One thing i never noticed until recently is that the reason why Stanley always knew Gideon was a fraud and never was a true mind reader, was because Gideon always referred to Stan as Stanford.
OH MY GOD!
Wow I'm still discovering things out about this show!!
HOLY CRAP YOU'RE ACTUALLY SO RIGHT
THE WRITING IN THIS SHOW IS SO GENIUS HNNNNGHHHHH
Yes
Alex Hirsch confirmed that in Sock Opera, the laptop never actually had a timer. In reality, Dipper fell asleep without realizing it and Bill fabricated the timer in the dreamscape in order to manipulate him.
It honestly feels like Alex Hirsch is the anti J.K. Rowling, he constantly drops bits of his lore for his story, but it's useful and we all enjoy his work with it
Hell yeah! I was pretty sure that was the case, but I’m glad I know it’s cannon now.
Bro are u being for real????
very intersting
That is actually very clever way to make that part work out, especially when McGucket later repairs the computer.
The ball hitting Wendy was dippers cannon event, it all makes sense now.
Eyup.
O yea like (stammers) good movie
As a twin, A Tale of Two Stans is extremely personal to me. My twin and I fit into the roles of Stan and Ford and we both end up sobbing and hoping not to drift so far apart each time. My top episode.
Same
When I watched that show, I was glad my twin sister and I were so similar and such a thing would be very unlikely to happen between us. I nearly cried multiple times throughout that episode, and I totally lost it in the finale
Me and my sibling, while not twins, are very similar and get confused for twins a lot. It hit us hard too, and since watching the show we’ve been much closer than ever.
gay
@@YeCurry0do you realise what you are implying
Fun fact: Alex Hirsch said they never initially had plans on making the Bill Cipher wheel a part of the show, but it became so popular among fans and theorists that he felt they had to include it in the show somehow, hence the zodiac not actually being used in the finale.
I found out about this a few weeks ago and it still pisses me off so much
@@itsPlasma06 why be pissed? We still got a good story out of it, and even if they hadn’t initially planned bill out to be more than a one off at first, they integrated him into the story so well that it doesn’t matter
@@itsPlasma06 I prefer this over the zodiac working out. Them using a prophecy to defeat Bill would have felt really cheap, instead of defeating him with their own power.
@@vickypedia1308 honestly i don't think Bill is truly defeated, exhibit a, stan remembered who he was. Exhibit b, the arg where Stan switches between Bill and not Bill modes
Yeah, we still got a good story and all and it wasn't as cliche as it would've been otherwise, but man that was such a giant red herring and the entire fandom fell for it, hook line and sinker.
I feel like we just got trolled so hard with that one, it's kinda funny but at the same time frustrating lmao
As someone who watched Not What he Seems the night it aired I can confirm that it was absolutely crazy. At that point, there was still no absolute confirmation that Stan had a brother so everyone was left guessing all the way up until the very end. The worst part was having to wait from March to June for the next episode.
Same. As a kid watching it I was BLOWN AWAY.
It was so terrible to wait
Glad to have been there for the air date as well 😎
You have no idea how fast I rushed to Tumblr and Instagram when it aired! I wanted to see the live theories and fanart then and there! XD
I remember watching this show when I was about 8 or 9 years old. It wasn't every episode because... I'm not thinking about doing that and cable/on demand is difficult, but I was still sort of familiar with the direction of the show. I think that was the first time that I was ever shocked by anything on a screen. I had been invested in movies before, but that was the first time that I understood why watching a series live is so cool.
I rewatched this show about two years ago and I can definitely say that it's one of my favorites. It's not perfect, but there's so much to love about it that they outweigh any issue the show has tenfold.
Between Flapjack and Gideon, it's incredibly hard to believe that a large bearded man voices two high pitched, iconic child characters
I got into this show in my last year of high school, a couple months away from turning 18. And I gotta say this show was a GODSEND for helping me accept the end of my childhood. I was trying to grow up too fast like Dipper but also scared of being an adult like Mabel, and the shows conclusion of moving forward but staying true to who you are has always stuck with me. I'm grateful this show exists
Totally feel this. Show did a ton for me growing into the end of my childhood
I'm just now entering my senior year, and I don't think I ever understood what Mabel was on about at the end until now. Obviously, going to college is a much bigger change than going back to middle school, but I get the feeling.
Just watched the show for the first time with my siblings to end my senior year/begin the summer. What a fantastic show it was and a perfect way to kick off this new stage of my life.
Omg im 18 now and i just finished watching it as well!
Ayy same pfp :D but yeah I had a very similar experience. I’m still teen and this show is honestly so Important to me and helps me come to terms with growing up and things changing.
The cultural impact this show left is undeniable and insurmountable. I'm so glad this gold mine of memes and emotions exists.
Fr
And the impact it had on future shows, its like the Bleach of american cartoons
If I had a nickel for every bot I’ve seen, I’d have enough nickels to buy the sites that mass produce them.
For me personally I get even more attached to this show because I live in a rural town in the Pacific Northwest so the amount of nostalgia I’m gonna get is going to soar
"Wow, this is worthless
Something about this show…. I think it’s due to the fact that I was around the same age as dipper and Mabel. When the show finally ended I felt so emotional because it perfectly incapsulates the underlying dread of growing up and change. Now as I am in my final year of high school, I rewatched the show and realized how emotionally attached to this show I am.
I rewatched the show my senior year of high school’s summer, right before going off to college, and cried harder than I had in a really long time, because as you said, it emotionally captures you and highlights the dread and fear of change, and finishing a show like this the NIGHT before leaving for college was surreal
This
oh my gosh we’re literally the same person
I'm emotionally attached to this show because I'm a twin. I understand exactly how Mabel and Dipper feel for each other.
@@kittycatmeowmeow963 While it isn’t exactly the same, I relate to the show as a triplet in some ways, too
I feel like Alex Hirsh added the Wendy Love Triangle because Disney forced him to, it would make sense, knowing Disney. Plus, it would explain why it was immediately scrapped in season two now that the creative team had more freedom due to how well the show was received.
Omg, that makes so much sense
Plus Wendy would have probably had a girlfriend or moved on instead of being mad and bitter.
You forgot one the smallest and most touching details of Weirdmaggedon Part 3: The actor who voices the Bus Driver is none other than Kyle MacLachlan, who played detective Dale Cooper in Twin Peaks. That show was clearly a major source for inspiration to Gravity Falls and other shows like it that came before, and it is not difficult to assume that Gravity Falls would simply not exist if it were not for Twin Peaks. So seeing Kyle being the one to bring the kids home is incredibly fitting, as in many ways he was the one that brought them there.
Sidenote: Alex Hirsch wanted David Lynch, Twin Peaks creator to be Bill's voice actor, but he was not avaliable.
omfg David Lynch as bill would have been STELLAR
@@tyk2beI still like that Alex voices almost everyone just for comedic value.
it’s nice that even the lowest rated episodes are still quite good. the show is reliably good and it’s nice that between the worse ones there is still top tier ones. The show is so bingeable and i think the lower rates episodes in between help.
I love this show
I hope that Schaffrillas does a ranking of Kirby final bosses or talking about Sid the Sloth in Encanto.
4 bots in a row tf
@@russianbot7853 I’m pretty sure the fifth is. I’m sorry to whoever wrote it if it isn’t
@@squidsurge71 I’m not a bot.
Besides what makes you say that?!
Holy bot infestation Batman!
Whenever asking "how did Gravity Falls get away with this?", the answer is always Alex Hirsch's ungodly will to fight Disney S&P
TRUTH!!!!
He pushed the bounds of what storytelling on Disney could be. It didn’t even feel like a Disney show it was THAT GOOD. I’m so glad I grew up with this series and that Alex pushed, because he really gave me such a great show to love and get excited about growing up! Amazing!!
"Not S&P approved"
“Not S&P approved”
For a LOT of the series, Alex Hirsch was working on it practically by himself. He had many months full of all-nighters-sometimes 2-3 nights straight. If Disney actually gave him the proper crew, time, and freedom, the show could've had episodes that were more fleshed out and less of a rushed ending. That being said, it's still my top fave.
mabel was the most annoying character to fucking exist
@@LILNATE652 not on topic, and horrid opinion. the door is that way, please leave.
@@Artificer_ explain how i’m wrong
@@LILNATE652 never said you were wrong. we all have our own opinions, yours just happens to be a bad one.
@@Artificer_ there are no good or bad opinions there are logical and illogical reasoning to back up a statement.
Let me just spit some facts
Mabel first makes Dipper fumble wendy in the pig episode, she gave bill the interdementional rift that allowed bill to come in the first place and she locked dipper in the closet with the shapeshifter which almost got all of them killed that is just my opinion i’d love to hear the other side :)
There is a reason why the original plot behind the Mabel Bubble episode had Dipper straight up snap Dippy-Fresh’s a total of 180 degrees. It means even the creator himself hated Dippy-Fresh.
My sister hates him too.
"Your hat's on backwards!"
"Y O U R H E A D I S O N B A C K W A R D S"
i'm kinda upset they didn't let him. my feelings on this aren't much more than "let Dipper kill!" but i'm sure you could point out some metaphorical meanings there.
Y'know what would've been better than Roadside Attraction? An episode dedicated to Mabel and Ford. Give the two some time together before Dipper and Mabel vs. The Future.
Agree
Yeah, we never really got much between Mabel and Ford.
I feel like you could split apart the A plots and B plots of The Last Mabelcorn and have Ford join along with Mabel for that episode (maybe drop Candy or Grenda for the sake of not having too many characters). Repurpose the B plot into another episode's A plot, preferably before The Last Mabelcorn so we can explore Ford's guilt in this episode as part of the whole 'pure of heart' thing. Mabel could ask him why he's so convinced he'll never be pure of heart, even if it was a scam, and Ford could open up to her a bit. IDK maybe this is a bad idea I just really want Mabel and Ford to bond, and also just Ford to be in the show more in general.
We really don't get much Mabel and Ford, but I think part of that is because Mabel has more parallels with Stan.
True.
I remember seeing McGucket chilling with his son in the credits of the last episode. It was nice to see they reconciled in the end.
I would like this comment, but at the time of this reply it is sitting at 618 likes, which is too perfect for me to destroy.

@@LucyWest370 It shows up in the background all over the show, since it is Hirsch's birthday

that actually makes sense; their purpose was actually to HELP people, and the way they did that was erasing traumatic memories from people.
Dipper and Mabel never acted traumatized by their experiences.
Or maybe it's because they were from out of town, and therefore out of the Order's jurisdiction
My theory was when mcgucket was forming the order, he made sure residents of the mystery shack would be safe, as ford worked their and even after the event, they where still friends.
*Into The Bunker has entered the chat*
There’s also the fact that just because their job is to erase everyone’s traumatic experiences away, doesn’t mean they know everytime someone encounters something weird.
They actually have to _see_ the people who interact with the weirdness so they can make them forget, y’know.
41:09
Yeah so I watched this episode blind when it aired, and I had been following the fandom for a while. Not only that but people had already predicted Ford’s existence prior to this episode, so when he was revealed I nearly had a heart attack. I still think that for the people who watched this and were involved in the fandom live, this was one of greatest reveals in television history.
Omg I wish I was in the fandom whèn that happened but I was like 4 and once I saw Bill on the TV and I was terrified. But thank goodness I was in the amphibia and owl house fandom when they were still making new episodes
Since I was 9 when “Not What He Seems” aired, I was SUPER surprised when it was revealed that not only was Stan trying to bring the author back, but it was also revealed to be his BROTHER?! Man 9 year old me freaked out
GF was one of the first shows as a kid I kept up with consistently- I wasn’t in the fandom but I remember watching the premiere of not what he seems and absolutely losing my shit the whole time and running around the house infodumping to my parents that had absolutely no idea what I was talking about lol
Fun fact about The Last Mabelcorn (as told from the DVD commentary) the episode was originally supposed to be about Wendy Corduroy getting weather-controlling powers, but when the script came back, Alex wasn't satisfied and decided to come up with a brand-new episode in two days, which is how we got Last Mablecorn.
The writers REALLY did want to give Wendy her own full episode, and made several attempts to do so, all of which ultimately failed. According to Hirsch, it was his only "real failure" in making the show, and he says if he ever did it all again, he'd make sure Wendy got her full episode this time.
That’s such a cool direction to take the character to. F
czcams.com/video/Kqt-ChsHrIY/video.html
after so long, it’s here.
Wendy is like a really cool character, still even without that episode she’s still very solid
She was also gonna have a B-plot with Stan, but that was removed due to them trying to find a good A-plot.
“We made the Last Mablecorn amazing!”
“What did it cost?”
“A Wendy plotline.”
Ford: “Bill Cipher is extremely dangerous. Things are escalating now. You’ll be safe inside the Mystery Shack thanks to this barrier we’ve installed”
Others: “Road-trip!!!”
Roadside attraction happened before Not What He Seems
I actually liked the ending of this episode, where Grunkle Stan and Dipper have a moment of connection
@@a_09.7 going by Disney+ Not What He Seems is episode 11 while Roadside Attraction is episode 16. Why would they be out of order?
@@SorowFame it comes after in release order but because of the absence of Ford and the random out of place decision to go on a roadtrip it would make sense to come first in the timeline
Actually, that's... remarkably in character, now that I think about it
"I ate a man alive tonight". The BEST line we had from the Summerween episode
“Grunkle Stan, I trust you” my 14 year old self was shaking .. such an emotional scene
What’s most terrifying about sock opera isn’t even in the episode
In the journal Mabel finds a note from Bill revealing what his plans were after he destroyed the journal.
That plan being throwing dipper’s body off the water tower.
Even more chilling was Bill asking Mabel if she wanted to join dipper
He was going to frame Dipper’s death as a literal fucking suicide, that’s utterly horrifying
@@helenaperez4343 not to mention his ass taunting Mabel saying she should join him, vile
F O R K I D S
@@wewillwut7055 just another goofy episode filled with silly jokes for kids 🤪
@@wewillwut7055 in the words of the Nostalgia Critic, “a faamily picture.”
To be honest I don't think Stan being able to regain his memories was completely unprecedented in the show itself. All McGucket had to do to start regaining his memories and sanity was watch his memories play out on a TV (and it naturally would've been harder to regain than Stan given how long his memories were lost), so I don't think there's any reason the photo album shouldn't have worked the same way.
Yeah that’s pretty fair
solid point. i agree
That's a decent point, but to me, it always felt like McGucket didn't fully remember who he was, more of a vague picture from the recordings. Stan regained his full memory, no consequence, so it felt cheap to me.
@@claudcopter9784 to be fair his memory loss was much more recent
@@a_naotenhonome780 Also a good point, but I'm talking from a pure writing standpoint.

@@eglol ok
I was in the fandom when Gideon Rises came out. IT WAS AWESOME! Everyone was speculating, making edits, and just vibing. Whenever I watch this show I am hit with waves of nostalgia. We waited so long for season 2, and when it aired it was insane. This was my first fandom and I cherish the times I had in there.
surprisingly for being one of the most popular fandoms i dont recall a single bad experience, meanwhile every single other fandom ive been in has given me deep genuine traumas. i miss the gf fandom
@@lemonmeat it was so wholesome in that fandom. i think the only drama that i remember was when this account called grabbityfalls or something like that came onto the scene and started hating on the show. then a bunch of accounts posted about how this person is so mean. the disney fandom in general was always very nice when i was in it too. like 2016-19 when i was an active editor on there
I know many fans (myself included) were sad when the series ended after just 2 Seasons but I came to appreciate Gravity Falls willingness to end on it's own accord without getting either dragged out too long or being cancelled too soon. Even the worst GF episode is still miles ahead of the most mediocre Modern spongebob or Modern Simpsons episode.
Any creator should hope to be able to do the same with their series.
I still want a third season/ sequel, I know for a fact I’m wrong and I’m glad I’m not the one to make that choice but goddamn do I want more
I think there is a rise of creators making short series with 2-3 seasons, and it could be because of Gravity Falls. Matt Braly wanted Amphibia to have a 3 act structure and it ended with a great show with the best ending to date. Dana Terrace also wants a 3 act structure, and while Disney screwed her over with three specials instead of a full season 3, I'm sure she plan ahead enough to not rush her ending for the show. Other creators would probably freak out if they hadn't plan ahead. Centaurworld wanted 2 seasons with possible expansion if fans wanted more. Considering how Netflix shut down their studio, it was nice that we didn't get a cliff hanger like other shows. Same with Kipo and Kid Cosmic having a trilogy of seasons.
While a lot of fans want more seasons, it's better to end the show as is rather than becoming a husk or be unceremoniously cancelled with a cliffhanger.
I always say I wish that Gravity Falls was longer, but I dont wish more episode. I wish that while was still running there was more filler episodes, but the end is too perfect, now that is over anything more would just ruin the ending.
Honestly same thing with Bleach, i mean the anime returns in 31 days and the manga got another chapter after the epiloge. But many forget what TIte Kubo's health problems were due to overwork
@@legendaresn6983 Bleach was simply not good after the soul society arc.
I watch this show every Summer, it just feels so comfortable to come back to. That ending is still incredible to this day.
Its like the Soul Society Arc for me
thats so cute especially bc it takes place during summer
I watch this and Phineas and Ferb every summer.
this and phineas and ferb. THE summer shows
I honestly watch it every Halloween. It’s a tradition for me.
I’m glad to see more appreciation for Soos and The Real Girl, always been one of my favorite episodes.
Also I’m not the only person who thought that Giffiny appearing suddenly was creepily cool right?
Eeeeyep
The last monologue of Dipper in the finale always makes me cry no matter how old I am, or how many times I've seen it. I cried like a baby when I first saw it, I was around 14 or 15. Now I'm 20 and I still can't help but shed some tears. Just like for Mabel, growing up was like my worst nightmare so some of the episodes and actually the entire show pointing out how afraid one might be of growing up and things changing really hit me hard. This is the best animated show ever
It’s out there, somewhere in the woods, waiting:).
In the “boys crazy” commentary track, Alex hirsch confirmed that Robbie didn’t actually mind control Wendy, it’s just dipper wanting to believe that.
The “your are now under my control your mind is mine” bit was actually from a fictional metal band in universe and Robbie just ripped it from them.
Wow, thanks I had absolutely no idea!
Ohh wasn't that the reason Wendy was upset? She realized that he lied to her about it being personally made for her.
Finally someone who's listened to them!
I cannot believe Gravity Falls only had two seasons. When I was younger, the series felt so HUGE but it went by so insanely fast that it’s depressing to think about how literally everything has gotten older.
I love this show
I hope that Schaffrillas does a ranking of Kirby final bosses or talking about Sid the Sloth in Encanto.
That's also because the hiatuses between episodes were HUGE sometimes lol
The long hiatus probably didn’t help
At 21:57, the writers don't forget about it. In Boss Mabel, the Gremloblin gets the key from Mabel allowing him to escape.
Fun fact: I know I am writing this late, but there was a scrapped part in “Not What He Seems” where Dipper and Mable were to be taken to a school and locked in there by the government agents. Where Dipper would use the president key to escape. I wished they kept that, but I understand why they didn’t. It would’ve made the episode too long and it would’ve required them to rush through the second half, whoch would’ve ruined it. Also we wouldn’t have gotten Ker Pranked, so it was definitely worth it.
Not so fun fact: Dipper was originally supposed to snap Dippy Fresh’s neck…
Oh no oh god no
good
I wish they kept the scene in, it would have been one of the best scenes in the show 😔
Not a fun fact.
An amazing fact
what neck?
In the DVD commentary for Stanchurian Canidate, Alex mentions that the original idea for the episode was that Stan feels inferior because both Bud *and* Ford run for mayor, and that the episode would’ve emphasized that Stan has the people-person skills that Ford lacks, which would’ve been epic
With new information about the behind the scenes coming up, I realize there was surpsisingly missed potential in some episodes. In Weirdmaggedon 2 the thing about fake Wendy originally wasn't going to happen, and instead a different illusion would've shown Dipper that living with Ford the rest of his life would have actually made him an outcast distant from people and especially from his sister. That would've been way better, because Dipper coming to that conclusion out of nowhere during the trial (which happens in the released episode) felt really forced to me
@@100lovenana The thing is, as was pointed out by Alex in the commentary, it doesn't make sense for the illusions to show their downsides considering it's supposed to be a prison.
While I kinda like this idea, Ford doesn't really seem like the type of person who would want to run for mayor.
@@foursidekm Yes, and I think it wouldn't be wise for him to be too public in the city after just coming back, it made more sense to have him studying the portal back in the shack.
Maybe instead of mind controlling Soos, have Ford joining the election in order to help Dipper and Mabel, which only makes Stan's insecurities about being inferior to his brother even worse.
The only problem is that it wouldn't really be in-character for Ford, by this point he's a recluse with little interest in the family.
I think the reason they didn’t have Dipper use the universal key to open Mabel’s bubble in the finale was because that bubble and the lock were made by Bill, so it might not have worked because Bill made it, and it’s not just some random lock in America. However I do agree that it could have been a good throwback to a previous episode.
This makes sense
I think it was used in lost legends
Just realized, that a great way to do the plot with the Love God would be if the anti-love potion didn't affect Tambrey and Robbie, and they kept their date going. To further the "They were meant for each other" arc. Honestly makes it less weird and kinda scary.
"Ready to head to the unknown?"
"Nope"

Fun Fact: Roadside Attraction was supposed to be before Ford came back, but they moved it to later because they were still working on the finale and needed filler. Which is why there's no mention of Ford or the barrier that they just spent an episode putting up so Bill couldn't possess any of them.
Edit: Also, about not using the President's Key to open Mabel's bubble, I'm pretty sure that it doesn't really count as "In America", which was one of the things about the President's Key, that it can only open every lock in America. Bill's power is beyond any President, it wouldn't have worked.
In America and made before 1877 are the requirements for the President’s Key to work.
@@Deadpool-ri3rq Oh! So that's why it works on the locks in the Supernatural Black Market? That's cool!
@@TailsFan what? It's true - the journal literally says: "It can open any lock in America made before 1877". I don't know what supernatural market are you talking about, probably some non-canon comic nobody cares about.
@@utmelidzedaniel418 The Supernatural Black Market features in one of the stories in the EXTREMELY CANON graphic novel called "Lost Legends", which is a collection of stories told to us about the Pines Family and their friends. One of the stories is about them helping Pacifica learn to stop stressing over appearances after she got a mark on her face just before a family picture day. Her solution was to summon something talked about in Journal 2 that would "fix" her face, but it was actually a face-stealer that ends up stealing Mabel's face when she tries to stop him. Pacifica and Dipper follow him into a place called the Supernatural Black Market, where being human is very, very risky and they have to pretend to be supernatural creatures while trying to find the man that stole Mabel's face. They get inside by using the President's Key. It's a very fun collection of stories, with all kinds of Easter Eggs and implied lore for people to enjoy!
If you haven't read "Lost Legends" yet, you really should pick up a copy. The stuff in there is as canon as the stuff in Journal 3.
I figured Roadside Attraction was supposed to be at the beginning of season 2. That’s the vibe I got when revisiting the episode
The Society of the Blind Eye will always be one of my favorites. The underlying about how you can’t try and forget the bad things and the mistakes you’ve made because that’s a part of who you are and how you can lose yourself by erasing your past will always hit different for me
Damn. This kinda hits
why did this kinda just change my life
For some reason the second season of this show never aired on Dutch television which left me to only just now watch it on Disney+ but unfortunately the existence of Ford got spoiled because well obviously.
However, something that didn't get spoiled for me was the fact that McGucket was his assistant and the scene in Society of the Blind Eye where they view his memories hit me so hard that right now I genuinely think that's my favorite episode.
Wait, it really never did??? I'd stopped watching television as much by the age the show was airing so wouldn't have caught the second season anyway but it's insane to think that it never aired to begin with, usually only happens to shows that get cancelled!
8:05 I love how perfectly the music is timed to that punch.
To me, Head Hunters will always be a top tier considering how Stan loved his wax statue because it reminded him of his brother and it kinda breaks your heart on a rewatch.
While I wouldn't call it top tier, it should have been in the top 10. I loved that one, especially since I love how the plot is mostly the same as one from the twilight zone season 4

As someone who watched Not What It Seems while it was airing, it was one of the most bat-shit craziest moments to ever witness in a fandom. I knew many people who got that Stan has a twin theory correct but still they were in shocked. I had to watch the ep live on a illegal livestream with other fans ( I didn’t have cable at the time) and the chat was livid when Ford revealed his face. Now that’s an experience I’ll like to go thru again.

Watching gravity falls as it was airing is the most mind blowing experience I have ever had, and I don’t think I’ll ever experience a show any where near the same way as Gravity falls.

@@sarahveien8541 imo "a single pale rose" from steven universe rivals this in terms of series-shattering reveals, but both were amazing
Yo 🔥czcams.com/video/rdJ9bsN7JAw/video.html..
Pacifica’s redemption arc is one of my favorites and I’m so happy someone else is team Dipcifica (however you would spell that). I think Northwest Manor is the very best gravity falls episode, except for maybe take back the falls. Maybe it’s just cuz I’m a sucker for a good ghost story, but that episode will always be my favorite (I just have to give the finale credit for being the best finale of any show ever). All the horror elements are done so well without it being too scary to be a children’s show (I especially love the call back to the “last form you’ll ever take”) and I love watching Pacifica finally break free from her parents’ bad influence. I also love how with her redemption arc they don’t fix everything immediately- she’s still kind of obnoxious and entitled in the series finale, just less so and more willing to help.
Still wish we got to see more of Dipper and Pacifica though. 😞😞
It’s a shame Pacifica’s character development gets wasted and reset back to square 1 after Northwest Manor. She just acts like the same spoiled brat stereotype she was in S1 whenever we see her in the season finale.
In the episode about the loch Ness monster I decided to count how many cameras were broken and I can confirm there was only one left. I love the attention to detail.
I've heard Roadside Attraction was actually meant to be during the first half of S2 but moved so that Not What He Seems could be the mid-season finale, which explains a lot about the episode. I know journal 3 says that it was Ford who asked them to go on the road trip, but that's never mentioned in the show proper and could honestly be a retcon written after the fact.
*czcams.com/video/mCfYi7634rU/video.html*

That makes a lot more sense now, and i think i figured it out, Roadside Attraction might make more sense if it took place right after Love God but before Northwest Mystery Mansion, as in NMM, Soos makes ZERO appearances.

And don't forget the Cipher hunt that happened after the series ended! That was a wild ride and it was awesome seeing the fans band together to solve a real-world mystery
As someone who was in the fandom when Gideon Rises came out- Yes. That ending set us on FIRE. I will never forget the energy of this fandom when it was being released, was one of the most unique fandoms I've ever been in that's very near and dear to my heart.
ahhh that sounds the best!! sadly i was still pretty young when this show was airing and im late to like every fandom i join lmao.
I wasn’t in the online fandom at the time but I do remember running downstairs, quickly watching it with my brother. We cried, I screamed into a pillow, I immediately began theory crafting, it was great
I felt the exact same way when I first saw it. I couldn’t contribute to the fandom yet because I was a little kid. But I remember little me being shocked by this episode
Yup, around the time too that Alex decided to throw out that Mcguckit "author leak" and everyone lost their crap lmao
Aw, I remember that episode's release. It was crazy!
also never forget that someone "leaked" a still depicting old man mcgucket as the author of the journals (as it was also a popular theory at the time), but it was later revealed that it was alex hirsch himself who posted that image on purpose to try to throw off the fanbase
I ship Dipper and Pacifica. I hope the series stays concluded but if, for some reason, they do pick it up again I hope they at least explore that option instead of leaving it to languish. I think it would be kind of interesting if we saw her in a sort of 'limbo'. Her good actions and relatively poor status keep her from mingling with the rich, but that she's still wealthy and too many people remember the bad things her family did keeps her from mingling successfully with the commoners, and Dipper's the only one who really understands and knows her.
They actually have a canon graphic novel written by Alex Hirsch that basically has 4 short episodes in comic form, one of which is all about Dipper and Pacifica. I highly recommend it.
@@lasercraft32what is it called?
@@luvvsushi6581 Gravity Falls: Lost Legends
If anyones wondering, Bill's cut villain song is called "It's gonna get weird", and was written by Neil Cicierega, AKA Lemon Demon. You can find it easily on youtube.
I actually really love it, it's such a shame it didn't make it into the show
It's also hilarious that I started listening to lemon demon years after watching the show with zero knowledge of the hidden connections
His sister was a storyboarder
@@squishypigs3010 Yeah! Neil also wrote a potential title theme for the show, titled “Gravitron”, which is a bonus track on Spirit Phone. I think the actual theme of the show is absolutely perfect, but it’s neat to hear a potential alternative.
I adore Neil's song for Bill, but I highly recommend finding a version that isn't just Neil doing the vocals. There are a few fan versions that have very convincing Bill Cipher sound alikes, complete with audio distortion. It really adds to the gleeful anarchy.
god I love that song I wish neil cicierega was real
The song "Goat and A Pig" from the episode "The Love God" was also written by Neil Cicierega/Lemon Demon. It's kind of a shame that that's the only thing he made that actually ended up in the show itself, but I'm still glad he got to contribute something to the series.
Although the thought that there's a universe where much of Gravity Falls' music was written by Lemon Demon and it's not the one we live in saddens me.
The thing that unquestionably makes the tale of two stans one of my favorite episodes is that Stan practically had to learn and use a doctorate’s worth of information that he had no clue about, all in the pursuit to get Stanford back. That’s dedication
That's impressive, especially considering that Ford didn't even build the portal on his own, he had Bill helping him.
I cannot believe you ranked the dinosaur episode below an episode as forgettable as *little gift shop of horrors*, I love the dinosaur episode. To each their own, but personally I saw it as the writers finally deciding to take Soos's character more seriously and have his mess-ups be reacted to more realistically, as opposed to the mess-ups being purely there as jokes. I liked seeing it taken seriously as a conflict and then being resolved, it felt like an opportunity was taken to give Soos a main role in an episode that was more grounded than other soos-focused-episodes have been. I also have quoted lines from the lie stan told to mabel countless times over the years with my friends, it's so over-the-top that it wraps back around to being hilarious. I also felt like the episode carried a notable moment of character growth for Stan. He'd been set up as a selfish curmudgeon throughout season 1, and even though he clearly cared about the kids from the beginning, it felt like any time he actually expressed any amount of affection for them was as difficult for him as pulling teeth. So, him doing something as risky and blatant as fighting a dinosaur with waddles securely attached to him was a moment of him setting aside his issues with showing the kids just how much he cares for them, and deciding that rescuing something that Mabel cares a lot about was more important than stubbornly keeping up his indifferent facade. Obviously he continues to have issues with letting people see him care about anything/anyone after this, but it's not the kind of thing that's completely solved after one dinosaur fight, it's more of a two-steps-forward-one-step-back kind of character growth, which I appreciate in this case since it feels realistic for Stan. I'd easily put the dinosaur episode somewhere in my top 15 episodes (because there's so many good episodes, it's probably still just upper-mid-tier for me, but I still think it's easily comparable to episodes like Scaryoke). Not to say you have to start liking the episode or anything, just had to share my own perspective on it. I had to pause to write a comment because there's a solid chunk of episodes that I'd think to rank this low, but I'd never consider putting the dinosaur episode low in rankings, let alone near last.
32:14 it’s Mabel at her LEAST selfish. She literally has to give up her most perfect dreamland for her burning and crumbling reality.
What I love about the finale and how Bill was finally defeated is the fact that it took place in the place where his first confrontation ended, in Stan's mind. While in the first confrontation Bill, as well the team were wondering in the labyrinth that is Stan's mind, in the final confrontation Stan cleared his mind in order to trick Bill and defeat him. I find it so poetic where and how Bill was defeated that up to this day remains one of my favourite villain defeats of all time.
A part in what makes a great villain defeat, is that there's a tinge of irony in it. Thanos being snapped from existence in Endgame, Zaheer being dragged from the sky by people gifted with airbending like he was in Legend of Korra, and Jafar being trapped by the very power he craves are all great examples of this
But if Stan's memories were returned, then did Bill Cipher return too?
I’ve just realised that. Such an amazing ending
Anybody get chills when it showed Dipper and Mabel’s room empty?
Alex Hirsch was the beginning of my complete obsession and deep appreciation for cartoons and just show writing in general. i was 9 years old learning caesar cipher and cracking codes, starting a whole fan club and so on. watching this show from ages 9-13 had such an influence on me and i’m so glad i grew up in an era of shows this great. i’m in my sophomore year of college now working to become a screenwriter for animated shows and movies and my passion really all started here.
Wow that’s really cool !!! I hope it goes well for you !
I totally feel the same way! I’m going into media arts as well (music, but still connected), and this show definitely had some say in that decision later on in my life.
Maaaan if that’s not the mood of the century
same! i honestly wouldnt be the person i am today without this show
This show made me care about cartoons alot and if it didn't, I wouldn't have my favorite obsessions today. It's not a stretch to say I wouldn't be the same person due to the chain reaction it caused in my life.
I think the reason the society of the blind eye didn't go after Mabel and Dipper when they were experiencing all this stuff is because unlike most of the other character who were freaking out and running off to tell everyone, they kept it mostly between themselves. So the society didn't feel the need to go out of their way to make them forget
That's just my idea though
“and the dipper being short jokes are kind of exhausting cause of how many there are.”
that’s the *point*
I was there when it first began, and I was there when it ended. Still one of my favorite shows of all time.

I will forever refer to this show as the best animated series, ever.
16:22 In the commentary for Boyz Crazy, Hirsch explained that the implication of the Dipper storyline wasn’t supposed to be that Robbie was mind controlling Wendy. He said that the idea was that he ripped off some band from the 80’s who did put subliminal messages into their songs, but they didn’t actually do anything because backwards messages don’t work. The point was supposed to be that Dipper was so unable to understand how someone could like Robbie that he convinces himself that there’s some grand conspiracy behind it, completely blinding himself to Wendy’s feelings and what she actually wants.
Yeah, it’s a bit disappointing the final episode doesn’t really communicate this well, but I always assumed that this was the case anyway.

As someone who went into gravity falls blind. This show was/is a treasure. My favorite part is how close Dipper and Mabel are. They really do care for each other so much
Inserting so much Persona 5 OST in the background is a win for me
My personal favorite is Northwest Mansion Mystery. It's like the embodiment of "how the hell did they get away with this?" and I love it.
The fact that every bottom ranked episode still have great parts in them really shows how amazing this show is.
Here’s the thing about Stan getting his memory back. The reversed final words of Bill involved wishing to be reborn and spelling out axolotl. In a “relatively” non-canon book, there was one confirmed canon secret. At the very end, the Pines twins find a wish granting Axolotl and they wish for information about Bill, in which it confirms among other things that it has met Bill before. Not to mention the big event Disney had for Gravity Falls fans traveling the world ending up in a hidden place that had a real life Bill statue, it is safe to assume he didn’t disappear.
Even if you disregard these events, consider Bill’s nature as a sort of memory demon. He was wiped away along with Stanley’s memories. What the memory gun normally does is extract a person’s memory and put it into a tube, effectively putting the memories in one place if not wiping/destroying them. It would be reasonable to assume that if Stan was able to get his memories back, it is still very likely that Bill is alive, or at the very least, dormant.
Will this mean a future reboot or season? Most likely not. It is perfect where it ended by itself, but Alex definitely left a few little plot holes open for the rest of us.
the comments fine but why mention the axolotl thing lol? it has nothing to do with stan's resolution, but moreso bill's past and how he may have been a liar about being so deranged and apathetic.

two minor misunderstandings that were explained in the commentary that i can’t help but mention
1: in the robbie mind control episode it wasn’t actually mind control, the excuse that another band wrote it was literally true. she just thought it was sweet that he cared enough to write her a song, then was upset when he revealed he didn’t write it. it wasn’t explained super well and kind of came off as actual mind control, it was just based on that satanic panic stuff about rock music
2. in sock opera the timer may have not actually been real! bill can only appear in dreams, and we don’t see dipper fall asleep. it’s likely that he fell asleep at the computer and bill manipulated his dream to give him a ticking clock. it may have just been to manipulate him into making a decision on the spot rather than thinking about it
43:53 I just realized this, in one of the little short episodes the entire point of one whole short was what was on Stans shoulder, a tattoo or something, I don't know what it is from this shot, but it shows what was there, I like that
32:57 I love that you mentioned this because I found it interesting that I didn’t even cry at the end of gravity falls, but specifically this short montage. I shed one tear but if it kept going I would’ve cried harder. The montage of dipper and Mabel together young and helping each other out was so sweet I just couldn’t deal with it
I feel like Dipper's impatience with Soos in Land Before Swine makes sense, as it stems from how much he cares for Mabel. He's gone through time and seen what losing Waddles does to her, so it would make sense that he has far less patience for Soos' clumsiness in this circumstance, in my opinion anyway.
I really like “Land Before Swine” because it’s a good character development episode for Stan and Soos.
To think Dipper’s anger with Soos comes from a place of love of his sister is really sweet.
Gravity falls makes me absolutely devastated my family didn’t have cable growing up. My brother and i would’ve loved to follow along with it if we were able to watch it when it aired lmao, unfortunately i never got to see it until late 2020/early 2021 and by that point i was 17 years old.

I mean to be fair, I watched it while airing and it was a pain. Disney had the stupid idea to take one of thier most culturally relevant shows and move it to Disney XD, which most cable providers didn't even provide. Almost everyone had to bootleg the entirety of S2 or just wait until Disney aired it, which was always like once a month at like 9-10 pm. I would have to fight my parents to get control of the TV because I knew if I missed it, I would get spoiled by the fans immediately.

I hope I can personally thank Alex Hirsch one day for bringing gravity falls into the world
I vividly remember the absolute explosion the internet had when the reveal of Stanley having all three books, and whether or not he said “finally We/I have them all.” It still haunts me.
The fact that that is still a meme format I see used all the time along with "Wow, this is worthless!" is a testament to how amzing that moment was.
I don't think season one could have ended on anything better than Stan staring at the newly repaired portal and the last line of the season "Here we go." Up until this point the show still feels very similar to a monster/mystery of the week show with a hint of something greater happening throughout. And then Dreamscaperers and Gideon Rises hit, immediately raising the bar. And then Gideon Rises ends on this bomb shell of a reveal and the line "Here we go." And it's at this point everything ramps up in season two. More main plot episodes, far higher stakes, greater character development, and overall more intense action. That "Here we go" truly is the perfect line to transition to season two where everything ramps up, and I don't think season one could have ever had a better ending.
