As a native of Atlanta this show is the most honest portrayal of my city that ive seen in media in a long time.
PERVY SAGE is it hot though
TheUwaisPatel Very...
TheUwaisPatel The 9 circles of hell probably have more moderate temperatures than Atlanta
Nah bro Love and hip hop Atlanta is clearly the most honest portrayal of Atlanta
Barrs JOHNSON Lol for sure
Atlanta gets pretty damn scary at times. I fear for Alfred's life.
Now you're getting it.
Chandasouk when he got chased into the woods, that one was a lil freeky
The Black Baron for sure. That homeless man with the box cutter. God damn.
Chandasouk *how about when Darius went to get that piano? That episode scared the shit out of me*
4real
The Trans-Racial episode was the FUNNIEST THING of 2017. And no one will ever tell me different
I love that in the end the trans-racial guy admits he hates gay marriage and calls it a sin XD amazing
@@whaddyamean99 I was laughing SO hard at that ending, great buildup and payoff for that joke, and Alfred cracking up at it was the cherry on top
Bro the dababy thing going on rn is the same
Even crazier because it ended up being real life
@@EmDub01 Alfred is _the best!_ 🤣
The price is on the can tho.
moviemaster marco the price is on the can tho?
Only kids can have Coconut Crunch O's.
@@Ihatethewaythatyou Uh...but..the price is on the CAN tho.
Bruh 😭😭😭😭😭😂
Atlanta is underrated because it's more artistic and deep than people give it credits
Underrated? It's won a whole mess of awards, one of the highest rated shows on Rotten Tomato and Metacritic I believe and has been best rated show on FX for two years. Alot of people watching it too. It's a great series and popularly recognized, far from underrated lol
People who complain about a show being underrated when they're the only ones who think so smh
k1dkur0 I think he means underviewed. I dunno bowt across the pond but in the UK it barely registers in public interest. I work in a film store (yeah people watch online now whatever) and had my first customer everask about it yesterday.
Day Man Okay that makes sense then. In the US it's been pretty huge, but I can understand it being niche in the UK. I feel like people in the UK would love it given its kind of humor
No it's not. Don't act like it's the first show to be "artistic and deep".
*I had straight nightmares after that episode where Darius was trying to buy the piano from the Micheal Jackson looking dude. And that flashback episode where his classmate committed suicide was deep af*
*Edit: I just found out that Donald Glover played the Michael Jackson looking dude and although it makes sense now, MY MIND IS STILL BLOWN*
From The Westside With Love Teddy Perkins is one creepy looking dude lol
You possibly had nightmares, due to looking through the character eyes. It turns demonic throughout the episode. If you paid attention.
I was so fucking lost and freaked out with that episode mostly cause i thought i had it figured out then it did some fucking flip shit on my ass
Ronald Norelia care to explain why it “turns demonic”?
@@bishop208 Honestly up to this moment, I do not have the answer to your question.
Thought it was super interesting that Earn starts off the show trying to peddle something at the airport, only to be rudely turned down constantly, and then at the end of season 2 when confronted with somebody else in that same exact position he rudely turns them down.
I find it weird that you talk about surrealism and realism without mentioning The Woods or Teddy Perkins, I think they're the best examples of the mixture of those styles.
This is mostly season 1 though so not really a stretch.
The invisible car scene was the greatest scene in TV history ever. It was that very moment I realized it was a good show
Now this is some emotional not well thinking statement.
LMAOOOOOOO ^^
@@keep3xplor1ng
What were you thinking?
Was that a biggie murder reference?🤔
Such an amazing joke. Like it was a throwaway comment in the club making fun of the BS people say, then to see what happens outside is just genius.
The most surreal thing about this video is that it talks about a music video that's an advertisement for an artificial chocolate drink, talks about Marxism and Capitalism, and ends on an advertisement. Woah man.
Alex Debstepper there's a difference between an advert that hides it's true form and an advert attached to the end of a piece of work in order to keep the lights on.
Day Man Ok, I get the difference, but still surreal to make a point about society. And in this case, there is a parallel to 'needing to advertise to keep ya music career afloat' and 'needing to advertise to keep ya TH-cam thingy afloat'. It's a sad reflection of society. Pretty surrealist if you think about it. Quite pitiful also.
It would be different if it wasent integrated into the content by a seamless transition and our trusty smooth voiced narrator.
the wisecrack dude mentioned about the irony before. He is self aware of that
The correlation between surrealism and marxism seems absurd to me. The way he motivates the critique of society as marxism is purely shallow. The show critiques more than society, it is a critique of representation based on its peculiar structure of the plot.
Living as a Black person in the country is a surrealistic experience.
You guys need to do a video on"Sorry to Bother You" starring Lakeith Stanfield
Facts
I’m mad it’s been two weeks and they haven’t done this.
I can't even find a digital copy or bootleg I'm hurt inside
yeeesss please
The movie is pretty bad…
I grew up in a super racist household. I saw this from a young age and have done my best to avoid the same behavior. That being said, black movies/music/topics have always made me a little uncomfortable. I've always avoided black culture, while still believing that everyone should be treated equally. I had to MAKE myself watch Atlanta and I'm SOOOO happy I did. Such an awesome show with incredibly smart things to say while still being hilarious. But perhaps the more important thing is, it exposed me to a culture that has always made me feel a little uncomfortable and helped me see it in a new light.
Daniel Campbell
There are more black shows that are just as good and thought provoking.
I hope you continue to stop resisting keep an open mind.
Do you mind suggesting some? I'd love to experience more. While I may feel uncomfortable with it, nobody ever grew into a better person by being closed off to new experiences and staying in their comfort bubble.
*Your honestly is appreciated. I hope that you continue to keep an open mind and comfortably broaden your horizons. We all have more in common than we realize*
Thank you. I promise I'll continue to try. Your kind comment is fuel for that. Thank you.
Daniel Campbell the problem is that black people identify mlre with their black skin than with being american. White people in America identify themselves as americans first and at whites later on (don't think it's that important for them anyways - except in your case maybe). Black people should stop seperating themselves and start seeing themselves as equals as most people do anyways. Start listening to people like Kanye and Candace Owens and break your DemocRATS induced conditioning to have a voter-base. And stop leaving your babymamas - single mother households (which most black people tend to grlw up in) are also a major reason you as a people fail, because it needs both parents to create a great upbringing.
Damn I missed childish gaminos "Awaken, My Love!" album right on the wall when hes talking to the racist white dude.
Thats meta AF. Donald playing a dude while his album as another dude appears on his own show playing that dude
El Goose well the episode aired a few months before the album came out so that's to be expected. Cool Easter egg though :)
Yeah that's a great blatant easter egg in hindsight. At the time I had no idea it was there too. But why would I the art wasn't released then.
El Goose Yeah the album was released about a month after Juneteenth aired. Pretty cool stuff.
El Goose it also adds to the narrative of the episode. "I'm not racist I bought childish gambino's latest album"
Just noticed that too
I literally had a guy break up with me because I said I said I would eat a dog if I were starving on a desert island and he said he would never kill a dog under any circumstances.
LMAOOOOO. sorry for the breck up tho
No you wouldn't. You're either lying to yourself, or haven't given any thought to this.
I would probably just eat dog right now for the hell of it. Wouldn't ever want to harm a dog or contribute to harming dogs in the future, though. Fuck it, meat is meat is meat.
【Chucklebutt】 ʘ‿ʘ 😂😂😂😂😂 ayooooo
He made the right call.
'Teddy Perkins' was definitely the best episode of the 2nd season; very scary. 'Barber Shop' made me go insane and 'Helen' was very weird. Those are top-notch back to back episodes. Love the variation!
This is Atlanta..don’t catch you slippin up
You not lying 😂😂
OOOOOOF WHY THO
Stay woke
Are we closer to have a Philosophy of Community episode now?
me too, hey jared
great idea
Lets get on about the office first.
ironshadow89 Oh hell yeah. If it's only the philosophy of Michael Scott I'll be happy.
That show is streets ahead
Ok, so it's live action BOONDOCKS. I'm in.
ODD IS-HE Facts!
Not at all. That's Dear White People.
To reduce it as such is... not enough. It's a smart commentary on being black but from respect to Atlanta.
The Boondocks do it.. well, from the boondocks of suburbia.
I can see why you both disagree, but if you evaluate both shows regardless of their plot & storyline.. They both share comedic/satire elements & are similar in a lot of ways. No, they are not the same show.. but are closely related.
Atlanta is a show about the environment of local people in Atlanta; they just happen to be black (because that's who lives in those neighbourhoods of Atlanta). It's not a commentary on Blackness or elements of the African American culture--just a few that are relevant to the lifestyles of people from this region in this time period; they could do the same show in Seattle and it would have white people and probably make fun of hipsters and liberal-arts majors...
Shows like Boondocks and Dear White People are specific satirical looks at black culture from the perspective of movements, subcultures, and stereotypes within the African American experience in the US. Atlanta is a show about a few people from an area of Atlanta and there's some race stuff 'cause, you know, that's what we deal with...
The episode when it was a talk show with Paper Boi and the transgender activist that has the new segments and commercials is the greatest/funniest episode of tv I’ve seen
Now breakdown every episode
There's a decent channel that has been breaking down Atlanta Season 2, at least. I don't think they have the team or $$$ that Wisecrack has, but its still pretty good.
The Channel called The Most Unruly and here the link. th-cam.com/play/PLKf60sePDADLwaFcGRC6okHEsZwgNiXJ-.html
YES! Thank you!
Like Rick And Morty
PLEASE
9:31 i did not notice that he had his album cover in that scene because the episode was so crazy.
VoicelessSoldier *good catch*
It wasn't released yet so I don't think anybody knew what it was at that time
I literally said the same thing!
Same I can’t believe I didn’t notice it
It’s finally glad to relate to people that love this show in the comments. I try to get my friends to watch it but they keep pushing it off. This show has so many freaking layers it makes rewatching episodes a pleasure. I don’t know about you guys, but I feel as if the characters are so cleaned out and real that they kind of become your friends and you stick with them through all of their flaws and just want to see them succeed. It’s not the only show that does but IMO I think it’s the best.
I definitely agree you feel close to them and also compare them to yourself and people you know. That’s why Earn was so frustrating to watch. It felt like I was watching myself or my friend continuously fuck things up. I love this show.
“The glow from the lemon pepper wings shows Atlanta’s love for them”
Wow no way really, *I would have never guessed*
THESE GOT THE SAUCE ON EM
Is that the same guy that plays Franklin on Snowfall serving the wings?
LEMON PEPPER WET?!
@@robdewberry2587 I know it’s 3 years later lol Franklin is played by Damson Idris. He’s in Donald Glovers new mini series Swarm if you haven’t seen it yet. Just in case you were still wondering😊
Possibly the best show on FX
DarkshadowXD63 on television*
Above Sunny In Philadelphia?
Mamamew TheRani not yet but it’s really up there, probably will be better with more seasons
Which says very little
@@lauravturner I just couldn't get into that show....
BAN was my favorite!!! The commercial breaks too. Okay, when I get home I'm binging the show again. I love it! 💘
It's also one of the most rewatchable shows, peeling back the layers and noticing the details once missed.
The piano episode is probably one of my favorite episodes of any show. It's funny and terrifying at the same time.
You guys should do a whole episode about the Teddy Perkins episode
Zach Dirksen yes !!! Definitely should episode had so much meaning behind it was incredible
I'd argue it's actually one of their most straight forward episodes.
Edwin Alguera no it did not.
pulkmees really? I didn’t understand it at all. Is it better if I figure it out myself or just look it up?
@@pulkmees Agreed. I'd say it was a straight forward look at how really messed up life can be and how surreal the results of abuse can make someone. But it was uncomfortable how easy to read that episode was.
9:30
Just noticed the "Awaken My Love" Album Cover
Drew Hunt : it’s weird cause it breaks the fourth wall but doesn’t cause the person who made the album is sitting there but isn’t.
Damn, I forgot how savagely intellectual the first season was 🤣
Brilliant show. The surrealism, realism and the comedy are all rolling 20's. So thankful that a show like this exists. End of the episode "Value" was the hardest I've laughed in years. Thanks D.G. and Crew!
Philosophy of Cowboy Bebop soon????
Nachelle Baylon YES!! PLEASE!!!!
Yeeeeesssss!
Channel Criswell, Super Eyepatch Wolf, and Glass Reflections offer quality videos exploring deeper ideas in Cowboy Bebop. Not to say that because those channels made videos about Cowboy Bebop no other channel should, but if WiseCrack never gives their perspective on CB, there are good channels that have offered theirs. I mean if WC did a CB video, I'd be one of the first there.
Samurai Champloo then?
There are vids on it just not wisecrack's :( but they boil it down to stoicism.
Thank you for giving Atlanta the deep dive it was due. It's layers of meaning and fisticuffs of feels needed to be explored, and you guys continue to prove that you are the ones for the job. This episode made me full on fan girl like Knives at a Sex Ba Bomb concert.
The whole series of Atlanta would be a awesome idea for a GTA game
wow I have never given this a thought...... everyone wants the next GTA to be a vice city based but holy fuck I would pay double just to fly down 85 from the comfort of my couch
atlanta always gave me an vibe of gta games, especially gta 5. this world mixing realism and surrealism that sometimes fell waay exagereted. the way gta games, atlanta and bojack horseman are writing is someting special
"Atlanta uses surrealism, to bring us back to reality" - You 100% nailed it with this, I've been trying to figure out what makes this show so perfect and by often focusing on how real it is, but this sums it up. The video was great and very well put together, ashamed to say I'm only just subscribing.
I know Wisecrack did not just bless us like this. Much love and respect to the guys over there that made this! Atlanta is one of my favorite shows.
As always love WIsecrack videos and I can't wait to see the direction for the future. I would love to see a Philosophy of Alejandro Jodorowsky, Frank Herbert, and Neil Gaiman.
I love the "Awaken, My Love!" Vinyl easter egg (9:40)
Marcus miles invisible car was the funniest bit! The pics of it, Then seening him drive it and hit people!
this is why i absolutely love this show it perfectly portrays the absurdities of real life to the point where it actually trips me out because its so Outlandish it shouldn't be a thing but it Really is and people except its as the Norm.
Been wanting to watch Atlanta but never had the time. After watching this I’ll be making time.
alfonso gonzales Same.
Ever since I saw this review I been following yall break downs. Yall do a great job and provide incredible insight
One of the greatest things on TV right now. Probably my favorite show
Please do a philosophy of The Wire!
David Lewis that would be done season by season if not on a per episodes bassis at times. Literally that's a channel on it's own. That series is so much to unpack. I find new things every time I think about it.
I know this weird, after watching this I finally understand the surrealism in this show
This was so good. I think what makes me love art more is when someone gives an intelligent critique of art that I admire. Great job.
Just started watching Atlanta
It took a minute for me to get into it but it’s really cool, you never know what vibe an episode is gonna take. Some have you laughing so hard you cry, and some make you straight up cry
This video dropped and youtube did not notify me and im subbed and bell'd up. Wtf Jared help.
Gotta have that bitcoin, y'all.
i've seen a lot of tv shows in my life and i gotta say, atlanta might be the best one ever when it's finished. even if season 3 is half as good as 1 &2 it's still gonna be way better than any other comedy or half hour show ever. there's just so much to go back to in every episode, it's pretty remarkable that something this unique exists today with all of the formulaic shows that exist
I'm about to finally watch this show. I can't imagine a more convincing tribute.
Folks toss the word 'genius' - and 'surreal' for that matter - and you know the meaning of both.
Don't know if I'll be back, but will always be grateful.
As always very insightful, favorite on going content on TH-cam keep up the good work!
Philosophy of Nathan For You!!
I seriously love you guys... I could never explain the reason why I loved "Atlanta" and now I see why...seriously keep it up and make an anime podcast too!!
The Yoo-Hoo song is in reference to a Spite ad with Lil Yachty
th-cam.com/video/7FkHt6pR9wI/w-d-xo.html
Wow wisecrack!!! I love you guys !!! You guys are the best thing on the internet by a country mile, thank you so much
one of the best shows in tv history
Atlanta: is like if Alejandro Jodorowsky collab with Mos Def
DAMN.
Ricardo Guanipa OMG SO TRUE. BUT LESS GROSS THAN JODOROWSKY. HE WAS MOSTLY USING DISGUST TO GET THE POINT ACROSS.
That's deep.
James Bradbury excrement
If you think the tele-sandwich bus-guy is surreal, it’s because you haven’t ridden the bus. 😀
I'm an Atlanta enthusiast to say the least and you guys killed it! I love how you are open to all sorts of stories! Hopefully we will see Insecure and Marco Polo soon!
I love Atlanta. It cracks me up at times, in very simple ways. It's great commentary. Almost as good as wisecrack.
Ha, somehow it doesn't surprise me at all that Lakeith Stanfield is a Wisecrack fan.
Atlanta is one of my favorite shows on television right now. I tell friends that I can't say whether they'll like it or not, but it's totally worth seeing. It's life (if life was hitting the good stuff).
I hold real Bieber accountable though.
what did he do? I thought that 'sorry' song was about a girl
Pınar Şen hes a racist. Look up Justin Bieber “One less lonely”
A lot of people do. He’s one of the most hated celebrities even though he’s changed now.
So glad you did this. One of my favorite shows on TV
From Community to Atlanta, its a been a great journey and i am all in,thank you!!
Please revisit Atlanta, would love to see a philosophy breakdown of season 3 and 4 individually
You should breakdown "Sorry to Bother You."
This last videos have been amazing. Keep them coming boyssss. Excellent job
I was notified about this video and when I read surrealism I had to watch the show, because I love surrealism, I just finished it today and I came to this video. I have to say it guys, thank you, you never disappoint me. I hope you could make more videos about this amazing show.
9:40 Glover included the artwork from his ablum Awaken, my love! in the scene
"Kevin James could be married to three different beautiful women?"
Two of the women are the same person, and in the second instance they were co-workers, not married.
Weird detail to get so wrong with all the available, equally valid, other examples.
I was so confused when he said 3 different women
Still trying to figure out if this was a joke that went over my head somehow??
Thank you so much for this 😭😭🔥🔥🔥
finally! i've been waiting for you guys to do atlanta
I see Glover in the thumbnail, I like
will never listen to Shake that Laffy Taffy the same way again also how have I not heard of this show before now? it is practically tailor made for me going to definitely check this out
glad you finally did this, don't know why it took so long but happy it's here.
To think this is the first video of wisecrack I watched and dam it's amazing this is a shout out from South Africa keep it up
Brian Tyree Henry is phenomenal in this show
9:31 "awaken my love!" plug there I see
Thank you so much for this. Learned a lot.
I’ve been waiting for this one. For soooo long.
Philosophy of NBC’s “Hannibal” please!!!
9:31 "Awaken, My Love!"
Love this show. Thanx for this one.
BRAVO WELL DONE. i will be using this to explain to my friends why this show is so good
Dammit guys! I love your show but wasnt expecting to be spoiled about I, Daniel Blake, shit. That was a movie I was waiting to watch for a couple years now... dammn...
I seriously need to watch this show somehow.
also can't remember if yall did black mirror already
Thanks for making this. I need to check this out!
luv this show man
Philosophy of Community, please!!
Damn I love this show, fcking underrated piece of art and smart entertainement.
You did an amazing job with this video! You earned a new subscriber!
Love this show , thanks for the breakdown
Atlanta is the type of smart show that Rick and Morty wants to be
Ummm, no. Completely different genres and topics.
Who's else watching and reading comments In same time ????? Can't be the only one🤔🤔🤔
Kung-Fu Kenny Family Me
Kung-Fu Kenny Family I always do that
Kung-Fu Kenny Family It's a slight problem since focusing on two things isn't always as easy as seems.
Much needed. Thanx.
love Atlanta & Wisecrack!
Who was remember that Black & Mild commercial from b a n
“Yoo-Hoo...”
I love this show. Can't wait for season 3 to drop!
Thank you for posting this :D
