I appreciate how much effort you put into this episode. Not only was the music you put in the background fun to hear, but the analysis itself was great to go through. I can't wait to hear more of your analysis of this series and to see where it goes. The photoshop edits of Sasha was awesome too. It perfectly encapsulates his attitude toward Ginger. Ginger didn't deserve what Sasha was doing to her.
I never watched Ginger until recently. It really IS an underrated gem. Calm, cozy, grounded and sensitive, a rare find in cartoons! It’s more emotionally mature than half the tween/teen stuff I’ve watched when I was younger. I’m glad it’s getting recognition.
I just want to note two things; I really appreciate the in-depth way you explain not only the individual episodes but your raw feelings towards them! And watching these genuinely makes me want to pay for the app where people can watch this show, just to relive the nostalgia! It is BEAUTIFUL! Keep up the amazing work!!!! 💜
I love hearing people talk about As Told By Ginger, I never watched the show personally but there’s just so much depth to the characters that I just love!
Yeah, it’s quite underrated and I only want Nick to bring it back IF they get the original creators/writers back on board, or at least someone who knows what they’re doing first…
Thanks, friend! The changes were implemented a few months ago, subtly 😁 Just a little more artistic twist on my end. The meat and potatoes will ALWAYS be cartoon nostalgia and deep dives!
I was disappointed that Carl did not become a chef as an adult although the investigative nature of Hoodsey and Carl does make sense for them becoming reporters
First off!! Thank you, Shawn, for another banger video! I am genuinely so excited for each of the videos you post because these thoughts and reflections of these shows I grew up with are so well vocalized! Like 80% of the things you say in your videos are true/similar to the things I thought when I watched these episodes. So I'm very glad to be a part of this channel and community! And now second off! I think when Courtney says "I hope Ginger doesn't take it personally." That she was saying it in a more nuetral way so it wouldn't upset Miranda, but it also wouldn't put a negative emphasis on how Courtney believes Ginger will act to Miranda and Darren dating. I think that in more personal conversations with Courtney, she acts more nuetral than positive. This would make her character able to develop more for the progression of her friendships with everyone as time goes on in the series.
I knew we'd see this show again today. I honestly really feel that seeing the darkness of the show really hits close to home, it might even be a kids version of Bojack Horseman due to how real and nuanced the conversations and situations re, not to mention the talent of the voice acting. I even love how this season ends, the voice actress for Carl's teacher passed away last minute so they rewrote the story as a "shaggy dog story" for Carl, as it rendered his attempts to win her back for the class useless, it's a common theme for life, sometimes big efforts will not matter ultimately. Thanks for continuing this, but I know S3 may be a bit of a slog due to the inevitable cruelty.
“Kids version of Bojack Horseman” just rocked my world, man. I totally agree. Both shows hit me like a ton of bricks 😅 I’m excited for the future of this series. You’re right though lol. Season 3 is a looooooooot to take in.
Yippee! Part 2! I first discovered your channel from part one of this series. It was my first ever exposure to As Told By Ginger. I unfortunately never watched it growing up, probably because I was too young to really appreciate the great messages within. I love how you take the time to examine each character within the episodes, as well as the cinematography of each scene. Keep it up, man!
Carls rubber glue attitude makes sense considering all his life his been the odd one compared to him and Ginger, I’m sure he’s more than likely had a few rumours about him spread and likely he either didn’t care or maybe wishes whatever the rumour was that was true.
I agree! Very well said! I also believe Blake is jealous of Carl for his rubber glue attitude. Carl is almost more like Macy, in that he doesn't care what others think.
I would also say a reboot, but..unless there are people put in charge who actually care about the continuity of the series (which ATBG has a LOT of, shockingly), I’m kind of scared of that idea.
Re watching the show as an adult, Dodie and Macie were horrible friends, especially in the play episode Ginger really didnt do anything wrong but she was portrayed as a villain because the dude wasnt interested in dodies awful self.
Macie wasn't a selfish friend like Dodie. but yea honestly Dodie is realistic in that some friends aren't so nice. and when youre emotional youre not thinking clearly. ppl use her age as an excuse but not everyone is a terrible friend and even adults can be as well
What an amazing breakdown of Ginger's complicated love life (well, love life for a 13 year old) - and we only scratched the surface here. I appreciate all your hard work and am looking forward to any new Ginger videos you come out with. You and Old School Lane are my go-to channels to analyze and share in the love of cartoons. I hope you have a peaceful and happy holiday season.
I never watched much of As Told by Ginger as a kid but the main take away I get from this video is that Gingers female friends really suck. Especially the blond girl who not only wasn't supportive of Ginger having a mutual crush on a boy who likes her but then thanks Ginger when she turns him down on her behalf despite both characters wanting to be together.
Sorry Shawn I'm only ten seconds into the video and I have to say it, Ramble Man! I Love to hear you Ramble on about the things you're excited and passionate about!
THANK YOU, IAN. 🥺 I love to ramble lmao. Ngl, there’s a 20+ min long intro that I completely deleted and replaced with this short couple min intro lol. A lot about my dad passing and how it affected my life and my creativity. I had the 46,853 comments of people saying “20:53” or just complaining in general burned into my brain already, so I scrapped it. It was therapeutic enough for me to get those words into my microphone even if they’ll never see the light of day!
I don't know if you noticed this, Shawn. Well, it's more of a blink if you miss it moment. But after Miranda breaks up with Darren, you can see hear changing her hair from the pigtails to the ponytail as she's walking away with Courtney. At first, I thought the pigtails was just Miranda changing her hair. But, I now realize it was Miranda trying to appeal more to Darren i.e making herself more cute with the pigtails. She seems to have a very surface-level understanding to how romantic relationships work. Like, only having time for your significant other, or eventually getting into fights, or changing your appearance for your significant other. Darren also does this when he side-parts his hair.
Oh, man that's such a subtle thing but you're 100% spot on! I totally didn't notice that. I definitely caught Darren and his whole parting the hair conundrum when he attempted to ask Ginger about it. I didn't notice Miranda and her pigtails though lol. Good eye, my friend! :D
@@DuskTillShawn i liked Miranda w/ the pigtails. also we see Courtney had low pigtails when she met up w/ Miranda at that Cheeseplate Factory (which is actually Cheesecake Factory)
OH BOY!!!! PART TWO!!!!!!!! So glad this series is continuing!!!! I know 3+hr videos don't just fall out of the sky, so thank you for giving these your all!!!
I needed this today more than anything, it's actually kind of cathartic. Especially that last episode. See, I found this guy. He was handsome, famous, funny, intelligent, someone I considered out of my league and would've given anything to be with. I was there for him when he needed me, never expecting he'd actually come to America...then he did. I said I'd show him around my city. So I took him out for tea, and to the Museum and we hit it off...at least I thought we did. He was coming on to me and I realized I had feelings for him and he made it seem like it was the same. He embarked on another adventure, but said he'd be back and he was true to his word. It felt like a fairy tale, even slow danced with him in my friend's driveway in the snow. Then one night he gets drunk and seems like he's in trouble, I offered to go there or pay for a lyft to get him out, he begins crying about how much I cared for him. From there, I was willing to pack up and leave with him. Then as soon as he left, he told me he found another guy. I felt rejected, but like a lovesick puppy, I held onto some hope that we'd be together. It didn't last long, claimed the relationship was toxic. Then he posts a video saying he found another guy, claims it wasn't anything, just something for the camera. He then goes through a rough patch, a REALLY rough patch, I was there for him, I listened to his sorrows, I offered to help him out of it. I was there for him and he claimed he'd be coming back in February. Then he posts last night he found the person of his dreams and I tried to be happy for him, but I can't help but feel sick. I guess there's some solace in seeing this analsys because it kind of helps remind me life is complex, full with emotion, and I'm not really alone. Anyway thank you for this. Doesn't take away those emotions, but kind of puts it in perspective.
I had commented on your last As told by ginger video, saying we need the next one, and I’m so glad it’s finally out! I don’t think my heart can wait for the next one! Can’t wait! These are AMAZING. Thank you!
One of my orange kitties is named Ginger. This show meant and means so much to me. I love these videos on this show. I’ll be rewatching them a few times. 😊
6:26 I personally never understood that concept. In my mind, if I like and relate to characters, I don't want them to experience the same crap I went through in school. I would want their fictional lives to be free from that kind of cringe, because the writers have the power to make it happen
Love watching your videos especially about cartoons that aren’t talked about as often. I was a little older when as told by Ginger came out but I still relate to it a lot.
Really nice! Excited to see the third season and all it encapsulates, congratulations on this video as it is noticeable all the effort put into it, and trust us that it is totally appreciated 😊
I loved this show!!! I used to love Dodie because I saw a lot of myself in her. Wanting to be popular and doing everything I could to be popular. However I look back now as an adult, and my gosh Dodie is a horrible friend!!! Why didn’t I see this when I was younger?
I went through something similar to daren after my double jae surgery. An i also had braces, it gives you a decent confidence boost, but when people who were jerks to you before that change start being nice to you, gives me ick vibes and its hard to tell who genuinely likes you. Or is simply being nice to you because of how you look.
Well you’re not the only one it resonates with. I still remember getting my contacts and ditching my glasses for the first time. I was going into 8th grade. For the past 5 years, I looked like the dorky kid from, Boy Meets World. The second I could see straight without those big goggles on my face, I felt 10 lbs lighter and instantly more confident with how I looked. The difference is, while my classmates certainly noticed, they didn’t treat me any different at first. Like the first few months into the year, it was no different from last year. Still got bullied, still got laughed at, still criticized, still left out. What did change eventually was how some girl acted around me. I didn’t really know anyone out side my grade, having grown up with the same classmates year after year, at the school I went to you didn’t interact with any other grade til you got to 7th grade where you interact with 8th grade and 8th grade interacts with 7th grade. And in this 7th grade class were some very pretty girls I never knew. They were actually prettier than the girls in my grade. They started saying hit to me in the morning, smiling at me when we’d pass in the hallways, and not so subtly passing me and my friends by during recess. Having been bullied most of my life, I didn’t really know how to respond to this kind of attention. I could tell one girl in particular from the 7th grade class liked me a lot, even asking me to dance with her during the Valentine’s Day dance. That was a night I’ve been wishing I could relive for years now. The first(and last until further notice)time a pretty girl actually chose me. This wasn’t my first dance with a girl, but it was the first time it was with a girl I liked who actually chose me. No one made her ask me, it wasn’t a joke or a set up, this was the real deal. For once, I felt good about myself. I was happy to be me. I just…didn’t know how to tell her I liked her too. So junior High ended, i went to high school and even though we went to high school together, by then she forgot about me. I wish I could go back and tell that girl how I really felt. How she made my last year in junior high bearable. She really made me look at myself in a new perspective. I’ve struggled with confidence even to this day, but remembering I attracted someone pretty like her once before reminds me that I’m not a complete lost cause. In fact, rewatching this show makes me think about her a lot cause I watched it a lot during that year. I’ve said it before. Junior high really can be the worst years of your life. What with puberty, dances, and all the changes it entails for kids. Not to mention that there are kids like Miranda out there looking to drag you down cause there’s something about you that they can’t stand. And it’s only now years later do I see why they were especially mean to me 8th grade, it’s cause they were afraid of me. They were afraid I was going to see how attractive I’ve become and the girls while like the more confident me and that would’ve taken the spotlight off them. That’s the reason why any bully is the way they are, they are secretly afraid of you and aren’t expecting you to stand firm and show them you aren’t afraid of them. I unfortunately didn’t see that at the time and the bullying took its toll on my self confidence. I’m getting better, but I’m still shy and struggle to talk to women. My advice to anyone who has kids, when they get to junior high age, make you prepare them for bullies and whatnot cause they are going to encounter them! Make sure they aren’t hiding the pain like I did. It will mess them up later in life. Make sure they aren’t intimidated by someone liking them, because if they don’t get used to that feeling, they’re never going to know when it’s genuine. It’s too late for me, but there’s still time for them!
also another awesome childhood show hey arnold shows helga bullying arnold bc she likes him but she broke into his house followed him around she took it to the next level yet its portrayed as like ok. even though helga is a pretty cool character a lot of what she did was wrong.
@@oooh19I couldn’t agree more, I’ve thought about it endlessly about why they would be this way. Maybe they don’t get attention at home, so acting up in school like this gets them attention they want, so maybe that’s why. But I’ve met the parents of some of them, they seemed normal. Well maybe it’s just like you said, they get their kicks from putting ppl down, I don’t see how you can find enjoyment in seeing someone else hurt or left out but they did. Everything is stronger in numbers and when it was randomly chosen to support the mean kid who picks on certain ppl cause what he says is funny to them, the numbers in their support grows and the numbers that defend the victim diminishes. No one wants to be know as the one who defends the picked on kid cause then that means you either have a crush on them or you’re gay for them so they’re alone even tho some wish they could help but they know they can’t. Everyone, especially at the school I went to wanted to be included in the “in crowd”. The ones who were talked to, liked by the girls, invited to the parties, and just included in everything. I was never part of that crowd, but ppl from that crowd started to talk to me 8th grade. Maybe cause it was out last year there and they had nothing to lose by then or maybe they liked my new look, idk. I wish I could relive those days and talk to those ppl the way they deserved to be talked to cause honestly, they weren’t intimidating physically speaking, some were really shorter than me. But honestly I don’t think about them a lot, they went on with their lives and I never had to deal with them again and that’s just how I like it.
@@angel_in-blackanyone can be bullied or a bully. It’s not always the popular kids or the huge kids. A lot of times it’s class clowns who use their classmates for material like it’s mean spirited humor. Many teachers are no help either a lot of adults suck too. It’s good we don’t need to deal with many people who went to school with us anymore. Also I had a kid on my bus who was a couple grades below me who was bullied for his intelligence maybe the classmates were jealous but some could be jerks who enjoy bothering people. And some classmates who were friends ended their friendships due to a new girl stirring the pot. And some people I went to high school with were wealthy and made sure everyone knew it so they thought they were better due to their privilege
@ yes cruelty is not restricted to any age, size, or any motivation behind it. It’s funny cause I’ve had a dealings with 2 separate guys I went to school with. One started out as my friend, we did everything together for a year, then the “cool kids” got to him and said he could hang out with them, he just had to be mean to me since that was their tradition. He didn’t even have to think about it, he instantly acted like the two of us were never friends! Still haven’t forgotten how that made me feel and I don’t think I’ll ever forgive him for that. And I went to school with another guy who wasn’t a bully, he got picked on too, but he was also really mean to me and it’s rare we went a week with out an argument. For 8 years we couldn’t stand each other, then we went to high school, we made some new mutual friends, started spending more time together, and we asked each other what were we actually fighting about? In short, nothing so we put the past behind us, and now to this day he’s a good friend of mine. It is funny to have a friend you used to hate, we’ve joked about it many times. But that just proves I’m capable of getting along with anyone! If I was ever approached by any of my old bullies and they came to me all remorseful and asked me to forgive them, I’d hug em and tell them absolutely, but you know as well as I do that’s never gonna happen, and that’s ok. I’m not a sick individual that wishes bad things on ppl who used to be mean to me. Having worked at a school for awhile I’ve seen how they are these days and while some things never change, it’s very different from when I was a kid and they seem more “tolerant” of each other. I’d love to have given them a lecture about how important it is to be kind to each other and how bullying isn’t cool.
This show has always needed more love. It’s been one of my favorite nick toons since I was a kid. Really appreciate all the work you did on this video and the other part. Great stuff to listen to while I’m doing chores and stuff. I hope you do more videos on this show in the future! And I hope you have a nice holidays(:
I totally agree! It's such an underrated show! Thanks for your support, friend! I really appreciate it :D I hope you have a great holiday season as well!
OMG yes!!! I been waiting for this video!! So excited! Let’s go! About to start it. Grabbing snacks and setting it on the big tv to watch right now!!! Can u tell I’m excited? lol 😆
I've said this before somewhere but I love that this show is getting recognition for what it did these days. years ago it was just low-effort bait for "designs are bad show is bad" videos. thank goodness we've moved on from that.
55:05 It took me rewatching this several times for it to register. Darren, what the heck?! You know, seeing how you and Ginger end up later on in the series before the end, it makes all the more sense why- Perhaps I’m getting ahead of myself. (If you’re confused, I was referring to their eventual breakup that was pretty much Darren’s fault if I can recall correctly. Poor Ginger!)
OMG Shawn I have to tell you man growing I never watched As Told By Ginger but thanks to your analysis videos of this show I started watching it I just finished season 1 keep up the great work
Legit, this video essay is really something to listen to as a bunch of my friends are currently having relationship drama. And it's uncanny how a show about middle school kids is relatable in this regard. Of course the specifics of the problems that happened, harm committed, etc. are very much not Nickelodeon-friendly but regardless this show is a huge vibe and I see why I was a fan of it when I was in middle school, being just the right age for it.
Ginger's love life in the later seasons shows how dramatic her relationships like with Darren in highschool truly became. She was jealous of Darren getting attention from other girls.
I am SO EXCITED for Part Two! You just don’t even know ❤ I’m at the 55:29 mark. I must say, hearing the word narcissism thrown out to describe a young teen boy who’s been compared out to his older brother, underestimated due to corrective dental mechanics(?), bullied and learning how to manage his teenage feelings is harsh. Darren is young and hearing that the person you’ve had a crush on since before WiFi talks about you in therapy must feel good to him. That’s not narcissistic. That’s being a teenager. As someone who dated a person diagnosed NPD, this word (narcissistic) is thrown around as a blanket statement without exploring the nuances of other words. Darren was being prideful or self-centered but narcissistic…I don’t believe so. I wish these pop culture psych terms weren’t so prevalent and misused. This is not a judgement on you. I’ve been working through that relationship and your channel has helped me when I needed a lifeline. You are such a comfort and I feel safe to share that dark time with you. Have a wonderful day!
Honestly I think she really does like ginger I heard theories that she had romantic feelings for her and was confused about it and heard they was the original plan for the character but I don't know how true that is
I remember watching As Told By Ginger. I could never stand the way Miranda treats Ginger. I love your videos Shawn! As a 90s kid, I love to see these cartoons that I grew up with being broken down and analyzed.
I think Macy was trying to tell Ginger that people know that she is not a goodie two shoes and she has a bad side to her. It wasn't judgmental, it was a warning.
28:00 i feel this, like ive always thought i was an uggo, but i keep getting women hitting me up and i have no idea how to react. I definitely connect with darren
you’re doing all my fav nick shows that my shared with me when she was younger, As told by ginger and hey arnold and its so fun to see someone has the same interests in those cartoons as me ❤
I do not have an immediate source but I remember hearing that Courtney was originally supposed to be in love with Ginger, and it was going to be a big plot point, but Nick said no go.
Oh my dear Shawn! You have no idea how painful Ginger’s love life will become, and what deep depths of terrible terrible friendship Doddi will sink to in Season 3 and High School.
I didn't really give the show enough of a chance back when I was younger, kinda kicking myself for that. I appreciate hearing others' inputs and encouragement to check it out once again. That aside, I just wanted to stop in and say thanks for all the great videos. You're hands-down one of the most wholesome people I've found on this site and am really glad to have found your channel
It took me 33 years to understand "rubber glue back to you" because it was always my argument that glue doesnt bounce off of rubber it would just coat the surface, but I get it now.
57:11 Funnily enough. I got reminded of Cree Lincon / Numbuh 11 from Codename Kids Next Door seeing these two interact. Has a bit of Maurice and Cree thing going on with Numbuh 5 trying to stop her sister from taking advantage of Maurice after being "Decommissioned".
I appreciate this series you are doing so much. I know it is hard to make videos this long with this level of analysis and it is greatly appreciated. I've said for years this show is so well written and developed and I'm so glad someone can highlight why. Take your time with each one, I honestly rewatch them every couple weeks to remember where we are in the analysis and eventually we get a continuation and it's worth the wait.
Thank you SO MUCH for your feedback, Kat! I'm so glad that you enjoy this series. :D ALSO, thank you for being my very first member here on UA-cam!!! I appreciate you so much!
2:38:00 ish or so: the "bath salts" back then were not the controlled substance kind, but the actual essential oil loaded sea salt/epsom salts meant for you to use in your bathing ritual.
Yesss I'm so obsessed. I never got to enjoy watching it like I did Rugrats growing up and honestly watching your videos shows what a shame it was that I missed out. I was born in 1999 and had two way older siblings, so I was able to enjoy the remnants of the 90s from VHS and their toys and books. Strangely enough when 2013 rolled around I found something similar. I was able to really sink my teeth into cartoons that had real messages for the kids thanks to Steven Universe, adventure time in mid to late seasons, and of course from then on we've had so many other great entries! I love Amphibia and The Owl House to pieces! It makes me so happy that even in the 90s Ginger was paving the way for some of my AND my nieces and nephews favorite shows. It makes me even happier to know that kids my sisters age have As told by Ginger just like I have Steven Universe and Gravity Falls ❤️
I loved as told by ginger. It was funny but felt wholesome. The last season or two when they went to high school happened in a blur for me, but the drama with Darren, breaking up, and ginger just so happens to get appendicitis right after was brutal, especially to see Ginger heartbroken over her childhood friend turned first boyfriend breaking up with her while admitting he fell for someone else. It’s hard for me to watch that last season. But I watch the finale special. Lois Foutley is one of the best animated tv moms
Omg I'm with you about the mouth noises in the wall episode. 😆I've forgotten a lot about this show, but am so happy to have grown up with it. 💜 Miranda's growth in the band episode was so nice to see, I always liked her and Courtney as a kid. Also, Carl's business acumen at his age is something I envy. 🤣 Had no clue what a "franchise" was myself back in those days.
I hated Dodie so much growing up that the hatred was what stuck with me most from the series. A few years back I saw someone else make a video on As Told By Ginger and couldn't remember much past the theme song until a wash of hate emerged from the lower chambers of my brain, everything else flooding in after.
When you were talking about how Macy thought that Ginger only wanted attention from 10th grade boys really underlines the Cinderella mention earlier in the episode. Cinderella is often misinterpreted as her going to the ball to find primce charming, but she just wanted to go to the ball period. She wanted a night off and to feel special. Ginger just wanted people to not think of her as sone innocent kid. Good eye!
Hey I just wanted to say I really love your videos they're really great being able to be there for the live presentation of one of them was really awesome and I thoroughly enjoyed your ideas for video ideas I would love to suggest you maybe talk about Camp Lazlo or even better try talking about duck man you already talked about a lot of klasky cuspo stuff
In regards to your comment around 2:33:00 about director to student dynamics, at least in the 2000's when I was in high school, the director would tell us this kind of stuff to 14-18 year olds. Granted, the 14yos were rarely if ever given kissing roles, but at least in my school, this relationship was the norm. My experience is also in high school, 16-18 in theater. I can't say what it was like in the lower grades.
I appreciate how much effort you put into this episode. Not only was the music you put in the background fun to hear, but the analysis itself was great to go through. I can't wait to hear more of your analysis of this series and to see where it goes.
The photoshop edits of Sasha was awesome too. It perfectly encapsulates his attitude toward Ginger. Ginger didn't deserve what Sasha was doing to her.
I never watched Ginger until recently. It really IS an underrated gem. Calm, cozy, grounded and sensitive, a rare find in cartoons! It’s more emotionally mature than half the tween/teen stuff I’ve watched when I was younger. I’m glad it’s getting recognition.

I love hearing people talk about As Told By Ginger, I never watched the show personally but there’s just so much depth to the characters that I just love!
Yeah, it’s quite underrated and I only want Nick to bring it back IF they get the original creators/writers back on board, or at least someone who knows what they’re doing first…
Nick could make a Ginger Foutly book series! If any Nicktoon would be a good YA series, it’d be this one!
Damn good show and my favorite It was the first Nick show to take on serious issues It was overshadowed by SpongeBob, rocket power, and Danny phantom
@@Durandel2005 then the latter two got swallowed up by the Big Sponge.
Same
Yes! Another As Told By Ginger Video! Thank you Shawn!!
Thanks for being here, friend! 🤩
I really hope you like this one!
@@DuskTillShawnI love the character Macey and also Courtney because she’s one of very few nice fictional rich characters
Dude I love the way you do your channel man don’t change anything
Thanks, friend! The changes were implemented a few months ago, subtly 😁
Just a little more artistic twist on my end. The meat and potatoes will ALWAYS be cartoon nostalgia and deep dives!
I was disappointed that Carl did not become a chef as an adult although the investigative nature of Hoodsey and Carl does make sense for them becoming reporters
I would’ve loved for him to become a chef too!!! lol would have been an excellent callback 😆
@@DuskTillShawn Hoodsey redrawn as Guy from Diner Drive-ins and Dives would be awesome
@@mathieuleader8601 maybe he cooks on the side
First off!! Thank you, Shawn, for another banger video! I am genuinely so excited for each of the videos you post because these thoughts and reflections of these shows I grew up with are so well vocalized! Like 80% of the things you say in your videos are true/similar to the things I thought when I watched these episodes. So I'm very glad to be a part of this channel and community!
And now second off!
I think when Courtney says "I hope Ginger doesn't take it personally." That she was saying it in a more nuetral way so it wouldn't upset Miranda, but it also wouldn't put a negative emphasis on how Courtney believes Ginger will act to Miranda and Darren dating.
I think that in more personal conversations with Courtney, she acts more nuetral than positive. This would make her character able to develop more for the progression of her friendships with everyone as time goes on in the series.
I knew we'd see this show again today.
I honestly really feel that seeing the darkness of the show really hits close to home, it might even be a kids version of Bojack Horseman due to how real and nuanced the conversations and situations re, not to mention the talent of the voice acting.
I even love how this season ends, the voice actress for Carl's teacher passed away last minute so they rewrote the story as a "shaggy dog story" for Carl, as it rendered his attempts to win her back for the class useless, it's a common theme for life, sometimes big efforts will not matter ultimately.
Thanks for continuing this, but I know S3 may be a bit of a slog due to the inevitable cruelty.
“Kids version of Bojack Horseman” just rocked my world, man.
I totally agree. Both shows hit me like a ton of bricks 😅
I’m excited for the future of this series. You’re right though lol. Season 3 is a looooooooot to take in.
Yippee! Part 2! I first discovered your channel from part one of this series. It was my first ever exposure to As Told By Ginger. I unfortunately never watched it growing up, probably because I was too young to really appreciate the great messages within. I love how you take the time to examine each character within the episodes, as well as the cinematography of each scene. Keep it up, man!
Gorlllll your voice is like a lullaby when I’m falling asleep watching your older vids waiting on the new one. Just lulls me right to sleep ❤
Been patiently waiting for this video for months! Part 1 was the best As told by ginger analysis ❤🙌
Aw, thanks friend! I hope this one was worth the wait!
I hope even more that the next one isn’t anywhere near as long of a wait as this one was lol. 😆
@DuskTillShawn 20 minutes in and definitely! Love from Amsterdam 🇳🇱
Carls rubber glue attitude makes sense considering all his life his been the odd one compared to him and Ginger, I’m sure he’s more than likely had a few rumours about him spread and likely he either didn’t care or maybe wishes whatever the rumour was that was true.
I agree! Very well said! I also believe Blake is jealous of Carl for his rubber glue attitude. Carl is almost more like Macy, in that he doesn't care what others think.
I love you- Patrick Star
*slams door*
Lmao, jk.
Thanks friend! I love you guys more than words could ever say! Every last one of you here is so important to me. 🥹

Happy Holiday Season, DuskTilShawn! 🎉❤🎄🎉 🤶🎅
This show deserves a rewatch!
10/10 recommend. It has such an amazing feel to it!
I would also say a reboot, but..unless there are people put in charge who actually care about the continuity of the series (which ATBG has a LOT of, shockingly), I’m kind of scared of that idea.
I've rewatched it this year myself!
Re watching the show as an adult, Dodie and Macie were horrible friends, especially in the play episode Ginger really didnt do anything wrong but she was portrayed as a villain because the dude wasnt interested in dodies awful self.
Macie wasn't a selfish friend like Dodie. but yea honestly Dodie is realistic in that some friends aren't so nice. and when youre emotional youre not thinking clearly. ppl use her age as an excuse but not everyone is a terrible friend and even adults can be as well
Seeing retrospective on ginger I really missed out experiencing this show first hand while growing up. Glad it’s getting following now ❤
Bradley Dee Baker brought the A-Game to voicing Mr. Liquorice
What an amazing breakdown of Ginger's complicated love life (well, love life for a 13 year old) - and we only scratched the surface here. I appreciate all your hard work and am looking forward to any new Ginger videos you come out with. You and Old School Lane are my go-to channels to analyze and share in the love of cartoons. I hope you have a peaceful and happy holiday season.
I never watched much of As Told by Ginger as a kid but the main take away I get from this video is that Gingers female friends really suck. Especially the blond girl who not only wasn't supportive of Ginger having a mutual crush on a boy who likes her but then thanks Ginger when she turns him down on her behalf despite both characters wanting to be together.
Sorry Shawn I'm only ten seconds into the video and I have to say it, Ramble Man! I Love to hear you Ramble on about the things you're excited and passionate about!
THANK YOU, IAN. 🥺
I love to ramble lmao. Ngl, there’s a 20+ min long intro that I completely deleted and replaced with this short couple min intro lol.
A lot about my dad passing and how it affected my life and my creativity.
I had the 46,853 comments of people saying “20:53” or just complaining in general burned into my brain already, so I scrapped it.
It was therapeutic enough for me to get those words into my microphone even if they’ll never see the light of day!
I don't know if you noticed this, Shawn. Well, it's more of a blink if you miss it moment. But after Miranda breaks up with Darren, you can see hear changing her hair from the pigtails to the ponytail as she's walking away with Courtney. At first, I thought the pigtails was just Miranda changing her hair. But, I now realize it was Miranda trying to appeal more to Darren i.e making herself more cute with the pigtails. She seems to have a very surface-level understanding to how romantic relationships work. Like, only having time for your significant other, or eventually getting into fights, or changing your appearance for your significant other. Darren also does this when he side-parts his hair.
Oh, man that's such a subtle thing but you're 100% spot on! I totally didn't notice that. I definitely caught Darren and his whole parting the hair conundrum when he attempted to ask Ginger about it. I didn't notice Miranda and her pigtails though lol. Good eye, my friend! :D
@@DuskTillShawn i liked Miranda w/ the pigtails. also we see Courtney had low pigtails when she met up w/ Miranda at that Cheeseplate Factory (which is actually Cheesecake Factory)
i'm telling you. this show was so ahead of its time. it deserved so much better. it's a great show
OH BOY!!!! PART TWO!!!!!!!! So glad this series is continuing!!!! I know 3+hr videos don't just fall out of the sky, so thank you for giving these your all!!!
I was JUST wondering about the next Ginger video! Thank you, Shawn!
Thank you for being here, friend!!! I really hope you like this one 😁
Personally I think this show was written super well but I also think it was wasted on the wrong audience for its time.
Yeah, I get you! Especially considering how the end was shifted to Nicktoons Network lol. The audience just wasn’t there at the time.
Agreed
I literally just finished binge-watching all your videos, so I'm thrilled seeing this. ATBG has to be the best show, behind Hey Arnold.
Nobody is doing it like you! Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you SO MUCH, friend.
This means so much to me 🥹
I really appreciate your support!
I needed this today more than anything, it's actually kind of cathartic. Especially that last episode.
See, I found this guy. He was handsome, famous, funny, intelligent, someone I considered out of my league and would've given anything to be with. I was there for him when he needed me, never expecting he'd actually come to America...then he did.
I said I'd show him around my city. So I took him out for tea, and to the Museum and we hit it off...at least I thought we did. He was coming on to me and I realized I had feelings for him and he made it seem like it was the same.
He embarked on another adventure, but said he'd be back and he was true to his word. It felt like a fairy tale, even slow danced with him in my friend's driveway in the snow. Then one night he gets drunk and seems like he's in trouble, I offered to go there or pay for a lyft to get him out, he begins crying about how much I cared for him. From there, I was willing to pack up and leave with him.
Then as soon as he left, he told me he found another guy. I felt rejected, but like a lovesick puppy, I held onto some hope that we'd be together. It didn't last long, claimed the relationship was toxic. Then he posts a video saying he found another guy, claims it wasn't anything, just something for the camera.
He then goes through a rough patch, a REALLY rough patch, I was there for him, I listened to his sorrows, I offered to help him out of it. I was there for him and he claimed he'd be coming back in February.
Then he posts last night he found the person of his dreams and I tried to be happy for him, but I can't help but feel sick.
I guess there's some solace in seeing this analsys because it kind of helps remind me life is complex, full with emotion, and I'm not really alone. Anyway thank you for this. Doesn't take away those emotions, but kind of puts it in perspective.
I had commented on your last As told by ginger video, saying we need the next one, and I’m so glad it’s finally out! I don’t think my heart can wait for the next one! Can’t wait! These are AMAZING. Thank you!
One of my orange kitties is named Ginger. This show meant and means so much to me. I love these videos on this show. I’ll be rewatching them a few times. 😊
6:26 I personally never understood that concept. In my mind, if I like and relate to characters, I don't want them to experience the same crap I went through in school. I would want their fictional lives to be free from that kind of cringe, because the writers have the power to make it happen
Happy Holiday Season, DuskTilShawn! 🎉❤🎄🎉 🤶🎅
Thanks, friend!! Happy holidays to you too! :D
Love watching your videos especially about cartoons that aren’t talked about as often. I was a little older when as told by Ginger came out but I still relate to it a lot.
Really nice! Excited to see the third season and all it encapsulates, congratulations on this video as it is noticeable all the effort put into it, and trust us that it is totally appreciated 😊
I loved this show!!! I used to love Dodie because I saw a lot of myself in her. Wanting to be popular and doing everything I could to be popular. However I look back now as an adult, and my gosh Dodie is a horrible friend!!! Why didn’t I see this when I was younger?
I love your channel Shawn. ATBG is my favorite Nick cartoon. Yes, please do a part 3! Your analysis is unmatched and very much appreciated ❤
Hold up drop everything dusktilshawn has uploaded ❤
I went through something similar to daren after my double jae surgery. An i also had braces, it gives you a decent confidence boost, but when people who were jerks to you before that change start being nice to you, gives me ick vibes and its hard to tell who genuinely likes you. Or is simply being nice to you because of how you look.
Well you’re not the only one it resonates with. I still remember getting my contacts and ditching my glasses for the first time. I was going into 8th grade. For the past 5 years, I looked like the dorky kid from, Boy Meets World. The second I could see straight without those big goggles on my face, I felt 10 lbs lighter and instantly more confident with how I looked. The difference is, while my classmates certainly noticed, they didn’t treat me any different at first. Like the first few months into the year, it was no different from last year. Still got bullied, still got laughed at, still criticized, still left out.
What did change eventually was how some girl acted around me. I didn’t really know anyone out side my grade, having grown up with the same classmates year after year, at the school I went to you didn’t interact with any other grade til you got to 7th grade where you interact with 8th grade and 8th grade interacts with 7th grade. And in this 7th grade class were some very pretty girls I never knew. They were actually prettier than the girls in my grade. They started saying hit to me in the morning, smiling at me when we’d pass in the hallways, and not so subtly passing me and my friends by during recess.
Having been bullied most of my life, I didn’t really know how to respond to this kind of attention. I could tell one girl in particular from the 7th grade class liked me a lot, even asking me to dance with her during the Valentine’s Day dance. That was a night I’ve been wishing I could relive for years now. The first(and last until further notice)time a pretty girl actually chose me. This wasn’t my first dance with a girl, but it was the first time it was with a girl I liked who actually chose me. No one made her ask me, it wasn’t a joke or a set up, this was the real deal. For once, I felt good about myself. I was happy to be me. I just…didn’t know how to tell her I liked her too. So junior High ended, i went to high school and even though we went to high school together, by then she forgot about me.
I wish I could go back and tell that girl how I really felt. How she made my last year in junior high bearable. She really made me look at myself in a new perspective. I’ve struggled with confidence even to this day, but remembering I attracted someone pretty like her once before reminds me that I’m not a complete lost cause. In fact, rewatching this show makes me think about her a lot cause I watched it a lot during that year.
I’ve said it before. Junior high really can be the worst years of your life. What with puberty, dances, and all the changes it entails for kids. Not to mention that there are kids like Miranda out there looking to drag you down cause there’s something about you that they can’t stand. And it’s only now years later do I see why they were especially mean to me 8th grade, it’s cause they were afraid of me. They were afraid I was going to see how attractive I’ve become and the girls while like the more confident me and that would’ve taken the spotlight off them. That’s the reason why any bully is the way they are, they are secretly afraid of you and aren’t expecting you to stand firm and show them you aren’t afraid of them. I unfortunately didn’t see that at the time and the bullying took its toll on my self confidence. I’m getting better, but I’m still shy and struggle to talk to women. My advice to anyone who has kids, when they get to junior high age, make you prepare them for bullies and whatnot cause they are going to encounter them! Make sure they aren’t hiding the pain like I did. It will mess them up later in life. Make sure they aren’t intimidated by someone liking them, because if they don’t get used to that feeling, they’re never going to know when it’s genuine. It’s too late for me, but there’s still time for them!
honestly some ppl are bullies bc thats how they get their jollies, they enjoy bothering ppl.
also another awesome childhood show hey arnold shows helga bullying arnold bc she likes him but she broke into his house followed him around she took it to the next level yet its portrayed as like ok. even though helga is a pretty cool character a lot of what she did was wrong.
@@oooh19I couldn’t agree more, I’ve thought about it endlessly about why they would be this way. Maybe they don’t get attention at home, so acting up in school like this gets them attention they want, so maybe that’s why. But I’ve met the parents of some of them, they seemed normal. Well maybe it’s just like you said, they get their kicks from putting ppl down, I don’t see how you can find enjoyment in seeing someone else hurt or left out but they did. Everything is stronger in numbers and when it was randomly chosen to support the mean kid who picks on certain ppl cause what he says is funny to them, the numbers in their support grows and the numbers that defend the victim diminishes. No one wants to be know as the one who defends the picked on kid cause then that means you either have a crush on them or you’re gay for them so they’re alone even tho some wish they could help but they know they can’t. Everyone, especially at the school I went to wanted to be included in the “in crowd”. The ones who were talked to, liked by the girls, invited to the parties, and just included in everything. I was never part of that crowd, but ppl from that crowd started to talk to me 8th grade. Maybe cause it was out last year there and they had nothing to lose by then or maybe they liked my new look, idk. I wish I could relive those days and talk to those ppl the way they deserved to be talked to cause honestly, they weren’t intimidating physically speaking, some were really shorter than me. But honestly I don’t think about them a lot, they went on with their lives and I never had to deal with them again and that’s just how I like it.
@@angel_in-blackanyone can be bullied or a bully. It’s not always the popular kids or the huge kids. A lot of times it’s class clowns who use their classmates for material like it’s mean spirited humor. Many teachers are no help either a lot of adults suck too. It’s good we don’t need to deal with many people who went to school with us anymore. Also I had a kid on my bus who was a couple grades below me who was bullied for his intelligence maybe the classmates were jealous but some could be jerks who enjoy bothering people. And some classmates who were friends ended their friendships due to a new girl stirring the pot. And some people I went to high school with were wealthy and made sure everyone knew it so they thought they were better due to their privilege
@ yes cruelty is not restricted to any age, size, or any motivation behind it. It’s funny cause I’ve had a dealings with 2 separate guys I went to school with. One started out as my friend, we did everything together for a year, then the “cool kids” got to him and said he could hang out with them, he just had to be mean to me since that was their tradition. He didn’t even have to think about it, he instantly acted like the two of us were never friends! Still haven’t forgotten how that made me feel and I don’t think I’ll ever forgive him for that. And I went to school with another guy who wasn’t a bully, he got picked on too, but he was also really mean to me and it’s rare we went a week with out an argument. For 8 years we couldn’t stand each other, then we went to high school, we made some new mutual friends, started spending more time together, and we asked each other what were we actually fighting about? In short, nothing so we put the past behind us, and now to this day he’s a good friend of mine. It is funny to have a friend you used to hate, we’ve joked about it many times. But that just proves I’m capable of getting along with anyone! If I was ever approached by any of my old bullies and they came to me all remorseful and asked me to forgive them, I’d hug em and tell them absolutely, but you know as well as I do that’s never gonna happen, and that’s ok. I’m not a sick individual that wishes bad things on ppl who used to be mean to me. Having worked at a school for awhile I’ve seen how they are these days and while some things never change, it’s very different from when I was a kid and they seem more “tolerant” of each other. I’d love to have given them a lecture about how important it is to be kind to each other and how bullying isn’t cool.
This show has always needed more love. It’s been one of my favorite nick toons since I was a kid. Really appreciate all the work you did on this video and the other part. Great stuff to listen to while I’m doing chores and stuff. I hope you do more videos on this show in the future! And I hope you have a nice holidays(:
I totally agree! It's such an underrated show!
Thanks for your support, friend! I really appreciate it :D
I hope you have a great holiday season as well!
Love these longer videos on childhood shows. Nostalgia.
Lol you calling Sasha a F boy got me shocked 😲 I didn't know you knew such language😅😅
OMG yes!!! I been waiting for this video!! So excited! Let’s go! About to start it. Grabbing snacks and setting it on the big tv to watch right now!!! Can u tell I’m excited? lol 😆
1:44:20 this whole thing on gossip reminds me of an episode of Boy Meets World.
I forgot if I said this in part 1, but As Told by Ginger is my favorite Nicktoon!
It’s become one of mine too, tbh!
There’s so much to love about this show 🤩
I def see why it’s your favorite! I hope you enjoy the video, my friend!
I've said this before somewhere but I love that this show is getting recognition for what it did these days. years ago it was just low-effort bait for "designs are bad show is bad" videos. thank goodness we've moved on from that.
I’ve been looking forward to watching the second part, so thank you so much for posting it!
55:05 It took me rewatching this several times for it to register.
Darren, what the heck?!
You know, seeing how you and Ginger end up later on in the series before the end, it makes all the more sense why-
Perhaps I’m getting ahead of myself.
(If you’re confused, I was referring to their eventual breakup that was pretty much Darren’s fault if I can recall correctly. Poor Ginger!)
OMG Shawn I have to tell you man growing I never watched As Told By Ginger but thanks to your analysis videos of this show I started watching it I just finished season 1 keep up the great work
Legit, this video essay is really something to listen to as a bunch of my friends are currently having relationship drama. And it's uncanny how a show about middle school kids is relatable in this regard. Of course the specifics of the problems that happened, harm committed, etc. are very much not Nickelodeon-friendly but regardless this show is a huge vibe and I see why I was a fan of it when I was in middle school, being just the right age for it.
This was my favorite show as a little girl 🩷 ginger is one of the only cartoon characters that changes her outfits
Do a video on Dodie and examples if how she’s honestly a toxic friend!
I’ve waited so long for part 2 😭
I'm really hoping the next one isn't this long of a wait lol :D
Thanks for watching, friend!!!!
Ginger's love life in the later seasons shows how dramatic her relationships like with Darren in highschool truly became. She was jealous of Darren getting attention from other girls.
I just watched a short video about as told by ginger and then seen I have this gem as well ❤ I love all you do man!! thank you!!
What can’t dentist? Laughs like a villain
I am SO EXCITED for Part Two! You just don’t even know ❤ I’m at the 55:29 mark. I must say, hearing the word narcissism thrown out to describe a young teen boy who’s been compared out to his older brother, underestimated due to corrective dental mechanics(?), bullied and learning how to manage his teenage feelings is harsh. Darren is young and hearing that the person you’ve had a crush on since before WiFi talks about you in therapy must feel good to him. That’s not narcissistic. That’s being a teenager. As someone who dated a person diagnosed NPD, this word (narcissistic) is thrown around as a blanket statement without exploring the nuances of other words. Darren was being prideful or self-centered but narcissistic…I don’t believe so. I wish these pop culture psych terms weren’t so prevalent and misused. This is not a judgement on you. I’ve been working through that relationship and your channel has helped me when I needed a lifeline. You are such a comfort and I feel safe to share that dark time with you. Have a wonderful day!
Yes yes yes yes yes to courtney and ginger video!
Honestly I think she really does like ginger I heard theories that she had romantic feelings for her and was confused about it and heard they was the original plan for the character but I don't know how true that is
I remember watching As Told By Ginger. I could never stand the way Miranda treats Ginger.
I love your videos Shawn! As a 90s kid, I love to see these cartoons that I grew up with being broken down and analyzed.
Thanks for watching, friend!!! I appreciate your support :D
Love you username btw! ifyouhavegonst has me chuckling lol
@ Yes, named after the band Ghost. Gonst is a joke within the fandom. Love your videos and look forward to the notifications that you posted!
Definitely have to watch later 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🔥
I think Macy was trying to tell Ginger that people know that she is not a goodie two shoes and she has a bad side to her. It wasn't judgmental, it was a warning.
28:00 i feel this, like ive always thought i was an uggo, but i keep getting women hitting me up and i have no idea how to react. I definitely connect with darren
It’s such a tough spot to navigate when you aren’t used to that attention! I’m glad that we have characters like Darren to relate to, my dude.
you’re doing all my fav nick shows that my shared with me when she was younger, As told by ginger and hey arnold and its so fun to see someone has the same interests in those cartoons as me ❤
0:36 such a cool idea.
This video just made my day Thank you Shawn you are awesome
Aww, this comment made my day! 🥹
Thanks friend. I appreciate you so much!
@@DuskTillShawn Your welcome bud and Happy holidays
I do not have an immediate source but I remember hearing that Courtney was originally supposed to be in love with Ginger, and it was going to be a big plot point, but Nick said no go.
I never really watched a lot of this show as a kid, but videos like this make me really feel like I missed out .
Oh my dear Shawn! You have no idea how painful Ginger’s love life will become, and what deep depths of terrible terrible friendship Doddi will sink to in Season 3 and High School.
I didn't really give the show enough of a chance back when I was younger, kinda kicking myself for that. I appreciate hearing others' inputs and encouragement to check it out once again.
That aside, I just wanted to stop in and say thanks for all the great videos. You're hands-down one of the most wholesome people I've found on this site and am really glad to have found your channel
It took me 33 years to understand "rubber glue back to you" because it was always my argument that glue doesnt bounce off of rubber it would just coat the surface, but I get it now.
Well the full saying is actually
I'm rubber you're glue, whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you.
i thought this day would never come
Same lol.
I’ve been working on this FOREVER haha.
55:49 that boy talking to that girl as they pass by the bathroom looks just like Gus from Recess.
Oh yea he does
57:11 Funnily enough. I got reminded of Cree Lincon / Numbuh 11 from Codename Kids Next Door seeing these two interact. Has a bit of Maurice and Cree thing going on with Numbuh 5 trying to stop her sister from taking advantage of Maurice after being "Decommissioned".
Heck yeah, bro! Love this.
Can’t wait for the next Dark Side of Hey Arnold! 😍
I appreciate this series you are doing so much. I know it is hard to make videos this long with this level of analysis and it is greatly appreciated. I've said for years this show is so well written and developed and I'm so glad someone can highlight why. Take your time with each one, I honestly rewatch them every couple weeks to remember where we are in the analysis and eventually we get a continuation and it's worth the wait.
Thank you SO MUCH for your feedback, Kat! I'm so glad that you enjoy this series. :D ALSO, thank you for being my very first member here on UA-cam!!! I appreciate you so much!
I’ve been waiting for this one 🙌🙌
Yay! I’m glad the day has finally come! This one has been in the works for ages lol.
Ginger is the epitome of INFJ I swear. I relate to her so much
2:38:00 ish or so: the "bath salts" back then were not the controlled substance kind, but the actual essential oil loaded sea salt/epsom salts meant for you to use in your bathing ritual.
Yesss I'm so obsessed. I never got to enjoy watching it like I did Rugrats growing up and honestly watching your videos shows what a shame it was that I missed out.
I was born in 1999 and had two way older siblings, so I was able to enjoy the remnants of the 90s from VHS and their toys and books.
Strangely enough when 2013 rolled around I found something similar. I was able to really sink my teeth into cartoons that had real messages for the kids thanks to Steven Universe, adventure time in mid to late seasons, and of course from then on we've had so many other great entries! I love Amphibia and The Owl House to pieces! It makes me so happy that even in the 90s Ginger was paving the way for some of my AND my nieces and nephews favorite shows.
It makes me even happier to know that kids my sisters age have As told by Ginger just like I have Steven Universe and Gravity Falls ❤️
I loved as told by ginger. It was funny but felt wholesome. The last season or two when they went to high school happened in a blur for me, but the drama with Darren, breaking up, and ginger just so happens to get appendicitis right after was brutal, especially to see Ginger heartbroken over her childhood friend turned first boyfriend breaking up with her while admitting he fell for someone else. It’s hard for me to watch that last season. But I watch the finale special. Lois Foutley is one of the best animated tv moms
I like that Miranda and Courtney feel less like best friends and more like girlfriends
how so? many older women refer to their female friends/best friends as girl friends.
I'm registering this as less like super close friends and more like people with a codependent sort of dynamic.
Happy Christmas, Shawn!🎉
Thanks, friend!! I hope you have a great Christmas and an excellent new year! 😁
Omg I'm with you about the mouth noises in the wall episode. 😆I've forgotten a lot about this show, but am so happy to have grown up with it. 💜 Miranda's growth in the band episode was so nice to see, I always liked her and Courtney as a kid. Also, Carl's business acumen at his age is something I envy. 🤣 Had no clue what a "franchise" was myself back in those days.
I hated Dodie so much growing up that the hatred was what stuck with me most from the series. A few years back I saw someone else make a video on As Told By Ginger and couldn't remember much past the theme song until a wash of hate emerged from the lower chambers of my brain, everything else flooding in after.
Yessss I have been waiting for this to come out
OMG YESSSSS I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE!!
Godammn, I've been waiting for this.
I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS 🩷🩷🩷
I really love this series !! Part three please
When you were talking about how Macy thought that Ginger only wanted attention from 10th grade boys really underlines the Cinderella mention earlier in the episode. Cinderella is often misinterpreted as her going to the ball to find primce charming, but she just wanted to go to the ball period. She wanted a night off and to feel special. Ginger just wanted people to not think of her as sone innocent kid. Good eye!
Three hours. Thank you so much
I love this show! I NEVER liked Dodie!
Thanks I been waiting for this
I don't know why, but Gingers mom reminds me of Raiden from Mortal Kombat. 🤔
Hey I just wanted to say I really love your videos they're really great being able to be there for the live presentation of one of them was really awesome and I thoroughly enjoyed your ideas for video ideas I would love to suggest you maybe talk about Camp Lazlo or even better try talking about duck man you already talked about a lot of klasky cuspo stuff
Just in time!🎉
In regards to your comment around 2:33:00 about director to student dynamics, at least in the 2000's when I was in high school, the director would tell us this kind of stuff to 14-18 year olds. Granted, the 14yos were rarely if ever given kissing roles, but at least in my school, this relationship was the norm. My experience is also in high school, 16-18 in theater. I can't say what it was like in the lower grades.
This show really dives deep with its content
