History Funny / LindsayEllis2020Episodes

* Lindsay managed to rope several Youtubers into doing a cameo by reading out the various soundbites of horrified reviewers reacting to ''Film/{{Cats}}'', up to and including WebAnimation/{{Kurzgesagt}}.
* The list of characters from ''Cats'' according to Lindsay: Munkustrap, The Rum Tum Tugger, Skimbleshanks the Railway Cat, Jennyanydots the Gumbie Cat, Asparagusus the Theatre Cat, [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers Thataintitchief the Canceled Cat]], [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing2019 Nala the #Girlboss Cat]], and [[Series/DinersDriveInsAndDives Fieri the Flavortown Cat]].
* While describing Andrew Lloyd Webber's priority for the original musical as wanting "a bunch of people in lycra singing about being cats", she plays a clip that contains [[ValuesDissonance the awkward "heathen Chinese" line]] and silently responds with a grimacing emoji.
* Lindsay believes the only real good to come from Tom Hooper's previous ''[[Film/LesMiserables2012 Les Misérables]]'' adaptation is [[MemeticMutation all of the Javert memes]].

* Lindsay surmises that Music/TaylorSwift only got involved with the film because she wanted to win an Oscar like how Music/LadyGaga did with Film/AStarIsBorn2018. The problem is that she and Creator/AndrewLloydWebber were fussing with the song right up until the day of shooting, [[WhatAnIdiot and since Tom Hooper insisted on catching audio live on the set rather than recording later in a studio]], they didn't have time to re-record it. Lindsay points how how uncertain Francisca Hayward's singing sounds because ''she had just learned the song that morning'', [[CreatorBacklash and how annoyed she seemed with Taylor during the promotional tour]]. And in the end, Taylor Swift did get an award nomination...[[AllForNothing for a Golden Globe]].

"shit my oboe reed snapped"\\

"i still haven't forgiven VFX artists for Film/TheScorpionKing"\\
"i'm drunk lol"\\
"ironic clapping from Creator/ToddPhillips"\\

* While addressing Tom Hooper's inconsistency with fourth-wall breaking, Lindsay draws attention to the ending where Judi Dench sings to the audience for five minutes straight. To highlight the overall awkwardness and unbearably long duration of the scene, a series of images are shown alongside the clip as it drags on including wilting flowers, a rotting corpse, and several nuclear explosions.

-->'''Shah''': We stan a spooky murderboy.

-->'''Lindsay:''' [[excitedly]] And there was a time when the Phantom fandom had no goddamn humor. You were not allowed to criticize this book! But it's 2020, Phantom [[MemeticMutation shitposting]] is finally a thing, and ''I am the god!''

--->Dear [[Series/ArrestedDevelopment Mr. Managers]],\\\
You suck, this opera house sucks, Charlotta sucks, everything sucks, besides Christine Daaé and the first three seasons of ''Series/{{Frasier}}''. Give me your money.\\\

* Lindsay bluntly admits that this video was partially motivated by some two decades old grudges against ''Literature/{{Phantom}}'' and takes time to air out her petty irritation at ''Phantom of the Opera'' fandom circa 2001 for defending it so much.
