VELMA - An Impossibly Bad Scooby-Doo Reboot 

Hello king

Yes it is horrible

hello

No cake shot this time too

Gotta love how caling Velma V-Dawg is the whitest thing they could do, because you know, Eminem stole black culture but never called it gentrification and black folks say Dawg and we co-opted that to show ourselves as the non oppressors even though black people took over $3,000 from me in San Francisco (I forgive them) but we have to pay attention to stuff like that... V-Dawg Don't take the Mark of the Beast! (666)

Good old "make fun of/criticize trope while committing it yourself so you can pretend to be self-aware" Velma is full of this shit, and most of the latest "Meta" shows too

because certain people like to complain about masculinity but hate immasculine men even more

I find that a certain subsect of women that dont want guys to ever be vulnerable.

@@deezboyeed6764 A good lesson for a man to learn is when to be vulnerable, which is almost never. It really should be used as a punctuation.

@@thesilverblueman people criticising toxic masculinity is not the same as complaining about or hating masculinity, there is a big difference between masculinity in general and toxic masculinity. However I agree that the people making this show are hypocrites since they go out of their way to mock the idea of a man being not very masculine.

@@omermammadli985 no he is dumb, but it was done in a lovable way. Like when he couldn’t recognize Velma without her glasses or daphne when she changed her look a little.

The only time where the left and the right wing collectively agree on something

you tell anyone and youre fired

the F did they do xD

No, you should love how a bunch of overpaid pampered Hollywood assholes got together to make a shitty show. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

nah they didn't there was drama about if the show was good (i don't really remember if its true or not because i have shit memory)

She also threatened to fire the guy

How is it the audience's fault???

Basically the whole show can be characterized by one of the scenes from the finale. Mother of fred just died in fron of him, he saw the whole process his mother was turned into bloody pancake, and other teenagers also witnessed bloody scene, there s blood and part of inner organs everywhere, and velma covered in blood and intestines of other human starts happily twerking like she is completely crazy. She is the worst person i ever seen in cartoon industry.

She self inserted herself as Velma. Of course she'd like herself. She's unironically worse than all the shit she preaches about its hilarious that she still can't see it.

​@MajorOctofuss it's not it's just an excuse used by film makers who can't take any form of criticism

Because Mindy is an idiot. Theres no two ways about that based on this, she literally lacks intellect.

it was funny because it came out of nowhere and yet made perfect sense for his character. this was not funny because it was painfully obvious and made no fucking sense at any point. clearly Velma knows how to do it better

mmmm look at the springs on that baby 😍 thank you for reminding me of that lolol. i love mystery incorporated sm

Lmao yah

This is why she won't be part of Inside Out 2

It really is, she’s lucky she’s still getting work. I think there definitely would’ve been more of a uproar if a man made that joke.

@@malayaanderson8222 Yeah I’m upset there wasn’t more uproar about that?? Like wtf. She admitted to sexual assault AND blackmailing witnesses about it. The FUCK?

@@malayaanderson8222 Not a joke, it actually happened. And since it's a crime, this is what's called a "confession". Not a joke.

​@@rachellydiabSounds like sexual harassment/assault to me. 🤷‍♂️ Any man says something like that and they get crucified, stop playing.

It is made for Mindy Khaling’s fantasies.

It has to be a republican psy-op

Maybe not any of this but only made because they want our money?

@@lizdevilz7271 if that is what they are looking for, they are failing miserably. Who wants to buy this garbage?

Wtf is woke humour? Sounds like an oxymoron to me

i think you hit the nail on the head with that one. i firmly believe the writer of the show wanted their own thing but couldn’t make it cause nobody wanted it. so they pitched it as a scooby doo remake and it got approved cause remakes are incredibly popular with producers and streaming sites (even though 90% of the time the audience doesn’t even want them cause they’re almost always bad)

coming back to this with more intel, the writer DID plan on doing their own show at first but then changed it to the scooby doo remake. the show is pretty much a self insert fanfiction, the main character is voiced by the writer, her ethnicity was changed to the writers ethnicity and she said in an interview she could always identify with velma cause she was the smart one and the most valuable member in the group 🫠 also literally every single group member falls in love with velma at one point in the show and she’s always the hero that saves the day and the one that solves all the mysteries.. i said it’s a fanfiction but honestly there’s better fanfiction out there than this show

@@buchstaben-suppebrotha thats wild

i hate to get psychoanalytical but it seems her self insert are the parts of her she accepts as who she is (she thinks these negative traits are ok) while fred are the parts of her she denies having (her upbringing, privilege, and feelings of entitlement) and shaggy is what she thinks shes entitled to (undeserved admiration)

Yup she needs to deflect it. And she knows the best group to do that with us white people. Fucking pathetic

@@thesilverblueman No, that's pretty spot on. Fred as is depicted here is both her ire and her desire. The hot white male that passed her over in her own life through highschool and college cause she's frumpy and ugh. So she wants to scorn him because he ignored her for other sexier white women. And shaggy is 'entitlement' itself. That despite 'I'm a loser' and cant get what I want, I still deserve to be worshipped, hence why shaggy exists. This woman is pathetic.

Idk about the Ivy League part, but yeah once you get in that pipeline you good to go. Far from easy to get into Ivy League though

@@HebrewHammer1337 most Ivy League schools have legacy acceptance. Basically, if someone else in your family went, you’re guaranteed to be able to go. Grades literally don’t matter. Also they accept anyone if you have enough money

I think the joke was supposed to be "Shaggy is seen by the community as a stoner, so Norville saying he hates drugs is a joke!" I refuse to call that person Shaggy. Sadly I can't do it so easily with the other characters.

@@Olimar92 That's literally what he said.

@@jacktrades5403 No, he said it would be a funny joke if Norville acted like Shaggy. The Joke in the Show is a very Meta Joke that plays off of this character not being Shaggy.

It'd be so funny if he gave high key stoner vibes but was heavily against drugs. And the show constantly put him in situations where you think he is doing drugs, but then it's revealed he is just doing something mundane. For ex: hearing bubbling and laughing in his room. Then it's revealed he is just setting up a bubble machine for his twitch stream

@@trinodot8112 Yeah ahaha like imagine he's in the bathroom and a bunch of smoke is coming out of his stall and he's just screwing around with a smoke machine or something stupid

Lmao

Which proves that she's not only unfunny, but she can't tell the difference between voice acting and regular acting without some sort of guidance.

@@frisbyart that's very wise

Underrated comment.

It says 2 comments, but I only see one

This is a lot of the reason why we've seen an uptick in young, white, males turning into school shooters and killers. Society demonizes them for being them, and they have no healthy outlet for their emotions, which is needed for young males especially due to higher levels of aggression. A lot of woke morons will scoff at this, but its true. History is irrelevant to how people are today. When a generation of people are attacked and demonized for actions they never committed, it turns them ugly. I saw someone bring this up on one of those Vox panels where they're talking about masculinity and they had this "non-binary" dude scoff and make excuses about it. Meanwhile I'm thinking to myself "I bet you've dealt with a lot of BS and if someone scoffed at YOU and made excuses about YOU, you'd have a big problem with it". Shows like this are toxic af and will just cause more issues.

I feel this is the most accurate thing I've ever read

It does make me kind of sad actually, the vibes I'm getting is that this is written by someone who was probably bullied and just assumes that everyone else has a problem with her and acts mean and judgy because she already assumes everyone else is constantly doing that to her, so she's not seeing that she's mean or judgy but simply just being the same as everyone else and I do have sympathy for that. That being said, you don't do yourself any favors being a victim forever and a mindset change couldn't hurt.

@@sarahbarabe4990 I spent my school years being bullied, to the point where I would hide in the boiler room at my school, during breaks to avoid being beaten by some students. Whatever this person went through, does not justify the "Hero" of this series, acting like a complete sociopath. Her laughing at Norville, declaring his feelings for her, shows exactly how toxic she is.

And, to masturbate her ego. 🙄

Velma is like Mark Renton from Trainspotting but without the charisma

BUT... it is totally okay and super for her. Because she is a woman. She can't do anything wrong (according to her ideology)

@@hblaub which isn't even really an ideology anyway. She doesn't speak for actual survivors my guy. But agreed she is absolutely part of the problem

@@hblaub Shes literally a conservative. Look it up. She has tons of public political views and they’re ALL conservatives. Nice try attempting to smear the left with this accusation though sweetie. And nice strawman that LITERALLY NO ONE believes. Find me a SINGLE person who says it’s ok to sexually assault men. Pretty sure it’s conservatives who consistently excuse sexual assault. God you’re annoying 😂

And the guy she force kiss , Lee Pace, is gay. Just hoping she is not that kind of girl that think it is ok to grope gay guy

@@ns0n oh i´m sure she is that kind of person, also to have the kind of friend that is a bit odd and call it gay even if it isn´t

Why does that make sense tho?

it is almost certainly for that reason

If that's the reason then honestly it's for the best. Scooby Doo was Scooby Dooby Saved.

@@breadconeseur Because it probably does. 😂

They did the cockroach humping so…just one step there.

Well she’s a women so most people think it’s okay

Apparently its fine for women to sexually assault, harass men in our society, especially if its the race of men they heavily fetishize & obsess over in all their *"self insert"* characters on the television shows they produce, and can even threaten the employees with losing employment or other immoral threats, blackmailing or blacklisting like Harvey Weinstein did

Imagine if the genders were switched? I bet the reaction definitely wouldn't be the same.

"haha guys I SA‘d someone isn’t that so funny and relatable" 😐

I've never seen that emoji before where did you find that?

Scooby became a woman

Scooby became a military brain swapping project

@@WokioWolfy Not really. Fortunately. 😅 They swapped Shaggy having a dog best friend to Norville having a girlfriend.

The other good thing (for me) is that there's a channel, I think it's called Brittney reacts or something like that, which I found because of Velma. Her commentary is pretty good. A bit more on the serious side than on the funny side but I like her.

@@sylverscale "they swapped shaggy having a dog with shaggy having a girlfriend" WHATS THE DIFFERENCE AM I RIGHT FOLKS?

And they removed almost all of their cartoons and children shows online. Check Mothers Basement. He did a bit on it a while back

@@pheunithpsychic-watertype9881 this is a society moment

@@somerandolad “Likable” He’s just the least unlikeable

Norville is the only character that's not an actual douchbag and he is a decent human being unlike Velma who is the worst human being ever

Yeah, the show was supposed to be about how people don't all need to be the same type of people to get along and work together. Also, Shaggys name in the original show is actually Norville which is where they got that name. It was supposed to be a joke/commentary about how a name doesn't define a person.

I mean just Norville honestly, Velma literally laughs in his face when he confesses her feelings towards her so......

@@Void_Out man I would say the wooden doors are the best characters, the carpeted floors have more like-able features then new age-Velma. I’m a fan of dark humor, when pulled off correctly it makes you laugh but also shocks you! You have to have the ability to laugh at yourself though. In Velma, it’s non-stop violence, crude jokes, out of pocket insults with no timing toward the viewer, and the blandest form of sexism and racism jokes. It’s like they were trying to make the most horrible show so they get more clicks, and the worst part about it is that the original gang WERE diverse in terms in social circles. A nerd, popular girl, a kinda dumb but cool jock, a stoner/tax evader, and a dog. Despite being the most opposite in terms of social concepts, they got along and would never stab each others backs. In Velma, all the characters hate each other, (Exept Velma and Norville who get somewhat along.) , ALL of them are total jerks, then suddenly all the characters LOVE Velma and wanna date her, they changed the characters races for no reason other then to make more jokes, (I’m a person of color being Latin and Native American so I’m fairly tan, and all I have to say is that inclusiveness isn’t skin deep, it REALLY ISN’T. It’s super annoying when a character’s entire personality is their race. And the thing is that it’s not cool or normal to be jackasses to white people but yet again apparently it’s okay because they’re white??) The show is god awful ,I haven’t even watched a single episode of Scooby yet I already know the show is garbage. I’m sorry for the rant BUT MAN this show is garbage and I need to get this outta my system.

I completely agree with you about the character designs. It's such a shame that they went to waste on this show. You can really see the effort that went into making each character distinct and unique, and they definitely succeeded in that aspect. But, when it comes to the overall show, it just falls flat. I mean, the potential was there, but it just didn't deliver. I feel like the designs could have been put to better use in a better-written show. It's really disappointing to see all that effort go to waste like that.

Yeah the art is bomb, especially the hallucination sequences. Poor artists.

I really honestly dont see the appeal, the characters in particular are hideous

Compared to other adult cartoons? This animation AT LEAST has style.

This is literally terrible art what

I just imagine him either eye-rolling or straight-up having an aneurysm at one moment at the start of episode 2 that later becomes a running joke in the episode.

I imagine he’s pretty annoyed about it considering he’s been Fred in basically everything since the beginning of this franchise, that takes some pretty big dedication, but I’ll imagine he’ll be over it when another scooby doo cartoon comes out. I at least hope he got a good paycheck out of it.

I don't know if you meant dumpster fire, but dumBster fire is now my new favorite insult. Thank you. My day is now perfection😎

Wow I didn’t know that. That’s sad

Also, as a heads-up: Velma's original voice actress, Nicole Jaffe (who voiced her from 1969-1973), is still alive. I wonder what SHE thinks of this show. That said, Casey Kasem (Shaggy's original VA) and Heather North (Daphne's predominant VA) have both passed away.

That's how I feel about some things too lol like I can't make music but I wish I could, I make a few crappy songs and feel bad. But then I hear some of the things people shamelessly put out there and wonder wtf am I worried about? I can't be as bad as they are.

But if you’re white you will have to do much better than that to get a job. The bar is only this low for forcing diversity. Meritocracy only applies to white men, so maybe you could take the LGBT angle and get in that way, idk.

@@-desertpackrat I think being so self critical is actually a good sign that you’ll at least create something decent if you put the effort in. I find it’s folks who have little to no internal critic who tend to often put out the most mediocre to downright awful stuff. I think it’s why one-time great creators of works often become less good over time when they surround themselves with ego boosting yes men.

No only that but even if u write something as horrendous as this show you'll still land a gig

As an author battling with my own critic, I agree with these comments.

"Full grown" is underrate cuz nothing change.

Show was made by a woman you sexist assuming this was made by a dude

Well mindy is an obsessive racist sexist privileged brat, narcissism should've been expected in hindsight lol.

It is, when diversity takes precedent over great writing and talent based casting.

The animation is the only thing I've heard is good about this show

Instead it's a poor Venture Brothers clone, almost as if they deliberately tried to copy the Groovy Gang.

Yea it looks like they actually tried

@@TerrenceNowicki yeah but they forgot the funny part of the groovy gang

@@TerrenceNowicki I never saw it as Venture Bros at first. I thought it was a take at the DuckTales reboot.

That's just called being woke though. 3rd wave feminism has very clearly lost interest in systemic issues.

I actually go with the theory that its made to mock woke people, the MeToo joke is a clue, if you want to appeal even a little to woke people you never would make a joke like that about it

Smart woman. She's a keeper for sure! 👌

Stop giving attention/views/engagement to shitty people and they will go away. Don't watch shows and content that are shit and we won't get shit shows.

Hate watching is what made this show popular. If anyone wants to suffer while watching Velma they should pirate it.

@@redpanda6497 It didn’t do anything for it. They just cancelled almost all their animated shows and Parrot whatever it’s called was counting social media posts that included the name Velma in it as equivalent to viewership. Plus we watched it through reactions anyways.

Same I think I’ve watched like 50 review videos LOL

yeah i hadn’t heard anyone else mention that! pretty insightful really

And that's how you do a meta joke, Velma

True! The People watching the show, are part of the Joke! They enable us to make fun of the producer. She is the punchline! 😂

Talk about stereotyping. God I hate this show with a passion. He's black so he has to be poor right. It would've worked so much better if it was the other way around and slightly subversive but nah.

The whole show is ironically racist towards everyone

Isn’t Daphne also rich?

@@Dave102693 All of them are wealthy.

Yeah this show is like, see how awful men are? Let’s feel morally superior by shitting on them and calling all women queens. Let’s fight sexism with more sexism who cares about equality 😅 its really bad

Exactly this think about the new Star Wars or the Mulan remake, there is 0 internal conflict which is one of the best conflicts in anything.

The funny thing is, t hat's almost what makes this show amusing, because she's clearly a flawed character and they don't even play it up like she's in the right. She outright says some rather selfish and negative things that are personality traits one shoudl not look to mimic. It will be interesting if they can actual evolve her into a character people can root for, since if we wanna play devil's advocate, when you consider your high school years I"m sure there are some things you regret, or even ways you may of acted, immature, rude and outright nasty, and as you got older you grew out of it. So if the writers actually have the skills to make their gang frienship make sense as they look past their negative selves from high school and develop into mature adults, it wouldn't be the worse writing. unfiltered With that said, this show is far from perfect, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't intrigued to see how they plan to wrap up the season, morbid curiosity, but it's also fascinating to consider what was going on through their heads when they produced this.

@@airget being intrigued to watch this show is like being intrigued to watch kittens get locked inside of a freezer.

Lol I feel like this is what people were saying about Captain Marvel when it came out. But I guess we weren't ready back then. All the people that said this were called oppressive fascists 🤣

If you like horror comedy and want a female lead cast full of characters who are morally questionable yet still likeable and sympathetic (and written by a woman) I recommend 12 Hour Shift.

and Rick and morty isn't even funny that's saying a lot

Because it does absolutely nothing right, which is sort of astonishing.

Wonder what season 2 will be like if there us one. If they double down on this then it will just go to show that hollyweird is getting out of touch with everyone in all directions.

ok I've said this before I am slightly annoyed by the race swaps but it doesn't tangibly bother me What does bother me Is that There is no Scooby Doo The Mystery Incorporated Gang are not friends, they are a bunch of assholes who hang out and harm each other This is out of touch. Make a traditional show? Launch Scooby-Doo again Make a show with representation? Don't make the characters so hatable Like dude Scrappy Doo saved Shaggy and Scooby even though he was annoying.

​@@cactusmalone Indians?

Nobody cares if it is a women doing the assaulting.

Yea, Velma has always been a badass and the way Mindy treats her makes me doubt it really is her favorite character as she claims

Yeah, I remember that scene, I loved Scooby-Doo when I was a kid, I hate what it has become

Even Mystery Inc. Velma was basically am improvement from classic Velma. Mindy's Velma is just a straight up bitch, nothing redeeming or even funny

It was so obvious that that's almost exactly what they did with him and Scooby twenty years ago on Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law, a show that coincidentally was one of the prime examples of taking old properties and repackaging them for a modern audience.

The thing this norville guy isn’t supposed to be shaggy, rather he’s probably one of mindys shitty friends as an insert.

They had that joke in the live action Scooby-Doo movie and it's the funniest joke in the movie.

Funny, but Scooby Snacks became a slang term for valium at one point.

That’s the Shaggy I wanted.

I never had to shower in school either and I've heard stories about kids at others schools who did but refused to. This show everyone's butt naked casually cleaning their privates you can't tell me that's an everyday thing made creepier by their ages. I don't know what the hell Mindy was trying to say with it

"Stupid dog! You made us look bad!"

It could have been great... the character designs are actually pretty good

@@TwitchyTopHat1 All but Norville imo. He's fine as his own character but he's no Shaggy.

Fellow chocolate person? Yeah, I'd say she's embarrassing us, but it's not like everyone doesn't know this show shouldn't be taken seriously anyways!

The only reason they can race swap people like that, is to hide behind "racist" if the show gets bad reviews.

Especially Fred, he’s usually such a kind and goofy soul and an actually good role model for positive masculinity when it comes to following the things you like no matter what anyone else thinks, tf did they do to him.

@@enzoarayamorales7220 what's worse is that Fred isn't even the rich one, that's either Daphne or Shaggy depending on the series, it's both in mystery Inc. I think

@@adrianrandom3448 Yeah Shaggy or Norville, yes they used Shaggy's real name in this piece of trash for the Simp, Rodgers has always been stupid rich, he's from like a Billionaire Old Money-family in pretty much any rendition of Scooby Doo, That's always kind of been apart of his shtick he is an easily scared, borderline cowardly, hippie/stoner from a highly conservative uber wealthy family and in most renditions of Scooby Doo, his parents don't believe he is responsible enough to have full to his inheritance so they don't give him full access and set him up with a monitored trust fund that he gets a stipend from. And in Mystery Inc. Daphne is also from a very influential and wealthy family, as is Scooby Doo lol.

Besides, we all know the only reason they could pursue all their different interests and still solve mysteries, was that Shaggy came from money.

You cant have a straight, white, male be a kind person and good leader nowadays though. Didnt you know? Straight, white, males are the demons of society!!

@@Princeomishore Looking it up, the showrunner and pilot writer is a guy named Charles Grandy who not only worked on The Office, but like half of the first paragraph on him on wikipedia is how often he collaborates with Mindy Kaling.

That's all of Mindy Kaling's work

@@piratorium lol then he shouldn't of let her no. she is an actor not a writer.

Yeah, I didn't know either. I thought she was rocking heavy eyeliner like Amy Winehouse.

i'd bet money they probably thought they couldn't give her "asian eyes" because that would be racist. so now theres no way to tell.

I mean I’m pretty sure the joke is that she isn’t Asian and that she’s just a white girl trying to fit in, but God knows I’m not going to watch the show to verify my theory.

@ColorAfterBlue The character is definitely Asian as is the actress portraying her. Her skin tone is slightly yellowed compared to the white characters and the non-asian characters are drawn with rounder eyes. They show her birth parents at one point who look undeniably Asian. But you really gotta study the show to see it which I would not recommend unless you've got a masochism kink

@Ahmed Parlance why so aggresive? The original comment says you cant tell she is asian, he is explaining the signs that she is asian. Probably the original cares as he made the comment in the first place

that's a great tip, i'll be sure to use this technique from now on 👍

Great, whenever I try to do that I remember this and laugh anyways.

Cute pfp

Hilarious. I love this. Stealing it.

And? The next one will be even worse. No one here is even criticizing how the show depicted nude high schoolers, let alone pointing out how hateful and racist Mindy Kaling is. Also no one is pointing out how Mindy grew up as a 0.000001%er in NYC and got everything she has through nepotism and affirmative action yet her self inserted character does nothing except call everyone else rich and complain about "unearned power".

Naah. Well... it depends? I mean, I get it, it's entertaining for a moment. But then it gets very tiresome. You can only follow something you hate for so long. Personally I don't really understand the "passionate haters" of something anymore. I had gone through that phase too but like... when I was a teen. Why don't they spare themselves the stress and spend their free time on things they actually enjoy? Whatever. I understand poking fun and watching things for the heck of it, but not the "one of my personality traits is fiercely hating TLOU2" kinda thing, if it makes any sense.

makes sense, considering that AI will write unfunny things about jokes instead of jokes, which is essentially this show

This is the most plausible explanation for this show. They were so lazy that they got a barely functioning AI to write it.

Absolutely not. An AI would have no social opinion and would approach the task with logic alone. I am convinced an AI would be unintentionally funnier than this.

it does look like it was written by someone or something that knows what comedy technically is but has never actually experienced it

Don't insult AI like that. Even they wouldn't do something this bad.

Maybe the animation team came up with it, trying to save this

The “What did Scoobi Do?”joke was pretty good too

​@@ZekeorSomething Not really. The question makes no context within the scene, it feels awkward.

@@Nixahma That's arguable it does feel kinda random too

In conclusion: Velma is like show X but without Y, Z, A or B and everything good about it.

Harley Quinn is complete shit as well. And it's as far from the dource material as it gets.

Harley Quinn is NPC material for idiots and absolutely paved the way for Velma.

@@chanty2192 but I like the Harley Quinn show :(

@@chanty2192 damn, what did this show do to you

@@zogwort1522 what are you even talking about 🌚🌚🌚

@@zogwort1522 what the hell??? what kinda god awful take is that? 🤡🤡🤡

@@zogwort1522 Tell me you've never had a panic attack without telling me you've never had a panic attack.

Man I saw puss in boots a few days ago in theatre and it featuring a panic attack and how it handled it really endeared the movie to me. Didn’t expect to cry at a movie my gf dragged me to 10/10 movie imo.

@@zogwort1522 Wow, what an abelist take. That's atrocious.

It has came up somewhere else, just can't remember which videos...

I’ve seen it on several other channels where she bragged about sexually assaulting a man then threaten to fire someone if they ratted. If this was a man who did this they’d be Harvey Wiensteined ASAP

Honestly I think a lot of people just don’t know so glad he spread the word. I feel like the laughter seemed awkward like she was smiling and laughing while saying it so they laugh too and sometimes they tell the audience when and how to react to things. I would hope no one actually found that funny I was found it gross 🤢

I mean you probably didn't hear it because it has nothing to do with the show? I'm not sure why you'd expect it in a review of the show.

@@todd1928 he also shared a Ren and Stimpy meme and the creator go into a ton of trouble in the past. Overall I like the video but it can can be hard to separate the art from the artist when Mindy produced the show and is voicing the titular character

Mike Tyson Mysteries is hilarious tho

@@deezknotsonyourchin Big facts

@@deezknotsonyourchin I loved it too. I guess they can't make more without Norm.

@@Polyfusia he was the funniest

@@Polyfusia that was one of the reasons why they decided to cancel it

because nobody cares about men, especially white men.

Found the micropeen

To be honest, thanks to anime I didn't even realize how wrong this cartoon was for doing that...

I think they mock him over something like that because they just tried too hard to make Fred the unlikeable privileged white guy. I mean come on, they literally wrote him to not recognize people who aren't up to his beauty standards, they can't try any harder.

@@seventeenseventythirteen7465 I've noticed that in anime it's really common to have those "haha super funny" jokes about girls breasts and jealousy between characters due to a different size, for example. Anime kinda desensitises you in some regards, because it's so full of weird tropes and sexualisation.

I know right

Well when you put it like that...XD
