An appropriately unhinged recap of Gossip Girl (Season 2) 

The fact that this show has multiple instances of Blair dating a royal who pretends to be a commoner to see if she likes him for the real him and she fails the test then tries to win him back when she learns the truth is so funny to me.

“It’s a bad day for the Vanessa stans… if only there were any.” HELP I feel so validated

“Poverty loft” makes me laugh every single time.

“He’s playing chess while Jenny’s playing UNO” had me giggling in the workplace

“Leave Blair alone or I’ll spill the beans on what happened in Santorini” is simply the Gossip Girl version of “call of your techno boy toy or I’ll tell the cops what your mom keeps in the lasagna box”

Your voice has officially replaced my inner monologue. You’re like an invasive species of slay

"Three words. Seven letters. Get a job." You can't be real. This series is hilarous; you're getting better with each show you cover. Thanks for the laughs!

Ok but the dress that Jenna gave to Vanessa that she intended to be a flop was actually a fashion forward slay. Like if Vanessa wore that dress now she would be on Pintrest

The fit. The posters. The phone analysis. The mic. The DRAMA. You ate this up

The fact that the posters have escalated to full blown newspaper front papers with a blurb is so freakin iconic. We are not worthy of such detailed and considerate content

unpopular opinion: the scene where Rufus and Lily get back from looking for their child and Lily saying to Rufus „maybe we weren’t meant to be a family“ and them opening the door to see their 4 children all hanging out together is so so cute I don’t care.

I just love that inbetween everyone living for the Drama Eric just, exists. Like he got through therapy, got himself a questionable boyfriend last season but the one from this one is like, his endgame, and in general is just living his best life. Truly the winner out of the GG cast

"3 words, 7 letters (get a job)" had me SCREAMING

all mike's subtle hints at the gossip girl reveal and how it makes absolutely no sense kills me 💀💀

The fact Lily didn’t want to Serena to ruin her reputation with the Gabriel-Poppy drama only to call the cops to arrest her is kinda slay.

If I had a nickel for every time Mike hated a yellow top from a tv show, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

So the season 2 finale was basically “the real gossip girl was the friends we made along the way”

I don't know if Mike just didn't include it cause it wasn't important, but the absolute silence of Dan when it comes to Jenny in this season is hilarious. Last season he was defending her over like high school petty drama and now shes on the streets looking for a home and he's in lala land pining about Serena.

"no offense to Agnes's out there- The Agni" honestly everything you say is so effortlessly funny and I am here for it

it is been four months. i rewatched recaps 1&2 countless times. every time i try to fall asleep i hear mike whispering the gossip in my ear. i am going insane. i am buying tickets to Australia. i need to see recap of season 3 before i die.

The fact that Mike is dedicated to wearing the Dior turtleneck and hat despite the fact that's currently summer in Australia is such a testament to his dedication to slaying.

It's Mike repeating every Dan-Gossip Girl contradiction that happens in the show for me 💀😭

“He’s playing chess and Jenny’s playing Uno” almost made me spit out my Vitamin Water Revive ™️

Absolutely obsessed with the idea that you could start catering midway through your senior year with the goal of earning enough to cover your Yale tuition. About on par with your father plotting to sell his rental apartment to cover it.

When we get to the GG reveal, I feel like we'll need a timeline like The Day Alison Disappeared over the entire series so we can discuss plot holes Edit to add: there's spoilers in the replies so you've been warned 😂

every time mike says "LET ME REPEAT--DAN FOUND OUT SOMETHING ON GOSSIP GIRL" i'm like hmmm...i wonder who gossip girl is

can we just appreciate the "poppy lifton? more like floppy grifter" for a moment please

The day Mike drops the unhinged recap of desperate housewives something will definitely shift in the universe You can tell he’s a gabby, edie and bree stan because he has taste

Dorota having “Slave 4 U” as Eleanor’s ringtone is still sending me 😂

I know Mike is not the one who started this long-form recap trend and even though more and more people are doing these kinds of videos recently, Mike's impeccable blend of season/episode analyses, memes, trivia, pop culture references, music playlist, creative twists (GG magazine covers) and his own brand of humor (The loft?! The Brooklyn poverty loft?!!) makes me come back to his videos over and over again. The replayability is insane. It's not just watching a random youtube vid; it's an entire (Mike'sMic) experience. As a 30+ year old man who never watched any of these shows when I was younger, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Top-tier entertainment. Keep on doing what you're doing. We live for these. You're very underrated (less than 1M subs?? How?). Side-note: I know the girlies will go absolutely feral if Mic made a patreon and post behind the scenes and early access vids there.

Never watched the show so maybe I don’t have all the context, but the idea that Blaire got expelled for exposing a possible student-teacher relationship is so ridiculous to me.

Imagine if Jenny had actually attempted to follow through on the emancipation lol “Your Honor, this is an abusive environment, he’s trying to make me attend high school!”

"3 words, 8 letters, say it and I'm yours" really made history and will forever be iconic. Chuck and Blair had the best unforgettable scenes.

"Jenny is serving Dobby is a free elf" MIKE I CAN'T WITH YOU MAKING THESE CASUALLY HILARIOUS REMARKS

You just know the writers had NO IDEA who they were going to reveal as Gossip Girl

“my opinion on the matter is that you both need jobs” is so iconic like it would do numbers on stan twitter as a reaction vid

i'm actually obsessed with the idea that nate would write a long letter to jenny about his feelings instead of just like. leaving her some voicemail or texting her or something

i cant wait for the gossip girl reveal episode so that Mike can dissect all the plot holes

Lily sleeping with Slash is so random 😭but iconic. Good for her

No joke I just love how much love and effort Mike puts into these series. Like it validates me that I shouldn't feel bad about liking or watching "dumb or silly" tv series or movies like that. Like things that bring you joy or laughter aren't dumb and it just helps my anxiety listening to him explain and recap these series in the best and funniest ways!

Rufus playing chess & Jenny playing Uno is beyond accurate lmao

Your Serena voice has not yet stopped cracking me tf up. “Noh… I gadda goh….”

mike majoring in mechanical engineering and being a pop culture icon is honestly my inspiration to finish my degree

I just keep rewatching the Gossip Girl Videos because I cannot keep living without the next seasons. Oh, I'm washing my hair? Listening to Mike talking about the Rufus lily shenanigans. Can't sleep at night? Listening to Mike slandering Derena. Mental breakdown hardcore Style? Start with season 1. Again.

i’m ashamed at how hard “poppy lifton? more like floppy grifter” made me laugh

Omg it’s that time again where we appreciate Mike’s Mic for the dedication towards the Discourse of Unhinged TV.

Your impression of Jenny’s „Daaahd“ kills me every time 😂

“GG part three will be dropping end of march/ beginning of april” - me when i lie

It’s truly a privilege to be alive at a time where Mike is creating top-slaying content.

Lily's rhony intro being, "Don't ask me where my kids are..." I spluttered

Cyrus Is literally the only character in the entire series that deserves oxygen Everyone else should turn blue

i will always do the whisper scream every time he says “nelly yuki fans make some noise”

"She calls her a foreign queen because she's from Brooklyn" This had me cackling for hours ngl

Mike’s Jenny cosplay looks like he’s playing “punk extra #3” in a low budget movie where actors had to provide their own wardrobes. It’s perfect.

Let's please mention that 17 year old boy Nate was sleeping with a very much adult woman who then basically made him a prostitute by paying him to sleep with her and manipulating him and shit. Absolutely disgusting behavior that they played off as fine.

Jenny being unhinged is THE BEST part of season two and I cannot be deterred otherwise

The use of phones to highlight character and mark their progression through the seasons is so outrageously iconic

the thumbnail is everything.

Randomly hearing “you told coach Sue about my summer surgery” in a gossip girl recap is why I love Michael’s Microphone with all my heart

I love this show so much, idc how messy it was, at least it committed to the mess Also I love how Eric is just living his life while all of the others, especially his sister, are just in constant chaos

“he’s playing chess while jenny’s playing uno.” the way i cackled when you said that 💀

EVERYONE SAY THANK YOU MIKE

"My opinion on the matter is that you both need jobs" 10/10, amazing, hilarious, iconic. No notes.

I told myself, "Why watch Gossip Girl when I can watch this recap" and I love every single minute of it. Can't wait for you to drop seasons 3 and 4 cause I have to know what's next!!

the funniest thing about gabriel always abruptly ditching plans with serena is that she met her I have to go match lmao

michael's microphone truly giving us what we needed but don't deserve

Lily had an absolute SLAY moment baggin THE Trent Reznor.... Girl just gets more and more mother as the shows goes on xoxo

The “if you need to mark your territory so bad Nathaniel, maybe you should just pee on her” is sending me Asdfghjkl

Eric was too good for this show he didn’t want a part in ANY of that drama and I respect him for that 💅

I feel like an unhinged recap of Buffy The Vampire Slayer would seriously slay

To be honest, say what you will about J but that dress burning scene was so iconic because her reaction with the music was Oscar-worthy slay

I would walk through fire to ingest an unhinged recap of The Gilmore Girls. Seeing Mike pick apart late-series Rory would be outstanding.

blair and carter were together for less than one episode and the impact they had on my brain... so unmatched

“it’s a bad day for the vanessa stans… if only there WERE ANY” 😂

Bestie when is S3/S4 gonna drop I have rewatched S1/S2 an embarrassing amount of times 😅

The reason I dislike vanessa (serena as well for the same reason) is that they hold themselves out as this superior 'holier than thou' figures but than immediately revert to petty scheming anyways (even as they're claiming that they don't want to do it) whereas blair and jenny are quite upfront about it.

I have never watched gossip girl, never will but will I watch hours upon hours of recaps...? Yes yes of course. I have to appreciate how much work is put into these and mike you have indeed slayed so hard it's lost all meaning, the outfits are impeccable

PLEASEEEEE POST SEASON THREE!!! We've been waiting so patiently 😭😭

I love your channel because these always feel like an unhinged facetime with a bestie gossiping about people we know.

Jenni has always been my favorite. She was like the best/worst of Blair and Serena combined. Sis had Blair’s work ethic and viciousness and skills of manipulation and Serena’s magnetism and recklessness and selfishness, which is why you knew it was bout to be an episode when it was about Jenni 😂😂😂

when i was watching gossip girl s2 the other day, i saw serena with the tassel tied into her hair at graduation and i literally said to myself “when mike posts season 2, he’s going to say something about how ridiculous that is” 💀💀

I forgot just how wild the relationship roulette was in this show. Can't wait for the rest cuz I stopped watching after S2 when I too went off to college. I remember learning about the final reveal of GG, and thinking, "That makes no sense."

The Blair and Serena physical fights could have gone deadly if Blair used her shoe instead of her bag , it would be like the same as cece hitting Alison with a rock

knowing we hate all the same characters makes me feel seen and validated ✨thank you✨

it would be so real of vitamin water to actually sponsor mike’s mic’s remaining gossip girls recaps and send him a vitamin water fountain for his living room (just saying)

Chuck's dead/suddenly alive/somehow reanimated mom is ny favourite character. Soap opera level shenanigans

"how did u get in here poor" gives very much "delete it fat", and that's extremely fine with me

The recaps of these 2000s-2010s shows have really shown me how I never even noticed how many were sleeping with children, like what the hell were the writers/producers thinking!

i’m sorry you did WHAT at a rina show?????? that’s bloody brilliant!! i saw her in brighton and she was unreal, such an amazing performer

Sir, not u dropping a fantastic Lost video thinking I've forgotten what im owed (GG S3)

I’ve watched this easily 10 times and “cream Serena - …cream Serena?” makes me howl every time

My terrible memory means even though I’ve seen this show multiple times im still :O at the twists when mic reveals them

10:28 "Ammunition for blackmail" would be a killer second single for Blair after "Trauma on the tarmac"

Very different vibe but all the family tree talk has shown me I need a mikes mic unhinged recap of Once Upon a Time

your imitation of jenny's "dzaad" never fails to crack me up

The switch from white turtleneck to black goth eyeliner required a Jumpscare warning

im so happy for these recaps, mike. my girlfriend is obsessed with this show, and it's like im learning a new language in 1.5 hours instead of days and days of binging dulingo so i can finally hold a conversation. Actively saving my relationship

“End of march/ start of April” BESTIE we’re in June!!

My biggest flex is when I was 14 I went to where they were filming the gossip girl prom episode and I saw most of the cast and got an amazing pic with Chase Crawford in his tux. 🤩

The Vitamin Water promo worked. Me, at 13/14, def was like “mooooommmmm. I’m not ur little gurl anymore. I NEED Vitamin Water on the next grocery trip”
