Watch LBD without commentary: • Happiness in the Pursu...
Subtitles (and opinions) by Sophie Lesher
Y'all talk about Charlotte just being hangry like it was no big deal, which looking back is true, but I remember this episode becoming such a huge thing in the fan community because no one knew how Collins was going to be adapted, so everyone thought this was the beginning of a massive fall-out between Lizzie and Charlotte. And after what felt like days of pestering on Twitter, the official Charlotte Lucas account had to make a statement like, "guys, I was just hungry. Lizzie and I aren't really fighting."
Ha! I don't know if I was aware of that at the time but if I was I'd forgotten.
Little did I know when I left that comment that I have actually become Charlotte: "I'm 27 years old, I've no money and no prospects. I'm already a burden to my parents."
I love the little factoid that the bar was an attempt at product placement. I always just thought "wow Charlotte is just like me and keeps a half eaten energy bar in her purse for when she gets hangry!"
I also always have snacks 😂
I really love the way this Lizzie/Charlotte arc captures how you can be best friends with someone and still not fully understand each other sometimes, or like you might start out in agreement on something, but later in life someone changes their mind, and you grow to have different viewpoints. It added an extra wrench if you've been through a friend fight like that.
Also, this was definitely in one of the top comments on the episode itself, but whenever I watch this I also can't get the the blooper out of my head where you say "I've been thinking about the pleasure of a pair of...boobs." 😂 Also when you're singing "The Lizzie Bennet Diaries" over and over. I may or may not do that when I'm pulling the show up for a rewatch.
There is a very practical edge to her "I know you want to talk about theory and meta but I WAS PROMISED FOOD, where is the food?" Been there!
Food is super important
Great point about Lizzie... She is mad when her mother wants her to be married and cannot see how much she wants everyone else to do things her way. Unfortunately I have this tendency too and now I'm thinking "maybe this is why I hate it when people do that to me"... Oh boy.
It's funny, I was just at my brother's wedding and one of the things I can't help acknowledging is, while we have never got along and we view each other as completely different people, we are also very similar.
Whether you love them or hate them, somehow by accident you can become them. Either if you don't want too.
for some reason "Don't do it! uh uhhh!" lives in my head hent free lol along with "those cats you've seen!!"
Even if you can't really see the label on the bar, Quest Nutrition did comment on the video!
I have wondered about the snack bar only because I think it stands out as the only (?) time someone eats on the show. But it fits with the hungry/stressed vibe Charlotte is giving off.
Wow you're forgetting some really iconic eating I'll be doing in a future episode....
@@TheAshleyClements oh what....... no, green been jelly!?! xD
Weirdest part is that I was just eating a Quest bar before watching this….
😂😂😂
I always remember this episode as the one with the blooper video! (On hankschannel, I think?) I always liked to pretend they were Lizzie bloopers and not Ashley bloopers :)
To answer the question in the description, yes; I've been eating lunch while I watch this, so I was hungry when I started. Now I'm feeling significantly better.
Also, I'm supposed to be working right now on an application to an annual writing program, whose submission deadline is... the end of today. (Yeah. Just taking a quick lunch break.) I applied to this same program last year, and even though they said they liked my writing style, they rejected me, and didn't explain why. I would have liked to know what they wanted me to do better, so I could have worked specifically on improving whatever it was.
So, as I'm working on this same application again, I do relate to half of what Charlotte says: you can't predict success, at least not when it comes to reaching your original goals. In my personal example, I have control over how I use my ability, how I work to improve upon it, and how much time and effort I put into this endeavour. But things that are outside my control are how many other people apply for this same program, how talented they are, what the judges are looking for, and whether the thing I've written magically lands in the cultural zeitgeist, just perfectly.
There's a possibility that today that I will submit the best work out of everyone who applies, and yet I'll still get rejected. Success in this goal is beyond my ability to predict or control. But so long as the deeper goals are, "Keep writing, and get more people to see my work," and maybe, "Try to make this a full-time job eventually," then failure at my attempts doesn't mean that I've failed at success. That much, I can continue striving for, even if I need to come up with different goals to get there.
...
In short, this is to say, Charlotte has a point, but so does Lizzie. And I know that sounds like a cop-out, but this is what I've found to be true in my experience.
(OK. I need to get back to work now.)
Good luck for your application! I didn't get into one and am a little sore about it. You seem like you're really philosophical about it. I admire that.
@@francesduncandoes Thank you! The application went ok, even if I hate the bureaucratic paperwork part. Just need to wait for evaluation now.
And by the way, a lot of my outlook towards success and failure comes with help from therapists I've talked to. In fact, my most recent appointment was two days ago, and that was one of the things we discussed, while I was telling him about certain setbacks that have been causing stress and mental health episodes. So, we can thank those psychology professionals for teaching me that.
Once again, the intro is cracking me up! I always have random cereal bars in my bags - my brother and I have food allergies and my mum never wanted us to go hungry so instilled the need to carry snacks ourselves around this time - so it never occurred to me that this was a product placement!
This is the first show where we see that Charlotte obviously has problems going on that Lizzie doesn't know about. We eventually find out the problems are financial, which is why Charlotte quits grad school and takes the job with Collins.
Remember when the comments of this episode were speculating that Charlotte was pregnant, hence why she was hungry and moody?
I never heard that!
you could say that you two have known each other since you were (basically) fetuses. fetii?
