Lemony Snicket, looking as if he was about to cry at any moment: "Some people smile at the end of the day" Count Olaf, not really there, pensively looking at his reflection in the mirror: "Some people laugh, I suppose" Mr. Poe, genuinely having fun as he sings along: "But to me, there's nothing but gloom and despair" That contrast xd

Daniel Handler has coleborated with the writters. And unlike traditional in-studio writting rooms, they worked at Daniel's home, and he cooked meals for them. It was a unique experience for Handler, and it spoiled him, as he's afraid he wouldn't be able to do it any other way in possible future projects.
I'd say it's more that he's completely oblivious as to what the song actually means. Mr. Poe may be mind- bendingly incompetent and have no clue about things right in front of him, but I wouldn't call him intentionally apathetic.
I wouldn't say that... Often in the books he's shown to care about them ( at the end of the third book he hugged them as an example , he allowed them to live in his house at the beginning... Even bought clothes for them when he wasn't forced too ). Even in the series. He's just completely oblivious to everything that is happening. Ironically he's the most naive character of the series ( either in the book / series or moovie ). And that's quite hilarious considering he's working in a bank and is supposed to be very clever and careful about everything..... which he isn't of course... lol.
I love how they handled his character. They exsplained why he was and did what he did. But in a way to say yes he's still a villain, but he's also human.
"Seeing in black and white" is a way of saying that a person looks at the world in a manner that is oversimplified and often incorrect. Like many newspaper, the daily punctilio is printed in black and white, and its look at the world is oversimplified and often incorrect
It’s official this is my favorite Netflix series Reasons: This show is different, it is a piece of artwork. They planned all 3 reasons from start. There are so many clues and the parent plot from the season1 tricked even some of the book readers
@@youn820 some viewers who haven't read/don't know much about the books might not know just how involved he was. He was listed not only under 'Lemony Snicket', but also under his real name in a lot of production roles, meaning he was much more involved than just a few tips here and there.
I always liked Lemony Snicket’s interpretation of adults in A Series of Unfortunate Events. The majority were oblivious to the Baudelaire’s claims of Count Olaf and they went ignored, thinking it was the wild imagination of children. They believed what they saw on the surface rather than looking at the signs and bad acting. The bad adults in the book exploited this, using fear and influence to make their misdeeds go unnoticed or played down. The good adults who listened and believed the Baudelaire’s were typically ignored by the other adults, didn’t have enough power to stop anything, or they were too passive to speak up to those higher than them.
As a kid reading them, it kind of radicalises you to how blind grown ups can be and how they'd rather believe their own shortsighted and shallow interpretation of something
I didn't notice that also in the episode after the song he turned the radio off then said " that is nice" WHAT!!! How is the song mice it is sad like dude
@@tundranone8366 It's also because he is the only major character who makes it through the first season better than where they started. Spoilers obviously. The Baudelaires have lost nearly everything Monty and Josephine die because of their involvement with the Orphans Sir is overthrown by rioting workers at his lumbermill, and Charles leaves searching in vain for his partner. The Parents turned out to be the Quagmire parents, and are also dead now. Several VFD agents are either killed off by Olaf and his troupe, or barely manage to stay a few steps ahead of him. Count Olaf is no closer to the fortune, but is now a wanted man and his theater career is gone as a result. Aaaand Mr Poe not only ultimatly suffers no consequences for his numerous screw ups, but actually gets promoted to Head of Orphan Affairs.
As someone who grew up on the books I was super impressed with this series. Obviously some creative liberties were taken but it does the books credit..I love how they break the 4th wall.
@@goatmom2980 they'll make a joke in season 4 referencing something said in season 1...just like the books. this generation/ era has zero attention span so this is the main reason it wasnt bigger. it deserved better
i just remember "Lemony Snicket's" writing in the books, and how much of a mindf**k it was when he wrote about deja vu, and the very next page was an exact copy and paste of the last page, visiually showing deja vu.
@@asdasd-rp9hx “this generation” You realize gen z was around when these books were coming out, right? Unless you’re talking about gen alpha, who at the oldest were about seven when this show came out. Also, how are you gauging popularity? Netflix doesn’t release view count data. Are you just pulling a “get off my lawn, whippersnappers?”
Love how the rhyme scheme changes in the last verse, and the final line is cut off with a cough reinforcing how these kids never get any closure! Brilliant!
They probably will in season 3 if season 3 follows the end of the books correctly where count Olaf eventually dies at least they won't have him chasing after them anymore.
I love Mr. Poe in this. Everyone else is sad while they sing it, even Count Olaf (heck, the Baudelaires are near-catatonic), but he's smiling and bouncing with the music, even as he sings words like, "but to me there's nothing but gloom and despair". And the very emotional number ends with him happily turning off the music as if it's just some radio song, oblivious to the suffering around him. It really hits home how little the world cares about these people.
Haha I know. It perfectly represents how Mr. Poe is completely oblivious in what the Baudelaires are going through, and it's just so PERFECTLY Mr. Poe.
If I see people hate NPH, go f*** themselves. He's a great actor. He's legen...wait for it, and I hope you're not lactose intolerant because the second half of that word is...dary. Legendary!
I love more how his wife is always happy when something bad happens. Like, he was smiling when taking the pictures of a burned corpse. That's pretty fucked up
I don't know how to feel about Poe in this series I don't remember how he was in the books or movie but I remember never questioning if he was dropped on his head as a baby it's the lines like the one about Stephano he says in wide window he just seems dumber than usual here
Mr Critical I think in the books he was a little more likable. He's super oblivious in both but to me it seems that in the books he cared a little more about the orphans. Basically I remember only slightly disliking Mr. Poe in the books but I despise him in the Netflix series.
This song is perfect for the series. Not only are the lyrics fitting, which are mostly depressing but some parts humorous(ill-fitting pants), but also each of the singers and the tone they are singing in. You can tell that Lemony and the children are depressing from everything that's happened, that Count Olaf is sad but because he's not winning, and that Mr. Poe is mostly ignorant of how bad things truly are. It's a great way to end the season.
Noticed something that really gets to me here: Lemony talks about how he loved Beatrice, but all he says of her feelings is that she "thought well of" him. How heartbreaking is it that he has such a low opinion of himself, he doesn't think the love of his life felt the same way about him? I know, some of you might feel that I am overthinking it.
He adores her it’s so sad, his feelings never died and he still thinks of her constantly. He’s in constant agony over the loss of his love. I can’t even imagine what it must be like to rely on someone and love them that much for them to meet such a sudden and horrible death. I really love Snickets character and it’s so cute how much he talks about her, he’s so easy to sympathise with.
Well it makes sense why she couldn't marry him... But I think it's so interesting how Beatrice Baudelaire writes a whole BOOK to answer an almost simple question...
If you find the Beatrice Letters, there is an almost 4-page segment of one them where every sentence starts with “I love you like/as” and it’s just simile upon Snicket-y simile describing how much he loves her and it’s really sweet. And really heartbreaking.
Poe is able to enjoy the melody by ignoring all the misery around him. Olaf is singing about the world as uncomfortable pants, explaining his discomfort and will to wear and hence bend the world to his will. And Lemony seems a bit obsessed by the past. Very telling of their characters.
1:02 Not enough people talk about this part, but I feel particularly bad the way he says "But now I'm alone as you can now see, she's cold in her grave forever", he really lost everything, or so it seemed, he had his siblings but then they also died, at least the baudelaire children had each other.
XD he broke your heart I mean like he laughs too right? He laughs at the Baudilares doesnt he? When they fall into his clutches again, and again... and again....? And again?? But its cool how he never gives up, tho.
Miss Muffet he fake laughs. He wants to hide his sorrow from all the terrible things that have happened to him. It’s his evil coping laugh, with his real laughs and joy are buried in this husk of a man.
JelloApocalypse What I want to know is how they are going to fit two children in a fountain and how they will make the submarine work. But I'm curious on how they can portray Eśme as well.
If I remember correctly, wasn't Esme not a part of V.F.D. until Olaf recruited her? It's been years since I read The Ersatz Elevator, so I could be wrong.
When I heard Lemony Snicket start singing at the end of the last episode I was worried it would be cheesy and horrible but this was really an amazing song, and I wish there were a longer version
when this was reprised in “Penultimate Peril: Part 2”, showing everything that happened on the Baudelaire’s journey from when they first met Olaf. My heart just went into pieces💔 it was such an unfortunate experience x
The reason I love this show is the fact that you can learn a new word or two every episode and still get to hear some nonsensical things and be perfectly fine with it.
I thought K. Todd Freeman's Mr. Poe was absolutely brilliant! I love how oblivious he is to everything. It takes a special kind of talent to make everyone hate your character more than the main antagonist.
I just now realized, after listening to the song so many times, that each of the singers actually convey the emotion their character is feeling at that moment. I only heard that once I listened to the song without watching the video. Lemony is matter-of-fact with a hint of regret. Olaf is sinister with a hint of glee. Poe is happy and oblivious. Klaus has almost given up. Violet is holding back tears. At one point you can even hear her voice almost go into crying, just to be picked back up slightly again. Sunny is angry and sinister at the same time, which you can hear even if it's only whistling.
The series was so fucking perfect in every way. I was mad at first because the parents were alive, but yeah, then I realized. This song is awesome, the quagmires are perfect, when this guy (can'trember his name) is playing the violin, it's just all perfect. I can't wait for VFD, and who am I kidding, Carmelita Spats and Esmé Squalor.
Honestly... Count Olaf's parts in this song as well as the Baudelaire children's parts give me goosebumps every time. I have to blast the audio in my headphones because I like it so much.
Who else kind of grew fond of Olaf towards the end as his hurt started to show and he was slowly slowly left alone? and when he died it was actually painful. and the feeling that .. that finally, this is it, this is the end for real.. the whole series was chaotic and confusing an left so many questions.. and i was so invested. like damn, this is really it. i don't know how to act anymore..
@@possums154 you was thinking like this because Olaf was representing only from his better sides and didn't kill anyone ( why?) at the end of the series. Honestly, i felt the same when he died, but remembering that he twice almost killed Sunny(!!!), ruthlessly hited to death J.S.(bare hands, just imagine that, omg!!!) my compassion for him disappeared instantly
Wait what?????? I remember watching this series a long time ago and I think I got the season 2 I think that I like some kind of junkyard or something and the two people that were like looking for them like going to open the gate and the children were too but it turned out that they were like two different places or something like that
well, if he didn`t, count olaf would just appear in disguise and the children would honestly not know who he is, and the guardian`s life would just be easier to end
Not exactly, mr Poe was an idiot, but the cards were stacked against the Baudelaires. (Spoilers my dear volunteers) the high court was in control of the fire starting side, all vfd members were falling left and right, and well, the Baudelaires just had their bad luck
Spoilers (even for people watching Netflix series, until season 3 comes out) Notice how Count Olaf himself that there is no happy ending, not even for him, and how it is all sorrows and woes, saying he himself suffered through this And because there is no happy ending for anyone, not even Olaf, it predicts his sad demise
Leah and Kenzie Does well she can also use her teeth to sand a rock the size of her head into a perfect skipping stone, so by that point they might already be accustomed to having their sister be the equivalent of Jesus 🙃
This song, and indeed, this whole series, is about the beauty of sadness. Life is hardly ever perfect. Like The Rolling Stones said, you can't always get what you want. But in spite of all their hardships, the Baudelaires are still here. And in spite of all of ours, so are we.
NPH's acting here is interesting for a couple of reasons. He seems simultaneously pleased that evil will prevail, while also sad and bitter. Almost as though Count Olaf was once hopeful, kind, and inventive like the children, but the unfortunate events in his life made him believe that the only way to win was to become evil.
Dr. Horrible: "There's not happy ending. So they say. Well not for me anyway". Count Olaf: "There's no happy endings not here and not now. This tale is all sorrows and woes."
Lyrics, which can also be found by turning on the captions: You may think that the Baudelaires ought to prevail, and be tucked some place all safe and sound. Count Olaf captured and rotting in jail, his henchpeople nowhere around. But there’s no happy endings, not here and not now, this tale is all sorrows and woes. You may dream that justice and peace win the day, but that’s not how the story goes. You might think that two parents, both brave and both true, would live till a nice ripe old age, but I’m sad to say I have bad news for you, the curtain rings down on the stage. Yes there’s no happy endings, not here and not now, this tale is all sorrows and woes. You might dream that justice and peace win the day, but that’s not how the story goes. I once loved a girl, and she thought well of me, we thought we’d be happy together, but now I’m alone as you can well see, she’s cold in her grave forever. There’s no happy endings, not here and not now, this tale is all sorrows and woes. You might dream that justice and peace win the day, but that’s not how the story goes. The world is a pair of ill-fitting pants, and other dire, hideous clothes. You might think that three children would lead pleasant lives, but that’s not how the story goes. Some people smile at the end of the day. Some people laugh I suppose. But to me there is nothing but gloom and despair, that’s just how the story goes. That’s just how the story goes!
Not really exactly like the books, since the show is mostly humorous and self-aware rather than depressing. Kind of wish the tone of this song was present more often in the show itself, but it really only had a few sad moments (like the Quagmires reveal)
Count Olaf's first verse can also be a reference to the murder of his parents. His second verse the feeling he has to be the villain and put on a disguise of such. His third verse how he suffers with grief, a false cheerful facade
@@cookingwiththecomrades5576 WAIT IS THAT TRUE I HAVENT FINISHED THE SERIES WTF WHYYY WHY DIDNT ANY OF YOU PUT A SPOILER WARNING FIRST AND YES I AM ACTUALLY MAD ABOUT THIS
Despite all the warnings from Snicket in every episode, I took it humorously and greatly enjoyed the show as a comedy. But this came up, and it actually WAS depressing. The music, the characters' attitude... it's like after constantly moving from adventure to adventure, they all take some time to really contemplate the miserable situation they're in, and the fact that it's far from over each with his own reaction. Snicket is like "Still hoping ? Didn't I warn you ? Well, you asked for it". And he can tell from experience, since he also suffered greatly. Olaf is not all planning and maniacally laughing like he seemed prone to do during the whole season. He's actually quietly thinking while having a drink, like he just came back from an exhausting job. He's also displaying a cynical point of view, typical of people who themselves have no more hope because of everything they went through. This is one of the biggest hints of his deeper nature, despite not revealing anything. The orphans are just... resigned. They know their life is shit, and that it will not improve, and they accepted it and silently wait for the next unfortunate event. And Mr Poe, the only friend they have, who could actually do something... doesn't give a crap.
Count Olaf actually has such a good voice when singing, I know the it’s the person acting but still, it feels different when you are viewing him as Count Olaf
+3.14 Dragon yup olaf lost his parents to the baudelaires and has felt like he has had to steal and scavenge his way through his life even while in vfd he never felt like he belonged unless around kit
Its never CONFIRMED the Baudilairs killed his parents, and hes still a horrible person, but when even the horrible evil villain is a tragic figure, well... You've got yourself a series for the ages.
Initially felt awkward when Patrick Warburton started singing out of nowhere. but then the song and lyrics just seeped into my soul. Awesome end to a great season. I'm reminded of the series 1 finale of Skins when the cast burst into a depressing performance of Wild World out of nowhere, but it ended up hauntingly beautiful and a perfect end to the series.
Walt Manasse-Latham saaaaaammmmeee When I have earbuds and my teachers allow me to listen to music I listen to this song and everyone always goes like "What the heck are you listening to?" And I'm all like "NOTHING!!!!!!" and I close my Chromebook and finish my work.
I lost my father when i was 12, a few days before this series was released. Looking back now, i realize how much it helped me to cope with reality. It shouldn't happen, but sometimes children lose their parents. It shouldn't happen, but sometimes happy families get destroyed. You have to keep living through this cruel reality
i said that when it came out and i wasn't even finished with the 6th episode... The question we all should be asking is: WHERE IS SEASON 2!!!???!??!?!?!?
When I first watched the show, I was still reading the books. I would read a book and then watch the two episodes for the books while waiting for the next book to be available in the library. When I got to The End, I wanted to cry, but couldn't because I had read the end to The End literally the same day, so there was no point in crying from watching the end of The End when I already cried from reading the end of The End. THE END
2020 anyone? I’ve watched this series so many times but I just can’t let go of the story. I absolutely love everything about it but for some reason there are just things that I can’t stop thinking about. 💕

That thing about children's books is true. The Captain Underpants Movie is one of the best movies I've ever seen.
The fact that Poe's smiling while singing this shows how he doesn't actually care about the children. It's chilling.
I'd say it's more that he's completely oblivious as to what the song actually means.
Mr. Poe may be mind- bendingly incompetent and have no clue about things right in front of him, but I wouldn't call him intentionally apathetic.

The good adults who listened and believed the Baudelaire’s were typically ignored by the other adults, didn’t have enough power to stop anything, or they were too passive to speak up to those higher than them.

Anyone else want a musical based on Lemony Snicket now?
YES!
JoyStar They could easily just use the songs from this show and write some new ones
They could also use the songs that would play before the audiobooks
+Carlisle the Cinephile There were songs before the audiobooks?! Dang, that's awesome! Feels like I missed out reading the books though. XD

heck ya
Sunny is very cute

I would watch that
UWU
Literally the only time you get to see count Olaf vulnerable and see how broken he is
Season 3
Last ep of s3
And s3 in general
He is not evil .... just broken 💔
He is broken indeed but as a child of someone like Olaf... absolute have empathy but don’t deny the pain they caused
I really appreciate that everyone is singing it, even Olaf. Everyone’s a victim, everyone’s tales an injustice or wrong that can’t be righted
i love your pfp
And then there's Mr. Poe
@iiiiitsmagreta1240 who is privileged and worse, doesn't care about the trauma of others.
@@ItCameFromTheSkyBeLoI think he does a little bit he's just too dimwitted to do anything about it
I love how everyone seems sad but Poe sings these depressing lyrics so jovially like it's a pop song on the radio
Cuz that's how it's written lol he is literally singing along to a song on the radio
That is exactly what the creators of the show were going for.
I didn't notice that also in the episode after the song he turned the radio off then said " that is nice" WHAT!!! How is the song mice it is sad like dude
Really speaks to how disconnected he is from the situation.
@@tundranone8366 It's also because he is the only major character who makes it through the first season better than where they started. Spoilers obviously.
The Baudelaires have lost nearly everything
Monty and Josephine die because of their involvement with the Orphans
Sir is overthrown by rioting workers at his lumbermill, and Charles leaves searching in vain for his partner.
The Parents turned out to be the Quagmire parents, and are also dead now.
Several VFD agents are either killed off by Olaf and his troupe, or barely manage to stay a few steps ahead of him.
Count Olaf is no closer to the fortune, but is now a wanted man and his theater career is gone as a result.
Aaaand Mr Poe not only ultimatly suffers no consequences for his numerous screw ups, but actually gets promoted to Head of Orphan Affairs.
I love that Mr. Poe is the only one singing happily. He can never accurately read the mood of anything.
True
Did anyone else just finish watching the third season and wants to cry with me?
Yeah, I did. And the reprise of this song was the point where I finally broke down.
the last episode was horrible in my opinion. but the test was awesome and i kind of love olaf 😬

@@asdasd-rp9hx “this generation” You realize gen z was around when these books were coming out, right? Unless you’re talking about gen alpha, who at the oldest were about seven when this show came out. Also, how are you gauging popularity? Netflix doesn’t release view count data. Are you just pulling a “get off my lawn, whippersnappers?”
Love how the rhyme scheme changes in the last verse, and the final line is cut off with a cough reinforcing how these kids never get any closure! Brilliant!
NerdSync i love how sonny whistles. It looks so funny
They probably will in season 3 if season 3 follows the end of the books correctly where count Olaf eventually dies at least they won't have him chasing after them anymore.
Megan McKnight Fuck me spoiler alert hahaha. Rip
Max Wetteland:I said if because the tv series does change things up from the books so tv show wise nobody knows count Olaf’s fate
Megan McKnight They aren’t gonna change it, they haven’t changed any major plot points so far. You’re a jerk for spoiling it for this guy.
The ending of Season 3 had me in tears and watching this.....wow this is ah no my eyes are watering now.
*GENERAL GRIEVOUS* OMG YES, I was in my car watching the last three episodes and i was crying knowing that it's the end
I previously thought that the best endings for a show were the office and parks and recreation
BUT I WAS DEAD WRONG
I have watched this show since the start and I now consider it the best show...I.M.O...of all time
J Bobko The Office ending is so much better. This show kind of went crazy in the last 2 episodes
I love Mr. Poe in this. Everyone else is sad while they sing it, even Count Olaf (heck, the Baudelaires are near-catatonic), but he's smiling and bouncing with the music, even as he sings words like, "but to me there's nothing but gloom and despair". And the very emotional number ends with him happily turning off the music as if it's just some radio song, oblivious to the suffering around him. It really hits home how little the world cares about these people.
Haha I know. It perfectly represents how Mr. Poe is completely oblivious in what the Baudelaires are going through, and it's just so PERFECTLY Mr. Poe.
And how oblivious and dumb and cheerful most of the adults are.
except uncle monty. I was so sad when he was ended.
And like someone else said, the cough at the end represents the Baudelaires' lack of closure.
Mr. Poe is a fucking dumbass
Anyone appreciate how good Olaf’s actor actually is
Yes he is known as the guy who can do a million different things
Well not exactly that but most of the time something like that
I would say lots of people appreciate Neil Patrick Harris. He’s extremely talented.

+David Burton But damn do they got his character spot on
I love more how his wife is always happy when something bad happens. Like, he was smiling when taking the pictures of a burned corpse. That's pretty fucked up
I don't know how to feel about Poe in this series I don't remember how he was in the books or movie but I remember never questioning if he was dropped on his head as a baby it's the lines like the one about Stephano he says in wide window he just seems dumber than usual here
Mr Critical I think in the books he was a little more likable. He's super oblivious in both but to me it seems that in the books he cared a little more about the orphans.
Basically I remember only slightly disliking Mr. Poe in the books but I despise him in the Netflix series.

Bella Collier07
Ikrrrrr how can everyone sing sooo wellll
Fun fact: NPH is a tenor but he's using his chest voice here, especially in the theme song.
I love how the song kinda makes Olaf seem not so evil
Laughing Kitty it’s because he really wasn’t always evil, and his actual self is not unlike the Baudelaires: a sad, broken orphan

im actually laughing at this comment
:o :o 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This song is perfect for the series. Not only are the lyrics fitting, which are mostly depressing but some parts humorous(ill-fitting pants), but also each of the singers and the tone they are singing in. You can tell that Lemony and the children are depressing from everything that's happened, that Count Olaf is sad but because he's not winning, and that Mr. Poe is mostly ignorant of how bad things truly are. It's a great way to end the season.
I love how almost everyone is singing all depressed. And have a serious look on their face.
And then you have mr Poe just bopping around in his car.
He be vibing
Noticed something that really gets to me here: Lemony talks about how he loved Beatrice, but all he says of her feelings is that she "thought well of" him. How heartbreaking is it that he has such a low opinion of himself, he doesn't think the love of his life felt the same way about him?
I know, some of you might feel that I am overthinking it.
Coral Roper well she did write a giant book explaining why they couldn't be together.
He adores her it’s so sad, his feelings never died and he still thinks of her constantly. He’s in constant agony over the loss of his love. I can’t even imagine what it must be like to rely on someone and love them that much for them to meet such a sudden and horrible death. I really love Snickets character and it’s so cute how much he talks about her, he’s so easy to sympathise with.
Well it makes sense why she couldn't marry him... But I think it's so interesting how Beatrice Baudelaire writes a whole BOOK to answer an almost simple question...
If you find the Beatrice Letters, there is an almost 4-page segment of one them where every sentence starts with “I love you like/as” and it’s just simile upon Snicket-y simile describing how much he loves her and it’s really sweet. And really heartbreaking.
Coral Roper he was deep in the friendzone
1:19, note how Olaf pauses and smiles after Lemony mentions Beatrice being dead...
And now I know why
I think that's because what he's about to say about the orphans,,,
I mean she did kill his father
@@NikiRGB well, not on purpose...
WHAT A BITCH
Poe is able to enjoy the melody by ignoring all the misery around him. Olaf is singing about the world as uncomfortable pants, explaining his discomfort and will to wear and hence bend the world to his will. And Lemony seems a bit obsessed by the past. Very telling of their characters.
1:02 Not enough people talk about this part, but I feel particularly bad the way he says "But now I'm alone as you can now see, she's cold in her grave forever", he really lost everything, or so it seemed, he had his siblings but then they also died, at least the baudelaire children had each other.
Also when you realise who he was actually talking about - Beatrice, the love of his life and the Baudelaire Children’s mother. 💔
😭
This is totally not the 27th time I’ve watch this. It’s not, fine it is

"Some people laugh I suppose."
Oh Olaf, you broke my heart.
XD he broke your heart
I mean like he laughs too right? He laughs at the Baudilares doesnt he? When they fall into his clutches again, and again... and again....? And again?? But its cool how he never gives up, tho.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I have to say he is the most heartbreaking character, he’s my favorite.
Miss Muffet he fake laughs. He wants to hide his sorrow from all the terrible things that have happened to him. It’s his evil coping laugh, with his real laughs and joy are buried in this husk of a man.
Rest In Peace Count Olaf
Never thought I’d say the words
U ever think that the quagmires might notice the people singing and whistling behind them...?
Holy hell, there just sitting there probably confused as all hell
😂
Why is this my favorite comment?
Prolly just thinking
“What on earth ?”
Oh no... they know... they're just too awkward to say anything.
I hope this gets a second season mostly so I can see how they adapt Esme Squalor to the screen.
JelloApocalypse it's already confirmed if I am not mistaken.
JelloApocalypse What I want to know is how they are going to fit two children in a fountain and how they will make the submarine work. But I'm curious on how they can portray Eśme as well.
If I remember correctly, wasn't Esme not a part of V.F.D. until Olaf recruited her? It's been years since I read The Ersatz Elevator, so I could be wrong.
JelloApocalypse don't forget about cartmila spats (ugh)and Jerome squalor (j.s) :)
pixcelation He was her acting coach
When I heard Lemony Snicket start singing at the end of the last episode I was worried it would be cheesy and horrible but this was really an amazing song, and I wish there were a longer version
TBestIG Right. Because a baby CG whistling isn't AT ALL cheesy or cartoony. (Just for the record, I still like the song and the show)
Wendigo Dragon I didn't say there weren't dumb parts
Well, they did say that the world is a pair of ill-fitting pants
Donut_Thug life is a conundrum of esoterica after all
when this was reprised in “Penultimate Peril: Part 2”, showing everything that happened on the Baudelaire’s journey from when they first met Olaf. My heart just went into pieces💔 it was such an unfortunate experience x
it was so emotional
Losers Float Too I agree. I watched the whole season when it came out and I’d do anything to experience this show for the first time again
DevilNoah Amv's and Games the show ended way better than the book
DevilNoah Amv's and Games more answered questions. Also, more people survived, which is better depending on your opinion
what’s the time stamp for when it happens in that episode
The reason I love this show is the fact that you can learn a new word or two every episode and still get to hear some nonsensical things and be perfectly fine with it.
I love how Sunny is just sitting there like: Why am I here.
I thought K. Todd Freeman's Mr. Poe was absolutely brilliant! I love how oblivious he is to everything. It takes a special kind of talent to make everyone hate your character more than the main antagonist.
I just now realized, after listening to the song so many times, that each of the singers actually convey the emotion their character is feeling at that moment. I only heard that once I listened to the song without watching the video.
Lemony is matter-of-fact with a hint of regret.
Olaf is sinister with a hint of glee.
Poe is happy and oblivious.
Klaus has almost given up.
Violet is holding back tears. At one point you can even hear her voice almost go into crying, just to be picked back up slightly again.
Sunny is angry and sinister at the same time, which you can hear even if it's only whistling.
i mean it's pretty obvious...
Olaf seems sad and bored.
I don't think olaf was gleeful he looked pretty disappointed and sad
Ah yes, everything has been going according to sunny's plan this entire time.
Plot twist:
Sunny is the one who set the baudelaire fire!
I will bet all of my money!
Why does Neil's voice sound so GOOD, as a narrator and singing?! That's straight up cheating.
sunny whistling killed me
but seriously violets good at singing
too bad everyone song over her
Reese Miller grammar mistake you should have said "sang over her" not "song over her"
Reese Miller the real person who got sang over is Klaus am I right
Thank you Jim, thank you so much xD
The series was so fucking perfect in every way. I was mad at first because the parents were alive, but yeah, then I realized. This song is awesome, the quagmires are perfect, when this guy (can'trember his name) is playing the violin, it's just all perfect. I can't wait for VFD, and who am I kidding, Carmelita Spats and Esmé Squalor.
the guy who "plays" the violin is Vice Principal Nero

“The world is a pair of ill-fitting pants”

I love how this incorporates the tone of the books perfectly while adding the comedy of the show.
Honestly... Count Olaf's parts in this song as well as the Baudelaire children's parts give me goosebumps every time. I have to blast the audio in my headphones because I like it so much.
The kid who played Klaus is a amazing singer if you can hear him. I wish he sung louder :(
Louis Hynes
Avary Narwhal it’s not his voice. They used another person’s voice. His voice is more high pitched in the first season.
Louis Hines
Who else kind of grew fond of Olaf towards the end as his hurt started to show and he was slowly slowly left alone? and when he died it was actually painful. and the feeling that .. that finally, this is it, this is the end for real.. the whole series was chaotic and confusing an left so many questions.. and i was so invested. like damn, this is really it. i don't know how to act anymore..
yea I found myself getting sad when he died and I was like 'why am I thinking like this'
Def not the sad backstory doesn't make up for all he did
@@possums154 you was thinking like this because Olaf was representing only from his better sides and didn't kill anyone ( why?) at the end of the series. Honestly, i felt the same when he died, but remembering that he twice almost killed Sunny(!!!), ruthlessly hited to death J.S.(bare hands, just imagine that, omg!!!) my compassion for him disappeared instantly
Wait what?????? I remember watching this series a long time ago and I think I got the season 2 I think that I like some kind of junkyard or something and the two people that were like looking for them like going to open the gate and the children were too but it turned out that they were like two different places or something like that
Did you guys (or women) notice that Mr.Poe caused all of this
Garnoola Baar ...oh my god your right, what do I do with this information?
Exactly because he was the one that told count Olaf that they had a fortune
why isn’t he fired
well, if he didn`t, count olaf would just appear in disguise and the children would honestly not know who he is, and the guardian`s life would just be easier to end
Not exactly, mr Poe was an idiot, but the cards were stacked against the Baudelaires. (Spoilers my dear volunteers) the high court was in control of the fire starting side, all vfd members were falling left and right, and well, the Baudelaires just had their bad luck
Violet has a really pretty voice. It stands out from the others, but it's really nice.
I’m pretty sure that’s not her real voice. That’s somebody else’s. it’s just a recording.
Thomas The Tank
Sure, however it still counts as her voice.
@@thomasthetank7949 No, it actually was Malina Weissman
Thomas The Tank It was her singing. All the cast recorded for the song.
That is the most random comment
Seeing violet sing that peace and justice won't happen with that blank expression makes me so sad
i feel like crying every time i hear this so bad. and the song is so sad and the vocals are so amazing i can’t
This showed how broken violet was. She didn’t even move the entire time, and was just destroyed
It sounded like she was on the verge of tears, too
Can't watch her without crying.
Can I just get an hour of Violet singing because her voice is beautiful
Spoilers (even for people watching Netflix series, until season 3 comes out)
Notice how Count Olaf himself that there is no happy ending, not even for him, and how it is all sorrows and woes, saying he himself suffered through this
And because there is no happy ending for anyone, not even Olaf, it predicts his sad demise
Or you could just read the books to find out zat.
*I’m still glad he’s dead*
I dunno after watching the end I thought Bauldaires did have a somewhat happy ending.
Shaun Blyth In a sense, but they still ended up orphans with no caretakers and two babies to raise.
At the end of the day, Olaf was a victim like anyone else. It’s how he chose to react to his victimhood that set him apart.
Why am I addicted to this song despite how sad it is?? I am rewatching the show for the 4th time this year!
Malina's voice at 1:46 is on point! Love this song!
Wow. I DID NOT know you were a volunteer.
But no one talks about how Louis or Neil Patrick or Patrick Walburton doing surprisingly well
Maybe because everyone knows Neil Patrick Harris is a great singer?
Wow man, never thought I'd see you in such an obscure video
You guys? Here?! WOW!
I like you guys twice as more now!
I love how violet and Klaus reactions are like "oh yeah well our baby sister is whistling perfectly that's normal"
Leah and Kenzie Does well she can also use her teeth to sand a rock the size of her head into a perfect skipping stone, so by that point they might already be accustomed to having their sister be the equivalent of Jesus 🙃
I mean, that's hardly the weirdest thing she does...
she's literally bitten a giant piece of bark off a tree in 0.5 seconds though
This song, and indeed, this whole series, is about the beauty of sadness. Life is hardly ever perfect. Like The Rolling Stones said, you can't always get what you want. But in spite of all their hardships, the Baudelaires are still here. And in spite of all of ours, so are we.
*Mr. Poe hinting that 2 parents are dead while smiling happily to himself*
NPH's acting here is interesting for a couple of reasons. He seems simultaneously pleased that evil will prevail, while also sad and bitter. Almost as though Count Olaf was once hopeful, kind, and inventive like the children, but the unfortunate events in his life made him believe that the only way to win was to become evil.
Reminds me a bit of his portrayal of Dr. Horrible.
Dr. Horrible: "There's not happy ending. So they say. Well not for me anyway".
Count Olaf: "There's no happy endings not here and not now. This tale is all sorrows and woes."
Ben Swall-Yarrington well he didn't want to be evil imo it was the schisms fault
That’s Count Olaf in a nutshell lol
He was an orphan too so it makes sense
Lyrics, which can also be found by turning on the captions:
You may think that the Baudelaires ought to prevail,
and be tucked some place all safe and sound.
Count Olaf captured and rotting in jail,
his henchpeople nowhere around.
But there’s no happy endings,
not here and not now,
this tale is all sorrows and woes.
You may dream that justice and peace win the day,
but that’s not how the story goes.
You might think that two parents,
both brave and both true,
would live till a nice ripe old age,
but I’m sad to say I have bad news for you,
the curtain rings down on the stage.
Yes there’s no happy endings,
not here and not now,
this tale is all sorrows and woes.
You might dream that justice and peace win the day,
but that’s not how the story goes.
I once loved a girl,
and she thought well of me,
we thought we’d be happy together,
but now I’m alone as you can well see,
she’s cold in her grave forever.
There’s no happy endings,
not here and not now,
this tale is all sorrows and woes.
You might dream that justice and peace win the day,
but that’s not how the story goes.
The world is a pair of ill-fitting pants,
and other dire, hideous clothes.
You might think that three children
would lead pleasant lives,
but that’s not how the story goes.
Some people smile at the end of the day.
Some people laugh I suppose.
But to me there is nothing but gloom and despair,
that’s just how the story goes.
That’s just how the story goes!

This show is amazing and depressing at the same time
That's the idea ;)
Just like the books
dickywise123 gee, I had no idea that a show called A Series of UNFORTUNATE EVENTS would be depressing.
Not really exactly like the books, since the show is mostly humorous and self-aware rather than depressing. Kind of wish the tone of this song was present more often in the show itself, but it really only had a few sad moments (like the Quagmires reveal)
dickywise123 DON'T LET YOUR KIDS WATCH IT!
+9000.1 points to all you fellow memers
This book series got me through a really heavy bereavement at a young age. It meant a lot to me. I’m glad it finally got the adaptation it deserved.
Count Olaf's first verse can also be a reference to the murder of his parents.
His second verse the feeling he has to be the villain and put on a disguise of such.
His third verse how he suffers with grief, a false cheerful facade
I wanted him dead the first season, but when I saw him die in The End, I cried 😭

Maddy Gowers Send me a link
TheNerdyBirdyShow YES.
YES
Despite all the warnings from Snicket in every episode, I took it humorously and greatly enjoyed the show as a comedy. But this came up, and it actually WAS depressing. The music, the characters' attitude... it's like after constantly moving from adventure to adventure, they all take some time to really contemplate the miserable situation they're in, and the fact that it's far from over each with his own reaction.
Snicket is like "Still hoping ? Didn't I warn you ? Well, you asked for it". And he can tell from experience, since he also suffered greatly.
Olaf is not all planning and maniacally laughing like he seemed prone to do during the whole season. He's actually quietly thinking while having a drink, like he just came back from an exhausting job. He's also displaying a cynical point of view, typical of people who themselves have no more hope because of everything they went through. This is one of the biggest hints of his deeper nature, despite not revealing anything.
The orphans are just... resigned. They know their life is shit, and that it will not improve, and they accepted it and silently wait for the next unfortunate event.
And Mr Poe, the only friend they have, who could actually do something... doesn't give a crap.
Count Olaf actually has such a good voice when singing, I know the it’s the person acting but still, it feels different when you are viewing him as Count Olaf
the small voice cracks that violet has are so fitting for this song

+3.14 Dragon yup olaf lost his parents to the baudelaires and has felt like he has had to steal and scavenge his way through his life even while in vfd he never felt like he belonged unless around kit
Its never CONFIRMED the Baudilairs killed his parents, and hes still a horrible person, but when even the horrible evil villain is a tragic figure, well... You've got yourself a series for the ages.
Coral Roper who?
Initially felt awkward when Patrick Warburton started singing out of nowhere. but then the song and lyrics just seeped into my soul. Awesome end to a great season.
I'm reminded of the series 1 finale of Skins when the cast burst into a depressing performance of Wild World out of nowhere, but it ended up hauntingly beautiful and a perfect end to the series.
It's a British teen dramadey. Great writing and characters. It's on Netflix if you wanna check it out.
Omg that's exactly what i thought while i watched it
Same!!!
Two years later and this song still haunts me. Really the highlight of all three seasons imo.
I can't stop listening to this! It's such a strange but beautiful end to the season.

Walt Manasse-Latham saaaaaammmmeee When I have earbuds and my teachers allow me to listen to music I listen to this song and everyone always goes like "What the heck are you listening to?" And I'm all like "NOTHING!!!!!!" and I close my Chromebook and finish my work.
Malina singing voice is verrrry lovely
Malina has such a beautiful voice omg
I lost my father when i was 12, a few days before this series was released. Looking back now, i realize how much it helped me to cope with reality. It shouldn't happen, but sometimes children lose their parents. It shouldn't happen, but sometimes happy families get destroyed. You have to keep living through this cruel reality
//literally 3 days after it comes out
Me: where's season 2
Arya Winchester Me but two days after!lol
Charles Wylie ugh showoff (I think I was also thinking it while watching the show though)
Arya Winchester Literally me less than 12 hours after it comes out, "WHERE THE FUCK IS SEASON 2!!!????"
//watches first trailer for it
me:WHERES SEASON 2
i said that when it came out and i wasn't even finished with the 6th episode...
The question we all should be asking is: WHERE IS SEASON 2!!!???!??!?!?!?
I literally cried my eyeballs out on the last episode 😭
Who didn't?
Aside from the people who watched it at least more than 2 times. I watched it twice, cried both times.
R.I.P Olaf he hurt people because he was hurt
@@bertramshot2375 no spoiler
Me too 😂
When I first watched the show, I was still reading the books. I would read a book and then watch the two episodes for the books while waiting for the next book to be available in the library. When I got to The End, I wanted to cry, but couldn't because I had read the end to The End literally the same day, so there was no point in crying from watching the end of The End when I already cried from reading the end of The End. THE END
This song is oddly depressing and kinda hopeful at the same time. In other words, it's perfect.
2020 anyone? I’ve watched this series so many times but I just can’t let go of the story. I absolutely love everything about it but for some reason there are just things that I can’t stop thinking about. 💕
I just can't let go and I cry at the end every time
starkid4life yay I know! I always get sad when I finish a show, but this one just hits different for some reason
Mee
I finished all three seasons in four days and now I don't know what to do with my life 😭😭😭
@@severussnape2134 I feel ur pain 😂
I’m going to really miss this damn show

This show was a masterpiece.
I personally wouldn't call it a masterpiece, but it was certainly enjoyable. Looking forward to season 2.
