Приколы
As someone who is on the Autism Spectrum, I thought it was weird that they acted like Farkle was dying when he told them.
SAME. I watched it with my niece and was so confused. I’ve had to have several brain surgeries(from other health issues lol), I have a feeding tube and many scary health issues.. and I’ve never gotten that sort of response from telling those close to me lol. When they found out I was autistic, they were like, “oh wow yeah that makes sense!”😂 not in a rude way, I was told I was bipolar all my life until the right drs took the time to diagnose me the correct way. It made so much more sense than being bipolar! I just don’t get their reactions. It’s wild.
Same and like at first I was like "oh representation" and then I got honestly so disappointed and sad 😢
"No, NOT YOU, FARKLE! You're too young! Nooo!"
No seriously!!! And Rylee is the most autism-coded character I’ve ever seen
Ikr they literally treated it like an AIDS allegory???
Riley would strait up tell me to "stop being depressed" that's the vibe she gives
Also Corey trying to convince his students to be Christian IN CLASS is craaaazy. That's definitely something you would get a suspension for in my school lol
@@spaceyintgehead9658Who wrote this garbage?! Seems OOC for Cory, tf?!
Riley made a mark on my personality and mental health for years and she taught me “to be happy constantly and sadness is bad” the toxic positivity really did a number on me too😭 I had to reconstruct myself because of the chokehold she had on me
Riley is definitely be a New Age believer.
@@SpFlash1523ngl I had to look that one up lol, but I totally see the similarities
maya was literally a CHILD. josh is a whole college kid like wtf were they thinking entertaining this type of storyline?
It would have been better had they made the show now in 2024 because Sabrina is like literally a Adult now
I’m pretty sure he was only in college for the last season. He was 16-17 in Season 1 and Season 2. But yes I do agree their relationship was inappropriate, and for the most part, very one-sided on Maya’s part until Ski lodge. And that storyline is a whole other MESS
@@thealister171 I thought that was the point tho. Like I thought the message of that relationship was that she was too young to be liking boys that old and that she was only going to get herself hurt. Like I thought that was the message they were trying to send because even Josh told her that he was too old for her
@@tacobell1299 originally that’s what I thought too and to add on, it was also meant to teach that Maya’s type of infatuation and dynamic with Josh was nothing of depth or “real love”, and that it was just a silly little fairytale crush she had on Josh and how it would be unrealistic, at least during both of their lives at that time. But the Ski Lodge episodes really went backwards and regressed that whole storyline and Maya’s growth as a character SO BAD.
So in the ski lodge episodes, Josh, who BARELY showed Maya any interest before Ski lodge, finally returned back to the show (after basically being absent for all of Season 2, he only appeared in 1 episodes out of 30, and only a appeared in a few in Season 1). I do vividly remember the actor who played Josh getting into a motorcycle accident around 2015, which is why he wasn’t there during the bulk of filming Season 2, but STILL, his character just wasn’t around and was never even mentioned during a lot of Maya’s “self-identity” storyline, as well as the love triangle mess.
@@tacobell1299 But then he came in and ACTED like he knew everything that was going in and tried to play Maya’s psychotherapist? Like whaaat? 😂 Dude barely appeared in the show and when he was there, he always rejected Maya, saying that she was too young for him. Now all of a sudden he cared and knows more than everyone else? That’s just terrible writing.
And then Josh really tried to manipulate Maya into thinking that she “became” Riley, which is how she developed feelings for Lucas, because she turned into Riley and developed Riley’s feelings for Lucas, even though she was still teasing Lucas and calling him nicknames in the ski lodge episodes, which is something she always did to him and that Riley NEVER did. So where’s the “self-identity” crisis everyone claimed Maya has?? Her improving her life, wearing better clothes and getting good grades = becoming like Riley? Okay Girl meets world logic.. 🤦♂️ I’m done ranting lol
fun fact, i didnt know what autism was the first time i watched girl meets world. i genuinely thought it was like a deadly illness or something. now i'm diagnosed with autism so thanks girl meets world for introducing me to autism and also telling me its a horrible thing. i really appreciate that. so much.
Sorry you have autism, I hear it’s terminal 😔 🙏 - The Girl Meets World writers apparently (that is so insane, the audacity they have to write an episode about autism clearly without consulting- hell without ever in their lives meeting- a single autistic person and then not even making the character autistic???? Wtf???)
I mean it can be awful to have. This episode really exaggerates it, but autism can be really frustrating and annoying to have. I have a nephew that has meltdowns because he can’t verbalize what he wants. Thankfully he’s learned to talk more, but it still gets on his nerves.
In my opinion and own experience, people who actually have it really hate it
@@LacieAnimations Are you.. telling an autistic person that their criticism of the portrayal of characters reacting to hearing their friend might have autism is invalid because people who are autistic don't like having autism? Genuine question, because that's what this reads like.
You're not incorrect, people who have anxiety don't enjoy having it either, but that doesn't mean we should be treated like we're inhuman and being diagnosed with cancer. And neither should people with autism. (Which it's very likely I do have, I've just chosen not to get diagnosed because of the literal laws taking away our bodily autonomy, but keep talking about something you don't have like you understand our point of view and issues with how we're treated.)
@@StoneBasiliskI think what they meant was that sometimes it is hard to be autistic because of the challenges we face, but they didn't word it well for sure.
I agree with it to an extent. I have pretty bad sensory issues and if I don't wear earplugs I get migraines and I could do without that. Or without the auditory processing issues. But what they did in the show was horrible in every way for sure.
As a kid, I confused Asperger’s with Alzheimer’s so I thought Farkle had dementia.
They should’ve handled the god thing in a way that says “hey people believe in different things and some people don’t believe in anything and that’s okay!”
I didn't like how there wasn't any indication of religious beliefs (that I can remember) by the characters but the moment someone esys that they don't believe Riley is all I AM A CHRISTIAN AND GOD IS REAL. Like where did that come from?
I feel like that's how original boy meets world would have dealt with it, not going hard for God lol
@@echowood1732 She and Cory were both so weirdly offended by Farkle and Maya not believing.
Honestly, I don’t remember this episode (maybe because I hated the show), but as a Christian myself, we know that people are gonna believe what they want, and that it’s *their* choice. Sure, we can tell them about the gospel, but if they don’t want it, then that’s them. We as humans don’t have the power to condemn people to hell based off of what we believe.
(And even as a writer, where was it indicated that any of these characters have some sort of religious affiliation even besides Christianity???)
@@shostysbooI’m glad you feel that way, but don’t indicate other Christians into your statements, saying “we know” this and that. Because as someone who was raised atheist, I promise you, most Christians don’t seem to know that and don’t care to. The Christian who chooses not to condemn others, even silently, for their differing philosophies (even within Christianity itself) is unfortunately an outlier. It’s not inherently the fault of Christianity itself, it’s the institutionalization of the church and it’s historical weaponization as a tool of sociopolitical power
Even as a kid, I thought the acting was very bad but I never remember the episodes being this wild😭
As a kid, I was like: This show is a little bad, bland.
And when I rewatched, I remembered why I did not like it. It was so bad.
@@freakytostadacartoon it was definitely bland that’s a great way to describe this show 😭😭😭😂
when I was little everytime this show came on I got pissed off so much I despised it
Thank god they didn't make a gay episode. They'd probably tell us it's wrong or something like that.
In my personal opinion it is wrong
No they wouldn't.
@juanitamorgan5475 and your personal opinion is objectively wrong 😚 but ur allowed to be wrong
I feel like it would be interesting if they made a main or supporting character queer but they (Disney channel) might do it wrong and mess it up
@@caitlingillthey did in andi-mack and the series did really well but they did the coming out part correctly, its everything after that that kinda ruined the character
did not realize girl meets world was basically riverdale jr. with its tackling of difficult subjects
*Insert Archie’s football line*
Riverdale is awesome so that show must have been awesome too.
Awesome as the highs and lows of highschool football? 😎
Zay wasn't a bad boy. He was a flirt who would get himself in trouble by talking too much.
The way he said I'm going to go save a tree was funny!!!
he was way more cute as well as better than any of the other guy main characters or love interests in the show
(I am allowed to think he's cute bc I'm a teen)
Love that little guy
does anyone else know that Zay is the son of DJ Jazzy Jeff?
As an autistic person, I was so confused watching that episode, because I was just like “what do you mean he’s not autistic?????? He is literally me????”. Also, like, bitch???? I know what love is??? Like, sure, I’m aroace, but that has nothing to do with autism, and I have great friendships! And why were his “friends” so devastated at the mere IDEA of Farkle being autistic??? Like, my friends joke about about more than me, and that’s saying something? It’s not that bad????? It’s not the end of the world????
Seriously it bothered me so much
I also feel like them taking it back and saying he’s not autistic is such a huge copout moment Like if you’re going to make a big deal about him being autistic have the character actually be autistic
@@elenaporras3145Right! Like what’s the point of the episode if he’s not even autistic?? If you’re gonna do all the terrible parts of badly writing an autistic character at least give us the representation too :(
@@lilyfae7197 fr!! Don’t just take it all back at the end
Actually,i think being aroace is a sign of autism
controversial statement. but dog with a blog was a better show than girl meets world. i thought this as a child and i think this now. i was also a huge boy meets world fan, and also still am
dog with a blog was my absolute fav when i was a kid
Dog with a blog was just pure stupid fun and I loved it for that
Dog with a Blog is my favorite Disney Channel show after Wizards of Waverly Place and Jessie.
I loved Dog With a Blog. 😂🐶
dog with a blog was great from what I remember
Cory being a teacher does not fit his character at all
Truly he hated school and he was shown multiple times to have an interest in documentaries and such. It would have made more sense to have him be a film maker or camera guy.
They wanted so desperately to copy-paste the magic of the first show
@@DUDLEYLETMEPLAYPS2or even if he had a job on Broadway. Also I find it weird that this show is in NYC considering the fact the original was set in Philly
@@annaconigliaro2907 It's because Cory and Topanga moved to New York at the end of the show
I was just thinking about how problematic this show was last night lol. The communism, the weird age gap romance, the microaggresions towards Shawn’s ex girlfriend, zay being the rebellious one, the religion episode - this show was written by conservative middle age white people AND IT SHOWED
It sucks so much considering boy meets world was actually good at addressing age-appropriate themes in a way that spoke to a young audience
Not to mention how they acted like autism was a terminal illness and not just. A condition where your brain is wired a bit differently.
The communism?! 😭
BMW focused on addressing real life themes and things kids went through in a neutral and subtle way so their audience could relate to it and reflect about it and get to the message by themselves, but GMW lacked both neutrality and subtlety because they were more interested in spoon-feeding their message to the audience as if we were too dumb to get it by ourselves and so we would get the exact conclusion they wanted us to get
Especially since it only talks about atheism as if other nonreligious people all fall into that category too🤦
Someone tell the Disney channel we are autistic not emotionless
If anything we feel too much.. at Least I know I do
This EXACTLY! If anything, we have STRONGER emotions than any allistic people could ever fathom.
Lmaoo
A 4 year age gap is ok if they meet in their twenties or something but meeting in middle school and college? Nah…
that's the point. they didn't have a relationship when they met when maya was in middle school and josh was in high school. (yes he was in hs when he first appeared). all they did was say if its meant to be in the future, then it'll be meant to be. its very innocent and people trying to say its something its not, is not it.
@@Hannas- the problem is that it’s a show meant to spread messages for children, yes they say they can’t date, but they will “play the waiting game” as if it’s sweet and not creepy (they’re just waiting until it’s legal), the writing says Maya shouldn’t get over Josh and move on it says that she should take her feelings seriously and keep investing on Josh because eventually he will realize they are meant to be together, Maya and Josh would be okay in another sort of show because not everything have to set an example but they did, not all guys Josh’s age his age would act the same way he did (so sensible and respectful to her) with a girl like Maya hitting on him the way she did (stalked him, got way too close to him, tried to impress him, etc), their relationship spreads a really bad and almost dangerous message for kids. Also it’s not very fair to say people make too much of a big deal about their age gap because the show itself presented it as a big deal from the start
@@Hannas- that's what grooming is
@@Hannas- its normalizing college-age people pursuing middle school/hs age kids…. doing the “ill wait for you” thing is icky and teaches kids that it’s normal for people that old to be attracted to people that young. There is absolutely nothing you could have romantically in common as a college freshman with a highschool freshman. They’re in completely different stages of life and keeping a platonic relationship with the intention of starting a romantic one as soon as they pop 18 is predatory and honestly leaning into grooming territory.
This is where you’re all messed up. Josh said the first time he was shown in GMW “You grew up gorgeous”. Or something like that. That means Maya and Josh probably met before when they were kids, but nothing about Maya liked Josh then. Then in middle school, hormones go nuts, and so she sees Josh again and immediately took a liking. So I think they probably met years before that, and only Maya took a liking when she was in middle school. 🤷🏻♀️ But that’s what I believe. And Josh was born February 14th, 1999 (or 1998), and Maya was born in March of 2001… so it’s not that far off. Like that’s not even four years. Yes maybe four years in school years, but that’s because kids start Kindergarten at 5 or 6, so depending on when Maya started that would have explained things.
I'm still so sad for Maya and Farkle that they had such bad friends...
the communism episode is so funny bc they did all that, just bc riley let maya cheat on a test. if i were mr matthews and my child tried to justify helping a friend cheat by using socio-economic philosophies, i'd just tell her "try that again and you get an f."
I hate that stupid episode, it's so out of its depth and had no real understanding of what it wanted to achieve
I watched this show as an adult because I was a Boy Meets World fan and was stunned. Then I went to live studio audience taping of the show and executive producer Michael Jacobs ranted to the audience about how meaningful the show is. He seemed to have been senile and truly believed he was doing something with these storylines.
I have a Bachelors of Science in Psychology with a minor in Adolescents, Community, and Education. This show's teachings are so inaccurate and harmful. The autism part was crazy. I work with Autistic children.. how dare they imply they aren't capable of love LMAO. NO WAY IT GOT AN AWARD FOR THE GOOD WRITING I AM DEAD. I agree with you 100%. Instantly subscribed. Thank you for standing up for humanity.
The college kids encouraging Josh and Maya is WACK
Terrible writing
there is no Girl Meet World in Ba Sing Se, there is no Girl Meet World in Ba Sing Se, there is no Girl Meet World in Ba Sing Se
This show is truly the most unhinged thing Disney has ever created
How can u say that when shows like Jessie exist?
@@musiclover_kb4913Jessie is unhinged in a good way
@@lihzzahrdspeed6631 To hear that hurts, and sure Jessie was well past my Disney Channel prime years, but even so, it's not hard to see that it doesn't hold up nearly as well as something like Good Luck Charlie
How is the show that came out when I was in HS more conservative than the ones I actually watched as a kid?
ikr
RIGHT!? 😭😭
I'm a Christian and I think that the atheism epsidoe was very poorly done. 1) The way it started was stupid. All of that over a 5-dollar bill 2) You shouldn't try to force your beliefs on others 3) They should have been more unbiased. It would have been much better if the characters said we don't know everything that is out in the universe so who knows. 4) A teacher doing all this at a public school would get in trouble
UGH SAME! That episode was soooo gross and tbh the argument they used to “prove god exists” was not a even very convincing! Also if they wanted to do an episode about religion they could realize that Christianity is not the only religion?? There’s other Abrahamic religions like Judaism and Islam or even more diverse religions like Hinduism, Buddhism, etc.! Ugh but it would take more than five seconds for a writer and I think of that 🙄
@@quite_contrary_9956 fr the argument was so bad and so easy to poke holes in if you're not a middle school child being put on the spot to debate with your adult teacher
As a Christian, we're told to share the Good News
@@HeartEllis You don't annoy people who don't want to hear it. If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town.
Matthew 10:14
@@HeartEllis Yes, we lead by example and share the gospel, but we don't do...whatever *that* is. It's just poor conduct for anybody. We teach people about it so they can learn and choose for themselves, we do not bully them into it.
the way Disney justified grooming 🤮 i can personally atest to the fact that this ship only encourages and builds hope for inappropriate relationships in children, this is grooming propaganda and sooo fucked up
MAPS identifying leftists. 🤬
I forget what episode it was, but I remember in season one, they made jokes about Farkle's parents constantly fighting. Like, Jennifer always throwing her wedding ring at Minkus.
The autism episode was a mess. And everyone just being okay with Josh/Maya was so weird and uncomfortable.
I think it’s the first episode of season two
@@DUDLEYLETMEPLAYPS2 I feel like you're probably right. I know it was before he got his makeover.
Honestly, the communism episode was so ridiculous and insane that I did not care about it at all.
The autism episode was an insult to anyone with disabilities. The only scene I liked was the scene with Farkle and his father. It was nice and wholesome. The rest of the episode can die in hell. They treated autism like life and death. What the hell?
Imagine they cancelled The Owl House but was okay with THIS??? 😭
Unfortunately live action shows can be produced on a shoestring budget whereas animated shows need an incredible amount of money, time, and manpower to produce. Many channels that used to be exclusively animation powerhouses are now crammed full with these dull, poorly written teen sitcoms. Nickelodeon being the main example. Cartoon Network tried and had an identity crisis in the early 2010’s, but they canned that quickly considering cartoon is literally a part of their name.
I've always had it in headcanon that Boy Meets World was the real world but from Corey's point of view, Girl Meets World isn't actually real, it's all in Corey's head. It's why Jack never really interacts with Shawn in the reboot (his brother) because Corey wants to be Shawn's brother. It's why there's one person of colour in Riley's friend group (even though she lives in New York), and it's why Shawn doesn't get together with Angela, he gets married to Riley's best friend's mom. Riley has the friend group that Corey always wanted, can stand on desks and be weird and goofy (everything Corey couldn't do as a kid). It's all Corey's ideal world because it doesn't exist.
I'm shocked people didn't get mad about the autism episode back then cause now people do a lot of research and have actual people who know about autism.
Omg we literally had to ban middle schoolers from our high school proms bc there were actual seniors bringing 8th graders 💀 like even our teachers and principals said NO ,BAD, DONT DO THAT and Disney had a whole couple for this??????
no they didn't. josh and maya weren't a couple. they said that if its meant to be in the future when they're older, then they'll be together. but the time is not now. a very innocent thing.
@@Hannas- what?
@@Hannas- but there is a difference between what they were going for and what they did, yes that’s what they said but then they made a situation where they framed Josh as a jerk for not wanting to date Maya because she was younger and she never really got over him and the show basically says she didn’t have to because then he started to like her as well, so they aimed at realism and they hit at idealism
@@Hannas- the problem is that it’s a show meant to spread messages for children, yes they say they can’t date, but they will “play the waiting game” as if it’s sweet and not creepy (they’re just waiting until it’s legal), the writing says Maya shouldn’t get over Josh and move on it says that she should take her feelings seriously and keep investing on Josh because eventually he will realize they are meant to be together, Maya and Josh would be okay in another sort of show because not everything have to set an example but they did, not all guys Josh’s age his age would act the same way he did (so sensible and respectful to her) with a girl like Maya hitting on him the way she did (stalked him, got way too close to him, tried to impress him, etc), their relationship spreads a really bad and almost dangerous message for kids.

@@Hannas- meeting a child as an adult & waiting until they are legal is grooming
Season 3 turned into a literal DRAMA. The whole Maya and Josh situation was FUCKED
The commonly held belief from super fans is that the show was canceled bc one of the producers found out that Sabrina and Corey (both minors) had some sort of sexual relationship going on. One of the producers had been trying to get Sabrina to sleep with him since day one and when he found this out she was newly 18. He told her something along the lines of if she didn’t sleep with him he would cancel the show and she told him to quote “fuck off”. He canceled the show and threatened to black list both Corey and Sabrina from the industry but Sabrina threatened him with lawsuits about harassment so he backed off but black listed Corey. This is also y it is believed Corey hasn’t gotten as much work despite being a great actor. This mainly comes from old blind items and fan speculation. I have to say given Sabrina and Corey’s closeness it makes sense and Sofia Carson had talked in the past abt an underage costar (allegedly Sabrina) having to audition for a Disney project (adventures in babysitting) in a bikini. This is all speculation and the only thing we have ever gotten from Sabrina on this subject is when she alludes to gmw being a bad time.
Very believable theory, considering how Nickelodeon was/is run by perverts. Wouldn't surprise me if Disney is, too
Yikes! Are there any sources that prove this?
WHAT
@@mayrahemmerechts5867the op said it’s all speculation near the end of this so just rumors
You're so right with how everyone wants Maya to fail!!!
Not only that, when you think about it, Maya was never allowed to be happy. Her dad takes off, but unlike Chet, he doesn't come back. She's constantly viewed as the bad influence when Riley was really the rebellious one tbh, and she falls for a guy (who arguably liked her better), but convinces herself he likes her best friend better. The O.G. sitcom cut Shawn a break every now and then, but Girl meets World wouldn't lay Maya have anything.
An interesting fact about the show is that the plot was changed. Originally, Cory was going to have three kids, like Boy meets world. Riley was going to be the middle sister, but somewhere along the way, for reasons that I don't know, the character of the older brother was cut out.
33:25 - In the show, Josh is 17 and Maya is 14. It's still weird. Also, the actor used to butt heads with Rowan Blanchard. He was an antifeminist. He was a 2012's Disney version of Andrew Tate.
Not surprising that they put Sabrina’s character in this situation bc one of the producers was trying to sleep with her since day one
huh?????
What’s your source?
I wouldn't be surprised if that's true but imma need a source
@@lordtickledck7012 Wait, why is your profile picture a still of Memo Aponte cosplaying as Pomni?

Did I know I was autistic at the time that episode aired, nope! But you know what I did know after that episode, *checks notes* oh yeah! The idea that autistic people didn’t know how to feel love properly, and then I repeated that message to a newly diagnosed kid in my grade!!
That really sucks, but it’s not your fault; they never should have allowed that script to pass the editing stage, especially for a show for literal impressionable children.
@@ofthewilderwoods yeah I don’t really blame myself for it, I really didn’t know. But I just hope that that kid is ok now 😭
16:32 Personal politics and religion are a big taboo in public school. Depending on where they live Corey could get in SO much effing trouble for harassing Farkle about his Atheism.
When I was 12 I had a teacher who was planning a "field trip" to go to a political protest during school hours - for privacy reasons I won't say where or what the cause was but it wasn't exactly a safe place to bring kids. I went home and told my mom about it. The teacher didn't give us permission slips. My mom called the school with questions and the office lady was like "ABSOLUTELY NOT - we didn't know about this, we've actually denied her request for this trip several times." Regardless of if you agree with a teacher's belief or not it's really not their place to try to involve you beyond sharing educational information.
I wanted to add that we weren't going to be spectators of the protest, oh no - she wanted us to make signs and participate in the crowd.
@@foodfornot Oh NO That makes it SO much worse, WTH was she thinking???
@@shanon4768 I have NO idea she was just really committed to her cause... but other peoples' children?!
I remember loving girl meets world as a preteen- but once they aired the communism and atheist episodes back to back I literally neverrrrrr watched it again, it literally felt so culty and brain-washy. Especially as a happy atheist, I was like “woah what show is this all of a sudden”
The irony is the original Boy Meets World had an anti-cult episode.
The amount of times i said ew when Cory was quoted i think we should call him corny matthews
Pffft
the title should be "propaganda meets world" honestly
I loved Boy Meets World and wanted this show to be good so bad. I did love seeing some familiar faces, but it didn’t have the wisdom and charm of the original. They actually tackled real issues with some nuance and grace. Mr. Feeny was actually a great teacher and weaved real life lessons into actual education vs whatever Cory did. Just a shame they watered down the show into whatever this was. It was not only cheesy, but terrible takes on everything.
One of the things that set boy meets world apart was how it grew up with the viewer and being on Disney didn’t allow this, and they literally ruined Cory and Topanga with Cliches
@@DUDLEYLETMEPLAYPS2 I was sad when we lost some great episodes of BMW when Disney started airing them. I never forgot Shawn's drunken meltdown after his dad and Alan stepped in to make him listen. Inthink it was one that Disney blocked because it "glorified" drinking, but it stuck with me as a great warning and a great look at grief. Now it has been so long I sometimes wonder if I made it up.
@@trinitybernhardt9944 I remember the episode it’s on Disney+
Maya and Riley both deserve better than Lucas, he’s bland and boring and gives off republican “I want my future wife to be a housewife” type vibes
the whole communism episode makes me wanna cry 😭😭 the ick I got from it, like riley sit down girl stop. Religion episode: disguting what kinda religious propaganda is this 😭made me more atheist. The autistic one sent me 😂😂 wtf kinda crack where they smoking 😭😭 that’s so fucked up they was shitting on him so bad
It's absolutely wild that this show compared Malala Yousafzai's sacrifice for women's rights to Farkle being bullied. 💀
disney had one job. lucaya. and for some reason they were like hmm do we wanna listen to what 90% of our viewers want? no 😭 i don’t understand what went through their brain to put a 9th grader with a college student.. like ? NO ONE asked for that. and the excuse for her liking lucas is so.. i was like u have to joking. seems like they had plans for them and the writers changed their mind cause they had to wrap up the show
I'm grateful to be too old and childless to have been aware of this show but I'm also grateful to the algorithm for suggesting this thoughtful and entertaining review. Love the lighthearted sarcasm!
this show has the same energy as those condescending, out-of-touch anti bullying campaigns that never work. Its like something a conservative obsessed with "traditional family values" would make, gives me flashbacks to my time in private school
the fact that the borderline ablelist and the Christian propaganda episodes were the ones that were nominated for an award just says….so much 😭
I DONT REMEMBER IT BEING THIS BAD 😭😭
SAME
Corey really was THE WORST teacher
Nominated for a best writers award? What is this?!?
What is most insane about this is like boy meets world was never like this??? Of course it was heavy handed on the "virginity is a virtue" stuff but I don't remember God or anything like that, and even when they brought up politics it was like, clear good or bad things, not things that are open for interpretation generally lol
They brought up God in the Cult Fiction episode
@@felixflax19 omg you're right! I feel like the message behind that episode was more about Shawn not needing to always feel like the outcast and that he has a family with the Matthew's though, not "see God is behind everything" lol am I misremembering?
Yeah faith in God was brought up, but it wasn't about converting Shawn. It was about having faith in something real, which for Shawn was the real relationships around him, not some cult that offered nothing of substance. They did use God to represent general hope and faith back then and so yes he prayed to show he had learned, but I still feel it was much better handled.
adding to everything you said
- not only was there the communism episode, but the money episode with mark cuban was like oh yeah capitalism good guys
- the belief episode was insane tome, likei'm not opposed to you doing an episode to teachkids about different religions, or to respect each other's beliefs even if they are different, but this wasn't how they framed this one, i was like why is everyone forcing their beliefs onto everyone else like what? insane.
- i mean the autism episode is by far the guiltiest one for sure. at least they still had smackle be a main character after, so that's something, but i can't imagine what it would've been like to be autistic and watch that episode like wow.
- as a kid watching, of course i was shipping joshand maya, bc i too was crushing on an older guy, and was like of course they shoudlbe together, but why would anyone entertain this? i remember the writers always trying to skirt around it and fans putting pressure on them on twitter, but then the writers gave in and did the whole someday thing like whatdo you mean? you are the adult you shouldn't even entertain this??? it should've been done in s1, treated like any other crush and moving on, giving maya other things. still insane to me that it was a thing at all.
- besides all that stuff,they were also just bad at writing some stuff, like the whole no one allowing maya to grow thing was crazy, but also, lucas, an original member of the core 4, was barely a character, he never got a storyline, he was just a cardboard standing there, and it was so frustrating to me, because why would you have a character w so much backstory and simply not use him. same thing for zay, not to mention he was the only black character, he was just there for laughs. i thought maybe there was potential in s3 for him and farkle to have a friendship that was like different than the one with lucas, they seemed like hey were gonna bond after the farkle finds out he is jewish episode, but no, nothing ever happened,so disappointing
that show was a whole mess, but it's still my comfort show, i know if i need to pick myself up i can put on a few specific episodes and turn off my brain
That thing you said about Lucas not having a character is so true. Not only did they ruin the character he had but the writers also didn’t give us anything apart from the triangle and him not knowing what to do about it. It’s such a mess. I think the triangle would’ve been better if he actually ended up with maya just because then the triangle actually had a point for being there as long as it was
@@kimbapbekidding1522 it’s like they wanted him to be the reformed bad boy that was okay with everything, but they went too far and made him not have any agency. Whenever it came to triangle stuff, why does each girl like him, it was always the two-three same characteristics/scenes he had, like it was never about him it was just the idea of him. and i liked that sometimes they showed that maya was attracted to him when he was exhibiting the bad boy traits, it made sense for her character, if they had done something about that then maybe it would’ve had a point but it really just felt useless and repetitive
@@neivilde.1242so true I wish they just didn’t have the triangle and they just gave Lucas’ character more of anything instead.
I watched the autistic episode before I was diagnosed, but I already had an idea of what it was from Beacon Street Girls. I was super confused as to why they were making autism sound like a bad thing.
Going over it again in my mind however, I do find myself feeling offended, even if the episode did come to the conclusion that autism wasn’t bad
God, your generation is so pathetic
Wow there was a weird age gap, minor and adult relationship written into the show and THEN there was weird p3do stuff happening behind the scenes TOO? How absolutely disgusting.
This entirely taints a childhood show. Who knows what those minor actors had to work through…
DOES COREY EVER TEACH ANYTHING NON RELATED TO HIS DAUGHTERS PRIVATE LIFE??!😅
i love your humour and tone/delivery so much
Dude I remember this show being boring/quiet, weird, and with rly bad acting 😭 but omg these episodes are wild, I don’t remember how crazy they were 😭
Alot of the kids who were on Disney and Nickelodeon shows said that very bad things happened to them while on set.
Damn. This was so good. I was obsessed with this show when it came out. It's so crazy to look at these episodes now as an adult. What kind of patriotic, Christian, abelist, predatory propaganda is this?! 😅
It's funny to see the whole "autistic people don't know how to love" plot. Tell that to my autistic wife and I who have been together for almost 5 years. 😊
This isn’t the only questionable Disney channel show, there was a now banned episode of jessy where the kids bully a kid with a severe gluten intolerance/allergy!
WHAT??? I think I fully missed that one, I know looking back the kids were just little shits "FoR ComEdY" a lot of the time (especially toward bertram and his weight) but the writers seriously had them bully a kid over an allergy?!?! I swear if they snuck gluten into that kids food
edit I think I saw the edited version of the episode but I think i remember bertam saying the pancakes are glue free so maybe I saw both versions? also throwing it into his face feels worse somhow
@@shanon4768
Yeah they fed him pancakes
cory was done dirty in gmw. my guy would not do this. or maybe i just really liked all seven seasons of bmw.
SOMEHOW I FORGOT ALL OF THESE EPISODES BYEEE. tbf i was a like 9 year old so
I remember being 10 and hating girl meets world with all i had. what a time
I was way past the age of watching Disney but I stuck around for girl meets world because I had watched boy meet world. I wanted to see how it went and then really just stuck around once I became a fan of Sabrina’s. If it hadn’t been for those reasons I definitely would’ve abandoned the show. It was just bad. Felt very childish compared to the past disney shows, which I still rewatch till this day without feeling as if I’m being talked down to, which when I witnessed the episode where most of the characters convinced Josh to wait for Maya, I was shaking my head thinking about the poor kids who thought this was romantic. Glad it never got a fourth season cause people were begging for it at the time
i tried watching this show because i felt i wanted to support one of the actors i went to school with. i got uncomfortable when riley got upset that maya was “trying to be her” and basically throws a fit that maya was actually showing promise in school…. glad i stopped watching
I don’t know why this showed up on my feed a month after it was posted with only 11k views but thank god it did 😭 you’re so funny and Disney channel deep dives and rants like these are my FAVEEEEEE keep it up!!
Girl meets world was a failure with writing i pretend it don't exist
the only voice of reason was WHEN ZAY CALLED OUT THE STUPID JOSHAYA BULLSHIT. LITERALLY ONLY ONE WITH SENSE
Oh my goodness, I only watched the first season of this show before I dropped it and I had no idea that it got THIS bad in the later seasons. I feel so bad for the main cast, and also the one black kid who dropped in as a guest star here and there.
right
lol when you said there was a communism episode I thought it was mostly a joke, but it’s way more hilarious that they actually made an entire episode about it
the reason behind the communism episode is so obvious. they could never have a meaningful critical analysis of communism and the soviet union by extent in this show, because it's aimed at kids and kids are too young to learn about the mass deaths that took place, the enforcement of the russian language and culture and the actual economic issues in communism. so instead, the episode became an "long live amuricah" speech on how the US is so great and the evil red are downers bc they don't promote individuality and choosing your own path, or whatever. because obviously, america is such a great country for choosing your own path and becoming successful (sarcasm).
As an individual with autism I AM FUCKING APALLED 😭😭😭 WTF DO YOU MEAN “CAN’T FEEL LOVE” JESUS CHRIST
them saying ppl with autism don't experience much emotion is so shitty?? Like??? If anything I experience too many emotions? Like I have to take breaks if I get too overwhelmed
Autistic people* not ppl with autism
@@colonyofrats4193i’m autistic and i don’t mind 🤷🏻♀️ some ppl prefer the other way around as well bc they don’t want it to be their entire personality. some ppl like it your way. there’s no “correct” way to do it unless you’re talking specifically about one person on the spectrum.
I just want to let you know that you're a gem. Your hilarious, you get the point across and you don't sugar coat the inappropriate stuff. I can wait to see what else you have
Jacob Michaels needed a co- showrunner who was like an older millennial or something. Or someone younger who loved the original. He was so clearly a man of a certain time that wasn’t ready for writing for a new generation.
He also seemed to forget the reasons why the original worked, and made a faint imitation
As a 20 yr old, I can't even look at HS seniors without thinking child
I used to love watching this show with my sister when I was younger and I do NOT remember any of this stuff, it's wild. I've high function and can confirm I do in fact love; and on another note it's crazy how much I used to love this show with how I'm exactly the opposite of the lessons mentioned in those episodes (atheism, i.e. christianity good believe in god ((i'm very not christian)) and bad autism representation stuffs ticks me off a lot so I just find it very interesting how I ended up liking the show so much. Maybe being very young little boy I was just clueless or something who knows. Great video, very entertaining.
Okay, maybe I was way to used to weird shit as a kid, but the episodes were not this fucking insane the first time I watched them.
Then again, I did have long extended daydreams that involved the most convoluted long running plot lines, so maybe I just thought it was normal.
man this show had so much potential, I ate this up like slop when I was younger but coming back to it makes me wish so bad it was half as good as boy meets world was (that show having its flaws as well) had great messages for the most part in compelling ways. They really fumbled this so badly
It's not the first time a Disney/ABC show did a show were a teacher dated a student. I found out that pretty little liars did the same thing which is on freeform which is owned by Disney
The only thing a little more curious about Disney allowing this episode, is the fact it isn't listed in the Disney controversies. I don't blame anyone one bit for the resentment.
I didn’t realize the issues with this show, while being Autistic. And that is an issue. Like it was so normalized
Holy moly. Love your vibe. Gonna be tuning into every one of these now omg
Thank you!
I found out about this today. I never watched Girl Meets World. And I’m GLAD I didn’t. I’m an autistic gal and… it SICKENS me with how they fucking treated autistic people. That HURT me in a way I didn’t even know possible. It’s absolutely vile. I’m an artist, an actress, my autism is high functioning, but still… I’m JUST as human as everyone else. That makes the short film that I did that I know is coming out covering this even more important… because I have NEVER seen me in media. A gal with autism that isn’t portrayed as a stereotype. Someone who’s not treated as nothing more than a plot device or a hindrance to the main cast… I want that to change. And I hope it does.
right i want this to be talked abt more
Ben Savage is a co-producer on this show and has left acting to pursue politics. I feel like this and the Joan of arc and communism episode are probably related.
This is the first video I’ve seen from you but I feel like my older sister is telling me the tea thank you this is so calming
If I remember correctly Romeo and Juliet law only applies if they were already together when the other party turns 18… I still think it was gross and no amount of “justification” will make me think otherwise they flopped this show
I honestly was pumped when I heard the show was coming out just because i thought the concept was cool. But I got bored so fast, I don’t think I ever watched more than 4 episodes because of the writing. And I was young
Good grief, I didn't realize this show can be just as questionable as Dan Schneider's Nickelodeon shows.
they actually used the Wahoo Punch from iCarly as a prop in Shawn's first episode of GMW.
I cackled throughout this whole video. I have to thank you
i forgot about the maya dating an adult storyline??? idk why i thought they were close in age as a kid 😭😭😭😭
Ur killing it bro so glad u were recommended to me
I remember being in the youtube comment trenches fighting for Maya and Josh because I thought it was so sweet that Josh knew Maya liked her, but asked her to wait till they're both older, but that he'd still be there for her and whatever she decided to do he'd be fine with. I thought he was giving her some power and agency
Took me a few years to realize I was being groomed with the exact same lines and that I was fighting so hard for them because, in my child brain, if it worked out for her then SURELY it would work out for me and that 22-year-old man. The last I heard though was he was on the run from the cops for "some reason" (oh naive little 14-year-old me.....)
Was it the show that fed into my delusions? Did I just project my delusions on the show and it's not their fault? Who knows T_T All I know is looking back NOW, Maya & Josh's storyline was so fucking weird to put on DISNEY CHANNEL for KIDS TO WATCH
I never watched any disney shows so I didn't know anything about this one. You talking about the communism episode is killing me 💀 I feel like I'm in another dimension
No because I knew so many like 17 year olds girls that shipped josh and Maya and I was genuinely concerned with the fact they were okay with that. I hope they are ok lol
why wouldn't they be okay with it? it was incredibly innocent. they didn't date. they just said that maybe in the future when they're older if its meant to be. i can't believe anyone would try to turn something so innocent into something bad. i hope you are ok. lol.
@@Hannas-Dude I literally see you in every comment calling this ship out rightly so. Like in what in the world would make you think it's "innocent" or even ok for an adult character because that's what Josh is to Maya and basically say I'll wait for you. That's textbook grooming my dude. I hope you are a kid and just don't understand the weight of the matter but either way this ship is baddd even if it's not illegal it's wrong.
Is that religion shit even allowed in school??? You can teach about Religion (history of it and such) but dude you can’t just force your religious beliefs on your students…
Thats not even true we get taught religion all the time in public schools
And theyre was no forcing he wasnt doing anything to other students he was teaching it to the people who were in his home and friends were sharing it with friends like...
@@Tai-rv5ql idk what school you’re going to but I was taught about religion and how it related to history, and some basics, but that was it. And it wasn’t just about the singular God. And yes I went to public school. And Cory definitely was doing some forcing and so was Riley.
@@crystalbugboy there was no forcing Cory was giving someone who didnt understand the pov of someone who beleived in God Farkle quite literally said he thought Joan of Arc had Schizophrenia and though faith was crazy Cory showed him that faith isnt someone being crazy. Lol
@@Tai-rv5ql whatever I don’t rlly care that much.
17:18 gonna be totally honest i thought it was referring to "i am a surgeon" from The Good Doctor
I would like to point out that Riley’s Actor was 13 and Lucas’s Actor was 16 in the beginning of the show😀👍
Omg I never realized how preachy this show was 😬😬 it’s so bad
right
