* Her going on about the weird atmosphere-generating pod in the ''{{Film/Avatar}}'' theme park:
--> '''Jenny:''' ''I love the pod.'' While I was visiting, I got to rub the side of the pod; it grumbled its approval, and pulsed with light. *cue clip of Jenny doing exactly that*

to:

* Her From her video on ''Ride/PandoraTheWorldOfAvatar'':
** Jenny once again segments her review in a numbered list, but titling each one based off her speculated titles of the DevelopmentHell-residing ''Film/{{Avatar}}'' sequels -- starting off with [[UnusualChapterNumbers "Part 1:]] ''[[UnusualChapterNumbers Avatar 2: The Chronicles of Animal Kingdom]]''", "because some day, there are
going to be more ''Avatar'' sequels than numbers in the English language."
** While laying the groundwork of [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Disney World]] and Animal Kingdom, Jenny immediately pulls no punches in snarking about Disney [[InsistentTerminology advertising the park as "not a zoo"]] -- including clips of its marketing campaign using [[AsLongAsItSoundsForeign "nāhtāzū"]] as a tagline -- but describing it as "basically just a zoo."
** "The biggest success of ''[[Ride/TheWizardingWorldOfHarryPotter Wizarding World]]'' is the merchandise -- people are paying premium prices for wizard robes and [[CallBack $30 plastic wands]] and butterbeer... and by 'people', I mean myself."
** Jenny takes a while to discuss [[UnfortunateImplications the uncomfortable cultural politics]] of the park's own premise, dissecting the strange logic of how [[EasilyForgiven the Na'vi would suddenly be welcoming back humans despite the past crimes]] and the dodgy posturing that the two races are getting along despite little to no Na'vi participation in the park itself:
--->'''Jenny''': Did we bring the Na'vi around to our culture? Are they buying iPhones and Beats by Dre?
** "I mean, [''Avatar''] [[RecycledInSpace was basically just]] ''Film/DancesWithWolves'' -- [[StockShticks like, everybody compared it to]] ''[[StockShticks Dances with Wolves]]'', and the only ones who didn't compared it to ''WesternAnimation/{{Pocahontas}}'', presumably because they were too young to have seen ''Dances with Wolves''."
** Jenny was so genuinely enraptured by [[SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome the Shaman of Songs]] -- [[DancingBear virtually the only real element of note
on the Na'vi River Journey]] -- that Jenny inserts footage of her and her friends [[EarWorm singing her song to themselves long after exiting the ride]].
** "[[ItMakesSenseInContext Big jellies?]] ''([[BoldInflation giant subtitles appear]])'' BIG JELLIES."
** While discussing the various refreshments, Jenny highlights an unopened bag of blue, "''Avatar''-flavored" popcorn, but upon unwrapping it, she sees that it's expired. [[TemptingFate She tries a piece anyway, thinking it might still be fine]]... [[{{Squick}} and quickly spits it out]]. Fortunately, the almonds inside are fine.
--->'''Jenny''': I mean the part I like
about the weird almond is the almond ''taste'', and then it just has this gross candy coating on it. [[DeadpanSnarker So I guess I just like almonds, and this is a failed product]].
** The ending of the video has her discussing the weird,
atmosphere-generating pod in the ''{{Film/Avatar}}'' theme park:
-->
pod, complete with accompanying video clip.
--->
'''Jenny:''' ''I love the pod.'' While I was visiting, I got to rub the side of the pod; it grumbled its approval, and pulsed with light. *cue clip of Jenny doing exactly that*It compelled me to gather [[TheMerch my own small pod specimen]] and take it back with me to my homeland. [[TheComicallySerious I am to care for it until it is strong and then planted in the Earth]].

** She also casually drops the bombshell that she had an impersonator, who went to a convention, and even spoke on panels claiming to do the voices from ''Friendship is Witchcraft''. Then when Jenny had to expose her, she "fled into the night, a mystery to this day".
** The frequent use of the word 'gypsy' in ''Friendship is Witchcraft'' is a major OldShame for her, as she had only used it in reference to ''WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'' and the Gypsy Horse - not realising it was a slur for the Romani. Despite having realised and stopped using the word in latter episodes, the songs featuring it ended up getting a resurgence on [=TikTok=].
--> "And now there are teenagers who have never seen ''Friendship is Witchcraft'' merrily dancing to these songs that have slurs in them. That's my legacy. Isn't it wonderful?"
** And then elaborating further...
--> "It seems there's also [=TikToks=] of people doing discourse about why they shouldn't be doing [=TikToks=] of the songs...while dancing ''to'' the songs. [=TikTok=] has a lot of layers, it's very interesting."

-->'''Jenny''': [''as Dany''] I am ''so'' disappointed in myself, that I '' ruined '' a relationship that did mean so much to me, by burning him alive with fire from my dragon. What sucks the most is knowing that there's nothing I can say or do that's ''ever'' going to rebuild that friendship and that trust, because... [[BreadEggsMilkSquick he is a large pile of ash, now]].

-->'''Jenny''': Disneyland's really popular with skywriters, because they can't, like, stop them from doing it, and it's a really good way to have like a captive audience of a lot of people in one place. And like the skywriters are usually Christian ones, so, obviously the crew was just there on a day when that happened, and they shot it. And Randy was like [''vacant expression''], "That's so '''DEEP'''! Cause... like, ''ironic''... because... '''consumerism'''!?"

* Her review of the book ''Trigger Warning'' is pretty hilarious throughout, but one point she comments on a scene where a StrawCharacter weakling liberal professor, hiding from a campus shooter, wishes that one of his own racist-but-nevertheless-badass ancestors were there to save his scrawny SJW self from the shooter:
-->'''Jenny''': I would imagine that no matter what life-threatening situation I found myself in, I '''wouldn't''' suddenly start to think, "Gosh, I would even accept the help of the Zodiac Killer right now. Why did I always hate the Zodiac Killer? I've always had really unkind thoughts about the Zodiac Killer, but if they could somehow magically appear, right here and right now, and decide to save me from the bad thing that was happening, well, then, I would just feel like an idiot for not liking them."

* In "Well, I Didn't Like ''Film/Joker2019''", she comments on how most of the attention on Joaquin Phoenix's performance focused on his most over-the-top and flamboyant scenes as "great acting" instead of his much more subtle and difficult work. To demonstrate the silliness of this, she recuts a trailer for ''Film/MammaMia'' with the ''Joker'' audio.

** She pulls no punches talking about how Ben Platt was a terrible casting choice, and how the movie's attempts to rectify that only exacerbated the problems.
---> In shambles this big, hunching mop-headed man, eyes sunken into his artificially puffy face, warbling out high notes like an anxious Jiminy Cricket.
---> You see him in the film, inexplicably looking like some sweaty 90's sitcom dad made of melting wax.
---> There's something twisted and unnatural about him like you're looking at a ''Film/MissionImpossible'' style mask of his face.
---> It looks like his face is trying to escape his head.
---> [regarding him saying "I love you" to Zoey] It makes my animal brain shake in fear, trying to flee from the presence of a predator.

** Jenny spends an entire segment deconstructing just how bizarre the whole conflict surrounding "the orchard Kickstarter" is and the weirdly high stakes the film puts on it, built on a sincere claim that [[SlipperySlopeFallacy should it fail, depressed adolescents around the world will commit suicide]].
--->'''Jenny''': If we raise $100,000 dollars and open an old orchard, we will change the world, but if we raise only $80,000, [[InsaneTrollLogic all these kids will immediately kill themselves]]. Alana, if that's the case, you really should've gone with a flexible funding campaign! [[BlackComedy Then at least only a proportional fraction of teens would be suicidal.]]



-->'''Jenny''': The Murphys occasionally interject with follow-up questions, but they're speaking, not singing! They're just talking like normal people, [[MoodWhiplash and then Evan comes right back in singing his heart out]], periodically cutting back to the family's faces of horror and disgust. Hands down: best scene in the movie.

** Jenny does the entire video in a [[StylisticSuck deliberately shoddy]] cosplay of movie Evan, complete with bags under the eyes to indicate that she's supposed to be older than she looks which is funny on it's own. What ''really'' adds to it is that pretty much every comment about the outfit remarks on how she did a better job at looking like a teenage boy than what the multi-million dollar film was able to do.
