"You haven't seen undeserved self-satisfaction until you've seen a group of theatre kids singing Bohemian Rhapsody." MEANWHILE, AT BASICALLY EVERY HIGH SCHOOL THEATRE EVER.....
I went to a karaoke bar where you paid like a dollar to sing and there was handwritten sign above the bar that read "Bohemian Rhapsody $20." I'm sure the staff had experienced one too many grown-up theatre kids coming through 😂
Its so accurate the stark difference of how narcissistic mothers treat their daughters (Gayle insulting / bullying Terry) vs their son (Bonnie stroking her son's hair calling him "Dearheart" etc) yet when the two mothers start a fight Bonnie literally flings her son back and forth as a weapon.
For me, it was my dad who is the insulting narcissist. I relate it to misogyny. For my dad, he is just a secret misogynist. For moms who insult daughters, it’s internal misogyny.
This comment made me realize the discrepancy in legs between Terri’s parents. On the one hand you have the twins, and on the other you have Dave’s pale, flaccid khaki-stuffers
When Terry starts crying, the scene just gets so much funnier for some reason. *Terry, on the verge of sobbing:* Mom, please don't tell me you're eating chocolate-covered strawberries with my common app.
Gayle: You wouldn't have any room for your Weird Al Yankovic poster. Terry: I don't have a Weird Al Yankovic poster... Gayle: Oh right. Maybe I was thinking of your mirror. *Unpredictable starts playing* Probably my favorite quote from Gayle.
This will NEVER not be hilarious. my daughter and I watch the whole series at least once a year for several years now. Chris, saw you in Columbus a few years back and was the greatest show ever!!
"Your room would be covered in Marilyn Monroe posters and playbills" Me: *Is in college and is a theatre kid* Me: *Looks up at my dorm room wall which is, in fact, covered in playbills* Me: .....Well played, Gayle...Well played...
"You wouldn't have room for your Weird Al Yankovic poster.." "I don't have a Weird Al Yankovic poster." "Oh you're right, I'm probably thinking of your full length mirror."
Gayle is tbh a fantastic allegory for how it feels to explain complex abuse to ANYONE outside your immediate household. Who’re already there and either causing it or not helping much. Like Terry trying to explain this to other people in her life is rendered all but impossible by the level of absurdity it sounds like she’s hitting, even though in reality she’s just relaying information- but with none of Gayle’s internal logic, she can’t explain why this is happening or why it would even matter to her mom or any number of other things. Part of the show’s mastery is how it mixes true reality breaking with uncomfortably accurate abuse. Like I come from… not this dynamic exactly, but one with an abusive mother, and it had to be pointed out to me that Gayle had a level of this going on- and as I got older, some of the episodes made me more and more uncomfortable to watch, it wasn’t just great lines being delivered by Gayle as this New England chaos being, it was too close to home. These guys made something truly incredible with this show.
"Villanova is just a bunch of sorority girls who are all hand on their hip confident wearing tiaras until about 2 am when they lose their cellphone and then they're scream-crying in an alleyway, eating guacamole out of their own high heels"
This series is genius. It captures the absurdity of suburbia perfectly. I found Chris when I saw the company is coming when I was I the midst of a cleaning frenzy before my in-laws arrived. Gayle’s intensity was too on the nose. Whoever plays Bonnie - Chris Fleming’s mom? - wins best supporting actress. She’s a natural.
"You haven't seen undeserved self satisfaction until you see a group of theater kids singing bohemian rhapsody" I grew up with theater kids, so this had me in tears 😂
This is the kind of thing I play in the background during harsh study sessions. Watching someone else suffer through academic stress, especially through the lens of Gayle Waters-Waters, helps me relax.
There was a mortifying moment a few years ago when I ran into the guy who plays Brendan in an office lobby. Our eyes locked, I looked at him like "Oh butts, I know you!" it got awkward, and then I just walked away. He looked so uncomfortable.
"Post-Calc: Intro to Space Numbers" perfectly describes the Intro Astro Physics course that I took (and dropped just before the mid-term) in high-school 😂😭
I want to buy Brendan a tropical smoothie and encourage him to keep perfecting his cursive handwriting so our thank you notes look like we went to school on the east coast
This episode is awesome! Gayle: "You don't need to 69 with a baby deer to wake up!" Terry: "There's a really expansive middle ground between those scenarios and your actions before..." "I don't have a Weird Al Yankovic poster..." "Oh yeah, maybe I'm just thinking of your full-length mirror." "The UNcommon app"! and fight scene between Gayle and Bonnie HA HA HA!
"You haven't seen undeserved self-satisfaction until you've seen a group of theatre kids singing Bohemian Rhapsody."
MEANWHILE, AT BASICALLY EVERY HIGH SCHOOL THEATRE EVER.....

Mine was two trucks
Bonnie: You do not throw my son at me!!!
*throws own son at Gayle*
"you do not throw my son at me" bonnie says as she throws her pretend son at her real son
"Mama's not here, Mrs. Waters-Waters" might be one of the best lines of modern American media
Brendan’s actor is UNDERRATED in this series

my mom with her (nearly 40 year old) son: 😊💗✨💝😽
my mom with me: 👹🔪🤬😡🖕🏼
For me, it was my dad who is the insulting narcissist. I relate it to misogyny. For my dad, he is just a secret misogynist. For moms who insult daughters, it’s internal misogyny.
She didn't treat Ira well... maybe because she kidnapped him, but still.
That Weird Al joke literally killed me
Not LITERALLY though. That would be national news.
SO GOOD LOL
I CHOKED- this show is everything
randomfrankp me too I love weird al! 😁😍
@@tianaroy5566 no it would not be "national news" whatever the hell that means lmao
if only terri inherited the twins from her mother so she could break the door down with raw, unmitigated legwork and get the common app back.
true. there are sometimes that she's just like her mother, but i would love to see her knock down a door with the sheer power of her own two gams.
This comment made me realize the discrepancy in legs between Terri’s parents. On the one hand you have the twins, and on the other you have Dave’s pale, flaccid khaki-stuffers
Algebra 2 and Fig? If you're my daughter and you're above Junior year, you better be in Post-Calc: Intro to Space Numbers
The guy playing Brendan is a master at projecting the "No Thoughts Head Empty" vibe.
WHAT ARE YOUR SAFETY SCHOOLS AND WHAT ARE YOUR REEEEACHHEEESSSSS
Caitlyn Kimberly my parents rn😂😂
the tongue thing will never get old
"I know in your sick fantasy, I play the bassoon, but I don't play the bassoon"
When Terry starts crying, the scene just gets so much funnier for some reason.
*Terry, on the verge of sobbing:* Mom, please don't tell me you're eating chocolate-covered strawberries with my common app.
Gayle shampooing the pineapple was amazing
Almost as amazing as when Beef Hutchins frenches the bat. *sigh*
Gayle: You wouldn't have any room for your Weird Al Yankovic poster.
Terry: I don't have a Weird Al Yankovic poster...
Gayle: Oh right. Maybe I was thinking of your mirror.
*Unpredictable starts playing*
Probably my favorite quote from Gayle.
I've used that so many times XD
Danielle Audas II
Thanks for the recap but we saw the video too lol
it's Unbelievable (LOL)
I had to pause after that just to laugh lol
"That store where everyone looks like linkin park" lol Hot Topic
"Everyone who goes to Oberlin looks like they could be a boss from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" - Lmao
Gayle is a strange individual. Cant use basic technology but it totally aware of a zelda game.
Bonnie deserves a fuckin' Oscar.
No, don't mention it, Leonardo DiCaprio will hear..
This will NEVER not be hilarious. my daughter and I watch the whole series at least once a year for several years now. Chris, saw you in Columbus a few years back and was the greatest show ever!!
omg that ocarina of time reference was incredible
"If Abigail Proctor lived through The Crucible, she would be at Oberlin right now."
Beautiful line! LOL!
The sound effects are superb this season.
"I looked it up on Bing"
It's the little things
This season's special effects are like nothing I've ever seen before
"Your room would be covered in Marilyn Monroe posters and playbills"
Me: *Is in college and is a theatre kid*
Me: *Looks up at my dorm room wall which is, in fact, covered in playbills*
Me: .....Well played, Gayle...Well played...
ya basic
Mandy C. ya whole ass profile is basic too lmao
Chris was a Theatre Kid(tm), so he definitely knows what he's talking about
Just saw this, crazy to think you’re graduated now
"You wouldn't have room for your Weird Al Yankovic poster.."
"I don't have a Weird Al Yankovic poster."
"Oh you're right, I'm probably thinking of your full length mirror."
🎵🎶OH! 🎵🎶
I hope this series never ends.
:(
If RUclips dies, and there is only enough room on my computer for one web series’ worth of downloads, this is what’s coming with me. Period.
It's disturbing how similar gayle and I are. It's actually making me second guess my decision to have children when I'm older hahaha
ariel christine if you plan on treating your kids like Gayle does, then NEVER have kids
Gayle is tbh a fantastic allegory for how it feels to explain complex abuse to ANYONE outside your immediate household. Who’re already there and either causing it or not helping much.

Bonnie and her son are so creepy together.😂😂 I love it.😂😂
YOUUUU... do NOTT throw MY SON at me....
*yeets own son at gayle*
Is it okay that I've been kind of fangirling over Terry this entire series and Melissa Strype because her directing is on point?
I love how Gayle felt the need to specify that it’s The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
you get an 8 by 11 photo of jay Leno when u graduate

"Villanova is just a bunch of sorority girls who are all hand on their hip confident wearing tiaras until about 2 am when they lose their cellphone and then they're scream-crying in an alleyway, eating guacamole out of their own high heels"
Anna R that actually sounds like my school ngl
This series is genius. It captures the absurdity of suburbia perfectly. I found Chris when I saw the company is coming when I was I the midst of a cleaning frenzy before my in-laws arrived. Gayle’s intensity was too on the nose. Whoever plays Bonnie - Chris Fleming’s mom? - wins best supporting actress. She’s a natural.
The Weird Al line was the BEST line ever!!
when gayle knocked the door down.
It should be a felony to be this smart...
I AGREE!!!
Forgot to change your account op
The bit where they just throw bonnie’s son at each other kills me every time
There are way too many hilarious moments in this episode to pin point one specific one! Heck, that's ALL of these episodes!
this was literally my mother at the beginning of senior year when i was applying for colleges
chris, the audio is way better now, thank you
laughed my ass off at the sound that played every time gayle blinked
As someone who played Abigail Williams in The Crucible, I wish we'd done Gayle's version too.
"You haven't seen undeserved self satisfaction until you see a group of theater kids singing bohemian rhapsody" I grew up with theater kids, so this had me in tears 😂
This is the kind of thing I play in the background during harsh study sessions. Watching someone else suffer through academic stress, especially through the lens of Gayle Waters-Waters, helps me relax.
I think any piece of comedy deserves an award if it contains the sentence "You do not throw my son at me!".
Post Calc: Intro to Space Numbers
This is my favorite episode of GAYLE.
"Do you want me to rub my big, little nose is your ears?"😂
Terry is gorgeous. Does this mean I have thing for Weird Al?
Terry doesnt even really look like Weird Al. lol Gayle is so mean
i think it means you have a thing for terry lol
I got a thing for Terry too... Melissa Strype- check out the series with her sister on her RUclips page- the Diaper
There was a mortifying moment a few years ago when I ran into the guy who plays Brendan in an office lobby. Our eyes locked, I looked at him like "Oh butts, I know you!" it got awkward, and then I just walked away. He looked so uncomfortable.
The dummy they use every time never fails to make me laugh. XD
This came out right before my senior year started, right as I was working on the Common App.
I just wish I’d discovered this series back then.
OHMYGOD MY APLAC CLASS IS READING THE CRUCIBLE RIGHT NOW. So many coincidences since I started watching the Gayle series.
MASTERPIECE
a very accurate representation of the college search process also i go to oberlin and this is hilarious
OK CUPID UNIVERSITY
This is so well produced
Terry's scarf still has the tag on it. xD
Yeah, I can't believe she was a senior and only in Algebra II and Trig.
*Algebra II and fig *
"You better be in post cal intro to space number": 3
Why does Brendan seem like a Stepford Wife
"What are your safety schools and what are YOUR REACHES?!?!?!?!?!"
I was gonna say me as a mom but this is already me as a friend.
THE OPENING KILLED ME DEAD, I CHOCKED
Melissa is a 𝓹𝓲𝓷𝓷𝓪𝓬𝓵𝓮 of nonviolence. I find her approach to dealing with someone like Gayle most tasteful.
why is terry filling out a paper common application
I died when she threw Brendan
Bonnie's look of contempt and shock during the fight scene are incredible and the editing makes me laugh every single time I watch it
The Emerson Shout out tho!!!
Amazing episode!!!
This was the greatest episode of all time.
I remember watching this as an 8th grader and now as a senior applying to colleges it’s all too real
“If Abigail Proctor lived through the crucible she’d be at Oberlin right now voguing (?) with Tituba” LMFAO.
The subtle Linkin Park background music every time gayle says "Linkin Park" makes me scream laugh everytime
"Post-Calc: Intro to Space Numbers" perfectly describes the Intro Astro Physics course that I took (and dropped just before the mid-term) in high-school 😂😭
this is my favorite thing in the entire world
"everyone who goes there looks like a boss from Legend of Zelda, AW-CARINA OF TIME" I'm dying
Props to Chris's mum for being such a good sport and doing these. XD What a legend.
"don't throw my son at me."
*Throws son back at Gayle*
i don't have a weird al yankovic poster
MAYBE I'M JUST THINKING ABOUT YOUR FULL LENGTH MIRROR HAHAHAHA OH MY GOD I'M LAUGHING SO HARD OUT LOUD
Gayle's eyes are pretty.
Reaching that level of disassociation where you just sit and stare at all your stove tops burning. Damn.
ah this sure brings back memories
*war flashbacks*
This is all the work of a genius.
the tag on terry's sweater gets me through life
SO good!
I feel for Dave. He is the best character
you do not throw my son at me!!!
I USED TO WORK AT LIDS LMAOO (can confirm - we do all look like linkin park)
Even when the episodes were only 2 minutes long, every episode feels like a 45 minute episode and I love it 😂
LOVE YOU, GAYLE
Please bring this back! I would love a behind the scene scene. I dont know of youre still doing episodes but Gayle Waters-Waters is my hero
Holy crap! You mentioned Ocarina of Time!
CAN YOU GET ANY BETTER?!
Still watching this in 2021. Chris Fleming’s deserves an Oscar. Still funnier than what’s on TV.
Soooo well done,,, the suspense is UnBearable!
I want to buy Brendan a tropical smoothie and encourage him to keep perfecting his cursive handwriting so our thank you notes look like we went to school on the east coast
This episode is awesome!
Gayle: "You don't need to 69 with a baby deer to wake up!"
Terry: "There's a really expansive middle ground between those scenarios and your actions before..."
"I don't have a Weird Al Yankovic poster..."
"Oh yeah, maybe I'm just thinking of your full-length mirror."
"The UNcommon app"! and fight scene between Gayle and Bonnie HA HA HA!
Bonnie and Gayle throwing Bonnie's son at each other is comedy gold and you can't tell me otherwise
Gayle is absolutely my favorite thing on this planet, and is still hilarious, but the editing style so far this season is killing it for me.
I don't have a Weird Al Yankovic poster. Oh, maybe I just confused it with your full-length mirror...
