    Rebecca
    WHAT’S A GIRL TO DO WHEN SHE’S STUCK BETWEEN MEN?
    IT’S LIKE SHE’S A BARBIE WITH TWO PERFECT KENS
    BUT WAIT, IT JUST OCCURRED TO ME
    MAYBE I CAN SOLVE THIS WITH GEOMETRY!
    YES, SMARTS CAN HELP THIS SITCHYWATION UNTANGLE
    SO PROFESSORS: TEACH ME
    THE MATH OF LOVE TRIANGLES!
    Yay! Time for book facts!
    Male Dancers
    A TRIANGLE IS A POLYGON
    WITH THREE EDGES AND THREE VERTICES
    TAKE THE BASE TIMES THE HEIGHT, CUT THAT IN HALF
    TO FIND THE AREA OF THE SURFACES
    Rebecca
    UH-UH I WASN’T REALLY LISTENING BUT I CAN SEE
    THE CENTER OF THE TRIANGLE IS LIL’ OL’ ME!
    THE MATH OF LOVE TRIANGLES
    ISN’T HARD TO LEARN.
    Male Dancers
    YOU’RE NOT TAKING IN WHAT WE’RE SAYING
    WE’RE A LITTLE BIT CONCERNED
    Rebecca
    YES, THE MATH OF LOVE TRIANGLES IS AS SIMPLE AS CAN BE!
    WHICHEVER TOM OR DICK I MIGHT PICK
    THE CENTER OF THE TRIANGLE IS LIL' OL' ME!
    Male Dancers
    ACTUALLY A TRIANGLE HAS MULTIPLE CENTERS!
    THIS TRIANGLE’S SCALENE.
    Rebecca
    THAT’S ASTUTE. SO I NEED TO DECIDE
    WHICH MAN’S MORE ACUTE!
    Male Dancers
    HERE’S PYTHAGORAS’ THEOREM...
    Rebecca
    WILL THIS HELP ME CHOOSE?
    IF NOT, I’LL BE SWINGING FROM A HYPOTENOOSE!
    Male Dancers
    LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT THIS LINE BISECTS
    Rebecca
    IS THAT SPELLED BIS-E-X?!
    Male Dancers
    THOSE ARE GOOD PUNS BUT PLEASE PAY ATTENTION-
    Rebecca
    OH NO, PROFESSORS,
    AM I FACING SUSPENSION?
    WHEE! A SWING! IT’S LITERAL SUSPENSION!
    THE MATH OF LOVE TRIANGLES
    ISN’T HARD TO LEARN
    Male Dancers
    WE’RE STARTING TO SUSPECT
    YOU DON’T SINCERELY WANT TO KNOW ABOUT TRIANGLES
    Rebecca
    YES, THE MATH OF LOVE TRIANGLES IS AS SIMPLE AS CAN BE!
    I NEED TO CHOOSE BETWEEN MEN
    BUT UNTIL THEN
    THE CENTER OF THE TRIANGLE IS LIL’ OL’ ME!
    IS THIS A TRIANGLE?
    Male Dancers
    NO, THAT’S A SHOE
    Rebecca
    IS THIS A TRIANGLE?
    Male Dancers
    NO, THAT’S YOU.
    Rebecca
    SO I’M A TRIANGLE?
    Male Dancers
    WHAT? NO.
    Rebecca
    1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 3, GO!
    Matt
    You don’t seem to know how to count!
    Scott
    We are sincerely worried about you.
    Rebecca
    CATCH ME!
    Jeff
    You’re ruining the number!
    Male Dancers
    THIS ANGLE’S RIGHT.
    Rebecca
    WHICH ANGLE’S RIGHT?
    Male Dancers
    NO, NOT RIGHT LIKE CORRECT.
    Rebecca
    OOOH, ARE YOU ERECT?!
    Male Dancers
    NO, 90 DEGREES.
    Rebecca
    THAT’S REALLY ERECT!
    THE MATH OF LOVE TRIANGLES--
    IS SUPER DUPER FUN!
    Male Dancers
    WE’RE TIRED OF ALL YOUR TANGENTS
    THAT’S ALSO A TRIANGLE PUN.
    Rebecca
    OHHHHHH
    THANKS FOR TEACHING ME MAN MATH!
    YOU ALL DESERVE A KISS!
    Male Dancers
    LADY, WE’RE ALL GAY
    WE GET NOTHING OUT OF THIS.
    Rebecca
    NEITHER MAN WILL NOTICE MY LEARNING DISABILITY

    I love that since this takes place in her head, she’d have to KNOW every single triangle fact the men bring up through out the video, but CHOOSES to portray herself as a ditz, even just in her own mind. That alone brings up an interesting detail about Season 2 Rebecca’s internalized misogyny.

    • @sheshiechan
      @sheshiechan 7 ปีที่แล้ว +506

      Dos Eggies Dos Eggies To me, it's symbolic of Rebecca's insecurities that are ever present even in her subconscious as is the choice of making the men in her fantasy gay. Essentially we're shown that Rebecca has issues of accepting reality as it is because of her insecurities but at the same time she has a difficult time accepting that someone could want to be her friend, lover etc. So what we've seen is her doing everything exaggeratedly believing that she has to in order to be accepted. What seems to happen is that this backfires which then causes Rebecca to use as "evidence" which perpetuates her issues. It's a nasty cycle. She also has the belief that she'll be happy with no more problems if she gets her fairy tale story that she's imagined in her head even though it's not true.
      It's a very conscious choice of the writers of the show.

    • @sarosaes4528
      @sarosaes4528 6 ปีที่แล้ว +167

      I think it has more to do with her insecurities and her fear (and belief) that all men in her life will eventually leave her or reject her, no matter how many men actually care for her 'irl'.

    • @rodvanburen6147
      @rodvanburen6147 6 ปีที่แล้ว +131

      Rebecca wants men she cannot have. At the time this song occurs, neither Josh not Greg is very interested in her, yet she will not listen to Dr Akopian or the polyamourous trio she had just talked to. In this song she is remaining clueless and not listening to reason as in real life. And she knows that she always ends up being rejected by these men.

  • @rodvanburen6147
    @rodvanburen6147 6 ปีที่แล้ว +687

    Watching this in context again, it occurred to me there is a reason for her playing so dumb in this song besides it being cute and funny. In real life, Rebecca's not listening to anyone, neither to the polyamourous trio she had just interviewed, nor Dr Akopian. She's oblivious to the fact that neither Josh nor Greg is offering her a relationship at this point, she is convinced she can be in a relationship with both of them, or that she needs to choose. Most importantly, she remains oblivious to what a triangle even is, seeing herself as the center. She's boy-crazy with men not even available to her, self-absorbed and clueless. That's why Rebecca acts this way in this number. 🙂

    • @jaimes6152
      @jaimes6152 5 ปีที่แล้ว +67

      It shows self-awareness; this is her fantasy, after all. She's aware of what other people are telling her, but choosing both men sounds like the "sexy, swinging" choice. Hence, icon of innocent and ignorant sexuality, Marilyon Monroe. ;)

    I like how in the original song Marilyn sings about getting some benefit out of men and using them for her own gain, but in Rebecca's re-imagination it's about a complete ditz who can't do any math. Yet at the same time Rebecca herself would go over and beyond for men who used her and didn't give her much in return. So in a way it's the Harvard-educated intellectual Rebecca making fun of "ditzy" women while actually being dumber than them in relationships
