i’m gonna need y’all to realize that when i said Black Mirror is better than AHS, that doesn’t inherently mean Black Mirror was the first to do a Horror Anthology Show. In fact AHS and BM came out in the same year so that’s why i drew that comparison.
Not only that, but rubber REQUIRES before and after care that a normal teenager has zero idea about. Yet, the costume fits her perfectly and cleanly every time.
I honestly thought that he would do better in short format. It seems that he doesn't lack for ideas, what most seasons of the original AHS struggle with is taking a good premise and stretching it to 10-13 episodes. The only worthwhile episodes are the first two and the last episode. Everything in between is just boring filler. Stories could actually serve him well, and it does for the most part. The biggest problem is the poor quality, direction and acting. It seems slapped together, making even the good stories in there seem bad because they are just poorly executed. I think Ryan Murphy actually benefits from a shorter run time if he had the focus to pull it off. He's just spread too thin to make sure any one single production is the quality it should be.
I thiught it could work because during Glee and AHS, Ryan struggled with delivering a good payoff for the premise that he sets up. I think he has a similar problem to Marlene King in PLL, where they set up a bunch of cool stuff but they can't find a way to close the story in a compelling and cohesive way.
Ryan Murphy is like a child who spent to much time on tumblr, he can give u amazing effects and vibes and atmospheres, but when it comes to storytelling he’s like a lil girl playing with her Barbies, make the story as she goes, in the most random and spontaneous directions possible with very little common sense.
Other thing, the Rubber costume wans't possesed, it was bought by Zachary Quinto's character as a way to save his marriage, then later used by Tate as a disguise, and since Michael Langdon doens't exist in this timeline, in theory, there is no greater evil in the house influencing people, then why the girl gets turned from edgy teen to killer while putting the costume, and if this is MH, why is any of the ghosts doing something to scared them of, was not what they did in the end of season one, is because none of the original actors wanted something to do with this show, seriously, Ryan Murphy needs to know a thing called recast.
even in apocalypse the RM seems to be possessed by something other than Langdon…i think he said it’s the devil or another demon that uses it but i dont know how that works.
@@cainvarnerNo one does because Ryan doesn’t know how to write coherent plots. Even American Horror Story always has massive plot holes and rushed horrible endings, even if the first half of the season is good. There has never been a single season that had a fully satisfying, unrushed ending. They always have so many open plot lines by the end, is one of the major reasons. TLDR: Yeah because the writers never bothered to explain it, it’s just a “mystery”
they were trying to capitalize on a market that had already died down unfortunately. while AHS skyrocketed because of the early 2010s tumblr edgelords. but when used in 2021, that aesthetic is just so out of place. most of them are in their late 20s and 30s now so the whole tate and violet type relationship being reused definitely doesn’t hit for them anymore.
This popped up in my recommended, and I'm so happy it did. The whole video carries the vibe of sitting on a porch sipping something cold and fizzy out of a can while my very southern friend tells me the gossip of people I've never heard of from a school I don't go to. Thank you for making this video!
If you thought the first two episodes of American Horror Stories were bad, wait until you see the Milkmaids episode! My only explanation for that is I guess Our Lady J was on a tight deadline, so she wrote down the first things she thought of, handed the script to Ryan Murphy at the 11th hour, and his only feedback was, "Make it gayer."
i honestly didn’t mind that one if it’s the one i’m thinking of. i thought the cinematography was much better in S2. dont really remember the story all that much. but the second season i remember being miles better than S1
@@cainvarner S2 was better overall, except for that one episode. It's the one with the lesbian milkmaids who are also witches and there's this plague and a bunch of holier-than-thou Christians. Like I said, it felt like Our Lady J just wrote the first things that came to her head.
Love the video, the edits you did were so funny!! And everyday I feel more and more suspicious of Ryan Murphy bc wtf is this shit having a 16 year old girl like male gazed in the rubber suit AND having a scene of her m*sturbating 💀 and then his excuse for it is childhood trauma as serious as kidnapping but that's the ONLY time it's mentioned?! Like how exploitative is that bro 💀💀💀 I loved you comparing scenes also! That comparison of the characters realizing they're dead and stuck in the house REALLY highlights the difference in acting ability and tone. Taissa Farmiga looks DEVASTATED when she realizes she's stuck, the real palpable expression of confusion but also full emotional breakdown really shows you how this kind of revelation would be mind boggling. Meanwhile the two dads are yelling at each other APOLOGIES after just witnessing murder like is this the time?? And then when they realize they just stare and gawk at each other like wtf 💀 like yes Violet being a volatile teenager plays into her specific reaction but seriously what does that scene tell me about the dads absolutely nothing. From the absolutely tired ass storyline with the mean girls and forced lesbians to the absolutely unnecessary and ridiculous?? Idea that even a corrupt contractor would think a bj is equivalent to the pay required to completely renovate a home from the 20s?! Like wtf were the writers fucking smoking bro I can't handle it
omg my exact thoughts about the realization scene. like it’s just played for laughs in Stories. in AHS it was an actual twists and acted to perfection. I miss when Ryan cared.
My bf and I mistakenly watched the first episodes of this instead of the original AHS and were so confused the entire time because we heard the first season was good. We then realized but pushed through both episodes but it was soooo bad the further we went in. My bf was laughing at it but it just made irrationally angry.
omgggg that probably horribly ruined your first impressions of the true show, fuck!! i hope it didn’t totally ruin the first season for you? or maybe instead it worked as a sort of palate cleanser for the trash you sat thru lol? so maybe you actually got lucky… props to you though cuz i’m an ahs superfan and i couldn’t watch 5 mins of the spinoff :-/
@@ihatemickiegeethankfully we did end up watching s1 of AHS and quite enjoyed it, but that couldn't have been too hard after the shit show of amerrican horror stories lol
i wanted to comment on it but i didn’t wanna make it seem like the only thing i liked about her was the hair and costumes bc she’s supposed to be 16. but yes the bob slayed. i think had the script been better, her acting would’ve as well.
Omgggggg I love this format/editing/etc for these shorter/season non specific vids. Love it! Thank you for covering all these things I just....can't bring myself to bother with and doing it with such ✨️style✨️
Matt Bomer is a fantastic actor, it’s definitely the writing in his case. Please do the rest of this series. I wanna hear your take on the fucking video game episode.
Why is does every revisit to the murder house flop when they had the blueprint RIGHT THERE. So many things bother me like the fact they want us to believe there’s this many homophobic TEENAGERS in LA in the modern times and they’re pulling a 2000s level cruel bullying prank like it’s so clear the writers are out of touch with the times
This whole two-parter was just "what if we took a Wattpad fanfic of season one and made it into a show". It's also amazing how Scarlet and Ruby (which just, lmao) feel like gay guy characters written by a fujoshi...but then turned into lesbians and actually written by a gay man. Just an absolute mess. Also, I generally love Matt Bomer but it was pretty clear even he knew what a steaming pile this was and decided to give us nothing. Not that I blame him though...
AHS turned from an annual treat among my friends to a private hate watch I can't discuss with anyone bc no one else can make it through. The episode Necro is almost made me quit the series
Thank you for this. I hated the first two episodes of American Horror Stories and was about to write the series off as a flop trying to recapture the magic of the other seasons. This was such a cathartic watch. You had so many hot takes.
I tried watching these one time and fell asleep partway through the first episode, not meaning to, and my roommate came in to get me for some plans we had made. He was genuinely surprised that he had to wake me up from something like that 🤣
There were a couple enjoyable episodes of American Horror Stories (“Feral,” “Ba’al,” “and “The Naughty List” - nowhere near the quality of early AHS, but still fun), but the entire premise of the series was ruined by the fact that almost half of the season was dedicated to this awful storyline
I watched this episode because Dad 2 and The Contractor are played by Broadway actors that I really like. Needless to say I was regretting that choice every single second that this absolute mess continued
Gonna comment for the algorithm. I do also want to say don’t listen to the immature people comparing channels. No video concept is gonna be fully original. You are fully welcome to do the art/production that inspires you and gives us content. You are taking the time and effort to do these videos while we sit on our butts to enjoy. Yet somehow people have the audacity to criticize you for harmless free content. Thank you❤!
I considered quitting the show during 2021 omg. i just got done rewatching the drive in episode and it was so much worse than these 😭😭😭. literally cannot even call it camp because it’s just that bad. the only episode this season that was decent was BA’AL and even that was like just a 7/10
@@SkylerGaetano not even John Carroll Lynch could save it 😭😭😭 i will say i think the Santa one was way worse acting wise but i haven’t rewatched in a while so i dont know 🫣🫣
whats so funny is american horror stories was my first full intro to the ahs-verse (the first ep scared me when i tried to watch it a couple of years ago), and now that ive watched up to season 4 of american horror story, its like wow, im so glad i started off with the worse one because i couldn't be disappointed that way
My favorite part of this spin-off is how it was supposed to be separate stories unrelated to the main series and then they started AND ended it with Murder House like wtf Murphy
I tried so hard to get the hype of AHS. I started at murder house and didn't finish the season because I was so bored. So knowing NOTHING about anything in this series, someone please explain to me why a 16 yro girl would find a USED gimp suit and her first response is to put it on??????? MULTIPLE TIMES????? Is scary gimp suit man just that powerful????
If whats-her-face the model wanted Scarlet to stay in the house to be with her..... just kill *her.* Why would you go after her dads hoping she'd just stick around and never move on? She could've just killed *Scarlet* and then she'd be unable to leave, and as a result she'd be even more emotionally distraught and susceptible to Ruby(?) coming in with lovebombing & manipulation! But considering they used "Oh she was kidnapped as a kid" as a reason she's into heavy kink (without including ANY OTHER symptoms of such a PROFOUND trauma), something tells me they don't care to get into their actual psychological states and effects on these characters. There's potential for her to be a flawed fucked up character who starts as an aggressor and becomes a victim of this house ghost. But they didn't do that. They just wanted some shots of a girl in a rubber suit killing other girls because "they're mean bitches." Ugh. Would've been way more compelling if those girls really were trying to be her friend and were maybe bitchy and sassy but well intentioned (not trying to out & shame her ffs), but she mistook their actions as mocking & decided to get revenge in an overblown way that reflects her own mental instability from her trauma being dredged up by ghost girl. Maybe even seeing those girls as a proxy of her kidnapper and feeling like she's justified and getting revenge on said kidnapper, because "They're just like him. They're the same." Based on only a few similar sentences said, or a few similar movements, or maybe the kidnapper was sassy and kinda rude, and these girls imitated that demeanor and it triggered Scarlet, but she's not mature enough to recognize that in the state she's in, especially with ghost girl egging her on. But nooooo. AHSs said nah, we only want puddle-deep aeesthetic bait that reads like it's written by a 13 year old on Wattpad.
Please please please turn American Horror Stories into a series on your channel. I just discovered you from this video showing up in my recommended, but I have already sent this link to all of my friends who watched AHS and subscribed. Love your comedy, editing and general vibe.
My theory is that the contractor (Adam?) was introduced because actor Aaron Tveit (Broadway heartthrob) and Gavin Creel (blonde dad character, also a Broadway girly) were dating at the time
Am I the only one who loves the recycled themes 😂 I love the stereotypical repeated “broken family, moody teen, move into a haunted house” plot with new characters. I think I’m basic. I’m content with this. I see people saying that everything between the first two episodes and the finale of the non-anthology full series AHS was just boring filler but I never felt that way at all. I thought every episode across each season was worthwhile. I haven’t watched the AHS(ies) because I’m not sure I’d love the anthology of it all so this is helping me feel that out. I like horror anthology shows like Are You Afraid of the Dark and The Haunting Hour so it’s not a general distaste of the format.
And I thought it couldn't get worse than Apocalypse but some of these American Horror Stories Episodes really take the cake. At least the demon one was half decent.
i watched this for aaron tveit (adam) and was excited when i saw matt bomer (how do u make that good of an actor seem terrible) , and oh man i had the same reaction . such a painful watch i completely forgot about it until now
Hi quick comment about the Murder House I live in that neighborhood,and that house had been purchased by different owners at this point. They could have redone the inside of the beautiful Victorian homes in our neighborhood. Interestingly enough it was bought by a surgeon 😂. So it could be a mixture of home renovations as well as just not amazing cinematography
yeah idek if they’re allowed to film inside anymore. i heard they used sets for certain rooms because the house is privately owned after a certain year. i could be wrong though.
*Me, seeing Scarlet on the thumbnail and reading "the worst episode of TV I've ever watche.." "Yeah.. I mean Game Over was pretty all over the place with some really huge flaws, but it still had some interesting ideas..." *Reads the title and realizes that this is referring to the first 2 episodes.. Wait! No! Don't you hurt my first 2 AHStories episodes! I love my positive killer representation! This also felt like the ideas they didn't use for AHS season 1.. and it did have the atmosphere for me, with the right amount of fan service. This was made for me, okay! :D
Some of the OG Murder House Cast were busy, and Evan Peters has aged over the 10yr not passing for a teenager. My unofficial opinion is that most of the people who work with Ryan Murphy like him. I am sure some of them would come back.
at least at the end of murder house we see the realism in everyone’s misery of being stuck together- tate realizing he fucked up everything with violet and now has to beg for her forgiveness, her having to live with someone she loved who it turns out was a stranger to her in the worst way, the parents being stuck together too despite wife now hating husband, them all being stuck with the other fellow people who destroyed their lives lol. one of the shitty parts of the anthology was trying to make us feel like we were supposed to care at all about not only the characters in general, but in them having a happily ever after? i mean jesus ryan get a grip!! he was starting to redeem some of the bad stuff with this recent season, i thought the gaslighty characters and whatnot were all very convincing and conniving, and then it cuts at the halfway point cuz of the sag aftra strike!!!? now idk how long we’re gonna have to wait but i’m pretty pissed abt it ngl :-)
The worst part of this episode was the way it utterly called me out, because I was a teenage girl watching extremely violent porn and watching the therapist scene I was aghast like damn you really had to come for all like 10 of us specifically like that????
i s2g i came in while my mom was watching this (i was not) (have not been able to watch ahs since asylum) and i think this was the strangest thing to see ten minutes of out of context.
i’m gonna need y’all to realize that when i said Black Mirror is better than AHS, that doesn’t inherently mean Black Mirror was the first to do a Horror Anthology Show. In fact AHS and BM came out in the same year so that’s why i drew that comparison.
First horror anthology show? Tales from the crypt would like a word lol.
@@jaytee12621 re read my comment. i said it’s NOT the first show do to such a concept and do it well.
@@cainvarner whoops my bad, completely misread it lol
the idea of randomly putting on a rubber suit you find in a basement is hilarious like girl that shit's gonna be nasty
Not only that, but rubber REQUIRES before and after care that a normal teenager has zero idea about. Yet, the costume fits her perfectly and cleanly every time.
@@Blast2224she's not normal. very much 🫠We are the weirdos mister
I dont know why someone who is famous for struggling to make a cohesive and complete story in 10-12 episodes thought he could do well with 1 hour
I honestly thought that he would do better in short format. It seems that he doesn't lack for ideas, what most seasons of the original AHS struggle with is taking a good premise and stretching it to 10-13 episodes.

Are you kidding that sounds like it would be the easiest thing in the world. More time makes things more complicated, not less.
The show thats based on the premise "ONE STORY PER EPISODE" begins with a two parter...
And the last episode of the season ties back to the first two episodes 💀
the girls being named violet and scarlet is so funny pick your side like pokémon ❤
YES!
Except with Pokémon - scarlet is better…. Def not in the case of this show though! 😂
I guess Ill pick scarlet again like the games lol
Ha ha ha ha
I have a Charizard tattoo and I approved this comment!
Ryan Murphy has been slowly making an enemy out of me for years and American Horror Stories was my LAST straw. He is my nemesis.
The girlies looking full 30 years old in this while Taissa Farmiga actually looked like a teenager back in murder house is so funny to me.
tbf i think taissa actually WAS a teenager
I think she was like 16 or smth in murder house and 18 in Coven
Ty for watching these so I don’t have to. Ryan Murphy when I catch you
Ryan Murphy is like a child who spent to much time on tumblr, he can give u amazing effects and vibes and atmospheres, but when it comes to storytelling he’s like a lil girl playing with her Barbies, make the story as she goes, in the most random and spontaneous directions possible with very little common sense.
This actually is an excellent assumption; that is absolutely what it feels like sometimes!
Their names are Scarlet and Ruby. I can’t.
and violet as the original mh girlie. like wtaf lmao
American Horror Stories is just the plots the writers couldn't stretch out into a whole season.
They’re like what the new Goosebumps show should have been… but VERY BAD for AHS standards
That’s impressive since half the plots of the main show barely stretch that long
Ryan Murphy can’t admit that the concepts were missing plot lol
the second season is decent but this first one was definitely media that i consumed!
@@cainvarner agreed! Second season I enjoyed

Is scary gimp suit man just that powerful????
a TERRIBLE introduction to a BRILLIANT series!
If whats-her-face the model wanted Scarlet to stay in the house to be with her..... just kill *her.* Why would you go after her dads hoping she'd just stick around and never move on? She could've just killed *Scarlet* and then she'd be unable to leave, and as a result she'd be even more emotionally distraught and susceptible to Ruby(?) coming in with lovebombing & manipulation!
But considering they used "Oh she was kidnapped as a kid" as a reason she's into heavy kink (without including ANY OTHER symptoms of such a PROFOUND trauma), something tells me they don't care to get into their actual psychological states and effects on these characters. There's potential for her to be a flawed fucked up character who starts as an aggressor and becomes a victim of this house ghost. But they didn't do that. They just wanted some shots of a girl in a rubber suit killing other girls because "they're mean bitches." Ugh. Would've been way more compelling if those girls really were trying to be her friend and were maybe bitchy and sassy but well intentioned (not trying to out & shame her ffs), but she mistook their actions as mocking & decided to get revenge in an overblown way that reflects her own mental instability from her trauma being dredged up by ghost girl. Maybe even seeing those girls as a proxy of her kidnapper and feeling like she's justified and getting revenge on said kidnapper, because "They're just like him. They're the same." Based on only a few similar sentences said, or a few similar movements, or maybe the kidnapper was sassy and kinda rude, and these girls imitated that demeanor and it triggered Scarlet, but she's not mature enough to recognize that in the state she's in, especially with ghost girl egging her on.
But nooooo. AHSs said nah, we only want puddle-deep aeesthetic bait that reads like it's written by a 13 year old on Wattpad.
Pleaseeee do the rest because I do not plan on watching this series at all and I’m 100% certain your recaps will be infinitely more entertaining
Please please please turn American Horror Stories into a series on your channel.
I just discovered you from this video showing up in my recommended, but I have already sent this link to all of my friends who watched AHS and subscribed. Love your comedy, editing and general vibe.
aww thank you :) i am working on it!
A scary Air B&B? You mean a... Scare B&B?
I'll see myself out.
that’s what they call it in the show haha
This video is so funny! Thank you I’ve been curious about this series
My theory is that the contractor (Adam?) was introduced because actor Aaron Tveit (Broadway heartthrob) and Gavin Creel (blonde dad character, also a Broadway girly) were dating at the time
i NEED to see your breakdown of the last episode of season 1 of american horror stories. by far one of the worst episodes of television i’ve ever seen
oh it’s worse i know. idk if i should change this title
Just subscribed man,people just can't let something be sometimes and it's such a drag.
FINALLY some love for NYC. Something about NYC just hit me really hard
ANOTHER CAIN SLAY
Am I the only one who loves the recycled themes 😂 I love the stereotypical repeated “broken family, moody teen, move into a haunted house” plot with new characters. I think I’m basic. I’m content with this. I see people saying that everything between the first two episodes and the finale of the non-anthology full series AHS was just boring filler but I never felt that way at all. I thought every episode across each season was worthwhile. I haven’t watched the AHS(ies) because I’m not sure I’d love the anthology of it all so this is helping me feel that out. I like horror anthology shows like Are You Afraid of the Dark and The Haunting Hour so it’s not a general distaste of the format.
This definitely should be a series
Thanks Twink, now I don’t have to watch these
when did it become acceptable to call people slurs. Please don’t call me that
And I thought it couldn't get worse than Apocalypse but some of these American Horror Stories Episodes really take the cake. At least the demon one was half decent.
i watched this for aaron tveit (adam) and was excited when i saw matt bomer (how do u make that good of an actor seem terrible) , and oh man i had the same reaction . such a painful watch i completely forgot about it until now
The bangs are the horror story
Hi quick comment about the Murder House I live in that neighborhood,and that house had been purchased by different owners at this point. They could have redone the inside of the beautiful Victorian homes in our neighborhood. Interestingly enough it was bought by a surgeon 😂. So it could be a mixture of home renovations as well as just not amazing cinematography
yeah idek if they’re allowed to film inside anymore. i heard they used sets for certain rooms because the house is privately owned after a certain year. i could be wrong though.
Just found your channel and I have never subscribed to someone so fast!
I totally forgot about this, I think I watched the first episode, hated it, and blocked out the memory
i love this video you haveeee to cover more omg
One of the worst seasons of tv ever created, but the worst ep had to be the video game ep. Literally made no sense
*Me, seeing Scarlet on the thumbnail and reading "the worst episode of TV I've ever watche.."
"Yeah.. I mean Game Over was pretty all over the place with some really huge flaws, but it still had some interesting ideas..."
*Reads the title and realizes that this is referring to the first 2 episodes..
Wait! No! Don't you hurt my first 2 AHStories episodes! I love my positive killer representation! This also felt like the ideas they didn't use for AHS season 1.. and it did have the atmosphere for me, with the right amount of fan service. This was made for me, okay! :D
i forgot how bad this was 😭 but i would love a whole breakdown!
Some of the OG Murder House Cast were busy, and Evan Peters has aged over the 10yr not passing for a teenager.
My unofficial opinion is that most of the people who work with Ryan Murphy like him. I am sure some of them would come back.
at least at the end of murder house we see the realism in everyone’s misery of being stuck together- tate realizing he fucked up everything with violet and now has to beg for her forgiveness, her having to live with someone she loved who it turns out was a stranger to her in the worst way, the parents being stuck together too despite wife now hating husband, them all being stuck with the other fellow people who destroyed their lives lol. one of the shitty parts of the anthology was trying to make us feel like we were supposed to care at all about not only the characters in general, but in them having a happily ever after? i mean jesus ryan get a grip!!
he was starting to redeem some of the bad stuff with this recent season, i thought the gaslighty characters and whatnot were all very convincing and conniving, and then it cuts at the halfway point cuz of the sag aftra strike!!!? now idk how long we’re gonna have to wait but i’m pretty pissed abt it ngl :-)
it’s not his fault. he can’t control the strikes. pt 2 is out in april.
Dying to know your thoughts on the finale of American Horror Stories, cause...wow, that was like a fever dream
it’s worse 😭
Would love this to be a series on the channel!
The fact that their names are Scarlet and Violet has my eyes rolling. Are we playing Pokemon???
nice Ocean Blvd vinyl in the back
the intros are better than the episodes
Sounds like a very nice show to watch with the family
I only watched these episodes one time, but goddamn did i hate them. They really didnt do murder house justice at all 💀
not at all
Dark haired dad was in hotel I believe
yes he played donovan
The worst part of this episode was the way it utterly called me out, because I was a teenage girl watching extremely violent porn and watching the therapist scene I was aghast like damn you really had to come for all like 10 of us specifically like that????
I’d love a full breakdown so I don’t have to watch any of them to know lmao
i s2g i came in while my mom was watching this (i was not) (have not been able to watch ahs since asylum) and i think this was the strangest thing to see ten minutes of out of context.
Would love to see all of American horror stories 1 and 2 broken down
EPISODE BY EPISODE?? BLESS
Really love the opening!! I am so glad we can sht on these together bc they’re just so bad. So bad. ❤
Loving the hair and the setup babes!
