I'm Still Pretending Gravity Falls Isn't Over... 

I'm glad you talked about Inside Job. I'm not an adult cartoon kind of person, but Inside Job is just a masterpiece of adult entertainment. I was so sad when they said they were canceling the renewal. I honestly still hope the show is able to be picked back up by adult swim or something so they can continue it.

Gravity Falls is absolutely a top 10 show of the 2010s. One of the best animated series ever made. Of course the love hasn't died down.

I miss this show. The fan art and stories are great. I’m not crying you are.

I love that in the gravity falls parody episode in amphibia, they named Stanley Pines frog counterpart Mr.Ponds but they named Soos's counterpart Frog Soos, that one throwaway joke gets me every time

have you watched the fan episode "Return to the Bunker"? it's really well made, very good writing, feels like a lost episode almost It fleshes out characters and fits in right into mid to late season 2

As someone who has never watched Gravity Falls I can confirm: I’m gonna binge this now

One of my favorites is the "We'll Meet Again" song of Bill Cipher, the full version sang by Bill, Soos, Grunkle Stan and McGucket, aka just Alex Hirsch singing to himself for 1:48 when the show reached 10 years. I love that thing. Also, the phrase "We'll meet again", just let me live in denial lying to myself on the false hope Bill Cipher is alive and Gravity Falls will have 6 more seasons. :)

OK along with the ‘watching other shows with similar items to it’ is my personal fav Over The Garden Wall. It has dark undertones and has A LOT of unsolved mysteries and unexplained events

the experience of trying to solve the mystery as the show went on will forever be one of my favourite fandom experiences. people across the globe all interconnected and comparing notes with one another because we were all so invested in this show was an incredible and unique experience

12:45 actually in the blu-ray in one of the episode commentaries alex actually debunked this theory by basically saying that because of Stan's sheer mental power in that moment, he not only defeated bill but genuinely just deleted him from existence. So even if his memories recover, bill did not. However the axolotl theory could still be correct cause he didn't really talk about that. Yes I watched all of the 40 episode commentaries can you tell I like gravity falls?

I can’t believe it’s been 7 years since Gravity Falls ended, i feel so old ❤

As someone who has seen all of the mentioned shows i can confirm: watching these will fill the void in the moment but will leave you with an even bigger one after you realize there probably won't be another one of these shows... But hey, that's a problem for another day! So enjoy!

One of the things I regret the most not buying is the exclusive version of journal 3 that actually has the UV light feature which reveals a bunch of new content. Sadly it wasn't available in my country Btw: Rip Inside Job

Isn't the choose your own adventure book the one where you can find out more about the Axolotl that Bill mentions in his final backwards speech?

book of bill is coming in 2024.

Man, the fact that the shows that were meant to replace gravity falls are also over is making me feel even older.

I’m surprised the fan episode “Return to the bunker” wasn’t mentioned here- probably was just released too soon and this video was already through editing or some crap but still a shame. Hope it gets mentioned in a possible part 3 or some other video

Dead End: paranormal park is an underrated gem that absolutely captures the vibe of Gravity Falls

When Gravity Falls first aired, I was too young to watch it, but I finally got the chance to see it last summer and I loved it! It was a truly memorable time for me, and revisiting Gravity Falls takes me back to those fond memories. I also watched Amphibia at the same time and enjoyed it just as much. However, I haven't had the chance to watch Owl House yet, even though many people have recommended it to me. I have also heard great things about Over the Garden Wall.

I refuse to believe this show came out when I was 11... This show was the best. Up to this day I still rewatch it over and over again. I need a waddles plushie pls

Over 11 years old that’s crazy and people are still watching and we all miss it but still get stuff here and there but always wished there were new seasons

Dead End: Paranormal Park (Based off of a series of graphic novels) is also such a great cartoon to watch if you miss Gravity Falls!! Agh, it's so good. There is plenty of great representation, AND ALEX BRIGHTMAN.

I just wish there were more seasons, I miss this show 😭

"Wrapped up properly" is a bit of a stretch when it comes to the Owl House. Disney cutting the show short could have let the final season be paced properly, and would have given us full episodes on all the events depicted in the photos in season 3 episode 1. Also, Dana Terrace hinted that the storyline she wanted to pursue more was about young Eda and Raine, so we could have gotten that too!

How long does it take this man to learn about the Bill Cipher hunt

I had a TON of Gravity Falls stuff such as... -An AWSOME coloring book themed around a color monster that told a story, had cool effects like sparkles and shiny drawings, and a bunch of color facts by Mabel! It was like an episode from the show in a coloring book. -A classic journal 3 -The 2 books featured in this video -A comic book that told the story of the first episode These were really cool and I am so glad I had them

The Choose-You-Own-Venture book actually has an entire secret ending that leads you a page that only exists on a website that holds just that page, which gives some insight to the mysterious “A-X-O-L-O-T-L” Bill mentions in the Weirdmageddon finale

"with a regrettable voice actor, Blendin Blandon" 100% was not expecting that joke and I just audibly busted out laughing on my front porch

Fun fact: Alex Hirsch has said the character design was inspired by Jim Henson’s The Muppets

If you ever want to do another video on Gravity Falls denial you still have other content to talk about. It's not canon but fans have made lots of amazing things related to it in the past few years including a fan made episodes, podcasts (one with Alex in it) Art books and zines/magazines! There's also the charity art streams (2016-2018 ish I believe). And amazing youtubers still doing long analysis videos (such as Hana) and such. The fans have really kept the show alive for this many years and are such an amazing community!!

My favorite Gravity Falls breadcrumb is that you can see Bill in the theme song from the very first episode. That's dedication to the breadcrumb trail!

12:52 Gold-Colored Nacho Necklace XD

a yes. "Dipper and mable and the curse of the time pirates treasure" the book that made everyone believe in a season 3

Im a little surprised you didnt mention the vinyl! Idk how accessible it is nowadays since i preordered it, but there is absolutely gorgeous original art as well as many backwards and hidden messages (my favorite is the first one, which played in reverse reveals its just soos saying “playing your record backwards is a great way to damage your record player!”)

Everything you mentioned as making the new Duck Tales more like Gravity Falls was actually present in the original show in the 80s. They may have fine tuned it a little, but you make it sound like things like the Junior Woodchuck Handbook was a brand new invention.

To add to the list of good cartoons to watch in gravity falls' absence , -Hilda -KIPO and the age of the wonder beasts -The Dragon Prince

Decade old….. I go cry now

You know, it's even funnier when you point it out Disney: puts out Gravity Falls, a show so wildly successful that it reshaped the foundation of animated shows Disney: makes 3 more shows with the same vibe that are immediate fan favorites and also on their way to being wildly successful Disney: *cancels specifically all 3 of them at once* No I'm still not over it, I'll never forgive them 😭

10:15 it’s also “the only show where I forget I’m leaning on the soldiering iron,OW!”

No way you made a video about Gravity falls literal DAYS after I finally started (and finished) watching it. More content to watch I guess :)

I managed to get my mom into gravity falls during quarantine and it’s become tradition for us to rewatch the series together a ton

13:39 in case you didn’t know the backwards message he says, no refunds, no refunds

3:27 “and even bill cipher” Me: W H A T ! ? ! ? !

So happy someone is talking about Inside Job cause as someone who was a kid when Gravity Falls was airing Inside job really is just a masterpiece they did release the second season but they cancelled it AGAIN which like ended on another cliffhanger and I LOVE this show and honestly I would do anything to get it renewed

13:28 I'm pretty sure thats a refrence to the deer teeth bill offered gideon in his first appearence

For the puppet shows part of the video turns out that it is canon so technically that means that bill is still alive and the theory is confirmed

I remember adult fans over analyzing the Bill pages in Dipper & Mabel’s guide. Hiatuses while grueling, were some of the best times because of all the fan content.

I was born when gravity falls came out but I got into the show which im proof that even this generation can enjoy old shows :D

I have rewatched Gravity Falls so many times that I have whole scenes memorized. I'll find myself saying the lines with the characters while watching the show.

as a person whos watched gravity falls, amphibia, and owl house i cant go to school with out coming up with glyph combos and coming up with my own gravity falls creature and making an entire new form of the calamity box

12:05 I just love the episode 5 reference to dhmis

Well with the theory that Bill lives in Stan's head, it sets up a good plot for a potential Disney+ original movie.

While I may not have been around to watch the entire Gravity Falls show when it first started to when it ended, I did recently watch it earlier in the year on Disney+, and I get why people love this show it's so fricking good and also I think you may have missed out on one show that also captures the Gravity Falls feeling, it's also on Netflix but it's a live-action show and I think people know what I'm talking about cause I've watched it recently aswell and I am obsessed with it! (Also, I would love if Alex Hirsch made a Gravity Falls standalone animated series or a movie!)

I literally watched every single one of these shows over a dozen times and recommended them to friends so that we could talk about just because I was scared about them fading from my memory I’m so glad that they are getting the recognition that they deserve

finally someone putting some light on inside job it’s a great show and honestly I’ve seen every single episode at least two or three times and I’ve only seen a video about it once and to know that someone is putting some light onto it and giving it the respect that it needs I really appreciate that

I'm surprised you didn't talk about that youtube animated fan episode that came out recently it was basically a full episode and very well made with pretty good voice acting as well

still pretending its not over too. i love this show so much, it'll always be a part of me. i love how people are still making videos about it.

i wish i couldve watched gravity falls as it was coming out, i cant imagine the hype there must have been with each episode but i was like 10 in 2016 and didnt really watch tv. think i really only first watched the show during covid. man i swear the 2010s teenagers got the best era to be teenagers in

When you talked about all the shorts, it brought back memories of me watching these constantly after the show ended even the puppet ones

Man I swear this series is always gonna be entertaining

The reason why he started a new book is cuz the jurnunul 3 got destroyed

someone just shook bill cipher's hand from the statue at the ending scene of the final episode, it allowed him to get into their mind and become revived

4:21 I have that, don’t know where this is now

Grunkle Stan does kinda look like a cheap badger animatronic 17:08

Its really awsome to see how much the fandom still hasnt died out! And im really glad that it didn’t get like 6 more seasons becuase i personally think gravity falls would've lost its charm

I don’t know if you saw the Bad Egg Studios Gravity Falls collection but all of the stuff was so amazing! I bought the Bill Cipher ita bag and it arrived today and it is gorgeous! I’m not sure if they are still selling some of the items but it is definitely worth the check out as they have a heap of cool drops. They also worked with Alex on the collection which makes it that little more special

22:01 This makes me happy because Amphibia is my favorite fictional story of all time. It's one of only four fiction stories that have made me cry.

This is one of my favorite shows, it’s so sad to see that it has nothing new anymore

It's so nice when footaferret talks about a show i know and relate so well its also kinda weird.

makes me want to watch the show all over again 😭 my favorite piece of Gravity Falls media is a web game that used to be on the Disney site that I can’t remember the name of but it was like an adventure game where you had to go around the town and find clues and stuff to save the town or something. It was SO fun and I played through it a bunch of times.

Sounded like bill cipher right there 14:32

Gravity falls will never die I swear

Gravity Falls really is an absolute masterpiece

11:22 damn, his got ptsd from fnaf

Have you seen the old man McGucket puppet shorts? They're just as cursed as the Grunkle Stan ones

To bad it ended this show was amazing 😢

In my opinion, I'd say The Owl House is the closest to Gravity Falls. Despite having little things in the show and other stuff about TOH in the Gravity Falls graphic novel book (Eda's staff, Eda's wanted picture, and a page of the Boiling Isles in one of the Journals) there has been/was a thing going around about Eda possibly being Grunkle Stans ex-wife with his description fitting her and the cover-up name she used in the human realm. There's probably a whole video about it on RU-vid that better explains it.

I don't want a season 3, but i do want some kind of Disney+ spin-off series about Stan & Ford's adventures in the Stan o' War II.

3:05 - Journal 3 was destroyed, so it actually does make sense.

If you miss gravity falls 👇

I love this series, and I can't wait for pretending owl house isn't over

Still cant believe its turning 12 years old this year.

Might I add the connection to puppet Stan with the deer teeth and the deer teeth at the beginning of the series with the early interaction to Bill

17:48 no, a piece of paper rolled up

There’s more content online that you didn’t touch here. I don’t know if you talked about these stuff before, but what has been helping to cope lately is: - It’s Gonna Get Weird animation on RU-vid, animation revolving a deleted villain song for Bill Cipher - Into the Bunker, a fan-made new episode that is really good - Some other deleted show stuff I sometimes happen to find on the internet.

11:16 that stan is from sock opera, where mabel and dipper do have physical puppets. So not showing them is more of a a stylistic choice.

Another show that has heavy Gravity Falls vibes is Infinity Train. They do such an excellent job of fleshing out the world and stories in the exact same amount of episodes as Gravity Falls. Sucks it was basically screwed over so it’s basically impossible to watch it legally

Dude, I was laughing at the Don't Hug Me I'm Scared jokes because I've actually watched it before because my bestie is obsessed with it. But that aside, I loved this video! This summer I've already rewatched both Gravity Falls and Amphibia for like, the 5th time! I'm about to watch The Owl House for a 3rd time. I finished Amphibia a couple days ago and was literally crying into a pillow afterwards! That ending gets more sad the more I watch it. I'm with Footofaferret when I say that I like Amphibia more than Gravity Falls and that it's my favorite Disney series to date. I honestly don't see how you could get any better. It's a show full of humor, heartbreak, and a lot of epic moments that really draw you in. It has a lot of different scenery in each season. (There are 3 seasons btw.) It has an amazing story, lovable characters, and a great message about change. I recommend it to any Gravity Falls fan. Even if you aren't an amphibian person, I recommend it. See, I've always loved frogs, so I think that's part of what drew me in, but it's a show anyone can enjoy. If you aren't an amphibian person, you might just be one after you watch Amphibia. It has a cute and interesting perspective on how a frog might see normal, everyday things for a human. It's a show I recommend to anyone. It's even a show I would recommend to a Studio Ghibli fan. I love how this is a video all about Gravity Falls and my comment is just explaining why people should watch Amphibia XD. Thank you for this video Footofaferret. It was an enjoyment. ❤❤❤

Nice timing, just finished my rewatch of Gravity Falls like two days ago

14:51 Trust me, they can't be as far as bad as the tf2 merchandise. They're also 4 times more expensive at the lowest than those 150 dollar figurines.

Sadly they stopped printing the "See you next summer" letter in later releases of the Blu-Ray collection, so I never got it since I got mine in 2022. I'm so happy that I got it when I did since the collection is discontinued now.

i have the lost legends from chistmas last year...and i still read it over and over again

Watched Gravity Falls in 2019 for the first time and absolutely loved it. Alex Hirsch's work is fantastic. Coming from a 90's kid

8:21 as a blu ray collector this hurt me

Same, and it hasn’t even been a week since I’ve finished the show.

RIP inside job 😥

The video came out at like the best possible timing

Guys, they have just announced the book of bill. Pre order it!

0:06 i dont wana be old nooo 😭

I finally clawed my way out of this rabbit hole. Now im getting pulled back in
