@@SergioLeonardoCornejo I'd have to agree, if you know yourself better with time you're less likely to make any grave mistakes. Mistakes in general aren't bad but it's good to recognize when you screw up so it's less likely to happen again.
In the past, I used to hate you, until I grew out of it and decided to give you another shot. Seeing that you're able to take the good with the bad and not be afraid to confront the past while poking fun at it demonstrates some good character on your part. Everyone's human, and I'm glad you're willing to be open about your mistakes. True positivity is about finding the good in the bad and persevering.
@@yusifudo46 This was back when Enter was initially popular and had more control over popular opinion; he basically shaped certain attitudes I felt were unjust. But overtime my philosophy changed and I matured some.
He really HAS grown and improved as a person, but sadly there are plenty of idiots who turn a blind eye to that to keep accusing him of shit he stopped doing YEARS ago. People on the internet LOVE doing that to anyone they don't like, in an attempt to discredit or slander them. I'm glad you acknowledged this, I think you've *also* grown, too. You know something I really find ironic? The same people who demand others change, are not only the ones who never *acknowledge* when they get what they want and their victims *do* change in a positive way, but they *themselves* are guilty of never changing, specifically *because* they refuse to acknowledge other people improve, and keep spouting their outdated opinions instead of updating their worldview to reflect the newer information and improvement in the character of others. I'm sure you find that hilariously ironic too.
@WinVirsten most people who hate Enter aren't the same people who hated him from years ago. They're Tumblr types who hate him now, it was edgy 4chan types who used to.
As an autistic person myself, I’m proud of you. I’ve been watching your channel since secondary school and still follow you today. Nobody’s a perfect saint or the best content creator but we use our mistakes to learn and to quote Meet the Robinsons, “Keep moving forward”.
Speaking of Disney, once he live streams again, I want to ask him what he thinks of animat and a lot of other peoples opinion that Chicken Little helped save Disney.
Fun Fact: Crimson Mayhem, the Editor mentioned at 23:13 has seen this Video and stated on Twitter that he forgives Enter. Good to know that it has already made a positive impact.
One thing I've always respected Mr. Enter for is his honesty. Even when I think something he says is fundamentally wrong or stupid, I can always count on him to be honest with his opinions. It's something he rarely falters on, and Animated Atrocities has given us a pretty good timeline of his opinions and how they've grown and changed.
Facts. For Admirable Animations, I can imagine the next episode being the Ultimate Muscle one (one of the few legitimately divine Diamonds we can find from 4Kids because of well, believe it or not, this is one of the best and sweetest English Dubs that we can get from them).
One thing I appreciate about Enter is, despite his mistakes, shortcomings, and controversies, he is able to grow as a person, and has shown proof of that over the past decade. Sure, he's not perfect, and I don't agree with everything he says, but when is that the case? He's human, and he makes human errors, and that's okay. (Run-on sentences lol)
If only most people these days could remember a concept as simple as this, especially when nowadays false accusations are wildly thrown around the air about how "everyone is prejudice and hateful" and all sorts of vile crap. Yes, there are people who are total monsters and are far beyond saving, but the majority of most people are good hearted people, most people are human, humans have shortcomings and make mistakes, and mistakes are just that - mistakes. Nobody is hateful or prejudice, just dumb and don't know any better, it should never be that hard to understand that nor there is no excuse not to forgive it.
@@koichidignitythief7429 This isn't an "apology" video. In apology videos, the creator does nothing but beg for forgiveness. This is a video of a man owning up to his mistakes and wanting to move on, which we all should.
@Koichi, Dignity Thief : "This guy keeps making mistakes, he's completely irredeemable." Yeah everyone makes a lot of mistakes. It's called being human.
After a decade on UA-cam, I’m glad to see you reflect on the missteps through your career, shows definitive growth, wish I hope to see you continue with .
Enter I've been watching you since I was 12. I was a frumpy tween who hated the newer spongebob episodes and I guess I wanted some vindication over that, leading me to watching your reviews. I started slowly getting into your other videos as well and I watched you improve. I watched your style and your editing and your avatar change many times. This decade has not been a good one for me mentally. I have had very difficult moments where I thought I couldn't even go on. I'd watch your videos just to take my mind off something. They're not important to my mental health, but they have comforted me in an odd way and kept me going. They've inspired me to create my own stories, and to even attempt drawing and story telling. I have dreams, even if they probably won't come to a completion, I can still hope. I am 21 now. I will be turning 22 this may. I have finally started to work on some of my goals and started some things in my life. I am now at what I can call "recovery" from severe depression, and I can't believe I can look back and realize just how long I've been watching you. You have kept going despite all of your controversy and flaws, and that gives me some hope for myself. Congratulations, and Thank you.
Same. I started watching him back when the Squidward Torture Porn video came out and it popped up in my recommendations when watching videos of newer SpongeBob being criticized. I loved his bluntness at the time though certainly thought he went too far in some areas. I’ve watched other videos of his and watched him grow and be a more mature person. Can’t believe he’s been doing this for 10 years. I love his videos and will always support his channel.
Same started watching cartoon reviews at 12 and Mr. Enter was one of the earliest cartoon reviewers I've watched. Honestly seeing his channel is then to where he is now is an experience I'm glad I didn't miss out on
dang dude, you've gone through a really interesting character arc. i haven't kept up with your content too consistently but seeing how you've matured is really impressive. it takes a lot to take such a long, good look at your mistakes and not come out of it bitter. good on ya, man, youve come a long way!
We all make mistakes. But it’s those mistakes that help us learn and grow. Even through the things you’ve done, I’ve still cared and supported you the whole way! You rock, Mr. Enter! Keep up the good work!
i actually think that these old bad videos should remain up just with a disclaimer at the beginning that explains that they are dated and no longer reflect your current views kind of like what warner bros does when they release controversial old cartoons from the 40s on new formats so that instead of just burying past mistakes we can look back and learn from them
It’s great that you acknowledge your own faults. For a while, I was mad at you for certain things you were involved in. But knowing that you do actually see your flaws makes me think better of you as a creator, a critic, and a person. Good video John!
Agreed, they take it too seriously and never get tired of beating that deceased equine that's nothing but a pile of mush at this point, like with number 5 for example... (And I ain't just talking about comments either)
Such mad respect for making a top ten about critiquing your past mistakes, and doing an analysis on why they are horrid. It takes bravery to open up about your mistakes, something that even I fail to realize, but it’s important to not ignore them in order to improve. We are human and we are flawed by nature. I’m glad I stuck around for you, Enter, because I knew deep down you always wanted to do your best to improve and share opinions. Take care, John.
Hey John. As someone who started watching you because I was 13 and thought it was funny when people got mad at SpongeBob, have to say I’m proud you’re still around. Now as a 23 year old man I just wanna see my favourite childhood creators succeeding. Thanks for sticking around
Nobody can blame you for having bad takes. What people can blame you for is being shown why those takes are bad and not changing in the face of new information. You taking the time and changing, while also acknowledging those bad takes is really good. I’m glad you didn’t spiral.
We all have had to deal with our issues as best as we can. I always believed you to be someone who never wants to actively hurt or bring misery to others, and this video just reinforced that. Wishing you all the best, here's hoping the future is brighter for you.
I'm honestly proud of how far you've come along I've stuck around pretty much since your first animated atrocity and I've always admired how you take previous mistakes as learning experiences and have shown to improve from learning from those mistakes. As my fortune cookie yesterday said and I kid you not "A man who's never made any mistakes has never lived life." Kudos to you Mr. Enter, and happy 10th anniversary!
Back in august 2020 I was almost killed by the original strain of covid. I was 25 years old, there were no vaccines or immunisations. There wasn’t even a guarantee that I would live. Cardiac arrest, pneumonia and a week in intensive care led me to believe that my life was genuinely coming to an end before I even had a chance to do anything meaningful with my life. Then I saw your videos talking about the pandemic and not only was I insulted, I felt invalidated. I felt that I was merely an inconvenience and that for people like me to die was merely to be a minor inconvenience to a society all to eager to go back to the way things were. A speed bump in the road. It was hurtful, it broke my spirit to see collective humanity push the vulnerable to the front and say, it’s okay, these people don’t matter to us that much , you can take them. So I thank you from the bottom of my heart for owning up the things you said in your videos. It takes a lot of guts to admit when you’re wrong and I have the utmost respect for you for doing so. Stay on the right track Mr Enter, you’re growing as a creator and more importantly as a person. Not everybody in this world gets a second chance, I hope you make the most of it.
Honestly, the people who still decide to hate you after your acknowledgement and apologies for the bad takes you had in the past, they're just hating to hate 🤷 You know what you said back then was wrong, and you acknowledged that. What more do they want from you?? A bouquet of flowers? Jesus 🙄 Good on you for the video! I'm happy for you, keep up the good work!
UnfortunateIy, there *are* ppI who cIaim that his apoIogy is "too Iate". How sad. Let's hope this won't get in the way of Enter's career nor stopping him to grow and move forward
One thing I've always appreciated about this channel is that you always seem to be growing and learning. There are stumbles and screw-ups, but I never get the impression that you aren't trying to do better each day. Sure, videos I thought were fine enough three years ago don't hold up in the same way, but if I'm being real, a lot of what *I* did three years ago seemed okay at the time but was actually either cringey or just bad. Keep improving. You've been improving, and that's a wonderful thing
Yeah, I've been subscribed since the early age of this channel, I've grown a lot alongside it, and one of the thing I always appreciated the most is that, in the end, he always addresses his fuck ups, never makes excuses for them, and always tries to learn from them going forward. From a quality standpoint, this is probably the most inconsistent channel I'm still subbed to, but the good is really good and the bad never goes unaddressed forever

I am so proud of the way you are improving as a content creator and a human being. I have been watching you for several years now and always have been fond of how real you are about your opinions, how honestly you have been expressing yourself, how raw your emotions have been. You have always been a good youtuber but now, with the amount of self reflection you are doing it is only up from here.
personally, I've never hated Enter. I got a lot of information from his reviews. and some of the things he said in his older reviews made me laugh. even if he was angry. an example of something he did that I found funny would have to be his reaction to "The Plot Hole" from Smooth Jazz At Bikini Bottom. I really got a good laugh out of that one. not to mention I appreciate just how passionate he is towards what he does. we need people like that in the reviewing community as a whole. people who stand for what's right.
Regarding your #2 review, I'm glad that you acknowledged your fault in this. I've seen many other creators audiences go and harass someone, and when called out on it just say: "I never told them to harass this person." It's clearly something you did wrong which caused your audience to act this way. You did mention in your 2018 Talking about my Online Harassment video that it should've been obvious that you never said specifically for the people you've shown on screen they should be harassed, but you also acknowledged your part in this. When you show names of people and say stuff like: "these people should be ashamed of themselves and blacklisted from animation," it should be obvious that someone out there would think it's okay to harass them. As for your Pandemic videos, no, I don't think it's a cop-out one bit to tell people if your opinions have changed at all. The U.S. in particular has an awful habit of making things political when they aren't, and it constantly brings out the worst in people, which is one of many things other countries rightfully look down on us for. Here's to a good future for all of us, you included.
Being able to admit your mistakes is how you grow. Which is why I consider you one of the best UA-camrs on the platform. No matter what people say. Also, as someone who loves all your worst cartoons of the decade vids, I would love a remake of the 2000's one!
Something hilarious just happened. I went to Just Stop's video criticizing you and left a comment about this one getting made, and StarGiant replied to me saying it was bad. She really can't get over herself after all this time. Pretty sure she's a lost cause lmao 🤣
Mr. Enter: "I'm going publicly amit to my screw ups and try to make amends." Star Giant Productions: "THIS VIDEO IS FUCKING SHIT AND ENTER ABUSED ME AND I DON'T REGRET WHAT I DID!"
It really takes a lot to own up to your mistakes. It takes even more to do it in a video for everyone around the world to see and hear. I respect Mr. Enter for doing something like this.
"Every day I get a little bit wiser, and realize that yesterday i was a complete idiot." Shows a lot of humility to take a critical look at yourself and bring it to light rather than just shoving it behind you. About #1: people can make mistakes for many reasons. And I'm sure you'd agree with me when I say that those who willingly turn their backs on what they believe in purely out of fear of something else don't *fully* believe in those things as much as they thought they did, or that they let other things take precedence. To quote Kennedy: "Forgive your enemies, but *remember their names* ." 37:05 "It was never my place to talk about any of this to begin with" Dood, you were talking about YOUR LIFE, you shouldn't feel forced to "shut up" about it; It IS good to vent out your frustrations, and I can understand why "expressing personal feelings" might not be a good "professional move". But bottling up those feelings without some kind of outlet would've made you WORSE. Hard topics require asking hard questions from multiple angles. If you want to have a "more personal" channel, or Patreon exclusives, then that would be a great place for them. But don't feel ashamed for WHY you made them.
I do feel like looking back at your past like this and acknowledging how badly you messed up is a healthy way to move forward. While you have done a lot wrong, I genuinely do not think you're a bad person, Enter. I can see that you have changed and want to move to greener pastures. Happy (early) 10 year anniversary, John Enter. And here's to a brighter future.
I'm glad you're acknowledging your missteps and trying to grow as a person. I missed this Mr enter and I'm glad he's back. This feels like the old Mr enter I watched in high school
Takes a lot of growth to make a video like this. And what a way to celebrate your anniversary. It’s good to see someone reflecting on their career and learning from it
10 years. Congratulations man. I started watching you in 2019, after Phantom Striders collaboration with you. I myself was not in a healthy situation, or healthy place. During 2020 I was in a state of just going day by day, constant fear of someone coming to my door. Your videos, old and new, helped me. Even in the ones you were ranting and angry in, like Elf Bowling and Patrick's a Prick, I would rewatch because it felt calming. To see someone that sounded angry, helped put mind to rest, to see I was not the only mad one who had those feelings in the world. They made me laugh, made me smile with joke you would squeeze in. It helped me escape. They inspired me to look more into animation and writing, which is now what I try to do. Today I'm doing better. I have a support network, I don't live in fear, and I'm still here watching. What I have to say is thank you, and I can wait to see you go up from here. Happy 10 year anniversary John. Here is a cookie if you read this. 🍪
You know the fact you don’t double down after getting negative feedback stops you from being a lost cause. There’s some people who drive themselves to psychosis over way more trivial stuff than you. Some of them even have more subs.
To talk about your popularity in your earlier days It wasn't just you. This was the era where people (particularly social awkward pre-teens) loved assholes and individuals who don't value the feelings of others because it was "funny" or cathartic. There was leafy, Keemstar, and a whole bunch of unfunny jerks like Doug Walker. But the difference is that those guys stayed relatively popular, which meant they never got to grow up and change. They still got their paychecks and never had to answer their screw ups. Taking accountability doesn't have to mean you have to live in regret of your past decisions. It could also mean you got the chance no one else in these situations usually gets you can evolve.
Leafy is permanently banned from ALL social media platforms FOR LIFE. Doug Walker was all right for some time, but Keemstar was almost always an asshole.
As someone who... somewhat distanted myself from your content... after watching this entire video... I respect your actions, and I hope you never forget your mistakes, and build upon them... for your own sake. I forgive everything you've done, it takes a lot to reflect on yourself.
Mr. Enter, I have been a loyal viewer of yours for a very long time. I've seen the ups, I've seen the downs, and I've stuck with you through it all. Even your worst videos have gotten me through some tough times. I've seen a lot of creators I once adored become worse over time. Their content may become shinier or more polished, but the heart is lost or they begin to focus on the wrong things and alienate their audience. I think the opposite happened to you. You've improved so much with time and the force that endeared me to your videos originally has only become stronger. You're kind of one of my heroes. I'm autistic and I often find myself making mistakes, especially social or behavioral mistakes. In watching you, I've grown to realize that I have control over my actions and that I can change. Just like you've grown and improved, I can as well. I respect you not just as a funny man who reviews cartoons, but as a person who's done something I really hope I can do as well. Thanks for everything. Here's to another 10 years. -Conner
21:04 this one in particular fascinated me there is a valid underlying complaint that the setting should matter when creating a piece of media and it should be more than just an aesthetic. but it was the worst possible specific example to use for that issue it kind of reminds me of when a gaming critic named george wood said that in the future there should be a tomb raider game about lara croft getting breast cancer. the underlying idea was that female charaacters in games open up story ideas based on the female experience which can be agreed with, the example given for that was so bad that it is legendarily awkward and hilarious.
lol you brought up Elf Bowling as one of your dishonorable mentions but that's actually my favorite Animated Atrocities video of all time because of how angry you were 😂😂😂
MrEnter regrets putting Elf Bowling as a dishonorable mention He says in one of his posts in his new DeviantArt account reviewing his first 100 animated atrocities videos He said it's just the audio being too loud for him that spooked him Personally, i also really like that video.
Tbh you’re right about the tone part of your pandemic videos but I still think the points were solid and you helped me feel like I wasn’t losing my mind so thank you for that. As a fellow aspie I appreciate the kindred spirit.
so, as someone who also absolutely isn't the most...mentally well person, i really enjoyed this video i see a lot of myself in your personality and your content, and i (as well as pretty much everyone) has made some insane mistakes in the past and i'm really happy to see someone who i've watched for so long, and who i see myself in so much, adress, learn from and move past the mistakes they've made it inspires me, and quiets that little voice in my head that says "you've fucked up forever, you'll never change, this is you" thank you mrenter, for showing me that i can be self aware, despite the crater my mind can be
If it helps, with the pandemic videos, your key point, that mental health wasn't being looked after enough, was true. You might have said everything around that point badly, you might have dismissed the physical health side, but even at the time, it was clear they were coming from a place of deep pain, not an attempt to deny the pandemic, just a lashing out against the ways the pandemic response deeply hurt people, even if there wasn't a better choice. Now, it wasn't a particularly well-thought-out lashing out, and for people who weren't suffering as badly it might have encouraged them to unsafe behaviours - but I don't think that was your intent. However, as someone who was living in a one-bedroom flat (apartment) in Scotland, where the lockdown only allowed a maximum of one hour a day outside the house for months, with a bed needing replaced that I couldn't get replaced; with things breaking in the flat that I wasn't able to get fixed, you were the only person I saw that made me feel seen, even if it was mixed up with a load of bad takes. This was a bold video, pointing out your flaws. But I hope you know that even in those flaws, you did have some strengths. Be introspective. But don't let it turn into self-hatred.
I really like when UA-camrs do these kind of vids. It shows they grow as a person and are self-critical. Also it's very nice and self-assuring knowing other people also cringe at their past selves 😁
It's important to acknowledge your past faults as they show just how much you've changed for the better. I still love your videos and will continue to see where you go :3
It takes guts to 1. Notice mistakes 2. Admit mistakes 3. Apologize 4. Laugh at your own dumb goofs You’re being a bit too hard on yourself in some parts, you grew as a person and you should be proud of that! No need to relentlessly insult your past self for silly mistakes or even larger ones. Acknowledging and apologizing is the best course of action
I’m actually glad that he did this. It takes guts it admit your faults especially as a UA-camr. So way to go. Also I’m very excited for your new Nick-O-Rama reviews later in the year. That (like you) deserves a redemption.

That's just what this video needed for #3--Mr. Enter rudely insulting his past self like that. Even I wouldn't go so far as to tear down past me like that. Aside from that complaint, it's nice to acknowledge when you've fucked up royally and regret everything you've done and want to move past that. I can think of other certain Internet personalities that need to genuinely do all that. But good on Mr. Enter for this video.
One piece of constructive criticism I would give is that I kinda wish we saw a "reacting to my old videos to find my least favorite" stream, which if you did make and I just missed it, I apologize. I don't know why, but I just love seeing one's raw reactions to their past, and I feel like it would be a good touch. These videos may not have aged well but they still have some charm to me sometimes. Keep on doing what you enjoy doing cause it is reflecting on these videos that really go to show your growth. Though during your explanation of Lights Out, I really.... REALLY felt for you because I have been through that. Just recently I felt such depression, if you wanna call it that, feeling burnout, having a lack of care.
Been about 6 years I believe that I’ve been with Enter And every time something happened I knew that he’d try to be better, did he still fail sometimes sure but that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t try again And that’s all you ask of someone you don’t personally know but have faith in
I really appreciate how genuine you've become over the years. As someone who's struggled with depression and who was similarly broken by the pandemic, I relate to a lot of this.
I never hated you, as at that time I was at a similar point in my life. Over the years, you have gave me a lot of laughs through a really dark point of my life. Honestly, I was there for some of the times where you fucked up, and even though I knew that things that you said, in the past were out of line, I would never go out of my way to target anyone regardless. I wish you well for any future endeavors and know that your people will always be in your corner. You have my utmost respect. 😊
This video was difficult to watch, and I can only imagine how difficult it was to make. I’ve been watching your videos for a while, and enjoying them all that time, flaws and all. I know what it’s like to be aware of all the mistakes you’ve made. I hate myself for all kinds of things sometimes, big and small, far more than I would hate someone else if they made the same mistakes. It’s all too easy to be too hard on oneself. As someone from the outside looking in, I think you’re doing great. You’ve been through a lot and made mistakes, and done your best to atone for them and move forward better. Everyone makes mistakes, everyone does things they regret. It’s human. I sincerely hope things get better for you and that you heal from the years that have gone by. You are a good person, and I wish you all the best
This is why I love you, Enter. You're not afraid to admit when you make mistakes. And you apologize for them. And you learn from them. I've been watching since your Patrick's a Prick countdown, and I've watched you grow since then. Keep being awesome, Mr. Enter!
As an OG MrEnter viewer, watching this video is really interesting. I remember the original ‘my mistakes’ countdown from years ago, and with ‘One Little Slip’ from Chicken Little being the transition music was a pleasant surprise.
Mad respect to a dude who can roast himself. Also, I feel like because that was the "brand" you unintentionally started out with, that's what became popular. For the Indiegogo thing, "all of the red flags just look like flags." And as for the requesting video, yeah - gotta agree that one was a little harsh... ...one more thing...wow, it is an accomplishment on Rebecca's part to fuck up editing so irreversibly that there are still traces of it in your past work. I'm impressed.
Failure is the greatest teacher. As long as you learn from it, everything you go through is worth it. After watching you for 10 years man, I can say that you have improved. Can’t wait to see what you do next!
Can't believe it's been 10 years. I remember when some of those 2013 ones came out and it really doesn't seem like that long ago. I was 13 in 2013 and I am glad to have grown with you.
I've been watching since the MLP days, I've always enjoyed your videos. In many ways, I was an angry and depressed teen back then, and I enjoyed watching someone else be angry about something. I've grown a lot since then, and I'm glad that you did too. The thing I enjoy most nowadays is your ability to own up to your mistakes and grow and improve. Cheers.
Just want to say, really great video. Despite the amount of flaws you had throughout the decade, I respect you for your inmense genuinity, honesty and humanity. You've encountered obstacles, you made mistakes, yet you proved on improving them and on realizing you made said mistakes. You're one of the most interesting and passionate content creators I know, and despite all of the troubled reception and rough history that you came across your career, I will never be ashamed of supporting you man. Happy 10 years Enter.
This was absolutely one of your best videos to date! I've been watching you for various years, Mr. Enter. Through good and bad. Regardless of what others thought of you, or your past mistakes, I always enjoyed your video because I could really feel your passion in them, even if it were wasn't always used correctly... Something about your videos always felt real and, weirdly comforting. I'm glad you're doing well and seeking to constantly better yourself, but I hope that passion you clearly have for what you do never fades. Regardless of adversity, you've made your mark on not just this site, but on the lives of many. Be it memes, genuine, life-altering perspectives, or just through some good ol' fashioned entertainment. I believe you've done far more good than what moments like these show. You're doing good, Mr. Enter. Keep it up!
Watching you has been quite the roller coaster. From loving you, to hating you, to loving you again, to hating you again, and so on. I started watching you when I was a dumb kid in Middle School who took internet reviewers words as gospel. If something someone said on the internet is bad, then it must be bad. God forbid I dare have my own opinions. As a kid, I wanted to make reviews. Be it of movies, video games, whatever. And in the concepts for reviews I came up with, I took the absolute worst from your old videos. I tried to make a villain out of M.A. Larson for writing a few MLP episodes I didn't like. I tried to claim Robert Shearman should be fired from writing for BBC because I hated his Doctor Who episode "Dalek". I would get unreasonably angry at the most benign shit and say random things I thought made sense to try and make a point. I... can only be glad I never actually followed through in making any of these. I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, you've said and done some pretty dumb shit. Some dumb shit that made me want to never watch your content again. I almost didn't click on this video when I saw it in my feed. But I think the thing that always keeps me coming back is how honest you are, and how willing you are to do right when you realize your mistakes. That is what, more than anything, separates you from the scummiest of the scum. You change and you grow. You hit rock bottom sometimes, but you always manage to climb back up. Overall, my feelings on your are... complicated. It's hard to say that I like you... but it's equally hard to say I dislike you. And I'm definitely not neutral on it. I think in part because I see a lot of me in you. If nothing else... I respect you. You're able to stay true to yourself. Even if it's not exactly good. And I look forward to seeing where this crazy ride goes next.
"Cringe UA-camr I revisit after 7 years is based now" is one of my favourite character arcs.
Bro really celebrated his 10th Anniversary by roasting the life out of himself. Mad respect.
Man what a champ.
Self critique is healthy.
He's been very introspective the last couple years.
Bros transition song was from chicken little too
@@SergioLeonardoCornejo I'd have to agree, if you know yourself better with time you're less likely to make any grave mistakes. Mistakes in general aren't bad but it's good to recognize when you screw up so it's less likely to happen again.
It takes guts to admit your mistakes and dissect them so publicly. Respect

@@UltimateFunBilly my mate, facts.
This guy is better than Erin Henson.
glad he's actually acknowledging when he got it wrong.
In the past, I used to hate you, until I grew out of it and decided to give you another shot. Seeing that you're able to take the good with the bad and not be afraid to confront the past while poking fun at it demonstrates some good character on your part. Everyone's human, and I'm glad you're willing to be open about your mistakes.
True positivity is about finding the good in the bad and persevering.
Now that’s what I call a character arc!
What made you hate him?
@@yusifudo46 This was back when Enter was initially popular and had more control over popular opinion; he basically shaped certain attitudes I felt were unjust. But overtime my philosophy changed and I matured some.
He really HAS grown and improved as a person, but sadly there are plenty of idiots who turn a blind eye to that to keep accusing him of shit he stopped doing YEARS ago. People on the internet LOVE doing that to anyone they don't like, in an attempt to discredit or slander them.
I'm glad you acknowledged this, I think you've *also* grown, too.
You know something I really find ironic? The same people who demand others change, are not only the ones who never *acknowledge* when they get what they want and their victims *do* change in a positive way, but they *themselves* are guilty of never changing, specifically *because* they refuse to acknowledge other people improve, and keep spouting their outdated opinions instead of updating their worldview to reflect the newer information and improvement in the character of others.
I'm sure you find that hilariously ironic too.
@WinVirsten most people who hate Enter aren't the same people who hated him from years ago. They're Tumblr types who hate him now, it was edgy 4chan types who used to.
As an autistic person myself, I’m proud of you. I’ve been watching your channel since secondary school and still follow you today. Nobody’s a perfect saint or the best content creator but we use our mistakes to learn and to quote Meet the Robinsons, “Keep moving forward”.
Facts.
Keep moving forward indeed.
Speaking of Disney, once he live streams again, I want to ask him what he thinks of animat and a lot of other peoples opinion that Chicken Little helped save Disney.
I would bet that a major chunk of Mr Enter viewers are on the spectrum (me too).
He didn’t answer my questions, that’s it! I’m not going to watch him anymore.
Fun Fact: Crimson Mayhem, the Editor mentioned at 23:13 has seen this Video and stated on Twitter that he forgives Enter. Good to know that it has already made a positive impact.
One thing I've always respected Mr. Enter for is his honesty. Even when I think something he says is fundamentally wrong or stupid, I can always count on him to be honest with his opinions. It's something he rarely falters on, and Animated Atrocities has given us a pretty good timeline of his opinions and how they've grown and changed.
As Tim Curry once said, "Well, we all make mistakes."
And the fact you are owing up to them is worthy of respect.
Also Happy Anniversary Mr. E.
Facts. For Admirable Animations, I can imagine the next episode being the Ultimate Muscle one (one of the few legitimately divine Diamonds we can find from 4Kids because of well, believe it or not, this is one of the best and sweetest English Dubs that we can get from them).
Hehehe you called him mr E. 😂😅😊
One thing I appreciate about Enter is, despite his mistakes, shortcomings, and controversies, he is able to grow as a person, and has shown proof of that over the past decade. Sure, he's not perfect, and I don't agree with everything he says, but when is that the case? He's human, and he makes human errors, and that's okay.
(Run-on sentences lol)
If only most people these days could remember a concept as simple as this, especially when nowadays false accusations are wildly thrown around the air about how "everyone is prejudice and hateful" and all sorts of vile crap. Yes, there are people who are total monsters and are far beyond saving, but the majority of most people are good hearted people, most people are human, humans have shortcomings and make mistakes, and mistakes are just that - mistakes. Nobody is hateful or prejudice, just dumb and don't know any better, it should never be that hard to understand that nor there is no excuse not to forgive it.
He never grows. How many times is he going to make public apology videos only to not learna damn thing?
I’m afraid I’d disagree
@@koichidignitythief7429 This isn't an "apology" video. In apology videos, the creator does nothing but beg for forgiveness. This is a video of a man owning up to his mistakes and wanting to move on, which we all should.
@Koichi, Dignity Thief : "This guy keeps making mistakes, he's completely irredeemable."
Yeah everyone makes a lot of mistakes. It's called being human.
After a decade on UA-cam, I’m glad to see you reflect on the missteps through your career, shows definitive growth, wish I hope to see you continue with .
@@wuscheleichhornchen Guess they just don’t feel regretful enough about that kind of stuff as enter does .
@@wuscheleichhornchen Your point?
hey, you're the guy who gave caddicarus the george of the jungle game
@Wüschel Eichhörnchen the only one I think did this before enter was nathaniel bandy
This guy's got serious balls to make a vid like this. I couldn't be prouder of him.
Man, this guy must _really_ hate Mr. Enter.
Nobody hates past Mr Enter more than present Mr Enter
Mr. Enter's on his redemption arc, and it's really nice to see that he's actually improving as a person and in terms of his content.
To quote Kratos from God of War: "Do not be sorry, be better."
Enter I've been watching you since I was 12. I was a frumpy tween who hated the newer spongebob episodes and I guess I wanted some vindication over that, leading me to watching your reviews. I started slowly getting into your other videos as well and I watched you improve. I watched your style and your editing and your avatar change many times.
This decade has not been a good one for me mentally. I have had very difficult moments where I thought I couldn't even go on. I'd watch your videos just to take my mind off something. They're not important to my mental health, but they have comforted me in an odd way and kept me going.
They've inspired me to create my own stories, and to even attempt drawing and story telling. I have dreams, even if they probably won't come to a completion, I can still hope.
I am 21 now. I will be turning 22 this may. I have finally started to work on some of my goals and started some things in my life. I am now at what I can call "recovery" from severe depression, and I can't believe I can look back and realize just how long I've been watching you. You have kept going despite all of your controversy and flaws, and that gives me some hope for myself.
Congratulations, and Thank you.
Same here lol. Same here... I'm the same age and started watching at the same time lol
Same. I started watching him back when the Squidward Torture Porn video came out and it popped up in my recommendations when watching videos of newer SpongeBob being criticized. I loved his bluntness at the time though certainly thought he went too far in some areas. I’ve watched other videos of his and watched him grow and be a more mature person. Can’t believe he’s been doing this for 10 years. I love his videos and will always support his channel.
Same started watching cartoon reviews at 12 and Mr. Enter was one of the earliest cartoon reviewers I've watched. Honestly seeing his channel is then to where he is now is an experience I'm glad I didn't miss out on
Nuh uh
So a lot of us have grown along with him, then. That’s pretty cool.
honestly... i kinda wanna see Growing Around be turned into an actual cartoon at some point, despite the disastrous crowdfunding campaign
dang dude, you've gone through a really interesting character arc. i haven't kept up with your content too consistently but seeing how you've matured is really impressive. it takes a lot to take such a long, good look at your mistakes and not come out of it bitter. good on ya, man, youve come a long way!
Bro's like a modern day Zuko over here.
Yep. Coming soon for Animated Atrocities: Stewie is Enceinte.
@@everett9199 Beat me to it.
Live Stream! I can ask him what he thinks of the opinion that Chicken Little helped save Disney.
We all make mistakes. But it’s those mistakes that help us learn and grow. Even through the things you’ve done, I’ve still cared and supported you the whole way!
You rock, Mr. Enter! Keep up the good work!
True
i agree
Yep. Coming soon for Animated Atrocities: Stewie is Enceinte.
@@maxleon61702 what?
That's the episode that I would be glad in which, this one would finally get a review if Mr. Enter finally did an Animated Atrocities-based one.
Rule #1: Do not insult the audience.
Wish Channel Awesome would follow this.
i actually think that these old bad videos should remain up
just with a disclaimer at the beginning that explains that they are dated and no longer reflect your current views
kind of like what warner bros does when they release controversial old cartoons from the 40s on new formats
so that instead of just burying past mistakes we can look back and learn from them
Linkara does a similar thing when he makes his compilation videos of past videos so it does have precedence.
There are other channels which have done this actually
It’s great that you acknowledge your own faults. For a while, I was mad at you for certain things you were involved in. But knowing that you do actually see your flaws makes me think better of you as a creator, a critic, and a person. Good video John!
I’m glad you can let go of your mistakes. Sadly, the internet will always remind you of them no matter how many times you apologize.
That's just natural of documentation of any kind. But the people who don't forgive and forget have their own problems.
Yeah just ask Scott Cawthom
Agreed, they take it too seriously and never get tired of beating that deceased equine that's nothing but a pile of mush at this point, like with number 5 for example... (And I ain't just talking about comments either)
@@KeybladeMasterAndy They don’t *have* probIems. They ARE the probIem
Not necessarily. Take the redemption of projared. You can always be forgiven
Such mad respect for making a top ten about critiquing your past mistakes, and doing an analysis on why they are horrid. It takes bravery to open up about your mistakes, something that even I fail to realize, but it’s important to not ignore them in order to improve. We are human and we are flawed by nature. I’m glad I stuck around for you, Enter, because I knew deep down you always wanted to do your best to improve and share opinions. Take care, John.
Happy Anniversary, Enter. It may not have been the best run, but I’m proud of you for pulling through and thank you for ten years of content
I think Neil Gaiman put it best. "don't be afraid to make mistakes, because if you are making mistakes, that means you are trying"
Past Mr. Enter: *makes mistakes*
Current Mr. Enter: "I'm going to end this man's whole career."
Hey John. As someone who started watching you because I was 13 and thought it was funny when people got mad at SpongeBob, have to say I’m proud you’re still around. Now as a 23 year old man I just wanna see my favourite childhood creators succeeding. Thanks for sticking around
Nobody can blame you for having bad takes. What people can blame you for is being shown why those takes are bad and not changing in the face of new information. You taking the time and changing, while also acknowledging those bad takes is really good. I’m glad you didn’t spiral.
I find it really that animat got mad at you for making political statements but makes HIS WHOLE PODCAST ABOUT CARTOONS political.
the man makes everything he does political.
Not to Animat compared The Emoji Movie to Donald Trump. Everyone has at least one stupid take.
@@avalasialove AniMat's ability to make everything he does political is a stupid take in and of itself.
@@avalasialove he also defended cuties
Very proud dude, you know it’s a rare thing for a personality to admit their mistakes. Respect.
We all have had to deal with our issues as best as we can. I always believed you to be someone who never wants to actively hurt or bring misery to others, and this video just reinforced that. Wishing you all the best, here's hoping the future is brighter for you.
You've grown a lot over this past 10 years, John. Keep it up! Here's to another decade!
Yep.
Bro we all make mistakes in stuff.You're a fine UA-camr who entertains the heck out of all us.Don't worry about it.
Top 10 Best Mr. Enter Videos
Lion king, telescope, quest for Camelot
Soon
I nominate "Talking about my Online Harassment"
I'm honestly proud of how far you've come along I've stuck around pretty much since your first animated atrocity and I've always admired how you take previous mistakes as learning experiences and have shown to improve from learning from those mistakes. As my fortune cookie yesterday said and I kid you not "A man who's never made any mistakes has never lived life." Kudos to you Mr. Enter, and happy 10th anniversary!
Back in august 2020 I was almost killed by the original strain of covid. I was 25 years old, there were no vaccines or immunisations. There wasn’t even a guarantee that I would live. Cardiac arrest, pneumonia and a week in intensive care led me to believe that my life was genuinely coming to an end before I even had a chance to do anything meaningful with my life. Then I saw your videos talking about the pandemic and not only was I insulted, I felt invalidated. I felt that I was merely an inconvenience and that for people like me to die was merely to be a minor inconvenience to a society all to eager to go back to the way things were. A speed bump in the road. It was hurtful, it broke my spirit to see collective humanity push the vulnerable to the front and say, it’s okay, these people don’t matter to us that much , you can take them. So I thank you from the bottom of my heart for owning up the things you said in your videos. It takes a lot of guts to admit when you’re wrong and I have the utmost respect for you for doing so. Stay on the right track Mr Enter, you’re growing as a creator and more importantly as a person. Not everybody in this world gets a second chance, I hope you make the most of it.
Honestly, the people who still decide to hate you after your acknowledgement and apologies for the bad takes you had in the past, they're just hating to hate 🤷 You know what you said back then was wrong, and you acknowledged that. What more do they want from you?? A bouquet of flowers? Jesus 🙄 Good on you for the video! I'm happy for you, keep up the good work!
UnfortunateIy, there *are* ppI who cIaim that his apoIogy is "too Iate". How sad. Let's hope this won't get in the way of Enter's career nor stopping him to grow and move forward
Tbh, your pandemic videos were really cathartic, and I really enjoyed watching them as they came out.
They weren’t just cathartic, he was right about covid. He shouldn’t have apologized or taken them down.
@@strongrex2615 He should have never privated those Covid videos.
@@andykishore I have no respect for him now, because he kowtowed to the mob.
One thing I've always appreciated about this channel is that you always seem to be growing and learning. There are stumbles and screw-ups, but I never get the impression that you aren't trying to do better each day. Sure, videos I thought were fine enough three years ago don't hold up in the same way, but if I'm being real, a lot of what *I* did three years ago seemed okay at the time but was actually either cringey or just bad. Keep improving. You've been improving, and that's a wonderful thing
Yeah, I've been subscribed since the early age of this channel, I've grown a lot alongside it, and one of the thing I always appreciated the most is that, in the end, he always addresses his fuck ups, never makes excuses for them, and always tries to learn from them going forward. From a quality standpoint, this is probably the most inconsistent channel I'm still subbed to, but the good is really good and the bad never goes unaddressed forever

You can be kinda cringe sometimes Enter, but it takes guts to make a video like this and own up to past mistakes. Mad respect!
I am so proud of the way you are improving as a content creator and a human being.
I have been watching you for several years now and always have been fond of how real you are about your opinions, how honestly you have been expressing yourself, how raw your emotions have been.
You have always been a good youtuber but now, with the amount of self reflection you are doing it is only up from here.
personally, I've never hated Enter. I got a lot of information from his reviews. and some of the things he said in his older reviews made me laugh. even if he was angry. an example of something he did that I found funny would have to be his reaction to "The Plot Hole" from Smooth Jazz At Bikini Bottom. I really got a good laugh out of that one. not to mention I appreciate just how passionate he is towards what he does. we need people like that in the reviewing community as a whole. people who stand for what's right.
It takes guts to admit your mistakes and be so open about your regrets.
You deserve a lot of respect.
Bro roasted himself and his past, if that ain't a redemption arc and a humble flex, idk what else it would be
Regarding your #2 review, I'm glad that you acknowledged your fault in this. I've seen many other creators audiences go and harass someone, and when called out on it just say: "I never told them to harass this person." It's clearly something you did wrong which caused your audience to act this way.
You did mention in your 2018 Talking about my Online Harassment video that it should've been obvious that you never said specifically for the people you've shown on screen they should be harassed, but you also acknowledged your part in this. When you show names of people and say stuff like: "these people should be ashamed of themselves and blacklisted from animation," it should be obvious that someone out there would think it's okay to harass them.
As for your Pandemic videos, no, I don't think it's a cop-out one bit to tell people if your opinions have changed at all. The U.S. in particular has an awful habit of making things political when they aren't, and it constantly brings out the worst in people, which is one of many things other countries rightfully look down on us for.
Here's to a good future for all of us, you included.
Being able to admit your mistakes is how you grow. Which is why I consider you one of the best UA-camrs on the platform. No matter what people say.
Also, as someone who loves all your worst cartoons of the decade vids, I would love a remake of the 2000's one!
Something hilarious just happened. I went to Just Stop's video criticizing you and left a comment about this one getting made, and StarGiant replied to me saying it was bad.
She really can't get over herself after all this time. Pretty sure she's a lost cause lmao 🤣
Mr. Enter: "I'm going publicly amit to my screw ups and try to make amends."
Star Giant Productions: "THIS VIDEO IS FUCKING SHIT AND ENTER ABUSED ME AND I DON'T REGRET WHAT I DID!"
She must still be mad that Mr. Enter fired her and then roast her in his video of him replying to the drama with her
@Matt Rogan She didn't learn a thing and didn't regret her actions over something that even Crimson forgave Enter for.
@@otakusanimeoffical1266 Yeah, she's a lost cause.
Star Giant honestly makes even the worst version of Mr Enter look like Mr Rogers (and I respect Mr Rogers).
Congratulations on the 10 years, not to mention, it takes character to look back on your mistakes and address. Respect.
It really takes a lot to own up to your mistakes. It takes even more to do it in a video for everyone around the world to see and hear. I respect Mr. Enter for doing something like this.
lf THAT doesn˙t caIm the haters down, nothing wiII
It takes a lot of courage to do something like this. To go back, reflect,criticise,and apologize
For past mistakes and errors. For that you have my respect.
"Every day I get a little bit wiser, and realize that yesterday i was a complete idiot."
Shows a lot of humility to take a critical look at yourself and bring it to light rather than just shoving it behind you.
About #1: people can make mistakes for many reasons. And I'm sure you'd agree with me when I say that those who willingly turn their backs on what they believe in purely out of fear of something else don't *fully* believe in those things as much as they thought they did, or that they let other things take precedence.
To quote Kennedy: "Forgive your enemies, but *remember their names* ."
37:05 "It was never my place to talk about any of this to begin with"
Dood, you were talking about YOUR LIFE, you shouldn't feel forced to "shut up" about it; It IS good to vent out your frustrations, and I can understand why "expressing personal feelings" might not be a good "professional move". But bottling up those feelings without some kind of outlet would've made you WORSE. Hard topics require asking hard questions from multiple angles. If you want to have a "more personal" channel, or Patreon exclusives, then that would be a great place for them. But don't feel ashamed for WHY you made them.
I do feel like looking back at your past like this and acknowledging how badly you messed up is a healthy way to move forward. While you have done a lot wrong, I genuinely do not think you're a bad person, Enter. I can see that you have changed and want to move to greener pastures.
Happy (early) 10 year anniversary, John Enter. And here's to a brighter future.
I’ve always seen you as a human being before a UA-cam personality. Seeing you grow and learn from past mistakes is an inspiring experience.
I'm glad you're acknowledging your missteps and trying to grow as a person. I missed this Mr enter and I'm glad he's back. This feels like the old Mr enter I watched in high school
Takes a lot of growth to make a video like this. And what a way to celebrate your anniversary. It’s good to see someone reflecting on their career and learning from it
10 years. Congratulations man.
I started watching you in 2019, after Phantom Striders collaboration with you. I myself was not in a healthy situation, or healthy place. During 2020 I was in a state of just going day by day, constant fear of someone coming to my door. Your videos, old and new, helped me. Even in the ones you were ranting and angry in, like Elf Bowling and Patrick's a Prick, I would rewatch because it felt calming. To see someone that sounded angry, helped put mind to rest, to see I was not the only mad one who had those feelings in the world. They made me laugh, made me smile with joke you would squeeze in. It helped me escape. They inspired me to look more into animation and writing, which is now what I try to do. Today I'm doing better. I have a support network, I don't live in fear, and I'm still here watching. What I have to say is thank you, and I can wait to see you go up from here.
Happy 10 year anniversary John. Here is a cookie if you read this. 🍪
I started watching him on 2017.
You know the fact you don’t double down after getting negative feedback stops you from being a lost cause. There’s some people who drive themselves to psychosis over way more trivial stuff than you. Some of them even have more subs.
The Jar Jar situation is really sad. That actor always seemed like such a nice guy.
I can grt why people think hes annoying but why do people think hes a racist stereotype
I can already tell #1 will be his original Stuck in the Wringer
And then you were proven wrong
I commented before watching
The Patrick version of pal for Gary can't remember the name of the episode right now.
Edit: number 2
To talk about your popularity in your earlier days
It wasn't just you. This was the era where people (particularly social awkward pre-teens) loved assholes and individuals who don't value the feelings of others because it was "funny" or cathartic.
There was leafy, Keemstar, and a whole bunch of unfunny jerks like Doug Walker.
But the difference is that those guys stayed relatively popular, which meant they never got to grow up and change. They still got their paychecks and never had to answer their screw ups.
Taking accountability doesn't have to mean you have to live in regret of your past decisions. It could also mean you got the chance no one else in these situations usually gets
you can evolve.
Leafy is permanently banned from ALL social media platforms FOR LIFE. Doug Walker was all right for some time, but Keemstar was almost always an asshole.
@@AkameGaKillfan777What happened to Leafy?
@@NitroIndigo I don't remember all the details, but InternetAjay did a pretty good video on him
As someone who... somewhat distanted myself from your content... after watching this entire video...
I respect your actions, and I hope you never forget your mistakes, and build upon them... for your own sake.
I forgive everything you've done, it takes a lot to reflect on yourself.
Mr. Enter, I have been a loyal viewer of yours for a very long time. I've seen the ups, I've seen the downs, and I've stuck with you through it all. Even your worst videos have gotten me through some tough times.
I've seen a lot of creators I once adored become worse over time. Their content may become shinier or more polished, but the heart is lost or they begin to focus on the wrong things and alienate their audience. I think the opposite happened to you. You've improved so much with time and the force that endeared me to your videos originally has only become stronger.
You're kind of one of my heroes. I'm autistic and I often find myself making mistakes, especially social or behavioral mistakes. In watching you, I've grown to realize that I have control over my actions and that I can change. Just like you've grown and improved, I can as well. I respect you not just as a funny man who reviews cartoons, but as a person who's done something I really hope I can do as well.
Thanks for everything.
Here's to another 10 years.
-Conner
Enter is no longer the lolcow he was five years ago. The redemption arc is something to behold.
I'd say more of 7 or 8 years ago
21:04 this one in particular fascinated me
there is a valid underlying complaint that the setting should matter when creating a piece of media and it should be more than just an aesthetic. but it was the worst possible specific example to use for that issue
it kind of reminds me of when a gaming critic named george wood said that in the future there should be a tomb raider game about lara croft getting breast cancer. the underlying idea was that female charaacters in games open up story ideas based on the female experience which can be agreed with, the example given for that was so bad that it is legendarily awkward and hilarious.
lol you brought up Elf Bowling as one of your dishonorable mentions but that's actually my favorite Animated Atrocities video of all time because of how angry you were 😂😂😂
MrEnter regrets putting Elf Bowling as a dishonorable mention
He says in one of his posts in his new DeviantArt account reviewing his first 100 animated atrocities videos
He said it's just the audio being too loud for him that spooked him
Personally, i also really like that video.
Tbh you’re right about the tone part of your pandemic videos but I still think the points were solid and you helped me feel like I wasn’t losing my mind so thank you for that. As a fellow aspie I appreciate the kindred spirit.
so, as someone who also absolutely isn't the most...mentally well person, i really enjoyed this video
i see a lot of myself in your personality and your content, and i (as well as pretty much everyone) has made some insane mistakes in the past
and i'm really happy to see someone who i've watched for so long, and who i see myself in so much, adress, learn from and move past the mistakes they've made
it inspires me, and quiets that little voice in my head that says "you've fucked up forever, you'll never change, this is you"
thank you mrenter, for showing me that i can be self aware, despite the crater my mind can be
Admitting when you're wrong and doing better is the most mature thing anyone can do.
If it helps, with the pandemic videos, your key point, that mental health wasn't being looked after enough, was true. You might have said everything around that point badly, you might have dismissed the physical health side, but even at the time, it was clear they were coming from a place of deep pain, not an attempt to deny the pandemic, just a lashing out against the ways the pandemic response deeply hurt people, even if there wasn't a better choice.
Now, it wasn't a particularly well-thought-out lashing out, and for people who weren't suffering as badly it might have encouraged them to unsafe behaviours - but I don't think that was your intent. However, as someone who was living in a one-bedroom flat (apartment) in Scotland, where the lockdown only allowed a maximum of one hour a day outside the house for months, with a bed needing replaced that I couldn't get replaced; with things breaking in the flat that I wasn't able to get fixed, you were the only person I saw that made me feel seen, even if it was mixed up with a load of bad takes.
This was a bold video, pointing out your flaws. But I hope you know that even in those flaws, you did have some strengths. Be introspective. But don't let it turn into self-hatred.
I really like when UA-camrs do these kind of vids. It shows they grow as a person and are self-critical. Also it's very nice and self-assuring knowing other people also cringe at their past selves 😁
27:16, Unfortunately, Jim Sterling completely forgot that lesson and they likely continue to blame their declining sub count on their audience.
It's important to acknowledge your past faults as they show just how much you've changed for the better. I still love your videos and will continue to see where you go :3
If everyone had this level of self awareness, the world would be a much better place
It takes guts to 1. Notice mistakes 2. Admit mistakes 3. Apologize 4. Laugh at your own dumb goofs
You’re being a bit too hard on yourself in some parts, you grew as a person and you should be proud of that! No need to relentlessly insult your past self for silly mistakes or even larger ones. Acknowledging and apologizing is the best course of action
I’m actually glad that he did this. It takes guts it admit your faults especially as a UA-camr. So way to go. Also I’m very excited for your new Nick-O-Rama reviews later in the year. That (like you) deserves a redemption.
That's just what this video needed for #3--Mr. Enter rudely insulting his past self like that. Even I wouldn't go so far as to tear down past me like that. Aside from that complaint, it's nice to acknowledge when you've fucked up royally and regret everything you've done and want to move past that. I can think of other certain Internet personalities that need to genuinely do all that. But good on Mr. Enter for this video.
One piece of constructive criticism I would give is that I kinda wish we saw a "reacting to my old videos to find my least favorite" stream, which if you did make and I just missed it, I apologize. I don't know why, but I just love seeing one's raw reactions to their past, and I feel like it would be a good touch. These videos may not have aged well but they still have some charm to me sometimes. Keep on doing what you enjoy doing cause it is reflecting on these videos that really go to show your growth. Though during your explanation of Lights Out, I really.... REALLY felt for you because I have been through that. Just recently I felt such depression, if you wanna call it that, feeling burnout, having a lack of care.
Been about 6 years I believe that I’ve been with Enter
And every time something happened I knew that he’d try to be better, did he still fail sometimes sure but that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t try again
And that’s all you ask of someone you don’t personally know but have faith in
Again this just proves that the people saying mr. Enter can't take criticism do not know what the hell they're talking about.
I really appreciate how genuine you've become over the years. As someone who's struggled with depression and who was similarly broken by the pandemic, I relate to a lot of this.
I may be slightly responsible for inflating the "Patrick is a prick" video... cause I think I have rewatched 100 times i love it so much
I never hated you, as at that time I was at a similar point in my life. Over the years, you have gave me a lot of laughs through a really dark point of my life. Honestly, I was there for some of the times where you fucked up, and even though I knew that things that you said, in the past were out of line, I would never go out of my way to target anyone regardless. I wish you well for any future endeavors and know that your people will always be in your corner. You have my utmost respect. 😊
I personally don't mind Chicken Little, but I think we can all agree, whether you like the movie or not, that song is freaking great.
NGL, it’s impressive when a creator is willing to roast themselves, especially on their channel anniversary!!!
This video was difficult to watch, and I can only imagine how difficult it was to make. I’ve been watching your videos for a while, and enjoying them all that time, flaws and all. I know what it’s like to be aware of all the mistakes you’ve made. I hate myself for all kinds of things sometimes, big and small, far more than I would hate someone else if they made the same mistakes. It’s all too easy to be too hard on oneself. As someone from the outside looking in, I think you’re doing great. You’ve been through a lot and made mistakes, and done your best to atone for them and move forward better. Everyone makes mistakes, everyone does things they regret. It’s human. I sincerely hope things get better for you and that you heal from the years that have gone by. You are a good person, and I wish you all the best
This is why I love you, Enter. You're not afraid to admit when you make mistakes. And you apologize for them. And you learn from them. I've been watching since your Patrick's a Prick countdown, and I've watched you grow since then. Keep being awesome, Mr. Enter!
I’m proud of your maturity and you looking back at your bad videos with some levity & genuine self reflection.
As an OG MrEnter viewer, watching this video is really interesting. I remember the original ‘my mistakes’ countdown from years ago, and with ‘One Little Slip’ from Chicken Little being the transition music was a pleasant surprise.
"My Opinions now of Xiaolin Showdown are......complicated."
Don't leave us hanging homie, you can't just drop that statement and not elaborate.
I think it has to do with the stereotypes
Mad respect to a dude who can roast himself.
Also, I feel like because that was the "brand" you unintentionally started out with, that's what became popular.
For the Indiegogo thing, "all of the red flags just look like flags."
And as for the requesting video, yeah - gotta agree that one was a little harsh...
...one more thing...wow, it is an accomplishment on Rebecca's part to fuck up editing so irreversibly that there are still traces of it in your past work. I'm impressed.
man, it takes so much courage and maturity to not only recognize your mistakes but be sorry about them. You're a legend bro
Failure is the greatest teacher. As long as you learn from it, everything you go through is worth it.
After watching you for 10 years man, I can say that you have improved. Can’t wait to see what you do next!
Can't believe it's been 10 years. I remember when some of those 2013 ones came out and it really doesn't seem like that long ago. I was 13 in 2013 and I am glad to have grown with you.
I've been watching since the MLP days, I've always enjoyed your videos. In many ways, I was an angry and depressed teen back then, and I enjoyed watching someone else be angry about something. I've grown a lot since then, and I'm glad that you did too. The thing I enjoy most nowadays is your ability to own up to your mistakes and grow and improve. Cheers.
Just want to say, really great video. Despite the amount of flaws you had throughout the decade, I respect you for your inmense genuinity, honesty and humanity. You've encountered obstacles, you made mistakes, yet you proved on improving them and on realizing you made said mistakes. You're one of the most interesting and passionate content creators I know, and despite all of the troubled reception and rough history that you came across your career, I will never be ashamed of supporting you man. Happy 10 years Enter.
You are a good person, Enter. And you show you ARE capable of learning and changing. Hope you succeed in your future, man!
This was absolutely one of your best videos to date! I've been watching you for various years, Mr. Enter. Through good and bad. Regardless of what others thought of you, or your past mistakes, I always enjoyed your video because I could really feel your passion in them, even if it were wasn't always used correctly... Something about your videos always felt real and, weirdly comforting. I'm glad you're doing well and seeking to constantly better yourself, but I hope that passion you clearly have for what you do never fades.
Regardless of adversity, you've made your mark on not just this site, but on the lives of many. Be it memes, genuine, life-altering perspectives, or just through some good ol' fashioned entertainment. I believe you've done far more good than what moments like these show.
You're doing good, Mr. Enter. Keep it up!
Watching you has been quite the roller coaster. From loving you, to hating you, to loving you again, to hating you again, and so on. I started watching you when I was a dumb kid in Middle School who took internet reviewers words as gospel. If something someone said on the internet is bad, then it must be bad. God forbid I dare have my own opinions.
As a kid, I wanted to make reviews. Be it of movies, video games, whatever. And in the concepts for reviews I came up with, I took the absolute worst from your old videos. I tried to make a villain out of M.A. Larson for writing a few MLP episodes I didn't like. I tried to claim Robert Shearman should be fired from writing for BBC because I hated his Doctor Who episode "Dalek". I would get unreasonably angry at the most benign shit and say random things I thought made sense to try and make a point. I... can only be glad I never actually followed through in making any of these.
I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, you've said and done some pretty dumb shit. Some dumb shit that made me want to never watch your content again. I almost didn't click on this video when I saw it in my feed. But I think the thing that always keeps me coming back is how honest you are, and how willing you are to do right when you realize your mistakes. That is what, more than anything, separates you from the scummiest of the scum. You change and you grow. You hit rock bottom sometimes, but you always manage to climb back up.
Overall, my feelings on your are... complicated. It's hard to say that I like you... but it's equally hard to say I dislike you. And I'm definitely not neutral on it. I think in part because I see a lot of me in you. If nothing else... I respect you. You're able to stay true to yourself. Even if it's not exactly good. And I look forward to seeing where this crazy ride goes next.
