0:47 I love how the car starts lifting before Gideon's dad does, implying he weighs more XD
Or maybe nodding to the show's/town's weirdness as well.
It doesn’t actually lift his dad up at all, he only goes up due to hanging onto that car that he liked lol
@@theinkyoneiguess_ then how’d he not weigh the car down?
@@TristanGeier923 Car has suspension so the car went up gravity is null but velocity isnt, for those standing still might feel the rise as long as they dont flail too much
mf hes not even levitating he jumps on his car😂😂
"I trust you."
God. Still makes me tear up every time I hear it.
Same
I cry the most at watching her being so conflicted. She's been put in a position where she doesn't know what she should do, whose voice she should listen to. Logic (Dipper) vs. heart (Stan). It's soul-crushingly heartbreaking.
@@diegodubber2140 also there's a theory that Stan and Ford are twisted versions of Mabel and Dipper if they keep growing apart. Mabel and Stan being more heart and Dipper and Ford being more logic. It just makes it more heartbreaking for her to have to chose between her brother who she has had her whole life or a twisted future version of herself
add to this she did it after hearing him say Please which solidified her choice
Dipper said Listen to your head. But Mabel chose to listen to her heart 🩷 & that was the more ethical thing to do
"I'm sorry Mr.Pines but I have a new mission, saving those kids!" Soos is the best
soos gave off glamrock freddy vibes in that part
@@thomasfarrelly2004whos soon
@JackKnots Sorry auto correct I meant tah say soos
Bro's a real one
He was just going with the flow really, the kids weren't even in any danger, I still find it so sad that they almost chose a book than their grunkle, which at that point of the story, they already know he has been working with the books for a long time
The gravity in this scene when there's (literally speaking) no gravity.... Easily my favorite scene of the show. It's so perfect. The music, the betrayal, the issues regarding trust, and most of all the author's identity. I've seen this scene a few times now, but it still makes something clench in my chest. Perfectly mastered, brilliantly done!
I love how it shows just how important Mabel is to Dipper truly making proper decisions and how without her emotional caring imagine what would have happened you know or how things would have gone and then later in the series we even see what happens when their relationship is strained and Mabel stops caring as much I eat what leads to weirdmageddon
When the gravity comes back you could say… the gravity falls
@@GaryNewOldman😐😐😐😐😐
I remember this premiering, and I totally flipped out. At school the next day, I saw one of my friends who happened to love the show, and she was with one of our other friends. The minute she saw me she ran up to me and we were just like OH MY GOSH and totally fan-girling over it for at least five minutes. Our poor other friend; he doesn't even watch the show, so he was just awkwardly standing there.
Omgosh I loved this comment. I wish i had a best fan friend:(
Lol
i remember the hype for years and finally the episode was here. I didn't have friends who watched and my brother wasn't THAT into it but it was great. Shoe knew how to build hype.
That was a common occurrence in Australia in the late 90s. Often come to school to young boys talking about what happened in the latest episode of DBZ.
The part when Mabel says "I trust you" and let's go. I saw so much fan art for it and I waited the whole show for it
I was speechless when I first saw this
Agreed. This was my reaction: Before the video starts- excited to see it, end of the video- rolling on the floor screaming from so much excitement
Well, it's exciting because it's the biggest episode in the Gravity Falls history. If you don't get excited, you just aren't that into the show.
Yeah. After it was revealed that Mcgucket didn't write them, I immediately thought Stanley.
Dylan Spencer hey u know the ice king isnt as bad as u think he is, his real name is simon and he longs to see his wife one more time. lel
What does this have to do with Gravity Falls?
"Its just going to be another wacky episode filled with silly jokes for kids"
silly jokes for kids
silly jokes for kids
silly jokes for kids
itsPatrickBoi lol
Oh yeah silly jokes remember when nuclear barrel Falls into stanley pines foot he says son of a BiTCH hows that for a silly joke
What an amazing animation had this scene
Ikr! And the music! And the feels.....
Ikr
[2:00] "Look into my eyes, Mabel: you really think I'm a bad guy?!" Just his face and the way he says that... You feel exactly what both Stan and Mabel are feeling in this moment: despair and sadness in the former, insecurity and heartbreak in the latter. While all Dipper can feel is pure, utter betrayal. It's just sad all of this, the way he's outright *begging* her to just trust him.
The real kicker is that Stan begged Mabel to stop. Even asked her "please"
The man who didn't believe in the word, to the point that it physically hurt him to say it, begged the word, "Please" without hesitation.
because Stanley is Staffords mabel and Ford is stans dipper
The fact that this is a family dispute, and that all the characters 'trusted each other' before they spilledvthe beans really hits hard in this scene - especially the really strong bond between Mabel and Dipper being shattered by one button - damn.
Who else believed the twin brother theory before this episode and screamed "WE WERE RIGHT!!!" the first time you saw this?
"I predicted that, like, year ago."
Me too.
I screamed "I WAS WRONG" because I thought the twin theory was bs
I was thinking: “Is this the part where someone or many people will say: “I KNEW IT”?”
I never really knew that much about or watch the show nor much of Disney channel (to clarify, I did know about Disney channel, but, I'm farily certain that I just didn't really watch the channel much), until practically after the show ended. I did see a few things regarding commercials and snippets of the show, but again, I never really watched it until it ended. A few instances, like when stan and ford switched clothes to trick bill, I did see that little scene when it played out on tv I think when it aired on tv originally, and I sort of knew that they'd both do that to trick bill. I do happen to have the DVD box set of the show. Edit: to clarify what I said about the whole clothing thing and not watching much of Disney channel. I mean, my 2 younger sisters watched shows on that channel, so, I would often find them doing that, and, I would sometimes see the show's that they'd watch such as jessie, and, ok, what I said about me not watching what was on that channel for the most part is true, but, there were times that I would watch a few small minutes or so every once in a great while something that my sisters were watching, but for the most part, there was not much that interested me on that channel that I'd voluntarily put the TV on that channel. I did at times see commercials for some episodes of gravity falls, such as the season one finale. Regarding the clothing swap, I did see where Stanly and Ford were asking each other what to do, and a few other minutes included between them and when stanly (dressed as ford) made the deal with bill. When stan asked what other choice they had, I made the comment about changing clothes, and, the scene came and I realized I was right.
I love the play with lights and shadows in this episode. The way when they turn toward Stan all their eyes are far brighter than normal, reinforcing the accusatory look.
They should have realized that of all people, Stan is the least likely to actively try to destroy the world. There is almost literally no profit in that.
That’s what I’m saying!
"It's just gonna be another goofy episode filled with silly jokes for kids."
It's a joke ?
@@daniapfel9673it's from a interview that Alex did 😂
... MY FOOT!
But thats what it is? Lol?
i mean it did start as a normal episode
The ending credit scene was so beautiful and peaceful. I love those types of credit endings where it’s no sound except for air birds and it shows the childhood of the main characters
This is the best Gravity Falls moment. Next is Bill's death.
Gravity fails
@@MB-fx6vb ???
This aged well
Bill's "Death" lol
@@fuzziethetrueinternetexplo3283 Are you...a time traveler?
The author of the journals... (Stanford Pines' face is finally revealed!) ...my brother.
One of the best Soos scenes: Mabel," is this the part where one of us faints?" Soos," I'm so on it dude!" Then.....faint
After such a dark episode, which is the prelude to a perhaps even darker one, it was the so much needed breather moment.
This episode, like the entire series is more fast-paced and extremely intense, even the music in this is “chef’s kiss”!
I remember back when this episode was aired, the author who was finally revealed in this episode, was so unpredictable..
Well, peopöe predicted it. But Alex and the team released and took down an image depicting McGucket writing the journals as a diversion. This is true dedication.
Can’t believe this was 6 years ago. I’m 18 now and thinking about colleges, and I wouldn’t have what it takes to get into like ANY of them if not for this day. Thanks to Mabel “screwing up” as she always did that summer, I had like a 5 year education boost in like three weeks. Still see Stan and Ford every now and again, they visit rarely. Always wondered what would’ve happened had I taken up that apprenticeship though.
I suppose one's fate would change, but we'll never receive the exact answer.
2:40 This is the moment that Gravity Fell.
Cause that's what it does: Falls
*And that’s how Gravity Falls was made*
2:54 anyone notice it's the same music playing when I first find journal 3 in episode 1
I told Wendy the truth
Dipper Pines i watch the show too much so yes lmao
Dipper: WHO'S THAT POKEMON
The Author of the journals, my brother
XD
Something I never realized, Mabel believes Stan only because he said “please” for the first time in his life.
You know, a few years ago, Man of Actions studios (showing how respectful they are) responded to criticism to Ultimate Spider-Man saying that people shouldn't expect a show by Disney on a Disney owned network to be good, that it's geared towards children and doesn't need to be quality.
Gravity Falls, which aired the same year and targets the same audience as Ultimate Spider-Man, with episodes like Not What He Seems, is the counter argument. That just because it's geared towards children, doesn't mean it can't have quality writing and acting. Just because it's Disney doesn't mean it can't be good. And just because you have silly stuff like Soos getting poked in the stomach, Dipper and Pacifica's awkward hug and Mabel's hallucinations from expired candy, doesn't mean it can't also be a show that has good emotional moments. This episode is strong, not just with elements of betrayal, trust and secrecy, but it's even structured differently than other episodes. This scene in particular only has levity until the very end, after over 3 minutes of real drama and seriousness. And a lot of credit needs to be given to Jason Ritter and Kristen Schaal for their acting, respectively showing Dipper's anger and Mabel's broken heart of Grunkle Stan's going behind their backs.
Yep
watching this makes me so anxious because i know for a fact theres a universe where they DID press the button and stanley wouldve lost EVERYTHING
Somewhere off in the distance, Bill Cipher is laughing evilly while getting excited about what's to come?
Dipper used his head to try and convince Mabel to press the button even after hearing Stan's plea instead of listening to his heart in trusting Stan. What Mabel did is that she didn't use her head but she listened to her heart and trusted Stan.
PlainWhiteSoul which is why Dipper and Mabel are the best team. Their polarizing personalities balance each other out. Dipper is The Brain (rational, cynical, and realist), Mabel is The Heart (optimist, impulsive, and values feelings and emotions). And, unlike many TV shows, where the twins are on each other’s necks only with a few heartwarming moments, they love each other and they show it, and even if they fight, it lasts almost 5 minutes before they make up
@@veronicapiccinini7956 Though I do wish Mabel would be a little less selfish sometimes
Gravity Falls might not be my absolute favourite show of all time (still no. 2 tho) but this is probably one of the best episodes of a show ever made!
Man I remember just watching this scene and screaming and crying at the same time for basically the whole episode. I honestly wanna do a fan re-animation some day.
(More anime style, like the famous remake of the car scene with Pacifica)
mike inel a youtuber reanimated the part of the scene before ford comes through the portal
@@phoenixarcweilder8399 oh the porn guy, cool
Guys foreshadowed I think the picture of dipper and Mabel being broken at the end. I think it means also in the beginning when stan said it's unlikely for twins to get along. That's after all the crazy things happened when dipper get's angry why she dint shut it down and dipper gets trap in the portal like GRUNKLE STANS BROTHER
3 minutes feels like an hour with this scene.
I think it's the music when The Author leaves the portal that really makes this scene.
I bet Dipper is happy he didn't shut down the portal...
The portal caused Weirdmageddon, so idk about that.
@@SmashingPichu well based on what the book of bill put on the table...maybe this wasnt so bad
This guys... this is what i call a plot twist
Honestly, this is the best moment in the series. Of course besides the ending of the entire show, both were so sad
2:53 I just noticed, in the bottom left hand corner the symbol looks like the Society of the Blind eye symbol
Gravity falls is way too awesome nothing to hate in the show
This show has plenty of flaws but it's still great
I mean it can get cringey at parts but plotwise yeah true
And some people really hate Mabel
Yes there is....
There isn’t more seasons
2:17 that’s a really powerful scene right there.
I remember being in junior high watching this, my mom would occasionally stop and watch cuz of the “silly characters” but we were locked in watching this episode, you could hear a pin drop, this episode was AMAZING
still gives me goosebumps years later😭
THIS SCENE GOT TO ME SO HARD
🤨
@@GPQUXi think u read it wrong😭
@@duaIsaberI read it like that too 💀
That is single handedly the worst way to word this.
I know I'm a few years late but I feel Jason Ritter doesn't get enough praise for his fantastic voice acting, like you can hear and feel his sadness and shock at Stan's betrayal and secret especially when Mabel chooses not to push the button, you can hear the anger when Mabel chooses Stan over him 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
This is my favorite scene in anything ever
When I first saw this, me and my sister's jaws dropped to the floor when Ford was revealed.
I passed out during this scene...
Same
MATCHING ICONS
Xx †Leah† xX OMG XD i didnt even notice hahaha
Grumpy Dipper XD. That was one of my favorite parts of the episode. Love the weirdness bubbles!
okay soos
i don't know why but I really like that scene where Dipper says no and they all just look like they get vaporized maybe its the animation and how different they look
That scene gives me chills
Seeing what it did to the town, I really didn't know what the best course of action would be, trust Stan or play it safe.
Which one?
Still hits me in the feels to this day
1:33 Gets me everytime.
Is there any way of finding the music that was used in this scene? It's so dramatic I'd love to hear it without the dialogue.
+Nekrotix I want it, too!
I have a video on my channel about it, look for the NWHS ending music video
PurpleFlowerGirl I
I am so happy the author is revealed
mabel trusting stan always brings a tear to eye
This episode is the best episode of the best show of all time.
If anyone can change my mind, I'd be well and truly astonished.
I swear, this is like, probably the new biggest thing on RUclips.
Definitely best scene in the whole show. It all ads up.
"Mabel look into my eyes, do you really think im a bad guy?"
*Top 10 times where real men cried*
Especially because of what we learn about him in the next episode. Someone DID think that and cast him out on the spot without him even getting to breathe a word to explain himself. What hurts the most is that we're talking about HIS OWN FATHER. He is pretty much fearing that it's happening again, that history will repeat itself and that he will left completely alone in a miserable, lousy, lonely wreck of a life with even the last family he has left turning their backs on him out of mistrust. It's just heartbreaking to learn all the heartache this man had suffered, to learn that aside from the twins, his few friends and his shack, he's been pretty much left with nothing and no one.
0:35-1:25 I love the music
Man. That sure was a Gravity Fall
I think this episode is one of the few from the show that I Actually saw while the show was airing, and I'm glad I did
Gravity Falls is perfect as it is, but if I could, I would add another season, splitting Season two from this episode. Add nine more episodes before “Not what he seems” and make them the new season two, to further explore the mysteries of the other two journals, as we never really got to know what’s in them; then add ten more episodes after “A tale of two Stans” and before “Dipper and Mable vs the future” as the new season three, which will primarily focus on adventuring with the author of the journals, as well as exploring the Pines family relationships.
Damn it's been 3 years since that episode aired man how time flies by.
Ikr
Damn it's been 5 years since u posted this comment man crazy how time flies by.
@@RandomDylan Tbh I posted it back in October-November of 2018 so by now my comment will be 6 years old by now.
One of the most badass, most epic, most thrilling, and exciting scenes in animated history. The animators, story directors, visual artists, and Alex Hirsch himself NAILED this scene!
Mabel trusted Stan and everything turned out okay. He kept a lot of big secrets but he was still the guy she thought he was.
Dipper stopped moving his hand before Stan yelled at him to stop
I love how this episode was built up,there was an episode prior to this where Stan had trouble saying “Please” even when THOUSANDS OF DOLLAR were on the line he still didn’t say it,but here this is the most we hear Stan “please” in a single episode IN THE WHOLE SERIES.He wants his brother back even if it means destroying the world he rather know he died trying than to not live without Ford
This was definitely one of the best episodes of Gravity Falls.
Jason, Alex and Kristen held NOTHING back.
3:18 oh ho ho! I am totally on it dude! “Faints”
Is it just me or did the author look pretty pissed. Also BEST EPISODE EVER
Lol I died of laughing when I saw his face XD
Ahhhh the good old days when we called him "the author"
How come Stan didn't just say that he was saving his brother?
Idk
For dramatic effect
Would they have believed him? He's a con artist, with a shady past to boot.
"You're using this doomsday-looking weapon to save a brother we've never heard of? Yeah right."
Anyone else except for Stanley think the machine is a doomsday device. So yeah,good luck to convince the other people otherwise
This is one of the best scenes in animated history
It’s like Alex fighting with his own self and also Jason and Kristine
This is episode is so goated my jaw dropped
I adored the visuals on the portal, such a wonderfully animated intimidating machine
The best part of the episode.
My twin sister and I both watched this and A Tale of Two Stans together, and that is one of my best memories. Both her and I were freaking out when this episode came out.
I just cannot get enough of this scene!! Even after watching the whole episode (and the one after it), I still can't get enough of this scene!
It's weird that Dipper stopped trying to hit the button before Stan told him not to hit the button.
Dan Graff yeah, considering he doesn’t trust people so easily, and it’s known to have an hard time to let go grudges to those who wronged him or his twin sister. So maybe it’s character development
I came dangerously close to screaming the first time I saw this part- and all the other times
"I don't even know who you are!"
Ow, my heart
I hate that we might never get another peak written episode for a kids show again
You know, a part of me is still upset Dipper never apologizes to Grunkle Stan for assuming he was going to kill them all
I believe he does, in the very next episode, in fact?
@@QuietBreeze97 yeah he actually apologizes when he realized what the truth was
Will you look at that, Gravity sure falls.
Wow 4 years i remember watching the premiere in my great grandmas room she passed 🙏.
The soundtrack is absolutely beautiful
in this situation, gravity *falls.*
this is a fantastic scene but man stan could've just said "i'm trying to rescue my brother who got trapped in this portal and whose name i've been living under for 30 years"
1:33 the way they stop when they see her tears
"Mabel, look into my eyes! Do you really think I'm a bad guy?"
GRUNKLE Stan i trust you....... MABEL!! Are you crazy were all gonna!
THE greatest reveal/plot twist in animation EVER
do NOT dare to tell me it isnt
Greatest moment in a kids tv show
And saddest
I understand Dioper’s frustration but his assumptions are completely idiotic. I mean why would he want to destroy the world when theirs nothing to gain from it?! At least Mabel and Soos tried thinking for a minute and listen
Stan said please without any ill side effects. This is serious.
What a bastard!
Can’t believe this was 4 years ago already
0:53 Floating truck!
2:43 Hey. where's the truck?
Dipper, 30 years ago my brother went through that portal. I want him back that's why I'm doing all this.
I would've explained to dipper in a few simple lines.
Imagine if Stan came down in his normal shack cloths when he's not working as in his filthy tank top I think and other accesories
she probably would of pressed the buttom
