@@LEGOSquidwardPaintingdude, you're literally just repeating the same thing they said just with different wording. You're arguing just to argue. Stop.
As an autistic person myself, I’m proud of you. I’ve been watching your channel since secondary school and still follow you today. Nobody’s a perfect saint or the best content creator but we use our mistakes to learn and to quote Meet the Robinsons, “Keep moving forward”.
Speaking of Disney, once he live streams again, I want to ask him what he thinks of animat and a lot of other peoples opinion that Chicken Little helped save Disney.
Fun Fact: Crimson Mayhem, the Editor mentioned at 23:13 has seen this Video and stated on Twitter that he forgives Enter. Good to know that it has already made a positive impact.
In the past, I used to hate you, until I grew out of it and decided to give you another shot. Seeing that you're able to take the good with the bad and not be afraid to confront the past while poking fun at it demonstrates some good character on your part. Everyone's human, and I'm glad you're willing to be open about your mistakes. True positivity is about finding the good in the bad and persevering.
@@yusifudo46 This was back when Enter was initially popular and had more control over popular opinion; he basically shaped certain attitudes I felt were unjust. But overtime my philosophy changed and I matured some.
He really HAS grown and improved as a person, but sadly there are plenty of idiots who turn a blind eye to that to keep accusing him of shit he stopped doing YEARS ago. People on the internet LOVE doing that to anyone they don't like, in an attempt to discredit or slander them. I'm glad you acknowledged this, I think you've *also* grown, too. You know something I really find ironic? The same people who demand others change, are not only the ones who never *acknowledge* when they get what they want and their victims *do* change in a positive way, but they *themselves* are guilty of never changing, specifically *because* they refuse to acknowledge other people improve, and keep spouting their outdated opinions instead of updating their worldview to reflect the newer information and improvement in the character of others. I'm sure you find that hilariously ironic too.
@WinVirsten most people who hate Enter aren't the same people who hated him from years ago. They're Tumblr types who hate him now, it was edgy 4chan types who used to.
One thing I've always respected Mr. Enter for is his honesty. Even when I think something he says is fundamentally wrong or stupid, I can always count on him to be honest with his opinions. It's something he rarely falters on, and Animated Atrocities has given us a pretty good timeline of his opinions and how they've grown and changed.
Facts. For Admirable Animations, I can imagine the next episode being the Ultimate Muscle one (one of the few legitimately divine Diamonds we can find from 4Kids because of well, believe it or not, this is one of the best and sweetest English Dubs that we can get from them).
One thing I appreciate about Enter is, despite his mistakes, shortcomings, and controversies, he is able to grow as a person, and has shown proof of that over the past decade. Sure, he's not perfect, and I don't agree with everything he says, but when is that the case? He's human, and he makes human errors, and that's okay. (Run-on sentences lol)
If only most people these days could remember a concept as simple as this, especially when nowadays false accusations are wildly thrown around the air about how "everyone is prejudice and hateful" and all sorts of vile crap. Yes, there are people who are total monsters and are far beyond saving, but the majority of most people are good hearted people, most people are human, humans have shortcomings and make mistakes, and mistakes are just that - mistakes. Nobody is hateful or prejudice, just dumb and don't know any better, it should never be that hard to understand that nor there is no excuse not to forgive it.
@@koichidignitythief7429 This isn't an "apology" video. In apology videos, the creator does nothing but beg for forgiveness. This is a video of a man owning up to his mistakes and wanting to move on, which we all should.
@Koichi, Dignity Thief : "This guy keeps making mistakes, he's completely irredeemable." Yeah everyone makes a lot of mistakes. It's called being human.
After a decade on TH-cam, I’m glad to see you reflect on the missteps through your career, shows definitive growth, wish I hope to see you continue with .
It’s great that you acknowledge your own faults. For a while, I was mad at you for certain things you were involved in. But knowing that you do actually see your flaws makes me think better of you as a creator, a critic, and a person. Good video John!
Enter I've been watching you since I was 12. I was a frumpy tween who hated the newer spongebob episodes and I guess I wanted some vindication over that, leading me to watching your reviews. I started slowly getting into your other videos as well and I watched you improve. I watched your style and your editing and your avatar change many times. This decade has not been a good one for me mentally. I have had very difficult moments where I thought I couldn't even go on. I'd watch your videos just to take my mind off something. They're not important to my mental health, but they have comforted me in an odd way and kept me going. They've inspired me to create my own stories, and to even attempt drawing and story telling. I have dreams, even if they probably won't come to a completion, I can still hope. I am 21 now. I will be turning 22 this may. I have finally started to work on some of my goals and started some things in my life. I am now at what I can call "recovery" from severe depression, and I can't believe I can look back and realize just how long I've been watching you. You have kept going despite all of your controversy and flaws, and that gives me some hope for myself. Congratulations, and Thank you.
Same. I started watching him back when the Squidward Torture Porn video came out and it popped up in my recommendations when watching videos of newer SpongeBob being criticized. I loved his bluntness at the time though certainly thought he went too far in some areas. I’ve watched other videos of his and watched him grow and be a more mature person. Can’t believe he’s been doing this for 10 years. I love his videos and will always support his channel.
Same started watching cartoon reviews at 12 and Mr. Enter was one of the earliest cartoon reviewers I've watched. Honestly seeing his channel is then to where he is now is an experience I'm glad I didn't miss out on
Such mad respect for making a top ten about critiquing your past mistakes, and doing an analysis on why they are horrid. It takes bravery to open up about your mistakes, something that even I fail to realize, but it’s important to not ignore them in order to improve. We are human and we are flawed by nature. I’m glad I stuck around for you, Enter, because I knew deep down you always wanted to do your best to improve and share opinions. Take care, John.
dang dude, you've gone through a really interesting character arc. i haven't kept up with your content too consistently but seeing how you've matured is really impressive. it takes a lot to take such a long, good look at your mistakes and not come out of it bitter. good on ya, man, youve come a long way!
@@SergioLeonardoCornejo I'd have to agree, if you know yourself better with time you're less likely to make any grave mistakes. Mistakes in general aren't bad but it's good to recognize when you screw up so it's less likely to happen again.
We all make mistakes. But it’s those mistakes that help us learn and grow. Even through the things you’ve done, I’ve still cared and supported you the whole way! You rock, Mr. Enter! Keep up the good work!
We all have had to deal with our issues as best as we can. I always believed you to be someone who never wants to actively hurt or bring misery to others, and this video just reinforced that. Wishing you all the best, here's hoping the future is brighter for you.
I'm honestly proud of how far you've come along I've stuck around pretty much since your first animated atrocity and I've always admired how you take previous mistakes as learning experiences and have shown to improve from learning from those mistakes. As my fortune cookie yesterday said and I kid you not "A man who's never made any mistakes has never lived life." Kudos to you Mr. Enter, and happy 10th anniversary!
Nobody can blame you for having bad takes. What people can blame you for is being shown why those takes are bad and not changing in the face of new information. You taking the time and changing, while also acknowledging those bad takes is really good. I’m glad you didn’t spiral.
I am so proud of the way you are improving as a content creator and a human being. I have been watching you for several years now and always have been fond of how real you are about your opinions, how honestly you have been expressing yourself, how raw your emotions have been. You have always been a good youtuber but now, with the amount of self reflection you are doing it is only up from here.
One thing I've always appreciated about this channel is that you always seem to be growing and learning. There are stumbles and screw-ups, but I never get the impression that you aren't trying to do better each day. Sure, videos I thought were fine enough three years ago don't hold up in the same way, but if I'm being real, a lot of what *I* did three years ago seemed okay at the time but was actually either cringey or just bad. Keep improving. You've been improving, and that's a wonderful thing
Yeah, I've been subscribed since the early age of this channel, I've grown a lot alongside it, and one of the thing I always appreciated the most is that, in the end, he always addresses his fuck ups, never makes excuses for them, and always tries to learn from them going forward. From a quality standpoint, this is probably the most inconsistent channel I'm still subbed to, but the good is really good and the bad never goes unaddressed forever

i actually think that these old bad videos should remain up just with a disclaimer at the beginning that explains that they are dated and no longer reflect your current views kind of like what warner bros does when they release controversial old cartoons from the 40s on new formats so that instead of just burying past mistakes we can look back and learn from them
Takes a lot of growth to make a video like this. And what a way to celebrate your anniversary. It’s good to see someone reflecting on their career and learning from it
Agreed, they take it too seriously and never get tired of beating that deceased equine that's nothing but a pile of mush at this point, like with number 5 for example... (And I ain't just talking about comments either)
Being able to admit your mistakes is how you grow. Which is why I consider you one of the best TH-camrs on the platform. No matter what people say. Also, as someone who loves all your worst cartoons of the decade vids, I would love a remake of the 2000's one!
I'm glad you're acknowledging your missteps and trying to grow as a person. I missed this Mr enter and I'm glad he's back. This feels like the old Mr enter I watched in high school
10 years. Congratulations man. I started watching you in 2019, after Phantom Striders collaboration with you. I myself was not in a healthy situation, or healthy place. During 2020 I was in a state of just going day by day, constant fear of someone coming to my door. Your videos, old and new, helped me. Even in the ones you were ranting and angry in, like Elf Bowling and Patrick's a Prick, I would rewatch because it felt calming. To see someone that sounded angry, helped put mind to rest, to see I was not the only mad one who had those feelings in the world. They made me laugh, made me smile with joke you would squeeze in. It helped me escape. They inspired me to look more into animation and writing, which is now what I try to do. Today I'm doing better. I have a support network, I don't live in fear, and I'm still here watching. What I have to say is thank you, and I can wait to see you go up from here. Happy 10 year anniversary John. Here is a cookie if you read this. 🍪
Mr. Enter, I have been a loyal viewer of yours for a very long time. I've seen the ups, I've seen the downs, and I've stuck with you through it all. Even your worst videos have gotten me through some tough times. I've seen a lot of creators I once adored become worse over time. Their content may become shinier or more polished, but the heart is lost or they begin to focus on the wrong things and alienate their audience. I think the opposite happened to you. You've improved so much with time and the force that endeared me to your videos originally has only become stronger. You're kind of one of my heroes. I'm autistic and I often find myself making mistakes, especially social or behavioral mistakes. In watching you, I've grown to realize that I have control over my actions and that I can change. Just like you've grown and improved, I can as well. I respect you not just as a funny man who reviews cartoons, but as a person who's done something I really hope I can do as well. Thanks for everything. Here's to another 10 years. -Conner
Back in august 2020 I was almost killed by the original strain of covid. I was 25 years old, there were no vaccines or immunisations. There wasn’t even a guarantee that I would live. Cardiac arrest, pneumonia and a week in intensive care led me to believe that my life was genuinely coming to an end before I even had a chance to do anything meaningful with my life. Then I saw your videos talking about the pandemic and not only was I insulted, I felt invalidated. I felt that I was merely an inconvenience and that for people like me to die was merely to be a minor inconvenience to a society all to eager to go back to the way things were. A speed bump in the road. It was hurtful, it broke my spirit to see collective humanity push the vulnerable to the front and say, it’s okay, these people don’t matter to us that much , you can take them. So I thank you from the bottom of my heart for owning up the things you said in your videos. It takes a lot of guts to admit when you’re wrong and I have the utmost respect for you for doing so. Stay on the right track Mr Enter, you’re growing as a creator and more importantly as a person. Not everybody in this world gets a second chance, I hope you make the most of it.
I came back to this channel the other day because I was nostalgic for your old videos that I watched a lot in middle school (2013-2016). I revisited the admirable animations series and reminisced on how interesting they were to me. You kinda introduced me to the world of media criticism and critique. Even now I sometimes hear your words in my head when I think of things like Samurai Jack or The Mask (Courage) or Helga on the Couch. I stopped following you as closely sometime when I was in high school. Then the pandemic hit and then I got diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer in July 2020. Mask wearing was VERY IMPORTANT to me since I was going through chemotherapy at the time which made me very immunocompromised and my dad still had to leave the house for work and I had doctors appointments to attend all the time. Then I heard about your opposition to mask wearing. I understand that masks can be very uncomfortable and I (probably) don’t have autism so I can’t know what wearing a mask is like with a condition that affects how things feel. But it probably saved my life. I didn’t see you the same way after that. I think after the original turning red review I realized that I was still subscribed and unsubscribed. But I think the dust has mostly settled so I decided to look back and I watched this video. I remember your old Top 10 Mistakes video from back in the day and I found it very admirable that you were able to admit your mistakes like that and it’s admirable that you did so again. The pandemic drove a lot of us to some awful dark places, myself included. We were all scared and isolated and unsure of what to do. That doesn’t excuse anything but it explains it. I appreciate this video a lot, Mr. Enter. It shows that you’re still willing to own up to your mistakes and poor choices, which I don’t see enough in people. We all make mistakes and make poor choices and say things we later regret. But it takes integrity to admit when you’re wrong. I respect you a lot, Mr. Enter. I did when I was 12 and I do now at 22. Thank you for this video and thank you for the insightful and interesting reviews. You’re back in my good graces and you’ve earned a subscriber back. I’m looking forward to what you’ll do next. Also for what it’s worth, I still like your Helga on the Couch video even if it’s not really a “review.”
I really appreciate how genuine you've become over the years. As someone who's struggled with depression and who was similarly broken by the pandemic, I relate to a lot of this.
It's important to acknowledge your past faults as they show just how much you've changed for the better. I still love your videos and will continue to see where you go :3
Looking back, despite the amount of controversy you’ve been in over the years, I’m glad to see you’ve improved so much as not only a TH-camr but as a person.
Tbh you’re right about the tone part of your pandemic videos but I still think the points were solid and you helped me feel like I wasn’t losing my mind so thank you for that. As a fellow aspie I appreciate the kindred spirit.
It really takes a lot to own up to your mistakes. It takes even more to do it in a video for everyone around the world to see and hear. I respect Mr. Enter for doing something like this.
I do feel like looking back at your past like this and acknowledging how badly you messed up is a healthy way to move forward. While you have done a lot wrong, I genuinely do not think you're a bad person, Enter. I can see that you have changed and want to move to greener pastures. Happy (early) 10 year anniversary, John Enter. And here's to a brighter future.
lol you brought up Elf Bowling as one of your dishonorable mentions but that's actually my favorite Animated Atrocities video of all time because of how angry you were 😂😂😂
MrEnter regrets putting Elf Bowling as a dishonorable mention He says in one of his posts in his new DeviantArt account reviewing his first 100 animated atrocities videos He said it's just the audio being too loud for him that spooked him Personally, i also really like that video.
This was absolutely one of your best videos to date! I've been watching you for various years, Mr. Enter. Through good and bad. Regardless of what others thought of you, or your past mistakes, I always enjoyed your video because I could really feel your passion in them, even if it were wasn't always used correctly... Something about your videos always felt real and, weirdly comforting. I'm glad you're doing well and seeking to constantly better yourself, but I hope that passion you clearly have for what you do never fades. Regardless of adversity, you've made your mark on not just this site, but on the lives of many. Be it memes, genuine, life-altering perspectives, or just through some good ol' fashioned entertainment. I believe you've done far more good than what moments like these show. You're doing good, Mr. Enter. Keep it up!
so, as someone who also absolutely isn't the most...mentally well person, i really enjoyed this video i see a lot of myself in your personality and your content, and i (as well as pretty much everyone) has made some insane mistakes in the past and i'm really happy to see someone who i've watched for so long, and who i see myself in so much, adress, learn from and move past the mistakes they've made it inspires me, and quiets that little voice in my head that says "you've fucked up forever, you'll never change, this is you" thank you mrenter, for showing me that i can be self aware, despite the crater my mind can be
Failure is the greatest teacher. As long as you learn from it, everything you go through is worth it. After watching you for 10 years man, I can say that you have improved. Can’t wait to see what you do next!
This video was difficult to watch, and I can only imagine how difficult it was to make. I’ve been watching your videos for a while, and enjoying them all that time, flaws and all. I know what it’s like to be aware of all the mistakes you’ve made. I hate myself for all kinds of things sometimes, big and small, far more than I would hate someone else if they made the same mistakes. It’s all too easy to be too hard on oneself. As someone from the outside looking in, I think you’re doing great. You’ve been through a lot and made mistakes, and done your best to atone for them and move forward better. Everyone makes mistakes, everyone does things they regret. It’s human. I sincerely hope things get better for you and that you heal from the years that have gone by. You are a good person, and I wish you all the best
Being able to reflect on your past actions and improve is a good thing. This is probably my favourite video on the channel just because it’s nice to see people critiquing their past selves and learning to improve. Good job on this video.
I respect that you were able to admit your mistakes from older videos. I do want you to know that I feel you've improved a lot as someone who is familiar with your older videos as well. Admitting the need to change and changing are both very difficult things to do and I applaud you for it. I'm sure many people can relate to how you felt during the pandemic's early years, I know I personally felt extremely depressed during that time and am still dealing with a lot of anxiety with the whole ordeal. Anyway, Happy anniversary Mr.Enter! Looking forward to seeing what the future of your channel has in store!
Mad respect to a dude who can roast himself. Also, I feel like because that was the "brand" you unintentionally started out with, that's what became popular. For the Indiegogo thing, "all of the red flags just look like flags." And as for the requesting video, yeah - gotta agree that one was a little harsh... ...one more thing...wow, it is an accomplishment on Rebecca's part to fuck up editing so irreversibly that there are still traces of it in your past work. I'm impressed.
Just want to say, really great video. Despite the amount of flaws you had throughout the decade, I respect you for your inmense genuinity, honesty and humanity. You've encountered obstacles, you made mistakes, yet you proved on improving them and on realizing you made said mistakes. You're one of the most interesting and passionate content creators I know, and despite all of the troubled reception and rough history that you came across your career, I will never be ashamed of supporting you man. Happy 10 years Enter.
As a long time fan, this video was really great to see and surprising. I know you own your mistakes as I've seen it over and over, but seeing you talking about everything at once and even about things I didn't even know about, it felt mature, and I really hope the people who hate you see this, I hope they can understand that people do dumb things, and people can change for the better. Happy 10 Years Mr Enter, good luck in the future, I'll be here!
"Every day I get a little bit wiser, and realize that yesterday i was a complete idiot." Shows a lot of humility to take a critical look at yourself and bring it to light rather than just shoving it behind you. About #1: people can make mistakes for many reasons. And I'm sure you'd agree with me when I say that those who willingly turn their backs on what they believe in purely out of fear of something else don't *fully* believe in those things as much as they thought they did, or that they let other things take precedence. To quote Kennedy: "Forgive your enemies, but *remember their names* ." 37:05 "It was never my place to talk about any of this to begin with" Dood, you were talking about YOUR LIFE, you shouldn't feel forced to "shut up" about it; It IS good to vent out your frustrations, and I can understand why "expressing personal feelings" might not be a good "professional move". But bottling up those feelings without some kind of outlet would've made you WORSE. Hard topics require asking hard questions from multiple angles. If you want to have a "more personal" channel, or Patreon exclusives, then that would be a great place for them. But don't feel ashamed for WHY you made them.
Mr. Enter, as a fellow autistic person, I’m so so proud of you for being able to reflect and give your past self criticism. That’s a skill that only mature people have and is something I wish I could do as well as you have.
Honestly, the people who still decide to hate you after your acknowledgement and apologies for the bad takes you had in the past, they're just hating to hate 🤷 You know what you said back then was wrong, and you acknowledged that. What more do they want from you?? A bouquet of flowers? Jesus 🙄 Good on you for the video! I'm happy for you, keep up the good work!
UnfortunateIy, there *are* ppI who cIaim that his apoIogy is "too Iate". How sad. Let's hope this won't get in the way of Enter's career nor stopping him to grow and move forward
@@thevoiceofreason9797The sad thing is that I think it’s already ruined his career. He hasn’t made a video that broke 100k views since his Horrid Henry video, and he hasn’t made a video that passed his sub count since his Teenage Kraken/Elemental/Wish video.
It really touched me how he wasn't just embarrassed of his past mistakes for the higher entries he felt genuine shame and remorse. It really shows how much he cares about his work to the level where he really wishes he never made it not because of how poorly it held up but because of how harmful his off-hand or condescending remarks could be
Regarding your #2 review, I'm glad that you acknowledged your fault in this. I've seen many other creators audiences go and harass someone, and when called out on it just say: "I never told them to harass this person." It's clearly something you did wrong which caused your audience to act this way. You did mention in your 2018 Talking about my Online Harassment video that it should've been obvious that you never said specifically for the people you've shown on screen they should be harassed, but you also acknowledged your part in this. When you show names of people and say stuff like: "these people should be ashamed of themselves and blacklisted from animation," it should be obvious that someone out there would think it's okay to harass them. As for your Pandemic videos, no, I don't think it's a cop-out one bit to tell people if your opinions have changed at all. The U.S. in particular has an awful habit of making things political when they aren't, and it constantly brings out the worst in people, which is one of many things other countries rightfully look down on us for. Here's to a good future for all of us, you included.
This is why I love you, Enter. You're not afraid to admit when you make mistakes. And you apologize for them. And you learn from them. I've been watching since your Patrick's a Prick countdown, and I've watched you grow since then. Keep being awesome, Mr. Enter!
I really like when TH-camrs do these kind of vids. It shows they grow as a person and are self-critical. Also it's very nice and self-assuring knowing other people also cringe at their past selves 😁
21:04 this one in particular fascinated me there is a valid underlying complaint that the setting should matter when creating a piece of media and it should be more than just an aesthetic. but it was the worst possible specific example to use for that issue it kind of reminds me of when a gaming critic named george wood said that in the future there should be a tomb raider game about lara croft getting breast cancer. the underlying idea was that female charaacters in games open up story ideas based on the female experience which can be agreed with, the example given for that was so bad that it is legendarily awkward and hilarious.
Honestly I hope to see remakes of your older videos with renewed thoughts and see if any of your thoughts have changed. I think you definitely hit a stride in terms of editing and audio quality. Despite controversy you have only improved and looking back on your past is a great way to grow
This video is amazing. I've been watching Mr. Enter for a long time, and he's improved so much. it's clear he's not only grown as a creator but as a person. I have an incredible amount of respect for him and this video. Mistakes were made, and some of them were pretty big. But instead of getting defensive, which would be so easy to do, he's owning them and growing, and that's awesome to see. I'm looking forward to the future of his channel. Mr. Enter, I wish you nothing but the best.
Love how much effort was put into this. Most people would want to get something like this over as quickly as possible, but everything in this video is articulated really well and the number transition is one of my favorites
Can't believe it's been 10 years. I remember when some of those 2013 ones came out and it really doesn't seem like that long ago. I was 13 in 2013 and I am glad to have grown with you.
I've been watching since the MLP days, I've always enjoyed your videos. In many ways, I was an angry and depressed teen back then, and I enjoyed watching someone else be angry about something. I've grown a lot since then, and I'm glad that you did too. The thing I enjoy most nowadays is your ability to own up to your mistakes and grow and improve. Cheers.
Been about 6 years I believe that I’ve been with Enter And every time something happened I knew that he’d try to be better, did he still fail sometimes sure but that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t try again And that’s all you ask of someone you don’t personally know but have faith in
I’m actually glad that he did this. It takes guts it admit your faults especially as a TH-camr. So way to go. Also I’m very excited for your new Nick-O-Rama reviews later in the year. That (like you) deserves a redemption.
Hey. I’ve been a fan on and off and I just watched your vid all the way through and I wanna say that while you’ve been a huge source of comfort for me during the worst years of my life. I don’t know why and I can’t begin to explain it, but when I was extremely depressed borderline suicidal in like 2017-2018 and then again in 2020-2022 I would rewatch your videos and just have them on in the backseat. They helped me through really hard times and to see you not only owning up your mistakes, but correcting them too is amazing. Happy 10 years, and here’s to 10 more ❤️.
been here since 2013, it's weird knowing that I basically *grew up* on this content. it was a constant in my life and actually a huge comfort for me. and (for the most part) I defended a lot of your opinions on things. but i mainly used your videos as background noise for all the time, and I'm really happy to see you acknowledge your past and apologize, seeing you strive to become a better person is actually rather comforting, especially *because* it's something from my past I have genuine fond memories of. sorry for getting all parasocial but I'm really happy for you and this new direction that you're taking and I'm happy to stick around for the future of this channel!
I LOVED your tentacolino video. I am glad you are growing as it’s really hard to look back on our former selves, but that video had me in tears laughing!
If it helps, with the pandemic videos, your key point, that mental health wasn't being looked after enough, was true. You might have said everything around that point badly, you might have dismissed the physical health side, but even at the time, it was clear they were coming from a place of deep pain, not an attempt to deny the pandemic, just a lashing out against the ways the pandemic response deeply hurt people, even if there wasn't a better choice. Now, it wasn't a particularly well-thought-out lashing out, and for people who weren't suffering as badly it might have encouraged them to unsafe behaviours - but I don't think that was your intent. However, as someone who was living in a one-bedroom flat (apartment) in Scotland, where the lockdown only allowed a maximum of one hour a day outside the house for months, with a bed needing replaced that I couldn't get replaced; with things breaking in the flat that I wasn't able to get fixed, you were the only person I saw that made me feel seen, even if it was mixed up with a load of bad takes. This was a bold video, pointing out your flaws. But I hope you know that even in those flaws, you did have some strengths. Be introspective. But don't let it turn into self-hatred.
The big thing that kept me a fan of your work was that you could and would acknowledge your mistakes and work to better yourself. Here's to a good 2023.
I think the thing that keeps me following your channel is your honesty. Even when a certain cartoon isn't that interesting, or a video isn't that good, or I don't agree with your opinion, it's always interesting to hear what you have to say. Of course, this includes owning up to your mistakes, which is very admirable. Best of wishes.
Taking the piss outta one's self is my favorite genre. I have respect for someone who looks back on their mistakes, owns up to them, and, most importantly, makes the effort to improve for the future. This is why, while I may or may not agree with your takes, I always have respected your honestly and your drive to keep moving forward. I've been watching since 2014, and I'll still keep tuning in.
The fact that you are able to recognise these flaws in your past and your present, acknowledge and accept them, and still not throw in the towel is inspiring. Unlike many creators in a similar position, you have always felt like a real person. Someone I could talk to and even befriend, because you stumble and stagger. But you never stopped trying, and therein lies your strength. Here's to another ten years, MrEnter, and all the ups and downs they will bring.
I haven't watched your videos in years, so I don't know anything about the dramas, but the "I took this show too seriously"/"I didn't understand it was satire"/"I tried to understand it" phrases are way too relatable
Happy anniversary man, I'm a fan since 2013. I came for the MLP reviews, and stayed for the rollercoaster ride which has been your channel. While at times I disagreed with how you handled things or your takes or whatever, I always came back to your channel because I had to know what wild, wacky thing you would say next. But I ended up watching you evolve over time, and I stopped laughing so much at how tone deaf past Enter could be, and laughing at your actual jokes. I love technocracy and I love the videos where you talk about old animation! I don't have a problem with you "taking cartoons too seriously" and didn't understand that criticism in particular but that's what I actually really like about this channel. I have respect for you, you're a pretty cool human, especially for owning up to all of your past grievances in the style of your list videos. I look forward to seeing you grow even more.
The pandemic videos were very helpful to me at that time, they actually help me to see the world wasnt ending; that our actitud toward the virus was worst than the virus itself; you inspire me to make my own research and to share and discuss my findings with people that were in panic at the time. I genuinely thank you for that videos, it was part of what lead to save my bussiness and my mental health and some of my friends, colleages and family too.
I appreciate your honesty to us and yourself. I tuned out of my tight and enthusiastic following of your work specifically due to the first two pandemic videos. I kept my old favorites from you as ocassional crafting background noise but I would not call myself a fan anymore. My life was set on a path to its ruins and I lost everything I made in the years prior. A past favorite creator of mine saying the measures I hoped would defend me were senseless, cut deeply. I'm sorry you were saying those things because the pandemic hurt you too. I hope to soon be able to forgive return to watching your new content. And I wish for you to find a way to heal those wounds. Thank you and congratulations on 10 years of creating content!
I started watching your content eight years ago, WAY back when Top Ten Squidward Torture Porns was trending. And honestly, I found your content refreshing. Even back then, it seemed like everyone was angry about what the world was coming to, and I felt that in a big way. Watching your videos made me feel like I wasn't alone in being angry, and that helped me through my first few years coming out of high school. It was a really unhappy time for me, and Animated Atrocities was like being able to vent my anger to a friend or coworker. But as I got a handle on my life, your anger started to alienate me, and I wound up unsubscribing after your first pandemic video (which you probably don't blame me for). HOWEVER, I started watching your videos again when Top Ten Worst Spongebob Episodes went up. The humility you showed really brought me back in. I didn't resubscribe, though. I still felt like the magic was gone. But the videos that came afterwards slowly but surely proved me wrong. And as of this video, I'm subscribed again. I honestly admire how much you've grown. It reminds me of how much I'VE grown in the past 8 years, and how I still have a long way to go. So, my advice to both of us is to keep going. Because no matter what you believe, a large component of "the meaning of life" (or whatever you wanna call it) is bettering yourself.
"Cringe TH-camr I revisit after 7 years is based now" is one of my favourite character arcs.
He really isn't based
@@rumblebird9888He's way better than he used to be
@@LEGOSquidwardPaintingdude, you're literally just repeating the same thing they said just with different wording. You're arguing just to argue. Stop.
@@tibby4503tibby, we meet again :)
As an autistic person myself, I’m proud of you. I’ve been watching your channel since secondary school and still follow you today. Nobody’s a perfect saint or the best content creator but we use our mistakes to learn and to quote Meet the Robinsons, “Keep moving forward”.
Facts.
Keep moving forward indeed.
Speaking of Disney, once he live streams again, I want to ask him what he thinks of animat and a lot of other peoples opinion that Chicken Little helped save Disney.
I would bet that a major chunk of Mr Enter viewers are on the spectrum (me too).
He didn’t answer my questions, that’s it! I’m not going to watch him anymore.
Fun Fact: Crimson Mayhem, the Editor mentioned at 23:13 has seen this Video and stated on Twitter that he forgives Enter. Good to know that it has already made a positive impact.
In the past, I used to hate you, until I grew out of it and decided to give you another shot. Seeing that you're able to take the good with the bad and not be afraid to confront the past while poking fun at it demonstrates some good character on your part. Everyone's human, and I'm glad you're willing to be open about your mistakes.
True positivity is about finding the good in the bad and persevering.
Now that’s what I call a character arc!
What made you hate him?
@@yusifudo46 This was back when Enter was initially popular and had more control over popular opinion; he basically shaped certain attitudes I felt were unjust. But overtime my philosophy changed and I matured some.
He really HAS grown and improved as a person, but sadly there are plenty of idiots who turn a blind eye to that to keep accusing him of shit he stopped doing YEARS ago. People on the internet LOVE doing that to anyone they don't like, in an attempt to discredit or slander them.
I'm glad you acknowledged this, I think you've *also* grown, too.
You know something I really find ironic? The same people who demand others change, are not only the ones who never *acknowledge* when they get what they want and their victims *do* change in a positive way, but they *themselves* are guilty of never changing, specifically *because* they refuse to acknowledge other people improve, and keep spouting their outdated opinions instead of updating their worldview to reflect the newer information and improvement in the character of others.
I'm sure you find that hilariously ironic too.
@WinVirsten most people who hate Enter aren't the same people who hated him from years ago. They're Tumblr types who hate him now, it was edgy 4chan types who used to.
One thing I've always respected Mr. Enter for is his honesty. Even when I think something he says is fundamentally wrong or stupid, I can always count on him to be honest with his opinions. It's something he rarely falters on, and Animated Atrocities has given us a pretty good timeline of his opinions and how they've grown and changed.
As Tim Curry once said, "Well, we all make mistakes."
And the fact you are owing up to them is worthy of respect.
Also Happy Anniversary Mr. E.
Facts. For Admirable Animations, I can imagine the next episode being the Ultimate Muscle one (one of the few legitimately divine Diamonds we can find from 4Kids because of well, believe it or not, this is one of the best and sweetest English Dubs that we can get from them).
Hehehe you called him mr E. 😂😅😊
One thing I appreciate about Enter is, despite his mistakes, shortcomings, and controversies, he is able to grow as a person, and has shown proof of that over the past decade. Sure, he's not perfect, and I don't agree with everything he says, but when is that the case? He's human, and he makes human errors, and that's okay.
(Run-on sentences lol)
If only most people these days could remember a concept as simple as this, especially when nowadays false accusations are wildly thrown around the air about how "everyone is prejudice and hateful" and all sorts of vile crap. Yes, there are people who are total monsters and are far beyond saving, but the majority of most people are good hearted people, most people are human, humans have shortcomings and make mistakes, and mistakes are just that - mistakes. Nobody is hateful or prejudice, just dumb and don't know any better, it should never be that hard to understand that nor there is no excuse not to forgive it.
He never grows. How many times is he going to make public apology videos only to not learna damn thing?
I’m afraid I’d disagree
@@koichidignitythief7429 This isn't an "apology" video. In apology videos, the creator does nothing but beg for forgiveness. This is a video of a man owning up to his mistakes and wanting to move on, which we all should.
@Koichi, Dignity Thief : "This guy keeps making mistakes, he's completely irredeemable."
Yeah everyone makes a lot of mistakes. It's called being human.
After a decade on TH-cam, I’m glad to see you reflect on the missteps through your career, shows definitive growth, wish I hope to see you continue with .
@@wuscheleichhornchen Guess they just don’t feel regretful enough about that kind of stuff as enter does .
@@wuscheleichhornchen Your point?
hey, you're the guy who gave caddicarus the george of the jungle game
@Wüschel Eichhörnchen the only one I think did this before enter was nathaniel bandy
It’s great that you acknowledge your own faults. For a while, I was mad at you for certain things you were involved in. But knowing that you do actually see your flaws makes me think better of you as a creator, a critic, and a person. Good video John!
Nobody hates past Mr Enter more than present Mr Enter
What about Future Mr Enter
@@matityaloran9157we’ll see about that
This guy's got serious balls to make a vid like this. I couldn't be prouder of him.
Enter I've been watching you since I was 12. I was a frumpy tween who hated the newer spongebob episodes and I guess I wanted some vindication over that, leading me to watching your reviews. I started slowly getting into your other videos as well and I watched you improve. I watched your style and your editing and your avatar change many times.
This decade has not been a good one for me mentally. I have had very difficult moments where I thought I couldn't even go on. I'd watch your videos just to take my mind off something. They're not important to my mental health, but they have comforted me in an odd way and kept me going.
They've inspired me to create my own stories, and to even attempt drawing and story telling. I have dreams, even if they probably won't come to a completion, I can still hope.
I am 21 now. I will be turning 22 this may. I have finally started to work on some of my goals and started some things in my life. I am now at what I can call "recovery" from severe depression, and I can't believe I can look back and realize just how long I've been watching you. You have kept going despite all of your controversy and flaws, and that gives me some hope for myself.
Congratulations, and Thank you.
Same here lol. Same here... I'm the same age and started watching at the same time lol
Same. I started watching him back when the Squidward Torture Porn video came out and it popped up in my recommendations when watching videos of newer SpongeBob being criticized. I loved his bluntness at the time though certainly thought he went too far in some areas. I’ve watched other videos of his and watched him grow and be a more mature person. Can’t believe he’s been doing this for 10 years. I love his videos and will always support his channel.
Same started watching cartoon reviews at 12 and Mr. Enter was one of the earliest cartoon reviewers I've watched. Honestly seeing his channel is then to where he is now is an experience I'm glad I didn't miss out on
Nuh uh
So a lot of us have grown along with him, then. That’s pretty cool.
Mr. Enter's on his redemption arc, and it's really nice to see that he's actually improving as a person and in terms of his content.
Such mad respect for making a top ten about critiquing your past mistakes, and doing an analysis on why they are horrid. It takes bravery to open up about your mistakes, something that even I fail to realize, but it’s important to not ignore them in order to improve. We are human and we are flawed by nature. I’m glad I stuck around for you, Enter, because I knew deep down you always wanted to do your best to improve and share opinions. Take care, John.
dang dude, you've gone through a really interesting character arc. i haven't kept up with your content too consistently but seeing how you've matured is really impressive. it takes a lot to take such a long, good look at your mistakes and not come out of it bitter. good on ya, man, youve come a long way!
Bro's like a modern day Zuko over here.
Yep. Coming soon for Animated Atrocities: Stewie is Enceinte.
@@everett9199 Beat me to it.
Live Stream! I can ask him what he thinks of the opinion that Chicken Little helped save Disney.
Bro really celebrated his 10th Anniversary by roasting the life out of himself. Mad respect.
Man what a champ.
Self critique is healthy.
He's been very introspective the last couple years.
Bros transition song was from chicken little too
@@SergioLeonardoCornejo I'd have to agree, if you know yourself better with time you're less likely to make any grave mistakes. Mistakes in general aren't bad but it's good to recognize when you screw up so it's less likely to happen again.
Man, this guy must _really_ hate Mr. Enter.
We all make mistakes. But it’s those mistakes that help us learn and grow. Even through the things you’ve done, I’ve still cared and supported you the whole way!
You rock, Mr. Enter! Keep up the good work!
True
i agree
Yep. Coming soon for Animated Atrocities: Stewie is Enceinte.
@@maxleon61702 what?
That's the episode that I would be glad in which, this one would finally get a review if Mr. Enter finally did an Animated Atrocities-based one.
Happy Anniversary, Enter. It may not have been the best run, but I’m proud of you for pulling through and thank you for ten years of content
We all have had to deal with our issues as best as we can. I always believed you to be someone who never wants to actively hurt or bring misery to others, and this video just reinforced that. Wishing you all the best, here's hoping the future is brighter for you.
honestly... i kinda wanna see Growing Around be turned into an actual cartoon at some point, despite the disastrous crowdfunding campaign
To quote Kratos from God of War: "Do not be sorry, be better."
I'm honestly proud of how far you've come along I've stuck around pretty much since your first animated atrocity and I've always admired how you take previous mistakes as learning experiences and have shown to improve from learning from those mistakes. As my fortune cookie yesterday said and I kid you not "A man who's never made any mistakes has never lived life." Kudos to you Mr. Enter, and happy 10th anniversary!
Nobody can blame you for having bad takes. What people can blame you for is being shown why those takes are bad and not changing in the face of new information. You taking the time and changing, while also acknowledging those bad takes is really good. I’m glad you didn’t spiral.
You've grown a lot over this past 10 years, John. Keep it up! Here's to another decade!
Yep.
I am so proud of the way you are improving as a content creator and a human being.
I have been watching you for several years now and always have been fond of how real you are about your opinions, how honestly you have been expressing yourself, how raw your emotions have been.
You have always been a good youtuber but now, with the amount of self reflection you are doing it is only up from here.
One thing I've always appreciated about this channel is that you always seem to be growing and learning. There are stumbles and screw-ups, but I never get the impression that you aren't trying to do better each day. Sure, videos I thought were fine enough three years ago don't hold up in the same way, but if I'm being real, a lot of what *I* did three years ago seemed okay at the time but was actually either cringey or just bad. Keep improving. You've been improving, and that's a wonderful thing
Yeah, I've been subscribed since the early age of this channel, I've grown a lot alongside it, and one of the thing I always appreciated the most is that, in the end, he always addresses his fuck ups, never makes excuses for them, and always tries to learn from them going forward. From a quality standpoint, this is probably the most inconsistent channel I'm still subbed to, but the good is really good and the bad never goes unaddressed forever

i actually think that these old bad videos should remain up
just with a disclaimer at the beginning that explains that they are dated and no longer reflect your current views
kind of like what warner bros does when they release controversial old cartoons from the 40s on new formats
so that instead of just burying past mistakes we can look back and learn from them
Linkara does a similar thing when he makes his compilation videos of past videos so it does have precedence.
There are other channels which have done this actually
Rule #1: Do not insult the audience.
Wish Channel Awesome would follow this.
Takes a lot of growth to make a video like this. And what a way to celebrate your anniversary. It’s good to see someone reflecting on their career and learning from it
I think Neil Gaiman put it best. "don't be afraid to make mistakes, because if you are making mistakes, that means you are trying"
I’m glad you can let go of your mistakes. Sadly, the internet will always remind you of them no matter how many times you apologize.
That's just natural of documentation of any kind. But the people who don't forgive and forget have their own problems.
Yeah just ask Scott Cawthom
Agreed, they take it too seriously and never get tired of beating that deceased equine that's nothing but a pile of mush at this point, like with number 5 for example... (And I ain't just talking about comments either)
@@KeybladeMasterAndy They don’t *have* probIems. They ARE the probIem
Not necessarily. Take the redemption of projared. You can always be forgiven

Being able to admit your mistakes is how you grow. Which is why I consider you one of the best TH-camrs on the platform. No matter what people say.
Also, as someone who loves all your worst cartoons of the decade vids, I would love a remake of the 2000's one!
Tbh, your pandemic videos were really cathartic, and I really enjoyed watching them as they came out.

I'm glad you're acknowledging your missteps and trying to grow as a person. I missed this Mr enter and I'm glad he's back. This feels like the old Mr enter I watched in high school
10 years. Congratulations man.
I started watching you in 2019, after Phantom Striders collaboration with you. I myself was not in a healthy situation, or healthy place. During 2020 I was in a state of just going day by day, constant fear of someone coming to my door. Your videos, old and new, helped me. Even in the ones you were ranting and angry in, like Elf Bowling and Patrick's a Prick, I would rewatch because it felt calming. To see someone that sounded angry, helped put mind to rest, to see I was not the only mad one who had those feelings in the world. They made me laugh, made me smile with joke you would squeeze in. It helped me escape. They inspired me to look more into animation and writing, which is now what I try to do. Today I'm doing better. I have a support network, I don't live in fear, and I'm still here watching. What I have to say is thank you, and I can wait to see you go up from here.
Happy 10 year anniversary John. Here is a cookie if you read this. 🍪
I started watching him on 2017.
Mr. Enter, I have been a loyal viewer of yours for a very long time. I've seen the ups, I've seen the downs, and I've stuck with you through it all. Even your worst videos have gotten me through some tough times.
I've seen a lot of creators I once adored become worse over time. Their content may become shinier or more polished, but the heart is lost or they begin to focus on the wrong things and alienate their audience. I think the opposite happened to you. You've improved so much with time and the force that endeared me to your videos originally has only become stronger.
You're kind of one of my heroes. I'm autistic and I often find myself making mistakes, especially social or behavioral mistakes. In watching you, I've grown to realize that I have control over my actions and that I can change. Just like you've grown and improved, I can as well. I respect you not just as a funny man who reviews cartoons, but as a person who's done something I really hope I can do as well.
Thanks for everything.
Here's to another 10 years.
-Conner
Back in august 2020 I was almost killed by the original strain of covid. I was 25 years old, there were no vaccines or immunisations. There wasn’t even a guarantee that I would live. Cardiac arrest, pneumonia and a week in intensive care led me to believe that my life was genuinely coming to an end before I even had a chance to do anything meaningful with my life. Then I saw your videos talking about the pandemic and not only was I insulted, I felt invalidated. I felt that I was merely an inconvenience and that for people like me to die was merely to be a minor inconvenience to a society all to eager to go back to the way things were. A speed bump in the road. It was hurtful, it broke my spirit to see collective humanity push the vulnerable to the front and say, it’s okay, these people don’t matter to us that much , you can take them. So I thank you from the bottom of my heart for owning up the things you said in your videos. It takes a lot of guts to admit when you’re wrong and I have the utmost respect for you for doing so. Stay on the right track Mr Enter, you’re growing as a creator and more importantly as a person. Not everybody in this world gets a second chance, I hope you make the most of it.
Past Mr. Enter: *makes mistakes*
Current Mr. Enter: "I'm going to end this man's whole career."
I came back to this channel the other day because I was nostalgic for your old videos that I watched a lot in middle school (2013-2016). I revisited the admirable animations series and reminisced on how interesting they were to me. You kinda introduced me to the world of media criticism and critique. Even now I sometimes hear your words in my head when I think of things like Samurai Jack or The Mask (Courage) or Helga on the Couch. I stopped following you as closely sometime when I was in high school.
Then the pandemic hit and then I got diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer in July 2020. Mask wearing was VERY IMPORTANT to me since I was going through chemotherapy at the time which made me very immunocompromised and my dad still had to leave the house for work and I had doctors appointments to attend all the time. Then I heard about your opposition to mask wearing. I understand that masks can be very uncomfortable and I (probably) don’t have autism so I can’t know what wearing a mask is like with a condition that affects how things feel. But it probably saved my life. I didn’t see you the same way after that.
I think after the original turning red review I realized that I was still subscribed and unsubscribed. But I think the dust has mostly settled so I decided to look back and I watched this video. I remember your old Top 10 Mistakes video from back in the day and I found it very admirable that you were able to admit your mistakes like that and it’s admirable that you did so again. The pandemic drove a lot of us to some awful dark places, myself included. We were all scared and isolated and unsure of what to do. That doesn’t excuse anything but it explains it. I appreciate this video a lot, Mr. Enter. It shows that you’re still willing to own up to your mistakes and poor choices, which I don’t see enough in people. We all make mistakes and make poor choices and say things we later regret. But it takes integrity to admit when you’re wrong. I respect you a lot, Mr. Enter. I did when I was 12 and I do now at 22. Thank you for this video and thank you for the insightful and interesting reviews. You’re back in my good graces and you’ve earned a subscriber back. I’m looking forward to what you’ll do next.
Also for what it’s worth, I still like your Helga on the Couch video even if it’s not really a “review.”
I really appreciate how genuine you've become over the years. As someone who's struggled with depression and who was similarly broken by the pandemic, I relate to a lot of this.
It's important to acknowledge your past faults as they show just how much you've changed for the better. I still love your videos and will continue to see where you go :3
Looking back, despite the amount of controversy you’ve been in over the years, I’m glad to see you’ve improved so much as not only a TH-camr but as a person.
Tbh you’re right about the tone part of your pandemic videos but I still think the points were solid and you helped me feel like I wasn’t losing my mind so thank you for that. As a fellow aspie I appreciate the kindred spirit.
It really takes a lot to own up to your mistakes. It takes even more to do it in a video for everyone around the world to see and hear. I respect Mr. Enter for doing something like this.
I do feel like looking back at your past like this and acknowledging how badly you messed up is a healthy way to move forward. While you have done a lot wrong, I genuinely do not think you're a bad person, Enter. I can see that you have changed and want to move to greener pastures.
Happy (early) 10 year anniversary, John Enter. And here's to a brighter future.
lol you brought up Elf Bowling as one of your dishonorable mentions but that's actually my favorite Animated Atrocities video of all time because of how angry you were 😂😂😂
MrEnter regrets putting Elf Bowling as a dishonorable mention
He says in one of his posts in his new DeviantArt account reviewing his first 100 animated atrocities videos
He said it's just the audio being too loud for him that spooked him
Personally, i also really like that video.
Congratulations on the 10 years, not to mention, it takes character to look back on your mistakes and address. Respect.
It takes guts to admit your mistakes and be so open about your regrets.
You deserve a lot of respect.
This was absolutely one of your best videos to date! I've been watching you for various years, Mr. Enter. Through good and bad. Regardless of what others thought of you, or your past mistakes, I always enjoyed your video because I could really feel your passion in them, even if it were wasn't always used correctly... Something about your videos always felt real and, weirdly comforting. I'm glad you're doing well and seeking to constantly better yourself, but I hope that passion you clearly have for what you do never fades.
Regardless of adversity, you've made your mark on not just this site, but on the lives of many. Be it memes, genuine, life-altering perspectives, or just through some good ol' fashioned entertainment. I believe you've done far more good than what moments like these show.
You're doing good, Mr. Enter. Keep it up!
so, as someone who also absolutely isn't the most...mentally well person, i really enjoyed this video
i see a lot of myself in your personality and your content, and i (as well as pretty much everyone) has made some insane mistakes in the past
and i'm really happy to see someone who i've watched for so long, and who i see myself in so much, adress, learn from and move past the mistakes they've made
it inspires me, and quiets that little voice in my head that says "you've fucked up forever, you'll never change, this is you"
thank you mrenter, for showing me that i can be self aware, despite the crater my mind can be
Failure is the greatest teacher. As long as you learn from it, everything you go through is worth it.
After watching you for 10 years man, I can say that you have improved. Can’t wait to see what you do next!
This video was difficult to watch, and I can only imagine how difficult it was to make. I’ve been watching your videos for a while, and enjoying them all that time, flaws and all. I know what it’s like to be aware of all the mistakes you’ve made. I hate myself for all kinds of things sometimes, big and small, far more than I would hate someone else if they made the same mistakes. It’s all too easy to be too hard on oneself. As someone from the outside looking in, I think you’re doing great. You’ve been through a lot and made mistakes, and done your best to atone for them and move forward better. Everyone makes mistakes, everyone does things they regret. It’s human. I sincerely hope things get better for you and that you heal from the years that have gone by. You are a good person, and I wish you all the best
Being able to reflect on your past actions and improve is a good thing. This is probably my favourite video on the channel just because it’s nice to see people critiquing their past selves and learning to improve.
Good job on this video.
I respect that you were able to admit your mistakes from older videos. I do want you to know that I feel you've improved a lot as someone who is familiar with your older videos as well. Admitting the need to change and changing are both very difficult things to do and I applaud you for it. I'm sure many people can relate to how you felt during the pandemic's early years, I know I personally felt extremely depressed during that time and am still dealing with a lot of anxiety with the whole ordeal. Anyway, Happy anniversary Mr.Enter! Looking forward to seeing what the future of your channel has in store!
Mad respect to a dude who can roast himself.
Also, I feel like because that was the "brand" you unintentionally started out with, that's what became popular.
For the Indiegogo thing, "all of the red flags just look like flags."
And as for the requesting video, yeah - gotta agree that one was a little harsh...
...one more thing...wow, it is an accomplishment on Rebecca's part to fuck up editing so irreversibly that there are still traces of it in your past work. I'm impressed.
Just want to say, really great video. Despite the amount of flaws you had throughout the decade, I respect you for your inmense genuinity, honesty and humanity. You've encountered obstacles, you made mistakes, yet you proved on improving them and on realizing you made said mistakes. You're one of the most interesting and passionate content creators I know, and despite all of the troubled reception and rough history that you came across your career, I will never be ashamed of supporting you man. Happy 10 years Enter.
As a long time fan, this video was really great to see and surprising. I know you own your mistakes as I've seen it over and over, but seeing you talking about everything at once and even about things I didn't even know about, it felt mature, and I really hope the people who hate you see this, I hope they can understand that people do dumb things, and people can change for the better. Happy 10 Years Mr Enter, good luck in the future, I'll be here!
Very proud dude, you know it’s a rare thing for a personality to admit their mistakes. Respect.

Shows a lot of humility to take a critical look at yourself and bring it to light rather than just shoving it behind you.
About #1: people can make mistakes for many reasons. And I'm sure you'd agree with me when I say that those who willingly turn their backs on what they believe in purely out of fear of something else don't *fully* believe in those things as much as they thought they did, or that they let other things take precedence.
To quote Kennedy: "Forgive your enemies, but *remember their names* ."
37:05 "It was never my place to talk about any of this to begin with"
Dood, you were talking about YOUR LIFE, you shouldn't feel forced to "shut up" about it; It IS good to vent out your frustrations, and I can understand why "expressing personal feelings" might not be a good "professional move". But bottling up those feelings without some kind of outlet would've made you WORSE. Hard topics require asking hard questions from multiple angles. If you want to have a "more personal" channel, or Patreon exclusives, then that would be a great place for them. But don't feel ashamed for WHY you made them.
Mr. Enter, as a fellow autistic person, I’m so so proud of you for being able to reflect and give your past self criticism. That’s a skill that only mature people have and is something I wish I could do as well as you have.
Honestly, the people who still decide to hate you after your acknowledgement and apologies for the bad takes you had in the past, they're just hating to hate 🤷 You know what you said back then was wrong, and you acknowledged that. What more do they want from you?? A bouquet of flowers? Jesus 🙄 Good on you for the video! I'm happy for you, keep up the good work!
UnfortunateIy, there *are* ppI who cIaim that his apoIogy is "too Iate". How sad. Let's hope this won't get in the way of Enter's career nor stopping him to grow and move forward
@@thevoiceofreason9797The sad thing is that I think it’s already ruined his career. He hasn’t made a video that broke 100k views since his Horrid Henry video, and he hasn’t made a video that passed his sub count since his Teenage Kraken/Elemental/Wish video.
It takes a lot of courage to do something like this. To go back, reflect,criticise,and apologize
For past mistakes and errors. For that you have my respect.
It really touched me how he wasn't just embarrassed of his past mistakes for the higher entries he felt genuine shame and remorse. It really shows how much he cares about his work to the level where he really wishes he never made it not because of how poorly it held up but because of how harmful his off-hand or condescending remarks could be
I love how you've improved. I look forward to seeing you in the future. Keeping moving forward is what Meet The Robinsons says.
Regarding your #2 review, I'm glad that you acknowledged your fault in this. I've seen many other creators audiences go and harass someone, and when called out on it just say: "I never told them to harass this person." It's clearly something you did wrong which caused your audience to act this way.
You did mention in your 2018 Talking about my Online Harassment video that it should've been obvious that you never said specifically for the people you've shown on screen they should be harassed, but you also acknowledged your part in this. When you show names of people and say stuff like: "these people should be ashamed of themselves and blacklisted from animation," it should be obvious that someone out there would think it's okay to harass them.
As for your Pandemic videos, no, I don't think it's a cop-out one bit to tell people if your opinions have changed at all. The U.S. in particular has an awful habit of making things political when they aren't, and it constantly brings out the worst in people, which is one of many things other countries rightfully look down on us for.
Here's to a good future for all of us, you included.
This is why I love you, Enter. You're not afraid to admit when you make mistakes. And you apologize for them. And you learn from them. I've been watching since your Patrick's a Prick countdown, and I've watched you grow since then. Keep being awesome, Mr. Enter!
You can be kinda cringe sometimes Enter, but it takes guts to make a video like this and own up to past mistakes. Mad respect!
I really like when TH-camrs do these kind of vids. It shows they grow as a person and are self-critical. Also it's very nice and self-assuring knowing other people also cringe at their past selves 😁
21:04 this one in particular fascinated me
there is a valid underlying complaint that the setting should matter when creating a piece of media and it should be more than just an aesthetic. but it was the worst possible specific example to use for that issue
it kind of reminds me of when a gaming critic named george wood said that in the future there should be a tomb raider game about lara croft getting breast cancer. the underlying idea was that female charaacters in games open up story ideas based on the female experience which can be agreed with, the example given for that was so bad that it is legendarily awkward and hilarious.
This is such a power move. I’ve been watching you for six years now and I’m excited to see how your content grows!
Honestly I hope to see remakes of your older videos with renewed thoughts and see if any of your thoughts have changed. I think you definitely hit a stride in terms of editing and audio quality. Despite controversy you have only improved and looking back on your past is a great way to grow
This video is amazing. I've been watching Mr. Enter for a long time, and he's improved so much. it's clear he's not only grown as a creator but as a person. I have an incredible amount of respect for him and this video. Mistakes were made, and some of them were pretty big. But instead of getting defensive, which would be so easy to do, he's owning them and growing, and that's awesome to see. I'm looking forward to the future of his channel. Mr. Enter, I wish you nothing but the best.
Love how much effort was put into this. Most people would want to get something like this over as quickly as possible, but everything in this video is articulated really well and the number transition is one of my favorites
Happy 10th Anniversary to The Mysterious Mr. Enter, with a decade of animated atrocities and admirable animations. Keep up the great videos. 👍
I’m proud of your maturity and you looking back at your bad videos with some levity & genuine self reflection.
man, it takes so much courage and maturity to not only recognize your mistakes but be sorry about them. You're a legend bro
Can't believe it's been 10 years. I remember when some of those 2013 ones came out and it really doesn't seem like that long ago. I was 13 in 2013 and I am glad to have grown with you.
I've been watching since the MLP days, I've always enjoyed your videos. In many ways, I was an angry and depressed teen back then, and I enjoyed watching someone else be angry about something. I've grown a lot since then, and I'm glad that you did too. The thing I enjoy most nowadays is your ability to own up to your mistakes and grow and improve. Cheers.
Here’s to ten more years of mistakes and the self-critique to get better.
😐
You may want to rewrite that comment buddy
Been about 6 years I believe that I’ve been with Enter
And every time something happened I knew that he’d try to be better, did he still fail sometimes sure but that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t try again
And that’s all you ask of someone you don’t personally know but have faith in
I find it really that animat got mad at you for making political statements but makes HIS WHOLE PODCAST ABOUT CARTOONS political.
the man makes everything he does political.
Not to Animat compared The Emoji Movie to Donald Trump. Everyone has at least one stupid take.
@@avalasialove AniMat's ability to make everything he does political is a stupid take in and of itself.
@@avalasialove he also defended cuties
I’m actually glad that he did this. It takes guts it admit your faults especially as a TH-camr. So way to go. Also I’m very excited for your new Nick-O-Rama reviews later in the year. That (like you) deserves a redemption.
Hey. I’ve been a fan on and off and I just watched your vid all the way through and I wanna say that while you’ve been a huge source of comfort for me during the worst years of my life. I don’t know why and I can’t begin to explain it, but when I was extremely depressed borderline suicidal in like 2017-2018 and then again in 2020-2022 I would rewatch your videos and just have them on in the backseat. They helped me through really hard times and to see you not only owning up your mistakes, but correcting them too is amazing. Happy 10 years, and here’s to 10 more ❤️.
been here since 2013, it's weird knowing that I basically *grew up* on this content. it was a constant in my life and actually a huge comfort for me. and (for the most part) I defended a lot of your opinions on things. but i mainly used your videos as background noise for all the time, and I'm really happy to see you acknowledge your past and apologize, seeing you strive to become a better person is actually rather comforting, especially *because* it's something from my past I have genuine fond memories of. sorry for getting all parasocial but I'm really happy for you and this new direction that you're taking and I'm happy to stick around for the future of this channel!
I LOVED your tentacolino video. I am glad you are growing as it’s really hard to look back on our former selves, but that video had me in tears laughing!
You are a good person, Enter. And you show you ARE capable of learning and changing. Hope you succeed in your future, man!
If it helps, with the pandemic videos, your key point, that mental health wasn't being looked after enough, was true. You might have said everything around that point badly, you might have dismissed the physical health side, but even at the time, it was clear they were coming from a place of deep pain, not an attempt to deny the pandemic, just a lashing out against the ways the pandemic response deeply hurt people, even if there wasn't a better choice.
Now, it wasn't a particularly well-thought-out lashing out, and for people who weren't suffering as badly it might have encouraged them to unsafe behaviours - but I don't think that was your intent. However, as someone who was living in a one-bedroom flat (apartment) in Scotland, where the lockdown only allowed a maximum of one hour a day outside the house for months, with a bed needing replaced that I couldn't get replaced; with things breaking in the flat that I wasn't able to get fixed, you were the only person I saw that made me feel seen, even if it was mixed up with a load of bad takes.
This was a bold video, pointing out your flaws. But I hope you know that even in those flaws, you did have some strengths. Be introspective. But don't let it turn into self-hatred.
Admitting when you're wrong and doing better is the most mature thing anyone can do.
It takes massive balls to admit your mistakes like this and I love that. This is probably my personal favorite video of yours.
The big thing that kept me a fan of your work was that you could and would acknowledge your mistakes and work to better yourself. Here's to a good 2023.
I think the thing that keeps me following your channel is your honesty. Even when a certain cartoon isn't that interesting, or a video isn't that good, or I don't agree with your opinion, it's always interesting to hear what you have to say. Of course, this includes owning up to your mistakes, which is very admirable. Best of wishes.
Taking the piss outta one's self is my favorite genre. I have respect for someone who looks back on their mistakes, owns up to them, and, most importantly, makes the effort to improve for the future. This is why, while I may or may not agree with your takes, I always have respected your honestly and your drive to keep moving forward. I've been watching since 2014, and I'll still keep tuning in.
The fact that you are able to recognise these flaws in your past and your present, acknowledge and accept them, and still not throw in the towel is inspiring.
Unlike many creators in a similar position, you have always felt like a real person. Someone I could talk to and even befriend, because you stumble and stagger. But you never stopped trying, and therein lies your strength.
Here's to another ten years, MrEnter, and all the ups and downs they will bring.
I haven't watched your videos in years, so I don't know anything about the dramas, but the "I took this show too seriously"/"I didn't understand it was satire"/"I tried to understand it" phrases are way too relatable
You've really grown a lot. Not just as a creator, but as a person. Glad to see it.
Happy anniversary man, I'm a fan since 2013. I came for the MLP reviews, and stayed for the rollercoaster ride which has been your channel.
While at times I disagreed with how you handled things or your takes or whatever, I always came back to your channel because I had to know what wild, wacky thing you would say next.
But I ended up watching you evolve over time, and I stopped laughing so much at how tone deaf past Enter could be, and laughing at your actual jokes. I love technocracy and I love the videos where you talk about old animation!
I don't have a problem with you "taking cartoons too seriously" and didn't understand that criticism in particular but that's what I actually really like about this channel.
I have respect for you, you're a pretty cool human, especially for owning up to all of your past grievances in the style of your list videos. I look forward to seeing you grow even more.
The pandemic videos were very helpful to me at that time, they actually help me to see the world wasnt ending; that our actitud toward the virus was worst than the virus itself; you inspire me to make my own research and to share and discuss my findings with people that were in panic at the time. I genuinely thank you for that videos, it was part of what lead to save my bussiness and my mental health and some of my friends, colleages and family too.
I appreciate your honesty to us and yourself. I tuned out of my tight and enthusiastic following of your work specifically due to the first two pandemic videos. I kept my old favorites from you as ocassional crafting background noise but I would not call myself a fan anymore. My life was set on a path to its ruins and I lost everything I made in the years prior. A past favorite creator of mine saying the measures I hoped would defend me were senseless, cut deeply.
I'm sorry you were saying those things because the pandemic hurt you too. I hope to soon be able to forgive return to watching your new content. And I wish for you to find a way to heal those wounds. Thank you and congratulations on 10 years of creating content!
I started watching your content eight years ago, WAY back when Top Ten Squidward Torture Porns was trending. And honestly, I found your content refreshing. Even back then, it seemed like everyone was angry about what the world was coming to, and I felt that in a big way. Watching your videos made me feel like I wasn't alone in being angry, and that helped me through my first few years coming out of high school. It was a really unhappy time for me, and Animated Atrocities was like being able to vent my anger to a friend or coworker.
But as I got a handle on my life, your anger started to alienate me, and I wound up unsubscribing after your first pandemic video (which you probably don't blame me for).
HOWEVER, I started watching your videos again when Top Ten Worst Spongebob Episodes went up. The humility you showed really brought me back in. I didn't resubscribe, though. I still felt like the magic was gone. But the videos that came afterwards slowly but surely proved me wrong. And as of this video, I'm subscribed again.
I honestly admire how much you've grown. It reminds me of how much I'VE grown in the past 8 years, and how I still have a long way to go. So, my advice to both of us is to keep going. Because no matter what you believe, a large component of "the meaning of life" (or whatever you wanna call it) is bettering yourself.
