"Dear god!" Cried Mr. Rogers, realizing what he did. Unbeknownst to him, Amelia left the grounds and returned shortly after retrieving the head of a deer god.
Even as an elementary school kid, I quickly figured out what the easiest/best way to handle Amelia Bedelia was. Always assume she will take everything she's told 100% literally and carefully word your speech to her in a way that leaves no room for misinterpretation. Granted, if the other characters in the stories had done that, the stories would have been much less funny!
I never really appreciated Amelia Bedilia until I was older. The repetition and everything is clearly meant to drill word play into children's heads. It intuitively and comedically teaches children very basic fundamentals of the English language. Amelia Bedilia can also be a great tool for people trying to learn English. Especially the less literal side of it, which can be a whole other chore in itself.
It's been a very long time, but I think that's how at least one of the books ended? With her employers deciding after she screws up multiple basic tasks that she made good enough lemon meraigne(?) pie to put up with being extra literal with her? Though if there were more than one book, that lesson may not have stuck too long...
She's like one of those old Genie myths the ones where they misinterpret your wish in the worst way possible. With a dollop of Carl from Llamas with Hats tossed in for good measure
I like how this ramps up from a fairly regular Amelia Bedilia thing, to something slightly more surreal, to something that's cartoonish but still definitely unethical, then gore, then surreal cosmic horror.
i think she goes more insane as the video progresses cause she seems still a bit normal here at 0:16 since she looks a bit like shes thinking "oh no what have i done?"
So fun story, my nickname in like first grade was Bedelia because one kid had a book and he was like “oh hey your name is Amelia” and now I think back to that watching this.
Amelia will complete any task, no matter how difficult it may seem to a petty mortal being. If you were to ask her to turn off the sun, she will do that.
Her books were part of my childhood, I used to ask my parents if she was stupid because she's just as competent as Patrick Star. My parents just said "Don't ask that.". But now as an adult, I can come up with two conclusions, she's either stupid or she's an alien who got hired as a maid and she's so ignorant to Earth culture, she always screws up. (If Marvel taught me anything, aliens can look just like us, they're just more ignorant to Earth culture)
Basically your childhood can't be ruined unless it something in your childhood was terrible like being in a warzone or you have been raped or molested. If no bad things happened *DURING* your childhood you cannot say "Oh that ruined my childhood." NO IT DIDN'T! IT'S FINE!
+lilpaladin1 um... What they mean by "ruined my childhood" means that what they thought of Amelia as a child was now changed after this video.. I think?
literally terrifying, i’m rethinking that book that’s still on my shelf. “amelia! could you get me some painkiller?” *mr. rogers was slain by amelia bedelia.*

Ok, but for all of us kids out there who were extremely literal, Amelia Bedelia was a very validating and relatable character and that's a hill I'll die on
“Amelia,” Mr. Rogers said, passing her an empty potato sack, “use this sack and help me with this kidnapping.”. He pointed to a sleeping child in the middle of the room. Amelia nodded, and walked over to the child. “Yes, Amelia, you’re doing perfect- wait, what are you doing?”. Amelia draped the sack over the child like a blanket and gave them a kiss on the forehead. “No, I meant I need you to do some kidnapping, not help a kid-napping. Put that idiot in the sack!”. Amelia nodded, then placed the sack over Mr. Rogers’ head and tied up the opening.
He never said "I wish" in the start of his sentences. But then again, you can't wish for more wishes. I think he lives in a universe where genies get no rules, or Amelia is an exiled Eldritch Goddess and not a genie.
"Amelia, make me some dinner." **Amelia grabs a knife and walks towards Mr Rogers** "Oh god, please Amelia don't kill me" **Proceeds to harvest but not kill Mr rogers over a very long painful time, all while cooking him**
Parody aside, I never really realized the point of these books until I revisited these parodies. It's a very good and fun way to teach young children the fundamentals of English idioms, expressions, and other things that are never meant literally. A lot of these things DO NOT come naturally to non-native speakers, so I feel like Amelia Bedilia is often underappreciated for how educational it is.
@@gyhsntdbb9237 Thanks for that helpful comment You know at first I thought life wasn't worth living But ever since I saw this inspirational post I thought... Hey maybe life isn't all that bad
@@ShoulderMonster Yeah, pig-in-a-blanket. Basically it’s a pint sized hot dog with the bun wrapped all the way around. I once got a pair from one of those newfangled touch screen things at Sheetz, and they’re delicious.
@@szczepan4737 NOOOOOOO! DON'T BURN MISSILE! *ahem* I mean, what's the matter, Wright? Why are you screaming? ... ... ... if the blue haired gentleman would kindly detach his hamon sword from my cravat-
I mean, it would probably give him severe trauma/PTSD from seeing so many organs splattered on the window. Plus, him asking for that probably killed so many innocent people.
I like to think that really is her power, like, the "baby shower" is clearly supernatural, I imagine she doesn't take the arms or brains off/out of anyone, she just materializes them out of thin air, like she's got cartoon hammer-space powers.
