Velma review of Season 2 Episode 4 this episode sees Velma and gang hating on the history of entertainment and society as a whole. You see the modern way of doing this is so much better than the 80's, back when entertainment was better. No we must forget that and instead embrace "meta commentary that makes you think", like Velma. No I'm not joking. Velma seems to suggest that her show is vastly superior to everything from the 80's and that men must leave behind everything from that time. I'll pass thanks. But what did you think of what you saw? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)
Will you ever do a live on youtube?
I want to see the not-Shaggy "snacking" on the brain in the jar. Am I alone in this? 🤷♂️
- a small suggestion: pull back on the "rapid edits", ie cutting out the natural pauses between sentences, a requirement of zoomer YT. it's discomforting visually, as you dart around the screen, rocking back and forth- and audibly, as your cadence and intonations clash with the quick cut. the last, drawn-out word, which feels like the sentence slowly, smoothly, coming to a stop...is then juxtaposed against the rapid nature of drawing breath and punctuating the start of an observation with more prominent, rising, sound
I would like to congratulate Disparu for Velma getting a Season 3, and all of us for getting to watch Disparu cover a Season 3
At least Velma and her creator have 2 brain cells together!
Velma is what happens when people are never told "no," and are constantly told "how great they are."
Parents, don't let your kids grow up to be Cluster-Bs.
Thank you fellow ghost
Yep
No one has ever said to me "how great they are."
She won all the participation trophies.
I find it funny how Velma’s constant mocking of Christians is meant to be insulting, but coming from her I feel even more emboldened as a Christian. “Well if your against us, we must be doing something right!”
Yeah. It isn't doing what they want it to do, for sure
I've never been more pleased not to be represented in a show.
Remember that Christ made this clear that “being hated” is a feature, not a bug.
@@DerekPower no different than any other day. All are beautiful if you let them be.
As an atheist, I genuinely hope Mindy Kaling gets a special room in author Hell, preferably next to Jessica Gao.
Even mysteries don't want to be solved by Velma.
Murder scenes and crack dens are cleaner and less toxic than Velma.
Velma really gonna shit on breakfast club and the 80s while putting out the worst trash ever. Amazing
Yeah. Because we need to "move forward". Move forward from what? A bunch of happy people actually enjoying themselves and not actively trying to be miserable in pursuit of some pat et ic pseudo intel lectualism?
MINDY shitting on The Breakfast Club and the 80s. Mindy. Hates. Everything. Except other ppl's misery.
@@pete3011Satan idiot. JRR Tolkien wrote about it.
@@pete3011 old trucker saying: " Moving forward in the wrong direction is not progress. "
All the while ripping off an beloved show based in the 70s, lol.
The whole point of The Breakfast Club is that the characters WEREN'T one dimensional! Each of them had hidden and unexpected aspects to their characters that went beyond their archetypes. God DAMMIT Mindy, can you do ANYTHING right?
No.
Accepting that people of the past had better entertainement goes against their narrative of progress.
Mindy isn't very smart. Best not to expect much of anything from her.
They repeatedly call people haters, but I have never seen this show do anything except hate on others.
aint that the fucking truth
A movie with nothing but 80's references could probably make a billion dollars right now
At this stage, a theatrical re-release of an 80's movie would make bank at the box office
It was called Top Gun: Maverick and it was awesome.
Isn’t that just a Family Guy episode?
Ready Player One?
@@RG1001 It was alright, definitely good, but also imo (which isn't worth shit, I know) is being overrated.
i didn't even realize that girl in the white dress was Daphne until you said it lol i thought it was another new boring character
😂😂
Why does every creator/writer/producer have to include a self-insert in legacy IP's?
Because they're all narcissists. They need to be seen and heard. They think they're as interesting as any popular fictional character, when in real life, they're likely just annoying to everyone around them.
@@chriscollins2095 I'd add to that that on some level they're aware that they aren't nearly as talented as the people who made the previous works, hence their hostility towards them, and their trying to tear them down.
To destroy them
They have no talent for original content, anyone remember that horrible Safespace comic? So the only for their ideals to be spread to the average joe who usually ignores them the only option left is to inject into popular well known IPs and that also helps you not try hard enough after all "the brand self itself, no need to actually make something of quality or anything".
I am an USPS mail carrier. We are instructed to leave it on the porch or nearest access point, and only to knock/ring the door bell if we have something that needs a signature. Enough Americans complained about being disturbed by the knock or ring that we changed our delivery to match. Its an American thing, not a USPS thing haha.
Well between that and the amount of packages now, one would never get done. They'd have to double the routes if we had to try to have a customer interaction for every package. But yeah when I started I even had someone cuss me out for doing as I was trained to do and blow the horn upon pulling up in the yard. Apparently they had a baby that they had just gotten to sleep and I was disturbing that by doing what I was trained to do.
@@ram89572 YUUUUP haha.
@@ram89572 They told you to show up and honk? LOL I would be in the next day to complain for sure. My postal service leaves it on my porch like good boys.
Haha, that note saying, "don't ring the bell because my dog is annoyed by it".
Meanwhile, if I see a delivery truck pull in at my place, I come out to receive the delivery.
Of course, I'm usually soaked with sweat, wearing a kilt, and carrying a chainsaw or mattock, so it speaks well for delivery truck drivers that they don't all flee...
Not exaggerating, btw.
One day I came stumping around the corner in kilt, sleeveless shirt, sweatband and boots, with an axe dagling from my hand, to come face-to-face with an Amazon driver. She said "Good afternoon! Want me to leave it by the garage?" She never even skipped a beat.
Of course, I'm 54 and a nice guy. Maybe folks can just tell.
3:50 Given he was trying to give Norvelle drugs this entire season, he picked a weird time to suddenly pretend to be the responcible one
Velma is like a parody of an actual skeptic. She immediately freaks out and assumes there's a spirit, but once it stops, she pretends like she knew the whole time. I don't believe Mindy or any of the writers are smart enough to do that, but it's still there.
Yeah, the show kind of parodies and insults everything, but only some of them intentionally. Which I think is one of the core problems of it's comedy.
@alzaelnext638 Yeah, I don't know if they are intending to do the tough kid who is afraid but pretends not to have been once the danger passes trope. I hate to give them any credit for being self-aware, but I feel like there's no way they can be so oblivious to the fact that their main character is so many awful stereotypes rolled into one.
I’m still convinced Kaling’s a witch.
I remember a time when even a tiny whiff of self insert got your creation thrown out the window and would go unfunded. Now it's the rage and seemingly they don't recognise just how boring and bland they are. Seriously listen writers you are the worst kind of boring. You are supposed to be the mad inventors creating all kinds of bizarre creations all fuelled by your imagination. No wonder fiction has taken a literal nose dive in quality.
Its happened with almost all art in the west, and it all has the root cause of hiring due to demo graphic and not skill. Shocking that it didnt work out, but here we are.
When you surround yourself with only those who think like you and tell you how effing great all your ideas are whilst you've booted all those who had good ones, this is what you end up with. DEI is an antithesis of diversity of thought.
Ooooh... not sure I would say self-inserts were ever unilaterally banned. Did you know that Luke Skywalker is a George Lucas self-insert? I seem to remember the original Star Wars trilogy being pretty successful.
My point is, self-inserts are not inherently bad. You can write a character with your own personality (mind you, only ONE character) and make it work. You have to be willing to treat that character like any other character, though. It's when the self-insert leads to your ego taking over that things go south fast. Or when you try doing it with zero skill. Or when you have the most boring, insufferable personality of all time - that problem tends to go hand in hand with the ego thing mentioned above.
@@ceinwenchandler4716 I guess I should say the current brand of self inserts are inherently bad. Although I will say the general rule of avoiding self inserts should be understood and applied by most creators (I don't mind a random side character being a self insert, MC are where I generally apply it). Not necessarily because it wouldn't work if you're an interesting personality but because it goes against the most fundamental principle of creation. Imagination. Why would you want to create yourself? Surely you want to make someone who is different to you so you can put them in situations and think of what they would do.
Now there is nothing wrong with having a character who has a similar personality, experiences, skills or morality to you/creator although arguably it also depends on what world you're making and as you say don't have the personality of a wet towel. No way would I survive if I created a self insert in some of the worlds I've thought of. I also just think it's more fun to create and follow someone you're not like. It's why villains are so fun to read about.
80's references? I'm off to watch Big Trouble in Little China, personally.
YES!!

At least the brain in a jar has a brain, unlike Velma :V
and she has pretty ribbons tied on her jar, because she has standards
6:16 mindy can’t deliver a single line. It’s all so stilted. I’m reminded of the projects from video 1 in college.
She was terrible in The Office too
Velma never disappoint when it comes to disappointment.
So are they disappointing or not 🤯

“You never cease to never amaze me.”
1982 had The Thing, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, Poltergeist, Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan, TRON, First Blood, 48 Hrs., Blade Runner, Creepshow, The Dark Crystal, and more.
...Rolling it back to then sounds good to me.
You and tens of millions of other people lucky enough to be kids in the 80's!
If you summoned a demon and offered it Velma's soul it would likely give you an Expired $10 gift card from a shop that was closed then leave unfortunately leaving her behind
...no it would kill you, take her body and born a nelphiym.
Velma, the fifth most watched show on Max, out of the four they have.
Modern society feels like a twilight zone episode where some guy found a genie or something and he wished to be the smartest man on earth, and instead of him becoming Einstein everyone else just got stupider
Based
The problem with this is what if you're one of the stupid people?
Yup.
He wished on a monkey’s paw.
@@fromthecheapseats7126 or Elizabeth Hurley as the devil 😈 🥵
"5th Most Watched Series on Max"? Yeah...I call BS! Who wants to find out what cherry-picked stats they used to qualify this?
- "5th most watched - new series - only Monday - Thursday - shorter than 55min" -
I think they just lied straight out. I took a look around and I literally cannot find any site saying this outside of that one tweet, And the source that tweet is saying it got that stat from doesn't seem to be saying it either.
Exactly. Who really wants to brag they're 5th at anything? Reminds me of all the first x person to do y stuff which gets ever longer to make them the first i.e. the first woman to sail a boat round Cape Horn whilst eating a hamburger and steering with her feet.
So, wait... Fred's dad thinks Fred is okay to just hallucinate? Because Diya (Yes, I remember Velma's mom's name... hate it, but there it is) told him it was okay? And Velma used to/ still does hallucinate? What the hell did Dias do to her own child?
Messed her up and then bailed for years.

Idnian food. Street food, not cooked at home. You can see videos on CZcams. For sure you can get brain diseases from that 🤷♂️
Why are you ashamed. This has to be watched
I miss the eighties and I wasn’t even born yet
Velma is like all the world’s worst Karens rolled up into one. Vicious, hateful and knowing nothing more important than herself.
'Pattern recognition'😆
The 4 minutes of noting at the end of the video with occasional interruptions made it clear to me that I'd rather stare at a blank screen than watch scenes from Velma :P
Hell, I'd rather watch Johhny awkwardly staring at the camera for an hour
I bet the end of Velma is going to turn out that all the original scooby doo characters were hallucinating this nightmare all along.
Lol, that would at least make it make some sense..
Zoiks! I should go easy on the Devil's Cabbage, Scoob!
This show has nothing but spite for the original show.
If anything it would end by saying the original show never existed, and was some kind of acid trip.
Scooby's nightmare
Velma is the 5th most watched HBO series? That viewer drop between 4th and 5th must be steeper than the Grand Canyon
It just means no one's watching HBO series. If the top series has 10 people watching it then being 5th isn't a high bar.
Yeah, I've been looking at HBO Max's twitter, and they haven't even mentioned it since it started- they just had one post saying it was coming, 10 days before it dropped. They've had more posts about MILF Manor than they've had about Velma. This tells me it's not doing well from their point of view, no matter what talking points they're giving the press.
Normally an artist takes pride in their creation but who in the blue hell drew that character with the shaved middle part of the back of her head and thought “yeah, this is alright” geezus Lawd! Can we go back in time and save harambe to fix this timeline?!
What if changing that creates something worse?
Mindy Kaling, or what her name is: The director clearly doesn't know, what empathy is. It's about knowing, what others feel, it's not about yourself and feeling guilty for doing something wrong. The director making even empathy about oneself, that's just more evidence, she is a narcissist.
We now return to "Disparu losing his mind..."
So they are trying to say the rich woman who actually could afford to buy everything she owned somehow stole it all from people? Does this writer not know how an economy works?
The joke is meant to be “hur dur, white people steal everything for poor innocent non-whites. White people bad.” That simple & that racist.
For your comments regarding religion versus spirituality near the end...rare and insightful. Hearing anything approaching sanity lately is always a breath of fresh air. Hats off to you Disparu
To be honest I'm agnostic and I've nothing against religion or spirituality just as long as the people who believe in either are respectful to me.
@@georgeray1906 i too am agnostic and i find atheists are more disrespectful than religious folks, maybe due to religious folks believing they have to answer to god, while atheists lack humility believing they answer to no one except the State
Do you think who ever made this sits around flicking her bean tell herself how she is changing the world?
Yes. Yes I do.
I can only give one like, but loving reference to Blackadder means I wish I could do it again.
Talentless is one of many words that can be used to describe Velma
When you have no competition it's really easy to be in the top ten
Did anyone else notice that the nametag on Gigi's dad's uniform literally says, "Gigi's Father"?
It would be funnier if he was there and everyone called him by his name for the subversion but I think these guys are too stupid to think about that.
It's been like that since season 1, when he was first introduced, during the Hotness rating episode.
I wouldnt know lol @regiman222
@@boryontotheleader2328 I only know because of Disperu and Nuxanor.
I remember seeing another review of a later episode and he was literally identified as "Don Gigisfather", so I think that's his actual last name.
Geez, Disparu, pay attention.
"The Civil War, World War Two, and the 80's"
Yah, the Civil War was roughly 80 years after our founding as a nation, WW2 was about 80 years after that, the 80s was 40 years later, and that was about 40 years ago.
It literally brackets our nation's existence pretty well. We're just that young. Sorry, we can't all trace back to the 7th century AD.
Better than here in Canada… We don’t have any history, but a string of apologies…
80s were peak for movies. Shes a super smart black female scientist who broke down barriers. They treat the 1980s like it was the 1880s
This show is basically someone who knows about Scooby-Doo showed up and pitched a self insert fan fiction comedy, "because she's a comedian", and has the "fame" and unfortunately the money to fund it. It's essentially an outlet for Mindy. The reason it gets a 3rd season is because she's paying for it. She might have the money, but she doesn't have the fame. Money cant buy happiness, but it sure does buy a waste of time. Just like this show.
Great content btw. Been watching everything you upload. So glad I subscribed.
Being the 5th most watched series on Max is like being the 5th smartest on the short bus...
It also means there's a good chance that we'll get a season 3 of Disparu roasting this thing.

No AC can drop the temp that quick or blow that hard, and especially not at the same time.. the faster the air is moving passed the evaporator coil the less heat it extracts.
That's not true Disparu!
America has more than three historical obsessions,
we have 80s/90s, World Wars, Civil War, and Revolutionary War! That's four.
And doesn't include non history obsessions like fast cars, firearms, and airplanes.
And sports girls on 90s

This series is a very strong argument against the idea of the death of the author. Mindy Kaling's psyche is on full display, in high resolution. I am absolutely not joking when I say she should be on a watch list. She's a ticking timebomb
death of the author is cooked up by sjws

That could break him. Imagine if he lost his sanity and started spouting meaningless nonsense?
On the plus side, he'd be green-lit for a comedy series.
"Meta, that's our generation's thing"... Mindi Kalin is almost right. Meta was the 1970s and 1980s thing (think Monty Python, Mel Brooks, Saturday Night Live and the alternative comedy revolution), and Kalin is a couple of years short of being Generation X, so it is her generations thing. She seems to forget that she's in her 40s, not her teens though. Diversity was the '90s and 00's thing. The stuff that Kalin is primarily responsible for is timeless, in that it's total garbage in any decade in human existence.
The least believable thing about this episode is the idea Beyonce awakens anyone's soul. Every time I hear "This ain't Texas" in a video, a part of my soul departs from this realm in search of somewhere less unappealing.

Bless Disparu for these and all his reviews.
This strikes me as one of those tv episodes that can be cut out of it's own series and not even be noticed. And this is out of a series nobody cares about or noticed.

"There comes a point where your paranoia is just self-aggrandizement" Nice. And pretty much always the case with those types.
But its nice that for once I'm med icated enough to watch this w/o the show bleeding through and getting on my nerves. I suppose thats an accomplishment in a way, to create something so annoying that it can irritate people even when its brutally being made fun of.
So this episode is basically Mindy's rant against everyone who likes the original Scooby Doo and hates her show? How dare you like something from the 80s better than what I'm giving you right now!
About time you released this! I love these videos lol
Thank God you do these reviews. I will never buy their shitty service.

HEY, we also talk about the revolutionary war
I would ask for prayer for Stark of Iron. He risked his sanity, life and eyes to watch this to review it. It crushed his spirit and soul.
I know that I'm not the target audience for this show but has anyone found any intentional humor in Velma? It just comes off as snide, contemptuous and hateful instead of funny. Whoever wrote this has some serious antisocial issues.
