It never occurred to me that the comment Jane made to Quinn, “condition people to expect nothing and the least little something gets them all excited”, is kinda like foreshowing how quickly Quinn (and presumably others) would be fooled by Daria’s, I’ll use your word, Quinnification
I hadn't thought of it either, thanks for pointing it out!
That reminds me of the Roderick line from diary of a wimpy kid: You never sign up for anything at school. You fly below the radar! That way you never raise anybody's expectations same vibe tbh
It's kind of manipulative
17:55 for real. I’ve always found it funny that this show wants us to believe that Daria is just this unpopular person, but all of the popular people seek her out. They ask her for advice on personal issues, i think they even visit her in the hospital that one time she got that rash. None of the nerds in my HS got that treatment.
They sure did visit her in the hospital 😭
Britney probably thinks of Daria as a friend, meanwhile Daria’s meaner to her and Kevin than they are to her 💀
Love that about Daria actually. There are mean and nice popular people as well as mean and nice nerds like irl despite the generic narrative that popular kids are bullies and nerds never can be.
You see Daria’s opinions and how it sometimes contradicts what’s actually going on lol.
@@shami5enwow yeah Britney and Kevin might have foot in mouth syndrome from time to time, but they’re not malicious. Whereas Daria is one who kind of start off an introduction with defensive energy.
Ikkkkr
100%. I've always appreciated that this show doesn't really have a true antagonist (outside of maybe some of the teachers). Of the main cast, Quinn probably comes the closest and Daria gives just as good as she gets so she's not totally innocent in that relationship either.
I could see the pink shirt being something a relative bought for her when she was younger and it her that just lived in the closet cuz it couldn't be returned for cash.
I could see this being the case 😭
Especially if the relative paid more attention to Quinn and either mixed up the two girls, assumed Daria would like what Quinn likes, or just bought a shirt for Quinn and got Daria the same one out of laziness
This is one of those episodes where Quinn shows she’s smarter than she gives herself credit for. . Especially with the fashion club holding her back from seeing her full potential. I love how when Quinn shows this side of her .
My guess is that Daria's pink shirt was a gift from a relative who doesn't know her very well. She was too polite to ask for the receipt, but never wore the shirt, so it just stayed in the wardrobe with the tag still on (source: personal experience!)
This eps. also shows that if Daria wanted to, she could give Quinn a challenge in the Beauty department if she chose to.
Also, I LOVE how Daria looking cute and going on a date with Quinn's male followers snaps her back to being her regular self.
I think it's so fun that Daria could be as cute if she wants to
Babe wake up! Alissa dropped and new Daria commentary🗣‼️
😭😭
I always assumed that the pink shirt was something that Quin bought her as a last minute present. Originally, it was supposed to be for herself, but it ended up as a Daria present. Quin probably thought of getting it back, but thought that it was even too tacky for her to ask for her gift back.
Literally how it felt being dunked on for reading all the time in middle school only for everyone to become a "big reader" because wattpad made smutty werewolf stories easily available. Now everyone was a reader...
But only for indie romance novels, not for anything i was reading 😅
You create the trends, they follow them 😉
You know i like that this one shows that Daria does have some insecurities. She is comfortable being not the most attractive and smart. But having someone who is attractive and smart threatens her sense of place.
It shows that Daria isn’t as above everyone as she acts. And it is a lesson to the audience in false dichotomies. You can ve smart and attractive. You can be athletic and smart. You can be leas attractive and stupid or not attractive and arrogant.
For me the best part having watched the whole show a few times. It hints that Quin is smarter than she lets in. She is smart in her three D chess with Sandi or Helen. But here we get just a taste of how book smart and people smart Quin can be.
I loved Daria's rebrand❤❤. It would have been cool to see her sense of style expanding, which ever direction she was going in as long as it looked good and it was true to her. Experimenting would have been interesting to see.Similar to how Jane would sometimes change her style or try to assimilate within the popular crowd as an experiment or how Quinn has a variety of outfits.
Listen....Cars 2 isn't a _bad_ movie, but the accidental ableist vibes weird me out and it should've been a mater's tall tales spinoff instead of cars 2. I care too much about thematic consistency in kids' movies lmfao
Wait- school me 😳 what were the ableist tones? I’m curious
@@alissajadyn So in cars 2 the villains are people who have faced discrimination by their parts not being manufactured anymore this is a very real phenomenon where specific mobility aids stop being made because demand isnt high enough or because theyre just really expensive to make its like if someone could only use a specific type of hearing aid but the company decided they dont support that model anymore then making the person essentially lose something they need this is just what doesnt help also is that many spy movies or older spy films used disabled people as villains all the time but that trope has been pushed away more and more as time passes by but cars 2 does take inspiration from spy movies of the older generation sorry for any misspellings or if this doesnt make much sense im not the best writer
@@myfavoritejacket404not to mention how they treat mater in the film.
This is like when black people create trends and its not seen as cool but as soon as someone else takes the trend it becomes viral
I could listen to you talk about Daria for hours
I understand that Quinn made an effort to not let her peers know she was related to Daria, but how would Mr. O'Neill not know this??
I hate how Mr O Neil loves sharing his learners work like the time he submitted Daria’s essay to Val magazine.
100%! He is the kind of teacher who thinks he has good intentions but is actually invasive and lives by “let me save you I need to help you!”
I love this episode because unlike alot of geeky girl shows back in the day it showed that daria didn't dress the way she did because she didn't know how to dress and act popular but because she truly just didn't want to
Woah, Jake’s cooking is catching strays out here
My bad 😭
@@alissajadyn judged by the standards of penne a la pesto it’s very good
Helen: *gives speaches of why quin should work harder
Quin: * annoyed and tunes out*
Daria: you might be held back and be called old by the freshmen"
Quin :*starts working*
🤣🤣
@@alissajadyn Good on Daria and her parents for motivating Quinn.
Sometimes fear really is this best motivator. XD
Daria is probably my favorite show. I love this since I was a kid and I’m happy that it’s getting attention for how deep and good it was.
21:18 This episode reminds me of that "Hey Arnold" episode, the one where Helga and Harold get their career tests mixed up. Harold starts acting like a genius and Helga starts acting like a hillbilly stereotype. In the climax, Harold finds out that he's not a genius and has an existential crisis because, everyone thought he was stupid until the text, but because his test got mixed up with Helga's, everyone is going to think he's still the class idiot.
I'm glad my sister and I never went to the same high school.
Just wanting to be accepted as something and then others telling you are not that, it's just like others get to pick who you are. You always have to question your identity. "Am I really smart or do I just act smart?"
It's really humiliating! I have been complimented on being smart, but then, it just seems like people see the real me. Then, they automatically start seeing the "real me" as an idiot who just runs her mouth. Which is it? Am I smart or am I just a smartass?
Hell, even typing that out and putting myself down, it's just...so I sympathize with Quinn and Daria.
Daria is a cultural icon with some serious issues.
Just like me fr
Shes just a regular teenager lol
New subscriber. Daria was one of my favorites in high school, and I like your commentary on it!
I always thought Daria was neurodivergent, possibly on the autism spectrum. She functions well learning and observing but can’t quite figure out how to be a cohesive part of the group. So she becomes bitter and judgmental about the thing that she can analyze but not join. That’s the impression I got.
Fair
Daria looked great in the pink shirt 21:48
I'm a Daria/Jane hybrid... who loves pink.
This video dragged me - I was totally that kid that based my identity on finding out what was popular and being against it and thinking everyone else was an idiot for being mainstream 😂
Middle school me
Plssss 😭
@@alissajadyn utasoqpunga what is plssss? Is it like the old saying "klazi taxi"? So plassssi? I'm sorry I don't understand 😭
I know I was cringe middle school kid!!
@@kakumeeI’m pretty much saying I understand the original poster but I’m also laughing with them. Our younger days are funny to look back on lol
That “urethra” reaction image is frying meee 😭
I can’t stop using it 😭
@@alissajadyn it is tooo good girl 😂
Daria as the beauty was such a a slay 🥰 and her tone of voice always makes me laugh
Daria is me when the show got popular cause ik a lot of people didn’t even get it, they root for Daria but do Quinn shit in real life 😪
or glorify daria without realizing shes kind of a toxic asshole with a superiority complex. yknow like a lotta teens. i was a daria back in highschool myself, now i can look back and cringe at how much better i thought i was than other people because i read books and didnt like pop music
REAL OMG
Daria knows how to get the best out of Quinn academically. E.g the episode in season 5 when Daria was a temporary teacher when there was a strike at Lawndale High
I remember breaking out in tears of laughter at Sandy attempting to talk to Daria 😂 Thank you for leaving that in!
I always enjoy your Daria videos. This episode is one of my favorites! 💛
Thanks for watching 🥹
@@alissajadyn You're so welcome!
Great video.
Loved the psycho therapy episode. I think a video on that should be a great discourse on one suppressed partner and a controlling one. Seeing how each parent was raised makes a lot of sense.
Honestly, Daria observing other people purely to be different from them sound exactly like something she'd do.
After all, people have been looking down on her for not being like everybody else since her early childhood, when her parents had her see a counselor for the bullying she was receiving as a kid.
Jake even said that if Daria gave the other kids a chance, she might like them. It was an example of blaming the kid who is getting bullied instead of blaming the bullies. She had tried, but they pushed her away. Why can't the other kids be taught to make an effort?
Years of this reenforcement have led to Daria becoming how she is now. After all, why would she want to be like people who hate her for superficial reasons when she can hate them for being superficial in the first place?
I think in almost every episode everyone is nice to daria, she was the one judging everyone…
@@elicxcYes, but with the added context of her childhood, it makes sense why Daria would be so quick to assume the worst of others, especially when there are some people at the school who are not very nice to anyone, not just Daria.
Very well done, sweetheart 👏🏽! I'm old enough to have watched the entire series as it aired. I like hearing your perspective on one of my favorite shows!
Not u writing down notes on Quinn's quotes😭😭
😅
That belch at the end was like a little shout out to her original boyfriends, Beavis & Butt-Head
hold up, is that "is she the reason" playing in the back!?
Your ear >> I had to add in that classic 💖🤧
your Daria videos are literally one of the only things that get me excited about watching youtube thank you for being one of thee few creators making videos about her right now
This means so much to me 😭
Oooh the cover pic changed! I liked thaaat
I like to switch them around to see what people gravitate to 😅
Omg I legit freaked out bc I knew yesterday the cover pic was different, I thought I was CRAZY
I love your videos on Daria, next time please bless us with an in depth vid regarding Jake & Helen’s relationship
One of my favorite episodes from Season 2! Great content, love the in-depth Daria reviews 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Hi! I came to this channel for the Daria and Prejudice video, and I'm gonna' hang out on this channel a while for the Black femme takes. I'm not threatened by people having similar characteristic or interests as me, but I think it's impossible that there's anyone else who's just like me. I'm curious if you're right, though. It seems impossible, but I hope you're right.
Girl how did u know I was lookin for a vid to eat too?❤❤
Telepathy 🧘🏿♀️
RUclipsrs with the skill of knowing when chores and meals are about to start are top tier
I love these Daria break downs ❤

Thank you so much 🥹

😭😭😭🫶🏿
What’s that thing Kevin wears around his neck? I haven’t been able to pinpoint it
it’s a neck roll! it’s used to protect the head and neck while playing football :-)
@@efi99999 thank you!!
Taking notes from Quinn 😂💀
🤣🤣😅
you should be allowed to like cars 2
Freedom of speech exist, but you should be able to understand that actions have consequences
Helen DEFINITELY bought Daria that pink tshirt.
I see Daria as very Autistic-coded, especially in Boxing Daria. Would love to see your analysis on that x
I don't think she is
@@chrystianaw8256right. I think Daria is just a serious introvert
the episode where we got that flashback to her childhood really sold it to me
GIRL I GOT HERE SO EARLU
Heyyyy! 💖
SON AS J HOT OFF WORK I SAW THIS AND HAD TO CLICK OMG
Sandy is such a fake gangster
🤣🤣
😂😂😂
i've been hungry for more of your daria videos, so excited to see this 😏
Yayyyy!! 😄
Why did you change the thumbnail to Quinn, then back to Daria? :0
Seeing which thumbnail gets better engagement in my analytics lol
New fave channel honestly. Most commentary channels are getting stale but your vids are 🎉
No the lesson is be like quinn and dont give a damn about non superficial things. Ifvonly i had learned this sooner.
I love your videos! I remember being on Daria's place and how weird it felt. That put me in art block for good few month :Q
I’m glad that you’re making another Daria video good thing that I subscribed to your channel
Thank you 😁
I just noticed it while watching this video but the father on Rick and Morty basically stole the character of Jake from Daria
I’m glad to be early to one of your Daria vids
Your voice is really relaxing
Thanks 😅
10:56 Fam what is this?? 😂😂😂
Idek why I do certain things fr 💀😭
7:27 LOL
love your videos.
Appreciate you! 🫶🏿
37/38th!
Where can I watch Daria
Paramount +
Hooray new video!! 😌
Love your videos!!
Appreciate it!! 💖💖💖
17:18 😂😂
Earlyy😊
Hiiiii! 🥰
Daria is highly insecure and pretentious. But I guess that’s the point of the show.
as the show progresses, daria learns how to not be pretentious. so yea, daria learns stuff in episodes...did you even watch the show?
@@vaniillazilla I’ve watched the show (all seasons including the 2 feature length tv films) and Daria ends the show STILL a pretension unexposed teen, so what now? Yes she improves (albeit marginally) compared to the start of the show, but a random viewer watching the final season would STILL walk away believing she thought she was better than everyone else. She does not get the benefit of being a reformed individual because she gained much needed awareness over time (if she didn’t, she’d be a robot lol). She and Quinn are two sides of the same narcissistic coin. Viewers openly enjoy Daria’s sarcasm to the point of admiration but would NEVER accept or put up with that level of sarcasm from another individual in real life. In fact, they’d be quick to call it out as rude. So no, Daria doesn’t “learn how to not be pretentious” as she never stops being just that.
@@daraudobong7195okay pal since you’ve been so perfect your whole life, do you see their mother and father 😂?
Teenagers literally cannot be considered narcissists because adolescents basically have Narcissistic traits baked in by default.
@@somnodaur8064 Children can 100 percent have narcissistic traits
@@somnodaur8064 “teenagers cannot be considered narcissists” this is a factually wrong statement that you said with so much confidence. Did you get that from any scientific research (specifically the DSM 6) or did you make that up off the top of your head? I’ll take a wild guess….
I’ll invite you to do your own research and end this conversation here. Happy studying!
First ❤
Hiii!!
@alissajadyn love your stuff, have to finish the video after work
19:25 So, Daria is pretty much being the modern version of a wannabe, a "pick me"?
666 views. Had to ruin it ❤❤️ you’re welcome
I just caught that too 😭 spooky!
7:28 life changing advice
