Get your slushies ready, because this month’s Examining video is all about Glee. The hit Fox series was a behemoth in TV, but its impact on music was just as strong. Let’s take a retrospective walk through the full series, its music, and how these geeks managed to rise to (and fall from) the top…
Let me know your favorite Glee episode/song/character/Will rap in the comments!
NOTE 1: Drake surpassed Glee's record in March of this year, not February.
NOTE 2: At two points in this video, I use terms regarding people who use wheelchairs. Some of you have told me that these phrases are at best cringy, and at worst offensive. I apologize for using those terms, and will be more mindful of my language going forward.

Ok ok ok ok ok OK. Listen, I was a huuuuge gleek back in my day. Think I jumped on the wagon at season 2 and nose dived off at what I thought was season 6. Just got towards the end of the video and quickly realized I actually stopped after S5 because WHAT THE FUCK? THEY HAD COACH BEISTE TRANSITIOOONNN??? What was the point of “never been kissed” if she was trans? It was so refreshing to me to have a masculine presenting woman that wasn’t a lesbian or trans (and I say that as a stud lesbian) dealing with her masculine and feminine sides. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised but it seems so damn pandering. Trans visibility matters but not when it’s shoehorned in there as an afterthought.

I find it really funny that Gorillaz actively and publicly denied Glee, cause their song Clint Eastwood (banger) is in the first Trolls movie. It has "MCR refusing to let Twilight use their music but personally recorded Welcome to the Black Parade in simlish for the Sims" energy

@lithiumkid 2 года назад

Twilight portrayed an abusive relationship as romantic, had a main character pretending to be native american when the actor wasn’t, and was written by someone who based one of the love interests on her own brother. Sims is a good, pretty unproblematic series of games with multiple iconic gothic and alt characters that tons of people remember by name even 22 years later. i see why they didn’t want to be associated with Twilight and i think there’s nothing weird or hypocritical about them then going on to put a song into Sims 3.

The most heartbreaking moments of audio in glee are in season 3, when the teachers are talking about Karofsky’s suicide attempt and sue says “i keep imagining how his father must have felt finding him” and it cuts to these awful wails and screams from his dad, and in Quarterback when the music cuts out and Santana is sobbing and then screaming. Glee didn’t have very many moments of serious emotion being shown without making it a joke, but those two parts… man. i almost cry every time i hear them.

@justinmontana3710 2 года назад

On the point of how Glee handled its LGBT characters, the one standout memory I have from the show is the Teen Drinking episode where, when Blaine was questioning whether he might be Bisexual, Kurt's immediate response was, "Bisexual is term gay people use to tiptoe back into the closet", and every once in a while that sneaks up on me like being smacked in the back of the head with a rotting Mackerel.

@alim.9801 Год назад

Idk if it's just me but it feels like something that Kurt as a character wouldn't say, like it feels out of character for him specifically. Like yeah ok maybe he's just saying it bc he's jealous or whatever, but even then that just felt like a bizarre and overly mean line coming from him.

@taylorgayhart9497 Год назад

That was the general attitude about bisexuality until recently, think Sex and the City when Carrie said “I'm not even sure bisexuality exists. I think it's just a layover on the way to Gaytown.” Men who were bi were seen as “easing into” being gay, and women who were bi were seen as performing their sexuality for male attention. It wasn’t really until the mid-2010s that bisexuality and pansexuality were more broadly accepted.

"When it was good, there was nothing like it" sums it up very well. I was in my mid 20s when i watched glee and the teen drama and ridiculous story lines were grating at that point. BUT. Having been in some form of choir/chorus or musical theater group all through my time at school, when they were on stage and they hit those big notes, and you could see the emotion on the faces and hear the harmonies welling up like tsunamis - i cried. A LOT. If performing is your thing, then there is NOTHING like it. And glee reminded me of "my time in the spotlight" (if you can call it that lol). Yeah, it's ridiculous, over the top, silly, insane, exaggerated, just straight up DUMB sometimes. And viewed from today, the tokenism is just... oof. But the core of the show - people being passionate about music and performing - is something i will always be able to come back to and hysterically cry over. (Because i did not make it as a singer, like, at all. Singing makes me sad now. But glee reminds me of when i was still able yo dream, like the characters.)

There's a new Glee podcast hosted by Jenna Ushkowitz (Tina) and Kevin McHale (Artie). They interviewed Ryan Murphy in the first two episodes, and he said that if he could go back and do it again, he probably would have cancelled the show after Cory's death. He admitted that they filmed The Quarterback way too soon and that it wasn't good for any of them to go back to set so quickly. Kevin said that he and other cast members would occasionally just walk off set during takes to cry. I haven't watched that episode since it aired but I remember absolutely hating it. Glee was my happy place, and to see the characters and cast grieve so openly was not something that I (or they) needed. Also the last two seasons were just awful. They completely ruined so many beloved side characters by giving them horrible storylines (namely Blaine and Tina). They also spent four seasons using Coach Beiste's character to show us that being a woman could look however you wanted it to look, only to totally turn their backs on that and say 'a masculine woman must actually be a trans man.' Seriously, by the end of the show my fanfictions were better than what came out of that writers' room.

@froginatub Год назад

I'd agree with almost all of this, but I would gently push back on what you say about Bieste. I am a masculine woman myself, with a number of friends who are trans guys! A lot of them did think they were butch lesbians at first- it's a pretty natural assumption. It doesn't mean all butches are secret trans men, of course (I'm not) but it's certainly not not unrealistic! I also think it's a little unfair to pit masc women and trans guys "against" each other in this way, as if representation for trans men is a "loss" for Butch women in some way. I'm a "rising waters raise all ships" type. More acceptance of trans people will mean more acceptance of gender nonconformity; which is a win for masc women! Of course it would have been nice if Glee (or any show lol) had more masc women or trans characters on it, so they could all stand alone as characters rather than having to represent whole demographics, but I don't have any problem with the storyline itself!

@calmbbaer Год назад

Agreed about Beiste. It's probably the most Glee thing in Glee: Totally sacrificing canon and character development in the name of drama and agenda. It reminds me of Ally McBeal where Ling tells Fish that she doesn't like sex because it gets her too sweaty. Then, maybe an episode or two later, she tells him that she actually REALLY likes sex, as long as she gets REALLY sweaty. This is supposed to be a funny, character-building surprise, but it comes off as the writers just regretting and changing their mind about something and not respecting the audience enough to write within the limitations that they themselves set. Which, again, was Glee's defining characteristic since episode two. And, as for the politics of it, if Glee cared about the struggles of butch women, it would have made a different character into a trans man. And there's no way the money train of Glee would stop just because someone died, no matter what Murphy says now that there are no consequences for him saying so. It may sound callous, but, hey, that's Glee. I find it a total non-coincidence that a show that cared more about drama, agenda, quantity, and tokenism than characters, people, quality, non-toxicity, and compassion, had so many cast members who died young. You can tell the ALFs of the world - dated and cringe on the outside, chaotic and traumatic on the inside - from shows that are timeless and launch tremendous careers, like that other McKinley High show, Freaks and Geeks. To the detriment of its members, its longevity, and society, Glee was an ALF.

i never see anyone talk about this, but i think a major reason for the shows complete shift in tone and seemingly lack of direction during season 5 was largely due to the fact finn was, essentially, the heart of the show - it's clear most of the storylines planned would have relied on finn being there. like yeah, finn wasn't an amazing character but you can really feel the loss of cory monteith in the later seasons had a major impact on the shows overall feel and quality. another note: glee's main problem is it's refusal for their main characters to actually grow and develop. quinn was the only character that actually changed and grew and then (this is from memory, so i may be wrong on this) ryan murphy threw that away for petty reasons because he wanted quinn to stay the bitchy mean girl and dianna's portrayal of quinn meant he couldn't do that anymore.

36:08 The Glee train would muster on. That is until it got derailed. The editing and timing gave me chills. I was watching Glee during its prime and as a fan back then and partially still to this day. Cory's death was a horrible tragedy and no matter who you supported or even knew the show. July 13 2013 was a day of sorrow and also condolences. Some people to this day miss him.

@chrisdonohue3843 Год назад

All the criticisms of Glee are absolutely valid, but I think you fail to call enough attention to how groundbreaking Glee was at the time. Glee was one of the first shows ever to feature such a diverse cast where characters weren’t reduced to stereotypes, but actually had their identities explored (e.g. Asian F, where Mike Chang’s conflict between following his dreams or the path his parents have chosen for him takes center stage.) Also, Glee’s LGBT representation was a true first in mainstream television. You mentioned Kurt’s coming out as a main plot of Season 1, but make only a passing mention of Brittany & Santana in Season 2, which was arguably even more significant than Kurt’s coming out because it was something that was revealed over time. Glee also tackled a lot of serious social issues in ways that were appropriate and offered interesting commentary that explored multiple facets of the issue (e.g. religion in Grilled Cheesus, sexuality in Sexy, domestic violence in Choke, etc.) The experience of watching Glee in 2020 as an adult is entirely different from watching it during its original run as an adolescent coming to terms with their identity. Yes, any Glee fan acknowledges the countless plot holes, silly tropes, and painfully stupid moments, but Glee’s impact on pop culture and inclusion of underrepresented groups shouldn’t be overlooked.

@aliciasousa5889 4 месяца назад

Yes! I first watched glee when I was 10 y/o, and still to this day I can say how much I've learned with Glee, how to me, as kid, it was a way to open up my mind to the diversity of the world. Glee it's not something to be followed nowdays, but at that time, it was a ground breaking show.

I wish the story line of Brittany and Santana's love was mentioned. Their character development as a couple was actually beautiful and well-done, unlike maaannnyyy of the other plot lines. I loved the way they went through the motions of being confused and conflicted with their sexuality, and eventually created, in my opinion, the best relationship on the show.

@leahheapp 3 года назад

IM Corona it’s because of the feud between Naya and Lea. Naya asked producers to reduce her role in season 6, I believe because she wanted to focus on her music and other things probably due to how toxic it got. It’s a real shame because it would’ve been amazing to have focused on the original new directions in the last season and yeah, seen where Brittnay and Santana were at in life post-wedding.

The problem with Glee is literally Rachel (and the actor who played her). I was so sick of Glee constantly revolving around her while pushing mediocre or downright absurd storylines to literally every other character. The later seasons feel like a fever dream most of the time.

@1rockcrawford 3 года назад

Kurt, Santana, and Mercedes especially, got pushed into B-Plots for Rachel's boring repetitive plotline, and post-high school, it became abundantly obvious. Hearing from the cast about all of her bullying/hazing, it's not surprising she ate up much of the showtime; once the show took off, I don't doubt she threatened to walk if they didn't center things around her, as she was the main.

@lillyfaulkner7325 3 года назад

I hate how Kurt had a flipping amazing audition and blows everyone away, and Rachel chokes, but Rachel is the one to get in. Rachel is always succeeding, regardless of what she does, and Kurt is always failing, no matter how good he is. It's incredibly frustrating for me, both as someone who loves Kurt and from an unbiased POV.

@evetaylor7704 3 года назад

for real! It’s so unfair on kurt. let’s not forget he only got into NYADA because he was a friend of Rachel’s. And let’s not forget how the writers made him throw the diva off in season 1. like seriously. CMON!!! We needed a strong actor like Chris to break the male stereotype of having a deep voice and being masculine, and hitting that high note!!! (plus a really dark fact about this: when Chris was in high school he asked to sing this song in choir, and his teachers said no because he’s a boy. Ryan Murphy found out about this and decided to make this episode about this. Ryan Murphy is known for bullying Chris by bringing up things like this via Kurt.)

@lillyfaulkner7325 3 года назад

@@evetaylor7704 I knew about that! Like, maybe he doesn't want to think of that again, Ryan? I don't know Chris's true thoughts on that matter, but I don't think I'd be very happy. If Chris was okay with that, then like, okay. But I don't understand why Chris was not fully appreciated by people. He was such a talented actor, and writer, and he had many other talents that weren't even shown on the show. The writers were just unfair to both Chris, and Kurt. I wanted to see him win, and not on other people's conditions. Kurt's character had a huge amount of potential for a legendary triumph and I think the set up just led us to a very unfortunate disappointment. I still adore Kurt, but why'd they do him dirty like that?

@evetaylor7704 3 года назад

@@lillyfaulkner7325 precisely! many people believe it’s because Ryan Murphy is notorious for having bullied Chris through the character of Kurt (sourced from Naya Rivera’s tweets and news articles) so i believe Ryan did him dirty like this because he bullied Chris so didn’t give his character anything to cherish like the others. One example of Ryan’s bullying (i think most people know this but still) was when Naya was forced to stand there after the Britanna proposal and insult kurt/chris for roughly 4 minutes straight. Naya said in tweets and chris mentioned in some interviews that after every take of that scene, chris had to leave the set and cry :( before coming back on. Naya said she felt so uncomfortable and unhappy filming this scene and felt obliged to apologise to Chris when this was Ryan’s doing! Naya has stated that Ryan bullied Chris in ways like this throughout the entire show, some less obvious than others (like the defying gravity incident) but i believe that Ryan’s bullying of Chris meant that he took stuff away from this character, such as killer solos and character credit. I think Ryan was out of order for doing this, and personally i do not understand why he even wrote Chris into glee if all he was going to do was A) bully him through the character of Kurt. B) Take away everything Kurt came close to achieving, such as a Klaine wedding that Klaine shippers waited a whole season and year for (ik the Britanna-Klaine wedding happened and yes it’s my fav glee scene, but i mean an individual Klaine wedding, rather than a shared wedding with another couple) and C) Just sideline him all the time in the first three seasons! I think it was really unfair for Ryan to do this to such a sweet person who had gone through so much, but what irks me more is that Ryan used his weird hatred towards Chris and reflected it in Kurt, adding in snarky little remarks and lines that were, in fact, meant to hurt Chris and make him feel upset and reminded that he is different to most people. :(

@lillyfaulkner7325 3 года назад

@@evetaylor7704 OMG! I knew about both Chris and Naya being uncomfortable about that scene but somehow I missed that Chris had to cry. That makes me really sad. That scene was really gross. Like I get as an actor insults based on your looks, voice, and habits are naturally going to come your way, but that scene was deliberately making fun of his real insecurities, for example his smile. I don't pretend to know who Chris is but that's nasty! Yuck. And Chris was bullied so like, double ew. Also, I, as a Klaine shipper, was also disappointed in the double wedding. Like, I wanted a wedding focused on my favorite couple, and while I really like Brittana, it just took away focus. I was very mad about how they ruined Klaine, they had a pretty good romance going and then Blaine goes OOC and decides to cheat? They were definitely the most serious couple in Glee! It's not believable and it's honestly frustrating. And yes, why would you write someone into a show, LITERALLY write a whole new character in for someone, and then trash it like that? It makes no sense. Who deserved the bashing? Lea/Rachel. Who got it? Chris/Kurt. I can still appreciate some of Kurt's arch and all, but like... Another thing was that in interviews now, Chris does not seem like he's happy he was in Glee, which is just sad. I think one time, he (albeit indirectly) apologized for his role on Glee? He is one of the cast members that would refuse to do a reboot, not that I blame him, and one time he quoted Dolly Parton and basically said though he does not regret his memories, he would not relive them. Referring to Glee. It just makes me sad as one of his fans that he was so mistreated. And I hate that that sounds like me pretending to know him and know what happened because I don't, but from what I see, it was not fair. (Whew! Sorry about these long replies, I'm just a fangirl.)

I’m so confused at your description of the Rachel and Finn S3 ending cause it’s entirely the opposite of what actually happened. For me it captured what you were talking about with s1 doing so well - emotional stakes. Finn literally breaks up with her on their wedding day cause he acknowledges the reality that long distance and the work Rachel will need to put in to achieve her dream just won’t work congruently with their relationship. It’s quite arguably the most selfless thing a Glee character does (all to be undone 4 episodes later of course LOL).
