Line #17 Funny/JennyNicholson


1	[[foldercontrol]]
2	[[folder:Escape from Tomorrow is a dumb exercise in misery]]
3	* Her trying to untangle and make sense of the plot leads to this gem:
4	-->'''Jenny:''' Are they just evil demons of seduction, [[VillainsOutShopping but also, they like to take a lunch break and go look at the aquarium]]? If that's the answer, I guess they're the most relatable characters in the whole movie!
5	* Her impersonation of the film's writer/director Randy Moore's likely reaction to the moment where the camera tilts upwards and happened to register that a skywriter has written "JESUS" in the sky above Disneyland:
6	-->'''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'''!? Things people watch and enjoy are ''like a religion''! Sport is like a religion! One time I went to a music concert and everybody clapped! Music is like a religion! I stood in a long line to buy groceries! Groceries are '''like a religion'''! All these dumb sheeple! ''Buying eggs''!" [''[[{{Corpsing}} Jenny starts to crack herself up at this point]]'']

9	[[folder:Is Forces of Destiny good?]]
10	* [[RhetoricalQuestionBlunder "No."]] the [[BluntNo very blunt]] first line of the video.
11	* Her pre-emptively describing the video as "a needlessly long and savage takedown of an unpopular, but pretty benign doll line".
12	* Jenny assesses the [[RecycledScript the cut-and-paste plots]] of the web series' first season, tying in to how the dolls are usually accompanied by a companion to nurture and protect.
13	-->'''Jenny:''' Leia comes with an ewok, Luke comes with Yoda, [[FoeYayShipping and Rey comes with Kylo Ren!]]
14	* "Okay, I'm gonna drive this problem home for you. [[SidetrackedByTheAnalogy Hop in my car, problem! I'll give you a lift.]]"
15	* Jenny's example in discussing brand/character integrity, a philosophy to ensure that characters remain in-character as to not debase their value:
16	-->'''Jenny:''' That's why if you meet Kylo Ren at Disneyland and try to hug him, you get yelled at. [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial Not that I tried to hug him. But if you do, that's what happens.]]
17	* While going over the quality of the actual dolls, Jenny examines how their "action feature" mostly looks like the dolls just twitching their torsos to give an impression of of swinging an item, which leaves her pretty unimpressed... except for [[Film/RogueOne Jyn Erso]], whose violent thrashing motion is described as bringing "the absolute brutal smackdown." During TheStinger, Jenny finds immediate glee upon unpacking the Jyn doll from just how intense-looking her action is.
18	-->'''Jenny:''' I fully appreciate that Rey swinging her lightsaber looks like ''nothing'', Leia with her blaster looks like ''nothing'', and Jyn, swinging a baton to savagely beat you over the head? To your death? Looks pretty good, pretty on the money!
19	* While going over the fact that most of the dolls' clothes are sculpted on, she goes over [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack Hoth Leia]]:
20	--->'''Jenny:''' You ''can'' take off her boots off, and I'm having trouble wrapping my head around that one. [[DidntThinkThisThrough How does this enhance the doll when all her other clothes are permanently attached?]] Do you think I'm gonna send her out on the snows of Hoth with a bare foot?
21	* Jenny's explanation for why the most naked you can get the Kylo Ren doll is down to his black jumpsuit is that he's canonically a [[Series/ArrestedDevelopment never-nude]].
22	* Jenny describing her trials with the [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Sabine]] doll, and how immediately discovering you can remove her pants, she did so and put her boots back on, but they ended up stuck on her feet, leaving Jenny [[NakedPeopleAreFunny unable to clothe her again]]. She also notes the FridgeLogic of how there are no alternate clothes for the dolls to wear, meaning that Sabine's only playmodes are "pants on, pants off, and there's no other option."
23	-->'''Jenny:''' Where's our webisode unpacking this story element?
24	* On the topic of the sculpted-on clothes, Jenny notes how even if you got third-party doll clothes, it would still look really awkward if you tried to dress the ''Forces of Destiny'' dolls in them... which is why she proceeded to do exactly that, giving a brief [[FashionShopFashionShow fashion montage]] of the dolls in their new outfits, [[WholesomeCrossdresser including Kylo Ren.]]
25	-->'''Jenny:''' ''(holding up Kylo)'' Okay, I can't deny that I like this one.
26	* "Do you think seeing Flash-animated Jyn Erso rescue a cat will inspire more imagination than the entirety of ''Film/RogueOne''? ''(cut)'' [[TakeThat Well, I mean, maybe]]. I shouldn't have chosen ''Rogue One'' as my example."
27	* During her rundown of various ways to improve the line, Jenny proposes reworking it into LighterAndSofter non-canon fare, with much simpler storylines for webisodes.
28	-->'''Jenny:''' Kelsi is afraid she won't pass her Jedi trials! Layla likes a boy but doesn't know how tell him! [[BreadMilkEggsSquick Megan found a Sith holocron and is drawn to the dark side and the power it brings!]]
29	** During TheStinger, Jenny expresses regret at having gone through the entire video not having mentioned the best ''Forces of Destiny'' doll: [[Film/ThePhantomMenace Chancellor Valorum.]]
30	[[/folder]]
31
32	[[folder:Well, I guess SOMEBODY had to read "Trigger Warning"]]
33	* While describing the buildup prior to [[Literature/TriggerWarning the book]]'s release:
34	--> '''Jenny:''' I've heard a lot of buzz around this book, and...it's negative buzz. [[{{Metaphorgotten}} It's like wasps, instead of bumblebees.]]
35	* Jenny spares no time mocking how the book -- outright titled ''Trigger Warning'' -- is a diatribe against "sensitive snowflakes", yet depicts its [[InvincibleHero alpha-male protagonist]] having [[FlashbackEcho a PTSD-induced flashback]] in the first few chapters.
36	-->'''Jenny:''' So what appears to have just happened is that [[ShellShockedVeteran Jake had a horrible flashback to some very violent and disturbing memories which caused him lingering trauma from his time in the war]] because of [[TraumaButton a thing that was happening currently which reminded him too strongly of it.]] And I feel like... ''(holds up the book)'' ...[[{{Irony}} there's a word for that]]...
37	* Jenny's interpretation of a scene where Jake [[PunchCatch catches the incoming punch]] from an Antifa aggressor as straight out of a HotBlooded action anime.
38	* At one point as the terrorist attack takes place, the character Dr. Matumbo (a character whose ancestors were colonialists in French Equatorial Africa, but personally identifies as African-American) internally ruminates on his violent, imperialist ancestors, somehow transitioning to thinking how he would welcome them with open arms if they showed up at this life-or-death situation for him. Jenny is understandably completely baffled by this train of InsaneTrollLogic.
39	-->'''Jenny:''' I would imagine that no matter what life-threatening situation I found myself in, I wouldn't suddenly start to think "Gosh... [[NonSequitur I would even accept the help of the Zodiac Killer right now! Why did I always hate the Zodiac Killer? Y'know, I always had really unkind thoughts about the Zodiac Killer, but if they could somehow magically appear right here and now, and decide to save me from the bad thing that was happening, I would just feel like an idiot for not liking them!"]]
40	* ''[[ItMakesSenseInContext "His nose, which was on the prominent side, made sure that the noise it produced was loud and resonant."]]''
41	-->'''Jenny:''' ''[[ARareSentence What kind of a sentence was tha]]''--
42	[[/folder]]
43
44	[[folder:Please take Toy Story 4 away from me]]
45	* Her incredulous analysis of the [[EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory "Andy/all Kids as God"]] thematic reading:
46	-->'''Jenny:''' And who... ''fights'' for ''God's attention''?? Who feels anxiety that will replace them with a cool space man? Thematically, what are we meant to understand from Woody's reassurance to Jessie that Andy "has a little sister"-- if your God forsakes you, you can just... switch to another religion? With a different, younger god?
47	* Her analysis of WesternAnimation/ToyStory2 from the lens of the "mortality and the acceptance of it" theme:
48	-->'''Jenny:''' The museum is immortality, I guess? It's living an unfulfilled, but endless life? So the moral of Toy Story 2 is actually [[SpaceWhaleAesop "do not become a vampire"]]. Man, a vampire who looks and speaks like Woody would be a delight, though.
49	[[/folder]]
50
51	[[folder:Spider Reviews]]
52	* The premise of the video, that being Jenny sharing her pastime of looking at Amazon reviews for fake spiders.
53	* One review describes the spider as having "glowing eyes and a squeaking voice".
54	--> '''Jenny''': That's the feedback I get about myself, also.
55	* One review rambles off on a tangent as the reviewer discusses scaring his wife with the reviewed spider and then derails to discuss an unrelated, irrelevant incident where his wife scared him once, in needless lengthy detail. As Jenny continues to read the long review, the rating from the review that "2 people found this helpful" slowly fades in in an incredulous form of editing snark.
56	* Jenny is simultaneously laughing and concerned from a review of a spider by a dad who bought the spider for his son because he had no friends. It gets worse when the review bemoans the spider's shoddy construction because if it breaks, the son will be "friendless again".
57	-->'''Jenny:''' ''That's the worst thing I've ever read-''
58	* Two reviews mention using the fake spiders to scare away birds, and one mentions using it in the car to prevent theft. Jenny is surprised, and asks in disbelief who's out there [[MundaneUtility using these novelty spiders as scarecrows]] rather than toys or spooky décor.
59	* One review says its spider is shoddily made and bemoans the pursuit of money in favor of quality products. Jenny decides to interpret it as pertains very specifically to the topic of the video.
60	-->'''Jenny:''' It's such a shame to see corporate greed destroying the giant spider industry...
61	[[/folder]]
62
63	[[folder:An Excruciatingly Deep Dive into the Avatar Theme Park]]
64	* Jenny once again segments her review in a numbered list, but titling each chapter 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."
65	* While laying the groundwork of Ride/WaltDisneyWorld 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."
66	* "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."
67	* Jenny takes a while to discuss 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:
68	-->'''Jenny''': Did we bring the Na'vi around to our culture? Are they buying iPhones and Beats by Dre?
69	* "I mean, [''Avatar''] [[JustForFun/RecycledInSpace was basically just]] ''Film/DancesWithWolves'' -- like, everybody compared it to ''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''."
70	* 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]].
71	* "[[ItMakesSenseInContext Big jellies?]] ''([[BoldInflation giant subtitles appear]])'' BIG JELLIES."
72	* 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.
73	-->'''Jenny''': I mean the part I like about the 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]].
74	* The ending of the video has her discussing the weird, atmosphere-generating pod, complete with accompanying video clip.
75	--> '''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. 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]].
76	[[/folder]]
77
78	[[folder:DUMBO SLAPS]]
79	* One before the video even starts: the thumbnail has a [[FootnoteFever note in asterisks]] indicating that she means [[Film/Dumbo2019 the 2019 one]].
80	* Throughout the video, Jenny refers to Milly and Joe as "Girl Child" and "Boy Child", as she can't remember their names.
81	* Jenny is incredulous at the kids renaming Jumbo Jr. to Dumbo permanently:
82	-->'''Milly:''' If we call him Jumbo Jr, it might make him miss mom.
83	-->'''Jenny:''' Yeah, that makes sense. You don't want to remind him he's an orphan, so permanently changing his name to ''Fat Face [=McFreaknose=]'' is the kinder alternative.
84	* While recapping Milly's arc, Jenny makes note of, but [[CouldSayItBut declines to comment on]], how often Tim Burton movies fall back on a character's arc being about having a difficult relationship with their father.
85	* In between her commentary, Jenny gets in a few {{Weird Aside}}s:
86	--> ''(picking up a novelty Casey Jr. popcorn tub)'' How did I forget to put this in the video when it's ''my favorite thing I own''...
87	--> ''(switching her camera on)'' Start a new recording...I am flying through this. ''Flying through it like Dumbooo...''
88	[[/folder]]
89
90	[[folder:I read the terrible Episode IX pitch where Rey is a robot]]
91	* Jenny admits that she knows nothing about Alan Dean Foster and is just reading his credentials off Wikipedia, adding that it looks like he wrote the article himself since it includes unsourced emotional reactions he had to moments in ''Star Wars''.
92	-->'''Jenny:''' Citation needed. ''[[{{Corpsing}} cracks up]]''
93	* "''Resurgence: Episode IX''. [[SarcasmMode Fitting perfectly into the Star Wars naming conventions.]]"
94	* There's a RunningGag that no one likes Poe.
95	** After Leia's death, everyone elects Finn as the new leader of the Resistance, despite the previous movie very clearly setting up Poe as the next leader. Jenny thinks Poe ''also'' assumed he'd be the new leader, but didn't want to seem petty after no one remembered he exists.
96	** [[TheUnintelligible Chewbacca, R2-D2, and BB-8]] go with Poe to somehow recruit an army for the Resistance, while ''every single main character that can speak English'' goes with Rey. Jenny asks if Poe drew the short straw or something.
97	** After the First Order takes over the planet where Poe is gathering forces, he informs Rey that he won't be able to help her. "Oh no! I'm sure she's ''so sad'' that Poe can't make it!"
98	* The dialogue exchange when Snoke appears: "Ren says "Impossible! You're dead!" Snoke says "Killed me? Yes you did. Want to kill me again?"
99	-->'''Jenny:''' Is the dialogue always like this, because if so [[SoBadItsGood I kinda do want to read his books now.]]
100	* Jenny can't help but snicker at the line "A younger, muscular, and even handsome figure we recognize as Snoke", complete with a badly photoshopped image of an unscarred Snoke face a hunk's body. She ends up completely breaking at the revelation that Snoke fought Obi-Wan and fell into a vat of chemicals.
101	-->'''Jenny:''' Don't you just hate when your nemesis is trying to turn you to the side of good in a chemical factory? Ain't that just the way? I guess it's all worth it if we get to see buff Snoke. I'm 1,000,000% on board for this {{flashback}}.
102	* As Snoke clones start marching into the room, the start of ''Film/TooManyCooks'' plays but with Cooks replaced with Snokes. The first guy that smiles at the camera is labeled "Snoke pre-vat".
103	* Luke coming BackFromTheDead boils down to him dying for a bit because he was too tired, then just deciding to come back to life again.
104	* Jenny succinctly summarizes everything ridiculous about the script:
105	-->'''Jenny:''' I always knew the sequel trilogy would end here, on Coruscant, with the main character of another trilogy fighting an army of clones of a guy he has no personal connection to. There are a lot of lightsabers here, so technically this is a really good action sequence.
106	* At one point, Luke picks up two lightsabers and starts spinning to mow down scores of Snoke clones, which is described as "[[{{Narm}} a veritable dervish]]". This leads into a rant about the FanDumb and how anyone who complained about [[Film/TheLastJedi Leia flying through space]] is disqualified from defending "veritable dervish Luke Skywalker".
107	* "Turning in something this tragically bad and ending with a note about how it's better than the most recent film is a bold move."
108	[[/folder]]
109
110	[[folder:Well, Let's read Colin Trevorrow's Episode IX script]]
111	* To her incredible amusement, both the Alan Dean Foster and Colin Trevorrow scripts use the phrase "[[ShapedLikeItself throne-like chair]]".
112	* When Rey mind tricks Poe Dameron into leaving she points out that it's only supposed to work on idiots, and suggests as alternative:
113	-->'''Jenny:''' She should have just done the [[ShooTheDog tried and true method]] of hurling rocks at Poe and yelling "Go on! Get out of here!"
114	* A building is described as looking like a spinning top, and Jenny adds "[[CallBack a veritable dervish!]]"
115	* The introduction of Tor Valum has a description of his BizarreAlienLocomotion that Jenny compares to a dazzling circus act, as well as him being extremely coy to Kylo whether or not he is a Sith. This leads to Jenny speculating that this is actually some random circus performer that happens to be named Tor Valum, and Kylo accidently agreed to become his protégé at a trapeze act.
116	* She gives Tor Valum's death a quick review of how stupid and pointless all his actions were leading up to it, and finishes with a dismissal that would be an excellent BondOneLiner.
117	--> '''Jenny:''' Wow he died the way he lived, ''wasting my time.''
118	[[/folder]]
119
120	[[folder:I'm on lockdown so I watched all 14 Land Before Times]]
121	* When describing ''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime'' XIII, she takes the time to highlight three characters...
122	--> "The Yellow Bellies are named... Loofah, Doofah and Foobie. [[BrutalHonesty I hate them terribly.]]"
123	* She describes the entire series as the "Now That's What I Call Music of film franchises."
124	* Her wonderfully deadpan delivery of a character's canonical name: [[EuphemisticNames Daddy Topps]].
125	[[/folder]]
126
127	[[folder:The Last Bronycon: a fandom autopsy]]
128	* She says that she'd like to describe a ''Fanfic/FalloutEquestria'' plush as the weirdest thing she owns, before admitting that it's probably even not the weirdest thing in the frame. (That prize probably goes to the [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Twilight Sparkle]] body pillow.)
129	* 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".
130	* 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/TheHunchbackOfNotreDameDisney'' and the Gypsy Horse - not realising it was a slur for the Romani. Despite having realised and stopped using the word in later episodes, the songs featuring it ended up getting a resurgence on [=TikTok=].
131	--> "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?"
132	** And then elaborating further...
133	---> "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."
134	[[/folder]]
135
136	[[folder:There's something wrong with Hallmark's youtube channel]]
137	* While trying to untangle [[PassiveAggressiveKombat the inexplicably and bizarrely tense friction]] between Nicole and Lauren, Jenny's left astounded by just how snippy Nicole in particular gets (ex. "[[StealthInsult Lauren just likes tequila because it's low-carb.]])
138	** Especially her astounded, exasperated ''"NICOOOLE!"'' as the latter gets in yet another snipe.
139	* Jenny notes how simplistic and improvisational the crafts she discusses are, sometimes wondering if they need a tutorial. Examples include a "spooky" drink with grapes and plastic spiders chucked in on a whim, a lighted bottle craft that's literally "buy a string of lights for wine bottles and use it" and the concept of ''reusing wine bottles to serve water''.
140	* Jenny correcting the hosts talking about a part from the hardware store as a "fitting" and noting that viewers aren't going to get help by asking an employee where the "fittings" are. She then imagines a Hallmark caricature doing so--a woman with a purse full of tequila bottles and wearing a statement necklace asking where the "fittings" are.
141	** As several people pointed out in the comments, the coupling the project calls for really ''is'' a type of pipe fitting and you would need the bottles to get one with compatible threading. So the scenario is actually ''realistic''.
142	* When Jenny notices the host has changed from Nicole (the original host) to Thea (formerly a guest host), she treats it like a [[SeriousBusiness deadly serious]] Game-of-Thrones-esque power play, with Thea conspiring with another guest, Alyissa, to take the position.
143	-->'''Jenny:''' Nicole thought Lauren was her enemy, but all along ''twas Thea'', hiding in plain sight, aided by the duplicitous Alyissa! Look at them, celebrating their treason. A toast to Queen Thea! Long may she reign!
144	[[/folder]]
145
146	[[folder:THE Vampire Diaries Video]]
147	* A RunningGag is that whenever she plays a clip from the show that fades to an ad break she will then play a clip from an [[MoodWhiplash ad for]] ''Series/ChinaBeach'' [[MoodWhiplash that played]] ''[[MoodWhiplash constantly]]'' [[MoodWhiplash when she first watched the show]].
148	* She has a lot of fun with the absolute bizarre choice to make Caroline's dad, one of the few gay characters in the show, a vampire hunter that tries to cure Caroline in a heavy-handed allegory for [[CureYourGays gay conversion therapy]]. It ends with him choosing to die instead of using vampire blood, which Jenny compares to [[AnalogyBackfire a disease that you can only cure by kissing one boy once]].
149	-->'''Jenny:''' ''(as Caroline's dad)'' I can't! I'm just too straight!
150	** Right beforehand:
151	--> '''Jenny:''' Oh, also when he's dying, Caroline is like, do you want me to call your boyfriend? Who has only existed off screen and whom you have supposedly been living with. And he's like, ''(totally deadpan)'' no, who cares?
152	** Later on, she talks about how most of the humans say "no thanks" to becoming a vampire, "or as Caroline's dad would say, "no homo"."
153	* The vampires are weak to something called vervain (they cannot compel anyone wearing it or who has ingested it), leading to this gem:
154	--> '''Jenny:''' For the record, vervain is the same thing as verbena. So if any of these late 2000s teens in the show are Bath & Body Works shoppers and their lotion of choice is Coconut Lime Verbena, they're basically invincible. Unfortunately, in modern times, Coconut Lime Verbena has been discontinued. So we're all gonna die and it's Bath & Body Works fault.
155	* When talking about the problems how Elena is passive as a protagonist, she covers a period in the show when Elena has become an evil vampire but still isn't all that engaging to watch:
156	--> '''Jenny:''' And contrast her against other vampires in evil mode. Other vampires are killing people, yeah, but they're also pouring margaritas and singing karaoke. And Elena is here like, I think I'll lie in the middle of the road.
157	** Later in the same bit, Evil Vamp Elena drops Caroline at a cheerleader meet with an attitude of DullSurprise and Jenny comments:
158	--> '''Jenny:''' And you look at her face after and she's not like (evil giggles), which is definitely how I'd be if I had just dropped Caroline, because it's hilarious.
159	* She charitably describes the Vampire Diaries Wiki as "[[PurpleProse too beautiful to understand.]]"
160	* When describing potential character arcs that Elena could have had to resolve her survivors' guilt, Jenny suggests that becoming a vampire could have resulted in Elena taking a healthier outlook on her own survival, with unexpected implications:
161	-->'''Jenny:''' A vampire's existence is inherently selfish. They need to drink blood to survive. So every day of Elena's existence would become an assertion that she has a right to live and a right to take up space. ({{Beat}}) I think I just implied that drinking blood is self care, but it's not ''not'' that, figuratively or literally.
162	* A brief funny moment is when Jenny notes that, due to the wording used, the Vampire Diaries Wiki seems to inadvertently list Arcadius as being killed by the Music/VillagePeople.
163	-->'''Jenny:''' [[BrickJoke First they killed Caroline's dad, and now this.]]
164	* Her outfit changes several times over the course of the video. Around the time she starts talking about costumes she has a custom t-shirt that says "Giant Spider & Damon" over what appears to be a photoshop of her giant stuffed Aragog with a promo still of Damon.
165	* Jenny's breakdown over the show's [[DeathIsCheap increasingly arbitrary rules of death and preventing/undoing it]] provides us this gem while discussing [[ProtectiveCharm a magical ring that prevents humans from dying]], but only under very weird conditions.
166	-->'''Jenny:''' If you are human, you will only be resurrected if you are killed by a supernatural creature, which also includes mundane ways to die like blunt force trauma, as long as it's being inflicted by a supernatural creature. So it won't work if you're hit by a bus, but it will work if a vampire is driving the bus.
167	** Which also referenced in the conclusion section of the video:
168	-->'''Jenny:''' (...) The way they handled [[TokenMinority Bonnie]]'s character like a total bus crash. The kind where the bus is being driven by a vampire, [[SideTrackedByTheAnalogy and the problem is wearing a magic ring, so it never dies]].
169	* Describing her experience of the licensed PointAndClickGame (based on the original books, not the TV series), in which she had trouble understanding where she was supposed to go and spent a lot of time just talking to the same six characters in the same order in the hope of getting a clue or moving the plot forward and then going to bed to change from day to night and repeating the process, as a "depression simulator".
170	* [[BrickJoke Finding her missing "Racism" post-it]] behind "The [[TokenMinority Bonnie]] Problem" post-it.
171	* After showing the final scene of the series, she cuts to the closing credits [[BaitAndSwitch of the aforementioned video game]].
172	[[/folder]]
173
174	[[folder:A needlessly thorough roast of Dear Evan Hansen (2021)]]
175	* 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 its 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.
176	* 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.
177	--> In shambles this big, hunching mop-headed man, eyes sunken into his artificially puffy face, warbling out high notes like an anxious Jiminy Cricket.
178	--> You see him in the film, inexplicably looking like some sweaty 90's sitcom dad made of melting wax.
179	--> There's something twisted and unnatural about him like you're looking at a ''Film/MissionImpossible'' style mask of his face.
180	--> It looks like his face is trying to escape his head.
181	--> [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.
182	* Just the fact that Jenny is actually older than Ben Platt but looks so young for her age (about as much as he looks old for his) that if you don't know you'd think he had at least ten years on her makes the segment extra hilarious.
183	* Jenny's segment of the video critiquing the poor integration of the music continues the theme, being titled "Mommy, Why is the Scary Man Singing?"
184	* During a segment critiquing the use of Zoe, Connor's sister, as a love interest Evan is pursuing through his lie, Jenny has a bit of fun deliberately misinterpreting some awkward dialogue where Zoe talks to her mom about how Connor threatened her.
185	-->'''Zoe:''' How about the time he punched through my door, screaming at the top of his lungs, saying that he was going to kill me, for no reason?
186	-->'''Jenny (sarcastically):''' ''Wow, I can't believe he told her it was for no reason-''
187	* 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]].
188	-->'''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.]]
189	* Jenny has an extended analysis of the "Words Fail" number -- where Evan [[LiarRevealed finally confesses to the lie that he was ever close to their late son]] -- explaining that due to the film's odd directing choices and overall poor handling of MusicalWorldHypotheses, it gives the impression Evan is ''literally'' [[CrossesTheLineTwice singing to a grieving family his confession apropos of nothing]], [[CringeComedy who react with a mixture of horror, confusion, and overall awkward discomfort.]]
190	-->'''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.
191	* Jenny mentions a moment where she "screamed in fear" because the awkward blocking of one scene made it look like Evan was about to kiss his mother on the mouth.

194	[[folder:The Church Play Cinematic Universe]]
195	* During a production that copies the aesthetics of the ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' films, she notes one militaristic dance song that she hates which she states clearly just subbed the words Captain Jack into whatever the original lyrics were. Cue almost every ''VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution'' player in the comments remarking that [[AluminumChristmasTrees the church changed nothing]], as the song is one of the [[OneHitWonder biggest hits]] by eurodance artist Captain Jack.
196	* While commenting on the painfully stereotypical Mexican bandits in the ''{{Film/Tombstone}}'' play[[note]] Which is more of a general Western play but uses the name[[/note]], she notes that she doesn't know the nationality of the guy playing the head bandit, so maybe he's also Mexican and allowed to do that. Then she sees the ''even more'' stereotypical Asian coffin salesman played by the church's [[YellowFace obviously white pastor]].
197	-->'''Jenny:''' Okay, I think I can pretty confidently say that one's not okay!
198	* Jenny is consistently surprised by the production values of the shows, possibly peaking at the [[NarmCharm Mobility Scooter Delorean]] in the ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture'' play, mostly owning to the fact that it not only works but has ''proper Delorean wing doors''!
199	** Jenny also admits that by the time of the [[ARareSentence regularly scheduled crucifixion]] that with the bizarre pacing of the plot, lack of any actual narrative action, and abruptness of how quickly Doc and [[AdaptationNameChange Jessie]][[note]] Name changed from Marty because they wanted his mom to sing ''Jessie's Girl'' and seemingly no other reason[[/note]] return to the present that she had completely forgotten that ''someone'' was going to get put on a cross, which made Jessie suddenly getting crucified by the clock tower after accomplishing nothing all the more shocking.
200	* While not particularly impressed with the church's ''Film/TheAvengers2012'' play she is absolutely ''ecstatic'' when it not only has a song ''during'' the crucifixion, it's a mash-up between {{Music/REM}}'s ''End of the World As We Know It'' and {{Music/Chumbawamba}}'s ''Tubthumping'' sung by Loki and a still-not-dead Iron Man.
201	** She also muses that it would've been hilarious if this had been Creator/ChrisPratt's church and the world found out via his cameo in a cheap Star-Lord costume.
202	* When she gets to the ''Franchise/ToyStory'' play, Jenny describes [[TemptingFate how ecstatic she was for this one]] simply because it's Easter-themed ''Toy Story'', goes on to praise the set and costumes...and then she wonders why Mr. Potato Head [[UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump is wearing a blonde wig]]. Cue a [[ThisIsGonnaSuck resigned]] "Oh, ''no"'' once he opens his mouth.

205	[[folder:Evermore: The Theme Park That Wasn't]]
206	* "The park looks a lot better in the dark, which is a compliment I get a lot too."
207	* After using a lot of B-roll from vloggers, she cuts to a scene from ''Film/TheFellowshipOfTheRing'' briefly and the [[FunnyBackgroundEvent footage is credited]] to "Baggins Family VLOG Channel".
208	* This [[ARareSentence rare sentence]] (on the safety of using pyrotechnics around children):
209	--> '''Jenny:''' I guess Utah is apparently the Wild West, and this is a thing you can just do there, as long as your project is considered "theater". But surely even Utahns are within their right to file lawsuits if their children are immolated by a warlock.
210	* Jenny's experience of trying to order soup.
211	--> '''Jenny:''' I tried to order the soup, because I love soup, and they said nobody had ordered the soup that day, so they hadn't made it. And can I just point out, if I'm the only customer, and I order soup, then technically, everybody is ordering soup.
212	* In the same segment, she plays a video she found of the restaurant's chef saying how much he hates it when people request alterations to the food, and says she wishes she'd asked for an alteration just to see what he'd say. (She's also dressed like a wizard, complete with a cheap fake beard, which just makes it even funnier.)
213	-->'''Jenny''': Tell the chef that I want a Kraft single draped across my grilled Atlantic salmon like a blanket, and if he doesn't like it, he can meet me in the parking lot.
214	* Any time Jenny quotes a legal report or email from Evermore staff, she has a friend narrate it while using a silly fantasy-themed hand puppet.
215	** Even funnier is the sheer number of comments that admit they took awhile to realize the puppets were a Jenny thing and not an official Evermore communication.
216	** At one point a dragon puppet reads a quote while wearing glasses, which soon slide off of its snout and disappear off-camera. The puppet continues to read without skipping a beat.

219	[[folder:Miscellaneous]]
220	* In her video on ''Film/{{Solo}}'', Jenny examines the story beat of where Han's surname "Solo" came from (assigned to him by an officer in response to him saying he's a loner) as being one of the dumbest parts of the movie, [[FridgeLogic raising questions]] on the naming conventions of the ''Star Wars'' universe, including this one:
221	-->'''Jenny:''' If Han Solo's name is supposed to be literal, and that's something that characters in this universe are capable of recognizing... who promoted ''[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast General Grievous]]?'' [[SarcasmMode "This Grievous guy, he's a good candidate!"]] Why wasn't Darth Vader like "oh... you're naming me the German word for 'father'? That's a bit cruel, actually, because you just told me that my wife and babies died! That's true, isn't it?"
222	* Her criticisms of ''Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker'' have some great line delivery:
223	-->'''Jenny:''' Number thirteen is Finn's "arc", but when I wrote 'arc' I put it in quotes to indicate my disdain.
224	-->'''Jenny:''' Rey, honey, your parents just also [[ItMakesSenseInContext left in a blue Honda Civic]], it's not the same one.
225	-->'''Jenny:''' I guess the reason [Kylo Ren] had no dialogue [from the moment of his [[HeelFaceTurn redemption]] to the end of the film] is probably that the MPAA says you can only [[SayMyName shout "Rey!"]] 27 times in your film before they bump you up to an "R" rating, and obviously Finn had blown through their quota.
226	* In her review of ''Film/ReadyPlayerOne'', she points out how odd it is that there were no furries in sight. She says she's been on the internet long enough to know that 30% of the avatars in this world should be furries.
227	-->'''Jenny:''' Yeah, I saw like 3 non-human avatars, but they looked like mythical beasts or video game monsters, I'm talking full fur. I didn't see one avatar that was a grotesquely buff shirtless male anthropomorphic wolf with like, spikey bangs that are dyed like some cool rave colors and anime eyes.
228	* From "''WesternAnimation/Incredibles2'', Creator/BradBird, And Theme":
229	-->'''Jenny:''' Yes, Screenslaver, I guess the whole reason I like Incredibles 2 is because I'm ''too lazy'' to get off the couch and stop a speeding ocean liner with ''ice I shoot from my hands''!
230	* From "The Grim Dystopia of ''Film/AChristmasPrince''", her description of [[RootingForTheEmpire why the first film's antagonist]] ''should'' have held the throne: he's better educated, he never tries to abdicate the responsibilities of the position, and "[[DullSurprise unlike Richard]], he can move the muscles in his face to convey emotion!"
231	* In "25 Knights of Ren Theories", she discusses different theories about who the Knights of Ren could be prior to Episode IX's release, with varying degrees of silliness. Some highlights:
232	** They're the evil prototypes of [=BB8=], named [=BB1=] through 7.
233	** "Knights of Ren" is a poorly-named fighting style that Kylo has mastered.
234	** It's the entire cast of ''Film/{{Solo}}'', disappointed that their movie didn't do good enough for a sequel.
235	** They're all Darth Vader fanboys wearing exact replicas of Darth Vader's costume. Kylo's was also supposed to be an exact replica, but he just did a really bad job.
236	** The Knights of Ren is Snoke, and we all heavily misread the relationship between him and Kylo.
237	** The Knights of Ren are Rey's parents. The were really bad parents.
238	* Her apology video as Danaerys from ''Series/GameOfThrones'', in which she talks about the events in the final season, such as her killing Varys, as if she were a [=YouTube=] celebrity tearfully apologising for some offence on social media.
239	-->'''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]].
240	** Made even better by the fact that there's a fake video progress bar at the bottom with about 20 ads in it and a persistent popup begging viewers to buy Dany's "healthy hair gummies," making the insincerity of the whole thing extra obvious.
241	* 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.
242	* From her video on {{Film/Tomorrowland}}, the RunningGag of her referring to Nix from the end of the movie as "Creator/HughLaurie in a crazy space jacket", complete with a different picture of him in the jacket every time.
243	* "SPIDERQUEST: Quest For the Man-Sized Spider" details a road trip Jenny went on to acquire a giant FAO Schwarz plush of Aragog the Acromantula. One segment sees Jenny's traveling party visiting the remnants of a defunct ''Flintstones'' theme park, and to Jenny's surprise, she finds herself being called a fake fan --of '''''The Flintstones'''''-- by a man in the gift shop accusing her of never having watched the cartoon. People in the comments share her incredulity at being gatekept by a guy even in such a remote location and unpopular niche. She doesn't mention it, but Jenny was also wearing a thematically appropriate leopard-print dress as well, making the guy's disbelief she watched the show even funnier.
244	* Jenny's increasingly possessive attitude towards Buzzy in the ''Ride/CraniumCommand'' video. She goes from introducing him as "[Disney's] boy" to "''our'' boy" to outright ordering the audience to give him to her should his animatronic be found.
245	--> '''Jenny:''' That boy is ''mine''. (''closes in on camera'') BRING THE BOY TO ME-
