4:03 YEEEEEAAAASSSSSS

3:22 FINALLY SOMEKNE LIKE ME

As a wise and elegant computer robot thing that has the head shape of an alien said once: "There's nothing wrong with him, he's just annoying." And that sums up his character, he's no evil no good character that has Andrew Tate levels of weirdness. He's just an annoying little shit and i love that for him

One of the most tragic aspects of Berdly’s death is that he’s denied the chance to grow. We’re telling this character “you’re obnoxious and irrelevant, so no, you don’t get the chance to change.” I’ve seen this happen to people in real life. It’s cruel.

My historical dislike of Berdly makes a bit more sense considering I initially found Papyrus really annoying in Undertale. The similarity between the two definitely exists, but the odds are stacked pretty far against Berdly: he lacks Papyrus's redeeming qualities, doesn't have a hilarious date segment where you're forced to see his good side, and he's missing the counterpart character of Sans to break through the comedy and call you out for judging his brother too harshly. I think if even one character genuinely went to bat for Berdly in chapter 2 it would go a long way toward priming the player to forgive his flaws, since you'd be reminded that your perspective on him is incomplete, and that you yourself are being arrogant for writing off a person that someone else knows well enough to care about. The problem is that, seemingly, no one actually does lol. Even the characters who have known Berdly since childhood just want to avoid him, and the overall writing of the chapter finds little time to sympathize with him rather than making him the butt of joke after joke. I still don't feel much fondness for Berdly, but I've also been immersed in enough conversation about him (eg. this video) that I'm leaning toward the issue being less with the fundamental concept of Berdly's character, and more with his execution. And not like... the snowgrave kind of execution. You know. Clearly Berdly has enough complexity to be drilled into with analysis, but I still struggle to connect these takes to the actual _experience_ of Berdly, in Deltarune. His greatest crime is probably just being a comedic relief character that I didn't find funny, and a supposedly sympathetic character who's "face turn" scene felt weak compared to Toby Fox's usual standard, and was quickly brushed aside in favour of more jokes. I do relate to him, and he was indeed "me in highschool" to an extent, but I don't think I'll ever be able to care about him unless his character is taken further in chapter 3.

You’re my favorite Deltarune creator and I love hearing your analysis! Excited for the next video

I like him. I want to see more Berdley abuse.

Why is the quality to subscriber ratio always like 30 times higher on deltarune videos I dont get it

i can't believe you failed to mention berdly's well documented obsession with the founding fathers and his world-renowned mediterranean housing projects, not to mention his deeply politicized and societally prescient inability to have kids with his wife who hates him. truly, this video was merely an outline (english for umriss) of what it could have truly been.

minor note at the mention of the Dunning Kruger effect: the graph showing the point is autocorrelation, and it isn't an accurate representation of people's abilities to make self-assessments anyway cool vid :3

BERDLY NATION RISE UP!!!!

Birbly

Alphys wasn't annoying to me, she's just socially awkward. Just like --me-- Berdly. Unlike Burghley, I don't mask my social awkwardness with "gamer superiority".

The remote. Im calling it

4:04 Same dude 😭 It’s obviously not completely 1 to 1 for me, but there’s a lot of elements from Berdly’s backstory and character that are incredibly relatable to me and my life.

Berdly is unironically one of if not my favorite Deltarune characters.

That’s mah guyyyyyyy

3:18 What does this mean, is Alphys disliked within the community? As much as I enjoy Toby's works, I exist entirely on the outskirts of the community, so I don't know what kind of crowd perception has been attained of the characters.

"everyone knew one, in my youth it was me" - hilarious

I have been bullied my entire life in school, even in *kindergarten*, only the last year of high school was better when one of the dudes who kept bullying me asked me if i hated what he was doing to me and I told him that I did, which he apologised for because, apparently, he thought I was okay with it and that we were just messing around. It was surreal, I wasn't expecting that from him. HOWEVER, I still adore Susie because none of my bullies were like her. The guy I just mentioned was a privileged class clown who had no idea he was insulting me and making fun of me, while the other four were problematic children who I desperately tried leading to the right path but they just became more and more radicalised. Thankfully, it seems one of them has become better. Susie, on the other hand, is someone who is perceived as a bully because people show her hatred, which she tries reflecting by acting mean, cruel and scary. People like that, I befriend. That's why Noelle is never picked on - she showed her kindness. When I was still in school, I'd look for vulnerable, quiet and/or weird kids and attempt to befriend them so they wouldn't feel alone. Some of them to this day are some of my best friends. Us weirdos shoul stick together! And that's also likely the reason why Susie likes Kris so much, at least after her first arc, and why Kris likes Susie. They're absolutely adorable, I wasn't a huge fan of Krusie at first but I find it so endearing now.

Berdly is a just a nice guy if he was actually nice and respected minorities

i love this blue bird he is so dumb i love it, he's the best

car pit

honestly, i think that Berdley knows that Queen doesnt actually give a shit about him. everything about his behavior screams to me "gifted child complex", but like almost in reverse. he describes himself as a "forgettable" child, and the first taste of positive feedback was when he did well in school. he's so afraid of being a failure again that he turns to the dark world has a utopian escape, where he'll "always be smart". strict parents who hold a child's worth to their grades will make said child feel worthless unless they're getting perfect scores or performing up to their standard (i too, unfortunately relate to his backstory). to me, it feels like Berdley grew up learning that his only value was performing intelligence, and covered up his insecurity with self-affirming bravado. Queen is as much as a mother figure to him as she is to Noelle. he instinctively goes into "child wanting approval from mom" mode, and i think that her fake compliments are reminiscent of how he's treated at home. no one wants to hear about his interests, they just tolerate him when he does what they want. Queen might even be giving Berdley more attention than a parent figure has ever given him, as dismissive as it is, so he hangs onto it. but i think he knows that she, like his real mother, doesn't care. my biggest pointer to that would be when he encounters Kris alone in the alleyway, and after saying that Queen and Noelle were probably waiting for him somewhere, his face drops like he knows he's lying to himself. he just keeps up the facade because it's been all he knows--pretend you're as great as you're expected to be, and "Be Smart" or else he's forgotten again

People who like the guy and genuinely think he redeemed himself in chapter 2 are a huge red flag for me. EDIT: Yep, struck a nerve with the kinds of people who I was talking about.

Fucking love Berdly, he's so me

0:16 EVERY WEEK OF WHO!?!? 🦌

shhh he's also the knight but dont tell anyone

Berdly my beloved ❤ I hope he will be important in next chapter! Great video 👍

🐦👓🎮

I have this theory/headcanon that the reason Berdly is so desperate for validation and attention is that his parents emotionally neglect him. Also off topic, I feel bad for Alphys too. She didn't know that determination would have the effect it would have on the fallen monsters. Also keep in mind, they were already pretty much dead at the time, and Alphys had permission from their loved ones to do those experiments. While it was wrong for her to withhold what happened from everyone, I can understand her dilemma.

Berdly death is interesting to me. Berdly as a character was made because of Dess disappearance as that what causes Noelle to lose the spelling bee. In a route where we skip over a lot of Dess related content Berdly's death in some ways could be taken as forgetting December as he is one of the few indirect reminders of what happened to her.

Vivat Veritas: Berdly probably won't be relevant again. Newsletter: "You. Me. Festival." Lol, loved the video, and the series so far.

Berdly is my favorite punching bag

I'm waiting for the reveal where Mordicai from Regular show is Berdly's dad.

Fly high, bluebird of nerdiness, fly high! - (Signed, Lancer)

about to take off on a flight and i see this video about the best deltarune character drop. thank youuuiu

so did you see in the news letter birdly can reply to someone about being asked out to the festival? possibly to kris?

Toby Fox better have us get Berdly omni pregnant and lactating or else

While I have yet to experience Snowgrave myself, I do find the papyrus - Berdly parallel you mentioned interesting. I hadn't really thought about it before you bright it up, but they have a lot of traits in common, from desperatly searching for approval, to acting as if they are great in a field they seem to be lacking in. They also both have a far more competent female friend who helps them, and to a degree, enables them to be their "annoying self."

I will let you be the breeze under my wings!!!!

If you don't like Birdley, then I have nothing to talk to you about. Your IQ level is too low

Yet another solid video, and yeah birdly probably is done but glad we got him in any sort. I have really been enjoying these shorter videos.

Blue Bird, flying so high, in the Dark Skies below!

Anyways I’ve always seen a parallel between him and Spamton, always reliant on someone else to the point they struggle greatly on their own. Spamton is someone berdly could have easily become if he didn’t get his development. This is probably something I’m looking too deeply into, but I do think it’s interesting!

He probably drinks more Mountain Dew than water

maybe the remote control will be like rouxls kaard i think it would be pretty funny 😂
