The idea of Brett giving Reagan advice about how she just needs to be herself and how great she is, followed by him immediately dismissing the idea of applying it to himself is so accurate

Right? So what he not perfect. Dude wants to fit in. Its really sad how the people around him wont throw him the complements he deserves at times. They cost almost nothing.
JR was, weirdly, not the most morally bankrupt person in the show. Which I find intensely hilarious since his entire personality is greed and manipulativeness
@@scylla1772 Well the main character is a mad genius who works for a secret org that disappears people. I can't think of a single person in the main cast who isn't evil.
@@dylanthesea2976 I don't know if they're inherently evil. They're a shadow government that uses extreme tactics but they don't seem to have many bad goals
@@scylla1772 He's not the most morally bankrupt but, he definitely is one of the most morally bankrupt... I mean he literally embezzled money from the company he works for, made a joke and actively perpetuated the act of keeping people brainwashed for profit (fake 80's town) "radically unethical." Used the blood of a deadman to sign a contract (defiling a corpse), said contract being for a real estate scheme which involved hunting down interns for sport, constantly underpays and steals money from his employees. Was willing to sacrifice Brett for profit, lies viciously to those around him "I still never got that Attaboy from JR." "That's right I'm a liar Oprah..." Undervalues his employees (disrespecting Reagan's work, and character while overvaluing Brett, granted I would like Brett as much as JR to he's adorable.) Is racially insensitive (Lizardmen racist jokes), has sent people to die for him before "are you still mad about me using the extraction team as a suicide squad?" Was willing to murder his employees when a mole was leaked, actively avoids any act of empathy "I'm done listening" (when Reagan was distressed about being unable to hug.) And this is just on the top of my head he's done worse and would've continued to trample on peoples heads had he not been caught embezzling money.
I love how everytime it is shown that the cognito gang is complaining or actively fighting against Raegan, you can see Brett not participating in the background or is actively supporting her. Dude's got her back throughout the whole show except for that one time with blaming her dad as the mole, which was completely justified with how much of a dick Rand was. Dude is the chaddest of chads and the heart of the group and that's why he is my favorite character.
What makes the "untraceable face" joke so funny to me is that it's hinted at earlier in the episode when Robotus facial recognition failed when scanning Brett.
The fact that Brett projects a happy middle-class family as his ideal family when his childhood is spent in a mansion really says something. He’d much rather have the picture perfect family dynamic he sees in shows than living in a mansion with his family. What’s stopping him from imagining his happy family reunion with a great feast, served by butlers and whatnot? He desperately craves love and intimacy with a family that he’d rather live in a less well off but closely bounded family than just a healthy relationship with his family.
That moment when you realize he was rich but had recalled 80s toys even though he was born in the 90s because his parents didn't buy him stuff, that was just what his older siblings lefts behind
It's something that can easily happen with parents who neglects their youngest kid's, i know i had the same problems except i wasn't given any privacy whatsoever on my own stuff and most of my time, meaning that my parents would often steal from my stuff or go through it without my consent just because it benefits them, to this day i both wish he had a better childhood while also envying him a little bit because i didn't even get my own corner without it being constantly trespassed, i know it's not healthy but either both sucks
I love when they had to fire somebody, Brett was so terrifying of doing something that could make someone dissaprove him that he asked if firing himself was a possibility, but Reagan says that doing it wouldn't solve the budget issue because he's technically an unpaid intern
It seems like Brett's lonely childhood gave him an obsessive need to be liked by others and he values himself based on how much he's liked by others. And it seems like Reagan's lonely childhood has made her pretty terrified of being genuinely liked/known intimately (struggling with dating, friends, etc.) and she tries very hard to NOT value herself based on how likeable she is to others.
That need to be liked is also why I think Brett struggles with feeling like he has no real personality. If you're constantly trying to bend yourself into whatever shape others like, then you HAVE no defined shape. You're never doing or thinking of anything for yourself. If the answer to "what's your favorite color?" is "whatever color will make you like me the most", then you don't actually have any answer to that question because you're too fearful of staking down an opinion that someone else might disagree with.
@@valkyria4631 fun fact, Brett and Reagan are the original definitions of extroverts and introverts. It’s not about shyness, it’s the ability to shape yourself to fit a new environment
I love how Brett is so obviously not okay as the show goes on, but when we first meet him he just appears to be this simple-minded, friendly guy. Like, not to trivialize mental illness and personal struggle, but the older I've gotten the more I've realized that everyone has problems - not the "I'm behind in my studies" or "I can't get a girlfriend" problems, but more the "I never resolved my deep-seated childhood trauma where I was molested by a family friend and now I have a fear of intimacy that's damaging my personal relationships" problems. And EVERYONE has these. It really puts things into perspective.
This is absolutely true. I try to remind myself of this when I get frustrated with someone, because who knows what baggage they were carrying into my interaction with them. Helps me be more compassionate to myself as well.
Bro bretts childhood neglect leading to his attachment to the items around him and the sucking into fiction and fantasy, paired simultaneously with his need to be liked and searching for the approval he never got is so good from a character standpoint. Like of course he goes to therapy 80% of his personality is that childhood trauma and the rest is his sincere want to be good, not out of a psychological need, but just because he wants the people who make him happy to be happy too. I feel like his connection to a material world is relatable, and idk i just love him for that
Its probably because he has his own faults which he is concious of while trying to deal with his childhood trauma and obvious neglect thus making him human and thus giving him a unique personality
@@Ilovepuppysandbuns Yeah. Netflix had a very good year. So to capitalize on that, they wanted to push their income as hard as possible to get as good numbers into the hands of stakeholders as possible. So accountants in Netflix figured out they could cancel some shows, and get a tax return from the government which would improve their numbers up. Yes, letting the show be produced and launching another season would make them more money, in the long run, but they didn't care about the long run, they needed money NOW, it had been a long time since Netflix had ever been on the green and they wanted to push it as hard as possible, so they axed the show to get those tax returns.
@@icecold1805я буквально неделю назад решила посмотреть этот сериал, за два дня посмотрела все серии, и мне очень обидно, что его отменили, я очень надеюсь, что когда-нибудь сделают продолжение, но это, к сожалению, маловероятно …я ненавижу нетфликс, надеюсь it will be cancelled by people (решила эту фразу написать на английском, чтобы переводчик нормально смысл фразы перевёл, но может быть наоборот, что я неправильно фразу написала 😅)
Well we don't usually get a lot of himbo characters that show the dark underbelly of living that way. Brett isn't even that likable imo, he's just real.
5:27 I think what makes this even funnier (and sadder) is that no one is laughing about what he said. Andre, Glenn and Gigi all look sad for him, Reagan looks disturbed, and Myc doesn’t even crack any jokes and just says “Sheesh”, so even HE doesn’t see it as a laughing matter.
Making self deprecating jokes is often more of a coping mechanism than something others will find genuinely funny. Oftentimes the person making the joke doesn’t even realize it. This is a good example.
Myc is sarcastic but not sadistic. He doesn't really need this job. To him this is a place to have fun and to him this sounded like a desperate call for help.
@@GrayCatbird1 Yeah, often victims of childhood neglect and/or abuse don’t realize that their childhood wasn’t normal and crack jokes about it, not knowing that other people will be concerned. That bit of realism just makes it more sad to me
@@InsertUsernameHere_a Tell that to the thousand of utterly, absurdly generic and boring isekai characters. Brett is a mess that has a _front_ as something generic. Everything about him makes him act it out but he is a mental, stressed out insecure mess.
@@InsertUsernameHere_a it's like when people when try to pull stunts with their new car/bike, sure you may pull some cool tricks but 80% of the time you're going to end up wrecked or worse.
He's an unintentional pariah. The man goes through just as much mental bullshit as everyone else but keeps a happy face on. He knows everyone has problems and his isn't any more special than the next person, and takes on the problems of others.
I just want to point this one out (Spoiler for the show) In episode 10, after bear o "neutralised" reagan's friends, Brett was still alive with reagan and her father. Supposedly bear o's next target would be brett, but he shifted his target to her father instead. Possibly bear o knows that brett is the only friend who actually makes reagan happy. Or bear o just forgot about him which is just unlikely Or his face is so generic, that bear o cannot trace his face
I think it was because Reagan isn't unhappy with Brett (they might get a little heavy on them sometimes, but it's not something to be strongly disliked, compared to his co-workers and Rand)
It sads me to think, after what he said. Even doctors don't know what is wrong with him, or he is so insignificant, that no one wants to actually help him.
@@IAmNecroplanter That's what I'm saying though. He is seeing a therapist, and yet he's still like this. Is this all there is. Being enslaved to one's insecurities, even after seeking help? I dunno. It brings me down.
@@Aflay1 therapy isnt a one day fix, it can take potentially years of work, and who knows how long hes been seeing his therapist? besides, it seems his main focus in therapy is handling his social anxiety and panic attacks, immediate problems like that (and potential emotional gaslighting at work) and healthy coping mechanisms for them, and while he probably has to touch on sensitive topics, he might just not be ready to open up about all of his repressed trauma yet, so hes probably not sharing as much as he maybe should. ...its not a good idea to force someone to talk about something theyre clearly not ready to talk about yet, though. step by step, my man. also could you imagine how much WORSE brett mustve been BEFORE he started therapy?? the brett we see in the show is probably actually an improvement on that! but yeah anyway thats just how i see it tho
I think it’s cause a bunch of people who worked on gravity falls worked on this show, so they could do comedy without worrying about S&P messing up their jokes
He literally said he stays up at night because he doesn't know if he has his own personality or not. Thats a pretty big indicator that his mental health is completely fucked.
He says he has no personality, but what I see is someone who is persevering, outgoing, good-hearted (he means well), hard-working, and loving. He may be insecure and socially anxious but he does his best.
It's one of those things that comes with borderline personality disorder. You're so internally convinced that you have no value that you don't even perceive a personality. I've dealt with enough people trying to describe me and compliment their way into 'fixing me' to know that it's never the truth but the truth doesn't matter to a broken brain. No matter how much others try to tackle it, it never 'feels like' it actually lands.
@@99sins I think its also a joke on how he is basically designed to be the generic new guy everyman white guy protagonist and then being fleshed out by giving him a complex and three-dimensional personality that subverts that trope.
Knowing that a character in a TV show is actually receiving mental-health help (therapy yeah!) is nice It weirdly feels like some kind of representation for me
Therapy isn't going to cut it. One needs to see a psychiatrist as well. Replace therapist with psychologist and it's the best way for those suffering mental illness to get treatment in the US.
@@BlackBunn1e Psychiatrist and psychologist are not the same thing. If you can get both and have them properly work together then you can get the best of both worlds.
@Bingo please don't troll people on this subject. Yes, you can get reactions like you want. No, it's not cool or funny or something to be proud of. There's no way you're actually so stupid as to believe what you said.
I just realized the obvious parallels: 1. Brett grew up lonely and wanted friends to care about him, only to get that when he found Reagan 2. Reagan grew up with a friend and had a normal childhood, yet it was taken away from her from Rand. She had never known how much she needed a friend again, until she met Brett.
I love the friendship between those two It’s so wholesome and Reagan really seems to take Brett’s advice seriously (even if it takes her a while to start) since by the end of S1 she has changed enough to see her dad for the monster he is
Honestly, i love Reagan's and Brett's friendship, both kinda need each other. But tbh i wouldnt mind their relationship becoming romantic, either way i like them
I like that they're just friends, but I'm also shipping them super hard. It'd feel pretty organic if they fell for each other at this point since they mesh well.
They got the Leela/Fry Dynamic, except more realistic. I appreciate it, especially since we are getting new Futurama soon, so dopish dude and badass lady dynamic gonna be on demand.
I kind of like that they are just friends rather than a relationship. It's not often we see a man and woman team who don't end up as partners and whilst in this case it would make sense I think it it still works with them just as friends.
Fun fact: depression does literally kill your brain, specifically the front bottom part in charge of things like memory (this is why issues with memory is a sign of depression) which is also why people who are or were depressed have a higher chance of Alzheimer’s 😅 thank gods we’re looking into ways to help the brain recover
My social anxiety and depression have both started getting so bad this year I can't even joke about it anymore. It's all getting worse, I'm forgetting to do basically everything, I'm starting to not even care anymore, I'm sorry my parents had to deal with me, it really feels like I'd rather die than try to genuinely talk to someone. I'm not sure if I even want help or not. I always thought it would never get this bad but the dominoes keep falling and time is running out. Saying or even commenting anything with actual personal emotions feels borderline impossible even to strangers.
In season 2 I want to see Brett interacting with his family, but not being able to tell them how successful he is and how he's basically one of the most powerful people on the planet now.
It's crazy to think of how much Rand hates him (I'm pretty sure he sees him as Orrin 2.0) Brett is just too adorable. Just some thoughts but, I noticed that out of all of Reagen's co-workers her dad really hates Brett in particular. The rest of her Co-workers he's indifferent to or just sees them as lesser than him and doesn't really give a shit about them but, he's actively hostile, weary of, and passive aggressive against Brett most of the time, only barely tolerating him to get something from him or from Reagan. Throughout the show whenever they're in the same room he always shoots Brett a dirty glare unless he's directly talking to him, sometimes even then. There's other subtle things too like how Brett matches the description of "lesser people" Rand gave on Orrin, or how he wants to kill anyone who's ever slept with his ex-wife (Brett had a crush on her); how he tried beating Brett to death in their fight going as far as trying to convince Reagan to be ok with it while he punched Brett's lights out (which had me in stiches) literally calling Brett an emotional support dog (which granted is low-key kind of spot on but, not for the reasons Rand thinks, he just wanted to degrade Brett and foreshadow how he sees him as lesser than.) Finding joy in Brett's pain when he called Reagan in episode 1 begging for her help. Man just thinking about it Rand really had Brett's number this season if this was Mortal Kombat story mode people would be calling Brett a Jobber and Rand his heel 🤣. I can't wait for season 2 I know we all want Reagan to stand up against her father but, Brett deserves to knock Rand's lights out if not at least punch him once. Eta: I wonder if Brett still has his nostalgia max powers would be nice to see a repressed and significantly weaker version of them dormant in him.
I think it’s because out of everyone, Brett is the person who Reagan cares about most aside from Rand. A lot of the time, abusive people try and isolate their victims so they stay dependent on them. He did this with Orrin so that Reagan would only stay focused on what Rand wanted her to focus on. Brett is essentially Orrin 2.0, since he cares a lot about Reagan, and he’s a better source of love than Rand because Brett doesn’t use her for his own selfish gain. Rand hates Brett so much because Brett had the potential of making Reagan realize how shitty Rand was being.
@@gregjayonnaise8314 That's a really good point! I want to see Brett and Reagan stand up against Rand. I wonder if subsequently Reagan will help Brett move past his own family as well, their friendship is just great. Reagan learned to open up to people easier because of her coworkers and she found a connection similar to Orrin in Brett where she can trust him and be recognized for her accomplishments. Whereas Brett learned from Reagan to be more assertive and put up boundaries between what he's willing to do for others. They're both not fully there to where they've completely resolved their issues but, it's easy to see their progress, that they are slowly getting past their previous issues. This is off topic but, when Reagan couldn't hug people, she hugged Rand and immediately punched him, afterwards in the Brettfast club she's the first one to hug Brett. Alot of people already pointed that out but, there's a line she tells rand "No, not really why do people do this?" when he asks if the hug is doing anything for her, later on she's actually smiling when she hugs Brett implying hugging him actually did something for her, and that she has formed an attachment to him. I hope we get to see Orrin in season 2 Reagan deserves to have another supportive friend in her life.
I mean, yeah. Brett is the only one in the team that genuenly likes and cares about Reagan, just like her childhood friend. He(randy) wants Reagan to be a robot pretty much, with no will other than to be like and obey Randy. He alsp doesnt want to risk her realizing how she can do way better without him
This show is pretty accurate when it come to mental health issues. Brett’s neglectful past gave him a constant need for approval to satisfy his fear of failure, to the point where he’s desperate for any sort of self identity and pretty much lies to himself to cope. Reagan’s lack of social skills, stress, and cynical view on the world all correlates to her shitty dad manipulating her into thinking she had no friends and forcing her to skip several grades. Andre is a complete anxious wreck without drugs to numb his constantly racing thoughts, which were all pretty messed up.
except with reagan if her past is correctly shown, I'm surprised she can even talk, much less be competent wnough to not just die violently by some stupid shit in her youth, much less her actually running a global corporation of the shadows
God Brett hits way too close to home, I wish someone would refute my statements when I joke about being the family disappointment, joking about it made everything hurt less but now I find it hard to feel anything and I just want someone in my family to either acknowledge it right out or tell me it's not true and that I just happen to never be around when they take family pictures and it's all in my head, just anything to escape this feeling of perpetual limbo.
Yo me too. My family never reassures me when I insult myself. If my own family can't even say anything positive about me then I tend not to believe the compliments I recieve from friends or strangers. I hope you are able to find a good friend group because family doesn't have to be related by blood!
I hope you can get away from that, sometimes family isn’t the one you’re born into but the one you find, blood isn’t always what matters and I know it’s hard to sometimes understand that but if they don’t treat you like a family should then you shouldn’t have to put up with it, I hope you can find your own family someday xx lots of love, a stranger who gets it
honestly, i hope part two goes more into everyone's mental health. like andre needs to be constantly high in order to function? grassy noel literally talked dolphman out of attempting suicide after his divorce? like cognito inc under reagan needs to hire multiple therapists.
I haven't even seen the show yet, but I ended up here while drunk so might as well start watching it. Update: I've watched it and I love it! Time to get drunk again, re-watch it and ignore reality and my own issues
As a person who was a fan of this show when it first premiered, it makes me so happy to see Brett get the love and attention he never had but definitely deserves.
I'm actually having trouble getting up for class right now die to a breakdown, and this actually gave me the push to put on some clothes and just do it. For Brett!
I’d eventually realized, Brett and Reagan are kindred souls. They both suffered an emotional and psychologically scarring childhood. They’re both broken. One is good at hiding it, and isn’t good under pressure. The other, is great under pressure when it’s time for action, but isn’t good at being “normal” socially, like Brett is. I would’ve loved to see the end of this story, and more importantly, where the two would go from here. They really did need each other, they were a great team. We also could’ve seen Raegan realize, that getting to the top of the corporate ladder, wasn’t the answer to all her problems and pain. Healing takes time. But where her dad is concerned (and maybe her mom), some bridges, you just have to burn. Raegan and Brett really did find their family. After all, misery loves company.
It's also an interesting note that his two brothers, whom the family gave much more love to than Brett ended up in rehab and military school. While the rejected child made it through an Ivy league university.
I've been considering watching this show, and this video has fully convinced me that have to Edit: I just finished it and am now sad it's over, but very excited for season 2! Brett is my favorite, and this video does a pretty good job of showing how this himbo wormed his way into my heart haha
@@IAmNecroplanter I'm assuming you're talking about episode 5, so in that case, yeah that one's great! There are some great Reagen and Brett moments, it's a good episode for both of them as characters and as BFF's. Side note, I'm glad this show actully made them friends. I was kinda worried it would be Brett chasing friendship and Reagen being dismissive and that would've been much less compelling imo. Maybe because I'm still pretty fresh from the finale, but I think that's my favorite episode, at least for now. So many feelings, but I'm mostly just left with excitement for whatever is to come next season! (This is long than I expected, but what can I say, I just finished it today and have a lot of thoughts!)
@@sapphire26 im also really glad that thats the dynamic they went for with them- it wouldve been so easy to have it be like that, or to reveal that 'brett was actually evil and reagan was right all along', vindicating her and making him the first "problem" in the series or whatever, but instead they became friends and are both actively improving eachothets lives, and i really like that! btw spill as you want this is a place for talking about things! im glad you enjoyed the show
I don’t think Brett is super dumb since he aware of his surroundings but what does it for me is the fact that he is so charismatic,sweet, and really kind!!!
so I’m not the only one who casually drops trauma into a conversation either cause it’s normal to me, for the attention, or to subtly excuse/explain my weird behavior to those around me so they don’t judge me quite as hard?

That moment when you realize he was rich but had recalled 80s toys even though he was born in the 90s because his parents didn't buy him stuff, that was just what his older siblings lefts behind
FOUL. (im crying)
It's something that can easily happen with parents who neglects their youngest kid's, i know i had the same problems except i wasn't given any privacy whatsoever on my own stuff and most of my time, meaning that my parents would often steal from my stuff or go through it without my consent just because it benefits them, to this day i both wish he had a better childhood while also envying him a little bit because i didn't even get my own corner without it being constantly trespassed, i know it's not healthy but either both sucks
I love when they had to fire somebody, Brett was so terrifying of doing something that could make someone dissaprove him that he asked if firing himself was a possibility, but Reagan says that doing it wouldn't solve the budget issue because he's technically an unpaid intern

Too close home eh?
@@victor_silva6142 "Too close to home", my guy.
Was that the dad in the background too? She slept with him?
@@SpicyFiur No, that's her father. He lives at her apartment with her.
It seems like Brett's lonely childhood gave him an obsessive need to be liked by others and he values himself based on how much he's liked by others. And it seems like Reagan's lonely childhood has made her pretty terrified of being genuinely liked/known intimately (struggling with dating, friends, etc.) and she tries very hard to NOT value herself based on how likeable she is to others.
That need to be liked is also why I think Brett struggles with feeling like he has no real personality. If you're constantly trying to bend yourself into whatever shape others like, then you HAVE no defined shape. You're never doing or thinking of anything for yourself. If the answer to "what's your favorite color?" is "whatever color will make you like me the most", then you don't actually have any answer to that question because you're too fearful of staking down an opinion that someone else might disagree with.

@@valkyria4631 fun fact, Brett and Reagan are the original definitions of extroverts and introverts. It’s not about shyness, it’s the ability to shape yourself to fit a new environment
It's really refreshing having a male character like Brett that is soft and kind. There needs to be more characters like him.
I love how Brett is so obviously not okay as the show goes on, but when we first meet him he just appears to be this simple-minded, friendly guy. Like, not to trivialize mental illness and personal struggle, but the older I've gotten the more I've realized that everyone has problems - not the "I'm behind in my studies" or "I can't get a girlfriend" problems, but more the "I never resolved my deep-seated childhood trauma where I was molested by a family friend and now I have a fear of intimacy that's damaging my personal relationships" problems. And EVERYONE has these. It really puts things into perspective.
Yes, we are all messed up in ways you can't describe!
This is absolutely true. I try to remind myself of this when I get frustrated with someone, because who knows what baggage they were carrying into my interaction with them. Helps me be more compassionate to myself as well.
Bro bretts childhood neglect leading to his attachment to the items around him and the sucking into fiction and fantasy, paired simultaneously with his need to be liked and searching for the approval he never got is so good from a character standpoint. Like of course he goes to therapy 80% of his personality is that childhood trauma and the rest is his sincere want to be good, not out of a psychological need, but just because he wants the people who make him happy to be happy too.
I feel like his connection to a material world is relatable, and idk i just love him for that
Why do I feel so attacked by this post 😰.

The denial probs gives him lots of practice.
That’s what niceness is. It’s not goodness. Liars can be nice
@@melodysimmons2302 That, and his psychological need to please everyone means he'll skirt the truth without even realising it

"Probably"? Why'd you gotta add some doubt there?
Yeah I totally thought he was just going to be a dumb jock comic relief. But he's dynamic and does in fact have a personality lol

Same!!
Its probably because he has his own faults which he is concious of while trying to deal with his childhood trauma and obvious neglect thus making him human and thus giving him a unique personality
Too bad netflix is allergic to good content and cancelled this show.
What!
It's been cancelled since 2022
@@Ilovepuppysandbuns Yeah. Netflix had a very good year. So to capitalize on that, they wanted to push their income as hard as possible to get as good numbers into the hands of stakeholders as possible.
So accountants in Netflix figured out they could cancel some shows, and get a tax return from the government which would improve their numbers up.
Yes, letting the show be produced and launching another season would make them more money, in the long run, but they didn't care about the long run, they needed money NOW, it had been a long time since Netflix had ever been on the green and they wanted to push it as hard as possible, so they axed the show to get those tax returns.

Well we don't usually get a lot of himbo characters that show the dark underbelly of living that way. Brett isn't even that likable imo, he's just real.
You could say it was an INSIDE JOB!
And as competent as him.
He's just like Fry from Futurama both mentally and physically lol
@PR12 RhodesGraveyard nah Brett's significantly more considerate/conscientious
5:27 I think what makes this even funnier (and sadder) is that no one is laughing about what he said. Andre, Glenn and Gigi all look sad for him, Reagan looks disturbed, and Myc doesn’t even crack any jokes and just says “Sheesh”, so even HE doesn’t see it as a laughing matter.
It's both. Definitely funnier and sadder. Depends how you look at it. I'd say, over time, it gets sadder.
Making self deprecating jokes is often more of a coping mechanism than something others will find genuinely funny. Oftentimes the person making the joke doesn’t even realize it. This is a good example.
Myc is sarcastic but not sadistic. He doesn't really need this job. To him this is a place to have fun and to him this sounded like a desperate call for help.
@@GrayCatbird1

He's an unintentional pariah. The man goes through just as much mental bullshit as everyone else but keeps a happy face on. He knows everyone has problems and his isn't any more special than the next person, and takes on the problems of others.
I just want to point this one out
(Spoiler for the show)
In episode 10, after bear o "neutralised" reagan's friends, Brett was still alive with reagan and her father. Supposedly bear o's next target would be brett, but he shifted his target to her father instead. Possibly bear o knows that brett is the only friend who actually makes reagan happy. Or bear o just forgot about him which is just unlikely
Or his face is so generic, that bear o cannot trace his face
I like to imagine it’s a bit of both.
@@lightschen1644 all three 🙃
I think it was because Reagan isn't unhappy with Brett (they might get a little heavy on them sometimes, but it's not something to be strongly disliked, compared to his co-workers and Rand)
I've never watched this show, but that guy needs all of the therapy.
Ha! You have no idea he definitely needs it, which honestly pls watch the series it is good
It sads me to think, after what he said. Even doctors don't know what is wrong with him, or he is so insignificant, that no one wants to actually help him.
luckily, he canonically sees a therapist!

That's what I'm saying though.
He is seeing a therapist, and yet he's still like this.
Is this all there is. Being enslaved to one's insecurities, even after seeking help?
I dunno. It brings me down.
@@Aflay1 therapy isnt a one day fix, it can take potentially years of work, and who knows how long hes been seeing his therapist?
besides, it seems his main focus in therapy is handling his social anxiety and panic attacks, immediate problems like that (and potential emotional gaslighting at work) and healthy coping mechanisms for them, and while he probably has to touch on sensitive topics, he might just not be ready to open up about all of his repressed trauma yet, so hes probably not sharing as much as he maybe should. ...its not a good idea to force someone to talk about something theyre clearly not ready to talk about yet, though. step by step, my man.
also could you imagine how much WORSE brett mustve been BEFORE he started therapy?? the brett we see in the show is probably actually an improvement on that!

It's one of those things that comes with borderline personality disorder. You're so internally convinced that you have no value that you don't even perceive a personality.

1. Brett grew up lonely and wanted friends to care about him, only to get that when he found Reagan
2. Reagan grew up with a friend and had a normal childhood, yet it was taken away from her from Rand. She had never known how much she needed a friend again, until she met Brett.

I love Brett’s character so much. I’ve never seen this type of trauma response written so well or written at all.
He’s somewhere between himbo and golden retriever and he’s a precious boi
I love this soft himbo so much and his friendship with Reagan
I did not expect to like him so much. His and Reagan’s dynamic became the heart of the show and that was a wonderful surprise.
5:16 I'm still a little disappointed at myself for not caughting on how deeply sad that was until Reagan point it out
Netflix just took this great man away from us.
1:04 that line hits *way* harder once you find out what his home life was like
I love that Brett’s accent comes through every now and then. It’s so cute >.< Im not American but to me it sounds slightly southern?
apparently brett is from georgia, which based on what i know is in the south? idk im not american either
Yes he has a slight southern accent, pretty accurate to the people who live in cities down there
Yeah it’s a really nice touch whether that’s the actual voice actor or not
I am from the south yes Georgia counts.
Idk if it's related but Clark Duke (Brett's VA) is from Arkansas
I love the friendship between those two
It’s so wholesome and Reagan really seems to take Brett’s advice seriously (even if it takes her a while to start) since by the end of S1 she has changed enough to see her dad for the monster he is
Who’s with me about all lining up in front Brett and tussling his hair approvingly and saying “Attaboy!” To make the man’s happy?
U know ur mental health is terrible if ur old frat boy friends who were actually ur bullies who r actually lizard people say wow that’s dark
Honestly, i love Reagan's and Brett's friendship, both kinda need each other. But tbh i wouldnt mind their relationship becoming romantic, either way i like them
I like that they're just friends, but I'm also shipping them super hard. It'd feel pretty organic if they fell for each other at this point since they mesh well.
To me if I ship them, I would honestly hate if it got canon. Mans prefer it to stay a headcanon tbh
They got the Leela/Fry Dynamic, except more realistic. I appreciate it, especially since we are getting new Futurama soon, so dopish dude and badass lady dynamic gonna be on demand.
I kind of like that they are just friends rather than a relationship. It's not often we see a man and woman team who don't end up as partners and whilst in this case it would make sense I think it it still works with them just as friends.
at the same time i think it'd be SUPER cute, they have sort of a big sister younger brother relationship that's been built through friendship

I'm not sure if I even want help or not. I always thought it would never get this bad but the dominoes keep falling and time is running out. Saying or even commenting anything with actual personal emotions feels borderline impossible even to strangers.
2:10 That "tonight was complicated" was said so perfectly I could watch it for hours
In season 2 I want to see Brett interacting with his family, but not being able to tell them how successful he is and how he's basically one of the most powerful people on the planet now.
Well looks like that’s exactly what happened
It's crazy to think of how much Rand hates him (I'm pretty sure he sees him as Orrin 2.0) Brett is just too adorable. Just some thoughts but, I noticed that out of all of Reagen's co-workers her dad really hates Brett in particular. The rest of her Co-workers he's indifferent to or just sees them as lesser than him and doesn't really give a shit about them but, he's actively hostile, weary of, and passive aggressive against Brett most of the time, only barely tolerating him to get something from him or from Reagan. Throughout the show whenever they're in the same room he always shoots Brett a dirty glare unless he's directly talking to him, sometimes even then. There's other subtle things too like how Brett matches the description of "lesser people" Rand gave on Orrin, or how he wants to kill anyone who's ever slept with his ex-wife (Brett had a crush on her); how he tried beating Brett to death in their fight going as far as trying to convince Reagan to be ok with it while he punched Brett's lights out (which had me in stiches) literally calling Brett an emotional support dog (which granted is low-key kind of spot on but, not for the reasons Rand thinks, he just wanted to degrade Brett and foreshadow how he sees him as lesser than.) Finding joy in Brett's pain when he called Reagan in episode 1 begging for her help. Man just thinking about it Rand really had Brett's number this season if this was Mortal Kombat story mode people would be calling Brett a Jobber and Rand his heel 🤣. I can't wait for season 2 I know we all want Reagan to stand up against her father but, Brett deserves to knock Rand's lights out if not at least punch him once.
Eta: I wonder if Brett still has his nostalgia max powers would be nice to see a repressed and significantly weaker version of them dormant in him.
I think it’s because out of everyone, Brett is the person who Reagan cares about most aside from Rand. A lot of the time, abusive people try and isolate their victims so they stay dependent on them. He did this with Orrin so that Reagan would only stay focused on what Rand wanted her to focus on. Brett is essentially Orrin 2.0, since he cares a lot about Reagan, and he’s a better source of love than Rand because Brett doesn’t use her for his own selfish gain. Rand hates Brett so much because Brett had the potential of making Reagan realize how shitty Rand was being.
@@gregjayonnaise8314 That's a really good point! I want to see Brett and Reagan stand up against Rand. I wonder if subsequently Reagan will help Brett move past his own family as well, their friendship is just great. Reagan learned to open up to people easier because of her coworkers and she found a connection similar to Orrin in Brett where she can trust him and be recognized for her accomplishments. Whereas Brett learned from Reagan to be more assertive and put up boundaries between what he's willing to do for others. They're both not fully there to where they've completely resolved their issues but, it's easy to see their progress, that they are slowly getting past their previous issues. This is off topic but, when Reagan couldn't hug people, she hugged Rand and immediately punched him, afterwards in the Brettfast club she's the first one to hug Brett. Alot of people already pointed that out but, there's a line she tells rand "No, not really why do people do this?" when he asks if the hug is doing anything for her, later on she's actually smiling when she hugs Brett implying hugging him actually did something for her, and that she has formed an attachment to him. I hope we get to see Orrin in season 2 Reagan deserves to have another supportive friend in her life.
That’s a pretty good theory! The nostalgia max can last a long time before it wears off so there must still be a little bit inside of Brett
@@gregjayonnaise8314 no he wants his daughter to date him because Brett's dad is a robe and he wants to use his daughter to gain power.
I mean, yeah. Brett is the only one in the team that genuenly likes and cares about Reagan, just like her childhood friend. He(randy) wants Reagan to be a robot pretty much, with no will other than to be like and obey Randy. He alsp doesnt want to risk her realizing how she can do way better without him
This show is pretty accurate when it come to mental health issues. Brett’s neglectful past gave him a constant need for approval to satisfy his fear of failure, to the point where he’s desperate for any sort of self identity and pretty much lies to himself to cope. Reagan’s lack of social skills, stress, and cynical view on the world all correlates to her shitty dad manipulating her into thinking she had no friends and forcing her to skip several grades. Andre is a complete anxious wreck without drugs to numb his constantly racing thoughts, which were all pretty messed up.
Does Andre have ADHD or some sort of hyperactive disorder? They rarely talk about him so it makes me wonder.
@@yuarentlucky Andre mentioned suffering from anxiety, but nothing else.
@@yuarentlucky He's a functional addict what are you on about

@Yusheng He mentioned in the wedding episode that he’s got anxiety, OCD, and Tourette’s
God Brett hits way too close to home, I wish someone would refute my statements when I joke about being the family disappointment, joking about it made everything hurt less but now I find it hard to feel anything and I just want someone in my family to either acknowledge it right out or tell me it's not true and that I just happen to never be around when they take family pictures and it's all in my head, just anything to escape this feeling of perpetual limbo.
Damn, do you think there's someone you could talk about this with?
Yo me too. My family never reassures me when I insult myself. If my own family can't even say anything positive about me then I tend not to believe the compliments I recieve from friends or strangers.
I hope you are able to find a good friend group because family doesn't have to be related by blood!
I hope you can get away from that, sometimes family isn’t the one you’re born into but the one you find, blood isn’t always what matters and I know it’s hard to sometimes understand that but if they don’t treat you like a family should then you shouldn’t have to put up with it, I hope you can find your own family someday xx lots of love, a stranger who gets it

This comment destroyed me
I was thinking the exact same thing
*proceeds to wheeze*
I’d eventually realized, Brett and Reagan are kindred souls. They both suffered an emotional and psychologically scarring childhood. They’re both broken. One is good at hiding it, and isn’t good under pressure. The other, is great under pressure when it’s time for action, but isn’t good at being “normal” socially, like Brett is. I would’ve loved to see the end of this story, and more importantly, where the two would go from here. They really did need each other, they were a great team. We also could’ve seen Raegan realize, that getting to the top of the corporate ladder, wasn’t the answer to all her problems and pain. Healing takes time. But where her dad is concerned (and maybe her mom), some bridges, you just have to burn. Raegan and Brett really did find their family. After all, misery loves company.
I hope he inspires anyone who is watching this video to finally get the therapy they need, and maybe even the therapy they think that they don't

@@IAmNecroplanter i thought you were mad at me for saying that- qwq
@@wolfietinyz sorry! :c
I've been considering watching this show, and this video has fully convinced me that have to
Edit: I just finished it and am now sad it's over, but very excited for season 2! Brett is my favorite, and this video does a pretty good job of showing how this himbo wormed his way into my heart haha
please do, you won’t regret it!
@@KarticatArchive I'm five episodes in and I'm not regretting it in the slightest!
@@sapphire26 :0! you just saw my favorite episode!! :D
@@IAmNecroplanter I'm assuming you're talking about episode 5, so in that case, yeah that one's great! There are some great Reagen and Brett moments, it's a good episode for both of them as characters and as BFF's. Side note, I'm glad this show actully made them friends. I was kinda worried it would be Brett chasing friendship and Reagen being dismissive and that would've been much less compelling imo.
Maybe because I'm still pretty fresh from the finale, but I think that's my favorite episode, at least for now. So many feelings, but I'm mostly just left with excitement for whatever is to come next season! (This is long than I expected, but what can I say, I just finished it today and have a lot of thoughts!)
@@sapphire26 im also really glad that thats the dynamic they went for with them- it wouldve been so easy to have it be like that, or to reveal that 'brett was actually evil and reagan was right all along', vindicating her and making him the first "problem" in the series or whatever, but instead they became friends and are both actively improving eachothets lives, and i really like that!
btw spill as you want this is a place for talking about things! im glad you enjoyed the show
Honestly Brett is like my type sweet kind funny and he second guesses himself
i miss this show :(
When I first saw him, I assumed he would be just another frat bro douche character. But Brett is legit a likeable, sweet, and nurturing guy.
I think I'm one of those people that are insanely attracted to dumb people...BECAUSE GOD BRETT DOES IT FOR ME!!!!
Liking himbos and bimbos is completely okay.
I don’t think Brett is super dumb since he aware of his surroundings but what does it for me is the fact that he is so charismatic,sweet, and really kind!!!
@@roxanne_ 🤘🏼😩💦❤️🔥
I may not be as attractive, but as kind, dense, and depressed as he is. Do I qualify?
@@olafgurke4699 maybe~
I honestly feel so bad for this poor dude.
This gem was kept away from us because everything else was so popular at the time.. but I'm glad I watched this, and I hope season 2 is great
I can’t wait for more Brett focused episodes 😍
he’s my favorite himbo
so I’m not the only one who casually drops trauma into a conversation either cause it’s normal to me, for the attention, or to subtly excuse/explain my weird behavior to those around me so they don’t judge me quite as hard?
no don't worry dude you're not alone on that one
Negative I do that to
Sounds like me when I was in middle school and elementary school
