Münecat, a.k.a. Georgina Taylor, is an British Youtuber and musician. She's mainly made videos that take a critical look at MLMs, as well as self help gurus like Tony Robbins and Gary Vee. Usually, she ends each video by performing a song about the topic. She also has a secondary channel called Moar Münecat, which contains bonus videos.


This show provides examples of:

  • Analogy Backfire: In the video I Debunked The Entire Manosphere, one of them claims multiple times that women are attracted to him "like bees to honey". Münecat responds by pointing out that bees aren't attracted to honey, but that they make honey.
    Münecat: Unless you mean that your workout regimen caused a swarm of women to consume various plant secretions which they then regurgitated, and using the resulting viscous substance, sculpted you into existence and stored you to consume over the next several years as a non-perishable food source. Because if so...that's pretty impressive.
  • Arch-Enemy: Gary Vee seems to have become one. In her video on NFTs, she describes him as "one of the villains of the Münecat Cinematic Universe".
    • Jordon Peterson appears to have taken up this role as well.
    Münecat: This man is Cthulhu, inserting his slimy tentacles into every video I make now, and each time he does, I realize more and more how dangerous he is.
  • Autotune: In addition to sometimes using it in her songs, Münecat will occasionally play the sound of an Autotuned crying baby whenever she hears something she considers wangsty.
  • The Cameo: She provided some voiceover in the video Why NFTs Deserved To Die by Cynical Reviews.
  • Capitalism Is Bad: A very common theme in her videos.
  • Cathartic Scream: In her video I Debunked Every "Body Language Expert" On Youtube, Münecat sums up the conclusion to her research on body language by screaming into a pillow.
  • Cluster F-Bomb: Invoked in her song "Unionize" at he end of her video Gary Vee: The Youth Pastor of Capitalism.
  • Cute Kitten: She's occasionally featured her cats Brooklyn and Badger in her videos.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Münecat often discusses issues with a touch of dry humour.
  • Don't Shoot the Message: In-Universe, Münecat feels this way about certain environmentalist groups like Extinction Rebellion in her video Climate Change: Capitalism's Final Boss. While she can relate to their quirky artistic approach to protests, she feels that it is not the best way to get the message across to the average person.
  • Dude, Not Funny!: In her video Sovereign Citizens: Pseudolaw & Disorder, Münecat prefaces the segments on white supremacy and terrorism by refusing to do a silly song about it. While speaking in an artificially pitched-up voice.
  • Funny Background Event: At one point when Münecat is discussing body language experts on television, her cat Badger can be seen playing around on a chair in the background.
  • Granola Girl: Is vegan, partly for environmental reasons. But contrary to the stereotypes, she does not go out of her way to talk about it.
  • Genre Roulette: The songs in the video Web3.0: A Libertarian Dystopia range from Techno to Metal to Big Band/Jazz.
  • Golden Mean Fallacy: In Climate Change: Capitalism's Final Boss, she criticizes major media outlets for giving climate change deniers a voice in the conversation, as if their opinions and that of scientists are equally valid.
  • Kind Hearted Cat Lover: It's right there in her name.
  • Lady Drunk: Münecat loves beer and tends to have one on hand in her videos.
  • Ms. Fanservice
  • Oop North: Georgina comes from Yorkshire, which can sometimes be heard in her accent. Referenced in her song "The Roastie Girls Anthem", which features the line "Whorin' out, straight outta Leeds and Grantham".
  • Poe's Law: In the video ''"Sausage Expert" Tricked With A Vegan Sausage'', Münecat is unable to decide whether Mike Parry is genuinely as cringeworthy as he acts or if he's secretly a social media Troll.
  • Running Gag: Münecat being unable to pour beer properly.
  • Self-Deprecation: In her video I Debunked The Entire Manosphere, she refers to herself as "a bimbo with an internet connection".
  • Shout-Out: In her video about climate change, she responds to a few clips of Ben Shapiro talking about it with the infamous response by Hbomberguy.
  • Spell My Name With An S: Or, in this case, an umlaut.
  • Talk About the Weather: She starts off her video Climate Change: Capitalism's Final Boss by disputing the stereotype that British enjoy talking about the weather. Rather, she claims that it turns them on.
  • This Is a Song: Invoked in the song titled "::Song::" from the Sovereign Citizens: Pseudolaw & Disorder video, playing on Sovereign Citizens' obsession with semantics.
  • Voice Clip Song: Of Jordan Peterson to head the "::SEMANTICS::" chapter of Sovereign Citizens: Pseudolaw & Disorder:
    What do you mean, "do"? What do you mean, "happen"? What do you mean, "you"? What do you mean, "believe"?
