricky "Mr.Collins"?) for us!
I'm Chinese born in a western country. I was given a Chinese name. Some kids like me adopt an English name to be called by, but I don't even have that. Anyone who wants my attention has to call out in Cantonese. :)
vlogbrothers starting back in 2007 with the brotherhood 2.0 videos. That should keep you busy.
I really like Charlotte's blouse (dress? Jacket?) in this one...now I want to know where to get such a nice garment...
There are these guys called the vlogbrothers. They're pretty cool.
Vlogbrothers!
The fine brothers, watch the reacting series! Good for finding new fun things to watch. :)
Because in the book the name of Charlotte Lewis's sister is Mariah. Hence, Charlotte Lu's sister is Maria. Don and Done.
Why is Charlotte stuck for an answer as to why Ricky is Mr. Collins? That's easy - how do you teach digital natives what was considered good manners (and still is) for anyone addressing a boss or manager before the digital era?
Although that answer may be more realistic, I don't believe that's the way the writers intended her hesitation to come off.

That's a good point too, I never thought very much about the head pat until you pointed it out. The writers of this series are pretty smart - I wouldn't be surprised if they really did intend all these levels of meaning.
Or how about that is what he wants to be called?
@@karencarter18042 Yes, the answer could have been "because it makes him happy"
I did die when I saw his abs
OohCulle!!!! gosh i love Cullen!!!
My favorite web videos are littleradge and buckhollywood and of course the best channel Vlogbrothers! And also another great one, MIKEFALZONE!
To be honest, I've never actually watched one of his videos... Maybe one... I can't recall... But, I will eventually. I just can't recommend it without at least having an opinion. ;n; BUT YOU ADDED IT! YAY! : D
you can always throw a shout out to squaresville, or even jeff & ravi. just a suggestion.
Besides the Vlogbrothers, I highly recommend Elmify. Her vlogging style is perfection.
Find what type of vlogger you want to be; you can be traditional vlogger like charlieissocoollike, nerimon, vlogbrothers, weezeywaiter and zefrank1; you could be mind opening like crashcourse, minutephysics, vihart, cgpgrey, extracreditz, moviebob, sxephil or sourcefed.
But whatever type of vlogger you become, you have to be confident and enjoy the topics you cover
some of my favourites are tomska, nerimon, itswaypastmybedtime, vlogbrothers and avbyte!
Charlotte's sister Maria- that visits with Elizabeth Bennett and Sir Lucas
