this feels like when your older sibling gets caught doing some dumb shit, and your dad is sternly talking to them at the dinner table, and you're just kinda sitting there uncomfortable.
Story time. My music theory teacher is the nicest guy and everyone loves him. One day he posted an assignment to write an essay on a song that inspires you. I decided to clown a little and do it on one whole day by Dixie d’amelio. The day came when I had to play the song in class and when it was finished he just stared at me and shook his head. Then he announced “does the next person want to take this seriously?”. That is the time when I pissed off my favorite teacher. It was a low point in my life
Memes aside I do admire Anthony for showing that side of him to such a large audience, I really hope this meme doesn’t deter him from showing how he really feels about a song/ body of work.
I cant imagine having the balls to be that open and vulnerable to an audience of over a million viewers. I'm going to suppress my cynic muscles for once and say thanks for being strong enough to show your feelings, melon.
@@jacobh2147 you mean the inclination to assume people do things for selfish reasons (attention and pity in this case) and manipulation? Yes I’m aware of what it means. Your statement leads me to believe you don’t, however.
It's gotta be a really fucked up feeling, but the internet doesn't care unfortunately. It's always been that way and it'll always be that way. I really wish that weren't the case but that's the reality of it
I like how he was still a good enough sport to do the outro by memeing himself, “crying, forever”. A lot of truth is said in jest, you can tell he’s getting sick of us lol
It definitely won't. Whats great about Anthony is just how self aware he actually is and his ability to separate his actual self from the way he is represented online. He knows no one means any harm with this meme; he probably just feels a bit weird about the difference between the context this meme came from and how it is being used now.
Nah I like that because it’s light hearted and reminds of us childhood. The ones I hate are the “ I liked the review but he didn’thave to (racism or other mean stuff) 4:33
Hardly any of the memes are funny. They're always regurgitated and never original. It's especially worse when the comment section has nothing to do with the actual video and are just filled with the same stale memes. I've watched Anthony for years and I can genuinely see where people are coming from when they say his fanbase is bad. That's just my opinion, though.
@@legoyoda9782 all memes are always regurgitated and unoriginal. How funny you personally find them is more to do with how new you are to the meme and your own personal sense of humour. Fantano's fanbase is constantly growing and so there's always a new crop of people who've never seen the 'nice review except for the racist bit' joke, which keeps the meme alive. Sucks, but that's the reality.
@@samh9642 "All memes are always regurgitated and unoriginal" Ummm, no they're not? New memes come out all the time, man. Do you mean Fantano memes or memes in general? I of course know that humor is subjective, but you kinda missed my point. It's just insanely obnoxious when on *every* single Fantano video it's the same shitposts and unfunny meme formats. I understand that some may be exposed to the Fantano said a racist thing meme for the first time, but that doesn't really excuse all the Fantano drones ignoring the video topics and commenting the same shit everytime lmao.
I’m feeling more of a light to decent 4 on this one. Tran-sition. How did you feel about this meme? Did you like it did you hate it? What would you rate it? You’re the best, you’re the best. Anthony Fantano, Internet memes, uh, forever.
Anthony, thank you for a thoughtful response, and please don't let this discourage you from exposing your real feelings on your channel. Seeing that track review and your reaction deeply effected me and deepened my appreciation for a song I may not have put enough thought into otherwise. Again thank you for being you, man, keep it up.
I can't believe this many people are surprised that anthony doesn't like the 'good review but racist thing' meme. Why would you think he would like that?
I was going to write something on it, but since this video is a week old I scrolled down to see if anyone else had. I was going to write something along the same lines as you did. I totally agree with Anthony. It's so… meh, to express it in a way he could.
That meme is an inside joke passed down from when the Fader called him alt right and was completely wrong. It's fully sarcastic, and satirizing the Fader article
@@oiii3538 so you're telling me you can look at the same joke for nearly 3 years and still think that shit is new and fresh? How many years until 'nice but haha racist' is old to you? Might as well start posting doge memes again at this point
I feel bad. Reminds me of what happened to george/joji (filthy frank) when he made a video in a clearly vulnerable state and was talking about some real stuff he was dealing with, and everyone made it into a joke. Stressful shit you know, makes you feel like you can't be real with anyone. People have to put on a mask online.
exactly. imagine how shitty it would be to have to mask every real emotion you have on camera, elsewise you become a joke. and people wonder why depression is so high in celebs, sad stuff man.
I'll be honest, I assumed that the meme was making fun of the types of people that were expecting her to post stuff. I don't think anyone genuinely believes you would be crying at something so insignificant and obviously simp-ish.
Bruh the point of the video went over your head. He understands this, but just because he recognize this to be the case does not mean he finds it funny or cool. Just because something is inherently a joke doesn’t mean it’s always going to land. He’s a human being bro, it’s completely natural for him to feel weird about seeing a very vulnerable version of him self being twisted for a dumb joke. It doesn’t matter how people interpreted it.
i don’t think melon crying at a song that clearly touched him in some form of way should be necessarily memed in ways that aren’t too serious. nevertheless i do find them funny but you gotta respect Fantano’s emotions and that towards the song
I'm genuinely sad about this meme because i loved seeing you being emotional that time and i wouldn't want you to think you can't show emotions ever again. it was actually really sweet to see you cry in that moment
@Lord Takyon Yeah and people wanna change that perception you're describing, nobody wants to keep seeing the action of crying or being vulnerable as "inherently feminine", that's why we keep saying it's okay for men to cry. Me saying that i think Anthony crying was a sweet moment that he shouldn't feel bad about isn't me trying to "feminize" him, it's just me appreciating him for showing emotions because there's nothing uncomfortable about doing that, it's very human and not a "feminine thing"
I’d like to say that I found your “good news” review to be really touching. And not everyone would have had the personal confidence to put that out there, and I appreciate that you shared a vulnerable moment to a song I think a lot of us got hit hard by
This isn't Anthony not being able to take a joke. The clip was not a joke. It was him emotionally opening up. Something basically no youtubers do. And then he got clowned on for it. It's why so many youtubers feel fake. Because shit like this happens when they are real. They basically get mocked. Saying "it's just a joke" is so stupid. Because jokes can still hurt. If I came over to you and made fun of your daddy issues and pick apart everything you hate about yourself and I just say "It's just a joke" you'd still be pissed. There is a line between a joke and just being an asshole and yall mfs crossed it.

A good chance for everyone to give anthony a 10 minute break from being a joke, and treat him as a real person with a real need to be taken seriously every once in a while.
Let’s Argue: Sometimes I feel bad about the fact that 80% of Fantano’s comments are just trolls and memes. But then I see some of his reviews of my favorite albums and it pisses me off😂
I’ll really never understand why that makes people so mad. It doesn’t make you any less of a person because a popular internet music guy gave your all time favorite record a 4
The melon pulling out a "I'm not mad, I'm disappointed" move on my daddy issued ass in a video that i thought was going to be about him reacting to some tasty memes
true but not here in THIS regard, he was crying while mourning the death of Mac Miller while listening to a song off of Circles, which would be his last record ever. Mac’s struggle with depression and drugs is very unfortunate. If we make serious situations about this particular topic into memes, we as a society will become desensitized to actual people struggling with drug abuse, which will lose awareness because we’re making shit a meme. Lives aren’t being saved, we’re ok’ing a struggle.
I've only seen 1 good Fantano Crying meme and it was the end of The Caretaker's Everywhere at the End of Time Also the beginning of this video brings out "Is this your homework, Larry?" energy
Most of them aren't funny, tho. Laughing at the suffering of others might be just a coping mechanism but it sure is a damn destructive one, used by the weakest of people. It doesn't take any strength to laugh at horrible things. Acknowledging the tragic side to our existence while keeping our ability to empathize and to have hopes and dreams, now that's strength. Our modern societies are, for some reason, built on the idea that being a good person in the face of the crowd's ever-rotting, depraved nature is weakness. It's not. Quite the contrary. The ability to think and decide to be good is what makes us human.
Isabel Welsh I don’t know much about it but they apparently disbanded after a song of theirs blew up on tik tok. The song was about personal experience with sexual assault so they asked people to take down their tik toks dancing to it and they didn’t. People began harassing them so they broke up
Well, for the point about the feeling of being meme’d, I feel like once something is a meme, its not about the person being meme’d personally, its the idea of the person that is being meme’d to represent a reaction that the memebase might have. Its kind of like saying big chungus is an attack on bugs bunny for being fat.
laxquiem No, I am aware that the reason why Anthony is offended because his face is there, I am just saying this because I thought that the idea that the meme is a representation of a universal feeling, would make those feelings of connection lessen, and that it can be taken for what it is, which is an idea.
That genuine reaction to Good News was one of the most impactful videos melon's posted. I love a good meme... but this ain't one of them. Making fun of something is fine, but the context of that heartfelt moment should be kept and it kind of ruins any memes made from it. **There are also so many better crying memes to use.**
@@spreadwuvokay If you knew the context behind how sad that moment was, you'd know how emotional that was for so many people. Not just him. So you stfu bitch. People can have fucking emotions.
@@bluej3667 I literally watched that video when it dropped. I'm just sick of people morally grandstanding memes they admit to thinking were funny because Fantano gives us disappointed dad talk.
J O N A H D U R A N alright but he posted it to the internet knowing it was a public place where many can access it. If you do that I think people should be able to do whatever the fuck they want with it, ofc if it was like a private video leaked it would be different. Also are we not allowed to meme on sad things anymore?? As bo burnham says ‘tragedy will always be exclusively joked about’
@@aaronduffy2901 Not that you're wrong but it's kind of ironic that you post that in the comment section of an Anthony Fantano where almost all the comments are 20 thousand variations of that annoying ass corny "Good review but why did you say [offensive statement]" thing
I agree. It was a really special and surprising moment coming from Anthony and for people to make fun of this particular emotion doesn’t sit right with me
I disagree. I think that the review as a stand alone video is very powerful but people taking the reaction and memeing it doesn't cheapen it at all, because the real context still exists. For example, the sound of silence was written to be a particularly emotional ballad, but it has since been used in a more ironic context. The song itself still packs that punch, but when juxtaposed with something it takes on a whole different meaning of its own, in my opinion.
I saw one where you’re crying to the beat switch in frank oceans song Nights. I thought it was kinda funny ngl hahaha it doesn’t take away from the reaction to circles for me though. Watching that many months later still warms my heart. It captured how most of us were feeling about Mac. That’s what’s going to live on forever. No ones going to remember this meme in like 6 months. It’s just a silly meme. But, I can totally see why people and you would have a problem with it though.
@stephan tremblay I think it discourages open emotional expression. If pewdiepie was crying because something happened to a relative of his died or something else serious happened, he wouldn't have laughed at himself as you suggested
y’all heard him, it’s not the coolest to make memes out of a vulnerable and raw moment especially when it was because someone died. maybe let’s not do that with just this one thing
Crazy how Fantano still admitted this isn't nearly as annoying to him as the *"Great review Anthony but why did you x"* meme. I sure hope such an impactful statement will have a significant effect on Fantano's community as he directly calls us all out
I think we need to realize as a society that memes have an impact. Just because it's a "dumb" joke doesn't mean it wont effect someone. Nobody ever considers how the person involved will be effected, or how it could effect their mental state.
I have only watched a handful of your videos, pretty recently too. I just want to say that I think your a pretty level headed guy and I dunno, I appreciated that. Your honesty with some of these topics are pretty refreshing. Very cool.
You realize that "I would never cry about this" is kind of irrelevant right? Like, that's the joke. It's hyperbole. Doja Cat's boobs are not worth crying over. That's exactly the point.
All jokes aside, I greatly respect that original video you made and really appreciate that you were able to show true emotion and your feelings towards Mac’s last album he left for us.
i kinda feel bad i always thought they were funny. especially the Igor review where a comment said "great review anthony but its pronounced Igor not Nigor"
This gives a lot of a teachers ”i’m not mad i’m just disappointed ” vibes

imagine touching money at a Walmart with your bare hands during this time
everyone gangsta till the melon start crying
He must be a watermelon then
@@TheKing0fSting you stole that
This made me feel bad and I haven't even participated
The melon pulling out a "I'm not mad, I'm disappointed" move on my daddy issued ass in a video that i thought was going to be about him reacting to some tasty memes
In my opinion it makes it funnier to place a crying meme next to something you don't believe because it seems so outlandish
It’s like the joke went over his melon
ok
true but not here in THIS regard, he was crying while mourning the death of Mac Miller while listening to a song off of Circles, which would be his last record ever. Mac’s struggle with depression and drugs is very unfortunate. If we make serious situations about this particular topic into memes, we as a society will become desensitized to actual people struggling with drug abuse, which will lose awareness because we’re making shit a meme. Lives aren’t being saved, we’re ok’ing a struggle.
His emotions don't deserve to be put down like that

“I am essentially the same as Michael Jordan now” -Anthony Fantano
I've only seen 1 good Fantano Crying meme and it was the end of The Caretaker's Everywhere at the End of Time
Also the beginning of this video brings out "Is this your homework, Larry?" energy
i feel like im being scolded and i didnt even do anything

This is like showing your parents a dark meme and them just saying
That’s not funny.
Most of them aren't funny, tho. Laughing at the suffering of others might be just a coping mechanism but it sure is a damn destructive one, used by the weakest of people. It doesn't take any strength to laugh at horrible things. Acknowledging the tragic side to our existence while keeping our ability to empathize and to have hopes and dreams, now that's strength. Our modern societies are, for some reason, built on the idea that being a good person in the face of the crowd's ever-rotting, depraved nature is weakness. It's not. Quite the contrary. The ability to think and decide to be good is what makes us human.
when that happens you die inside
Yeah ikr
@@kakadu2004 E
And it's not and you feel bad about yourself
"you're doing a bad naughty thing, STOP IT." is probably going to be the next meme
Pair it next to the crying one and you have some meme gold there. 😆
About time Fantano called out the “Good review but...” meme it’s so fucking dead
And it never stopped
@@conormeehan. still hasn't
I’m really interested to hear your thoughts about the black dresses situation because this is actually somewhat similar
i was waiting for him to discuss this! its definitely an example in which memes can go too far.
What happened exactly?
Isabel Welsh I don’t know much about it but they apparently disbanded after a song of theirs blew up on tik tok. The song was about personal experience with sexual assault so they asked people to take down their tik toks dancing to it and they didn’t. People began harassing them so they broke up
nick ah wow... thanks
can't believe they pulled all their music. all gone. such a shitty situation
Well, for the point about the feeling of being meme’d, I feel like once something is a meme, its not about the person being meme’d personally, its the idea of the person that is being meme’d to represent a reaction that the memebase might have. Its kind of like saying big chungus is an attack on bugs bunny for being fat.
Exactly
laxquiem obviously it’s not an exact equivalent lol
laxquiem No, I am aware that the reason why Anthony is offended because his face is there, I am just saying this because I thought that the idea that the meme is a representation of a universal feeling, would make those feelings of connection lessen, and that it can be taken for what it is, which is an idea.
Rudy Mendoza I mean it's more than not an exact equivalency...it's just straight up not an accurate comparison
laxquiem wow you’re smart 🧐
Great review, but you didn’t have to give that off-hand comment about how you didn’t like this particular comment format
This is the only time a comment like this made me giggle
i like how well and mature he responds to things like this, this is why we love you, melon
That genuine reaction to Good News was one of the most impactful videos melon's posted. I love a good meme... but this ain't one of them. Making fun of something is fine, but the context of that heartfelt moment should be kept and it kind of ruins any memes made from it. **There are also so many better crying memes to use.**
it was the fantano sub reddit so it wouldnt make sense
I guarantee if Fantano kept quiet you'd be giggling to yourself just shut tf up
@@spreadwuvokay If you knew the context behind how sad that moment was, you'd know how emotional that was for so many people. Not just him. So you stfu bitch. People can have fucking emotions.
@@bluej3667 I literally watched that video when it dropped. I'm just sick of people morally grandstanding memes they admit to thinking were funny because Fantano gives us disappointed dad talk.
J O N A H D U R A N alright but he posted it to the internet knowing it was a public place where many can access it. If you do that I think people should be able to do whatever the fuck they want with it, ofc if it was like a private video leaked it would be different. Also are we not allowed to meme on sad things anymore?? As bo burnham says ‘tragedy will always be exclusively joked about’

@@aaronduffy2901 Not that you're wrong but it's kind of ironic that you post that in the comment section of an Anthony Fantano where almost all the comments are 20 thousand variations of that annoying ass corny "Good review but why did you say [offensive statement]" thing
That review was special in my opinion. Really said a lot about Mac Miller's impact and songwriting, and meme-ing his reaction cheapens that
I agree. It was a really special and surprising moment coming from Anthony and for people to make fun of this particular emotion doesn’t sit right with me
I disagree. I think that the review as a stand alone video is very powerful but people taking the reaction and memeing it doesn't cheapen it at all, because the real context still exists. For example, the sound of silence was written to be a particularly emotional ballad, but it has since been used in a more ironic context. The song itself still packs that punch, but when juxtaposed with something it takes on a whole different meaning of its own, in my opinion.
Is the godfather a worse movie because it created some meme formats?
I saw one where you’re crying to the beat switch in frank oceans song Nights. I thought it was kinda funny ngl hahaha it doesn’t take away from the reaction to circles for me though. Watching that many months later still warms my heart. It captured how most of us were feeling about Mac. That’s what’s going to live on forever. No ones going to remember this meme in like 6 months. It’s just a silly meme. But, I can totally see why people and you would have a problem with it though.

@Miguel Gudino The meme also implies that anthony really wanted to see doja cat
@stephan tremblay I think it discourages open emotional expression. If pewdiepie was crying because something happened to a relative of his died or something else serious happened, he wouldn't have laughed at himself as you suggested
@stephan tremblay yeah but the people making the fantano crying memes are part of fantanos fanbase. They aren't random memers
y’all heard him, it’s not the coolest to make memes out of a vulnerable and raw moment especially when it was because someone died. maybe let’s not do that with just this one thing
maggie *chalamet* oh shit forgot where this was from for a sec
Nico Dvorak Nah
The good ole can we or rather should we laugh about anything dilemma.
Crazy how Fantano still admitted this isn't nearly as annoying to him as the *"Great review Anthony but why did you x"* meme. I sure hope such an impactful statement will have a significant effect on Fantano's community as he directly calls us all out
I think we need to realize as a society that memes have an impact. Just because it's a "dumb" joke doesn't mean it wont effect someone. Nobody ever considers how the person involved will be effected, or how it could effect their mental state.
I have only watched a handful of your videos, pretty recently too. I just want to say that I think your a pretty level headed guy and I dunno, I appreciated that. Your honesty with some of these topics are pretty refreshing. Very cool.
You realize that "I would never cry about this" is kind of irrelevant right? Like, that's the joke. It's hyperbole. Doja Cat's boobs are not worth crying over. That's exactly the point.
anthony: cries
instagram: meme time
Lmao new Gunna album was so lame he talked about a video of him crying for longer
All jokes aside, I greatly respect that original video you made and really appreciate that you were able to show true emotion and your feelings towards Mac’s last album he left for us.
