I know the community tab poll didn’t actually vote for this but it was leading when I recorded the video lmao and then epic the musical overtook it so I’ll make sure to do that soon I’m sorryyyy
No worries mathew! I personally wanted both lol
Honestly love ur vids. Have u ever heard of evilious chronicles? It's a bunch of vocaloid songs that tell a huge story. I recommend u watch the most popular songs. Also EVERY SINGLE SONG SLAPS!
I _need_ you to experience as much of this show as possible so it’d be awesome if you continued checking it out regardless!
If you do end up watching more, I’d highly suggest out of context clips of the other two seasons as well, and as for music there’s another version of “that’s not how the story goes” that’s _actually_ near the end of the show, and the version of it without dialogue over top of it is on Jim Dooley’s (made the OST for seasons 2 & 3) TH-cam channel
Can you react to demon slayer out of context?
The opening line for the first book is “If you are interested in happy endings, you would be better off reading some other book.” And each book has a similar opening and even throughout the book there are 3rd wall breaks by the author where he directly talks to you the reader and tries to convince you to put the book down and read something else.
It’s honestly so fun. Love the book.
Mathew to Mr. Poe: I love him.
Me: no you don't. You won't.
He is so clueles
Poe not matthew
Same lol
This show is so good. Not enough people talk about it/react to it
YA 😭😭
I watched with my class in year 6/5th grade and we got to near the end of season 2 but we never finished it😢😭
@@laineygirl7410 what i shame. Did you ever get to finish it? I understand your pain😭😔
@@OMGolly101 no I don’t know where to watch it (I haven’t watched in nearly 5 years:/)
@@laineygirl7410 i remember watching it in netflix, but I don't know if it's still there
Not how the Story Goes is the finale of season 1 so there's still another 2 seasons of misery and sadness to go after :3
❤😢the ending 🤯😭💔
Yay more misery!
Wasn’t the ending pretty somewhat happy
@@yousseflataoui1583 the happiest ending they got was the very last episode. And that wasn’t even that happy! 😭
@@yousseflataoui1583bitter sweet at best i'd say
Something I really love about the series is that every 2 episodes are named with alliteration:
Bad Beginning
Reptile Room
Wide Window
Carnivorous Carnival
Incredible story
Yeah. Except for The End which always bothered me. But I see why the author named it that. (I still think Frightening Finale is better)
@@crystallotus3422 I think it works, since the whole point of the series (and especially the finale) is that everything is disappointing and that things don't tend to go the way you want - and you can't tell that immediately from the title of "The End" that it's going to be a sombre end.
ME TOO but my favorite part is how closely the show adhered to the books, it was pretty accurate, especially compared to other shows based on books. i love the show and the books so much.
this is how I'm finding out they actually finished the show?! I was so convinced they'd end early that I never bothered to watch, looks like I have something to watch here soon! I don't remember the books super well but I loved them so much growing up - you should absolutely go back and read them if you ever get the chance! Even older I feel like they'd still hold up well!
I think every title is illiteration? (Except the end ofc)
Bad beginning, reptile room, wide window, miserable mill, austere academy, erstatz elevator, vile village, hostile hospital, carnivorous carnival, slippery slope, grim grotto, penultamite peril
Fun fact: each book has their own theme with the same melody. You should react to all of them. They're so hilarious.
I seriously recommend watching the series. It’s fun. It really is.
Plus the fact that it secondhandedly teaches kids that sometimes, adults are more incompetent than them.
Let's hope Matthew is not actually Count Olaf in disguise 🥸
I don’t know we can’t see his ankle so until proven otherwise he’s not count olaf
It's the Count, it's the Count, it's the Count
"Count Olaf"... I wonder what rhymes with "Rice Pilaf"

8:33: "Does everyone just end up sad?"
Uh...
Yes, mainly.
Or dead
@@peytonranae9414 that’s why everyone else ends up sad…
"That's not how the story goes" actually isn't towards the end of the series; its in the last episode of the first season! there are two seasons after it.
Each set of episodes actually has its own version of the theme song! they're all really cool and funny, you should watch them! (also you missed the song "Keep chasing your schemes")
tysm for reacting to this, ASOUE is my entire childhood.❤
Only true A Series Of Unfortunate Events fans will remember season two, Cafe Salmonella 😂❤
BUT do they remember Herring Houdini ?
Yup 😂
the food was so good it was hard to be in jerome's mouth
"We're swimming upstream!"
Oh gosh😂😂😂😂😂
SPOILERS: The show is based on the book series of the same name and has 13 books. The kids are rich. Their parents die so their orphans now. Count Olaf comes up with schemes and disguises to get their money because the kids can’t claim it until the eldest daughter is 18
The movie with Jim Carrey tried to cram 3 books into one film. It’s a fun movie but bad adaptation. The show is a more faithful adaptation. It’s a dark comedy and it’s overall just a really enjoyable show
Not spoiler.just explainition
Spoilers upcoming
Spoiler
Would every one who takes them in dies in gruesome ways
@@lily-if8ir In other words, they're Very Fucking Dead
@@lucasl8689 Good one.
The intro theme matches up to the books perfectly where Lemony Snicket is constantly trying to get readers to throw away the book to avoid despair lol
It's funny you mention the song sounding detached from Count Olaf's character, but Count Olaf knows he's the bad guy and revels in it. The song could also be in reference to how the author of the books speaks to the reader, where Lemony Snicket constantly tells you how awful of a time it is to write these books
Neil Patrick Harris singing the intro while also being the main villain reminds me of how Danny DeVito was the narrator that sympathized with Matilda while also playing as he abusive dad in Matilda
The song lies, you should absolutely watch this show. While the storylines are a little simplistic (it is based on a children's/young adult series after all) the dark humor is great, and there's a lot of really fun wordplay and a metric fuckton of well-crafted callbacks and foreshadowing.
love this series sm its my childhood tbh
Same 🥺❤️
FOR REAL. i didn’t talk about anything else at 9 and then at 12
as someone who grew up on a series of unfortunate events (books and show), we do not talk about the movie.
Yes! I loved the books growing up (still do tbh) and the movie broke me. I was so mad at how out of order it all was. We don’t claim it.
i watched the show then the movie but didnt read the books. The movie is Eh- disappointing
Yeahhh I remember being upset they just shoved the first 3 books together. Fantastic cast tho!
as a fan of asoue, f**k the movie. it was horrible
The ‘cemetery’ is a boarding school that the Baudelaires go to for 2 episodes in season 2
ONLY TWO i thought it was more. Huh.
@@bastienx3420 the Austrere Academy episodes (the fifth book)
This is possibly my favorite show ever. NPH really characterizes olaf in a way that’s so hard to get- his character is so evil but gets the exact level of nuance the books we’re aiming for. The whole show is fantastic, I would recommend it to anyone who is ok with a bit of despair and life-ruining drama.
This series and the books were my childhood. The story and production in the series is so phenomenal its a shame its underrated/not talked about much at least. It gets CRAZYYY which would be right up your alley of unhinged for a series reaction!
+ Count olaf as a villain is both goofy and genuinely menacing. He's a great character
the “that’s how the story goes song” although it says ending song, is not at the end of the series (it’s the ending of season one). i believe there is a remake near the end of the series but that’s just with like violet and count olaf singing or smth! they actually got a decent ending, bittersweet in a way.
9:55 Mr Poe is a very oblivious guy. He always thinks he is doing a great job finding the kids a new home and everything is fine. A very fun character.
This is my favorite show of all time!! I dont really like the songs, but the actual show is so amazing!! The mystery and literary references are wonderful
Sammmee ❤❤
This was actually my favorite show ever! I am so glad you are doing this!!!!!!!!!!
I love Thats Not How the Story Goes, it hits SO hard when youre watching the show
I read every book in the series multiple times as a kid. Next time I'm at a book store, I'll probably buy the box set so i can reread the entire thing.
Also, I am very upset that the Netflix series ended before they got to the contents of the last books. 😢
What happened in the books?😅
but they finished???
No they finished all the books, unless you mean spin-offs?
But they finished all the books? 🤨
And they were great! 😁
no they finished, i think? i read the books quite a while before but i’m fairly sure they ended at the same points.
15:05 THE FACT THAT IT’S A RUNNING JOKE IN THE SERIES THAT PEOPLE DON’T SEE THROUGH OLAF AND HIS TROUPE’S RIDICULOUS DISGUISES BUT THEN THE GUY WHO WAS JUST IN THE PREVIOUS SCENE WITH HIS GIANT FACE IN THE SCREEN WAS IN A COP DISGUISE AND MATHEW THOUGHT HE WAS AN ACTUAL COP I-
"We are only allowed sadness, despair, and awful things."
He gets it.
This show goes so hard the mysteries and absolute Villian of Olaf is insane it had me Hooked from the start with the cliffhangers and tragedy. Plus the songs from the theme and That’s not how the story goes is so well done
12:55 that’s the broken-hearted crocodile lol; in lemony’s explanation at the beginning of the episode, lemony says it has a mating call that sounds like the words “woe is me”
the "ending song" was actually in the middle of the show. at that point in the show there were no other family members / friends that would take the kids in so they were put in a boarding school and they're waiting to be let into the principal's office. they still have many more desinations to goOlaf was not in jail they were just saying that that would be nice. i think it was to make people think that it ends there - badly but it does end somewhat better:
***SPOILERS****
count Olaf dies and they get to live and they all raise their parents' friend's (who died after giving birth next to Olaf) kid who grows up to be just like them and tells Lemony (the guy who sang the "ending song" low that u liked) more details to the Baudelaires' story hence how he is able to narrate the show. they lived for i think like a couple years on a newly deserted island that their parents used to live on with their old inventions and books. i highly recommend the show, in my opinion the show just gets better and better as it goes on and its also way way way better than the movie.
I hated the ending, the last 3 books were so confusing to little 8yo me, and I wanted a concrete ending haha
look away, loooook away, look away loooooook away, this show will wreck your evening your whole life and your day ! every single episode is
horror and dismay
The second song was played at the end of the first season.
As someone who doesn't remember most of this show, except for profusely sobbing during the last few episodes, I can say in confidence that it is a spiritual experience you won't regret 😅
the theme song actually changes for every episode group!
I love the fact that in this show the episodes are alliterated and the fact that the intro song is different every two episodes
Olaf actually has a kinda tragic backstory, I can't help but feel sorry for the guy....
I was waiting for someone to react to this show, so Matthew I can't even _begin_ to tell you how happy I am that you're checking it out!!! ASOUE is quite possibly my favorite Netflix show of all time, and I don't see enough people talking about it as it is, so thanks for checking it out.
This show is amazing. It is a 3 season compilation of Murder, Arson, despair, grammar, and sentence structure.
Now I want to rewatch the whole show. I loved the books as a teen and I loved the show as an adult. It's so clever and fun, and Netflix's version nailed the tone of the books perfectly. Also, as others have pointed out, that "ending" song was just the end of Season 1 (before they knew if they would get more seasons).
I'd love to see more reactions to ASOUE, as you only covered Season 1.
I genuinely love the Netflix show so much. I loved the movie when it came out and I loved reading the books as a kid. The show definitely has an interesting vibe compared to its predecessors, but I think everyone gives it their all. I especially love some of the characters introduced in season 2 and their performances but the whole cast was spectacular.
That’s Not How the Story Goes plays at the end of season 1 and it was a nice surprise. The reason the gentleman in the car is smiling while singing it is because the character (Mr. Poe) is an oblivious idiot. He’s wholly unaware of the danger constantly happening so to him that was just a cute little song.
Ah, so here we are again. It’s time for me to recommend the RWBY (pronounced Ruby) soundtrack, starting with Volume 1, continues. Once again because they’re bangers. Lyric vids recommended.

DUDE THIS WAS MY SHOW IN 2019 MY FAVORITE AHH IM SO HAPPY U REACTED TO THE SONGS 😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I literally know every single word in every single song! I love this show so much❤❤
I grew up with this show and it’s books. It has a special place in my heart. I honestly forgot most of it so I might have to rewatch it. Though, if you are genuinely considering watching it for a video or in your free time, I 100 percent recommend! And if you do a video on it, here is one guaranteed viewer! Have a lovely day!😊
THIS IS MY FAVORITE SHOW I'M GLAD YOU REACTED THIS
I love the It’s the count song lol
Edit: the whole show is incredible ❤
I LOVE this show! And I love the music
This show is INCREDIBLE! I highly suggest you watch the whole show, the plot twists & drama are insane!!
Omg I love this! The book series is my entire childhood and I love it so much! The show is really good too and I’m so glad you decided to watch and learn about this amazing series 💜💜💜
I gave this show a try cuz I watched a few episodes with my sister out of context and it's actually incredible
The ankle tease 😂😂😂
A series of unfortunate events is so good but sooooo sad! I grew up reading the books, I still remember having to wait like a year for the next one to come out so I could borrow it from the library lol. The TV show was more true to the books than the movie so I always recommend it over the movie. Plus the movie doesn't include all the book.
I love this series can’t wait to watch you react to it
this show is actually so fun i remember watching it with my sisters when it was coming out i’m so glad you reacted to it
I read this book series when I was in late elementary and early middle school, and it majorly impacted me. The name is no joke, over the course of 13 books there’s a lot of death, loss, betrayal, disbelief, and world shattering moments for the Baudelaires. I was so excited when the final book was published and didn’t even know how to describe the feelings I had upon finishing it, the wins didn’t always feel like they outweighed the losses and that was a lot for me to take in. It’s quite depressing but I really do love the books and appreciate the Netflix adaptation because there was never a sequel to cover books after the first three in the Jim Carey version.
I read this series first when I was 8, and I read it multiple times during the next like 5 years. I have depression, and I loved these books so much because they made me feel like I was allowed to be sad. My poor mother didn't know what was going on, and always tried to be so positive around me, but that just made me feel worse. These books had a massive impact on me, as they allowed me to feel my feelings, altho it was also hard for me to process at 8yo haha ❤
Let's get a list of musicians up for Matthew! I've got the violin and the flute covered, what other instruments do we have for the back-up band?
Clicked immediately. Im so excited to see your reactions to this!
13:25
"how did you know our parents were in the piano"
"i took the picture-"
Oh what’s this more of you childhood being covered on this channel don’t mind if it do (I was more scared of this show than Coraline and still watched it and mostly at night) 😅😂😊
ik you haven't seen the show, so i'll explain some things lol. i didn't see the movie so i might just repeat some things that were in the movie alr. BUT YOU REALLY SHOULD WATCH THE SERIES THEY ARE GREAT!!
spoilers btw.
4:19
nah that's count olaf's theather troupe cuz he is an actor. they just came over to his house when this was sung.
4:39
he was talking to the baudelaires becasue they hella rich and olaf's really isn't. his whole goal is to steal their money.
6:19
if you watch the series you probably won't.
"The context for these clips might be weirder than the clips themselves" Yes. Yes, they are Mathew. I definitely recommend watching.
THIS IS MY FAVORITE SHOW 😭😭😭
More people really need to watch this show. As someone who read the books as a kid, I enjoyed it.
I honestly love this show and book series so much.
This show is perfect for out of context reactions! Hope you do more!
Can't wait for the Epic the musical video! The next saga is coming out on feb 14th 😍😍
also, pleaseee consider doing another video of songs from the lightning thief musical :D
The animal is not talking he just is interpreting what the sound the croc made means.
You definitely need to see the show! It's honestly amazing!
I love this series sooo much and I am so exited to see your reaction to this!!! 😊
Oh please do more of these! ASOUE doesn’t get enough love! And there are so many other wacky moments from seasons 2 and 3 to enjoy 😂❤️ Great reaction!!
Speaking as someone who never read the books, this is a really good show worth watching, but it is also very sad. It plays sort of like a mystery adventure, but you have to just accept at the outset you will never get all the answers. You'll get most, enough to form a picture of events, but there will be gaps and holes and misdirects everywhere. The whole thing is told from the perspective of a narrator Lemony Snicket (Patrick Warburton) following the trail of events of the Baudelaire children sometime after events unfold. So some questions will go unanswered and some characters faits are left ambiguous. But if you can accept all that it really is a good story worth following with many proposed questions of morality, injustice, and what it means to be a good person.
I love this show so much and 1000% recommend watching it, might actually go rewatch it because of this video
Matthew, you need to watch this it is so worth the multipule hours
Who else watched the show When you were young and just couldn’t stop
That’s not how the story goes is the end of the first season! Not the whole show! It fits beautifully there.
Mathew being confused by the ankle is sending me
I'm so freaking excited that you're reacting to this, it's so so tragic and weird
I love this show so much but at the same time it is so heart wrenching and i cry everytime
"Don't watch this show"
I've already seen it twice
Oh my god yes! 😂 Watching it for the first time had me thinking to rewatch it after watching it
Omg I literally got so excited when I saw this vid!!! I LOVE asoue and it really doesn’t get enough hype! I haven’t read the books but the series is amazing!!
I was really hoping for epic the musical but this should be fun.
Yeah I was in between those two with the pole lol
@@palomaroggeri8680 It was easily epic personally.
@@AHorrorFanatic its just that this is my favorite series ever, and it gets talked about so little, so Its always nice when it gets some attention
@@palomaroggeri8680 That's completely fair.
I find it so funny that they basically used the book backcover as the intro lmfao
i love this series and there are only a few videos about it so thanks
Please please watch the whole series! It's so good and I promise you'll love it.
I watched the movie like years ago with my mother and my sister. After that I never thought about it again until now. Thank you 😂
This is one of my favorite shows/ books i used to read this with my brother & mother
I was literally playing ASOUE music last night. How perfectly timed.🥹 Beatrice’s humming/theme is another short but beautiful song.
The world is quiet here.
HES THE COUNT HES THE COUNT HE'S DA COUNTTTT
WHO ELSE HAS SUCH ROBUST GOOD LOOKS IN SUCH A LARGE AMOUNT
Im HANDSOME and TALENTED and I love your bank accounttttttt
You NEED to react to an album called Evelyn Evelyn. It’s SO good and underrated. Especially the songs „Evelyn Evelyn“, „Sandy Fishnets“ and „A campaign of shock and awe“
OHMTHEGSOSGD EHEYS
Somehow, this show comforts me
Loved this series should’ve have more series then just 3 and not gonna lie the series was also sad at the same time happy kind of
I love this series so much despite it being a trainwreck
Love the show!!! And seeing you react to it!
Matt thank you for inspiring me to rewatch the show.
I grew up reading this book series and I loved seeing this show.
I tried to look through the comments and didn't see what I'm about to write. If someone did, sorry, I'm repeating this. Count Olaf wasn't showing his ankle because of a weapon. Olaf had a tattoo of an eye on his left ankle, and the kids were trying to prove he was Olaf in disguise. So the sliw reveal was a trick because Olaf hid the tattoo. You wouldn't know this unless you read the books or watched the show. Or remembered it from the movie.
Either way; you really should watch this series. I read the books and watched this series as an adult, and I loved them both.
This is such a good show, I think you'd like it
There are different versions of the theme song like every two episodes there is a new theme song about what’s going to happen in those two episodes and there is a TH-cam video where is has every theme song and I think you should check it out
