For everyone confused about Chucky being LGBTQ, in the series canon Chucky is mostly represented as straight, but he is vocally open about sexuality, and fully accepting of his nonbinary child. In the first season of the TV series, he's "picked up" by a gay protagonist, who Chucky helps come to terms with (and accept) his identity in a surprisingly compassionate way... while killing everyone around him, because he's still Chucky.
Don Mancini, the creator of Chucky and the main creative voice responsible for every entry to date (besides the remake from a few years ago) is also a gay man.
diversity win! the derranged killer doll is an ally 💕
Thank you for the explanation. I couldn't watch Chucky because dolls are terrifying.
is that in the books?
@@cumincalamity9867 The nonbinary child is from the movie Seed of Chucky (direct-to-streaming IIRC), and the gay protag that he helps out is from the first season of the new series.
seeing people not knowing that the Chucky series is full of lgbt representation made me genuinely confused for a second, then i remembered i'm a lesbian, ofc i know there's a queer chucky series where chucky kills homophobes and has a nb child
As an old straight horror fan I'm confused how people don't know that Don Mancini is gay and Chucky had that nb child 3 movies prior to the tv series. 😂
and it's all canon. I love seeing an artist continue to make stuff in the same universe. Actors from the movies come back. i LOVE that series.
@@arch1ve definitely part of why I love that franchise. Mancini never just pretends something didn't happen.
same i was confused too cuz i was like the chucky franchise has been insanely queer forever, i mean seed of chucky is right there, and the tv show literally stars a gay couple like why are we questioning chucky's queer icon status, he's an ally lmao
I love when chucky explains that he might kill people but he's not a monster. When explaining his kids non binary status
we need the "oooh she's reading." as a gif
Drinking game: binge After Midnight and take a shot every time a comedian makes a reference to that “my neck, my back” song
So far, you'd have taken one shot every six weeks, but I see your point.
it's in every episode I swear 😂
@@Blissfulbizzit was in the last one and maybe another one
it's a bop lol
Oh my god, that dancing dog is horrifying 😮
Nightmare fuel
nah, just looks like a dude in a suit
Franchesca's Cher is slightly behind Nico Santos but definitely better than Billy Eichner's
thank you, that was a reference to four months ago
Taylor's fit is 👌
Honestly, when is it not? Her wardrobe is top class
Taylor is fit. There I fixed the order
Yo NGL, Steve Harvey lookin good in those jeans.
I love CBS and Big Screen. Please don't take me in the first batch.
The outfit is so cute today!
Timothy is just channeling Jonah there at the beginning
CBS? You mean the critically aclaimed network that gives us Elsbeth and So Help Me Todd?? Love it.
So Help Me Todd got cancelled. 😫
@@thewatchfemme4051 the great and powerful CBS made the right decision.
IT’S PRIDE MONTH! they need to have trixie and katya on together
(i hate when my pfp is meta
thank you for putting John's full name in the description. I knew he looked familiar, just couldn't place what I'd seen him in 😊
So Tim was basically just playing himself on Veep. Love that 😂
#TaylorTomlinson #AfterMidnight #Comedy I'm again liking and welcoming #TaylorTomlinson's monologue before the show! She has a great interaction with the audience! Thank you #TaylorTomlinson #AfterMidnight for continuing to do it! And #TaylorTomlinson, I've also never seen a "Chucky" movie!
Ooh I love Taylor's outfit
A "normal" can of peanuts, huh? I would argue that peanuts in cans are never normal, because why would you buy a can of peanuts?
Kripke!
Thats Bawwy Kwipke! :D
What kind of bet did Timothy lose to get that haircut?
😂 my thoughts exactly
He didn't move the mirror to the side a little, just looked at the front.
He probably cut it himself, lol.
I organized a work retreat for 12 people in the only lodge of a small village (its population reaches a few thousand people in the summer) because that is where my partner's family had a summer house. I had 81 cities to choose from in a country with a population of over 90 million.
Some of us didn't know about Chucky because we never watch horror.
Yep, I've heard of Chucky, but I've never seen any of the Chucky movies. I wouldn't say I never watch horror, though, but it is one of my least favorite genres. And the concept of Chucky just sounds idiotic to me.
I can honestly say that I've never pretended to like something for a crush (or anyone else for that matter). The closest I will get to that is agreeing to try something that I know I won't like. For example, I tried playing Minecraft with my ex-gf ONCE, but I was VERY vocal about how much I hated it.
Pretty sure she dodged a bullet with you
@@jamesyoungquist6923 No, lol, I dodged a bullet with HER. YOU do NOT know what you are talking about!
I agree with the dog stuff, keeping it real 😂
jokes on you, child. I WANT the world to see me drop it low
from 10:45 the buildups are great. 3 great actors delivering.
So, instead of acting, Jonah kinda just played himself.😏 Honestly, though, Veep is one of the funniest damn shows I've ever watched. The writing was top notch and the insults thrown around were f--king brutally crafted. Their delivery by every member of that amazing cast made them land so hard, the earth's crust cracked a little every time. So, so, sooooooo good.🏆
lmao the canva thing reminds me of the era where all the white business guys were like 'our thing needs a rap' and it was the most obviously your-white-uncle-made-this stuff ever
Franchesca❤❤❤
Taylor in denim with those power hips❤
Francheska is 110% correct 😂
They would be excited about that
I haven't done it, but this is what you do if someone gave me a fake can of peanuts.
Study the top, as if you don't know how to open it. When you find out how to open it, do it so it's facing the person, and open the side facing him. (A good idea would be if it was aimed directly at his...)
Weird to hear John pronounce his “r”s.
I didn't even realize who he was on TBBT (which I used to watch, shame on me) until this comment.
I’d really like to see a Chucky movie where he leans into his queer side more 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️ #MakeChuckyGayAgain 🥲
Yeah cause it isn't happening enough as it is
@@neilold7291 Tbh I couldn’t tell you if it is bc I’ve only seen one chucky movie and I was hiding under a blanket for most of it 😂 not a horror/gore fan
She said Cher, not Klingon
Absolutely best intro yet 🏆
NFN, that rap was kinda dope.
LET'S GOOOO FRANCHESCA RAMSEYYYYY
Every time I watch one of these videos I think “how many of these amazing holes did Blaine Capatch write?”
Best outfit yet
I don't like most scary movies but Chucky is the shit. Taylor should watch Child's Play at least the first one , no movie though has made me horrified than when I was a kid seeing Silent Night Deadly Night, or even Friday the 13th movies.
That rap reminds me of Lin-Manuel Miranda's work
Hopefully not his work on The Little Mermaid
JEANS
I am all for Chucki is coming out. I just wonder if his bride knows about it
She's a Tilly, she already knows and she's fine with it
The Chucky and bride of Chucky monster high skullector dolls are sapphic nb lesbian icons
Trying to pull a Babadook with Chucky
CBS is the home of Thursday night football.
I have never seen any of the Chucky movies, where have I been ? While any ways if I am not mistaken was there not a Bride of Chucky film ? So maybe he switched teams later, after a bad marriage. Not sure.
Chucky himself is straight, but his kid is nonbinary and there's generally a ton of queer representation in the franchise (especially in the tv show, which specifically includes him murdering people over their homophobic behavior toward the human lead). Also the creator of the franchise is a gay man
@@baronvonyossi681 thanks I did not know about the TV show or the creator
there are Chucky BOOKS????TF?????
Chucky is a pumpkin headed, vessel shifting demon worshipper. Sarah Sherman is just good casting.
That corp-O-rap was infinitely cringeworthy. I understood all the buzzwords in it and it's the most boring thing imaginable. "Cowboy Canva" was hilarious though, nice work!
Jeans????
Not long ago, Taylor was in a Novelty Store, because she is a fan of hilarity.
No snake 🐍? That's what Rudy Giuliani told Borat's daughter.
boo the impression
I love Taylor׳s comedy, this show is a waste of her talent.
Not for nothing, but Steve Harvey looks better with fair hair but only after he shaved his mustache.
So glad Steve got rid of that ridiculous mustache.
skip the first three minutes to get to the show.
yeah but I'd miss the monologue and I *want* some bonus Taylor
What a bizarre thing to say
Does Franchesca think she still has a Black Card?
Yes, she does. Do you know different?
This guy thinks he has a say in it. 😂
