History TearJerker / TheMysteriousMrEnter

-->'''Mr. Enter''': The first video that I made on the subject was angry. Most of them were. It got to the apex with the [=PSAs=] video, which is probably the angriest that I have… ''ever'' been on record, probably even more angry than I was in [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy “Screams of Silence.”]] Like, with real, genuine anger. And it was a time when anger was the ''last'' thing that the world needed. The world at large had plenty of anger. It did not need mine in any way, shape, or form. And the kicker, why this made it to the top of the list, ''is that I knew this!'' I ''knew'' that there was too much anger. A lot of people distanced themselves from me over the pandemic, and I don’t blame them. I distanced myself from many others, and I did that more and more as my temper became hair-trigger. Even the slightest reminder of the horror outside my door set me off. I went to [=YouTubers=] and entertainers and such to escape, to have a moment of peace. And as time went on, all I seemed to get was reminders. I needed that escape that I was not getting, and it’s definitely what I needed to provide to other people. I could rattle off an endless list of reasons why I did this or said that, but I don’t think it matters because there really is none to justify it. A lot of people got to see my meltdowns firsthand, and what was going on behind the screen was even worse than I let on. The summer of 2020 was the most depressed that I had ever been in my entire life, and around that time I had even begun developing obsessive-compulsive disorder. And while these are definitely troubling things, they’re not an excuse for what I said and they’re not an excuse for what I’ve done, never mind about ''how'' I went about doing and saying these things. From the ‘’very beginning,’’ I have always stood by the mantra that “I am in control of what I do.” My actions are not my mental illnesses. My actions are me. And this is something that I am desperately trying to work on. I’m hoping that I haven’t fucked up too much too permanently. I’m an entertainer [=YouTuber=] guy, one who got too cocky after too many [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons “Homer Badmans,”]] “Screams of Silences,” and “Technocracies.” I lost the point in the shuffle. If I was really annoyed by constant reminders to do this or not do that, I should have been making that escapist content that I desperately needed, ''not projecting my trauma onto everyone else.'' If it was getting to me so badly that people were acting like the world was ending, I should have been the person saying that it wasn’t.

* Several ''Admirable Animations'' episodes chronicle well-done, meaningful {{Tear Jerker}}s, such as "[[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} Jurassic Bark]]", "[[WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog Last of the Starmakers]]", "[[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans How Long is Forever]]", "[[WesternAnimation/HeyArnold Helga on the Couch]]", and "[[Manga/ZatchBell A Kind Momodo, Kolulu]]".

* In the [[WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse "One of the Boys"]] review, it's clear that he ''hates'' the contrast between [[CoolBigSis Luna]] (one of his favorites on the show) and [[BigBrotherBully Luke]] and [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold Leni]] (who he describes as one of the nicest characters and having a heart of gold]]) and [[{{Jerkass}} Loni]].

* In the [[WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse "One of the Boys"]] review, it's clear that he ''hates'' the contrast between [[CoolBigSis Luna]] (one of his favorites on the show) and [[BigBrotherBully Luke]] and Leni (who he describes as one of the nicest characters and having a [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold heart of gold]]) and Loni; clearly sibling bullying hits too CloseToHome for him.

* While tackling WesternAnimation/TheProblemSolverz, John actually contracted myopia, or nearsightedness, from watching it. Throughout the episode, you can hear John wailing in pain at the seizure-inducing visuals. This means he's gained a physical disability in trying to review it. Now, as seen in his vlogs, he is forced to wear glasses just to see.
** Made worse when he says this:
--> "You wanna know how bad this is? I sat through ''[[Anime/PokemonTheOriginalSeries Electric Soldier Porygon]]'' which, contrary to popular belief, has flashing lights ''everywhere,'' and got through it with no issue."
** Think about it: An {{anime}} episode that was banned from airing because of hundreds of seizures, he got through unharmed. But WesternAnimation/TheProblemSolverz gave him nearsightedness. He now has grounds to sue, actually.

* You can tell he's had a hard life just from his dead serious rage at seeing [[BerserkButton abuse trivialized on screen]], and he gets [[ItsPersonal particularly angry]] whenever he sees AbusiveParents or families, especially when episodes like ''[[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Seahorse Seashell Party]]'' try to justify it. One particularly sad example of this is his ''WesternAnimation/ChickenLittle'' review, in which he spends a lot of time raging at Buck for being a horrible father. In his commentary video, he says Buck would have been an ''improvement'' compared to his actual parent.
** And then there's the fact that when he was younger, he was bullied in school, [[CassandraTruth and no one believed him when he tried to tell them of his situation]]. To add insult to injury, the bullies attacked Mr. Enter with ''pepper spray'' for doing so! It's the reason he doesn't like [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic "One Bad Apple"]] (which teaches, among other things, that retaliating against a bully [[HeWhoFightsMonsters makes you a bully]]).
** This culminates in his essay [[https://www.reddit.com/r/aspergers/comments/38l7wg/today_i_learned_that_pluto_is_a_planet/ "Today I Learned that Pluto is a Planet"]], where after a few years of hinting, he finally tells all about his DarkAndTroubledPast and how his parents and school system failed him for being a square peg in their round hole. Of particular note is the story where said parents confronted him about his bad grades when he was in 4th grade. Rather than try to understand his issues like GoodParents would, they forced him to put all the blame on himself by intimidating him to the point of tears and [[DeniedFoodAsPunishment taking his dinner away]] ''until flies got at it'' three hours later.

* In late October of 2021, Enter's mother died. 2 months later, he would go into further detail about her death, which was caused by a prescription drug overdose.

* Mr. Enter sounding almost on the verge of tears at the end of his ''WesternAnimation/TheEmojiMovie'' review. It is also important to note that sad piano music (specifically the [[VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles Agniratha [Night] ]] theme) starts playing in the background around the 40:30 mark.

* Quite a good number in his VideoGame/AlterEgo playthrough. Enter does note that some events can be CloseToHome for certain people (e.g. a domestic dispute).

--> "You wanna know how bad this is? I sat through ''[[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Electric Soldier Porygon]]'' which, contrary to popular belief, has flashing lights ''everywhere,'' and got through it with no issue."

* In the credits for his review of ''[[WesternAnimation/BojackHorseman The Telescope]]'', he fears that he and Bojack are NotSoDifferent, and he'll probably go down the same path.

--> '''Mr. Enter''': I know that this is hard to hear to some, but Fairly OddParents isn't even on life support anymore. [[WhamLine IT IS]] ''[[WhamLine DEAD]]''. It has probably been dead since those live action movies. There are only two ways the show can keep going from now on. It can either be like ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' and basically be a zombie, moving around without really breathing and doing literally nothing, just taking up air time for all of eternity, or it can be like ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' and keep trying to do desperate things to drag in more viewers, digging into lower and lower depths. [[MoodWhiplash I'm still waiting on Cletus the Rapping Shark]]. It's time to move on and leave this show in the past with any dignity that it might still have.

* The end of WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents episode “The Big Fairy Scare Share, where he laments on how the show has [[SeasonalRot gone downhill]] and how unfathomable it has become for him. How he feels about one of his favorite shows decline in quality is pretty depressing, too;

-->'''Mr Enter''': Nothing is sadder [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot than wasted potential]].
** He even went as far as to create [[http://mrenter.deviantart.com/art/Concept-Art-Family-Photo-468339167 his own show based on Flip-Flopped]].

* In his "Top 11 Worst Episodes" list from 2013, he gives a shout out to ''{{WebAnimation/Eddsworld}}'' by comparing it positively to the failed animated version of ''Webcomic/CtrlAltDel''; after the shout out, he says: "And may [Edd Gould] rest in peace."
* From watching his review of [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E22TestingTesting123 "Testing Testing, 1, 2, 3"]], his cynical tirade on how Twilight's original method of educating Rainbow Dash is the only accepted method of teaching students and how he dislikes the school system, especially since Mr Enter had a terrible experience with school (he even goes so far as to say that the school system only works with Twilight's method of studying and that it fails you by design if you don't adhere to that one method).

* His video [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ov8HHPuW6GU We Need to Talk]] is a heartfelt video involving Mr Enter calmly talking about his feelings about his career. It tends to get rather depressing, if not outright sobering at some points.

** And then there's the story from when he was younger, when he tried to tell an adult that he was being bullied. Not only did the bullies attack Mr. Enter with ''pepper spray'' for doing so, the adults he tried to tell about the incident ''[[AdultsAreUseless didn't believe him]]''. It's the reason he doesn't like the moral of [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic "One Bad Apple"]] (which not only gives the message that telling an adult is the end-all be-all solution to bullying, but retaliating against a bully [[HeWhoFightsMonsters makes you a bully]]).

* Mr. Enter's ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing2019'' Animated Atrocities review has some sad moments, including Mr. Enter's 18-year-old self inadvertently bringing up his 28-year-old self's BrokenPedestal for not only Extra Credits, but also JK Rowling and seeing both of his adult selves contrasting with his child self's [[UsedToBeASweetKid cheeriness and energy]]. The former hits especially hard, as teen Mr. Enter mentions that Extra Credits was helping him through the stressful period he's been going through--adult Mr. Enter evidently can't bring himself to inform his younger self that this isn't going to last.

-->'''Mr Enter''': I can't, but now I guess I have an understanding if you choose to.

** He's even went as far as to create [[http://mrenter.deviantart.com/art/Concept-Art-Family-Photo-468339167 his own show based on Flip-Flopped]].

** On a similar note, his pick for the fourth worst cartoon of the 2010s, ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls2016''. Due to the many UnfortunateImplications and bad decisions in the show, he feels like the writers of the reboot hated the original show and were deliberately trying to destroy the franchise, with Enter ending the entry by saying that he doesn't want anything to do with the ''Franchise/ThePowerpuffGirls'' franchise anymore because of it. On top of that, John actually sounds genuinely angry when criticizing the show during this scene.

** Teenage Enter also implies he considered suicide, when he briefly wonders if he "made the right choice" after present Enter starts to get him down, to which the latter, [[OutOfCharacterIsSeriousBusiness despite his current pessimistic attitude]], immediately tells him "No, you made the right choice."

* Enter's BrokenPedestal regarding WebAnimation/ExtraCredits in a two-part episode "Designing Ethical Web Series" and "Political and Hypocritical" regarding their selling out and not sticking up for the little guy as they used to. His final statement on them is a brutal CallBack to earlier when they claimed games could be better.
-->'''Mr. Enter''': [[IronicEcho Yeah, video games could be better. I don't think I can say the same for Extra Credits]].

* During a livestream in July 2020, Mr. Enter announced he would be ending Admirable Animations because he no longer enjoyed making them.
