HOLY WATER!~ "Saturday Morning Funtime" GOOD OMENS 1x04 REACTION! 

When aziraphale gets all sad about the "loose the gut" line, it's not because he was being "body" shamed per se, but because the angels and demons CHOOSE their corporeal form, and Azi CHOSE to be huggable and pleasant because thats how HE SEES HIMSELF!! HES SOFT AND SWEET LIKE THE DESSERTS HE CHERISHES SO MUCH

Michael Sheen perfectly sells that Aziraphale has never used the word "fuck" before, but there's just no other way to put it.

Fun fact : at the end of the Gavotte, there's a kiss. Makes you wonder why the first angel to ever dance would want to learn that particular one, doesn't it?

"He" is a good pronoun to use for Aziraphale and Crowley because in the original source (the 1990 novel) the authors use "he/him" for them consistently and the characters always use those pronouns for themselves and each other.

Making people get emotional over books burning was Neil Gaiman's plan all along

The reason that azairafale said “I know who you are you idiot, I called you” is because he had never heard crowlys answering machine before because Crowley always answers his calls immediately

what kills me about the "lets run away together" scene is that "i wont even think about you!!" is such a breakup line 😂

1:32 The good omens fandom is actually so nice and not at all toxic theres no real shipping wars and we all agree on headcannons

Oh oh, fun fact, in the scene in the movie theater if you look you can see someone asleep/passed out in a seat a few rows ahead. That's Neil Gaiman! Also Terry Pratchett's hat and scarf can be seen in Aziraphale's bookshop.

Another perhaps unexpected but wonderful thing to find space and nourishment in this fandom/ship is body positivity, because ABSOLUTELY NO ONE CAN SAY A WORD AGAINST OUR SOFT ANGEL. See the uncountable works of art and fic not only celebrating and adoring Aziraphale just as he is, but making it quite clear that cool, slim, stylish Crowley finds him irresistible.

Death is a regular character in the novels of the late Terry Pratchett, this one and the Discworld series. His voice is impressive, in fact he always speaks in capitals, like this: COWER, BRIEF MORTALS, FOR I AM DEATH, THE ULTIMATE VANQUISHER; AND THIS IS MY HORSE, BINKY, because yeah, that’s the name of his horse. I miss Pratchett so, so much.

8:43 It always makes me laugh that the story had Pestilence be retired from the Four Horseman and then the pandemic happened a year after the show aired.

The manuscript that the candle sets on fire at the end is the screenplay for The Sound of Music. Galifray is one of the planets that is floating around Crowley when he's looking for somewhere to escape too, which is the home of the Time Lords from Dr Who that Tennant played the lead role in for a while. Another Dr Who easter egg is the guy who tells Aziraphale 'youre better off without him' is an actor who played a fan favourite character in Dr Who called Strax

Okay so to answer your question the nipple thing is part of a real world text on how to identify witches. It's called the "Malleus Maleficarum" and was penned by the German Catholic clergyman Heinrich Kramer, first published in 1486. Channels here on RU-vid bring it up a LOT if they end up covering historical accounts of witches and their trials.

12:49 The reason that Shadwell is focused on the number of nipples people have is because an old belief stated that a witch manifested a "witch's mark" on their body where the devil(or a demonic familiar assigned to the witch by the devil) would draw nourishment as part of the demonic contract that gave the witch powers. Sometimes it was an unusually large or unusually-shaped mole or birthmark; sometimes it was an actual extra nipple that some people are born with irl. The "mark" was also supposed to not feel pain, so the pin Shadwell mentions was used to prick the suspected witch all over and if any place didn't produce the expected pain response, that place might be considered the "witch's mark".

The portrait hiding the safe is a copy of Leonardo da Vinci's most famous painting, the Mona Lisa, rather than a picture of Mary.

The original book states that angels and demons are sexless unless they consciously make an effort (fun fact: because of that line "effort" is a common euphemism for genitals in this fandom XD). Both Aziraphale and Crowley seem to use "he/him" but only Aziraphale is consistently male-presenting. It is still unknown why Crowley fell but I'm pretty sure we should be careful just believing his version of the story ;)

The witch-lady's name is said Ann-ATH-uh-muh. It's actually a word that means "something that is intensely hated." As in "He hated vegetables, so spinach was anathema to him."

Yessssss, Morgan is a part of the ineffable husbands shippers! We gather at Wednesdays to eat cookies and cry. Can't wait for you to watch the next episodes! Love this show so muuuuch

technically he's not actually killing the demons, he's discorporating them, basically destroying their earthly vessels. They just get yeeted back to hell and have to wait for a new body to be made/assigned to them. So they're fine just, inconvenienced for a bit. Edit: since I made the mistake of not clarifying, I was talking about what Hastur was doing, not Crowley. I know Crowly was killing them with holy water.

Aziraphale saying "fuck" was almost as shocking as Alastor saying it 😂

I loved Pollution in the book, and the tv adaptation did such a good job of showing their uncannyness -- favourite horseperson of the apocalypse, right there

Wouldn't want to be anywhere near him, but I do love how unhinged Hastur is 😂

“Is this a kink?” Best Morgan quote ever

Morgan's going to die on the spot when Furfur appears. I can already hear the "OH SHIT THAT'S ME."

So Metatron is the "voice of god" or "the word of god", the high angel that basically talk with the authority of god, but in short and simple way you can say the Metatron is god secretary

The Good Omens fandom has bonded through our shared trauma 😢

The 2 guys digging the tunnel, are Tibetans, of course. All things written in the magazine are manifested by Adam. As for his disbelief in the Internet, the book was written almost 30 years ago. O Tempores, o Mores. As in, things change. Sometimes.

The demon Michael the archangel is talking to on the phone is named Ligur. Pronounced Lie-ger.

"And I heard, as it were, the noise of thunder One of the four beasts saying, 'Come and see.' and I saw, and behold a white horse"

That’s not Mary😂 that’s La Giaconda aka The Mona Lisa. Specifically that’s an artist sketch of it. It has a dedication written on it in Italian that says something like “to my friend Anthony from your friend Leo da V”

"The theme that got left in the car" is in my playlist. (Each episode ends with a different rendition of the theme and that was episode 1.) The joke from the book is that any musical recording left in Crowley's Bentley long enough slowly morphs into "The best of Queen", and along the way you get Bach cantatas wailing away on electric guitar and so on.

This episode is a *goldmine* for fans like you and I, lol. Plus, there's truly no way to describe how illegal that cliffhanger is without watching it yourself. Get ready. The next episodes somehow go EVEN FURTHER off the rails. I'm super excited to see your reactions to those!

I'm loving your reactions! I appreciate how into shipping you've gotten with Crowley & Aziraphale--they're so sweet together.

the idea that hell is overpopulated here too and in dire need of more repairs and space is so cool

That is how we ended up binging the hell out of both seasons! We were so invested and needed answers!

Welcome to the works of Neil Gaiman and especially Sir Terry Pratchett (mayherestinpeace). They are ridiculous, funny and ridiculously funny, and then they sucker punch you right in the feels.

I really love how much YOU love Aziraphale!

Thanks for your reactions. Fans of the show tend to be people with a good sense of humor and we appreciate someone discovering it for the first time. This series is based on a short novel written by Neil Gaiman and the late Terry Pratchett (two fantasy and storyteller geniuses). I hope one day you have The Sandmand (Neil Gaiman's masterpiece) on your list of things to react to. There are 11 incredible chapters of urban fantasy. Greetings from Spain

The reason the Witchfinder Sergeant is obsessed with how many nipples someone has is because one of the many signs that someone is a witch--according to witchfinders--is that they posess the so-called "mark of the beast." This can be a mole or an extra nipple. If you poke it with a needle and they feel no pain, then they're a witch.

Listen. When I read this book in the dark ages, (1996? 97?) it had a DISTINCT Terry Pratchett feel. The bookshop had me on edge and actively agitated. When I watched the next episode and I tell you I WEPT, went back to the book, reread the source material and it was shot by shot nearly word for word, but the VIBES. Someone hurt Neil Gaiman and he turned around and hurt us. He is Not. Even. Sorry.

Newton's 3-wheeled car is a Reliant Robin (hence "Robin's blue chariot") "Telly" is British slang for television

So excited! I've been watching for your next Good Omens upload. Just found your channel through it because I watch literally every Good Omens reaction I can get my hands on. Enjoy!

I'm so glad the fandom has been good to you so far! I've been loving these reactions, I can't wait for the next one!

Ahhh I've been really enjoying your good omens reactions so I zoomed straight here when I saw this upload!

I just want to tell you that I really appreciate that you exist.

A great episode. The next two are my favourite and yes we watched the last three back to back- it really gets you invested. On a personal note, when the series started I was all for team dark broody Crowley.. but as the series progressed I realised that actually I’m only projecting onto Crowley -and it was our little soft marshmallow Aziraphale who absolutely stole my heart.

Are you unfamiliar with Atlantis? I apologize if this is unnecessary, but Atlantis was initially a fictional Island told about by Plato in the times of ancient Greece. Atlantis was an arrogant nation with a massive navy, but after they failed to conquer Athens, they lost favor with the gods and the island was sunk beneath the sea. The legend of Atlantis has popped up in numerous places throughout literature, even in DC Comic books (as Atlantis is where Aquaman is king) not to mention a really great song by Donovan! :)

So the nipple thing is because it was believed that one way you could identify a witch is that they would have an extra nipple that they would suckle the devil (or their demonic/fae familiar, depending on time/region) at.

2:22 In German she says "Exterminate". 😂

I love that youre lisining to playlists of aziracrow I have a question, how many queen songs youve already lisen on those? The good omens fandom is the number 1 fan of queen lmao

Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman both focused on the love of people when they made Good Omens, so I find a lot of us fans try hard to be the same. Welcome! We're really glad you're having a great time. You're noticing something really vital about both authors' literary ideologies, especially Pratchett. He was *super* aware of every rotten, horrible thing people did in the world, but also believed that individuals could do the right thing in the right ways. Very much "Sure, people choose to do the wrong thing most of the time, but isn't it amazing when they choose to do the RIGHT one?" I REALLY recommend the Hogfather miniseries for you if the commentary in Good Omens is something you like.

I get so excited when I see you upload! Hope the world is treating you well ^~^

I am so invested in your reactions! But I do hope you won't see or hear any spoilers, especially when you mention certain things that MIGHT come up later! Keep it all coming - you will find this is, indeed, a great and welcoming fandom, and we can't wait for you to discover all that G.O. has to offer!

Have you not noticed that “Madam Tracy” seems to enjoy the abuse from Shadwell just a little too much?

Glad to see the fandom's treating you well, we're rather well known as an inclusive and friendly bunch :) Good Omens is a perfect blend of Terry Pratchett's and Neil Gaiman's styles and I'm pretty sure most fans of one are also fans of the other. Something that was pointed out to me by my other mother when she watched the show was that Azirephale, the "good" angel, is shown going along with whatever horrible things his side says to do even if he's unhappy about it while Crowley, the "bad" angel, is the one who keeps saying "hey, this isn't right" and standing up for the humans

Last episode I legit did a drinking game with a bottle of water for every time they mispronounced Aziraphales name and i actually did end up drinking the entire bottle. xD Jokes Aside I am living for these reactions.

The Metatron is an angel that in legend acts as the voice of God--because for humans to hear God's voice directly would hurt them as it's supposedly too powerful for human ears to stand. So in this episode Aziraphale's basically talking to God's PR guy.

I love how much stuff is in the prophecies: Newt's car is called a Reliant Robin, hence the Robin's blue chariot Aching his head for willow fine - the bark of the willow tree has a chemical compound similar to aspirin, cause he got hurt in the car crash and needed painkillers 😁 And another fun fact is that in the book Pestilence retired after the discovery of penicillin, iirc 😁 I can never get over how indignant Aziraphale gets when Shadwell says he's been seducing women 🤣🤣🤣 And then that Fuck is just the most perfect delivery 🤣🤣🤣 I always love when someone is so enthusiastic about a show I love so much, can't wait to see your reactions to the rest of Good omens 😊

to be fair, in the book Madam Tracy appreceated the Witchfinder's comments, considering them "free advertising" the Metatron is considered the "Voice of God" an angelic intermediary as humans can't handle the power of God's voice

“I forgive you” i really hate that word 😢

I love the fact that Aziraphale always chooses to to dig his heels in and *protect* humanity because that was his very first job. He guarded the first humans both in the Garden of Eden and then gifted them an extension of himself to protect them once they were exiled. He knows that humanity is the priority, and that faithful stubbornness such a great aspect of his character.

I recently discovered you through your Hazbin Hotel reactions. I love that you’re taking me back to the last show I was fully obsessed with before Hazbin now. Good Omens has the most kind and wholesome fandom I’ve ever encountered. I go on Reddit and see shipping wars in some of my anime fandoms, and the Good Omens sub is sharing hot coco recipes

Welcome to the fandom! Try to avoid spoilers (though I know it's hard), it'll make everything more fun! I love how much you care about our baby bois!!

😂This fandom will be so gentle and wholesome with you. For the most part, it's a silly, adorable, lighthearted show. I...wish I could say more on that subject, but yes: you can expect the fans to be very kind to you. Weirdly I haven't even seen people get vicious about... ahem... we'll just say slightly more... emotional parts. They're all still really civil and sweet and just supportive, lol, so you're pretty safe here.

32:53 This reaction is everything! Aziraphale swearing for the first time outside of “Hell” and “Damn” is hilarious

Absolutely loving your reactions and how invested you're getting! I feel like with how much you are shipping Azraphale and Crowley, you would really enjoy Our Flag Means Death. I would LOVE to see you react to that!

I love the trick Crowley pulls on Hastur. It so reminds me of the 10th Doctor. (In case you're unaware, David Tennant as the 10th Doctor is one of the best and most popular Doctors in Doctor Who.) He also pulls another similar tactic in season 2. Well, a different one, but it was very Doctor-y in my opinion.

Welcome to the Good Omens fandom! Where we all love to congregate around the new folks and watch their emotional rollercoaster of watching this "comedy".

Thank you for making my day Morgan 😊

the nipple thing is that it used to be believed that witches have an extra nipple ... I have no idea where that came from, but that was a standard of witchfinders back in the bad old days.

So glad you are enjoying this! A couple things to expand: - Heaven as such doesn't have a direct line with Hell (just look at Gabriel's confused face when talking about 'back channels'), *Michael* does. And as far as we know, she's the only one. Ligur is one of her contacts down there but not the only one. Personally, I find Michael one of the most interesting characters in the show by far (and the most underrated one). She not only very clearly has her own agenda, but when you pay attention to her she acts in a very different way from the all the rest of the angels we meet. She's probably the wildest card of all the characters in the series, and I'm *eager* to see her in S3! - Crowley's fall is still a mistery. But a thing most people don't know/forget is that Neil Gaiman himself has said that Crowley is an unreliable narrator when talking about this issue. - Now that he's coming into his power as AntiChrist, Adam's will is absolute: what he wants/believes/dreams, comes true.

Death has always felt especially cosmic in Terry Pratchett’s work. Diskworld is still the best but I do love how the intro for the GO version has that starry effect. It’s just so cool

You made my day.

if this is your feels to season 1 then you are so not ready for season 2. prepared tissues and something to hug and a little tea bud!

I lost it at: 'Rome?!' I am love love loving your reaction - you are so fun to watch. Been waiting for you to update!

In the witch hunts, accused witches could be strip searched and checked for a third nipple. A skin tag (something we would have removed by a dermatologist and biopsied now) would count as a third nipple.

The book this is based on was jointly written by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. Terry sadly passed years before the show was made, but if you're familiar with his style you can definitely see his contributions to this story I'm convinced the Tibetan tunnels joke was one of his, it feels like something right out of the Discworld books

Hi, I just started following you on RU-vid and I really love your reactions. I binged your reactions to Hazbin hotel and helluva boss and really enjoyed watching them. I also love how much you love the Az and Crowley ship and definitely can’t wait for your season 2 reaction. I do want to say that I love your shirt in this video of the look my way stolitz shirt. I just joined the Hazbin hotel/helluva boss fandom and I am a total stolitz and huskerdust shipper. I love the emotion you put into this and how real you are on these reactions. I am wondering where you get your helluva boss/Hazbin hotel merchandise because it’s all adorable. Hope everything has been going well and can’t wait for your next reaction!

The Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman fandoms are famously welcoming. So yeah I'm glad that you're experiencing that side of things. And yeah in the original books they use he/him pronouns but also point out that angels don't have genders.

I feel your frustration with Heaven wanting a war so bad. You're going to be even more pissed later on as to why and the outcome.

12:50 witches have 3, or oodles and oodles if you ask crowley.

OH MY GOD! I LOVE the way you have been pulled into the fandom and shipping Crowley and Aziraphale. ❤ Btw, whereas other fandoms can be nasty and catty, this fandom is absolutely sweet, just like Aziraphale! Really lovely and supportive to each other, you're going to love it! ❤ Oh and welcome to the mad house! Your every waking thought will be consumed by these two idiots, you will see things that remind you of them EVERYWHERE and every song (especially Queen and Hozier) will remind you of them!

God I hope you watch the second season right after this one. I'm so hyped for your reaction to this :D

I subscribed to your channel because I am loving your reactions to Good Omens. I highly recommend reacting to Our Flag Means Death if you haven’t seen it already. Since you’re liking Good Omens, you’ll like OFMD as well. The episodes are shorter, and there’s sadly only two season.

"Is this a kink??" Unfortunately, no. Its a shoutout to how "witches" were found back in witchtrials. An extra nipple was seen as a sign of the devil, to "feed their familiars" as they put it. 😅

im really enjoying watching you react to a show i love so much... i think youll really enjoy season 2.

The novel "Good omens" was a co-authorship. Neil Gaiman wrote it together with brilliant satirist and humanist Terry Pratchett. I reccomend you look into Pratchett.

Your little exasperated noises are so adorable 🤣

12:40 - Historically, witch hunters believed that witches had a third nipple that a familiar demon could use to drink blood from. In practice any sort of wart or even scuff would pass for "evidence" when a witchfinder wanted to find it. Shadwell, who sincerely believes in everything written about witches, takes it more literally.

The tone of 'they wanna have a war' hits my heart in a very specific way 😂

I'm not an expert on Angels, but I can say that the angel Aziraphale was speaking to was the Metatron. The Metatron is considered to be the 'voice of God,' because in traditional lore they are the only angel that is allowed to speak to God. In fact, I believe in some versions of lore the Metatron is the only angel that ever is allowed to even be in God's presence and no other angel has ever even met God. Also, on the topic of gender there's a fun little easter egg that was talked about a lot when the show first came out. In the previous episode, we see Crowley and Aziraphale throughout the centuries. I know that in the scene with Noah, Crowley's garments are modeled off of women's clothing of the time period. Aziraphale seems to consistently present as masculine, whereas Crowley seems to flit between masculine and feminine. I just think it's a neat detail. =3=

I'm so glad the fandom is being kind to you!

We hate the sight of the bookshop burning because it means a lot to us and especially to our favourite angel 🥰 You better pump out the next one quick, these are the highlight of my day :)

I good way to remember how to pronounce Aziraphail, is to to remember Zira. If you can remember that part, then all you have to remember after that is A-zira-phail.

I cannot WAIT to see your reaction to the next episode XD

2:38 More like his dreams come true or anything he imagines or REALLY believes in

The struggle to not binge this series is real. I love it so much I have Aziraphale's angel wings mug, Good Omens stickers all over my car and an Aziraphale plush. I have Zero Chill with this show lol

First of all, Hi! How are you doing? Thank you so much for reacting to this show, you have such a nice vibe and I’ve love you since ep 1. I really hope you would react to season 2 after this. BTW, I don’t know if other have already commented but in the scene of the cinema, when Hastur appears as the rabbit, you can see another man in the room, and that’s Neil Gaiman, one of the authors 😊 (Sorry if I made any mistakes, English is not my first language, greetings and love from Mexico ❤)

I love your videos so much!
