- I have heard so much about how cool and interesting Gravity Falls is, so after all of this time, I finally sat down and watched the show and I must say, there was a lot to this show I didn't expect to see. From the mysteries to the characters to the setting, Gravity Falls is one heck of a ride. Today, let's go into my thoughts on the show and what made it so special.

Thanks so much for watching! What are some moments from Gravity Falls that truly left you speechless?
That's nice
I love this show for awhile now
Glad I'm not the only one who watched it for the first time way after everyone else lol. I love it though, especially as it ramps up towards the big finale.
Grunkle Stan and his brother reveal!
Do you know of all of the secrets that the show alluded to in its codes?
This show was WAY better than it had any right to be.
Big time agree on that.🙌
@@theglassespro4557 for the first part all I remember is no one knew it was Mabel plus even if they did know I don't think they would make it a huge deal just a why did you do that kind of thing then continue trying not to die and for the rest I do agree we should have had more ford and had Wendy be more plot relevant since she was a fan favorite but that is just personal opinion
@@ricktheweeb5382 I would've loved to see an episode focused on just those two, but those two together. I don't know why, but I just feel like an episode with Ford and Wendy going on a cooky adventure together would be one of the most entertaining things on TV.
The first season cemented it as a great Disney show.
The second season cemented it as the best Disney show.
Yet there are still people in my life who refuse to watch it. They usually say "If I get bored enough I'll watch it" IF YOU GET BORED ENOUGH!! Worst part is they enjoy the owl house They really like it. But they just won't try Gravity falls
Fun Fact: The Mystery Shack is based on the Oregon Vortex, a tourist trap that Alex Hirsch encountered while visiting Oregon during his college years.
Alex said that the reason the Bill Cipher statue is at Confusion Hill is because Confusion Hill served as the real-life inspiration for the Mystery Shack.
@@fnaffoxy1987 Confusion Hill, is that in Northern California ? I think I've been there.
@@Gatorade69 yes in Leggett Piercy area
@@KumquatChampion Ok. Yeah I have been there. Had family in Piercy.
@@fnaffoxy1987 it’s both places that were the inspiration
Something that's impossible to re-experience is the time between episodes (and seasons). Talking to other fans, speculating, and having to wait literally years for answers is a completely different experience than binging the entire series over a weekend.
And the theory crafting between episodes really was one of the exciting parts of it. If I remember correctly, the Ducktective plot twist after the author reveal was only added *because* so many fans managed to figure out who it was so early. we all had theories, but until that day, none of us could have been sure.
Amen
@@faeranne yeah that was 100% then poking fun at the fact people predicted it so early on . I remember being young and watching all the theories on TH-cam and surprisingly a lot of them were right .
Too true
@@faeranne Also that one time he went out of his way to trick most of the fandom into thinking the author was McGucket with a fake leak!
Gravity Falls is such an amazing show to watch. The show maybe ran for two seasons, but the characters, the story and humor, and the cryptic messages and clues makes it even more interesting. Dipper has the brains, and Mable has the personality.
I like it too
@TheGlassesPro Yeah. Too bad the show ended shortly in 2016, but given the "See You Next Summer" note at the end of the finale. There's possibility that Gravity Falls may come back in the future.
mables personality is called no character development
It also had lemon demon as one of the music creators on the show aswell as neils younger sister beiny a storyboard artist.
@@handtrap8868 oh shut up
Its so easy to forget that Gravity Falls came out 8 years ago, as of me writting this, and that it had a mere 40 episodes to its name
It feels like such a complete and timeless story.
10 years ago*.
@@karenvartikyan3824 stop don't make me feel older than I do cause I remember when that show was hyped up and all from disney when they were releasing the pilot as a must watch like it was only 3 years ago
It was hit me that I was 15 years old when the show ended. Santo Dio.
10 Years! It premiered in 2012. 2022 is its 10th anniversary.
The show came out in 2012 and I feel like it's yesterday.
It really breaks my heart to see what Disney used to be and what they've become. This is definitely one of if not the best animated series I ever watched on Disney.
Alex had to fight Disney's S&M team on quite possibly hundreds of jokes and character aspects, ranging from literally just a spin the bottle joke to Wendy being stated to be bisexual in the show (Which he lost, by the way. Any overt mentions were forcibly removed, leaving only hints, like her mentioning a girl maybe being one of her exes.)
They did allow the two officers to kiss in the finale though.
There's some videos of Alex reading out some of the responses he got from them, I recommend them. So many are just... batshit insane.
The cops didn’t kiss they hugged
The owl house and Amphibia is just on par if not better.
@@thefirstone4864 Those shows are incomparable to Gravity Falls imo
@@NoName-ty7if I see many people say they preferred gravity falls and many people prefering the owl house and a lot of people preferring amphibia but I never see someone say their incomparable it's always me hearing one just edges out. I guess that's an unpopular opinion but to each own.
This show had only 2 seasons and somehow the amount of stories managed to convince me there were at LEAST 4. Well done.
Gravity Falls is amazing. Truly left me wanting more. Also, fantastic supporting cast. Genuinely hard to pick a favorite character.
Nah it's not. The best is obviously Gompers.
I truly think Gravity Falls could use a third season in Piedmont to continue the story, in the same way Amphibia had a third season with the Plantar family living in the Boonchuy home, instead of Anne Boonchuy living in the Plantar home in the first two seasons. I wish Pacifica Northwest and Gideon Gleeful had a Gravity Falls episode together. A storyline pairing them together could highlight how they are similar yet different, when giving each of them different episodes to antagonize the Pines family only makes it seem like they are two interchangeable rich kid antagonists who must never meet.
Star vs. the Forces of Evil and Big City Greens also had a third season in which the main characters who moved out from their original home at the beginning of the series go back there. Maybe Gravity Falls was just 5 years ahead of its time to follow this pattern. Besides, Mabel and Dipper after their 13th birthday still had another year to go before they finally have to face high school, and another summer where they are in Piedmont instead of Gravity Falls can develop their characters as they learn how to mature and grow together. I am sure Wendy, if she visited Piedmont, would be of big help to them in that.
Hey hey hey hey hey... hey... before everyone begs for a season 3, make sure the season is as good, if not better than the previous seasons, and not some dog doodoo sorta quality like it's a bad Disney live action
@@lancetheking7524 season three trailer released already
Alex Hirsch is such a great creator, and I love that he and Justin Roiland are irl friends and reference each other's work.
Let's not forget Pendleton Wards, JG Quintel, and Patrick McHale who are also college friends at the time.
Yeah, don't forget Shion Takeuchi and Dana Terrace. Both worked in Gravity Falls and their shows became a hit nowadays.
Yes, but in Season 2 I think Alex might have focused a little too much on the story than on the character development that season should have gotten. Instead of the subpar Mabel storylines in Sock Opera and The Love God, we should have had that B-story in Blendin's Game or an adjacent simultaneous episode in which Stan and Wendy go shoplifting and they try to steal a diamond from the Gravity Falls museum, or the good version of Escape From Reality when Mabel learns her lesson instead of Dipper giving in, only for Mabel to passively tell him he does not have to give up Ford's apprenticeship for her. This makes me think Matt Braly is a much better creator than Alex Hirsch. I think Amphibia outperformed Gravity Falls in nearly every way - the stories, the humor, the character development, and the fact that we hear less stories about Matt Braly pulling some High Guardian Spice nonsense that Disney Channel did not like and told him he could not do because it was too dirty for their target audience. Great Uncle Stan wanted to teach kids how to swear and fight for dominance on an island, and High Guardian Spice quickly got infamous for doing both of those things because it is much better at demographically inappropriate humor and beautiful visual artwork than more important things, like world-building, storytelling and character development.
This didn't aged well
@@BiGSmoke-.- crying
A show that literally will be remembered for generations to come. For the old fans to enjoy rewatching and new ones to discover.
Gravity Falls is a show you'll never find again.
I'm genuinely jealous of kids who get to grow up with this. I was at university when it came out and it was great. But I think as a kid it would be life defining. Kids will be looking back on it the way I do for shows like Kim Possible and Pokémon.
@@IshtarNike It was awesome growing up on Gravity Falls, and I'm extremely grateful that I did grow up on it, among other great shows
its hard to express just how much they nail the Oregon vibe on every level just the silhouette of the tree line gives me feels as someone that grew up there.
They kinda cheat by making a bunch of Twin Peaks references and vibes.
Alex said he and his twin sister used to spend summers there with his Graunty. Lol
One thing to add on for the journal 3 book is that there was also a special edition where if you shined a black light under the pages you can find secret information like the show did from season 2.
They’re worth like 1000$ but I want one so bad
what 😣😣 i wish i watched this show while it aired
The monologue Dipper has on the bus in the last episode always gives me goosebumps even just thinking about it. It was the PERFECT ending.
Honestly surprised you didn’t watch this sooner. Def up your ally. Great show that Disney doesn’t deserve.
Ironically, Disney Channel is the safest place to air an animation series compared the CN and Nick. In CN, it could be a tax write-off and in Nick, it would air on Nicktoons due to ratings.
@@Trist233 Yeah, they say Disney is bad, look which other two networks are worse.
@@Trist233 Not completely true, on Disney you have highest chance out of the three to get pulled off the air quickly.
Yeah !!!!
I feel like I say this with every other video of yours, but I need to rewatch this badly. It's on my top 3 favourite animated shows of all time and it's just so damn good. So happy you liked it, thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching!!
What are your other favorite shows?
@@pugpartyproductions8805 Adventure Time, Apple & Onion, and honorary mention to The Simpsons.
@@Esziepants ah ok then. So far I've only been interested in the early Simpson seasons but maybe someday I'll give Adventure Time a chance. My favorite ones are Regular Show and TAWOG
I loved this show, cried at the ending. Had the fun bits and the scary bits, had love, friendship and family .
One of the parts I won't forget is when Grunkle Stan first opened the portal and Dipper and Mabel found out. Dipper told Mabel to shut it down but Stan told her to trust him that he would never hurt them .
Knowing how close Mabel is to Stan and how she just let go saying she is literally putting her life in his hands was so deep. Dipper almost ran mad 😂😂😂
You really should watch Amphibia and The Owl House (though i understand waiting for TOH to end), they're both basically the children of Gravity Falls, that same foundation we all love but building off of it in entirely unique and amazing ways (just brace yourself if you thought Into the Bunker was dark)
I watched Gravity Falls week to week. It was a show I genuinely looked forward to watching when I got home from work. It was obviously a show to be used as a gateway to sci-fi and even horror at some points for kids but didn’t dumb itself down so anyone can watch it. Alex Hirsch created one of the best “kid’s” shows ever and I’m really happy I experienced it and got involved with the community.
This is the show that got me back into watching cartoons as an adult. I have a Dipper hat lol. So much fun, genuinely hilarious, and Bill Cypher is one of the best villains ever!
I'm totally surprised you didn't watch this show until recently this show is a gem and i love it.
Is so weird that this show was short in terms of episode count.
I really love how Axel got inspired by his life that's actually great and it fits the amazing vibe that the show went with and how many episodes had random occurrences that shouldn't be that interesting.
Soos is an angel and nobody can argue with that don't even try to but the whole cast is really on point can't love it even more.
Season 2 was the biggest acid trip ever and I loved every second of it even decided to watch Weirdmaggedon before it even aired here on Latin America.
Totally forgot about the shorts man those were really funny.
Hoo boy Alex got to voice Bill again in the Simpsons nice to see things going full circle.
This show was a great breath of fresh air in the network i really wanna go and watch it like it is my first time again.
Great vid Jordan
was thinking the same thing like how does a person who made his channel of cartoons not watch gravity falls which i would say is number 3 in my list of favorite shows/movies of all time
It's so enjoyable, I'd recently got my girlfriend to watch it with my 9 year old girl and I. She is not normally into animated shows, but she really enjoyed Gravity Falls. Awesome you checked it out. Keep up the awesome work!
Great job Jordan. I love how you simultaneously tell the story of gravity falls without giving away its secrets. My wife and I fell in love with this show and couldn't put it down. Fingers crossed for more in the future.
This show means so much to me. The community created around the show is so kind and welcoming. I was able to participate in the scavenger hunt Alex Hirch set up by being in the chat of people who were streaming their progress in the hunt. I was able to get my name written on the back of the giant jigsaw puzzle that was made at the end of the hunt that was given back to Alex at the end of it. I hope Alex will come back to this show in some way someday. I would watch a Gravity Falls movie in a heartbeat. I'd also say shut up and take my money to a Gravity Falls video game as well. So, thanks for making a video on what is arguably one of the best TV shows ever made. Thank you 😊 💓 ⭐️🌈
Gravity Falls came out at the time I was in high school and that show became an instant favorite of mine that got me to go to animation school and became an animator now. It's a modern classic that already became timeless, it's jam packed with so many clever jokes, easter eggs/references that are smartly done without being too on the nose, and intriguing mystery plot that felt so satisfying watching when it all came together, everything about it was really unlike anything that came out at the time. It was truly a lightning in a bottle.
What made this show special to me was first of all, the art. My goodness, is it gorgeous to look at! The backgrounds are absolutely incredible to look at! That, and the music really bring me in, especially during the more dramatic moments.
But most importantly, it’s beachside of the relatability I had with characters such as Dipper, Grunkle Stan, and Ford. I saw much myself inside of them I haven’t really seen before in a cartoon.
Yes, Dipper is the brains. But with that comes a blunt, curious, analytical, brave, and kind character who stood his ground, and had a deep passion for what he loved. (Interestingly enough, his passion for the paranormal and mysteries is the kind of passion I have for art and animation.)
Grunkle Stan is a wildcard who shamelessly gets gets away with a lot of scams, yet I did not expect him to bear so much pain and love for his family. This was beautifully captured by the episode, “Not What He Seems”.
I very much ended up loving Ford for the same reasons as Dipper. The knowledge he gains from his adventures in Gravity Falls and in other dimensions is intriguing, the experiences he has with Bill are terrifying, and, like Dipper, he has a harder time making connections with people in the ways the other characters can.
Oh, and Bill could not be a more perfect villain! He has the wits of all three characters, from a scamming, analytical, intelligent perspective. Yet he cranks it up to the max by trying to destroy the world through chaos, not by seeking any benefit or wonders within it.
I guess in order for me to get into the show, it has to do with putting yourself in the characters’ shoes, and watching it through their perspectives.
watching this as it aired helped me so much in middle school. i’ll always have a special place in my heart for this show.
So glad you finally gave Gravity Falls a watch!
Since it ended, Gravity Falls has always been my favourite show. I was around the same age as Dipper and Mabel when it ended so it was really like saying goodbye to two friends. I really looked up to Alex Hirsch when I was younger, and I still do today. One of my biggest inspirations! Nothing compares to the mystery of Gravity Falls!
I was a freshman in college when it ended I was sad I love cracking the codes I still do for fun
This is an incredible overview of Gravity Falls! It’s also another reminder of why it is my favorite show of all time. The mystery, fun and characters keep you invested and dig deeper as you continue on. Mystery becomes more heavy, fun is treasured and each character naturally grows in their respective arc.
It is a show that delivers on laughter, goosebumps, tears and wondrous delight. Gravity Falls has some huge themes such as redemption, loyalty, family values and of course trust. It’s amazing to peel back the layers of a ‘simple looking show’ and realize just how timeless Gravity Falls truly is. Thank you!
One of the best animated series of all time.
wel best of that time avatar the last air bender i found also very good and have u seen over the garden wall
True!
The theme song to this show lives in my head 😂! Such a great show! I had a few spine surgeries around the time and span the show was on and it was one of the shows that helped me to get by while stuck in bed for a while. I was always wondering where the show was going and what cool crazy stuff they would have in each episode.
Alex truly reinvented cartoon storytelling at Disney and the epic cinematic lore driven legacy that he started would later live on in other well written shows such as DuckTales reboot, Amphibia and The Owl House. Gravity Falls proved that cartoons can be enjoyed be everyone and not just kids. I’m so glad I grew up with it otherwise I wouldn’t be the person I am today.
Too bad that serialized era ended when Disney decided it "didn't fit their brand" but whatever 🙄
This show was perfect for me. I still watch it when I’m going through a rough time bc it’s such a fun little world, the characters are so loving, and the humor still makes me laugh. The end always makes me tear up a little.
I also just finished watching through the whole show. I can’t even begin to describe how amazing and nostalgic it feels.
You know what I love about this show? It knows what it wants to do, and it does it PERFECTLY from day 1. Grumble Stan going behind the vending machine, or Bill being flashed at the end of the intro.
Although I adore this show, I do have to admit that the finale of the show did feel extremely rushed but the very final scene with Mabel and Dipper saying goodbye and leaving Gravity Falls was extremely well done.
Hard disagree. The finale was a 3 parter and the 3rd part was double length. It was perfect imo
I cried at the ending 🥺🥺🥺
I wish there was more Stanford in it, he was the huge reveal of being the author and he wasn't in a lot of the episodes. But I adore this show and it's probably one of my top 3 favorite kid cartoon shows.
I wish they didn't bring Grunkle Stan's memory so quick so i would feel depressed for a long time xD But the part with Mabel and dipper leaving gravity falls definitely makes me emotional!
This show gave me the best childhood, the mystery, the thrills, the Adventures and drama. it's pure perfection!!! i hope this show comes back
You should've seen this show back when it still aired. The theorists went absolutely crazy, and the level of hype surround the mysteries is something no other show quite managed to achieve since then. Watching the final part of that season 1 finale made everyone absolutely lose their marbles.
I *_DESPERATELY_* want Gravity Falls to continue in some way, whether it be through a 3rd season, a movie, or even just more shorts.
Probs a spin off would be great
Or a point-and-click adventure game
A spin off where we go through Ford’s experience in the rift could be fun.
My best friend loves this show and she got me into it, I actually got her book 3 as a Christmas gift years ago and she still loves it
This will always be my favourite cartoon. Chatting on msn with one of my dearest friends at high school while we waited for new episode to drop, solving the cyphers, talking aboutvit next day at class, watching the finale at his house with a bunch other friends and his younger siblings with their friends... A lot of fond memories tied to a show that truly sends a message of passion and truthness to oneself 💖💖💖💖
My grandad introduced me to Gravity Falls shortly before his death in 2013 so now I hold Gravity Falls in a very strong place in my heart as it reminds me of my grandad
I love this show so much
Gravity Falls is in my top 5 cartoons of all time, right there next to Avatar. It was a lot of fun watching this show live with all the fans. Discussing theories, and enjoying all the easter eggs, clues, ciphers, etc. Never say never, but, there's never gonna be something like this show again.
Gravity Falls is ABSOLUTELY one of those shows that just gets better with each rewatch! Just like you said! And the more I learned about the little details in each episode, the more I loved it! (I learned a lot from the Mystery Shack Lookback podcast!) Such a great tv show! So glad you finally watched it!
I recently discovered your channel and after watching some of your videos , first thing I searched for was your take on gravity falls like yesterday but didn't found one and now suddenly this video popped up. Loved it😊.
Ngl
The more I rewatch Tale Of Two Stans
The more I side with (or at least understand more of) Stanley’s perspective
He was forced to survive on his own and had no one
Then when his brother finally reaches out to him
It’s to tell him to take a book and go as far away as possible
Basically using his own brother as a tool to undo the mess Ford himself caused
You also forgot about two major things. The humor and the ciphers at the ends of the episodes were AMAZING! The humor was so unique and ahead of its time, always too fun to rewatch. As for the codes, it makes you feel like a part of the series to decode them yourself with the rest of the fandom. It added another layer of mystery and it felt like the story within the show was only reaching the surface of what was actually going on
This is just perfect timing!!! I was just reminiscing about the nostalgia I had for the show.
A little backstory:
When the show started airing on ukrainian tv I was around the same age as the characters meaning that I was just the perfect demographic. One of my favorite shows growing up (largely thanks to my parents) was The X Files (which the creator has cited as one of the three major influences on the show, along with Twin Peaks and his own childhood) so I always liked stories about weird and outlandish monsters, demons and whatnot. Around this age I also started getting into mythology, folklore, conspiracy theories and unexplained phenomena (I was essentially Dipper and Ford combined) which is a fascination I've had with me to this day so having a show which combines all of these in a neat, relatable setting (I grew up in a small town very much like Gravity Falls, well without the monsters, demons and cosmic level threats (the ones that I knew of anyway)) was a joy to see and watch on a weekly basis. My first episode was Headhunters.
It's one of the few shows I watched as it aired and I could have speculated about what will happen with the rest of the fanbase. It was just an extremley immersive experiance.
It's also one of the things that inspired me to take on writing. Ever since I saw Journal 3 appear I just had to make my own version. Unfortunatley a lot of my own personal copies (which didn't particularly replicate what appeared in the show mind you, and yes ther's more than one) didn't survive, but I still have a few which I will guard with my life. To this day I write stories and works like this and I thank this show (and The Spiderwick Chronicles books) to paving the way for it. Just the whole feel of trying to solve a mystery in my own town (even if it was a fake one) still has to be one of the happiest moments of my childhood.
I still find Bill Cipher to be the best animated tv villain. Sure you can bring up The Beast, Mark Hammil's Joker, Ozai, Skeletor or even Slade, but none of them combined the humor, oddity, menace and sense of power in the way that Bill does.
I've rewatched the show 3 times in 3 diffrent languges (ukrainian, russian and english) and I still can't get enough. It's hands down the best animated show I've had the pleasure of witnessing and I'm not that much of an animation fan to begin with.
All and all it's a beautiful, touching, quirky, sometimes disturbing, yet still wickedly funny and charming series which I hope to introduce to my kids if I ever have them someday.
As per to what moments give me goosepbumps I'm gonna say that the reveal of Ford, the reveal of the spacecraft and that tearjerker of an ending still make me want to cry at just how beautiful they are.
I remember the finale, it premiered on my birthday and my friends and me all gathered to watch it during my party lmao, such a great show
I’m glad you enjoyed it. Everything you said is true but imagine after watching a jaw dropping episode you have to wait months for the next one? Waiting for another episode to watch with a bunch of conspiracies and so much hype building it up. Watching it as the episodes come out was truly another amazing thing that sadly newer fans can’t experience. It made the show even somehow better
I am appalled to know you just watched this , you been living for years not knowing this masterpiece. but now you do :D . best moments are definitely the backstories
Im honestly surprise you havent watched it before! This is just thr first of the new disney series that really change my view of the brand, i will be expecting amphibia and specially the owl house soon!
have you seen those? are they just as good or similar? :))
I'm frankly kind of shocked that this is your first foray into Gravity Falls. And I'm profoundly thankful that it is, I didn't expect to hear a fresh take from you on a piece of media I really love.
Glad you checked it out, such a well-written show and funny as hell
Definitely an instant modernish classic. As an early 2000’s kid I phased out of Disney channel animation by the time this came out. Didn’t have nostalgia for it and watched for the first time maybe 2 years back. It’s a masterpiece and can be brought up with some of the best cartoons of the past few decades. Amphibia and Owl house are also some of the best things to come out of Disney as a whole the past decade
Which isn't a coincidence, considering that both Amphibia and The Owl House are made by people who worked on Gravity Falls!
This and Infinity Train are two of the best "hidden layers, hidden meanings" kind of shows I've ever watched.
Imagine watching this show from day one and the mystery of it airing over 4 years. 10 episodes a YEAR on average.
I’m so happy people are finally experiencing this show as it is building its legacy. But to be a teenager/young adult who can catch all these references a younger audience might not get, and immersed in this world and mystery slowly as each episode aired was truly a special moment to experience.
Legendary show
Cool you released the video like you said you would. I remember talking about this show so much with old coworkers and clearing out my schedule to make sure I didn't miss the final episodes, it was one of those shows that you're sad that ended but happy have seen it through.
Gravity Falls really is a one of a kind show. Other shows have tried to emulate it, but always fall short.
No amount of words can describe how much I love this show. From start to finish I was never bored, eager to see how deep the rabbithole of mysteries went with each new episode. All the characters were charming and I had quickly found my favorites while watching. When the final episode aired I was a mess of bittersweetness as the twins' summer came to an end. When I had learned about the Cipher Hunt a few years after it happened (didn't have Twitter at the time), it was incredible to see fans from all over come together to solve Alex's final gift of the show.
Gravity Falls forever holds a place in my heart ❤🌲🌠❔
I’ve got more than a theory on gravity falls being left open the last words spoken by bill cipher when played backwards are “A-X-O-L-O-T-L My time has come to burn I invoke the ancient words so that I may return”
this video helped me find this channel, and the timing you had with the ad blew my mind
I love Gravity Falls. Such a chaotic masterpiece. Even though it lasted for 2 seasons, it still has such an amazing legacy afterwards.
Gravity Falls is my favorite show of all time, and frankly it has helped me a lot when I've felt awful
Definitely one of my comfort shows when stuff is too overwhelming I will always choose it
Dipper was my childhood crush. I recently rewatched gravity falls again and it was so weird to remember all these small things that would make me get butterflies as a little kid and to now be OLDER than him😅
Had a blast watching this show a few years ago...just a pleasure even for a 30 year old dude
Waddles is also voiced by Neil DeGrasse Tyson in the episode when Waddles becomes a super genius
It is a MASTERPIECE!!! From the Easter eggs to the twists and turns of the writing… but most of all the humor is perfectly executed.
Bro you’re videos are so lit love the childhood nostalgia u give
This is one of the best shows ever made. Its rare for me to say but its a perfect show. There's only a few shows that are a complete series that I give that title of perfect to, but this show earned it. I started watching this show about 2 or 3 months before the series finale came. I don't even remember what got me started honestly. I think I'd maybe heard good things about it or someone told me about it. I can't recall at this point, but I'd downloaded every episode and binged watched it. I couldn't stop. It was sooo fun, so dramatic, so beautifully animated, the intro was just *chef's kiss* gold, and then when I hit that penultimate episode, I was fucking READY for that finale and it paid off with my everflowing tears. I cried multiple times watching this show and I have since continued to cry when I think about it. It got me emotionally, it got me invested. Not many shows can get me that deep. Doctor Who. Fullmetal Alchemist/Brotherhood. Just to name a few. But this show? Definitely with those in my top 10 ever created. I'm thankful for the adventure, the actual thought out plot and backstories of characters like Old Man McGucket! Oh my god that shit broke my soul man smh.....i fucking love this show. I even messaged Alex on twitter asking when the bluray would come out and he even responded to me saying he didn't know and it was up to Disney. And then some years later BOOM! Bluray. I screamed and preordered it and when it came, I rewatched the entire thing in beautiful 1080p quality (as it deserves to be seen in all its proper 1080p glory and dvds shouldn't even be made for it because its just soo disrespectful) and cried all over again. So I say all this to say. Yeah, I really love this show and think its perfect and can't wait to put my son on this shit lol. I'll be sure to update when I finish it with him and let you all know what he thinks.
Good. Now watch Owl House. It's a masterpiece.
Y'know, the one thing I always wanted post-season finale was a Christmas special(s). I mean sure it ends with the summer ending and them going home for school. But what about winter break? Not to mention all the Christmas-y things that can be made. Elves v. Gnomes. Krampus/Santa. Flying reindeer is already weird enough, time to add it in for plot reasons. I mean there's so much unexplored that could be great for Christmas. The only thing I hate is how there's nothing.
I remember watching gravity falls as a kid and I was so bummed that it ended after only 2 seasons
But now looking back I’d much rather have a show end on a peak than have it drag on for so long that ur glad it’s finally over
I think show is good regardless but i doubt someone who binge watch it gonna have same satisfaction with watch it in time and creating theories over years.
well I did
Watching on mobile (not common for me) and actually getting an ad for the “ad break” section had me floored.
I found your channel through Fringe-mas and I've been binging your videos ever since, love your content!
It feels like Fringemas is all about me this year. 😁 Especially with the last few episodes. I never thought I'd hear about Chaotic again and to hear about it in detail. I literally knew nothing about it when it was on. Just that I loved it. I hoped there was a card game to go with it but didn't know for sure. Then Kim, Steven, A Pup Named Scooby Doo (favorite Scooby version) , Rocko (favorite Nicktoon) , and now Gravity Falls? You're pulling from all of my favorites Jordan! Keep it up. Love all the videos.
Gravity falls will always be my favorite cartoon ever, the characters, vibe, setting and story of the show is all amazing, I loved it as a kid, I’m 17 now and still love it
I’m so glad you got the chance to watch this show. It’s one of my favorites!
Thanks for creating really high quality videos
This was such a great show. Watched this in high school. Amazing show and sad it was only 2 seasons but the final episode was a tearful ending. He def needs to do Digimon. Was a big part of my childhood growing up.
Yesssss! Another hit. I hope you watch Amphibia and The Owl House. They are basically sibling shows
i love this show so much, and u did a great job explaining the feelings it makes us have.
i also love that it kinda ties in with rick and morty
I enjoy your 25 days fringemas, every episode is very informative and give me more information that I was like wow I didn’t know that…started watching your fringemas last year, keep up the great work and look forward to more of your knowledge on what your narrativing
Appreciate the kind words and support! Thanks so much!
I really really hope we get something, ANYTHING, that goes into the Stan-o-war adventures. Or even a lil reunion short since Dippers letter said “see you next summer”
Your best video yet, loved this show so much, really wish we got to follow “gruncles” on their adventures with eachother
I am glad this show isn't long in episodes. It's always nice to watch something new, because it has ~40 episodes.
that ad was perfectly timed props to you
You talking about this show made me wanna rewatch it again. I wish we got something just something more outta that show. Those characters were written and voiced perfectly. Definitely part of my childhood
I've also only recently watched Gravity Falls.
Yeah I did know some things going in, specifically the biggest twist in the show. (you know the one)
But that didn't stop me getting fully invested. Binged it all in about a week.
I already knew Schaal's voice from Bob's Burgers, and yep Mabel might be my favourite part of the show. But Dipper, Grunkle Stan, Soos & Wendy are all great too.
The ending of the show is probably what impressed me the most. It knew how and when to end, unlike other shows (Phineas & Ferb among others), the crazy visuals in weirdmageddon were awesome and the emotional goodbyes did get to me (despite me going through the show so quickly).
Great video as always Jordan, glad you got into the show as I did.
I watched the entire series back when it was airing. Since I was also a fan of Adventure Time, I was already used to comedic shows with dark and sometimes mysterious imagery. But Gravity Falls managed to have a completely different and special atmosphere of its own.
The complex and lovable characters, the believable interpersonal conflicts, the clever humor and engaging visuals, the brilliant little details of foreshadowing, the audience even being given a chance to partake in solving the overarching mystery of the series. So many things about this series combined to make it an entertaining and memorable watching experience.
Thank you for giving this show a chance Jordan. I'm quite happy to learn more about this iconic piece of my childhood. Merry Fringemas!
Thanks for adding images to the actors, help me put names to faces and overlap on other projects
i was a fan of the show from the moment it premiered, and kept up with the fandom on tumblr throughout the series’ run.
there’s no way to fully convey just how *fun* it was to be a fan during that time. there was so much to play around with in the time between episodes (disney put us through some painful hiatuses), and it was a blast just being online and participating in all the clue-finding and speculation! because there were just *so many* easter eggs and codes and hints littered throughout, different people would pick up on different things and then get together and share what they’d found. there was a lot of time to just sit and marinate between episodes, and i used to rewatch the newest episode over and over because they were always just that good.
the show still holds up marvelously, and i highly recommend it to anyone who hasn’t seen it, but there really was a lot of magic in experiencing it in real time that’s hard to fully convey.
Also! If you haven’t seen Motorcity, that’s another absolute BANGER show that was on disney around the same time, and it got absolutely shafted. It was way too good for disney, especially considering how much the network screwed it over. Jordan’s even got a banger vid on it, so…
im lucky to have been there during its run, the theory community was insane. Its safe to say this show revolutionised cartoons, paving the way for more horror and adult aspects being incorperated.
gravity falls had one of the best, if not the best theme song. the spooky one at the end of the shows run was also golden
The Cipher Hunt was such a fun and cool event. While I never got to take part in it, upon reading about it online and watching videos on it, I'd say that it must've been a lot of fun figuring these puzzles out. Although, I do sometimes wonder, what if someone not part of the hunt just happened to stumble across the statue before anyone else, and then posts online with something like "hey does anyone know what this statue is? found it in the forest", only for a ton of people to freak out or something.
now im going to rewatch this amazing show, tysm
I feel bad u didn't get too experience this show while it was coming out. The theory's, the lore, the community; it was all amazing. Like most of us i grew up watching this show and it really felt like an era in my life. Im glad it ended the way it did, too quickly just like childhood. Now im here 22 with a fulltime job and my own house, but ill look back on this show remembering the mysteries and adventures.
Wow
All of this while growing up with the show definitely helped leave the impact it did.
Another great selling point for the show was every episode would end with a code or multiple codes to solve. Some later episodes had codes in them or keys to other codes. It took some brain work to solve them and the payoff (early on) was maybe an added joke, but later clues would give hints of things to come. I've not seen another show that's done this sort of thing giving the viewers 'homework' to solve to learn more about the world they've become invested in, but it fits so well with the overall theme of mysteries.
