Soos was initially going to dress as a Teddy Bear -- but good ol' Disney asked Alex to cut it, saying (I sh*t you not) we're concerned this may promote and draw the attention of furries -- yet they were cool with Questiony the Question Mark in all his nearly naked glory.
The franchise known for having an entire cast of antropomorphic animals wearing clothes and a princess that falls in love with what could essentially be considered a furry was worried about this episode.
@@gamerlordthebest The joke is that the monster is depicted like a (mostly) mindless brute in the rest of the episode so you would expect his greatest fear to be something simple and primal like getting attacked by an even bigger and scarier monster, but instead it turns out that he's a lot smarter than he seems and his greatest fear is the very mature and existential fear of being doomed to perpetuate the cycle of abuse that his (presumably terrible) father inflicted upon him.
I'm honestly kind of glad Mabel went off at the end, because while Soos didn't exactly use Mabel's kindness (stuff like that could happen on his best day) Wendy absolutely did. I get that she's a teen and doesn't exactly want to work, but what she did to Mabel deserved the tantrum it got.
And here we have another kids cartoon classic trope; a young character takes over for an adult. It's usually a boring filler episode for most series, but _Gravity Falls_ manages to make it impactful by not just making it about Mabel seeing things from Stan's perspective but also understanding what it takes to run a business successfully. Empowering employees and making sure they're happy at work are great, but it needs to be balanced by holding them responsible for their jobs and making sure their choices aren't going to cost the business and others in the long run. Dipper's ambition to make the Mystery Shack more educational for visitors was well-intentioned, but Mabel allowing him to bring the gremloblin in to show visitors was an extremely bad call for a laundry list of reasons. Stan may be conniving grifter, but he does know how to run a (somewhat) legal business and what his customers want. They come to the Mystery Shack to be entertained by its kitschy attractions, not mentally traumatized by one of the town's many nightmare-inducing horrors.

end credits cryptogram reads "SVZEB RH GSV SVZW GSZG DVZIH GSV UVA." Once decoded, it reads "HEAVY IS THE HEAD THAT WEARS THE FEZ." very fun episode, this episode does show a fair bit of how the group dynamic works. they balance each other in different ways. also I cannot wait for the unicorn episode now. I really need to start up the patreon again and jump ahead.
While not really discussed (in ref to ~21:00), it was hinted at a couple times (i.e. When Dipper said, "Maybe you need to start being a little tougher around here"; When Stan said, "Get to work! Ahem. Please").
Technically, Mabel lost the bet. The bet was that she could make more money than Stan running the Shack HER way instead of Stan's way. And she didn't. Her way lost a bunch of money while Stan made a whole bunch (even if he did lose it all). Mabel only started making money when she stopped running the Shack her way and started running it Stan's way. Thus, she was wrong and lost.
It's fun to warch how the show tries to make you think that Mabel is the main character Also, it's hard to make a fan favorite character unlikable without taking them out of character. That was Wendy this episode
9:03 yeah i said this 9 months ago but 9:19 i thought it'd be a black morph/body suit 9:32 refund... 9:42 and this made me like 10:57 the gremloblin's face was seen uh... ugh somewhere before, in like the first 3 episodes
After Gravity Falls, they should react to Sonic X WandaVision TMNT (2003, 2012, or 2018) Teen Titans 2003 Justice League animated series Samurai Jack Batman the animated series
in season 2, stan said himself that he already knew the mysterious creatures lurking in d forest,he just wanted dipper and mabel to stay out of trouble dats y he lied,i hope u should watch and do sime reaction in season 2 of gravity falls
Nah it’s 100% roadside attraction. It’s the last episode before the major finale stuff that sets up Mabel not wanting to grow up and Dipper wanting bigger and better things as well as of course the last three episodes. And it’s a tame episode with no overarching story relation smack bang in the middle of a season riddled with MOSTLY only story related stuff. It’s as if they put a season 1 episode into season 2 on accident almost

I'm Stan, and I was wrong. I'm singing the Stan Wrong Song. I shouldn't have taken that chance. Now here's my remorseful dance.
DO THE KICK!

I can’t imagine how much of a nightmare Disney S&P must have been

Soos Would Be A Great Cuddly Teddy Bear! Even Stan Would Have Sold Soos Teddy Bears.

Their reaction to the Grimlablen's greatest fear was just as priceless as the joke itself lmao!
Can you explain the joke? I never got it as a kid

Agreed!
Also the monster's "You have become your father..." and Mabel's "What have I become!"
Stan doesn’t like “please“ but he does respect “thank you“
haha nice reference to the future eps

13:58 the combination of Montana being S H O O K E T H and Kenny laughing like a little boy is absolutely perfect 🤣
This is one of my favourite non-plot heavy episodes of the show.
And your reaction to the "You've become your father" joke was great!
One of the best jokes in he show. And that's a very high bar.
Can you explain the meaning of the joke?

Like him or hate him, Stan knows what he's doing.
Well, con artists who don’t know what they’re doing don’t stay in business for as long as Stan has. 😄
I just finished the show and as much as it hurts that it only had two seasons, it ended really naturally and that’s what i loved about it.
While not really discussed (in ref to ~21:00), it was hinted at a couple times (i.e. When Dipper said, "Maybe you need to start being a little tougher around here"; When Stan said, "Get to work! Ahem. Please").
Stan has an enormously hard time saying "please", this is something important to remember
Now we have both Mabel and Waddles in the suit!
Also the Bottomless Pit is one of my favorites.
can we just get an "azulas voice actor" counter plz
More specifically a Grey DeLisle/Griffin counter.
Hearing them compare The Author to Jeremy Wade is great 😂

True, though she did admit that at the end, so it's fair. "This place was coo-coo bananas until I started barking orders at people like you"
@@jophieedits4412 Yeah, she admits it, so why was it decreed that Stan "lost" the bet, and had to do his loser dance.
This was my first gravity falls episode, definitely a great introduction to the show 😂

YOU'VE BECOME YOUR FATHER!!!
"Boss Mabel": And now for take XXX of "The Stan Wrong Song.";)
I think that's a reference to I become my father be the monster incline Mabel is the monster
Great reaction as always! 🎉
9:15 aa when Soos talked about it, i imagined a full black suit
9:39 i hate this.
But he has to be there for 6 years, unless you mean on and off
Azula's voice actress counter when?
7:41 Die wolf costume! Die!
0:39 Hey Girlypop! 😘🤪💞
Let’s gooooooooo
Is there anyway I can recommend they watch hajime no ippo? The boxing anime
so what happened to episode 12? or did I somehow missed it
Episode 12 was uploaded on Halloween, before uploading Episode 11 so they could have the reaction on Halloween
@@ashleyy2628 ohhh 😯
Do they know about the numbers/letters yet or have they just been not seeing them this whole time
Well, probably they don't care about it, and it's fair.
There are no other people like you
Should we be concerned that they're this far into the series yet haven't picked up on the codes?
Personaly no, I feel like people make too big a deal about it. I don't really think they add anything significant to the experience.
Well, probably they don't care about it, and it's fair.
It’s not a bad thing but it a little weirded me out that both of your shirts were blank this episode
After this show please go watch The Dragon Prince!
Episdode 16 of MHA?
When is attack on titan gonna be reacted to!!!!
After Gravity Falls, they should react to
Sonic X
WandaVision
TMNT (2003, 2012, or 2018)
Teen Titans 2003
Justice League animated series
Samurai Jack
Batman the animated series
Where is attack on Titan thoughhhhh
in season 2, stan said himself that he already knew the mysterious creatures lurking in d forest,he just wanted dipper and mabel to stay out of trouble dats y he lied,i hope u should watch and do sime reaction in season 2 of gravity falls
The Weakest Episode of the entire show.
For me, Roadside Attraction is the weakest. This episode for me is worth it for that "you've become your father" joke.
@@72Guyman Understandable
@@72Guyman i don't know man, i think Roadside Attraction better especially for Dipper's girls issues
