Oh god oh man! Oh god oh man!
Velma is back with vengence
Do you think you'll do the same for She-Hulk or Obi-Wan?
@@MegaSpideyman *Probably* not, I think it'd depend on them getting a second season.
This Velma cartoon really showed how psychologically very angry Mindy Kaling is, and wants revenge on those that turned her down for dates in high school.
Male hatred is very normalized in left leaning/leftist communities. It’s usually understated and casually justified, but the effects of “ok bigotry” in your community leads to genuinely inhumane behaviors.
It also leads people to making things like Velma
@@ScatterBrainedYouBetterFollow You actually went to college to learn all that Babel you are stating? 😆😆😆
It is quite obvious that Mindy Kaling has a major problem regarding her self observations regarding her looks, her ethnicity, and, a resentment toward men that is incredible.
You are stating nonsense, psychobabble nonsense by the way, about, "communities" and how it is accepted in other communities.... and the communities community.. and it is accepted hostility.... OH, PLEASE, stop it.
You are trying to defend this pretender with her obvious problems that she has had since high school. Perhaps you have a kinship with her?
By the way, college is for those to be a scholar. It is for being an erudite scholar. College is not for repeating nonsense and being a major at woman studies. Enough.
@@ScatterBrainedYouBetterFollow My Goodness, you state here a lot of psychobabble nonsense.😆😆😆
@@theequalizer9154Yet you failed to provide a single example of how he is wrong
My guess is she grew up in a very very rich family (she did if I remember correctly) and is basically the poster-child for rich kid with only child syndrome. Then couldn't handle that the world didn't bow to her greatness that she didn't earn nor even could because she was born into it, and any friction must be because of some 'ism against her.

This comment and the one after yours are funnier than this show.
@@AMikeStein thank you! I put more effort into in than the entire writing staff of Velma. And I think my joke sucks.
"Like, Scoob, eat a Snickers or something, man. You're not yourself when you're hungry."
"Rhis rhoes rerond ranger, Rhaggy. Ret me my rawyer."
@kevooooooooooooooooooo just glad you didn't say ritty rit roll. That would've been rancid. My bro.
But guuuuuys, she wrote a couple episodes of the Office once! That means nothing she ever does can never be criticized!
26 episodes, I looked it up. I'm not defending her I'm just wondering if maybe the office is a tad overrated
@@ideamachine39It's amazing what team work can achieve. Writing a whole episode is a lot different from being told to sit in the corner and let the adults crack on with the heavy lifting.
@@martynsouthgate1551 she's not even a writer on the show. Again I looked it up. Maybe the show would be better if she did write it.
The Office is trash so I don’t even see why that’s a point?
@@ideamachine39the office is vastly over rated, it's barely funny and is just background noise for women to scroll their phones to
The Little Platoon continuing the time honored British tradition of oppressing the Indians.
Lmao
holy crap, there's no clever reply worthy of this comment.
And he didn't even build them a railway system this time.
Tbh they deserved it. By they I mean Mindy.
@@GeordieSwordsmanAin't no way anyone would rail Mindy. Even Mr Magoo would be disgusted by whatever Mindy is.
"Scooby-Doo" franchise is not in any real danger of sharing the sad fate of "Star Wars" or "Star Trek".
The difference between the *old/innocent/wholesome* and the *modern* is simply too large and too shocking to successfully subvert and destroy its legacy.
True. If they changed the character names and design there would be no way to tell this had anything to do with scooby-doo.
It is help thet Scooby-Doo is episodic in nature so you can just ignore the bad episodes... you know, the seasens upon seasen bad episodes.
@@reactiondavant-garde3391at least bad old scooby do episodes were just bad stories. This is actively malicious
Also, how did you spell “episodic” right but misspell “season” twice in the same sentence.
@@crocadillius6418 I agree, my point was more about how the old Scooby-Doo in worst case was one-one bad episode, but the Velma show is a flood of badness and as you said correctly maliciousness.
And because in my languadge we write phonetically so sometimes my brain write some word as I say them. So episodic is an easier word, meanwhile seasan is a harder word.
Also, it’s not in the same continuity, so unlike Star Wars the next show can pretend none of this ever happened.
If I had eyes like Velma I would purposefully lose my glasses so that I physically could not watch it even if forced.
If you were Velma, wouldn´t you go to a gym first, though? Lol? :)
@@Film_Sushi ...I would go to the nearest suislide. I am morally incapable of forcing the world to endure such horrors.
@@nerobernardino88 Hehe. Rate Velma from 1 to 10? :)
You'll still hear the horrible dialogue. Covering your ears would be better, you could at least imagine a good script
@@darkdwarf007 can´t you guys watch a bad porn instead? Come on, this is nerve-paralytic poison, not ´art´. :)
I don't think I've heard anyone refer to a drug dealer as a "Candyman" or anything else like that, outside of Hollywood. Most people just call em Dealers.
It’s very much “how do you do fellow kids” kinda thing.
Spooky month did that
Well there is Clone High's magic man in the raisin episode.
Gundam told a story about the famous drug dealer in FLA that died, who made amazing drug filled treats, but he was called "Willy Wonka".
Honestly, I've been around drug dealers a lot, and 99.9% have no nickname. The ones that do, are too dumb to realize that branding their drugs is just a ticket to being raided.
It’s a really old timey reference long dead
I can't believe there's a lot of professional animators wasting their time and potential on another fucking season of this massive shit... I feel so disgusted.
Yeah, that must be depressing.
If by professional animators you mean underpaid koreans, then yes.
@@stigmaoftherose Even they don't deserve this fate! /j (cuz I didn't watch it fully, but the characters seem very angular)
@TheLittlePlatoon The show is so bad that I decided all women must pay for sharing any similarities to Mindy. I enrolled my 2 year old daughter into a "daycare" that is actually a wood chipper, divorced my wife of 11 years and sent her back to Japan, and sent anthrax to my grandmother's house.
Now I'm gay. Hmu
This show's biggest problem is the writers are not half as clever and funny as they think they are. I've seen dark comedies do the "high school but every single character is vile or stupid" thing and pull it off by creating fascinating depravity and actually funny dialogue.
What's it called?
@@heartlessscorpion1334 Class of '09. It's a visual novel type of game, and some of the funniest messed up stuff I've ever seen. You can find footage on yt easily.
@@heartlessscorpion1334 thracia 776
Velma fails at reference jokes:
The one about the olympic athlete is a refrence to a SA case that happened...so..tasteless.
Peppermint Patty is a character on Charlie Brown. She has an obvious crush on Charlie Brown but because she is a tomboy and is frequently followed around by her friend Marcy, people speculate that she's a lesbian (because girls can't be tomboys and have close relationships with other girls w/o "teh ghey" going on)
And the costumes Daphne's parents are wearing is a throwback to another Hanna Barbarra cartoon "Captain Caveman" which I think was slotted in with the Flintstones.
"Obvious crush on Charlie Brown - Moderns interpret her as lesbian" man that shit bugs me so much, because the vocal minority of LGBT people who base their entire life around their sexuality and act psychotic about it online *always* get their collective panties in a bunch whenever a historical or fictional gay character is ever "washed" and interpreted as straight- yet they do that exact shit all the time with canonically and historically straight people and try to colonize them as gay or bi. The absolute worst example I can think of is digging up Kurt Cobain several decades after his suicide and trying to make-believe that he was transgender with nothing but daydreams and moonbeams as evidence. It all just gets so obnoxious after a while.
And aren’t they like twelve in Charlie Brown?
@@crocadillius6418so? They do the same thing for francine and muffy from arthur and the author entertains the idea
@@crocadillius6418 Bro was born 13 years old
Even Marcy like Charles as well
Velma is a gem of a series. Not only did it significantly raise awareness of, and appreciation for, the Scooby Doo franchise (the parts that came before Velma that is), but it also united critics and journalists from all political positions, and all walks of life, in hating this one awful cartoon. Dozens of artists were inspired by the sheer depravity and awfulness of the show into believing that they too can achieve their dreams of being writers and creatives, given how low the bar actually is based on the very existence of this show. It taught people about the virtues of respecting existing IPs, and about the dangers of meta-humor and overuse of shock value. It helped to raise awareness of Mindy Kaling's unintentionally self-confessed sexual assault of a homosexual employee, and in doing so may have put a permanent dent in her career as a writer/producer.
And best of all, it managed to achieve all this while being swiftly swept under the rug almost immediately. So contemptuous was the whole of the internet's hatred and disgust for this show, that just a few months after it came out, after every critic on Earth had their chance to shit on it, people almost immediately forgot about it, and stopped talking about it. It was as if the entire internet vomited all at once, in order to purge themselves of the poison that was Velma.
Velma may have been one of the most exclusively positive, healthy things to happen to popular discourse in the last 10 years.
Damn dude. You should unironically start writing either reviews or social commentary❤️
@@jonpato thanks man
When there isn't a moral repulsion from revisiting old content, almost everyone who remembers their younger days will prefer old content to AAA/Modern Hollywood trash. Pixel art and old grainy films will never be replaceable.
lmaooooo well said my dude
Zoinks! And, like, just in time for Season 2!
That’s the idea!
THERES A SEASON 2?!
@@looinrims unfortunately
@@thebakedchefMore like season 1.5 since they split actual Season 1 into two parts.
@@Ashkihyena thanks for clarifying! I try to stay far away from it (besides here)
Please don't tell Mauler I'm cheating on his long videos with yours.
I don’t kiss and tell.
What are we supposed to do? Longman doesn't put out often ;) and Platoon is well endowed to make good content
If he uploaded more often than never we wouldn't need to cheat on him. He has good reasons to not upload often, but I have no patience.
@unaffectedbycardeffects9152 what are his reasons? Time it takes to edit and his podcast just makes more money?
@sladewilson2753 providing hours at a time of well edited and researched content takes time, I guess. Rush it and you loose the main appeal of the channel. Still, he most likely could upload more often without sacrificing much. And the podcast probably makes more money because it's easier amd way faster to make. Can't say I'm a fan of this last reason
Something to take my mind off the disaster that is my own life.
Everyone goes through it, and with friends, humour, and a bit of luck, everyone comes out of it. Your name isn’t in the writing credits for Velma. You’re already doing ok.
The Little Platoon is dead, he's now The Big Platoon.

Long live The Big Platoon.
@@SquallLionhart409 Big Life to Long Platoon!
Velma! The gift that keeps on giving! It’s been a year and I am still watching new videos of that abomination been absolutely torn apart… because, here’s the thing, each content creator seems to find new and different examples of just how bad it is! It’s almost impressive! It’s like how you can read the same Bible passage and find new meaning and insight only the complete inversion of that!
This is *technically* not a new episode, alas, as it's just a supercut of last year's videos in preparation for Season 2. But I'm sure that'll turn up new levels of awfulness.
@@TheLittlePlatoon ‘Somehow it got worse’ - Velma
Yeah, if that gift is cancer.
@@Ashkihyena yeah phycological cancer theres probably gonna be a lot kids or pre teens that watch this shit and are gonna be completely fucked up by it and see being racist, sexist and a feminist as the new norm in society.......oh wait that shit is already happening
@@TheLittlePlatoonLike a reverse Lord of The Rings. Every time you spot something new and wonderful with LotR, however with Velma it's something new and absolute shit instead. I feel disgusted comparing LotR and this. I'm gonna need to take a bath, no one of those showers that get rid of radiation.
Velma Season 2 = several episodes of Mindy Kailing attacking her critics of season 1.
Honestly I would love that. Best possible outcome. I want a cameo.
She-Hulk established that trolling your audience is a viable approach to wide-spread popularity, so yeah...Season 2 on the way!
@@user-hj1ek9gw4s It helps today's guilt-ridden audiences (you know, from all the white privilege, etc) to both enjoy the show, and assuage their shame. (Two birds with one stone)
@@TheLittlePlatoon Thar would be perfect. Imagine making Mindy so angry she had to attack you in person.
Anti-critics scenes are always great. Like Shaymalans failed attempt in Lady in the Water or Emmerich's Mayor Ebert in Godzilla.
When I was watching the older videos, it felt really nice hearing music from the original Scooby Doo Hanna-Barbera show. It took me back to having fun watching that as a kid on Cartoon Network, and just better times in general, like when Velma 2023 didn't exist.
“Velma” or “Mindy Kaling’s Many Unresolved Adolescent Psychological Issues: The Series” or “Mindy Kaling’s Presentation on Creating Anti-humor.’
Why not everything?
Mindy Kaling and Friends Many Unresolved Psychological Issues Presented as an Anti-Writing Cartoon.
It really depends on if indeed what you say in "quotes" is in anyway factual.
If they changed the character names and clothing nobody would ever guess this had anything to do with scooby-doo.
Peppermint Patty is a character from The Peanuts cartoon strip, she has the red brown hair. It should be noted the characters are in elementary school.
oh god they sexualizing children oh wait purberty blockers lmfao
Oh I get it… because Marcy calls her “Sir…” hahahahahaha. So very funny…
It is also clear that Peppermint Patty likes Charlie Brown. The only evidence of any sort to support that statement is that she has a female best friend who calls her sir and she isn't conventionally pretty. Its reaching so high that its halfway to the sun, for *elementary* school students.
Marcy the girl friend of Peppermint Pattie the tomboy of Peanuts.
@@randallbesch2424 She's the one with glasses? I thought the black-haired one who played football would be considered the tomboy.
In his book "The Comic Toolbox" sitcom writer John Vorhaus calls the phenomena you refer to as a "Jokoid." It looks like a joke, it sounds like a joke, it has the structure of a joke, but it is simply just not funny.
I didn't even know there was a word for it to begin with
I am stealing that. "Jokoid" fits so much of what is passed off as humor. Great!
A big part of the issue is that a joke is not supposed to be true. In biological terms, it's anger that is misdirected and aborted, which is why it shares some of the physical displays of anger but makes you feel better afterward. If you rant about how much you truly hate everyone, that's not a joke... that's just sad. And watching Velma, we can FEEL the authenticity in it. She really does hate EVERYONE. She tries to play it off as humour, but we can all tell it's not.
"Can't Buy Me Love" is a teen movie where a nerdy guy pays the popular girl to date him in hopes that it will make him popular. It could be seen as blackmail because she is using the money to replace a ruined suede outfit she borrowed from her mother without permission... it isn't blackmail obviously, but that's what I'd guess they thought of.
I think what they were going for is the cliche where a guy will sell/give up something of his that means a whole lot to him, to show that the girl means more. They see that as a form of emotional blackmail.
@@0blivionvoid139 That shows just how fucked up these people are.
When I was this age, I sold a bunch of Pokemon toys I'd had forever so I could buy my girlfriend at the time dinner and prom tickets, because I didn't have a job. I didn't have any intention of telling her this, I didn't think anything of it, she just happened to find out because she knew I was broke and asked where the money came from. You have to be an extremely bitter person to see someone do something selfless and say "You're doing this to manipulate me!"
@@0blivionvoid139 I honestly don't see either option enough to make it a troupe, but I lived through the 80s so maybe I'm biased.
@@AJadedLizard Agreed, I would have considered that self-less, but I don't like Hollywood people so maybe that's the difference.
I can vaguely remember maybe one b plot of a sexy teen comedy in the 80s where that was almost a thing, so...basically a trope XD. Were do the writers live and what show did they watch? It happens a little bit more in anime but it's never seen as a good thing, it's what the antagonist does and gets punished or ridiculed for it. It might happen in real life of course, sadly, but in media?
I didn't want this.
Thank you.
And they would have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for that meddling Little Platoon.
Velma was THE most shameless IP hack ever. To those who do not know an IP hack is when you get the rights or control over a loved and established IP/brand, like say Scooby Doo. Then you twist, rewrite and change it to fit your own means and ends. In some cases rewriting all the characters and plot to the story you'd rather tell. Like a creepy pasta where its basically just a horror story someone came up with, but in the setting with those characters.
Whats her face, Mindy Failing, basically rewrote the show to be about her and her life, and renamed herself to Velma, and set it in scooby doo land and got rid of scooby doo (because she knows that would overshadow her.) The original show was about spooky ghosts and mysteries needing to be solved. Velma was about a Mindy if she had visions of spooky things, and solving mysteries nobody but her care about because Mommy never loved her enough, and daddy was a beta.
This is single handedly the most impressive failure in modern history and also the most pathetic, sad, "Look at me! Care about me!" attention whore story about why she is mad she cannot have the power of men, and in the same sentence often says how she would abuse that same power if she had it. Mindy Failing is the most depressed Hollywood, ugly, fat, failed writer and not funny actor the world has seen. And it burns her up inside that her greatest success was the Office, and she was just a minor character, and NOTHING she ever does will surpass that.
The existence of the "Velma" show is, I think, tangible proof that we live in a simulation. A simulation that has acquired enough bugs and is now crashing.
The developers have given up on the Earth project
If they make a season 2 of Echo, Platoon could make a review of it called Mary Sioux 2 electric boogaloo.
See? It rhymes!
It would almost be worth it for the title alone.
@@TheLittlePlatoon almost?
@@montgomerynovak2194 nothing is worth watching Echo.
Little Bighorn 2 Diarrhoea Boogaloo.

I do appreciate how refreshingly bad it is, like there's no hiding it's pure hatred in any sort of pretense
53:10 "Mindy Kayley [i don't care enough to figure out how it's spelled] is not hot, and she's never been hot, meaning she has to exorcise this particular demon by being mean about thr hot girls in 'Velma.'"
Best line i've heard in weeks and it made me laugh so hard. Also, couldn't agree more!
I am morbidly curious how she’ll top it in season 2. Is she over it yet or will it just be more bile?
@@TheLittlePlatoon from the few clips of her interviews that have come across my various media platforms, which were viewed or heard unintentionally, *believe that,* she's still just as self concious and self important as ever. I predict S2 will be similar vomitous waste while attempting to be more "clever" so nobody can possibly misunderstand how brilliant she so clearly is
@@TheLittlePlatoon those who suffer from prolonged and terminal sexual deprivation never get over it. and they always get worse over time.
Petition to rename Mindy’s self-insert Velma _Dickley_ in the Scooby-Doo fandom, as this character doesn’t deserve to have the same name as Velma Dinkley.
How about Mindy's self-insert being called Velma Bitchley?
That's a great thumbnail.
Thank you!
Wish it happened in episode 1 so the rest of the show didn’t exist.
Let me tell you, as a long time pothead, there isn't a strain of weed strong enough to make this show funny.
wait....? how the hell did this get a second season?! it's rated a 1.6/10 on imbd... HOW does that get a second season?!
Most cartoons get second seasons. Something to do with scrap assets that would be wasted if they did not invest into another season.
i get the sense that shows like this get renewed because they're not made for viewers but at them
I think, but don’t unite me, that both seasons were made simultaneously and season 2 is just getting released now.
They were already working on the second season well before the first one finished airing, plus enough people hate watched it for the execs to have made enough money to not scrap that (cheap) labor that was already done.
There was a second, where I genuinely believed that you had not only done the entire Velma series episode by episode as it came out, but has now come back and made a season review separately... You're still an absolute mad lad with the content you do put out, but it's good to know that you are at least sane.
“Velma holds a magnifying glass to the fine print we’re supposed to ignore.” That’s a very solid observation. I don’t know if there’s any connection, but since this show aired, I’ve noticed more people boldly calling out certain hypocrisies without avoiding certain words. It seems far more common for people to go ahead and call out the sort of racism and sexism this show was proud to display.
- Mindy Kaling is rich.
- Mindy Kaling makes a show that tries to destroy everyone.
- Mindy Kaling says in the show that if she were rich, she would try to destroy everyone.
It's despicable, but at least it's honest.
People who lack a sarcastic, humorous bone in their body should not be tasked with making comedy… “the writers of Velma”…
April is the cruelest month, Mindy Kaling out of the dead land, mixing feminism and desire, stirring dull jokes with spring pain
Jeez
I just want it in writing that the antagonist and protagonist are literally the ones who fit that big rant Velma makes during the brain swap capture scene in the ending episode
Thank you, this is the comment I was looking for. That whole ridiculous speech about men being handed everything in life and feeling entitled while not even realizing how good you have it, that was the most blatant and delusional case of projection I've ever seen in my life...
Everything they accuse men of is literally the exact description of how these selfish narcissistic women like Mindy behave on a dialy basis.
It's bad enough that there's so many of these kind of women out there now, but it's even more infuriating that they have the nerve to try to gaslight and accuse everyone else of their sick behavior. I hate what this world has become.
So, IGN has recently published a review on season 2, and I feel like the following quote really summarizes the show. It goes like this, "This isn’t your parents’ Mystery, Inc. It doesn’t feel like anyone’s, really."
I hope that Knuckles spin-off show from the Sonic Movies gets more attention and appreciation than Velma S2. (Wild they are both premiering on the same week together)
I've got this playing on silent while listening to the audiobook of the Gulag Archipelago. Vodka makes it synch. Thank you.
The book fucked me up a bit as I was reading it.
That sounds like a wild but weirdly enjoyable experience.

@@TheLittlePlatoon Stalin was the ultimate pirate ghost.
@@Eeeeeepboop I'll look it up, thanks.
I will never understand how you could make a self insert but not be social aware enough to at least try to paint your self insert in a likeable light. Its acting for a reason you're suppose to be lying to the audience not telling us the truth. Still i guess that means we should commend the writers of velma, they at least let us know how much of red flag mendy kaling is
Honestly the only justification I could ever find for a self-insert is either a background character or the butt of a joke. Making yourself the protagonist is just lazy and cringe.
"If you've seen it all before, relive it in all it's splendor"
Don't worry Platoon, I will. I love it when a eloquent british man talks about the bottom of the barrel of the entertainment industry while I do stuff.
The Kalling/O´Brian Interview part is so Cringe. Replace Kalling with Weinstein, saying the exact same thing about an attractive women. The Pitchforks would be out and rightfully so.
They kinda look the same, I dunno
Velma Season 2 Incoming!
God help us all.
I have only heard "Hello There." and I am very much looking forward to this.
Your sacrifice is deeply appreciated.
Loved how you tore Kong/Godzilla a new one. Ewww. Not in that way. How are there "ships" (don't even like that term) for movie monsters?
People like you help to make us feel sane.
it's hard to make a show that oozes so much bitterness and hatred for "the other"
I’m glad someone suffered through this for us 😂
It's funny how men get criticized for the smallest things but when Mindy does it, she gets a multi-seasoned animated tv show.
I like how the world also forgot about her admitting to molestation on live tv.
Wait... What?
@@lobaoguara2332 Yup when she was talking with Conan O'Brien she admitted to kissing Lee Pace without his consent and threatened him to be quiet about it.
Oh hell yeah. Good background noise for moving 🙌
I hope it’s going well!
I did the same yesterday but for mowing.
“The problem with repeated gags is if you go too deep you will eventually throw up” oh my god I just got that
Props for mentioning Battlestar Galactica. I was immenesely disappointed by the last seasons, especially the finale.
Dammit, Britishman, you know I can't resist watching your videos, so why must you subject me to this torture?!
I still find it amazing that potentially hundreds of people worked on or ok'd this show and no one, NO ONE, said something as simple as, "This is terrible," with hundreds of examples just during the script writing phase.
But then I look at the last several years of movies and TVs since about 2016 and realize that it's an epidemic of ignorance, stupidity, and hatred that began slightly prior to 2016 which eventually bled into popular entertainment.
I rarely comment despite being a subscriber, but... I watched the prior videos that you did of this... and... good God, you were spot-on and I f_cking LOATHE what these blithering twats have done to these characters. The writing is appalling and the character development... words fail me. Cheers, good sir. You did us all a great service.
A 15-year-old Velma pole dancing in a strip club is indeed horrible, yet I'm equally horrified by the fact that she was somehow allowed to enter the building in the first place. The 18+ neon sign is just the rotten cherry on top.
10 episodes covered in the length of a blockbuster movie? Is it sadder that my first thought was' Hmm, Platoon must be slipping, I'd expect at least 3 more hours given his usual original content to extrapolated analysis ratio" or that I actually would have actually watched another 3 hours worth of Platoon covering Velma season 1 if there was any? Lol
I know, it’s weird! Apparently I could be brief back in the day.
@@TheLittlePlatoon to be fair, you short-circuited the " let's fix Velma" portion of the video with the dumpster joke at the end. Had you actually done it and the adjoining sidebars it would have added another 90 minutes minimum, and I for one would've enjoyed that. We have TikTok and YTShorts for brevity; your place dear Platoon is to bring the 4 hour epics more entertaining than it's source material and humor dryer than the sands of Dune during a drout.
This show makes Clone High look like Shakespeare.
OJ wasnt driving, it was his buddy Al Cowlings. Also, they were going incredibly slowly
I’ll sit down and watch a 3 hour video by platoon 1000x over before I watch a single episode of Velma
Heard rumours that theres gonna be a season 2 , if thats true , they should just cancel the bloody thing and channel funds to the less privileged
Season 2 is out today! That’s the only reason I stuck this supercut together.
@@TheLittlePlatoon I await your decent into madness once more.
_Why am I warching this?!_
*Oh yes, TheLittlePlatoon makes the best roasts, and reaction videos as well*
I'm still amazed this got made
Platoon's voice at the beginning of the video made me question my preferences... Nicely done, Platoon's cold!
I have been with you from almost to beginning. I do t know why I love watching critiques of horrible media (shows, movies, games, music). But I love it. You are one, if not number one, of the best channels I have found for this. I can't wait to see what you have to say about Velma 2. I also can't wait to watch this supercut to relive some of my favorite videos you've done!
shagg and scoob sneaking around dressed like spooky ghosts and fighting a tornado with a table was far more intriguing than all of Velma.
You've warmed my cold heart sir
I’m glad to hear it!
TV show Idea....Title: G-Spot
Plot: Ghislaine Maxwell starts a strip club and works for the CIA. But Maxwell must balance the demands of her two worlds while keeping up appearances in both. But when her cover is threatened by nosy patrons and rival intelligence agencies, she'll stop at nothing to maintain her facade and protect her clandestine operations.
....
oh wait that's real life
The lack of self perception of those writers is the only thing funny about that show.
Platoon...I was perfectly happy forgetting that this show ever existed. Why must you torture us by reminding us about the awfulness of this show once more?
Season 2 if right around the corner...

Yes. That's what I believe GRRM is counting on -- that his 'nothing' of an ending will at least be better received than the heaped pile of excrement we got from Dipshit & Dumbass.
Right now no one hates his story (hell, we all love it so much that we're pissed at him for having not published more of it in 13 years, and counting). But if HE fails to stick the landing, it may be the greatest fall in the history of fantasy writing.
I think he'd rather leave it without an ending than to take that risk.
I con not stress enough how much I appreciate this long format. You have made my work day much more enjoyable.
37:38 Peppermint Patty is a character from Charles Schulz's comicstrip series Peanuts. She is a sporty tomboy in personality, and her close friendship with fellow strip regular Marcy has led fans over the decades to speculate that the two may be lesbians.
The "now let's try to fix Velma" at the end legit just made me laugh loud enough i'm worried i woke up the folks in the apartment above me
Sure, I’ll rot my brain again. Why not.
Thank you for your sacrifce Little Platoon and thank your editors for having to shift this shitshow for scenes.
0:00 "General Kenobi-" dammit i cant break this spell
Velma being an actual project that got the chance to exist is one of the hardest-hitting blackpills out there.
Im on the last night of my work week, I needed this video. Thanks!
Velma feels like a bunch of Mindy Kalin's temper tantrums she's given during her obvious midlife crisis animated and strung together to vaguely form a narrative involving a Scooby doo spinoff, as such I do feel bad for her but not so much HBO who deserves every bit of criticism thrown at them for this shows existence.
As a man, I can verify that I have never once suffered any consequences for my actions.
29:32 I think that was more a direct reference to that women's gymnastics trainer at Michigan State whom had a period of abuse go on and nothing was done for years until it was. That you would have to be a slimy lawyer to defend that guy.
I like how you are playing Scooby Doo Mystery Mayhem in the background. Good game on the PS2 that actually respects the source material.
velma is the reason I canceled HBOmax and started pirating any of their good content
The only scene throughout the entire season where I genuinely laughed out loud was in the 5th episode where the sheriff drives right at Velma and hits her with his car. I rewatched it many times after.
I've watched all your uploads of Velma multiple times already and they remain as funny as the first time.
Little Platoon, i love ya bud. I like how while talking trash on this show, you still showed restraint and when doing the self insert bit in the beginning, you used the NICEST, most generous photo of Mindy that you could. She is INCREDIBLY haggard looking conpared to that photo you used lol. Its absolutely revolting
11:18 A photographer named Anne Geddes did this in the 1990s, with surprising success.🤓
I would rather be interrogated by Russian police than hear Mindy's voice as Velma for 2 hours 😢
Some character design reminds me of Doonsbury. Anybody remember that comic strip?
What, they still run it? Oh, dear.
kudos to the editor ^_^
The writing on this video is fantastic. There is humor, more so then in the show itself. You manage to reuse the showwriter's modus operandi (meta-humor) but make it good and funny. This so meta it needs to be pointed at.
thank you for the entertainment.
i'd ask for a season two breakdown, but i'm not that selfish. So i'll say this: if somehow you find it entertaining or "chalenging" to exercise in this kind of writing/meta-writing, then by all means go for it; but if the experience was painful, as the show seems to be, thus you do not wish to watch s02,that's ok too.
thanks again.
"I'm back from the re-education camp"
thank you for lmao. truely.
Also I now think the seasonTwo needs to be done: your writing is perfect for the blue-pills deprogramming.
You're good at this, and they need it.
This would’ve looked way better had my editor got his hands on it, but it was just little old me back when these videos were first made. Thank you for the kind words! I’ll be looking at Season 2 once it releases later. There *may* be a video, but we shall see!
One episode of The Venture Bros was a much better parody of Scooby Doo than what the writers of that series would have been able to create given decades to refine the script.
44:45 is it me or did lower decks make a better therapist character in the form of Mr Miglimoo...... And he's entirely comic relief.
The intelligence of all characters is randomly randomised multiple times each episode.
The fact that you reluctantly but brilliantly covered this abomination and to come back to this to torture us all over again makes my sphincter queef 😂😂😂 with that said, please,sir, may I have another?? 😊😊😊😊
I love when my favorite UA-camr posts reuploads! More slop for the trough please!
YOU MAD MAN, How did you suvive that how can you sit thru all that SHIT?!
BIG THANKS !
