They actually did explain the reason everyone talked to the camera mockumentary style in the finale of the show. Apparently the whole family was filming a reality show the whole time, only reason nobody knew was because the show they filmed only aired in Luxembourg
Dont read my name😑
I was looking for this comment xD
Yeah I was gonna comment about that when he said it. It was honestly a really funny way to explain this, and fits the goofy tone of the show pretty well.
Oh... the finale somehow never really aired in my country, reading this now I can't say I like that twist... whatever thank you for enlightening me.
@@Ammiteur9 the irony of this
Honestly, the amount of people who didn’t know Liv and Maddie were both Dove Cameron for the longest time (myself included) just shows how great she performed in the show
she really had us all gagged playing both roles i thought it was an olsen twin situation
Not only that but bad editing would have easily broken the suspension of disbelief. It also wouldn't have worked if the other actors' didn't convincingly perform like they re talking to different people. it's a testament to how good the editing and other actor's performances were.
I knew they were the same person, but I did think she did a great job portraying two characters. It was easy to forget as you watched
what?
Frrrrrr
Whatever possessed Maddie to countinue crawling back to Diggie is beyond me
No, for real! Even in the first episode he was playing games. He literally could've told Liv right there that he knew she was pretending to be Maddie but decided to drag it out for effect. What a guy!😒
@@squidwardtentacles7144I liked Maddie and josh better
well that part actually made the show seem real, because that’s what women definitely do, and she younger than the woman that do it at 27, 34, 42.
@@Thrush-flightThey weren’t even any issues between Josh and Maddie
@@emmonybrown9768Spoken like a true Gen Alpha who only knows about women through manosphere content.
Its honestly kinda cool how dove can do two different voices depending on what type of character shes playing in a movie or show
The fact that Dove created nuances for Liv & Maddie that would help differentiate them like what their dominant hand is or Liv's higher pitch voice is just shows how much dedication she had to playing them both.
Agreed. Shewas majorly talented and it's never talked about enough.
tbh as a kid Ii thought they were twins actors
@@Rekkuza-eu6sp Real Christians should only read the King James Version - KJV.
The rest versions change, add/or remove from the Bible.
@@TedEhioghae bro are you in a cult or smth
@@TedEhioghae What? The KJV was changed drastically from the original, considering everything in the Bible was cherry picked by the council of Nicaea so they could sell it to the masses. Nothing in the Bible is true anyway. Pick a different book, literally any other book to read.
As someone who lives in Wisconsin willingly, the most realistic thing about Liv and Maddie, is the fact that you CAN'T welcome somebody home without dip.
*_"willingly"_*
we live in different parts of wisconsin then
Do most people live unwillingly
@@liiillllliiilllliilllliii9461 yes
I live in MN, but I love Bayfield!! And La Crosse! Even though we are mortal enemies (lmao) I would definitely live there!
I’m an identical twin and I was a preteen when this show aired, and I HATED how many people tried to categorize us the way Maddie and Liv are categorized (trying to force us to be “the girly twin” and “the athletic twin” etc.) It was bad before since we do look verryyyyy identical, but it got 10 times more annoying because of this show
That happend to me and my twin too
liv and maddie was my whole childhood, i remember watching it with my sister every day claiming she was liv and i was maddie.
no matter how cringy liv and maddie is it’ll always hold that special little place in my heart.
same and the end 😭😭😭😭😭
Say what you want, but “sisters by chance, friends by choice’ always melted my heart.
I think the show is one of the reasons my sister and I are so close
Same, it hits really close to my heart
Literally
Okay Tia this isn’t t about your heart melting maybe go to a god damn hospital if your heart is melting off from your insides

OMG I just found that song and I did not realize who it was!
Bro huh 😳
Better in Stereo is still a banger though
@@the_irrelevant_fox fr tho
they actually "explained" the whole cutaway interviews at the finale of the show. apparently there family was staring in a reality TV show about a famous teenager (liv) living a normal life
uuuu we have the same profile picture😍
@@borsveronika lol 😂
“It’s only weird if you make it weird” is a line I use on a daily basis.
I actually really liked this show as a kid. Though it can be a cheesy kids show at times, it actually has some surprisingly good humor and nice moments.
it still holds up too even though its been almost ten years
@@nemashan3701 honestly just finished all of it not too long ago
I used to watch this show with my sister on Disney Channel back then lol
Agreed
Yea same I loved the episode that liv and Maddie get sick and Parker gets detention to get out of the mom son dance thing
You gotta admit they did a great job with the camera trickery, making you think that Liv and Maddie wasn't played by the same actress
It looked very believable to be honest
How do you consistently comment on everything so well? It can't be a bot...
Dove Cameron did a really good job playing liv and Maddie but why didn't they just hire twins??
I'm baffled how many of y'all ever were confused. Like did all of you miss parent trap?
@@garygoldsteinattorneyatlaw2642 i think he has something to comment on every popular youtubers videos.
When I was younger i loved this show. I remember singing the Better in Stereo in school for a talent show, and a lot of other students knew the song.😅
Hear me out, they needed Maddie to have glasses so they could tell Liv and Maddie apart
or or orrrr have one of them have a higher pitched voice & one wear a ponytail
I gotta give major props to dove for being able to act as two characters for 4 seasons of television. I remember being so shocked when they had a between shows segment with her and she talked about playing both roles herself it blew my pre teen mind. also props to the camera and editing crew on the show for managing to make all the shots with both of them on screen or directly interacting pretty seamless. usually things like that are pretty obvious on kids shows but the team, dove, and her body double did a great job cuz I know a lot of other people were convinced this was a zack and cody dylan and cole type of thing too
Haha same.
I also thought they were real twins
Yeah she was amazing, she even won an Emmy for Outstanding Performer in a Children’s Series!
Definitely! She had me completely fooled/confused because I’ve heard of dove Cameron but I never heard of the other twin so I was like “wait is dove not a twin???” And then saw the segment where she talked about filming it and they showed her and her stunt double and my mind was blown I never thought that it was dove acting to herself essentially
you should see tvd Nina dobrev played like 5 different roles for like 8 season and you could tell which character she was playing like katherine or elena.
my best friend and i were obsessed with this show when we were younger. we always said that she was liv and i was maddie. we would eat her mothers pasta and watch it till however late two 8 year olds could stay awake. she passed away in 2017. this show will forever have my heart. it may be “cringy” and “weird” but it means the world.
🥺🥺
It's not cringe I'm a boy and I love this show

To be fair, I live in Wisconsin and had 3 sets of twins in my graduating class of 60. So we at least had pretty high twin representation.
honestly loved this show when i was younger and still do. i also had a special attachment to it bc my name is olivia/liv and my sister’s name is maddy and everyone would say “like the tv show!” 😭 and that damn fro-yo rap will always live rent free in my head
i didn’t even realise liv and maddie were played by the same actor until i checked google
Same
I thought she had a twin
My sister told me and I started crying because i thought was 2 different people
Wait what
My friends told me and I was like ong rlly
liv and maddie was actually my favorite show as a kid. and i also didn’t know that liv and maddie were both dove cameron for the longest time. the acting and the editing was so well done
Tbh I know it but my brain still just sees Amanda Seyfried as Needy in Jennifer's Body when I see Maddie.
Same
Same here. I had no idea it was the same person. I also had no idea it was the person who played Mal in Descendants
@@bunnieyumi i just thought that Mal from descendants was just one of the actors either liv or maddie
@@HuffGLaDTem same only found out last month they were the same person 😂 imagine how awkward some of these scenes are. But wow it’s crazy to think she had to do two different scripts and personalities. I applaud her
This is how I will always see Ryan Mccartan, as Diggy. My friend only knows him as JD (Heathers). Two very different characters! Haha
Honestly probably the only Disney show I really hold in my heart. I enjoyed it, my you get sister liked it too, both my parents actually really liked it too, my godfather also enjoyed the show. I feels like it was the perfect family friendly sitcom. Dove Cameron did a really good job playing both the characters and the brothers were hilarious too. I still fondly remember it and it’s place in my childhood.
Fun Fact : Something that I always think about is how in the first episode , Liv says "you stole my face" then Maddie says "I had it first" which makes us automatically think that Maddie is the older twin. But later on in the show when we find out that Liv and Maddie are born on different days , (we find out that Liv was actually born a day early. Liv was born at about 11:56pm on the 5th and Maddie was born at 12:04am on the 6th) So maybe this was just a writing mistake or something. I don't know
Maybe maddie was kidding about being born first
The whole plot of that ep is that they didn’t know liv was born a day early….
@@beepbeep2918 yeah, but you still know who's the "older" twin normally, yknow
@@uncannyvalley2113 then the parents probably didn’t mention it.
why would that be a writing mistake? they obviously didn’t know and were surprised when they found out.
I love your videos and have been watching a lot and i haven't liked or commented on anything nor subscribed so thanks for the reminder!!!
I love this show, I've watched it hundreds of times; and yet I enjoyed your video! Great content, very entertaining!
It might br just nostalgia speaking, but honestly this is one of the shows that I actually dont think was so terrible
Dont read my name...Dont read my nameDont read my name...Dont read my name
It's actually a good show. It still holds up.
It kind of feels natural. Sure it’s over the top but it’s about a close knit family getting used to being a family of six again after their eldest was gone for four years.
They had good characters: willow, sal, stet, dump truck, falcon, etc
It's much more of standard family sitcom than a lot of Disney Channel fare. I think because nearly everyone gets their chance to play both straight and comedy, none of the characters become too grating.
I remember being OBSESSED with Liv and Maddie. It was my favorite show for the longest time and I cried when I finished it.
SAME
SAME
i cried on the last episode
Same except I couldn't watch the last season or whatever because it changed to only be on Disney plus when i watched it on something else
@@joannaoduleye4042 it was so sad 😭
I ❤ your videos they are all hilarious. Keep up the great work 😂
Love your vids bro and I’m commenting for the algorithm I usually wouldn’t
One thing I found really annoying about shows like this is that they always sent the message that the person the main girl has a crush on when the show starts is who she is “destined” to end up with even when she dated someone totally better that doesn’t treat them like garbage she still ends up with the garbage guy she started with.
This! Like teddy from good luck charlie she should of ended with the other guy and not spencer
@@foodlover0931 EXACTLY
Exactly!!! I always hated that she ended up with diggie🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Right Disney making a toxic relationship normalize like in good luck charlie
**cough** JOSH **cough**
I have to say, the show definitely gets progressively better with it even peaking in season 3. In the pilot, the characters are essentially caricatures of what they eventually become by the third season. The writing gets more realistic, specifically with the relationships. If this video turned you off to this show, just know that it gets progressively better and more enjoyable
nah it sucks
this show lowkey slaps
i fully agree!! they really found themselves as it went on
Agreed
Absolutely! Especially Liv. She was so annoying at first, but she got better👍
(In my opionion, i grew up with nickelodion,) Liv and Maddie was the only non-cringe-worthy disney show. Yes, it was 1 of two disney shows ive watched, but the plot is honestly heart warming and it was portreyed so well. ❤❤ Liv and Maddie is the best
I never really realized it but having Maddie as a role model character was really great for me growing up. At the moment I can't think of many tomboyish characters that weren't overly aggressive to the point where the show discouraged from being like them. Maddie was great for me because 1. she loved basketball (my favorite sport as a kid), 2. when it came to having relationships, Maddie was the one who had a consistent boyfriend and she had the better friends, so she seemed more real and relatable, 3. they weren't afraid to have Maddie be sensitive. She went through so many realistic struggles like whenever something was impacted by Liv being back or when she went through stuff with Diggie. They also let her explore her more "girly" side when Liv forced her to be a 3D mirror (I cannot believe I'm writing this). Anyway, all this to say, Maddie was a nice reminder that I can feel pretty while being a jock. Alex, if you're reading this, I recommend you watch season 2 episode 18 and the last episode of season 3. They both make me cry almost every time. I know it's just a stupid disney channel show, but somehow they get the emotions just right when it matters. If you made it this far, thanks for reading and thanks Alex for helping me realize I had a great role model growing up. :)
Have you heard The Beach Boys' "Hey Little Tomboy?" I only ask because you used the word "Tomboy" and I can't think of anywhere else that has been used in the last 70 years. No, but seriously: We really oughtn't use that word anymore.
@@NotoriousLightning I remember hearing it and reading it sometimes growing up, and I was born in the 90s. Maybe it became more regional over time?
Why not, it's just a word...
@@NotoriousLightning oh really? That's interesting. I can't think of where I heard it.
@@NotoriousLightning okay no I had not listened to The Beach Boys song, but I just did and wow....that's something. I don't personally think the term tomboy is bad, I have lots of friends who would refer to themselves as a tomboy and it was always positive.
Actually, funny enough( and it’s weird that I remember it), Maddie actually didn’t have the face “ first” she was born second and actually born after midnight, meaning she was not born the day that the parents told them and subsequently giving Maddie an identity crisis because she always identified with the number five but then she finds out she was born in the sixth at like 12:03 so she has a whole crisis in one episode, and it’s never talked about again.
ohhhh i thought by ‘you stole my face’ she meant like when liv came in maddie had the same expression, but I might be wrong lol
@@brivibezzz6949 oh dang you might be right. I might have understood it wrong
@@maxophilia708 nah I remember that episode too, you're right, I don't know what this other guys on about
@@simonkelly1410 i mean i thought i was wrong so that’s why i shared my suggestion because once i heard this one it made me think i was wrong
Oh my gosh how do I remember that episode
03:26 I actually never noticed, because I have a twin sister and we also had another pair of twins in our class at school, so I never thought about it like that XD
Ppl saying Maddie isn’t that good at basketball because ppl in Wisconsin aren’t good at sports
Liv: On her way to say that every year someone from Wisconsin wins a state championship
Honestly, this show wasn’t bad. I loved it growing up.
True although my judgement might be clouded by nostalgia
@@notoriouslysky same

@@notoriouslysky Not really. I watched it 2 years ago, and it is a good show. It has some nice jokes.
one of the more consistent ones aswell. the seasons didn't get messy and ruin the storyline and the ending was good. it's like a perfect lighthearted show, from beginning to end. chloe did a great job.
This show always confused me. On one hand it shows how different kinds of siblings can bond in arbitrary ways, but on the other hand it doesn’t make any sense. Charming show overall.

The reason why they did the “the office” type interview things is explained in season 4 where it’s produced by French producers and is called “bits and pieces “
When I was a kid I watched this show a LOT! Like I would spend the whole day binge watching the show. I would wake up at 6 am before anyone else just so I made sure I got the tv. I was kinda obsessed
It took me AGES to figure out that Dove played both roles. I remember asking why “The actress who played Liv” always got more interviews & such, rather than the actress who played Maddie 😂

Actually, in the last season it is explained why they talk to a camera! When Joey was in California and (If I remember correctly, it was Dumptruck ..) walked in on Joey talking to the camera. Joey introduced Dumptruck to the cameraman and said they had a "reality tv show"
Wasn’t that just 1 episode
@@kanjionshasteen9159 nope
Yeah, but they also said that one of the other reasons was because they wanted to document after Liv came home because she was now really famous
Twitches as well
the “lunch” locker in comic sans killed me.
Something vaguely related to the video, cause I think you're a genuine good CZcamsr.
I know Alex only covers mostly the first episode of these shows… but I want to put my peace out there and say I HATED DIGGIE as a character. Maddie should have not ended up with him and Disney didn’t listen to their fans even after THE LIVE VOTING and made us hate Maddie’s relationship for the rest of the show (after all that character growth from the breakup). Diggie is like that starter boyfriend but Josh was the real deal for her and those episodes where she was handling the breakup felt realistic and relateable. I’m still super mad at Disney for doing that to Maddie and giving her the short end of the stick when we all thought Josh and Maddie could have had so much more development with their relationship instead of sending a message that (it always has to be your first love no matter how toxic it was)
I HAVE SAID MY PEACE… feel free to comment if you agree or disagree
Edit: didn’t know my comment would blow up like this thank you guys for the love
I agree, but I LOVE Ryan McCartan! (The actor) he does amazing stuff on Broadway
Diggie was horrible to Maddie, he was so toxic, Josh was great. I don’t really remember why I stopped watching the show while it was airing, but it might have had to do with Maddie getting with Diggie rather than Josh during the live voting wedding episode, like Josh was so sweet and caring
Josh has ALWAYS proven to be the better boyfriend, disney messed up with making maddie and diggie get back together
Ryan McCartan also hates Diggie
I know they did that most likely did that because Ryan & Dove were together & then engaged at the time of filming the show.
Fun fact about Dump Truck: He was only supposed to be in one episode, but the fans liked him so much that he was brought back as a recurring character.
Him and Andie were so iconic
He almost went by his full name: Marion Truckberg
What about Todd Stetson
Something I loved growing up was the fact that Girl Meets World, Best Friends Whenever, and Liv & Maddie were all in the same universe
Never watched this show, didn't know about it. Enjoyed the animation Alex.
I actually really liked this show when I was younger. Took me a while to figure out Liv and Maddie were both Dove Cameron
It is really interesting when one actor/actress play both twin roles. You know they're talented if they can make you believe there's actually two of them running around.
The way I didn’t even know that……
Omg, I remember my parents bringing up that they were both dove Cameron and I refused to believe it. My view of the show was completely changed after that.
@@rachelcookie321 yeah I didn’t believe my dad when he tried telling me
same 😭
As a broadway fan it's really weird to see Ryan McCartan act in this show as Diggie. You really see the difference between good Broadway acting and weird Disney channel acting.
I remember when I first learned that JD was also Diggie. I had a solid moment there to let it settle in lol
Love his CZcams channel now as well and it's interesting to hear about the behind the scenes of this show from his pov
That's Ryan McCartan???? Oh my god I knew he was on Disney but I didn't realize that was him. Gonna be honest that makes me a lot more interested in watching the show and watching his channel.
@@thoughtsofaleo2916 yes! Definitely check out his channel, I love listening to him and his girlfriend
This was the year before or shortly before he went to Broadway as J.D.
WAIT HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS
2:50 it actually explains why they talk to the camera in the last episode I think it was, they explain how they've been filming a reality show
I remember binge watching that show because the popular girls/ my "friends" referenced one line from the show. Needless to say, I don't talk to them anymore.
Fun fact:
It’s actually explained why they are talking to the camera in the last episode where Joey introduces Parker’s friend Dump Truck to their show, “Bits & Pieces”. We even get to see like the camera and microphone and Dump Truck decides to binge the whole show in the last episode.
Dump Truck was a delight.
wait I'm confused now. Were they a family in-universe or actors playing a family?
@@floricel_112 they are a family in who are doing a reality show which they probabaly got to do bc liv is this super popular in universe actress
@@floricel_112 They are a family in-universe who had a reality show because their daughter was in a huge show
@@floricel_112 They were a family in universe, but since Liv was a famous actress, they made a reality show around her coming home to her regular family and living a regular life. It was a reality show within the show.
I think what worked about this show (at least until the last season) is that like "Good Luck Charlie" it was pretty much a fairly standard family sitcom. It's something you could see without much alteration on a regular network.
Yep family, friends, after school activities, graduation, all of them going their separate ways at the end of the show to follow their dreams. No wonder it was so popular.
Yeah, streaming wasn't as big of a deal in 2013, so this was necessary
This makes me so sad because when I was 7 me and my nana watched every episode as soon as it aired and she passed away in 2017 😭
I really liked this show as a kid, and I still like it to this day. Howeevr, I love ur video and you are halarious!
You know the show's actually pretty decent when Alex can't find anything that bad to criticize, and he has to fall back on "when I was a weird teen in high school" jokes 😂🔥
half of this video was just him embarrassing himself 😂😂🤦🏽♂️
Ok about Diggy tho, as someone who's gone to school with 3 pairs of twins growing up... its hard to explain but when you know someone you just... know. I would see one of the twins in the hall and would know which one it was. So Diggy being able to tell the difference between Liv and Maddie because he knows one twin so familiarly just makes sense. At least to me.
Also I can't look at Diggy now without expecting him to break out into song about brain freezes from 7/11 slushies and attempting to commit mass murder while trying to make it look like a mass suicide.
Right? I expected him to just say “Chaos is what killed the dinosaurs, darling!” To Maddie
FREEZE YOUR BRAINNNNNNN
Same, when in elementary school I had two friends who were twins qnd could always tell the difference for some reason and in middle school I had a friend who had a twin who I didn't really know much but I could always tell them apart.
This man’s comments on every part and I love it lmao at this 😂
I love your videos. I just wish they were a bit longer.
Look I respect the roast. But full confession I watched this show when I was on bed rest after surgery at 30. It was just supposed to be background and it really genuinely grew on me. I finished the show with such immense kudos for Dove because I LOVED her characters. The show was adorable to me. Cheesy but in the best kind of way?
Watch good luck Charlie
It’s so good
Liv and Maddy seemed rather tame as compared to the other shows. I genuinely enjoyed the show I will admit it had some weird moments though
Dont read my name...Dont read my name
No because this show was really good. It’s not that cringey as Sony with the Chance. Not surprised it got 4 seasons, plus Disney really loved Dove Cameron and made her more famous with the Descendants trilogy.
same.
Pick up your cross and follow Jesus! The world is quickly headed for destruction, and sooner or later you will have to sit at the judgement seat and give an account for your actions. Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life! - Revelation 3:20.
Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God tho.
Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc and you should get a response. Have a blessed day!
I love how this popped up on my home page cuz I was literally just watching Liv & Maddie last night
This was my entire childhood. I watched every episode as a kid and heavily influenced my life.
in the topic of twin representation, i do think it's overdone but only with identical twins. i have a fraternal twin sister, we don't even look related, so i couldn't really see ourselves in these type of shows (i was still obsessed with twin media though. twitches - a masterpiece)
Yeah, I know both fraternal twins and triplets(separate families). They all look severely different from each other, I can see your frustration.
I always thought twins were cool though, I'm not the only one
as someone who met a pair of twins (fraternal girls) and personally knew a set of triplets growing up (two boys and one girl, fraternal of course) it really opened my eyes to the fact that in addition to over-representation there's a lot of misrepresentation too. most aren't exact clones or polar opposites but somewhere in the middle. much of the tension is external; constantly being compared to your sibling, being sandwiched into a collective when you're just trying to be an individual. you're existence commodified and in some instances sexualized in the most demeaning of ways. which is why I found it very difficult to enjoy media where the whole punchline is "see? they may LOOK the exact same, but they ACT like exact opposites!" because it didn't ever feel realistic.
Yeah, there’s so many identical twin shows, I remember my twin brother and I always got annoyed, like why is everyone so obsessed with twins? Like twins aren’t that special. 😭 But also being a twin really sucks IMO we’re constantly being compared and competing against eachother. Like I can’t go two seconds without someone going “well your brother did this,” or “why aren’t you more like you’re brother,” ect.
Growing up I was friends with twin sisters, and they looked and acted nothing alike!! One looked just like their mom and was super quiet and studious, and the other looked just like their dad and was extremely outgoing and athletic. They had a little sister who was a couple years younger, who looked nothing like either of them, nor the parents (she was indeed their full sister, no infidelity involved). If I didn't know them, I would have maybeeeee assumed that they were cousins.
Real life identical twin here. Hi. I think there is definitely an overdone amount of rep for identical twins, but I'm actually still deeply dissatisfied with the rep we get. Like, without getting too deep into it, growing up being treated like I wasn't my own person, getting asked questions about if I literally had the same personality as her, getting creepy guys coming up to me and asking invasive and utterly disgusting questions about my relationship with her, having people assume they could violate my personal space and boundaries because they were close with my twin even tho I had never met the person, it was brutal. I can count on one hand the times someone gave me a personal card addressed solely to me. Not to mention that we were constantly compared to each other. From ages 4 to 11 we both thought our parents wished we were more like the other. it honestly messed both of us up a lot, to the degree that at one point, I planned on committing suicide because I thought my only purpose in life was to be there for her, and I couldn't handle being in that situation anymore. I'm at a point where it is so romanticized, that I wished people would stop putting us in shows at all. Like, go deeper and give real character development, or shut up and spice up your show using a different pairing of blood related people to be in an incestuous relationship. I am so done. I can't even watch shows with identical twins anymore, it just depresses me. sorry for such a long comment, I just had to vent i guess.
this is the type of show that takes a bit to hit its stride but it's actually one of the more decent Disney channel original shows. I think it's mostly because the show introduces itself as only "identical twins being so quirky and opposite ooo" when their brothers carry the show most of the time with their pinky and the brain routine. like it can be summarized in such a boring way while the subplot is usually the interesting stuff like The Parker Tunnels™ which seems much more noteworthy tbh
Mighty med plz
8:55 he literally could’ve just said that the way Maddy talked seemed outta place with the “Baam what?” at the end and knew that was Liv just from that alone
Actually it was “Baam whaaaatttt”
I literally remember all these scenes EXACTLY.
I remember there was one episode in a later season where they kinda poked fun at the fact that Dove Cameron played Liv and Maddie because Joey (the older brother) made a short film and he played two characters and when the family saw it Liv and Maddie commented about how he played two characters and it must be really hard and he said it wasn’t that hard
Wiki says joey was younger
@@natashambulo3510 I think DaCoolBoy24 means the "older" out of the two brothers, Parker being the "younger" brother
@@natashambulo3510 I meant the older brother. I can't remember his name
@@dacoolboy2449 Ohhh.... I get it now. Thanks for clarifying 😁
@@natashambulo3510 No prob
Me and my brother always loved Liv and Maddie when i was younger! Thanks for making a video about it!
Doves Cameron’s progression has honestly been great to watch. She left an abusive relationship, lost a parent, learned what she wanted and liked and then went after it.
abusive relationship????
.
Why losing a parent Is good?, Was this persona abusive to her or something?
@@primrosetakeva4848 if I am not mistaken the actor that was in the relationship with the Maddie character he and dove dated in real life I've heard he was abusive
lost 2 of her best friends
Honestly, though the theme song straight fire like seriously that’s one of my favorite songs right now
If someone says "I know you, Mari" too me irl I WILL drop kick them
for once i disagree with alex; liv and maddie was great. probably one of the best disney shows out of the ones airing in its time
⟟ agree. Liv and Maddie was my favorite show while it was airing.
I agree.
Agreed
You do have to remember that Alex is in his thirties and grew up watch Disney Channel shows like Kim Possible, Even Stevens and That's So Raven. I am 30 and I grew up watching the older Disney Channel shows. I thought Liv and Maddie was a decent show. Except that Disney Channel seems to think that kids nowadays are stupid. Because the shows have gotten progressively dumber.
this was my childhood
it was so much easier to watch this when i didn’t have any self awareness- now everytime liv sings my body folds in on its self
Same, sometimes I rewatch the show because I'm bored and I've never skipped so fast whenever she sings
I literally become a black hole
my blood kinda boils a little
Despite being a boy, I always adored the opening theme for the show growing up and sung it religiously (pop was my favourite genre at the time). Oh how I miss those simple days...
I haven't heard about the Dove Cameron controversy. What did she do???
Illicitly manufactured meth is usually made by combining ephedrine or pseudoephedrine with other chemicals that are often poisonous or highly flammable. The mixture is then added to a solvent such as gasoline and heated to crystallize.
Because illicit methamphetamine production is not regulated or supervised, and there is no quality control process, any number of cutting agents could conceivably be added to the process to dilute the drug.
The heating process is particularly dangerous, as there is significant risk of fire and explosion. The waste materials left behind are also highly unstable and combustible. According to the U.S. Forest Service, 1 pound of meth produces up to 6 pounds of toxic waste.2
There are many detrimental health effects associated with operating a meth lab. Inhaling fumes during methamphetamine production can cause significant lung damage and other respiratory issues, while handling the various corrosive or poisonous chemicals can damage the skin and eyes.
I LOST IT AT THE "SUDDENLY SEYMOUR" BIT LMFAOOOOOOO
I actually really liked this show and its premise. Liv coming back from being a huge actress and learning how to become normal actually makes a lot of sense and while its a simple premise, they make it work.
I'm going to sound like such a nerd for this show, but they actually *DO* explain why they have the confessional "talking to the camera" bits in the very last episode of the whole show. They reveal that after the conclusion of Sing it Loud, she was offered a reality show that would film and showcase her family life. It was called bits and pieces and was aired solely in Luxembourg XD
Again, it was talked about in the last episode of the last season where they have Dumptruck walk in on the middle of one of them and either liv or maddie (heck, or maybe joey, it's been a while) has to explain the whole thing and he starts to bing watch the series throughout the rest of the episode XD
It was joey and good point why do I know this
I only finished the whole show once before, and I guess I missed this! Time to go binge it again heh
Liv and Maddie is on Disney pot
Liv and Maddie's on Disney Plus
I have watched the show soooo many times but i don’t remember that part and I would watch the finale again but it’s too emotional for me to handle another time lol
I watched this as an early teen and wow. I remembered it so fondly
Yep as a Wisconsin resident I cannot imagine a famous person who isn’t a politician trying to make us swing one way or the other staying here for more than a day
I LOVED this show. I remember all the songs, the characters, EVERYTHING. Plus, it's one of the later Disney shows with good writing. And Dove Cameron acting in descendants at the same time blew my mind at the time
Dont read my name...Dont read my name
@@MbitaChizi okay, i won’t
I…thought it was AFTER this but if that’s true wow.
they explained why they're talking to the camera in the series finale!
While Joey was doing his bit, DumpTruck came in and asked "what's with all the cameras?" Joey then explained that ever since Liv came back from Hollywood, they have been filming a reality TV show called Bits and Pieces that airs in Luxemburg [apologies if i got the spelling wrong]. So, that is why for 3 years, they've been talking to the cameras👍🏼
I think Disney tried to show people/kids that couples could have fights with Diggie.😊
Something vaguely related to the topic
Love to help out ma boy Alex
my sister was addicted to this show and parker and joey were the reason i stayed sane while watching it with her they were honestly a hilarious duo
Dont read my name😑
Same tbh
parker and joey were the best
You’re right about twins being in so many shows. I never noticed because-just in my elementary school (or, at least with people I knew, since there were probably more), there were four sets of twins and a set of triplets. Also, this was not in my school, but my older sister also knew another set of triplets.
Except dove is not a twin or was Lindsay Lohan or the twins in the old parent trap movies
@@ginapetolicchio2684 - yep. I never said that they were.
Always look forward to your videos
Something vaguely connected to the topic ✨
Dumptruck was by far the best character in the whole show. Something about the tone he spoke in while saying the most sophisticated words was so funny to me. Great character
Nailed it
Dump Truck was the best
They have always condemned us women to be either pretty and popular or smart and athletic, as if we can't be both. This really affected me growing up, when I dressed up and wore make-up I felt dumb and when I won gold medals for sports and science I felt ugly. Now I have unlearned that and know I'm both pretty and smart. I hope everyone else does too.
How so? Most shows have neither.
@@Tr1Dylan this entire show is one character whos a pretty dumb girl and the other one is an "ugly" sporty nerd character
@@jacobjenkins7362 no one said they’re ugly. And they made a whole song about what a girl is
@@jacobjenkins7362 Liv is definitely not dumb, you clearly didn’t watch the show. If you did you were not invested
@@jacobjenkins7362 there was a whole episode about how Liv helped her brothers win a contest about being smart (i cant remember exactly what it was because i haven’t watched this show in a while) so that people knew that they could be smart and pretty. there was also an episode about how you shouldn’t have to be pretty to be seen as a girl. if you really believe that then you didnt really watch the show
Good vid keep it up! (is that good for your goal?)
Little me CRIED when I found out they wasn’t even real twins..
Man, my best friend loved this show as a kid and managed to get me to watch it.
She came up with the idea of doing a “show swap”, meaning I would watch her favorite show if she would watch my favorite show. She made me watch Liv and Maddie and I made her watch Ninjago.
So that’s why I’ve seen all four seasons.
Ninjago is peak, but the timelines are hella confusing 😵💫
@@akiterutsukishima3428 oh definitely
Ninjago is such a masterpiece. I haven't kept up with the new seasons as much but those older seasons are my childhood.
That sounds like one of the best ideas
@@larrypoppins6273 I was so upset when season 1 was off Netflix
I will say it never occurred to me to question how many twins end up in these shows because my high school had literally two sets of twins. And when you get to know them you can tell which is which. One of the reasons I have such a high standard for actors is because of real life twins. They have different personalities, mannerisms etc. So when an actor is playing a "different" person but moves and acts just like every other character they've ever played it's like "really?!"
Funnily enough I went to school with two sets of twins - both sets had the same birthday. Coincidentally also had two friends who shared birthdays with their younger sibling.
She had different wigs, nail polish, and dominant hands for Liv and Maddie, so she did change how she acted for each of them
My school has 8 sets of twins lol… two seems like such a small number to me💀
@@Narra0002 I know. I can tell just from the pilot. But there are actors whom if you binge watch their movies they never change how they speak, talk, move etc every character is the same person with a different name. Jodie Foster is one.
I love the vids man
better in stereo is still on my spotify playlist!
When you made a point on Liv and Maddie both being blond while the parents have brown-black hair, it’s important to know that genetic features of a human can come from other biological family members. That being said it’s possible that Liv and Maddie both are blond bc a probably grandparent has the same type of hair. I mean heck I got my hair type more from my great grandmother than from my own mother lol.
Yeah, both their parents could just have Aa (very simplified) for hair gene, with A being dominant brown and a being recessive blond, making it possible for the twins to have aa for hair. Now if both parents were blonde and the twins had brown hair, that'd be a little suspicious 👀
Yes!! So most people in my family have brown hair and darker eyes, and my husband is half Dominican with dark skin and dark eyes. We have three sons. Our oldest is a mix of us both, our middle has the same dark skin tone as his Dad, and then our youngest has fluorescent white skin with blond hair and blue eyes. The only other family member I know with his features is my second cousin. Genetics are weird!
Karen (Liv and Maddies mom)'s mom and her twin is blonde 👍🏼
@@thekitkatlizard8661 I was wondering if the youngest brother was supposed to be adopted in the show. I don't recall ever saying that though. Especially his character is Asian and everyone else is definitely white.
