Thanks for watching everyone! Took a little break from the main episodes to check out some of the shorts. We will most likely do another premiere for the season 2 premiere reaction next Friday March 11 at 1PM EST. Keep a look out for a community post on that
18:01 I love that stan was singing "the stan wrong song" that mable wrote for him. Probably because she made him do it so many times its stuck in his head forever.
My favorite part of the mailbox is that the entity would've answered "Stanford Pines," which the kids don't know isn't Stan's real name. They'd think he wrote them unless he buckled and told them the truth before activating the portal.
This is actually what the island head said in backwards, which is actually kinda scary: "You've awoken me from my slumber. Enter my mouth, children. Enter your destinyy" These shorts were amazing. Now you'll go delve more into the craziness of the show in season 2 and yea I'm as pumped as you lmao.
I love how you are reacting the same as Dipper during the Mabel episodes. Makes you realize Dipper is quite amazing. He is around Mabel 24/7 and he can keep up with her as well as is used to her energy. I respect that.
The codes in Dippers shorts reads, according to the wiki: - The Caesar ciphers combined is a clue on how to solve the number code. Once decoded and put together, it reads "FROM THE FIRST UNTIL THE LAST SEARCH THE CODES OF CREDITS PAST ONE MEANS ONE SO SEARCH THEM ALL WELCOME TO GRAVITY FALLS." - When the number codes are combined the message reads, "I WAS SO BLIND. HE LIED TO ME. THE DARKNESS IS NEAR."
Are we gonna acknowledge that Mabel ruined the future of humanity by making a Gummy Worm video? “The era of human enlightenment shall never come to pass.”
By the way, the floating island head spoke, like other characters in the show, backwards: "You have disrupted my slumber! Enter my mouth, children! Enter your destiny!"
These sorts are so fun, and there’s even a few that have small clues towards future events, though obviously I won’t spoil what. Season 1 is great, but season 2 finally pays off all the stuff set up in the first season and builds on it. Can’t wait to see your reactions to it!! 🌲
Apparently Disney had no problems with Lefty until someone at a meeting described the ending as a mass suicide but by then it was way too far into production to drop it. They did veto Mabel's shorts about death and smiles though
I just learned through the comments that the hide behind is actual folklore, which is really neat. The Left segment caught me off guard there honestly. I did not expect it the end like that and was very surprised it made into the episode
I'm happy that you saw the shorts. I really like them, they add a bit more weirdness (and horror, seriously that island head that tried to eat them was terrifying, especially when you know what it's saying) to the town that isn't necessarily explored in the main episodes. It reminds us that Gravity Falls can not only be an odd, but also scary place to live in. 13:35 Yes, exactly my thoughts! If you pay attention, you can repeatedly see Stan more or less begrudgingly playing along with Mabel's (and Dipper's) shenanigans in various episodes. Even if sometimes due to bribery, it's still sweet. As for the rest of the shorts, I can also recommend Fixin' it with Soos and the two Mabel's Scarpbook shorts. They're spoiler-free and one of them even gets (very briefly) referenced in the main series. But it's nothing important, more like an easter egg.
I really do love seeing them act more and more like a family. And I would love to see a season of them just exploring all the weird stuff of Gravity Falls
The hidebehind is actually a real cryptid in american folklore. It was blamed for the disappearances for loggers, and was said to have an aversion to alcohol. So loggers would drink alcohol to repel the hidebehind.
Anytime I talk about Gravity falls or a horror game in a forest, my Grandma will say “the one with the hide-behind in it?”, which is also one of my favorite creatures in Gravity falls, it’s design is so cool
I’ve been looking for a good review of gravity falls for a while, you’re the best one yet, I really like your reviews and think they’re the best I’ve seen. I watched this show with my friends as it came out. I hope you love season 2 as much as I did!
Ok ok- ONE more thing! At the end of each dipper shirt there was a flash you probably saw! It was a piece of an image - the image is a giant eye with a big old red X slashed through it. And there is a code that says: FROM THE FIRST UNTIL THE LAST SEARCH THE CODES OF CREDITS PAST ONE MEANS ONE SO SEARCH THEM ALL WELCOME TO GRAVITY FALLS." That itself it is a clue on how to decode another set of codes on the same image- which when that is decoded is: "I WAS SO BLIND. HE LIED TO ME. THE DARKNESS IS NEAR." 👁️❌ Be ready for season 2
I used to go camping a lot, and one year that I was staying at a trailer park with my family in summer we actually DID celebrate summerween! The entire trailer park was involved, and it was great :)) they’d been doing it for years
Fun fact the creator of gravity falls Alex Hirsch voices a lot of character he is the voice of Stan soos old man mcgucket the gnome leader Jeff bill cipher he also voices a lot of other characters
I haven’t looked at the voice cast yet because I don’t want to be spoiled on future characters, but I’ve been learning he voices many. Man of many talents!
The other animated shorts are all spoiler free for someone who's done with season 1 but there are some shorts with puppets and those have HUGE spoilers so make sure to avoid them for now if you haven't watched them yet
@@MikeyVenture Its fine tho. That short is something you need to find. If stumble onto its pretty obvious just dont watch the one made with real puppets
@@MikeyVenture I’d definitely recommend having the person who screens your comments also let you know which ones are safe to watch, if you still haven’t seen them. I really want you to get through this series as spoiler free as possible!
Fun fact about Soos dressed as the Goblin King from “the Labyrinth”: there was originally going to be an episode or short that would be one big reference, but Disney shot it down because it thought a vast majority of the target age audience wouldn’t get it
I would love to watch more in the style of Dipper's Guide to the Unexplained. I mean, that would be an ideal way to bring back Gravity Falls while keeping it separate enough to not ruin the completed story. If they ever do decide to bring back Gravity Falls in a new form (as they've done with so many other series (and often not in a good way)), I really hope that's the direction they take.
Apparently the Hide Behind is based on the creature "The Hidebehind" from American folklore".en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidebehind As for Tooth the creature is saying the following backwards message (in the American version): "You have awoken me from my slumber! Enter my mouth, children! Enter your destiny! RAAAAHH!" gravityfalls.fandom.com/wiki/Tooth
There's a picture that shows after every short of Dipper's Guide, when u put it all together it will look like a symbol. It'll be a very important clue for one of the episodes in season 2
I’d just like to point out something. I remember someone saying to you that season 2 is just as enjoyable as season 1, but I would say that season 2 is SLIGHTLY better than season 1. I say that because when you complete the series, if you ever made a top 10, 15, or 20 list of your favorite Gravity Falls episodes, it would mostly be filled with season 2 episodes. Also, season 2 has other things that Gravity Falls is known for; heart, emotion, and character development. What I mean by that is in season 2, we learn a lot more about characters that we didn’t know well and/or didn’t really matter in season 1. And lastly, there multiple cryptograms/ciphers in each season 2 episode. The good part about that is when and if you try to look for them, you get to be just like Dipper and have a mystery to try to solve.
Also, no spoilers- but idk if you knew but the journey pages are actually readable (atleats some of them are)- idk if you knew that- but whenever dipper opens the pages of the journal it's fun to always pause and read the page - some really good fun Easter eggs and interesting stuff!! ;)
@@MikeyVenture yeah! Some are just a bunch of scribbles but some are actual text!! You can go back and read some if you can! One I know for sure that has text is bills page 😳😳 it's all scratched out but you can def read what's under it!
12:32 notice how he leaves the camera and walks away he also doesnt follow Mabel.. someone said that he did this on purpose to catch it on camera but who knows
Thanks for watching everyone! Took a little break from the main episodes to check out some of the shorts. We will most likely do another premiere for the season 2 premiere reaction next Friday March 11 at 1PM EST. Keep a look out for a community post on that
By the way mikeyventure the floating island was speaking backwards saying you awoken me come to my mouth childrien come fufill your destiny
18:01 I love that stan was singing "the stan wrong song" that mable wrote for him. Probably because she made him do it so many times its stuck in his head forever.
My favorite part of the mailbox is that the entity would've answered "Stanford Pines," which the kids don't know isn't Stan's real name. They'd think he wrote them unless he buckled and told them the truth before activating the portal.

These shorts were amazing. Now you'll go delve more into the craziness of the show in season 2 and yea I'm as pumped as you lmao.
Yeah it’s quite unsettling isn’t it? And season 2 is going to be a blast!
I love how you are reacting the same as Dipper during the Mabel episodes. Makes you realize Dipper is quite amazing. He is around Mabel 24/7 and he can keep up with her as well as is used to her energy. I respect that.
I really loved the Mabel shorts. Dipper’s shorts were more interesting to me, but the Mabel ones were just plain old fun
Mabel and Stan invented NFTs with the cat-cature
One of the neat things in this is how Stan sings the "Stan is Wrong Song" in Mabel's Guide to Fashion.
It’s such a fun little thing
The codes in Dippers shorts reads, according to the wiki:
- The Caesar ciphers combined is a clue on how to solve the number code. Once decoded and put together, it reads "FROM THE FIRST UNTIL THE LAST SEARCH THE CODES OF CREDITS PAST ONE MEANS ONE SO SEARCH THEM ALL WELCOME TO GRAVITY FALLS."

I’m anxiously excited to begin season 2! So ready
Apparently Disney had no problems with Lefty until someone at a meeting described the ending as a mass suicide but by then it was way too far into production to drop it. They did veto Mabel's shorts about death and smiles though
Yeah I was quite surprised that made it into the episode. This show does delve into some dark stuff
They didn't commit suicide, they just... uh... teleported to another dimension! Yeah, that's it! 🙂
@@ShyGuyXXL The Afterlife Dimension.
@@ShyGuyXXL
The Shadow Realm xD
They vetoed what..? NOOOOOOO I WANT TO SEE THOSE NOW!!!!!!!!!!
I was actually scared of the hide-behind as a kid lmao. And yeah it's surprising how dark this show can get, especially the one with Lefty
I just learned through the comments that the hide behind is actual folklore, which is really neat. The Left segment caught me off guard there honestly. I did not expect it the end like that and was very surprised it made into the episode
What do you mean as a kid? The show just came out...
**looks up release date for S2... 2014
Oh nooo... me is getting old
22:06 Mabel predicted NFTs

The Hide-Behind is an actual cryptid folktale critter from the southeastern USA I believe.
Yeah I was informed of that by a few people. I never heard of it!
Stan just sing the Stan wrongsong 18:07
Haha I caught that when I was editing
Anytime I talk about Gravity falls or a horror game in a forest, my Grandma will say “the one with the hide-behind in it?”, which is also one of my favorite creatures in Gravity falls, it’s design is so cool
Mabel's guide to colour. I realised the sweater she wore in that one was the cover art of Pink Floyd's: Dark side of the mood album. 20:53
Oh that's a good comparison! Very similar
Love these shorts. That candy monster definitely reminded me of Krumm from Aaahh!!! Real Monsters
Krumm! Thank you I couldn’t remember his name
I’ve been looking for a good review of gravity falls for a while, you’re the best one yet, I really like your reviews and think they’re the best I’ve seen. I watched this show with my friends as it came out. I hope you love season 2 as much as I did!
Thanks so much that’s super kind of you to say. Glad you are enjoying them! Doing these videos are much easier when the show is so great

Be ready for season 2
We all know what THAT symbol means
I used to go camping a lot, and one year that I was staying at a trailer park with my family in summer we actually DID celebrate summerween! The entire trailer park was involved, and it was great :)) they’d been doing it for years
I love the shorts, Dipper's guide to the unexplained is my favorite
I would watch a season of this honestly
Agree! I Like Dipper's Guide To The Unexplained
Fun fact the creator of gravity falls Alex Hirsch voices a lot of character he is the voice of Stan soos old man mcgucket the gnome leader Jeff bill cipher he also voices a lot of other characters
I haven’t looked at the voice cast yet because I don’t want to be spoiled on future characters, but I’ve been learning he voices many. Man of many talents!
SHMEBULOK!
3:47: Notice a symbol of Bill is on the cards.
8:42 so that's what behind the scenes of 2D characters looks like.🤣
You should also watch fixin it with soos, gravity falls TV, and Mabel's scrap book. They should all be spoiler free.
The other animated shorts are all spoiler free for someone who's done with season 1 but there are some shorts with puppets and those have HUGE spoilers so make sure to avoid them for now if you haven't watched them yet
Actually I haven't watched them yet. So I should avoid them for now?
@@MikeyVenture Yeah, definitely, there are references to the series finale in some of them
@@MikeyVenture Its fine tho. That short is something you need to find. If stumble onto its pretty obvious just dont watch the one made with real puppets
@@MikeyVenture I’d definitely recommend having the person who screens your comments also let you know which ones are safe to watch, if you still haven’t seen them. I really want you to get through this series as spoiler free as possible!
Are you talking about fixin' it with soos? cuz that's the only shorts I could think about
"My Grandma was right, *I am the world's most perfect man.* " -Soos
The delivery of that line is so perfect
The floating head island monster had human skeletons on the bottom of it...
Fun fact about Soos dressed as the Goblin King from “the Labyrinth”: there was originally going to be an episode or short that would be one big reference, but Disney shot it down because it thought a vast majority of the target age audience wouldn’t get it
My favorite part of Mabel’s Guide To is the info on the Aztecs in her “history” book
Dipper wasn’t having it 😂
@@MikeyVenture It’s one of the best freeze frame bonuses on the show (that doesn’t foreshadow a mystery)
I would love to watch more in the style of Dipper's Guide to the Unexplained. I mean, that would be an ideal way to bring back Gravity Falls while keeping it separate enough to not ruin the completed story. If they ever do decide to bring back Gravity Falls in a new form (as they've done with so many other series (and often not in a good way)), I really hope that's the direction they take.
Agreed 100%! I’ve expressed the same desire to see something like that. Like no deep lore or mystery. Just exploring the mysteries of Gravity Falls
Oh season 2 will blow your mind
Mabel invented NFTs
Apparently the Hide Behind is based on the creature "The Hidebehind" from American folklore".en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidebehind
As for Tooth the creature is saying the following backwards message (in the American version): "You have awoken me from my slumber! Enter my mouth, children! Enter your destiny! RAAAAHH!"
gravityfalls.fandom.com/wiki/Tooth
I didn’t know it was actual folklore. That’s really awesome
@@MikeyVenture Honestly I didn't either until I looked it up on the GF wiki and saw what the GF creature was based on.
There's a picture that shows after every short of Dipper's Guide, when u put it all together it will look like a symbol. It'll be a very important clue for one of the episodes in season 2
Please correct me if im wrong but the symbol is the blindeye symbol right?
@@erastiesa yes, it is UNSEEN
On the end of the dipper videos as always a picture
If you put them together you'll get something pretty cool
I keep meaning to look it up because clearly it was a different image at the end of each one. Love when shows do fun things like that
@@MikeyVenture
Same^^ I wish you a lot of fun with the second season (:
It's gonna be really entertaining, can't wait to see your reaction (:
@@MikeyVenture here you go! th-cam.com/video/WCd8o0X_K1Q/w-d-xo.html this is the picture. It just has the gravity falls theme playing. :D
Can't wait for your reaction to season 2!
Everyone’s enthusiasm talking about season 2 has me very excited
This was a really fun reaction, I’m glad your enjoying and I do say mabels sweaters are AWESOME
Glad you had fun! And Mabel’s sweaters are always A+
20:05 me too 😭
I didn’t even notice how much the Hide-behind looks like Groot
I’d just like to point out something. I remember someone saying to you that season 2 is just as enjoyable as season 1, but I would say that season 2 is SLIGHTLY better than season 1.

Yeah his has me so pumped for it. I did watch episode 1 👀
Definitely want to look at all the pictures at the end of the shorts combined
Also, no spoilers- but idk if you knew but the journey pages are actually readable (atleats some of them are)- idk if you knew that- but whenever dipper opens the pages of the journal it's fun to always pause and read the page - some really good fun Easter eggs and interesting stuff!! ;)
I never thought to do that actually. Good tip!
@@MikeyVenture yeah! Some are just a bunch of scribbles but some are actual text!! You can go back and read some if you can! One I know for sure that has text is bills page 😳😳 it's all scratched out but you can def read what's under it!
Never thought I was early. And never even thought u would react to shorts. It was so good
These were very enjoyable!
Maybe Hide-Behind look like Groot but in actual legends it stalks and DEVOURS anyone who lost in forest.
do all of em pls, if you can. They are all fun!
Fixin it with soos is good
Thx for the reaction
The time has come.... the time has come.... the time has come...
The time has come
THE TIME HAS COME, BROTHER!
22:05 literally today's NFTs
In season 2, we do get the answer for Stan’s tattoo.
This is good news!
why do you feel the need to tell him this
The Tooth gave me chills for life!😨🦷
you gained a new sub !
Are you telling me Mabel invented NFTs?
mabel made NFTs
12:32 notice how he leaves the camera and walks away he also doesnt follow Mabel.. someone said that he did this on purpose to catch it on camera but who knows
Mable made NFTs 😂
The tattoo, It’s a burn mark…
They released these shorts to keep fans interested in season 2 that was released two years after the first season.
love ur channel
Thank you so much!
Wait- did Mabel just create the first NFT?!
It seems like she may have 😂
What did you think about the other shorts that you couldn’t show here? Assuming you’ve seen them
I was actually planning to watch them today. It’s been a long week 😂
22:07alex predicted nfts too???
Are you gonna react to "Fix'n it with Soos" and "Mabel's Scrapebook"? They are the other shorts that came out between 1 and 2.
I plan to after the season 2 finale!
Can you react to Fixing It with Soos?
I’m doing the other half after I’m done with season 2
.
