So I agree that Melissa should choose better, less creepy partners and she should be pissed at them. However, at 14-16 Spencer, especially given her IQ, is more than old enough to know better than to kiss her sister’s partners. It’s not unreasonable to also blame Spencer because Spencer definitely aims to attract her Melissa’s partners
@@LorieLynnnot to mention she later dates caleb. and while both are wrong spencer has a history for stealing exes & considering caleb didn’t groom her like the rest. it’s no excuse, she’s truly not a girls girl lol

Her father will be Byron, her childhood friend will be Holden, her love interest will be a Fitzgerald. We will do nothing remotely similar for any of the other characters.”
Damn I never even noticed that before. I love it when movies and TV shows try to give something sophistication and authenticity by just - naming characters after famous people or saying their story is inspired by a classic. Like if you're gonna use it ya gotta earn it. 😂

my favorite thing about toby is that he spent the basically whole first season just being a nice person and the show’s framing of it was “what a suspicious weirdo”
I feel the same way about Jason. As far as I remember he actually never did anything bad. He was a normal older brother and quite helpful but the four living girl-bosses acted like he was dropping bodies left and right.

He also admits to being on drugs for years, not that it is an excuse for creating the NAT club. Although the trauma caused by being gaslit by your parents into thinking your "brother" is your imaginary friend probably didn't help his decision-making ability. But he's the only one from the NAT club that changes and actively tries to help people. He helps at-risk youth and is rather "honest" when the liars question him.

on september 17 2022 I started watching this video, I knew absolitely nothing about PLL. I got like half an hour in and I thought "mh, you know what? this show seems kinda cool, I could watch it" so I paused it and I asked my gf who used to be a big PLL fan when it first came out if she wanted to rewatch it together. Today, a WHOLE YEAR LATER, we watched the last episode. It took us ONE YEAR to get through the absolute madness this show is. And here I am now, 12 months and a whole lot of nonsense later, finally finishing this video.
also the LENGTHS the show runners went to gaslighting us that Ezria wasn’t the creepiest predatory relationship- in the episode where they tell arias parents the fact that she’s a minor is mentioned ONCE and the fact that she’s young seems to only be important in that ezra is older so should have known better/stopped the student teacher relationship. AS IF THE CORE OF THE ISSUE IS THE STUDENT/TEACHER THING!! like when ezra gets a job at hollis him and aria are like Finally We Can Be A Couple In Public… babe. she’s 17. you are a felon.

I'm here again for atleast the third time😂 I've never actually watched the show but my best friend was obsessed as teens and this is such a fun way to kind of understand it.
can we talk about how emily went through the worst shit like she almost died 20 times she could not catch a break and none of the other girls went through half of it 😭😭
fr and her house literally got crashed into and she injured her shoulder and lost her entire future college and career 😭 AND A literally gives her a hole in her stomach from giving her steroid cream!!!
i meeean, hanna did kinda go through it too she almost died in s1, got her ed intentionally triggered, was even tortured in the last season etc the one who had it the easiest was aria for sure
@@user-ff5er2jb7g no ur so right i wrote this when i was still on s1 lmao. hanna is my fav i felt so bad for her she didn't deserve that and lowk aria got on my nerves
The funniest thing about all of this is that this info skates right off my brain, so I can watch these videos on loop back-to-back-to-back and *still* could not tell you a damn thing that happens on this show.
The way blondes loved crusty yellow tops and dresses in the early 2010s is unmatchable. You’re blonde? Prom dress? Yellow. Going to the beach? Yellow tank top. Going to a house party? Here’s a yellow baby doll top from hollister. Match your hair to your shirt because we didn’t have the knowledge of toner shampoos and the concept of being a dimensional blonde. You were weather chestnut brunette, or yellow blonde. No other options.
No bc I always think of Kate Hudson in How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days, that yellow dress was iconic (and she actually pulled it off), but matched her hair for sure
i was also in the trenches re: Aria is A. There was SOOO much that pointed to her. Tweets from Marlene, hints in her outfits, the "Big A" thing. The way she wrote the A in Aria on the halloween train! And i think they thought they were being sly but everyone figured it out so they had to change it hence some of the plot holes. thats my humble opinion.
I agree but they didn’t *have* to change it, changing an ending because you need the shock factor is a sign of weakness. If your story is strong it doesn’t matter if people have guessed it
I think Ezra should have been A. Making him the big bad would have been the funnest way to teach all those teenager shippers that teacher-student relationships are actually super creepy.
@@moltennoodle bestie....he was never A. he was just spying on the girls for to get info for a book - he wasn't threatening them. he was never a member of the A team.
The slow fade to the photo of Alison wearing the iconic Lady Gaga wig immediately followed by "Mona has escaped Radley by literally walking out the front door" has me screaming and in tears. This entire video is art.
I was watching this while having dinner, accidentally spilled my drink and scrolled from you describing the pilot to you suddenly wandering around in a blonde wig wearing a pink hoodie and honestly I’ve never been more hooked
As someone who has unfortunately read the majority of the Pretty Little Liars books, I feel it is crucial to stress that the events of the pilot episode take up almost the ENTIRE first book.
Literally lmao they flew through that first book. But also to be fair, if you read them online, the books are super short. Idk what printing magic they used to make the physical books bigger, but the free ebook version has like 35 long pages of text each and is the entire book.
Fr he kissed Aria and he knew she was like 17 . He continued to date her when he knew she wasn't 18. He Could have went to jail and I think he tried to kill one of them,when he was A .
@@dryskinqueen fortunately I never experienced that, however this show is the reason why I got into the whole lolita tumblr thing and totally romanticized this type of relationship… I’m an adult now and realize how fucked up that was for me to think that. Edit: I mean how fucked up it was for this show to portray it as okay

While following the "Emily going to Texas" plot, I noticed that at the end of one episode the realtor is giving A (I think it's implied it's them, with the gloves and everything) a tour of Emily's house (while A is erasing everything from her laptop) BUT, once you know who A is, it doesn't make any sense
"This will become a plot hole later, feel free to remember that." The way some shows have little plot holes or continuity errors but PLL hit the GAS honestly is just more iconic.
You know if I was Melissa I’d be less like “omg my sister is a skank” and more like “why are all my boyfriends into grooming my younger sister and her young friends”
god i hated melissa. i hated melissa so much that it's bled into me hating the actress (but the actress always tends to play similarly terrible characters so like, am i wrong for that?)
i have watched this entire series multiple times. to go to sleep, when i’m cleaning, when i’m cooking, for some reason these videos come up in my recomendad and nothing else compares
Your line "Ezra Fitz is not seeing heaven, and I'll make sure of it." absolutely changed my life, picturing you skulking in the bushes outside the pearly gates with a tranquilizer dart and a net or something.
on my like 7th watch through i made a quotebook- inspired by a comment i saw - 17:19 “this may as well be called ‘the day alison wore a yellow top’. the amount of scenes that sasha-the actress- has to wear a yellow top, i know she was screaming and crying. ‘let me wear one other item of clothing marlene’. *wheeze* - 20:16 “that level of threat of menace…menecicity…menecicinization-“ - 23:00 “there’s a blind girl who’s THANOS” - 25:07 “ezra fitz is not seeing heaven-and i’ll make sure of it” - 35:15 “season one, pam fields actually invented homophobia” - 41:29 “jenna and that fucking flute-jenna actually invented the flute.” - 44:29 “caleb skips town to get on the homeless bus” - 50:15 “pll costume department-not seeing heaven” - 57:26 “also in season 2 jason is shirtless like 80% of the time. someone please buy jason a shirt he has run out” - 1:08:15 “mike punches ezra. very fun, maybe i’m a mike stan now” - 1:10:14 “holden goes to do fucking martial arts…this show has too many episodes” - 1:11:46 “‘call off your techno-boy-toy or i tell the cops what your mom keeps in the lasagna box’…best moment of my life” - 1:40:59 “we meet ezra’s mother diane who hates aria because she’s underage and poor. get her ass diane!” - 1:43:47 “mona has escaped radley by literally walking out the front door” - 1:46:42 “emily demolishes the runway in this barbarella slay…actually hannah really did too…and let’s be real, spencer ate too…and aria-was there”
the amount of times aria would STRUT into ezras classroom in season 1 and FLIRT with him in PUBLIC and then had to nerve to be shocked once people started finding out ???
The one time that season where she calls him Ezra while being his assistant director for the play !!! Like the other student had to be thinking why are you on a first name basis with him??
Something I always found HILARIOUS was how the show tried to make out Aria’s parents for being villains bc they didn’t approve of their daughter being involved with her teacher 😭
I can not explain how unhinged this feels. Like I feel like I met you at a party and you were like “hey wanna hear about my pretty little liars theories?” And I was like ok and then you dragged me in this room and locked me in for 2 hours to give me the most frantic explanation I I’ve ever heard. I’m very invested though
I have never seen of video of Mike's before and I'm not more than 5 minutes into the video and am living for this man's personality. And gurl, I have a feeling you are right on the money and am sooooo excited!!! ;alskdfoquwrhg/lknsdvoiq update: That was some of the absolute best chaos I've sat thru. I scrolled down to like the video so many times, just to see that I'd already liked it lol
I've literally watched this recap series 7 times in total and still want to keep watching. Phenomenal recap. I was able to have a conversation with people who actually WATCHED the show and they were shocked I hadn't seen it.
1:24:03 Mona mentions in s2 that she and Hanna were friends in junior high ("I made my boyfriend kiss my friend from junior high"), and in s7, she gifts Hanna a scrapbook that they made together before Ali's disappearance. So I guess the implication is that they were friends, and then Ali recruited Hanna into her clique, and that's where Mona's jealousy over Hanna stems from I also don't think jealousy over Hanna was her main reason for being A, I think it was more of a side bonus (since iirc in a later season she apologizes to the Liars for taking her Ali anger out on them)
That’s what I’m saying, it’s so annoying. Have you all not learned anything from the billion other times you were wrong about who A or the killer is 🙄😂
I mean, they were wrong in assuming A was one person so the first time they were wrong was at least reasonable - even if the degree of stalking made that clearly questionable. Chalk it up to nerves. As soon as they got that realization it was stupid. But tbh the only logical way A could have known everything is if one of the core group was A. Even the actresses who played them were sure one of them was A. It was changed because the fan base hit it on the nose, but Marlene got offended they guessed it and went out of her way to make an unguessable plot twist that ruined the whole show.
Smiley Riley She openly admitted that she rewrote the ending of the show to one of the other fan theories just because people had guessed who A was. Really upsetting it threw off the whole show
The way I say "Felon! Felon! Felon! Jail! Prison!" on a daily basis and people laugh, unbeknownst to them that this is my source material and most watched video on TH-cam dot come after Mike's Mic rearranges the alphabet. Sorry we're not on the same level babe but you're welcome for the laughs
Incredible that Allison somehow managed to interact with literally everyone she knows within a 20 mile radius on the day she “died”. Like I’d need to disappear for a few years just to recover from all that too ngl
I think in the books/shows it says something about Toby’s hobby is collecting fireworks…so when Alison throws the stink bomb in the garage she accidentally sets off the fireworks he has in there blinding Jenna
I just finished rewatching all 7 seasons and I'd definitely say watch it. It is such a wild ride! The writing is all over the place and there are SO MANY plotholes. But it is a genuinely entertaining show.

@@rachelconsoli8428 yup when ally was freshly 15 it’s gross and I can’t believe arias parents were ok with it they should have sent him straight to prison

Literlly😭 these videos own me
I CAME HERE TO SAY THIS.
Just found it for the first time. So I’ll be rewatching it in 2 years and you’ll be on your 4th :)
I'm here again for atleast the third time😂 I've never actually watched the show but my best friend was obsessed as teens and this is such a fun way to kind of understand it.
this is a masters degree thesis and you passed
Now he has two master's degrees
Definitely understood the assignment
best comment
Literally tho wtf this must have required absolute HOURS of work
Levi!!
this is my new favorite video to ever exist
omg wait i love your channel
I was gonna say the same😳
Already rewatching lol. Might be in the monthly comfort rotation from now on
i love that basicgorl,plumbella, mikes mic, casey asono(?), and stephosims all watch each other best crossover ever
Ooh legends watching legends 🥂
can we talk about how emily went through the worst shit like she almost died 20 times she could not catch a break and none of the other girls went through half of it 😭😭
fr and her house literally got crashed into and she injured her shoulder and lost her entire future college and career 😭 AND A literally gives her a hole in her stomach from giving her steroid cream!!!
@@Boyagony and her first girlfriend was murdered😭 she really went thru it
i meeean, hanna did kinda go through it too
she almost died in s1, got her ed intentionally triggered, was even tortured in the last season etc
the one who had it the easiest was aria for sure
@@user-ff5er2jb7g no ur so right i wrote this when i was still on s1 lmao. hanna is my fav i felt so bad for her she didn't deserve that and lowk aria got on my nerves
She was so miserable and depressed and stressed the whole show, it used to stress me out every time she had screen time
*"...and Aria... was there."* this pretty much sums up her character after season 1😂
“pam invented homophobia, jenna invented the flute” I SHOULD NOT BE LAUGHING AS MUCH AS I AM AT THAT
"jenna can't hear us, she's blind" must be the BEST line on the show
That still shatters my collarbones
we need more quotes in the next video!!!!!!
i took a moment to go look up the clip of kim kardashian asking a deaf person for directions ... same energies
And after the slap “ this is Hannah” 🤣
IK totally is
all i got from this was that pam invented homophobia and jenna invented the flute. 10/10 review thank you so much!!
babe it's time for the annual MMCU (Mike's Mic Cinematic Universe) rewatch
Honestly these girl bosses just need to stop having sleepovers in Spencer’s barn
so true
Why tf do the Hastings even have a barn?
@@sftbagels2816 HELP
i love that the phrase “minimizes her slay” could mean anything from a breakup to literal murder and it would track either way
I would like this but it's at 420 and I refuse to ruin it ak heres my like 👍
The funniest thing about all of this is that this info skates right off my brain, so I can watch these videos on loop back-to-back-to-back and *still* could not tell you a damn thing that happens on this show.
the way "menace of the century" has seamlessly integrated itself into my vocabulary
evolution of “stupid yellow blouse” to “crusty yellow top” is unmatched
that crusty yellow top hunts my nightmares the “ik you wanna kiss me” like stop 😭😫
The fact that Allison is dead for so long and is still the main character is honestly a slay
So true, bestie!
True! She needed 3 seasons to get out of the flashbacks and out of that yellow top.
It's immortality my darlingsss
@@berenice2710 I was just gonna say that lmao
yet when she comes back she gets sidelined for a while
If I could buy a DVD version of this recap series I would I’m so serious. I’ve watched it over like 10 times.
I’m sure you could download the video and figure out how to burn it onto a DVD
@@amarabertelson9106 burn? or transfer ?
Iconic how this is 2,5 years old and people still watch and leave comments almost every day...
Just shows how hurt we all still are by Marlene.
“Pam invented homophobia, Jenna invented the flute.” I’m dead lmao 💀
The string management is honestly under appreciated
It's really really pretty😩 the lines are so neat
He’s an engineer after all!!
I'm kind of excited to see just how messy and complex it's gonna get tbh
Just found this channel, his Master’s is in engineering?! 😩
The way blondes loved crusty yellow tops and dresses in the early 2010s is unmatchable. You’re blonde? Prom dress? Yellow. Going to the beach? Yellow tank top. Going to a house party? Here’s a yellow baby doll top from hollister. Match your hair to your shirt because we didn’t have the knowledge of toner shampoos and the concept of being a dimensional blonde. You were weather chestnut brunette, or yellow blonde. No other options.
That was my older sister when she was in high school, she had bleach blonde hair and wore a bright yellow dress to prom!
Ahhh the 2010's it was such a different time
No bc I always think of Kate Hudson in How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days, that yellow dress was iconic (and she actually pulled it off), but matched her hair for sure
Actually the most realistic part of the series is Mike playing lacrosse, it’s like an integral part of life in Delaware County (where Rosewood is set)
Lacrosse is definitely the trust fund sport of choice
omg yes pa loves lacrosse
“The way Sasha was in the trenches with these crusty wigs.” I cackled!!!
Allison was literally a tween who had an entire town under her thumb, actually adults were hating on this baby I love her.
yeah but then she flopped after season 5
@@taylorswiftmidnight she only flopped cause she got fat
in the books, she was literally 12/13 years old when she went missing. her impact
@@karman8229 ah yes because the actress having polycystic ovary syndrome is a flop...don't blame sasha for the writers screwing up the character
@@karman8229 wow you really are just the worst
i was also in the trenches re: Aria is A. There was SOOO much that pointed to her. Tweets from Marlene, hints in her outfits, the "Big A" thing. The way she wrote the A in Aria on the halloween train! And i think they thought they were being sly but everyone figured it out so they had to change it hence some of the plot holes. thats my humble opinion.
I agree but they didn’t *have* to change it, changing an ending because you need the shock factor is a sign of weakness. If your story is strong it doesn’t matter if people have guessed it
This show was 90% plot holes and still had us all in a chokehold
I think Ezra should have been A. Making him the big bad would have been the funnest way to teach all those teenager shippers that teacher-student relationships are actually super creepy.
YES
Wasn’t it?
@@moltennoodle bestie....he was never A. he was just spying on the girls for to get info for a book - he wasn't threatening them. he was never a member of the A team.
@@moltennoodle You didn't watch the show or the video 😅 He was never really A
same. I never saw the show, but same lmao
The slow fade to the photo of Alison wearing the iconic Lady Gaga wig immediately followed by "Mona has escaped Radley by literally walking out the front door" has me screaming and in tears. This entire video is art.
I thought my screen was fogging up 😭😭😭
truly
Me too! I was crying!😂😭😂😭
"this entire video is art (pop)"
1:43:37
I was watching this while having dinner, accidentally spilled my drink and scrolled from you describing the pilot to you suddenly wandering around in a blonde wig wearing a pink hoodie and honestly I’ve never been more hooked
"Wren is two words, British and doctor" that's so accurate
As someone who has unfortunately read the majority of the Pretty Little Liars books, I feel it is crucial to stress that the events of the pilot episode take up almost the ENTIRE first book.
ABSOLUTELY. After he said "and that's just the pilot episode" i was like "tha-thats the first book". AND THERES SEVEN SEASONS
Bea TM my god I just found out that there's 7 seasons. I thought there were only 6
Literally lmao they flew through that first book. But also to be fair, if you read them online, the books are super short. Idk what printing magic they used to make the physical books bigger, but the free ebook version has like 35 long pages of text each and is the entire book.
@@nmoomoo i guarantee you’ll regret watching it lol seems like they really had nothing else to invent at that point
YUP
“ezra fitz is not seeing heaven and i’ll make sure of it” took me out , thank u for that amazing line
He was a literal walking red flag
Fr he kissed Aria and he knew she was like 17 . He continued to date her when he knew she wasn't 18. He Could have went to jail and I think he tried to kill one of them,when he was A .
he’s the reason i dated an absolute piece of human shit that was 22 when i was 15. i thought it was ok
@@dryskinqueen fortunately I never experienced that, however this show is the reason why I got into the whole lolita tumblr thing and totally romanticized this type of relationship… I’m an adult now and realize how fucked up that was for me to think that. Edit: I mean how fucked up it was for this show to portray it as okay
@@dryskinqueen so sorry you went through that... that 22 yr old is a pos 🤮

SEASON TWO
it’s concerning to me that i know what all of these mean
While following the "Emily going to Texas" plot, I noticed that at the end of one episode the realtor is giving A (I think it's implied it's them, with the gloves and everything) a tour of Emily's house (while A is erasing everything from her laptop) BUT, once you know who A is, it doesn't make any sense
"This will become a plot hole later, feel free to remember that." The way some shows have little plot holes or continuity errors but PLL hit the GAS honestly is just more iconic.
I'm 30 - is it too late for me to become a continuity editor and make sure other shows don't do this?
It's literally a feature of PLL. It wouldn't be the same without all the holes.
Literally cause we still ate it up and were breaking our backs trying to make it make sense 😂😂
"Emily demolished the runway. Actually, Hannah really did too. Let's be real, Spencer ate too. And Aria.........was there."
2 years later and I still watch these TH-cam videos from start to finish like they’ve just been uploaded for the first time🥹
No way it’s been two years since you made this I remember the day it came out like it was like yesterday 😭😭😭
You know if I was Melissa I’d be less like “omg my sister is a skank” and more like “why are all my boyfriends into grooming my younger sister and her young friends”
LITERALLY. Always made me so mad
Seriously! If anyone I was dating started doing things with my underaged sibling, I would be planning that person's murder.
god i hated melissa. i hated melissa so much that it's bled into me hating the actress (but the actress always tends to play similarly terrible characters so like, am i wrong for that?)
@@carleeelizabeth yeah I think the only thing I've seen her in that she's nice in is vampire diaries
🤷🏾♀️💯
The way I burst into laughter at “spencer has a flashback of Alison calling Hannah, let me check my notes… a fat loser.”
PLS I DIE EVERYTIME 😭
time stamp ?? 😭😭
@@mariaantoniaaaa 30:10
That and mentioning that Jenna has an seeing eye dog named shadow whose adorable…. and we never see shadow again 😂😂
i have watched this entire series multiple times. to go to sleep, when i’m cleaning, when i’m cooking, for some reason these videos come up in my recomendad and nothing else compares
I really think this whole thing, the whole series, deserves to be put in the museum.
Your line "Ezra Fitz is not seeing heaven, and I'll make sure of it." absolutely changed my life, picturing you skulking in the bushes outside the pearly gates with a tranquilizer dart and a net or something.
'You have to let me in - I have a PhD in American literature!' 😂🙄
As he should
this feels like when you havent seen a friend in a long time and they have to speedrun their gossip. i love this so much
OMG Accurate
on my like 7th watch through i made a quotebook- inspired by a comment i saw
- 17:19 “this may as well be called ‘the day alison wore a yellow top’. the amount of scenes that sasha-the actress- has to wear a yellow top, i know she was screaming and crying. ‘let me wear one other item of clothing marlene’. *wheeze*
- 20:16 “that level of threat of menace…menecicity…menecicinization-“
- 23:00 “there’s a blind girl who’s THANOS”
- 25:07 “ezra fitz is not seeing heaven-and i’ll make sure of it”
- 35:15 “season one, pam fields actually invented homophobia”
- 41:29 “jenna and that fucking flute-jenna actually invented the flute.”
- 44:29 “caleb skips town to get on the homeless bus”
- 50:15 “pll costume department-not seeing heaven”
- 57:26 “also in season 2 jason is shirtless like 80% of the time. someone please buy jason a shirt he has run out”
- 1:08:15 “mike punches ezra. very fun, maybe i’m a mike stan now”
- 1:10:14 “holden goes to do fucking martial arts…this show has too many episodes”
- 1:11:46 “‘call off your techno-boy-toy or i tell the cops what your mom keeps in the lasagna box’…best moment of my life”
- 1:40:59 “we meet ezra’s mother diane who hates aria because she’s underage and poor. get her ass diane!”
- 1:43:47 “mona has escaped radley by literally walking out the front door”
- 1:46:42 “emily demolishes the runway in this barbarella slay…actually hannah really did too…and let’s be real, spencer ate too…and aria-was there”
“And she hates aria cuz she’s underage and poor” STOP I can’t 😭🤣
the amount of times aria would STRUT into ezras classroom in season 1 and FLIRT with him in PUBLIC and then had to nerve to be shocked once people started finding out ???
The one time that season where she calls him Ezra while being his assistant director for the play !!! Like the other student had to be thinking why are you on a first name basis with him??
My crazy ass would have been GAGGED hearing that. Back in hs my friends and i would write PAGES of emails abt the most inocuous things.
@@rebeccanaterb
i hate aria with a BURNING passion it isnt even funny
@@ot5rihannaShe is so much better and worse in the books it's honestly insane.
Something I always found HILARIOUS was how the show tried to make out Aria’s parents for being villains bc they didn’t approve of their daughter being involved with her teacher 😭
Ikrrrrrr it was WILD..
I'm sorry WHAT!
And we all AGREED that they were villains. It's like a fever dream
When I was younger I was convinced they were in love now I'm like that's a full catch a predator
@@liudmylaberezovska1574 EXACTLY HOW DID THEY ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN
“A is absolutely eating the girls up in season 1” is so valid 😂
The power you wield. You and Jenny brought forth an era. A genre. You have a Legacy babe!!!!!
"Jenna has a seeing eye dog named Shadow. You'll never see Shadow again." The highlight of the video for me
Dogs have a habit of disappearing in this show
Dogs are plot bandaids in this show lol
"you'll never see shadow again"
Well at least I got to see him once, unlike Jenna.
I was looking for a comment about shadow. Did not disappoint.
@@francescapatti2934 underrated comment
I can not explain how unhinged this feels. Like I feel like I met you at a party and you were like “hey wanna hear about my pretty little liars theories?” And I was like ok and then you dragged me in this room and locked me in for 2 hours to give me the most frantic explanation I I’ve ever heard. I’m very invested though
THATS EXACTLY IT
This is the VIBE!!!!
he just released part 3 so be ready to be locked in for another 2 hours😩✌️
I have never seen of video of Mike's before and I'm not more than 5 minutes into the video and am living for this man's personality. And gurl, I have a feeling you are right on the money and am sooooo excited!!! ;alskdfoquwrhg/lknsdvoiq
update: That was some of the absolute best chaos I've sat thru. I scrolled down to like the video so many times, just to see that I'd already liked it lol
why is this so accurate
me coming back to watch this every few months is part of my personality
“Season one Pam Fields actually invented homophobia” always makes me giggle 🤣
I feel like I'm tied to a chair and you're forcibly explaining Pretty Little Liars to me. Great energy
Accurate
Accurate and excellent
LMAO
It’s the stick
Lmaooo
watching this feels like sitting on your best friend's bed at a sleepover at 2am while they explain the entire plot of yaasified war and peace
and they’re going super into detail cause the test is the next day and they want u to at least pass
yes except their explaining the industrial revolutions cause your gonna fail the text tomorrow if you don't listen to them
Has yassification gone too far? No
omg i read sitting as shiting I was SO confused for a second😭
I've literally watched this recap series 7 times in total and still want to keep watching. Phenomenal recap. I was able to have a conversation with people who actually WATCHED the show and they were shocked I hadn't seen it.
1:24:03 Mona mentions in s2 that she and Hanna were friends in junior high ("I made my boyfriend kiss my friend from junior high"), and in s7, she gifts Hanna a scrapbook that they made together before Ali's disappearance. So I guess the implication is that they were friends, and then Ali recruited Hanna into her clique, and that's where Mona's jealousy over Hanna stems from
I also don't think jealousy over Hanna was her main reason for being A, I think it was more of a side bonus (since iirc in a later season she apologizes to the Liars for taking her Ali anger out on them)
what kills me about this is just how confident the girls were everytime they thought someone was A and they were always wrong.😭💀😂
That’s what I’m saying, it’s so annoying. Have you all not learned anything from the billion other times you were wrong about who A or the killer is 🙄😂
I cant even blame them considering marlene herself probably didnt even decide who A was until maybe the last season 😭😭
@@cal0ri321 (spoiler) Exactly, though it is funny to imagine her going in wanting it to be Spencer's evil twin
I mean, they were wrong in assuming A was one person so the first time they were wrong was at least reasonable - even if the degree of stalking made that clearly questionable. Chalk it up to nerves. As soon as they got that realization it was stupid. But tbh the only logical way A could have known everything is if one of the core group was A. Even the actresses who played them were sure one of them was A. It was changed because the fan base hit it on the nose, but Marlene got offended they guessed it and went out of her way to make an unguessable plot twist that ruined the whole show.
Smiley Riley She openly admitted that she rewrote the ending of the show to one of the other fan theories just because people had guessed who A was. Really upsetting it threw off the whole show
I appreciate the categorization of everyone in this show into "crusty", "girlboss", "slay", and "menace".
don't forget "felon"
And we’re all “fighting for our lives in the trenches” 😂😂
Don’t forget messy lmao
@@chel.......................... I think felon kind of implies crusty, so idk
If everyone drinks every time these words are uttered, we y'all be waisted! 🍸🍸🍸
I love watching videos like this without having literally ANY knowledge of the series beforehand. It's unhinged in the best ways haha
The way I say "Felon! Felon! Felon! Jail! Prison!" on a daily basis and people laugh, unbeknownst to them that this is my source material and most watched video on TH-cam dot come after Mike's Mic rearranges the alphabet. Sorry we're not on the same level babe but you're welcome for the laughs

Incredible that Allison somehow managed to interact with literally everyone she knows within a 20 mile radius on the day she “died”. Like I’d need to disappear for a few years just to recover from all that too ngl
And she did disappeared for a few years.
She was out in the trenches that day
I love how the one thing everyone notes is how much social interaction she had
I’m late but like sammme that’s to many people
My introverted ass could never.
I need a week to recover from ONE social interaction.😮💨
I think in the books/shows it says something about Toby’s hobby is collecting fireworks…so when Alison throws the stink bomb in the garage she accidentally sets off the fireworks he has in there blinding Jenna
maybe the real A was the friends we made along the way
I'm torn between "I don't have to watch the show now" and "god I have to watch this disaster happen with my own two eyes"
WATCH ITT!!!! it’s so interesting
I just finished rewatching all 7 seasons and I'd definitely say watch it. It is such a wild ride! The writing is all over the place and there are SO MANY plotholes. But it is a genuinely entertaining show.
@@alias1150 reading this comment is not helping im so tempted to do it now!!
I watched the first 3 seasons as they came out then stopped. Now I’m doing a complete rewatch😂😂
listen ....... u need to do urself the favor of watching it at least once
it's such a journey esp if u get high lmao
The fact that Allison was collecting enemies like pokemon, she really was a MENACE
It would have been iconic if she remained this mythical villain. Instead they gave her a forced redemption arc
