Vanessa’s was irrelevant on Gossip Girl. I watched the show again a few months ago and realized that if she wasn’t in it it would still be the same show.
Honestly, this show was super popular when I was in middle school but I didn't watch it until college and it frustrated me because I kept thinking "all these problems would be solved if you were just freaking honest with each other!!"
I feel the same. And the way they always went through each others belongings? That's so wrong! For me the role show was a critic on how rich people literally have everything, and they're so bored all they do is create drama haha
Alyssa Wilson That is true but a lot of teens lie to each other and keep secrets. And I guess if the characters were honest that would probably be pretty boring.
Dan’s family was never supposed to be a “poor family.” Rufus was a pretty successful art gallery owner, not to mention a successful band member, even if it may or may not have been a one hit wonder and now mostly forgotten. He sends two kids to private school. Even considering the possibility of scholarship, it obviously shows that Dan is middle class or even upper middle class. They are just frugal (relatively) because they know their bank account is not bottomless.
whitesketchbook Remember when Jenny's mom just picks up a pair of Manolos and buys it flat out after looking at the 4 figure price tag for like 3 seconds? Yeah... Normal ppl don't do that.
And to be even more fair, middle class in NYC, is not middle class in most of America. Everything in NYC > Most of America prices. From housing to food. So I would consider him if he simply moved out of the city, maybe upper class in most other places. But to @doriosity's point. If someone just casually buys a 4 figure price tag thing without even considering it, that isn't middle class either. I mean, yeah - middle class CAN afford four figure price tags, but to stay in the middle class, you have to plan out and think on which things you want to buy, and not be just wastefully spending that kind of money.
Every episode of gossip girl: everyone attending parties, Blair and Serena getting into a fight, Chuck and Blair expressing their emotions but still not getting together, Jenny being annoying
"This show was pretty tame" wait until chuck's dad fakes his own death, then tries to murder his son, and then falls to his death from the top of a building
Also, people forget, Chuck was very Rapey, and creepy in the early seasons. Remember when he tried to rape Jenny, and everyone was all like “oh that’s just Chuck Bass, that’s what he does” 🤦🏽♀️
now she's hot af, what are u even talking about? 😂 love her and her music. Btw her character in the show turned out great, she got so much self confidence over the time and I loved her fights with Blair :)
Taylor grew up she wanted to make music and she is doing so well in it. I miss her acting career but I love how she grew with music and matured into the woman she is today
Dude try to volunteer on a kibbutz in Israel with a a small group of Mexicans from age 18-19. I swear if there was a way for me to upload the photo of the bottles the went through in the first month you would die of alcohol poisoning just from look at it. And it was mainly vodka bottles
Elena Ryan okay so twenty Jewish Mexican kids in Israel where vodka is Hella cheap. I kid you not, each of them went and bought at the very least five bottles a day. I remember they arrived at 1pm get to 4pm and they are sloshed. We still found about 180 more bottles than the original set of 400 they gathered in the cooking area
Because their parents are emotionally, and often physically, absent from their lives and don't care what they do as long as they don't publicly embarrass them. In the books, they did a looooot of drugs too, especially Nate.
@Anatasia Tusin in fairness if your watching a show and don’t want spoilers then don’t watch videos about the show and definitely don’t go to the comments lol
Ilinca Ana yes of course but I meant specifically how often they are served alcohol, or even how they get into places like bars and clubs (I know there are 18+ clubs but in my experience it’s never really clarified in these shows)
I’m so glad you mentioned chuck and Nate being on the public bus. It still bothers me! There was no logical reason for it and they never do it again!!!
Erica Edmonds that’s just how pilots always go, things are sightly different or off brand just to fit the whole base of the show in one episode, but I totally get you, when I rewatching it I thought it was so funny that those 2 were taking the bus
And somehow she's suppose to be the "it" girl of the show 😂😂 i think ill pass.. she's always so dumb and makes mistakes for herself but never owned up to it and blame others when it bites her ass back
Blair & Chuck weren’t innocent by any means, but they did have the best character development and felt the most real to me. Serena was super shallow and never seemed to change at all throughout the show. Vanessa & Jenny are a WHOLE other story.🙄🙄
I live in NYC and am a NYC private school kid who's gone to elite schools across from Central Park like they do, so trust me when I say a huge chunk of my friends and classmates go in and out of bars and clubbing weekly. It's wild. Everyone either has fakes or is just let in. You'd be surprised how many places in NY don't card
I rewatched Gossip Girl in my late twenties and realized that everybody’s it girl Serena was indeed a shallow socialite Dan portrayed her in his book. I mean, affair with a politician at 20, not attending college and not even working just living by? The worst was when se tried to defend herself against these accusations and I remember my teen self feeling sorry for her. I am amazed how I loved this character and she annoys me now just because my mindset matured. I guess we do grow up. Still an iconic show though and I still love it and my high school years wouldn’t have been complete without those headbands
THANK YOU. it was alwayssss about serena. she was always the victim and never had to truly take responsibility for anything. also one of the most selfish characters. plus she literally got every single thing handed to her and expects everyone to cater to her. she’s the worst character in my opinion. at least blair worked to earn her queen b status, got good grades, did extra curriculars, put effort into her relationships, etc. if she wanted something she would make a plan and work for it. and when blair was a bitch she always got humiliated or had to pay for her actions in some way. but serena always got off scot free. she just shows up and is given the world. it got old pretty fast.
Thaaaaaaannnnk you. She is the worst, remember when she tried to make Lola her own "cousin" the new it girl, Lola didn't really want that, and Lola saw the opportunities were not that bad after all and then Serena got jealous she lied about Lola and she never apologized. She even got mad at Lola after she tried to expose her as GG even though Lola kept her secret. Everything Dan said about her was true, she literally tried to call the other guy just after reading what Dan said about her dying for men's attention. Every minutes she is with a new guy, I'm not slut shaming her because it wasn't like Chuck who was sleeping around, she fell in love way too easily. Her character was the worst, she ended the show how she started it and maybe even a little bit worse.
that’s what i always thought about Dan and his family apparently being “poor” like he may live in brooklyn but his apartment is still way too big for supposedly having no money
they were not that poor. i mean rufus managed to send them both to a private school these rich kids go to. i mean , that must have cost a lot of money. they were poor if you compare them to the rest of the people who were insanely rich :)
he was upper middle class. he's the son of a retired rock star. he lives in a brooklyn loft instead of a manhattan hotel penthouse. they don't really go out of their way to portray him as "poor" in terms of him not having any money. he's "poor" bc he doesn't have the capital means to lead the same opulent lifestyle as his school peers who are billionaires in comparison. rufus humphrey is probably a millionaire in the show. far more than what the average american has. a million dollars is not a lot of money when it gets down to living in nyc, sending your children to school for the rich elite, and be able to partially finance ivy league educations (there must've been a reason why yale refused to pay for dan's education). it's kinda like the whole great gastby old money v new money fiasco. gatsby, as rich as he was, didn't have enough capital to be "in" with the rest of the elite bc he wasn't the same money they were.
Exactly! Dan's family is waayy more well-off compared to mine. 😭😭😭 They go to a private school, live in that whole-ass apartment, and live very, very comfortably. If they are poor, then I'm BPL! And my family's not even poor. They're lower middle class.
Watching Gossip Girl in your twenties makes you see how Dan was right about all of them. Serena and Nate bounced from relationship to relationship including with married men/women and minors. They dropped out of college. The only pairing that had character growth was Blair and Chuck, and even Dan who saw right through them but still ended up marrying Serena at the end which was a total fail on the shows part. Nate and Serena should of ended up together since they are so much alike, and Dan with Vanessa.
nate and serena were both players which bothered me cause i liked them so much but their choice in partners was so whack like nate dated a 16yr old brat and a 40 yr old as well and serena had an affair with a politician and she didnt even realize how messed it was cause he was taken. i really wished the show showed them mature up and they end up together
Lulu Love PERIODT!!! I didn’t like Serena at all but when she manipulated dan to cheat I lost all of my respect for her and for the writers to have him come right back? Oh lord. Vanessa and dan would’ve been so good for eachother and genuinely a nice ending for dan
@@fionaburgos6109 serena was toxic af and what i hated about her was the fact that she never listened to anyone when ppl told her she was messing up but i stills stan her cause blake lively played her so it was hard for me to fully hate her
Daisy Blue ngl I can’t look at Blake Lively the same after watching the show 😔 but really Serena was the rosy out of the bunch; she always got away with everything and she was the definition of a brat. She always played victim and never took responsibility for all the terrible things she did. Dans chapter was 100% correct and it still pains me that they ended up together
You should! Its so addicting, i remember watching episodes on Netflix and my mom or brother would be in the kitchen overhearing, and 99% of the time the episode got their attention so much they sat down with me to finish the episode
I'm watching it now in Netflix, is actually a good show, I'm a little addicted to it (Sorry, I'm not sure if i wrote that right, is not my first language)
To be fair, Dan isn't supposed to be real world poor. He's just poor compared to the other characters. I mean, at one point (in the books) Blair's mother buys each of her children their own island just because. That's the level of wealth we're talking about here.
Hazelle yep. At first, she had a younger brother, I think, then her mother got remarried and she got a new stepbrother, Aaron who was like a hippie and who she (or Serena, I can't remember) had a fling with. Her mother later had a baby with her stepfather which is when she bought the private islands.
Victoria Smith there are actually 12 books, plus a spin-off series called the It Girl which follows Jenny's misadventures at boarding school after she's publicly humiliated in NYC. Later there was a second spin-off series set in New York with new characters, the Carlyles after the original group of kids graduated college but that second spin-off was terrible because it was ghostwritten by a different person who felt the need to moralize the characters' actions and show that they were empty and shallow. Duh, I already know that - it doesn't mean I don't want to enjoy the insanity of their lifestyles. Gossip Girl is a fantasy and there's nothing wrong with the occasional brain candy.
If this show was made today, Gossip Girl would be a serial killer. And everyone else would pretend to be her so they can kill people and blame Gossip Girl.. Also Serena Vanderwoodsen would have become a vampiress after her trip to Transelnetticut. Blair's a witch doctor obviously.
i still dont understand how the characters can have endless drinks AT THE BAR while they are still in high school, which technically is illegal for the bar to serve drinks to these minors or whatsoever. there are definitely a lot of questions and flaws and more questions.
noora I think the point is that they’re not just rich, they’re rich beyond imagination. Their families have so much power,l and that’s why they pretty much do what they want.
in the books they said that the older girls use the same uniform for a long time so it got shorter when they aged, and the school changed the uniform a little later or something like that (years since I read it)
I still feel like Blair is the only character I love, even after rewatching for like the 20th time and I feel like most of that is due to Leighton's acting. Sure, she was super bitchy and mean, but most of that was due to how she was treated in comparison to Serena. Like, the perfect example to this is how Blair literally worked extremely hard academically, but still got waitlisted for Yale, while Serena just got a shoo-in for being her flighty, paparazzi friendly self. Blair was always seen as second best even if she worked extremely hard to get the Queen B position she has. In the books she was literally a caricature of the "perfect, UES Queen", and while the show still kept some of that aspect for her character, I guess they felt fleshing it out more for a television show would have been better (even though I think it's due to the time the show was made as well, like tv teen dramas didn't really have a lot of "umph" in them (lowkey some of them still don't), I feel like a literal satire, like the books intended, would be better achieved now)
Zapper1011 Same. And she wasn’t a backstabbing bitch. Most of the times she used to own up to her Shit. She was really hardworking and very passionate about her professional life which was the main reason why I liked her. Whereas Serena was just a hot mess, she was all over the place, didn’t knew Shit but still somehow got into the best college, like what?😂 Moreover she was more shady than blair and backstabbing too.
Literally Blair is the only realistic and genuine character. She went through her dad leaving,her best friend cheating with her boyfriend, an eating disorder, constantly being second best, not getting into her dream college, her mum remarrying and loads of drama with chuck yet she still remained the same person
@isa: ´HAD’ a good heart. Honestly i have been rewatching the show and Serena is losing it really in the last seasons. All I could think of was 'Girl why are you lying to everyone, always hurting others, always thinking about yourself?' Also Serena had maybe this sad situation with her father, but that is nothing compared to what Blair endured. Blair had this constan t pressure of her mother's succesful career, her parents got divorced because her father was gay, and her father ends up with one of her mother's models? And he goes away to live in France? Serena never knew her father, so i can understand the daddy issues, but that is about all that i can understand from her behaviour. She does not have such a good heart in the end. At least not a better heart than Blair (who obviously also i a very childish bitch sometimes)
6:10 - 6:15 riverdale's Veronica drinking vodka or something for breakfast at like 7 am in the morning lol She's 16 and her mom came in and her first response was "that was for your father" LMAO
Blair has a line in the pilot about how her Mom got plastic surgery after the divorce. I always imagined the second Elenor was just how she looked after.
I watched gossip girl (not all seasons though because I got tired after season 4 or 5) many years ago and I didn't remember that they changed the actor... I watched this video now and I was thinking that this mother looked weird from what I remembered lol
Always had a problem with the premise though :/ Like having these fairy tales characters transported to our current world is a nice concept, but this being a curse ? this being the great revenge Regina's gonna get ? Meh :/ It would've been better if the show looked a bit more like the wolf among us/fables, if they really showed how going from a fairy tale wolrd to our world destroyed some of those characters life. Because for the most part it just look inconvenient. Not really the kind of thing a curse/revenge plot is supposed to be. And Regina is like rather nice with the people she cursed. I'd expect her to be a lot meaner than what she is in the show.
Yeah when I first watch the show I remember thinking "wait that's it ?" I mean jesus christ she had to kill the last person she cared about to use that "curse". You can't go that far for a result that weak. It's like if after killing the younglings, killing Mace Windu and killing the separatist you'd learn that Anakin did all that so he'd could learn the power to regrow his hand. You might be trying too much if that's what you end up getting.
Hate on me all you want, Dan should’ve come full circle after revealing he’s gossip girl and go back to being no one. Just all that work for nothing. Also gives a great moral lesson that we shouldn’t try to fit in or change ourselves for others. Brilliant
Morality, upper east siders? I heavily disagree. They all lived for the drama in their lives, were treated and wanted to be treated like they were SUPERIOR to economically less privileged kids. They all did awful a lot of things, and got away with it, like sleeping with married people, sa’ing people with zero SERIOUS consequences like, really, a punch is not enough; bullying, sabotaging people’s future, marrying someone you don’t love and making them sacrifice and compromise a lot for themselves…list goes on. He, who was treated like a nobody, was at the end of the day, married to his crush, a powerful writer in the upper east side, preferably even more useful than her wife, and literally connected to powerful people. He was the actual holy GG and got away with it. The most impressive character in the show, admit it or not.
also blairs voice changed so much from season 1 to 6! like in the final seasons its so nasally and girly and almost baby, and in the first season its low and sexy and almost... normal... so weird to see blair grow into her character .. Serena stayed constant throughout the whole thing...
beautyhearts23 blair changed into leighton. thats what happened. the actors stopped putting in effort. they’re basically being themselves reading dialogues
Serena didn’t change at all! She stayed the same. Bounced from relationship to relationship and still ended up with Dan at the end though he wrote all those terrible things about her (which were true) and was GG. So unrealistic. She should of ended up with Nate in the end and Dan with Vanessa.
I’m watching the 4th season of Gossip Girl as I am writing this. Serena is THE mean girl of this series. She always wants the spotlight to be on her but at the same Time pretends to be a Nice person (or a better person than the others) while B is 100% herself. What she did to Blair and Louis js scandalous 🙌🏼
Hannah Beynon I honestly think Supernatural was a lot better during it's earlier seasons. The show got weird after season 4 because this was around the time the original writer died. the show could have easily ended if you shave off the last few seconds of the season 5 finale because that's where the original writer wanted the show to end (it was supposed to be a 5 season show and it really shows). but that's just my opinion. I'm not saying you should stop liking it. if you like it then continue to love it :)
Ricardo Contreras I definitely agree with you, the show was weird and a mess after the 4/5 season. I mean season 12 was just weird, but I mean I still and will always love the show, and I mean season 13 is looking pretty good
I'm livid you didn't mention the obsession everyone had with Serena, it was so infuriating, every fucking episode there was another person in love with her... Blair was much more beautiful.
@@truebeautyj6165 true but I think people fell in love with Serena for her personality. Keep it real as beautiful as Blair was she had a disgusting personality.
I was interested in hearing a guys perspective on this because I’ve always thought the same thing! My boyfriend said Blair has a prettier face but is too upitty and prissy and that’s a turn off, while Serena has that down to earth cool girl vibe and overall looks sexy. Like she has the whole package. Even if her face isn’t technically as pretty. At the end of the day she’s still a tanned, tall, blonde, thin hot girl and lower maintenance than Blair. So overall more attractive to guys. But I agree. I always thought Blair was the better looking one (I think most girls agree), and despite being scheming and insecure was always a loyal friend to Serena while Serena would just desert her and galavant off with some new guy in a second if she got the chance. Plus Blair worked harder for things while Serena got handouts essentially. There was a lot about Serena’s personality in the later seasons I didn’t like either. She went from being a humble soul who just wanted to live a normal life to a girl who knew exactly where her high profile name and good looks could get her and made no effort to retain any humility. In a way New York made her toxic, as it did to most people in the series. I think the entire show highlighted how much of a dog fight that high society elitist world can be and how it can corrupt the wholesomeness in you.
I watched the show at 15 and then recently again at 20, the way I see it now is so different. I used to look up to Blair and think she was amazing but really her character development was really slow and she ruined her life multiple times by scheming so much when she let it go. I used to hate Jenny towards the end but now I feel for her, I can see the things that sucked her in and the mistakes she made were real, that scene after she sleeps with chuck and she’s crying always really gets to me. Not a single character faced the repercussions of their mistakes like Jenny.
Idk im still salty about who gossip girl was and how the finale didn't end w SerenaxNate (the show gave me more reasons to end up hating Dan's character development AND his sister - basically all the Humphrey's when I used to like them the most 🤦)
I was over them and serena's family (expect Eric) by season 3 like how can you put them together after their parents get married, share a brother and cheating? With multiple other issues. Dan was just too whiny for me and Jenny just turned to a bitch who took no responsibility. Serena was continually a spoilt brat
my hatred for dan really knows no bounds...the whole pick me boy attitude in the first half of the show and then "tortured" hypocrite artist thing in the later seasons was always ridiculous tbh
I think it’s interesting how Gossip Girl introduces Dan to her readers the same way the writers/camera introduces him to the viewing audience. The audience is also a reader of gossip girl!
Gossip Girl is show about overprivileged, spoiled, over the top, and sometimes highly annoying white teens ......and I love every minute of it. Lmao, mainly it’s mostly because Chuck and Blair
Cairo Williams So true. It was classic teen soap opera trash but sometimes that’s just what you need. Like a fairy tale but the grim ones you enjoy but would never want actually live through yourself. It’s a romanticized Hollywood version of a society and an NYC that most of us will never know IRL. And I’m a-ok with that. By the end of the show I couldn’t stand Dan, Jenny or Serena and instead Chuck and Blair’s complicated romance and personal issues were the most compelling storyline. I legit was only watching for those two after season 2.
3 inconsistencies I'm now seeing in the pilot episode vs. the rest of the show: 1. Nate and Chuck taking the bus to school. 2. A different actress playing Blair's mother. 3. Jenny acting surprised that Dan even reads Gossip Girl, when the finale reveals that she knew that he himself was GG the whole time.
My boyfriend got me into gossip girl last year, we both missed the bandwagon and just didn't get into it when everyone else did and we watched every episode from the start until the end together, it was the reason I came over to his house and met his parents for the first time because we wanted to watch it aha, now well over a year later we're still together, happy, and have finished it all aha
I will say this: I actually read the entire book series, and the way the show frames these characters is completely different than the books. In the books, it’s established that Serena is flighty and doesn’t know what she wants, and often ends up hurting people because of it. Nate is a stoner with no direction in life, who never really pursues women, so much as lets them fall into his lap, and responds with “... Sure.” And Blaire is a terrible person. She’s spoiled, vain and insecure. She wants to be just like Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, but doesn’t give a thought to doing any of the humanitarian work or real life actions of Audrey. She is surface level, and the reader is made to laugh at her stupidity and suffering. Even Dan doesn’t leave unscathed. He’s a fake deep artist, typical “nice guy”, who ends up doing the same terrible shit as the other characters. This may have gone on too long, but it just bothers me how this show was misconstrued into a typical teen drama, when in reality, it could have been a kind of funny satire commentary on the lives of young privilege kids. ... And I loved pretending I was rich and hot in middle school 😶
Then I’m glad they switched up the characters to have more substance because growing up to watch a show with more than four seasons of pure nothing is not that appealing
Shivam Kakkar Oh come on. Literally no one is innocent in that show, everyone did fucked up stuff. He owned up to his mistakes. Chuck and Blair grew up and ended being perfect in the end regardless of what they had done in the past.
I think Gossip girl is one of the the best TV dramas ever. It's just really well written. Even though each character has a gimmick (Dan is the poor boy underdog, Blair is the bitchy fashionista, Jenny is the edgy outsider who really wants to be an insider, chuck is the player, Nate is the nice rich boy, and Serena is where all the secrets and or twists come from), their interactions and chemistry are all really well written and the whole show has this air of fantasy and "this could never be reality". The high schoolers sitting at a bar drinking martinis is what always did it in for me. It's so incredibly captivating and extra and over the top. God I miss this show, it's time to rewatch it
@@uhhidkk i mean nate and serena deserve each other, Dan is a little obsessive to serena. Don't get me wrong, dan have a better personality, but after all he is the gossip girl and he's such a creep by posting everyone's secrets and plus he added himself to gossip girl
I dont get the school's uniform policy.... its a mish mash of uniform and whatever clothes they want! When i was at school we couldn't even have coloured hair clips!
Gossip girl has so many toxic relationships.. both romantic and otherwise... but for some reason I still love and have watched it over and over again for over like 5 times 🤷♀️
we do definitely need more contemporary shows like it.. those teen dramas were all the rage now everything has to be a gimmick or like action or something like just bring back bitchiness and social stuff
cosmo naut Riverdale, On my Block, 13 Reasons, Skins, Pretty Little Liars....granted some of those are a bit darker than Gossip Girl but they still have that ‘bitchiness’ and ‘social’ stuff you want, keep in mind not every show can be the same though :/ if you want the same you may as well wish for a Gossip Girl spinoff.
Vanessa’s was irrelevant on Gossip Girl. I watched the show again a few months ago and realized that if she wasn’t in it it would still be the same show.
No it wouldn't because Vanessa was the one who got Dan's book famous in the first place and that book being published changed Dan's life.
JAMES60085 she was literally the worst character
It would be the same show except 4000 times more enjoyable bc she did nothing but make me irrationally angry at all times
@@heated_stan7055 She's a close second, I find Jenny as the worst.
I am struggling to even remember who Vanessa is....
Honestly, this show was super popular when I was in middle school but I didn't watch it until college and it frustrated me because I kept thinking "all these problems would be solved if you were just freaking honest with each other!!"
I feel the same. And the way they always went through each others belongings? That's so wrong! For me the role show was a critic on how rich people literally have everything, and they're so bored all they do is create drama haha
omg yes exactly what i have been thinking
Alyssa Wilson That is true but a lot of teens lie to each other and keep secrets. And I guess if the characters were honest that would probably be pretty boring.
YEEEEESSSSSSSS!
Thats the fun of it all. Nobody would watch the series if everybody got along with each other, yall are hating for no reason its fiction
Dan’s family was never supposed to be a “poor family.” Rufus was a pretty successful art gallery owner, not to mention a successful band member, even if it may or may not have been a one hit wonder and now mostly forgotten. He sends two kids to private school. Even considering the possibility of scholarship, it obviously shows that Dan is middle class or even upper middle class. They are just frugal (relatively) because they know their bank account is not bottomless.
whitesketchbook
Remember when Jenny's mom just picks up a pair of Manolos and buys it flat out after looking at the 4 figure price tag for like 3 seconds?
Yeah... Normal ppl don't do that.
doriosity what ep and scene was this ???
And to be even more fair, middle class in NYC, is not middle class in most of America. Everything in NYC > Most of America prices. From housing to food.
So I would consider him if he simply moved out of the city, maybe upper class in most other places.
But to @doriosity's point.
If someone just casually buys a 4 figure price tag thing without even considering it, that isn't middle class either. I mean, yeah - middle class CAN afford four figure price tags, but to stay in the middle class, you have to plan out and think on which things you want to buy, and not be just wastefully spending that kind of money.
this guy gets it. the Humphrey family was not poor, but in comparison to the waldorfs,the van de woodsens, bass' and Archibald, they were peasants.
Yep they weren't poor. Just not obscenely rich like the rest of their classmates who came from historical families.
Every episode of gossip girl: everyone attending parties, Blair and Serena getting into a fight, Chuck and Blair expressing their emotions but still not getting together, Jenny being annoying
And Vanessa unnecessarily inserting herself
serena and nate getting new lovers
Serena causing another scandal
Lily keeping a scret
You are so true...
"This show was pretty tame" wait until chuck's dad fakes his own death, then tries to murder his son, and then falls to his death from the top of a building
Yeah umm I wasn’t that far in yet
Also, people forget, Chuck was very Rapey, and creepy in the early seasons. Remember when he tried to rape Jenny, and everyone was all like “oh that’s just Chuck Bass, that’s what he does” 🤦🏽♀️
Fucking dick
@Naomi Silva Goncalves Show literally ended 8 years ago
@@lilblock3564 Show literally ended 8 fucking years ago, it's your own fault for going in the comment section of a video about it.
Gosh seeing Jenny in the first episode made my heart hurt. I really developed to HATE her over the seasons and now, seeing her so pure... Damn
F L O R A but then you see her in real life, she changed from the little grinch girl to some wannabe grunge chick
now she's hot af, what are u even talking about? 😂 love her and her music.
Btw her character in the show turned out great, she got so much self confidence over the time and I loved her fights with Blair :)
Taylor grew up she wanted to make music and she is doing so well in it. I miss her acting career but I love how she grew with music and matured into the woman she is today
It makes my heart hurt that Chuck tried to rape both Jenny and Serena and knowing it never had a single consequence
F L O R A yeah its really sad
I never understood how these teenagers got away with drinking so damn much?
Cuz they're riiiiiich
Dude try to volunteer on a kibbutz in Israel with a a small group of Mexicans from age 18-19. I swear if there was a way for me to upload the photo of the bottles the went through in the first month you would die of alcohol poisoning just from look at it. And it was mainly vodka bottles
Elena Ryan okay so twenty Jewish Mexican kids in Israel where vodka is Hella cheap. I kid you not, each of them went and bought at the very least five bottles a day. I remember they arrived at 1pm get to 4pm and they are sloshed. We still found about 180 more bottles than the original set of 400 they gathered in the cooking area

How are they still all fit and sexy too?
can we just talk about how they’re like 15 and they’re drinking martinis at a hotel on a school night i-
Renata in the first season only jenny was like 15, the others were 16-17-18 i think
@@palaquium they are 18 on like season 3, the first one they all are 16 except jenny who is 14
Renata they are rich in the show so they like get away with anything
I was watching this and was like “I don’t know think they live in the same New York as I’m in, because of they are serving 16-18 year olds alcohol.”
Right?
Why is Dans dad more attractive than Dan😂😂😂

im so happy they switched the actress for eleanor waldorf. she was iconic
It was weird for me.
i was rewatching gossip girl and i got so confused and i was like hold up that ain’t the real eleanor
Wait what? I didn't even notice 💀
C M i didnt either lol
Wait what
It’s insane how much alcohol “teenagers” drink in these teen dramas.
Teens in the real world drink just as much just not super expresive stuff
Ilinca Ana yes of course but I meant specifically how often they are served alcohol, or even how they get into places like bars and clubs (I know there are 18+ clubs but in my experience it’s never really clarified in these shows)
Jayde Blackmar you'd be surprised how easily kids find a way
@@AJB9806 dude I know lots of teens who are even around 15 who get fake IDs to go in bars and drink alcohol...
it felt believable as a european cause we party that much but i guess it isn’t credible in the US i never thought of that
Holy crap I didn't even realize they had a different actress for Eleanor Waldor
Amber G waldorf
OMG
It's so weird they did that.
@@eiffelviolet It happens often after pilots. Usually sets and locations change as well.
Amber G I realized but then I didn’t pay attention lol
I’m so glad you mentioned chuck and Nate being on the public bus. It still bothers me! There was no logical reason for it and they never do it again!!!
Erica Edmonds that’s just how pilots always go, things are sightly different or off brand just to fit the whole base of the show in one episode, but I totally get you, when I rewatching it I thought it was so funny that those 2 were taking the bus
J
They were probably downtown buying some weed or something, since they were seen smoking a joint too
Slumming it for kicks lol
He also talks about his mom as if she were alive in the first episode
Serena is the only character who never changed throughout the entire show
And somehow she's suppose to be the "it" girl of the show 😂😂 i think ill pass.. she's always so dumb and makes mistakes for herself but never owned up to it and blame others when it bites her ass back
Always been a bitch
And every episode and season ending, she was like, I'm trying to change!!!!! Lol
Well Dan too because he remains obsessed with her & then MARRIES her!
As in personality or in general
The “devil’s tango” is now my favorite euphemism, thank you good sir
Valentine Young same 😂
@Yemima Hutapea he just plays with different ways to say sex, devil's tango, Satan's mambo, beast's cha cha...
Valentine Young satan’s mambo jambo #5
The most unbelievable thing is how 'old' Dan's father is
OcarinaSapph1r3 -24 exactly like wow
OcarinaSapph1r3 -24 he must been 5 when he had them
Lmao right? He looked like he could be Dan’s brother 😂
Especially since Dan’s got an older brother and lily was 22 when she had him😂
the actor was 37 when it started which makes sense bec it means he would've had Dan in his 20s
Blair & Chuck weren’t innocent by any means, but they did have the best character development and felt the most real to me. Serena was super shallow and never seemed to change at all throughout the show. Vanessa & Jenny are a WHOLE other story.🙄🙄
Faith Ann when Jenny left I was SO happy
Me Vanessa was just jealous of Serena and Jenny was to but Serena was a mess I like her though I don't get it
If that’s all you think of Serena you need to watch the show again
Chuck was a rapist who never got punished and Blair was misogynistic witch
A Piece Of Life "character development "
Gossip girl is definitely better than Riverdale
Saanvi Sai obviously
Yeah that’s obvious
Saanvi Sai can that even be argued tho lmao
Duhhhhhhh
DON'T EVEN
Also why does Dan look older than his dad?? 🤔
Discount Benjamin Button syndrome.
Eddie at The LMV I was too! 😂
Alexander Sunderland-Bragg lmao exactly what i was thinking
They could have gonna by if the dad was a stripper
Also why did Blair’s mum change?
also they're all like 16-17 but for some reason they have like no problems getting into bars and drinking martinis
Erling mid they were rich.
and all of them look 25 also
In the beginning of the show they're 16. I thought in US people check ids before giving out alcohol. Especially in fancy bars
The same thing happens in tvd.
I live in NYC and am a NYC private school kid who's gone to elite schools across from Central Park like they do, so trust me when I say a huge chunk of my friends and classmates go in and out of bars and clubbing weekly. It's wild. Everyone either has fakes or is just let in. You'd be surprised how many places in NY don't card
I've just realised now...I never remember the dad having a bedroom
Maybe he just sleep on the couch🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
😂
They never showed his room
They also switched Jenny and Dan’s room around. In the first season Dan’s room was on the left
y’all hatin on serena but vanessa was like the worst character after jenny and blair was the best don’t @ me lol
@k oij I agree but I also love Georgina and Dorota.
What happened to Jenny??
OMG I HATE VANESSA IM SO HAPPY SHE LEFT AFTER SEASON 4
Lizbeth Skiles you like georgina wtf
@k oij what do you have against Serena
But can we all just agree that Eric and Dorota were the only characters that were actually good
Dorota was awesome as well.
Hedvig Møller he was so sweet 🥺
Nate wasn't evil neither
@@rhiannam4895 he is gay, gays are perfect lol
He had less lines so we couldn’t hate him. Serena main character and she might be the worst one.
I rewatched Gossip Girl in my late twenties and realized that everybody’s it girl Serena was indeed a shallow socialite Dan portrayed her in his book. I mean, affair with a politician at 20, not attending college and not even working just living by? The worst was when se tried to defend herself against these accusations and I remember my teen self feeling sorry for her. I am amazed how I loved this character and she annoys me now just because my mindset matured. I guess we do grow up. Still an iconic show though and I still love it and my high school years wouldn’t have been complete without those headbands
trust me, I'm also annoyed with Serena ever since she broke up with Dan (I stopped watching at season 2 bcs i am too annoyed hahah)
THANK YOU. it was alwayssss about serena. she was always the victim and never had to truly take responsibility for anything. also one of the most selfish characters. plus she literally got every single thing handed to her and expects everyone to cater to her. she’s the worst character in my opinion. at least blair worked to earn her queen b status, got good grades, did extra curriculars, put effort into her relationships, etc. if she wanted something she would make a plan and work for it. and when blair was a bitch she always got humiliated or had to pay for her actions in some way. but serena always got off scot free. she just shows up and is given the world. it got old pretty fast.
I'm rewatching this and I'm fifteen and I still realize that.
Thaaaaaaannnnk you. She is the worst, remember when she tried to make Lola her own "cousin" the new it girl, Lola didn't really want that, and Lola saw the opportunities were not that bad after all and then Serena got jealous she lied about Lola and she never apologized. She even got mad at Lola after she tried to expose her as GG even though Lola kept her secret. Everything Dan said about her was true, she literally tried to call the other guy just after reading what Dan said about her dying for men's attention. Every minutes she is with a new guy, I'm not slut shaming her because it wasn't like Chuck who was sleeping around, she fell in love way too easily. Her character was the worst, she ended the show how she started it and maybe even a little bit worse.
@Lachs geräuchert Having an affair at any age makes someone a bad person.
At least gossip girl didn't have a gargoyle king and "the farm" that sells organs. Lol
Farm that sells organs?????

that’s what i always thought about Dan and his family apparently being “poor” like he may live in brooklyn but his apartment is still way too big for supposedly having no money
Well for gossip girl standards he was poor 😂😂
they were not that poor. i mean rufus managed to send them both to a private school these rich kids go to. i mean , that must have cost a lot of money. they were poor if you compare them to the rest of the people who were insanely rich :)
he was upper middle class. he's the son of a retired rock star. he lives in a brooklyn loft instead of a manhattan hotel penthouse. they don't really go out of their way to portray him as "poor" in terms of him not having any money. he's "poor" bc he doesn't have the capital means to lead the same opulent lifestyle as his school peers who are billionaires in comparison. rufus humphrey is probably a millionaire in the show. far more than what the average american has. a million dollars is not a lot of money when it gets down to living in nyc, sending your children to school for the rich elite, and be able to partially finance ivy league educations (there must've been a reason why yale refused to pay for dan's education). it's kinda like the whole great gastby old money v new money fiasco. gatsby, as rich as he was, didn't have enough capital to be "in" with the rest of the elite bc he wasn't the same money they were.
Exactly! Dan's family is waayy more well-off compared to mine. 😭😭😭 They go to a private school, live in that whole-ass apartment, and live very, very comfortably. If they are poor, then I'm BPL! And my family's not even poor. They're lower middle class.

Exactly!
@@Sagacypher Exactly!
Watching Gossip Girl in your twenties makes you see how Dan was right about all of them. Serena and Nate bounced from relationship to relationship including with married men/women and minors. They dropped out of college. The only pairing that had character growth was Blair and Chuck, and even Dan who saw right through them but still ended up marrying Serena at the end which was a total fail on the shows part. Nate and Serena should of ended up together since they are so much alike, and Dan with Vanessa.
nate and serena were both players which bothered me cause i liked them so much but their choice in partners was so whack like nate dated a 16yr old brat and a 40 yr old as well and serena had an affair with a politician and she didnt even realize how messed it was cause he was taken. i really wished the show showed them mature up and they end up together
Lulu Love PERIODT!!! I didn’t like Serena at all but when she manipulated dan to cheat I lost all of my respect for her and for the writers to have him come right back? Oh lord. Vanessa and dan would’ve been so good for eachother and genuinely a nice ending for dan
@@fionaburgos6109 serena was toxic af and what i hated about her was the fact that she never listened to anyone when ppl told her she was messing up but i stills stan her cause blake lively played her so it was hard for me to fully hate her
Daisy Blue ngl I can’t look at Blake Lively the same after watching the show 😔 but really Serena was the rosy out of the bunch; she always got away with everything and she was the definition of a brat. She always played victim and never took responsibility for all the terrible things she did. Dans chapter was 100% correct and it still pains me that they ended up together
Worst*
nobody’s going to mention how dan and serena were dating as siblings and they shared a brother but didn’t find it weird 😖😖

but dan and serena aren’t siblings-
amessychile they are step siblings/ they were when they dated and they share a brother

I'm 20 and the show is just great. Watched it when I was 18
You should! Its so addicting, i remember watching episodes on Netflix and my mom or brother would be in the kitchen overhearing, and 99% of the time the episode got their attention so much they sat down with me to finish the episode
I'm watching it now in Netflix, is actually a good show, I'm a little addicted to it
(Sorry, I'm not sure if i wrote that right, is not my first language)
I LOVE THAT YOU ANIMATE YOURSELF WATCHING THE SHOW WITH POPCORN AND CHARLIE OMG IM LIVING 4 THIS
Camille Hardy Charlie is just too perfect for this world
That’s my favorite part of these videos. It’s so fun!
To be fair, Dan isn't supposed to be real world poor. He's just poor compared to the other characters. I mean, at one point (in the books) Blair's mother buys each of her children their own island just because. That's the level of wealth we're talking about here.
There's a book , well damn 👀
Hazelle yep. At first, she had a younger brother, I think, then her mother got remarried and she got a new stepbrother, Aaron who was like a hippie and who she (or Serena, I can't remember) had a fling with. Her mother later had a baby with her stepfather which is when she bought the private islands.
Victoria Smith there are actually 12 books, plus a spin-off series called the It Girl which follows Jenny's misadventures at boarding school after she's publicly humiliated in NYC. Later there was a second spin-off series set in New York with new characters, the Carlyles after the original group of kids graduated college but that second spin-off was terrible because it was ghostwritten by a different person who felt the need to moralize the characters' actions and show that they were empty and shallow. Duh, I already know that - it doesn't mean I don't want to enjoy the insanity of their lifestyles. Gossip Girl is a fantasy and there's nothing wrong with the occasional brain candy.
Where are there even islands available to *buy?* Off the coast of Antarctica?

i still dont understand how the characters can have endless drinks AT THE BAR while they are still in high school, which technically is illegal for the bar to serve drinks to these minors or whatsoever. there are definitely a lot of questions and flaws and more questions.
Bc they’re rich
noora I think the point is that they’re not just rich, they’re rich beyond imagination. Their families have so much power,l and that’s why they pretty much do what they want.
Maybe bc they don’t look their age?
@noora Actually yes, being rich does get you a free do whatever you want ticket, unfortunately..
Maybe cuz its just a parody of how teenagers act?
I just realised they changed the actress for Blair’s mom for the pilot.
I think I recall liking the new one better
just1desi The only seen the old one in one ep anyways. The older one was ironically really young looking so it didn’t work
Woww. I only now realized they changed the actress who plays blair's mom
That's exactly what I thought of when he showed that scene!
Just started rewatching Gossip Girl again and I told my friend like "I forgot the mom was different in the first episode" and she had NO IDEA lolol
Simply Sookie me too! 😨😨
also every girl in the freaking school has like completely different uniform
in the books they said that the older girls use the same uniform for a long time so it got shorter when they aged, and the school changed the uniform a little later or something like that (years since I read it)
Am I the only one who just realized that Kristen bell is the voice of gossip girl?
Yes
No
Also Kristen bell looks so much like Blair it’s uncanny
She had a cameo in the last episode
Yes
I still feel like Blair is the only character I love, even after rewatching for like the 20th time and I feel like most of that is due to Leighton's acting. Sure, she was super bitchy and mean, but most of that was due to how she was treated in comparison to Serena. Like, the perfect example to this is how Blair literally worked extremely hard academically, but still got waitlisted for Yale, while Serena just got a shoo-in for being her flighty, paparazzi friendly self. Blair was always seen as second best even if she worked extremely hard to get the Queen B position she has. In the books she was literally a caricature of the "perfect, UES Queen", and while the show still kept some of that aspect for her character, I guess they felt fleshing it out more for a television show would have been better (even though I think it's due to the time the show was made as well, like tv teen dramas didn't really have a lot of "umph" in them (lowkey some of them still don't), I feel like a literal satire, like the books intended, would be better achieved now)
Zapper1011 Same. And she wasn’t a backstabbing bitch. Most of the times she used to own up to her Shit. She was really hardworking and very passionate about her professional life which was the main reason why I liked her. Whereas Serena was just a hot mess, she was all over the place, didn’t knew Shit but still somehow got into the best college, like what?😂 Moreover she was more shady than blair and backstabbing too.
Zapper1011 agree. I love Blair, she seems realistic.
Literally Blair is the only realistic and genuine character. She went through her dad leaving,her best friend cheating with her boyfriend, an eating disorder, constantly being second best, not getting into her dream college, her mum remarrying and loads of drama with chuck yet she still remained the same person
I love Blair so much.
@isa: ´HAD’ a good heart. Honestly i have been rewatching the show and Serena is losing it really in the last seasons. All I could think of was 'Girl why are you lying to everyone, always hurting others, always thinking about yourself?' Also Serena had maybe this sad situation with her father, but that is nothing compared to what Blair endured. Blair had this constan t pressure of her mother's succesful career, her parents got divorced because her father was gay, and her father ends up with one of her mother's models? And he goes away to live in France? Serena never knew her father, so i can understand the daddy issues, but that is about all that i can understand from her behaviour. She does not have such a good heart in the end. At least not a better heart than Blair (who obviously also i a very childish bitch sometimes)
6:10 - 6:15 riverdale's Veronica drinking vodka or something for breakfast at like 7 am in the morning lol

Darota was the most underrated character. I mean she was so funny and her comments when blair would want to her about an arguement she has had.
"9 years ago is basically ancient egypt" omfg i love it
Anyone else realised Blair’s mum changes ?
She exchanged her for a new one.
Blair has a line in the pilot about how her Mom got plastic surgery after the divorce. I always imagined the second Elenor was just how she looked after.
Farah Ellin yeahh
I watched gossip girl (not all seasons though because I got tired after season 4 or 5) many years ago and I didn't remember that they changed the actor... I watched this video now and I was thinking that this mother looked weird from what I remembered lol
Me rn
You should do an episode on Once Upon a Time. The first season is good but it goes down after the Peter Pan Arc.
strawberry queen yes after Peter pan and the wicked witch it went to complete shit and then frozen came in and some how it got worse
Always had a problem with the premise though :/ Like having these fairy tales characters transported to our current world is a nice concept, but this being a curse ? this being the great revenge Regina's gonna get ? Meh :/
It would've been better if the show looked a bit more like the wolf among us/fables, if they really showed how going from a fairy tale wolrd to our world destroyed some of those characters life.
Because for the most part it just look inconvenient. Not really the kind of thing a curse/revenge plot is supposed to be. And Regina is like rather nice with the people she cursed. I'd expect her to be a lot meaner than what she is in the show.
Captain Awesome yeah I never understood why she would want to just live with them for 40 years if she hated them so much
Yeah when I first watch the show I remember thinking "wait that's it ?" I mean jesus christ she had to kill the last person she cared about to use that "curse". You can't go that far for a result that weak. It's like if after killing the younglings, killing Mace Windu and killing the separatist you'd learn that Anakin did all that so he'd could learn the power to regrow his hand. You might be trying too much if that's what you end up getting.
My brother and I love that show! 😂

2:05 Dan's dad looks the same age as him, if not younger.
Lol
Vegeta is My dad so the actors are only sixteen years apart lol that’s why dans dad looked so young
Hate on me all you want, Dan should’ve come full circle after revealing he’s gossip girl and go back to being no one. Just all that work for nothing. Also gives a great moral lesson that we shouldn’t try to fit in or change ourselves for others. Brilliant
I love this alternative ending
Nah he turned out to be a psycho weirdo who stares at random girls without their knowledge until he kills them
Morality, upper east siders? I heavily disagree. They all lived for the drama in their lives, were treated and wanted to be treated like they were SUPERIOR to economically less privileged kids. They all did awful a lot of things, and got away with it, like sleeping with married people, sa’ing people with zero SERIOUS consequences like, really, a punch is not enough; bullying, sabotaging people’s future, marrying someone you don’t love and making them sacrifice and compromise a lot for themselves…list goes on. He, who was treated like a nobody, was at the end of the day, married to his crush, a powerful writer in the upper east side, preferably even more useful than her wife, and literally connected to powerful people. He was the actual holy GG and got away with it. The most impressive character in the show, admit it or not.
I just realized they changed Blair's mom
Literally the scene came up rn and I was like why does she look different 💀💀💀💀
Nobody does brunch like Gossip Girl.
Or Thanksgiving
also blairs voice changed so much from season 1 to 6! like in the final seasons its so nasally and girly and almost baby, and in the first season its low and sexy and almost... normal... so weird to see blair grow into her character .. Serena stayed constant throughout the whole thing...
beautyhearts23 I love this show but I noticed that..
i love the show too!
Letting her dad kill her mother is constant? Wow.
beautyhearts23 blair changed into leighton. thats what happened. the actors stopped putting in effort. they’re basically being themselves reading dialogues
Serena didn’t change at all! She stayed the same. Bounced from relationship to relationship and still ended up with Dan at the end though he wrote all those terrible things about her (which were true) and was GG. So unrealistic. She should of ended up with Nate in the end and Dan with Vanessa.
I’m watching the 4th season of Gossip Girl as I am writing this. Serena is THE mean girl of this series. She always wants the spotlight to be on her but at the same Time pretends to be a Nice person (or a better person than the others) while B is 100% herself. What she did to Blair and Louis js scandalous 🙌🏼
You should do supernatural, i know its my favorite show but i would love to see you cover it
Hannah Beynon I SECOND THAT
Zainab-Yandere•-• I third that
Hannah Beynon I honestly think Supernatural was a lot better during it's earlier seasons. The show got weird after season 4 because this was around the time the original writer died. the show could have easily ended if you shave off the last few seconds of the season 5 finale because that's where the original writer wanted the show to end (it was supposed to be a 5 season show and it really shows). but that's just my opinion. I'm not saying you should stop liking it. if you like it then continue to love it :)
Ricardo Contreras I definitely agree with you, the show was weird and a mess after the 4/5 season. I mean season 12 was just weird, but I mean I still and will always love the show, and I mean season 13 is looking pretty good
I'm livid you didn't mention the obsession everyone had with Serena, it was so infuriating, every fucking episode there was another person in love with her... Blair was much more beautiful.
Breen WR Same 😫
Breen WR exactly! Not to be mean, but I always thought Blair was sooo much more beautiful than Serena.
@@truebeautyj6165 true but I think people fell in love with Serena for her personality. Keep it real as beautiful as Blair was she had a disgusting personality.
I was interested in hearing a guys perspective on this because I’ve always thought the same thing! My boyfriend said Blair has a prettier face but is too upitty and prissy and that’s a turn off, while Serena has that down to earth cool girl vibe and overall looks sexy. Like she has the whole package. Even if her face isn’t technically as pretty. At the end of the day she’s still a tanned, tall, blonde, thin hot girl and lower maintenance than Blair. So overall more attractive to guys.
But I agree. I always thought Blair was the better looking one (I think most girls agree), and despite being scheming and insecure was always a loyal friend to Serena while Serena would just desert her and galavant off with some new guy in a second if she got the chance. Plus Blair worked harder for things while Serena got handouts essentially.
There was a lot about Serena’s personality in the later seasons I didn’t like either. She went from being a humble soul who just wanted to live a normal life to a girl who knew exactly where her high profile name and good looks could get her and made no effort to retain any humility. In a way New York made her toxic, as it did to most people in the series.
I think the entire show highlighted how much of a dog fight that high society elitist world can be and how it can corrupt the wholesomeness in you.
Juliette Kratochvil wow,you really nailed it !

What's wrong with Glee? 🤔
YESSS
glee is gold for two seasons then it becomes trash
I watched the show at 15 and then recently again at 20, the way I see it now is so different. I used to look up to Blair and think she was amazing but really her character development was really slow and she ruined her life multiple times by scheming so much when she let it go. I used to hate Jenny towards the end but now I feel for her, I can see the things that sucked her in and the mistakes she made were real, that scene after she sleeps with chuck and she’s crying always really gets to me. Not a single character faced the repercussions of their mistakes like Jenny.
Blair didn’t even have character development she was still a bully when the show ended 🤣🤣
Idk im still salty about who gossip girl was and how the finale didn't end w SerenaxNate (the show gave me more reasons to end up hating Dan's character development AND his sister - basically all the Humphrey's when I used to like them the most 🤦)
Rufus is the best Humphrey
Saga no because he dated ivy so hell nah
I was over them and serena's family (expect Eric) by season 3 like how can you put them together after their parents get married, share a brother and cheating? With multiple other issues. Dan was just too whiny for me and Jenny just turned to a bitch who took no responsibility. Serena was continually a spoilt brat
same i ship nate and serena
Switching it up from DEVIL'S TANGO to SATAN'S MAMBO. Loving it!!
2 attempted rapes in the first episode, but it's so much tamer than most other shows. I love GG btw
Wait, seriously
Oof... Serena and Jenny on the pilot really cemented Chuck's character 😅
Tbh i hated it when serena and dan were still "dating" or flirting with each other when they were STEP SIBLINGS
Not gonna lie, kind of fan girled when I saw that Alex made a new video
Billy K same
I think we all did 😂
I did too lol
Same here
Billy K a girl named billy????? Seems legit
omg i didnt even notice they changed her mum
Dan is not really poor. But compared to the uber rich Constance boys/girls, sure he looks like a poor.
Yeah, exactly. The UES is no place for his financial standing
Roxana Marcela E. Yes he is, his dad struggles at a art gallery and his mom ran away to become an artist, so yeah.
Random Nobody m8 they go to boarding school own a three bedroom loft Rufus doesn’t really actually work can live on a single income
my hatred for dan really knows no bounds...the whole pick me boy attitude in the first half of the show and then "tortured" hypocrite artist thing in the later seasons was always ridiculous tbh
all that and still a way better person than chuck
That and also manipulating all of them so he can enter the society while pretending to be the most morally correct character of them all.
I thought I was the only one who unironically watched gossip girl and loved it.
Glad I'm not the only one who got ADDICTED to this show when they first saw it. It's still ridiculous, but I couldn't stop watching.
Omg... gossip girl came out 11 years ago
I think it’s interesting how Gossip Girl introduces Dan to her readers the same way the writers/camera introduces him to the viewing audience. The audience is also a reader of gossip girl!
*_I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO FOR SO LONG 😑😑_*
Selma Marega same!!
me too!
xoxo
me three
idc tho I STILL LOVE GOSSIP GIRL
Dizney same
same
Same
Still one of the best shows 😎😂 Pilot episode was really dumb tho
SaMe
Gossip Girl is show about overprivileged, spoiled, over the top, and sometimes highly annoying white teens ......and I love every minute of it. Lmao, mainly it’s mostly because Chuck and Blair
Cairo Williams So true. It was classic teen soap opera trash but sometimes that’s just what you need. Like a fairy tale but the grim ones you enjoy but would never want actually live through yourself. It’s a romanticized Hollywood version of a society and an NYC that most of us will never know IRL. And I’m a-ok with that.
By the end of the show I couldn’t stand Dan, Jenny or Serena and instead Chuck and Blair’s complicated romance and personal issues were the most compelling storyline. I legit was only watching for those two after season 2.
3 inconsistencies I'm now seeing in the pilot episode vs. the rest of the show:
1. Nate and Chuck taking the bus to school.
2. A different actress playing Blair's mother.
3. Jenny acting surprised that Dan even reads Gossip Girl, when the finale reveals that she knew that he himself was GG the whole time.
Bro i know i was not supposed to read it before finishing it. Wdym DAN is the GG? How is that even possible
Dan even being gossip girl is a inconsistency
didn't they explain that Jenny found out about GG later on?

My boyfriend got me into gossip girl last year, we both missed the bandwagon and just didn't get into it when everyone else did and we watched every episode from the start until the end together, it was the reason I came over to his house and met his parents for the first time because we wanted to watch it aha, now well over a year later we're still together, happy, and have finished it all aha
Get you a boy that wants to watch a “chick” show with you. Honestly that is so cute :3
So cute I hope your relationship lasts!
jackie aw thanks lovely aha x
pip pop Thankyou ❤️
aha
I will say this: I actually read the entire book series, and the way the show frames these characters is completely different than the books. In the books, it’s established that Serena is flighty and doesn’t know what she wants, and often ends up hurting people because of it. Nate is a stoner with no direction in life, who never really pursues women, so much as lets them fall into his lap, and responds with “... Sure.” And Blaire is a terrible person. She’s spoiled, vain and insecure. She wants to be just like Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, but doesn’t give a thought to doing any of the humanitarian work or real life actions of Audrey. She is surface level, and the reader is made to laugh at her stupidity and suffering. Even Dan doesn’t leave unscathed. He’s a fake deep artist, typical “nice guy”, who ends up doing the same terrible shit as the other characters.
This may have gone on too long, but it just bothers me how this show was misconstrued into a typical teen drama, when in reality, it could have been a kind of funny satire commentary on the lives of young privilege kids.
... And I loved pretending I was rich and hot in middle school 😶
Agreed I never got into the show because I hated how they changed the characters but my mom was all about it
Then I’m glad they switched up the characters to have more substance because growing up to watch a show with more than four seasons of pure nothing is not that appealing
Deannie Weenie that last part... yesssss
But there’s no Chuck and Blair in the books 😩😩😩
Stefan Makara Yup sounds about right 👍🏽
Okay but Chuck and Blair will always be my favourite couple ever
Oh Come on. The guy literally traded her for a fucking hotel and tried to rape two girls
Shivam Kakkar Oh come on. Literally no one is innocent in that show, everyone did fucked up stuff. He owned up to his mistakes. Chuck and Blair grew up and ended being perfect in the end regardless of what they had done in the past.
zmvk_ 00 I don’t think anyone else tried to rape anybody but go off.
I love them but they were TOXIC af
Ikr the whole “just say that you love me” thing drove me NUTS
I think Gossip girl is one of the the best TV dramas ever. It's just really well written. Even though each character has a gimmick (Dan is the poor boy underdog, Blair is the bitchy fashionista, Jenny is the edgy outsider who really wants to be an insider, chuck is the player, Nate is the nice rich boy, and Serena is where all the secrets and or twists come from), their interactions and chemistry are all really well written and the whole show has this air of fantasy and "this could never be reality". The high schoolers sitting at a bar drinking martinis is what always did it in for me. It's so incredibly captivating and extra and over the top. God I miss this show, it's time to rewatch it
Well, grilled cheese sandwiches really can fix a bad day. Or just any day.
The Queen Of Chaos *** Amen to that
The Queen Of Chaos *** Tru dat
I still hate Dan and wish Serena and Nate ended up together 🤷
Hannah Johnson SIS ARE YOU ON CRACK?HE WAS SWEET,CARING,ACTUALLY HAD A PERSONALITY,FUNNY,EDUCATED WHILE NATE WAS JUST ONE OF THOSE RICH KIDS,PERIODT?
@@uhhidkk i mean nate and serena deserve each other, Dan is a little obsessive to serena. Don't get me wrong, dan have a better personality, but after all he is the gossip girl and he's such a creep by posting everyone's secrets and plus he added himself to gossip girl
I hated dan from the very start I also wish Serena and Nate had ended up together but I didn’t like Serena
Elena XoXo DANS JUST CREEPY. He made everything about him and acted as if serena was doing the wrong to him. He is also a creep, stalked serena 🤷🏻♀️
Finally someone who gets I hated dan so muchhhhh
I watched it a couple of times but always stopped around season 3/4 because the fact that Rufus & Lily never worked out broke my heart
Meloseduction same it’s too painful
they should have never broken up Rufus and Lily, it wouldve been just fine with them still married.
I don’t mind it at all. I HATED Lily. Her only redeemable quality was her adoption of Chuck
I dont get the school's uniform policy.... its a mish mash of uniform and whatever clothes they want! When i was at school we couldn't even have coloured hair clips!
The only colors acceptable are the ones in the school uniform.
My school has white and dark blue, so only white and blue clips are allowed
Gossip girl has so many toxic relationships.. both romantic and otherwise... but for some reason I still love and have watched it over and over again for over like 5 times 🤷♀️
we do definitely need more contemporary shows like it.. those teen dramas were all the rage now everything has to be a gimmick or like action or something like just bring back bitchiness and social stuff
cosmo naut Riverdale, On my Block, 13 Reasons, Skins, Pretty Little Liars....granted some of those are a bit darker than Gossip Girl but they still have that ‘bitchiness’ and ‘social’ stuff you want, keep in mind not every show can be the same though :/ if you want the same you may as well wish for a Gossip Girl spinoff.

Ikr.. Gossip Girl stopped making sense from Episode 4, Season 1
YES! I couldn't watch it after season 4.
season 5 is really good
Yes!
The turn Dan into full evi in Season 6 to make hin Gossip Girl.
Barts Return and Lily who wants be with him make also no sense ...
