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.
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.
@@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.
"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.
@@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.
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.
@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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
- 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.
And if they made it live action it would just be another shitty teen drama the CW shat out. They could even keep the names and costumes--its pretty much an animated Riverdale already.
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.

@@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.
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.

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.
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.
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!
@@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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
It’s weird how much Mindy both hates Fred and wants to belittle him, but also wants him to love her and think of her as being beautiful. She both wants and hates the “white guy”. I’m sure someone’s already written some theory in psychology about this.
Look at the women who constantly rant about race and white men. More specifically look at their husbands/boyfriends. 99% of the time it’s the ones they rant about most.
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.
"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!"
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?
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.
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 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.
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.
Maybe, but they probably had no choice and were just doing it for the paycheck. Mindy and that guy (Charlie?) are the ones that deserve all of the hate.
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.
“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.
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."
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.
"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.
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.
Its not that people arent into indian women. They just arent into Mindy Kaling, and it couldnt be because they arent into HER, so she assumes it is because they dont like any indian women.
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!
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.
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!
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've watched HOURS AND HOURS of Plat...AND HOURS! SO MANY HOURS! Today, as I wait to hear his take on the finale of The Acolyte and also wait on my MMO to complete maintenance, I heard what is, in my opinion, easily the most brilliant thing he's ever said. It happens at 25:22 and refers to what Plat calls a gender woo woo joke and the pretzel the writers' twisted them into following their thought process on the gender issue. "It's a joke so ashamed of itself that it doesn't let itself finish but so obsessed with itself that it can't not begin." Chef's kiss!

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.
39:10 Imagine you are taking a trip to the Pacific Northwest. You plan to hike the mountain trails. There are bears in that part of the country. If you go hiking, you might meet one. If that happens, you will be completely in the power of that animal. If it wants to kill you, you're dead. Is it your fault you wanted to take a vacation? No, that's a great idea. Is it your fault you wanted to travel and hike? No, getting out there is healthy, satisfying, and a great way to blow the cobwebs off your life. Is it your fault bears exist? No, you don't control evolution or migration patterns. If you meet a bear, is it your fault? No, you can't be expected to know their exact positions. If the bear mauls/kills you, is it your fault? No, you ultimately do not control what the bear does. Is it your fault the bear is stronger? No. So, there is no blame on you for encountering a bear, regardless of outcome. None, zip, zero. Got it? However, you are aware that bears are a danger. You are also aware there are things you can learn to improve your odds if you do meet a bear. Certain colors not to wear, certain gestures to avoid, certain types of food not to carry, and so forth. Learning these techniques and following them greatly improves your chances of a bear encounter ending well for you. Let's consider instruction and ursine morality. There are three possibilities: 1) Feminism is correct. Bears, i.e. men, are 100% evil 100% of the time. No amount of instruction will ever improve bear behavior, because evil just doesn't care. In this scenario, it benefits you to learn self-preservation. 2) The objective reality we live in. Basic moral instruction reaches the vast majority of the population. Bears, i.e. men are occasionally a threat, but usually not. Because this is reality, we acknowledge that no amount of instruction will ever work on 100% of the population. Sometimes you're simply going to have an evil bear. In this scenario, it benefits you to learn self-preservation. 3) Feminist wish fulfillment, i.e. "teach men not to rpae," whatever that means. Bears, i.e. men are now 100% moral. Whether we got there through killing all bears, or unimaginably rigorous instruction, or a draconian punishment system is irrelevant. _You still have to live with the possibility that your system might not be perfect._ What if somewhere a bear escaped genocide, or didn't respond even when instruction was insanely thorough, or somehow escaped punishment? You can never be 100% sure. In this scenario, it benefits you to learn self-preservation. In every scenario, self-preservation instruction is potentially of benefit to you. In none of them is there no potential benefit. Without taking any blame whatsoever onto yourself, there are things you should do if you have even an iota of self-preservation instinct. *"Don't tell me to learn self-preservation" is a shit-tier argument put forth by petulant little girls.* To know danger exists and respond only by screeching that it shouldn't is unworthy of the ten minutes I spent typing this.
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 liked the clips I saw! Just sucks that it ended up being mostly about Wade. The animation looked great, and I’ve gotten pretty attached to Movie Knuckles. I don’t get what people really see in that police guy. He seems nice, but he’s boring. I don’t understand why Knuckles’s chief wanted him to train him either. It’s really a shame because if they just changed the plot to maybe Knuckles adjusting to Earth it would’ve been a lot better.
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
1:24:34 I just caught it in this video, but Daphne actually has what looks like a Hex Girls poster in her room! It doesn't have their faces but it feels even more gauling given what happened to Thorn.

This is another example of the hard work you put into your videos, LP. IT makes it enjoyable to watch and to rewatch, and makes you, my friend, my favorite UA-camr. Take good care of yourself.
_"You devoted so much of your life to it; You poured your metaphorical savings into it only for the payoff to be so much worse than nothing."_ 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.
One thing I really enjoy in these long form critiques is when comparisons are provided for a trope where other IPs have done it well (one example being Mauler’s Asoka video, where he compared scenes from Futurama and Buffy to the ‘world between worlds’ thing). Hence, I would like to add one. In episode 2 you mention Fred’s defense in court is that he is too stupid to have committed the crime. Red Dwarf did this incredibly well in Season 4 Episode 3 “Justice”. Brief synopsis is that on arriving to Justice World the crew’s minds are scanned for any illegal activity and they are judged on their transgressions. Rimmer is imprisoned because he believes he is responsible for the death of the crew of Red Dwarf. Kryten proves his innocence by explaining that Rimmer’s narcissistic and delusional severely inflated ego convinced him that he is responsible, but in reality he was the second lowest ranking person on the whole ship and basically a nobody and therefore couldn’t possibly be responsible. The episode is hilarious and plays on Rimmer’s established negative personality traits. Yet another example of better writers from 30 years ago executing a concept to near perfection that today’s hacks can’t pull off. Also, love your work!
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.
oh boy , 2 + hours of educated commentary to listen to while farming on FF14 the next couple days, what a joy this is!

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.

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.

@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.

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
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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
Sounds like a bad joke but with extra steps
UA-camrs say "My voice sounds like shit" and I can never tell the difference

It’s weird how much Mindy both hates Fred and wants to belittle him, but also wants him to love her and think of her as being beautiful. She both wants and hates the “white guy”. I’m sure someone’s already written some theory in psychology about this.
Look at the women who constantly rant about race and white men. More specifically look at their husbands/boyfriends. 99% of the time it’s the ones they rant about most.
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.
"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.

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.
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.
Maybe, but they probably had no choice and were just doing it for the paycheck. Mindy and that guy (Charlie?) are the ones that deserve all of the hate.
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?

“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.
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."
The intelligence of all characters is randomly randomised multiple times each episode.
April is the cruelest month, Mindy Kaling out of the dead land, mixing feminism and desire, stirring dull jokes with spring pain
Jeez
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.
"Mao did more good than Harm."
Her mouth uttered a biological disaster and my ears are bleeding.
Velma trying to turn Fred into a feminist only to reject him after she succeeds is the most realistic plot line a cartoon has ever had.

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.
3:54 Just a reminder that all of the characters are minors in this scene
Props for mentioning Battlestar Galactica. I was immenesely disappointed by the last seasons, especially the finale.
39:10 Imagine you are taking a trip to the Pacific Northwest. You plan to hike the mountain trails. There are bears in that part of the country. If you go hiking, you might meet one. If that happens, you will be completely in the power of that animal. If it wants to kill you, you're dead.
Is it your fault you wanted to take a vacation? No, that's a great idea.
Is it your fault you wanted to travel and hike? No, getting out there is healthy, satisfying, and a great way to blow the cobwebs off your life.
Is it your fault bears exist? No, you don't control evolution or migration patterns.
If you meet a bear, is it your fault? No, you can't be expected to know their exact positions.
If the bear mauls/kills you, is it your fault? No, you ultimately do not control what the bear does.
Is it your fault the bear is stronger? No.
So, there is no blame on you for encountering a bear, regardless of outcome. None, zip, zero. Got it?
However, you are aware that bears are a danger. You are also aware there are things you can learn to improve your odds if you do meet a bear. Certain colors not to wear, certain gestures to avoid, certain types of food not to carry, and so forth. Learning these techniques and following them greatly improves your chances of a bear encounter ending well for you.
Let's consider instruction and ursine morality. There are three possibilities:
1) Feminism is correct. Bears, i.e. men, are 100% evil 100% of the time. No amount of instruction will ever improve bear behavior, because evil just doesn't care. In this scenario, it benefits you to learn self-preservation.
2) The objective reality we live in. Basic moral instruction reaches the vast majority of the population. Bears, i.e. men are occasionally a threat, but usually not. Because this is reality, we acknowledge that no amount of instruction will ever work on 100% of the population. Sometimes you're simply going to have an evil bear. In this scenario, it benefits you to learn self-preservation.
3) Feminist wish fulfillment, i.e. "teach men not to rpae," whatever that means. Bears, i.e. men are now 100% moral. Whether we got there through killing all bears, or unimaginably rigorous instruction, or a draconian punishment system is irrelevant. _You still have to live with the possibility that your system might not be perfect._ What if somewhere a bear escaped genocide, or didn't respond even when instruction was insanely thorough, or somehow escaped punishment? You can never be 100% sure. In this scenario, it benefits you to learn self-preservation.
In every scenario, self-preservation instruction is potentially of benefit to you. In none of them is there no potential benefit. Without taking any blame whatsoever onto yourself, there are things you should do if you have even an iota of self-preservation instinct.
*"Don't tell me to learn self-preservation" is a shit-tier argument put forth by petulant little girls.* To know danger exists and respond only by screeching that it shouldn't is unworthy of the ten minutes I spent typing this.
Platoon's voice at the beginning of the video made me question my preferences... Nicely done, Platoon's cold!
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 liked the clips I saw! Just sucks that it ended up being mostly about Wade. The animation looked great, and I’ve gotten pretty attached to Movie Knuckles. I don’t get what people really see in that police guy. He seems nice, but he’s boring. I don’t understand why Knuckles’s chief wanted him to train him either. It’s really a shame because if they just changed the plot to maybe Knuckles adjusting to Earth it would’ve been a lot better.

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.
I always knew she was a horrible witch but that's just terrifying she should be locked up at this point@georgeray1906
The Lee Pace anecdote is terrifying and I don't understand how anyone could laugh at it
Mindy Kaling must be one of the most astronomically hypocritical people in Hollywood. And that's really saying something.
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.
I like how you are playing Scooby Doo Mystery Mayhem in the background. Good game on the PS2 that actually respects the source material.
Thank you for watching that show for me. I look forward to your season 2 review.
This is another example of the hard work you put into your videos, LP. IT makes it enjoyable to watch and to rewatch, and makes you, my friend, my favorite UA-camr. Take good care of yourself.
I've watched all your uploads of Velma multiple times already and they remain as funny as the first time.
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.

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.
One thing I really enjoy in these long form critiques is when comparisons are provided for a trope where other IPs have done it well (one example being Mauler’s Asoka video, where he compared scenes from Futurama and Buffy to the ‘world between worlds’ thing). Hence, I would like to add one. In episode 2 you mention Fred’s defense in court is that he is too stupid to have committed the crime. Red Dwarf did this incredibly well in Season 4 Episode 3 “Justice”. Brief synopsis is that on arriving to Justice World the crew’s minds are scanned for any illegal activity and they are judged on their transgressions. Rimmer is imprisoned because he believes he is responsible for the death of the crew of Red Dwarf. Kryten proves his innocence by explaining that Rimmer’s narcissistic and delusional severely inflated ego convinced him that he is responsible, but in reality he was the second lowest ranking person on the whole ship and basically a nobody and therefore couldn’t possibly be responsible. The episode is hilarious and plays on Rimmer’s established negative personality traits. Yet another example of better writers from 30 years ago executing a concept to near perfection that today’s hacks can’t pull off. Also, love your work!
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.
it's hard to make a show that oozes so much bitterness and hatred for "the other"
oh boy , 2 + hours of educated commentary to listen to while farming on FF14 the next couple days, what a joy this is! Cheers to you , your editor and whomever was involved in the production of this video (including whatever brand of liquid courage any of you had to drink while creating this) I wish you a good day and a nice healthy recovery . Get well ! 😷
Thank you for your sacrifce Little Platoon and thank your editors for having to shift this shitshow for scenes.
Glad the supercut is getting good traction already. Good stuff
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?? 😊😊😊😊
