Top 10 Differences Between A Series of Unfortunate Events Books & TV Show 

I actually thought the quagmire triplets’ parents were the Baudelaires parents and then I cried when I found out they weren’t 😭

When we grab you by the ankles, Where our mark is to be made, You'll soon be doing noble work, Although you won't be paid. When we drive away in secret, You'll be a volunteer, So don't scream where we take you; *The world is quiet here.* -Lemony Snicket

Im just having my morning coffee Although I can't seems to find the SEGAR BOWWWWWLLL

Well of course Snicket was not as "present" in the books. It's not like he was going to write "The imaginay screen slowly moved over to reveal Lemony Snicket standing near the Baudelaires."

"That only Very Firmly Dedicated fans of the franchise will catch." Did you really think we would miss that, MsMojo?

Louis Hynes would make a great Harry Potter.

that twist with the parents got me so hard, i was devastated (i havent read the books but i knew the parents were dead so i thought the show was going to be different) but looking back, that was a clever way to introduce the triplets into the plot of the show :)

"Is this about the children I told them to cry using their inside voices" -count Olaf

I'm very dissapointed with the number of people who hate the show just because they hold onto the movie like a baby to their bottle. Take off your nostalgia glasses people.

*I aM yEsSiCa HaIrCuT*

In the books it almost seemed like Lemony Snicket was an actual character documenting and following the children around, but the show gives more context to his character - making it seem like he’s a ghost or something

That parents twist is, in my opinion, the greatest plot twist ever. Edit: I've been thinking about it and I definitely exaggerated when I called it the greatest plot twist ever. I was excited that Season 2 was nearly out and I was just praising it non-stop. Great show but there have been much better twists. And yeah it wasn't that unexpected of a twist but still it was smart and I'm sure it was surprising for the non-book readers.

I read this series in middle school good to see it's still around

One difference I’m surprised wasn’t on here: The expansion and characterisation of Count Olaf’s theatre troupe. I loved the new personalities of the synchronised powder faced women, the dim witted bald man, and the nihilistic androgynous henchperson. The troupe got more screen time, and complemented eachother well I thought.

When you explain the meaning of the word spoiler to make a reference

YESSICA HAIRCUT IS MY SPIRIT ANIMAL

The parents twist was incredible. I was so shocked at both reveals!

I MEAN, I liked the movie, BUT THIS SHOW IS WAYY BETTER!! Even with the changes. The world is quiet here

I think it was implied that Sir and Charles were romantically involved in the books, but it was vague so im not 100%

Very Firmly Dedicated fans. I see.

Finally the show is getting some recognition

Number 8: The romantic relationship between Sir and Charles is also suggested in the books.

As a kid I grew up reading these books and they were one of my favorite book series and still are. I really enjoyed the first season and looking forward to the second season.

"While not overt?" Not overt? Bruh, Sir and Charles's relationship was as subtle as a brick in a tumble dryer.

Lemony Snicket is.....Kronk?

lemony snicket interacts with the environment in the books as well.

Man I remember reading this series in elementary school. I’m about to graduate high school.

In the books it is hinted that maybe one of the parents is alive.

When Josephine screams at the mirror is literally me when I see a mirror

The friendship of between Sunny and Fernald!!! Easily the most endearing part of the show!

I won't lie, when they pulled that whole surviving parent twist, it was probably one of the biggest "Fuck you's" that has ever been pulled on a show.

Some things translate from the page to the screen and some things don't. But if you keep the the spirit of the books your in good shape.

I loved the books. I like the aesthetic, soundtrack and style of the film better, but the television series is way better story wise, so I guess the TV show is my favourite of the two. But I was kinda disappointed about Sir's face being shown. It would be such a unique visual if he had stayed always behind a puff of smoke

I like how they added more backstory with the guardians, the movie just rushed through them in my opinion, I just rewatched, and I didn't think the first time that the 2 children on the other side of the chair that Klaus and Violet sit in are from the other family that have the same unfortunate event of a fire burning their house down, though It looked like they were still in the house. they have a spy glass too according to the scene AND the new trailer. I wonder what the four of them will get into :)

Mr poe in the show is way too annoying

Having read the books at least twenty times since middle school (senior in high school now - still reread them) I was surprised that I wasn't upset with any changes made and really enjoyed them.

SPOILER: I’m kind of upset that Jacquelyn isn’t Kit Snicket (she appears in the last episode of season two)

I know you guys talked about the first 4 books but a honorable mention is in The Carnivorous Carnival, The books, Madame Lulu tells Count Olaf where the Baudelaires are. But in the show, Madame Lulu helps the Baudelaires.

I literally just finished reading the 13th book an hour ago and I can't believe I didn't catch all the hints dropped in season 1 of the show (which I watched right after I read book 4 and before I started book 5). When V.F.D. came up in book 5 I kept trying out phrases to match the acronym - oblivious to the fact that I'd already heard the words V.F.D. stands for in season 1! :O Right after I closed book 13, I went on Google to see how popular the book series really is and if there's companion books (there is!), and if ASOUE is available in my country too because I'd never heard of it prior to the Netflix show (I borrowed the books from my sister who had them shipped from Amazon UK). I found out that the books have been freaking DISCONTINUED in my country! You can only purchase the translated versions used for like a hundred bucks per book! The books have never been a "thing" here, even back when they were being released. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? They seem to have been majorly popular everywhere else in the world, why not in Germany?? ****************** MINOR SPOILER FOR BOOK 12 Charles and Sir are in a romantic relationship in the books, too. Lemony Snicket not only very strongly hints at it, but he actually describes them holding hands and he explicity says that they shared a one-bed hotel room.

I adore the books. The world is quiet here.

In the books the Baudelaires believe that one of their parents is still alive but come book 12/13 we aren't given that information

In the first line *THATS NOT HOW THE STORY GOES* I love that song

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="39">0:39</a> Thank you. From me and all other Snicket super fans. Thank you for making our day.

Olaf Is Looking For The Sugar Bowl For His Morning Coffee And The Woman In Season 2 Is Looking For A Sugar Bowl Lemony Stole In Was In The Hospital Connected I Think (This comment is old and my English is just embarrassing :)

Yay, so excited for the second season!

"Is this about the children? I apologize for the noise i told them to cry using their inside voices." XD Comedy Gold And "Me? Im just having my morning coffee, although I can't seem to find the Sugar Bowl" Esmé's pronunciation of sugar bowl is golden with her British accent

Despite the differences, Season 1 was excellently done and Season 2 was even better.

“I told them to cry with their inside voices” there for the best line of the show

Still better than the movie lol

So excited that i could cry, the wait was very unfortunate

10.The Miserable Mill's backstory 9. The Spyglass 8. Sir and Charles' partnership 7. The Baudelaires run off 6. Josephine's redemption 5. Jacquelyn 4. Attention to Mr. Poe 3. Lemony Snicket's presence 2. V.F.D. 1. The Baudelaire parents survive (but not really) Honorable mentions: Sunny's wit, Yessica Haircut, The Incredibly Deadly Viper's fate

You forgot a difference, ones a book series and the other is a TV series. The more you know :).

One difference that I'm shocked you didn't mention is how Violet ties her hair differently. Although it may not be stated exactly in the books, on the covers we can see she ties her ribbon on like a headband. In the show adaptation, she ties her hair back into a ponytail. Also in the books, she constantly has her ribbon and never seems to loose or misplace it. In the show, she gets different replacements. This difference is minor yet I still think it's crucial.

I broke down when they revealed the parent twist! I knew that their parents were dead in the book but it brought me so much comfort knowing that these parents were trying so hard to get back to them only to reveal that the Beaudelaires were truly alone. It was so well done despite leaving me quite broken-hearted

I know season two came out way after this video, but Olivia is way different and way better in the Netflix series

In later books it implied that one of the parents may have survived but its also another red hearing that may pop up in season 2. The spy glass drove me nuts because it only showed up in the slippery slope in one chapter.the baudeliers running away was such a brilliant move when i was reading the books it drove me nuts that me pie sent them too the mill but for season 2 with the cold village poe sending them to the village made no sense but i do think it was them going to the village does work since it was a vfd location. Snicket does give many clues in the books about being love with the beaudilers moms. Also the incredibly deadly Viber will be back in the end.

I’m so happy the tv series stayed true to the books. Yeah it’s not perfect but they did a great job pleasing fans who read the books and making it easy to get into for non-book readers.

Thanks so much for making this video! The books are incredible and the show is really great so far too. I can't wait for season 2 on Friday!

I didn’t realize this was a sad occasion.

xD I remember in the wide window part 2 when the set of parents flew over the Baudelaires I kept crying "those are your own children. GO DOWN THERE NOW!!!"

Thank you for these very fascinating documents and facts.

THANK YOU THANK YOU AND THANK YOU!

Show: Dr Orwell falls on fire. Book: *Dr Orwell crosses the way of the saw*

PRO TIP: If you want to read the books and watch the series READ ALL THE BOOKS FIRST because the series does SO SO much foreshadowing you will pick up spoilers.

Yes, Lemony actually having a part in the show is very beneficial to people liking it.

Season 2 left on such a cliff hanger cant wait for season 3

I remember reading this in third grade since then I've been in love with this series. It helped me reach my goal in AR reading thing.

Honestly I don't care how much they changed, that show will always be a favorite for me.

When it was revealed that the parents weren't the Baudelaires's parents I had to pause to allow myself to sob hysterically for five minutes. I mean amazing plot twist but it broke my heart to realize that no one was coming for them

“2 pieces of bread stuffed between a sandwich” Omg😂

In both the movie and Netflix series,when The Incredibly Deadly Viper strikes...it always gives me a good startling jump in my heart,haha!!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="39">0:39</a>--<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="46">0:46</a> Klaus: we know what spoiler means🤣🤣🤣

I thought Sir and Charles might be together in the books too.

AHHHHHHH I’m so excited for season 2!

I read all the books in one semester of school in 4th grade, I was so addicted that when it ended, I began crying. It was such a great series.

I read these books as a child and loved them. After I saw the show’s trailer I was so hyped and I looooove it!

I’m 90% sure that the previous Madame Lulu is Kit Snicket.

I feel like when Lemony Snicket said “He read the sentence over and over. He read the sentence over and over.” Snicket should have said it once and then Klaus should have said it.

These books literally taught me how to cook pasta, and quickly became addicted to puttanesca sauce

I've recently finished all 3 seasons, and I never caught that Lemony literally mentioned the actual name for V.F.D. in the first episode, holy moly, that's cool.

While the spyglasses didn't have a role in the Series of unfortunate events, they are referenced in the unauthorized autobiography, and in the All the Wrong Questions. I think the creators of the show are using all the books that are a part of the universe, not just the one series.

"Know that there will be spoilers. A word which here means-" **expains spoilers** Me: **tries to do a Klaus impression** We know what spoilers mean.

Wow! This was really interesting. I can’t wait for season 2.

Thanks for the vid guys! I've been thinking to start the books after finishing the show, bc thanks to it I understood almost everything from the 2004 movie, once, even though I loved the movie as a kid, I never actually got what it was about..

I need to finish season 1 I’m very close I love this video

no one: absolutely no one: not even cakesniffers: esme: ThE sUgAr BoWeLlL

I couldve swore with the 4th book, it was that Sir and Charles adopted the Baudelaires because even Poe was surprised at the end to find out they were made to work in the Mill

I remember I read the whole series in 4th grade. I was really hooked to the books and as soon as I finished one I would check out the next one. I really need to re-read all of them to see everything I missed 7 or 8 years ago 😂 I really love the show! Every intro is really good and catchy. I thought that I wouldn't like it because some people told me that but I was instantly hooked and basically binge watched the first season in one day. I have no regrets :)

Season two is out, guys! Run to the television and prepare the binge popcorn!

Who knew snicket could sing😭✋💀 -by random girl from yt channel ms mojo

You forgot one HUGE change: the entire plot of The Carnivorous Carnival was altered. In the Netflix series, Olivia Caliban was a caring protagonist and VFD member who was thrown into the lion pit by Count Olaf. In the books, she was a greedy villain and Olaf lackey who fell into the lion pit due to being outsmarted by the Baudelaires. Also, in the books, Olaf found out about the Baudelaires' disguises because Caliban told Olaf, while in the Netflix series, Olaf figured it out on his own.

I like that Ms. Mojo adopted Lemony’s way of speaking for this video.

Can't wait for season 2 of A series of unfortunate events to be on Netflix.

"although I can't seem to find the sugar bowl" I didn't read most of the books (which I've been meaning to do) but after watching the second and third seasons of the show I finally get that line! Lmao

Actually, the VFD is everywhere in the books, the same volunteer fire department line is in the books too, in fact, the first fifteen minutes of the show are word for word with the books!

I’m watching this a while later but it was posted in my birthday. Seriously no joke. Lol

“Is it the children I apologize I told them to cry using there inside voices” (;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)

No.1 was actually hurtful and disgraceful how they end season one.

I read this series in second-third grade, and I never met anyone else who read it. I’m glad that it’s getting recognition, and now I have FINALLY found other’s who also enjoy the series!

I loved that twist at the end of season 1, in the back of my mind I was thinking: No way, no way, no no no no no no NO NO NO NO WAY!! What IS this?????? They're ALIVE??? Then the twist happens and I'm like: Holy crap, they had me going for a few hours lol
