@@tuckernutter I think our parents try to break the generational cycles and curses that impacted them the most and they either get it right or they overcorrect.
@@michaelanderson7288 I feel like they may have mentioned, but you're right, Amy being Helen's sister is kind of a BIG deal in the episode. Wish I had the time to rewatch this, I somehow had more free time in my last few years of college to rewatch, same with Clone High's first season (which I'd probably have to rewatch before I watch S2) and Undergrads
Now all she needs is both a regular drivers license and a Class A CDL (commercial drivers license) with the name of Daria Morgendorffer Sloane to sometimes drive the 1973 Chevrolet Titan/90 cabover semi truck alongside of Tom.
I have more in common with my aunties than I do my mother and grandmothers. You can give birth to a child, but that doesn’t mean that your child will be anything like you. Never scorn a woman who never had children, you may be raising her replica 😂
Same. I love being the cool aunt. Both my niece and nephew idolise me. Mostly because I dress and act different from my over-the-top sister. My sister and I couldn't be more different. We were like Quinn and Daria. Me as Daria, her Quinn. I still see her as Quinn now she 40.
Same. I freaked when I saw the car she drove as an adult. I didn’t realize it was a Triumph Spitfire when I was a teen. I just assumed it was some generic convertible. In my 20s, I ended up buying a 1967 Triumph GT6. It’s the fastback version of her car, only it has 6 cylinders instead of four. The DVD box set of Daria was released a few months later. It was then when I discovered what she really drove. Everyone else my age now would drive some boring white or black SUV/crossover, and anyone else who didn’t clearly must be “weird.”
"I have vague memories of high school. But these days, you all carry weapons right?" "Not to formal events like this." "That's where you kids make your mistakes." Damn!😅😂
A soft continuation of the show would be nice. But nit in modern times, keep it in the early to mid 2000s because I miss when shows were set in those days.
@@tuckernutter I kind of agree, but my motivation more comes from how tired I am of seeing characters I enjoyed as a preteen and proper teen or even early 20 something coming back having to deal with their own kids in wAcKy SItUaTiOnS. Daria is one of those characters I could honestly see not having kids, but I could also see some nostaliga grabbing show throwing her into the role of guardian for Quinn's children for a summer or something like that. Seeing her as a young adult in the early 2000s would be much better.
Even the episode would be called "Weekend at Amy's." *Jane:* So why are you bringing me along? *Daria:* Well you've only heard of my Aunt Amy, I thought you'd see her for yourself. But I gotta warn you, she can be very sharp. *Jane:* She can't be as sharp as you. *Daria:* 😏 *Jane:* Oh damn.....but she grew out of it right? *They knock on the door and see not only Amy, but a friend of her's that looks suspiciously like an older Jane* *Jane:* My god, there's two of us.
I'm just so glad to see Daria clips popping up. It's a superb show, and shouldn't be allowed to fade away. It may be very 90s, but the writing was just too good not to transcend that.
Daria and Aunt Amy have so much in common: they look similar in appearance and share a sarcastic sense of humor: that's the Morgendorfer genes for you. Helen wears the pants in the family, but Jake is a clueless doormat of a father. 🤣🤣🤣
Well, virtually everybody who encounters him in the episode does. The last ones beat him up. Besides, Quinn is fairly aromantic and somewhat asexual. She just likes the attention and perks of dating. She literally planned to go out with one guy because his parents had a ski house.
@@black_nerdy It's gathering dust, but I can't really part with it, unlike some other stuff, like Viva La Bam. May even part with the Jackass stuff, but it's harder to find
@@phoebes2036 I'd have to rewatch it, have digital version I got, sold the DVD set at a mild profit (maybe? I don't remember how much I paid). The jokes I recall are pretty neutral, though they're in the vein of the kind of stuff called "pranks" these days that are almost excessive. Rake having a lobster shoved down his shorts or Ryan being cling wrapped to his bed, which I still recall the lines, "What the f*ck is around me?"
Growing up is realizing this is more common than you think. One of my nephews has hair that’s more like mine but his face is like my sister-in-law’s Mother, his maternal grandmother. My nieces each look like one of their aunts. It’s like a pool of genetics and sometimes it distributes differently.
With aunt Amy was actually Daria from the future traveling back in time, visiting her past self, and diarrhea from the past does not know that and the reason Daria Mom thanks Amy is her sister is because of mine control so no one would ever suspect that Amy is secretly Daria from the future so that way in reality Daria Mom does not really have a sister name Amy
I could see that Amy is the youngest sister and I say 30/31 yrs old and Daria is like 15/16 yrs old if Amy had her at 15 or 16 yrs old she could have ask Helen and Tom to adopt Daira because she was too young to raise the baby
It's nice to see Daria see her aunt Amy and the begin to bond together and told about what they were both going through out their lives especially when it comes to the fact that they half to deal with their family's antics
"But you wouldn't know anything about that, would you?" "Nah." Who are you kidding, Daria? It's a pity Aunt Amy never met Jane Lane. She would have loved her.
That mirror shot for me explains pretty much everything about why Helen treats Daria like shit: she's the spitting image of Amy and Helen is subconsciously taking her revenge on Amy by bullying Daria. She just has no idea she's doing it.
@@somelittlellama4186 She gives Quinn NONE of the shit she gives Daria, despite Quinn's behavior being more reckless and frivolous than Daria's. Daria's grades are top-tier and her social life is non-existent, but whenever Helen has a chance to punish Daria, she relishes in it. She's uber-paranoid when Daria gets a boyfriend (to the point of barging in on them expecting them to be making out) yet makes no comment whatsoever on Quinn's alarmingly disposable roster of boyfriends, even though Quinn is younger and more foolish. Helen gives Quinn passes that she would never give Daria despite Daria having a better aptitude at professional success. And all this because she's hung-up on Daria's anti-sociability. But Quinn doesn't look like Helen or her siblings, and Daria looks *exactly* like Amy.
I thought a good movie would have been if Daria and Jane spent a summer with Aunt Amy. Amy was a globetrotter which could have lead to some very interesting situations for the 3 of them.
The strange this is, Daria and Amy are only out of place because they're the only ones not getting needlessly competitive at what should be an occasion for not settling old scores. Out of everyone there, they are the most well adjusted - well Daria certainly is. I feel that Amy, despite having much the same outlook as Daria, still feels like she is putting on the impression that she doesn't care, because she does realise all the in-fighting is pointless, but it's clear it's become a defence mechanism for how she really feels. Daria doesn't feel the need to compete, thus she acts apathetic, because she's not going to put on a mask to disguise how she really feels, but with Amy, I feel that the apathetic display is a mask. Amy may sound like Daria, but you can tell that she is still emotionally vulnerable, because even after 30 years, she is still hurt over how her sisters fought and whilst neither came out the winner, she was definitely the loser in how all the focus was on them. There is definitely a lot of her in Daria, but I'd say it's mostly in how she looks - Daria takes more after her mother in terms of intelligence. Daria's deadpan demeanour comes from wanted to be open and genuine about how she feels in a world with people obsessed with competing and how she has no time for that, Amy's comes from hiding how her true resentment in a world where the overly competitive nature of her sisters actually consumed her life, and she wants it to not hurt as much.
I always call out reactions like Helen's there. If you hate the person then own up to it and be honest with yourself. Don't force yourself and others into awkward situations out of artifical obligations and niceties.
Suddenly, Beavis eats the wedding cake and proclaims "I am the Great Cornholio! I need T.P. for my Bungwhole!" Butthead enters the scene and blurts out "hahaha I diarrhea!"
I get it. I feel the same way about my Uncle Jeff. We think alike, act alike, have similar interests, and I look more like him. Genetically, I got more of my mom's side of the family while my brother looks like a young version of our dad.
This really says something that Helens mom paid for the whole wedding but didn't show. Meaning she prefers her oldest daughter but would rather not deal with her.
Reverend Stroup: “Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join Junichiro and Amy in the bonds of Holy Matrimony. Now, do you Junichiro, take thee Amy to be your lawfully wedded wife? To love, honor, obey, cherish, and cling only unto her for so long as you both shall live? For better or worse? For richer or poorer? In sickness and in health, til death do you part?” Junichiro: “I do!” Reverend Stroup: “Do you Amy, take thee Junichiro to be your lawfully wedded husband? To love, honor, obey, cherish, and cling only unto him in forsaking all others for so long as you both shall live? For better or worse? For richer or poorer? In sickness and in health, til death do you part?” Amy: “I do!” Reverend Stroup: “Junichiro, I want you to place the ring on the third finger of Amy’s left hand, and repeat after me, ‘With this ring, I thee wed’.” Junichiro: (placing the ring on Amy’s finger) “With this ring, I thee wed.” Reverend Stroup: “Amy, I want you to place the other ring on the third finger of Junichiro’s left hand, and repeat after me, ‘With this ring, I too thee wed’.” Amy: (following the procedure) “With this ring, I too thee wed.” Reverend Stroup: (glancing through the guests) “If there be anyone here who does not want to see them joined in marriage, let them speak now, or else, hereafter and forever, hold their peace?” Silence hovers all about. Reverend Stroup: (resuming) “By the power, vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.” Junichiro and Amy kiss to seal their wedding vows. Reverend Stroup: “Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you, Mr. & Mrs. Junichiro Hill!” Hank: “Yep!” Peggy: “It is good.” Jake: “At least now I have a proper brother-in-law to visit with on a regular basis.” Helen: (crying 😢) “I can hardly believe that my baby sister is now married.”
I wish Comedy Central played more episodes of this show than just being 24 hours of South Park. Don't get me wrong, I like Parker and Stone, but variety, please.
I want to like Daria the show but its too bland and redundant. The character daria was a calling card for so many 90s chicks that were different and didnt quite fit in but the show is unexciting and dry. Im at a point now where i dont need the "i relate to daria" cred and it just makes me depressed. There are other 90s cartoons with alternative characters that are more lively than this one. I respect those who still enjoy it but for me, it doesnt do anything for me watching it back except dry me out. I wish there was more to it than the smart stoic girl condescends everyone and cant be bothered to muster joy over anything. Its just...juvenile. if she was really depressed she would eventually see that everthing rides on her making life enjoyable while she can. Her persoective could only exist in an environment of priveledge and allowance, which she seems to take for granted. None of the characters ever learn how to be "deeper" or think more critically from her. She just misses out on on life and joy and pleasure.
