History Funny / LindsayEllis2018Episodes

* Lindsay uses Theodor Adorno’s Marxist philosophy as a template for part of the video... until she starts reading quotes of Adorno [[RunningGag repeatedly]] [[ValuesDissonance dumping on jazz music]]. [[YouHaveGOTToBeKiddingMe Lindsay's reaction is just perfect]]. She even ends her reading on Adorno with a clip from the first Transformers movie of Optimus Prime mourning [[JustForPun Jazz's]] death.

-->'''Lindsay:''' Belle attempts to escape the castle twice, [[SarcasmMode which is so much more feminist than in the original when she tried to escape a mere... once...]] Jesus Christ, I'm surprised that they didn't like have [[AsideGlance Belle look directly into the camera]] [[BreakingTheFourthWall and ask the audience]] if they thought she was developing StockholmSyndrome.

* Her entire description of the climax, which best exemplifies her claim that [[IdiotPlot nobody in the film acts like a real person]]:

-->'''Lindsay:''' And you get a lot of people asking "what happened? Why are women suddenly into this idea of [[InterspeciesRomance boinking monsters]]?" And it's not that they "suddenly are" it's that now there's a mainstream filmmaker who is ready and willing to go there. Obviously, this is nothing new. This is, dare I say it... ''[[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast a tale as old as time.]]''

-->'''Lindsay''': Marxism -- that topic you think you know about because -- um, certain YouTube "intellectuals" screaming about how Marxism is directly opposed to western values is so hot right now[[note]]Said as a "footage not found" clip is played behind Lindsay[[/note]].\\

* Similarly, Lindsay's snark at [[TastesLikeDiabetes the utterly saccharine sincerity]] of the primetime ''[[Series/BeautyAndTheBeast1987 Beauty and the Beast]]'' series, leading her to wonder "What bombed-out wine mom wrote this?" She's understandably confused when a picture of [[spoiler:Creator/GeorgeRRMartin]] pops up.

* While describing the Storm Giants scene, Lindsay calls back to her ''WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'' review:

* "...what is worse: bad representation or ''no'' representation? We're gonna answer that question today--[[BaitAndSwitch just kidding, no were not]]."

* Similarly, Lindsay's snark at the utterly saccharine sincerity of the primetime ''[[Series/BeautyAndTheBeast1987 Beauty and the Beast]]'' series, leading her to wonder "What bombed-out wine mom wrote this?" She's understandably confused when a picture of [[spoiler:Creator/GeorgeRRMartin]] pops up.

* Near the ending where she briefly touches on ''Series/Titans2018'' and ''Film/Venom2018'', and how [[SnarkBait their trailers' reactions were that of uproarious laughter]]:

* While describing the Storm Giants scene, Lindsay calls back to her ''Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'' review:

* "It's a beautiful day at Disneyworld's Hollywood Studios. The Rock 'n' Roller is rockin', a sea of Mickey ears flows through the park, and that ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast'' live show is [[TakeThat mysteriously still running]]."

--->'''Lindsay:''' Effectively, Disney has gone and made a movie which differs in content only in that it appears to exist to appease [[TakeThat the pedantic]] [[PrecisionFStrike f###s]] [[TakeThat of YouTube with their decades of bad-faith criticism]], [[SelfDeprecation and for ever having enabled that atmosphere]] of pedantic [[PrecisionFStrike f#####y]] that led to the creation of [[Film/BeautyAndTheBeast2017 a film]] that goes out of its way to address the plot holes of [[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast the film that it's based on]]... uh, [[OldShame I will never cease my penance walk]]. ''(beat)'' But I am going to complain about this movie for a really long time, so strap in.

-->'''Lindsay:''' When it was announced that [=LeFou=] would become the first "out" gay character in a Disney movie, the L's ([[Disney/TheLittleMermaid Ursula]]), the G's ([[Disney/TheGreatMouseDetective Ratigan]]), the B's ([[Disney/{{Aladdin}} The Genie]]), the T's ([[Disney/{{Tarzan}} Terk]]) and of course all you filthy, ''filthy'' Q's ([[Disney/{{Hercules}} Hades]]) responded with [[SarcasmMode uproarious applause.]]

* "The first canary in this coal mine actually came from the Disney company with ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Happiest_Millionaire The Happiest Millionaire]]''[...] which bombed so spectacularly that you've never heard of it."

* As Lindsay does her own Marxist reading of the text, she defines what "the text" entails. The example of ''Transformers'' she pulls is [[ToilerHumor the scene of Bumblebee "lubricating" on]] Creator/JohnTurturro.

* Parts 1 and 5 of the essay are transitioned into with an out-of-nowhere dubstep remix of [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings "The Ring Goes South"]].

* The video basically consists of Lindsay taking apart the writing of the entirety of Season 8 and showing how there were numerous failings of setup-payoff and character development. While much of the video is academic, there's one moment where Lindsay starts talking about Daenyres's "arc" that is absolutely hysterical.
-->'''Lindsay:''' As it turns out, she's super Hitler! The Hitler that fliiiiiiiiiiiies.
---> [[SoundtrackDissonance Katy Perry's "Roar" plays while Dany burns King's Landing down.]]
* Just the general exasperated tone Lindsay takes.
* 'Tis the season for some ''treason!''
* "But my lord, what about the Geneva Conventions?"
