Top 11 Gravity Falls episodes

One of my faves is Society Of The Blind Eye, but I get why anyone would think it's too similar to Adventure Time.

I kinda wish he'd put Dipper and Mabel vs. The Future in there. That episode was fucking brutal.

Similar how?

Well, the whole thing about them finding out about Mc Gucket's gradual breakdown through a video tape of his life is very similar to Finn and Jake finding out about Ice King's gradual breakdown through a video tape of his life.

Oh right, that was the biggest part of that episode too...I forgot.

I only really take objection to "Boyz Crazy" (honestly one of the weakest episodes in my opinion) being on there over episodes that seemed a lot like better choices for him, like "The Hand That Rocks The Mabel" (the one that made him gasp) or "The Golf War" (the one that made him laugh so much over the Big Henry joke).

I honestly think he could've taken off Boyz Crazy and replaced it with something else. It's a funny episode, but there's plenty of better ones.

Also 'Soos and the Real Girl' is one of the worse episodes, if you ask me.

Surprisingly the entire trilogy wasn't in that list...oh well.

The first part could've replaced Boyz Crazy...

Naw man, that one is awesome. I've actually never seen anyone else say they disliked it.

I had to pause the part of the episode where Soos finds the box for a good two minutes I was laughing so hard.

y'all are nuts, "Boyz Crazy" is hilarious

My problem with 'Soos and the Real Girl' is the cast's lack of sympathy for Gifany's torturous existence. The episode works if you treat her strictly as a metaphor, but when you look at her as in actual character... ehh.

'Boyz Crazy', meanwhile... while Doug's right that it's nowhere near as mean-spirited as it could be, the premise is inherently a bit mean-spirited.

There's nothing wrong with some mean-spirited humor...

The people who it's aimed at probably disagree

Only if they can't take a joke, but...if the mean-spiritedness goes over board and constantly making fun of the target then I'll see what you mean.

I am really looking forward to Freddy vs. Jason...but I have the sickening feeling that something will ruin it. Like it being a godawful review in the vein of the Hocus Pocus one where we don't get any footage or even re-enactments, just the cast dressed up as they complain about the film (with crappy songs thrown in).

My love for Hocus Pocus ep aside, I've seen the review and that doesn't happen, but okay?

Oh, good.

I get the clipless reviews but at least the re-enactments provide context for what happens. Hocus Pocus had no context.

I love the movie and the review (and the song, and the costumes, it's just a good time for me ), but I believe that's why Doug said in the Phantom Of The Opera commentary he did more pictures and explaining.

Giffany has a tortured existence?

Yeah man. She's been trapped a tiny simulated reality for decades, her only contact with the rest of world being short relationships with people who aren't great at social interaction- all of which ended with her being abandoned and flung back into isolation.

Abandoned because she was an obsessive nutcase trying to make them her's forever. She killed her developers when they realized they had create a psycho program. She tried to kill Soos's girlfriend out of jealousy.
