At the middle of the song I was thinking "What about gay men?" then they start generalizing gay men lmfao
I think that's a common thought process for women in general when we're complaining about men. At some point in our angry thoughts about men and the way they treat us, we remember that gay men exist. I think because we don't really see them as a threat, typically, there's a sort of mental wall we build around them where we think of them apart from other men. I wonder if men do this also? Women tend to love gay men, but men, no matter straight or gay don't seem to like lesbians. They seem okay with bisexuals though. hmmm
Bunny shame because gay men can be just as misogynistic as straight men. and men only like lesbians when they're wanking off to them smdh
Oh yes, I know, they can be even more misogynistic sometimes. No doubt, well that's kind of the point, in any group like gender, race, sexual orientation, etc, you're always going to find exceptions to the generalizations. I think as long as we don't forget that, sometimes generalizations can be useful, in certain contexts, but yeah. The fact that men seem to reject lesbians (but love bisexuals) makes it seem like they're really just interested in us for sex, even the gay ones, I think even though they're not attracted to women, like when women are attracted to them. Again, generalizing. but still. I dunno.
You directing that at me, Monokhem? I'm not a straight woman, or a lesbian. I'm a bisexual woman. Regardless I don't depend on men for anything unless I'm paying them to do something, but that's just because I don't ever want to be in a situation where I can't just walk away from anyone, so I don't depend on women either, unless I'm paying them. Interesting, but not surprising.
monokhem you're saying all lesbians do "manly" stuff while all straight women do girly shit, can't handle physical work and wear make-up all the time? What a generalization. Geez 🙄
As a man I'm insulted.
Nowhere in the generalization was anything mentioned about sports.
Look for the song Sport Analogies, that song talks about that. 👁👄👁
Your right funny they missed that
You should give Ping Pong Girl a listen then 😂
lol
😂
"Wait I have sons."
"Your sons are gonna be rapists!"
I DAMN NEAR DIED SJDJSJSHHS
Or gay! I'm sad that no one said that in song :(
@@ololo518 si soy
😎👌
@@ololo518 🎵 Let's not generalize about them 🎵
It’s so funny
@@ololo518 what's wrong with being gay
"Gay men are all really great" lol i felt that. One of my friends jokingly was like "ugh..men" and i was like "im right here" they said "not you, you're gay"
With all due respect and all my love coming from a bi man........WHAT THE FUCK?!
God right? My friend literally even said she can't see me as a man I'm just a gay thing 🙄
Yeahhh omg I have friend who is exactly like thisssss
Ah yes, the three genders:
Woman
Man
Gay
@@theofficeholic1518 i like that!!!
Thank god I am a sassy gay man. I couldn't have handled Rebecca not liking me.
Well lucky you! *sniff*
Same
gay men are really great. 😂
Wolle van Ro ok but not all gay men are “sassy”
+Magnus Brene we're here to generalize about men my friend; it's in the title of the song
wow heathers the musical looks great
MsCloudnumber9 THATS WHAT IM SAYING
hahaha yez
Lmaooooo
Wait wait wait... I didn’t get it!!! What this has to do with Heathers?
Oooh, I hear you girl.
Let’s remember that Heather, when singing about herself and her future, was flat and unenthused. But when it comes to generalizing about men, she hits high notes and nails choreography.
I relate to this on an emotional level.
She's also hella drunk.
That’s also kinda interesting because “the moment is me “ was just Heather’s song through her own eyes while this one is from Rebecca’s perspective and therefore a lot more flashy and everyone is a all of sudden a great singer.
That's because THERE IS NO EXEPTION ALL 3 MILLION MEN ARE LIKE THIS
@@nacho9379 All 3.6 billion men.
I found out today that as a bi guy, I am 50% disgusting and 50% perfect
as a pan guy, i’ve found out i have no place in this world. which i guess i already knew
Hey. More options. More fun. More fishes in the sea. What is to be disgusted?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
As a bi man, I think I already knew this about myself?
Well it's not like you're actually 50% gay and 50% straight. So it's more like 100% perfect and 100% disgusting, making you some sort of super person.
I remember once hanging out with my girlfriends and talking shit about this coworker who was really narcissistic and tried to sabotage me. And they were like: “I bet he also hits on you while being horrible at the same time”. And then I told them “no, he’s actually gay”. They were all shocked because they never think gay guys have like… actual personalities aside from their sexuality and can be assholes
Attaching personalities to identities is way too normalized
@@koshaku That's such a Leo thing to do
@@Mrjonnyjonjon123 you're killing me inside
They do think they have personality it’s just women tend to view gay men in a positive light and a bit of a pedestal. So that they did something mean was shocking to them.
Identity essentialism and its consequences have been a disaster for humanity.
When i first watched this song i was like, "it explains the joke to much but it still slaps"
Now, looking at the comment section, i think they didn't explain the joke enough
What does still slaps mean? But, yeah, I agree- I thought everybody would get it! 😬
I know right the whole song screams sarcasm itself so I'd assume everyone would get it, I forgot not everyone in the internet is the brightest lmao.
@@jennhoff03 I think "still slaps" comes from older phrases like "a kneeslapper" for funny things.
RIGHT
There's no cure for stupid.
Ok, but Rebecca's "And why do men never listen and always think about themselves, AS OPPOSED TO WOMEN WHO ALWAYS LISTEN AND NEVER THINK ABOUT THEMSELVES" is underrated.
"Ooh I hear ya girl"
Kkkkkkkkkkkk
Yeah, it's hilarious that Rebecca of all people is saying that.
@@kryptonianguest1903 Yeah, Rebecca has some major narcissistic injury going on.
Favorite part
Paula’s face when she remembers she has sons gets me every time
Hahaha yes and the just kinda finishes the choreography with that look on her face of, "I'm suddenly doubting everything but I don't wanna ruin the thing they have going on so uh I guess"
She shouldn't have had rapists lol
The way her voice cracks a bit, it's just the right amount of genuine unnerved emotion to be hilarious.
My favourite development in the entire series is that Rebecca and Valencia ended up as friends united against Josh
Yeah? I dunno... I saw that as a bit of a plot device to keep Valencia in the show. Do you think that has ever happened in real life, ever?
West Facing yeah
I know a guy who has two ex girlfriends that became super close and jointly decided to hate him. Their relationships even overlapped a little, not not to quite the same extent.
@@PinkkElephantt the assumption that it cannot happen is also based on a negative stereotype, which in turn often comes in the way of two ex-girlfriends who would otherwise have bonded with each other. Also, so what if something may never have happened (which I completely doubt), why can't they depict it on screen as realistic character development?
@@Stonytude I think it's more about these two in particular. Valencia really has ZERO reasons to be friends with the person who repeatedly lied and gaslit and manipulated her. Paula too. I mean even in season 2.Rebecca only befriends Valencia to use her to get back at Josh.
I love how Rachel Bloom said this song manages to be feminist and anti-feminist at the same time. I love how it feels like there's some freedom in women getting to call men out on awful shit, while it also mocks how it's part of straight culture for women to generalize about men like this, almost as a ritual to make them feel better. It mocks hypocrisy but is also so extremely over the top that it's sort of a celebration to just letting go and being judgy with your friends over a glass of wine sometimes. It's also extremely catchy and fun, and the performance is perfectly executed. It's just perfect.
I don't necessarily think that "bitching about men" is feminist. Every feminist I know agrees that toxic masculinity (not all masculinity, just the parts that are toxic,) hurts men, too. You can hate the sociological implications of male privilege without hating men, just like you can hate the sociological implications of white privilege without hating white people. The only "feminists" who hate men are TERFs, and they can fuck right off, most feminists hate them.
How is it antifeminist ? I Just want to understand
@@anoni6108 I can’t know for sure what Rachel Bloom meant, but this is my impression:
The song enforces certain stereotypes that support some parts of sexism. Like the heteronormative stereotype of the lazy man who can’t even do the dishes while the dutiful woman keeps the house clean. There is a sentiment among many heterosexuals that this is the way it should be, as if men’s refusal to clean the house is somehow a natural part of being a man rather than a social issue. It’s sort of a “men are the worst, lol” rather than “men seriously need to step up”. This song gives off that vibe. It becomes even more apparent when they say that gay men are all great. Because even though gay men face homophobia, they still benefit from male privilege.
The song is also generalizing about women and feminists, by depicting women’s complaints as frivolous, and by making satire of women’s culture (the “girls’ night” thing, where women supposedly gather to rant about men). I would’t call the song actually anti-feminist though. It’s sort of meta, it’s like it’s making satire of satire of women, and it’s criticizing this form of “female empowerment”. Because over-generalizing about men and claiming that women are the greatest thing that has ever happened may feel good at the moment, but it isn’t going to help fighting sexism, and it may even enforce it.
Yeah I agreed on that , basically it's not serious at all I mean we all do it sometimes ..
@The Black Crayon Ah, yes, and all comedy is surface level. How dare they talk about the deeper levels of such jokes and what they could mean, let's just take everything at face value!
RIP song writer Adam Schlesinger. This song made many of my saddest days happier...
Thank you for all your contributions to this amazing show. He died from Corona this week.
Sad to hear this 😪
How tragic! 😭
:(
@JBubble-Art! Dude no not that meme
I can't believe the writer for a song this new is already dead. Just 31 yrs old. Man that's tough.
I love the "Let's focus for now," as to imply they will eventually circle back around to generalizing about gay men
YESSSSS
Could I just take a moment to laugh ridiculously at all the comments from guys who completely missed the point on this? Please?
It's so funny that they think this is serious because it's right there in the song
All the woman clearly missed the point of this song..
Half the people in the comments don't know what satire is.
Let’s laugh together 🤣
I thought it was a satire of how (some) men generalise about women generalising about men lol
The way Gabrielle says "Right now we're angry and sad" is PERFECTION
Tilia Häggström Yesssss
That is because women cannot control their emotions... To say the least.
Troy ?? How is this related to what they said? What??
Her facial expression there is everything
theHydraRaxnbow HELL YASS SHE’S MY MOST FAVORITE EVER AND HER VOICE IS HEAVEN!!!!😃😃😃😃🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼❤️❤️❤️💯💯👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
“Gay men are all really great, every single one!”
As a gay man, I just laugh when I hear this.
Pearl 111 I’m sure saying that will get straight people on your side.
i gave a little cheer when it was said before quietly recalling a lot of my exes and then resoundingly concluded 'ah wait no, we're trash too'.
That’s So Fetch! no one wants straight ppl on their side but thanks
Maëlle If you want rights, you do.
That’s So Fetch! if i have to kiss your ass and never make jokes on the internet in order for you to consider me a human being who deserves equal rights, you’re kind of a shit person and have a bad sense of humour
The "there are no exceptions, all three billion are like this - all 3.6 billion men" part is the highlight of this and every other song in existence. I'm sorry, I don't make the rules.
Is your username based on that mind control parasite that cats often get? :’)
Edit: Also I totally agree, best part of the song by far
If all gay men are really great, then WHY HASNT WHITE JOSH GOTTEN HIS OWN SONG!!!!!!!
asking the real questions up in here
Mitch Reeves holy shit that’s a good question.
Mitch Reeves he's a regular this season so he will have one
Yoooo legit he needs his own song
He isn't sassy.
I'm obsessed with Valencia's face when she sings "gay man are all really great"
Louis de Sainte Croix Me too SHE’S BEYOND ADORABLE!!!😍
Me too!!!!!
I love how the gay guy they know is the opposite of what they said 😂. Judgemental, rational and is the only one that had seen Rebecca's true colors from the start. (He's my favourite character)
plus rebecca doesn't like whijo
@@mccperin Yeah even tho he tried to be nice to her and all
@@mccperin i believe whijo and rebecca are actually just indifferent towards each other. like they just never won each other over.
Lol yes! Very true
@@Casesucks Last episode they have a lil spat and he admits that he might never come around to liking her lmao
I love how in saying "Gay men don't count! They're not mean, they're just sassy!" They're still technically generalizing. Obviously not all gay men are like that, just like not all straight men are abusers. It's a nice detail.
It is. However, even though all straight men aren't abusers, almost all abusers are straight men 😉
@@kbhprinsesse straight facts
That's the joke
@@kbhprinsesse50% of abuse victims are men and most of their abusers are women, and 70% of non reciprocal violence is committed by women
@@stillactinglamethey’re not
I love that this song addresses many of the exaggerations women make about men without demonizing them and dismissing them as "man-hatung feminists" showing that this is just something we need sometimes and is a coping mechanism for a lot of the real life issues of women.
Also the costumes are gorgeous and who doesn't love a good 80s-style song?
Yeah people taking it seriously when the song itself says it isn't serious and it's just them being drunk and talking shit because they're angry xD
It's actually hi-lighting that this method of coping is unhealthy and unhelpful.
Imagine the reverse of guys getting drunk and conflating one bad trait of one woman with all women, like the "Incels" (doesn't sound so good now does it).
The point is that blaming all of the opposite sex for their relationship issues (while drunk) is the least productive thing one could do.
At the end of the song Paula realizes what she is doing and how this general attitude is harmful to men and boys growing up in the world like her kids.
She actually feels bad at the end of the song because she has perpetuated harmful stereotypes.
@Atria Laurent Read my original response again.
I know it was satirical otherwise they would not have made a point to show Paula feeling bad at the end. I never said that the writers or the characters think "all men are like that" - in fact I said the exact opposite. The song clearly ridicules how society stereotypes men and how women - in situations similar to this - generalize in order to feel better about themselves. (something both sexes are guilty of)
The show takes time to give male characters depth like the song "Guys Cry too".
My point to @ninasfireescape is that Women don't actually need that kind of moment and neither do Men. Sure we all get frustrated in dating now and again but conflating or generalizing helps no one - especially not the people doing it.
@@jacobodom8401 well you'd need equality for that comparison with men who hate women to work
@Atria Laurent Precisely! Rachel is one of the most brilliant satirists out there. One thing that makes her so entertaining is that she's a feminist comedian who can take it as well as dish it out.
This is such a brilliant parody on It's Raining Men too. Very reminiscent of the music video
haha I was looking for a comment that noticed the Weather Girls connection! Spot on!
It also reminds me of "Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves" by Annie Lennox and Aretha Franklin.
Keoh 8 but it is tho ha. Like a very clear parody of it.
Keoh 8 it’s not a parody of its raining men but it is musically and visually inspired by it
VStodder The two songs are in different keys to begin with
This song: *exists*
Viewers: appreciate the irony and sarcasm of the song
Ms Mojo: IT'S A SONG ABOUT FEMINISM AND EMPOWERMENT AND HOW BAD MEN ARE
I despised that “hot take” from Ms. Mojo. She didn’t even discuss the women infantizing gay men and they only complimented themselves once, so they’re not even bringing women up
Or how she seriously said that "Women Gotta Stick Together" was about... women sticking together.
Can you link the video?
If anything this is more anti-feminist because it puts a spotlight on female hypocrisy / ignorance toward men
@@SA3Future it's both! it's taking a jab at men because the things they're saying are to a degree true for a lot of men, taking a jab at women for the hypocrisy shown, and also celebrating how women tend to do these things to kind of collectively vent about the men in their lives to feel better about themselves... it's kind of both
The irony of that part about gay men is that the most prominent gay character on the show hangs out with straight men most of the time and acts like a total dudebro.
As a Straight man i just wanna say
God damn this is catchy
They’re on our side
The last line of the song is hilarious
@@braixendon5496 not remotely lol
@@winstonmarlowe5254 ngl i thought they were, im just a little retarded lmao
It's an altogether *excellent* paraphrase of "It's Raining Men", ain't it?
I mean, guys do this too, about women. But it would probably be more of a grunge song and have them at a bar bitching about stuff. So I don't see why anyone is offended by this -- it's a pretty cheeky way of making fun of how people deal with break-ups and heartbreak.
This is ice hole fishing, something what she always does. If any of us straight and angry people catch on the bait, that's instant admission that anger is driven by psychosexual resentment towards a string of rejection which keeps people from acknowledging the other side could appreciate the admission said anger is built on generalization.
That way, we can both enjoy a wacky song and have an honest conversation about frustration. It would be eons better than the low low bar of "I'm at least not a guy who only furthers careers if they whack me off".
Part of the resentment on the side of women comes from guys like me who seemingly do nothing to stop such a power play, and this is not an excuse, but there's a reason I learn about the Harvey's from the media, they lie to us guys too insomuch that only a trusted circle of "friends" know about what they do.
Wait, are people offended by this song? I'm a straight guy and I thought this was hilarious
I feel like that would defeat the purpose, since this, as far as I can tell, is mocking a lot of feminists. Obviously, the men's rights movement is a lot smaller, and aren't known for making as many generalizations.
That thing flying over your head is the point which you missed. She's not mocking feminists at all. She's mocking the men who feel the need to say "Not all men.." whenever a woman makes any kind of comment that's remotely negative about men. This song is showing how ridiculous it is to say that feminists actually think this way. Am I really having to explain this to people??
Holly Lottie Was this a reply to my post? I didn't mention feminism. After people break up there's often a session of blowing off steam by bitching about the opposite sex. I've always thought it kind of dumb but it seems planted in our culture.
I’ve recently started a CEXG rewatch, and the greatest struggle in life is to not randomly sing “you’re sons are gonna be rapists” out loud in work. No preamble, just that one line out of context. It’s a daily struggle man.
I haven’t managed to stop singing “yes I like penises but who doesn’t” with zero context, but at least that’s less likely to cause any workplace drama.
Ugh you and I thw same struggle man
The amount of people in the comments who have completely missed the point of this song is kind of hilarious.

HEATHER'S SINGING IS SO GOOOOD
I didn't really care for her singing in Friendtopia and the Bathroom song in Season 2, but she sounds soooo good here. She's really stepping up! I hope she features prominently in this season tbh
SAME!! The Bathroom/R. Kelly one was really funny tho HAHAHA In this song tho, her line "ALL MEN ARE EMOTIONALLY STUNTED" -- when I heard that, I was like WHOA, I did not expect that from Heather!!! And her dancing is the best here too!!
I agree. You can hear her a lot of times in the harmonies. I'm glad she's stepped it up.
Freindtopia was a Spice Girls spoof, and a great one at that. I think the vocals were meant to bit Estruary accent and dodgy. Everyone's in fine form in this, it's just perfect.
RIGHT??

i do this when i have a generalise about men moment, then remember i have a son 🤦🏻♀️😂

Seriously, it feels really nice to see someone acknowledge the fact that gay men aren't seen as men and are somehow better than straight men just because of that.

My favorite part is when Paula says “All men are completely repressed” and Valencia follows with “all men only want to have sex.” You can tell they aren’t even really listening to each other’s complaints.
This show is so UNDERRATED it's criminal
It could be famous, who cares, it doesn't, BUT IT COULD IF IT WANTED TO!!
Criminally underrated - it’s brilliant & an achievement
*I love scrolling through the comments and seeing people completely miss the point of the song, lmfao*

my favourite character arc has to be valencia being internally misogynistic but mentioned about how she'd always wanted to be part of a girls' friend group and belong, and then by the end of the series she has exactly that because she took an effort to overcome said misogyny and supported rebecca, heather & paula 🥺🤧
Going onto my list of “songs I would sing at Karaoke 🎤 if I were drunk enough and had friends”
Lol they even generalize the gay men XD
Kadeem Grace you do know that's the point 😂
But not only that, they generalize about women a few times too.

so was heather lmao
1:24 I LOVE THE WAY VELLA SINGS THAT LINE OH MY GOD
Everyone’s debating about interpretations of this song so I wanna share mine.
To me this song is just from the point of view of a person who is aware that generalization of men is inaccurate and doesn’t think it’s the most moral thing to do but also admittedly uses it as a form of stress relief from misogyny. Like the song itself is really fun and upbeat, the person’s clearly having a good time generalizing about men, but also the lyrics are really self-aware, like “clearly we’re just generalizing”, but then the upbeat music of the song makes it sound sort of triumphant like, “okay, yeah, sure, I’m generalizing, but Im only human and I deserve some stress relief!” but also the song exaggerates that behavior as a way of being like “is this really what you think I do though? You think I’m intentionally making a bold statement about all men when I’m just venting?” And more and more mixed layers of feelings.
To me, the point of this song is not to convey a clear message, it’s to capture a feeling, and I think it succeeds at that and that’s why I like it.
I think a lot of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend songs are like this, they tend to poke fun at human feelings by showing how absurd they tend to be, while also giving those emotions space with a huge dance number. A lot of crazy ex-girlfriend songs are like “Yes my emotions are stupid! But I still have them!” I think this song is popular beyond the show so some people may be missing the full context of the tone of the show.
Agrea ! All the serie show life paradoxes (i dont speack english but i try 😅)
Lmao and just because you have those feelings doesn’t mean you get to paint all men as rapists, honey
Well said!
It’d be cool if these generalizations weren’t used to justify the treatment of a male abuse victims, like denying them funding, or equal recognition of male rape victims by women, or feminists then pretending they’ve never contributed to those issues and never address any of that history
@@thegrandberry4418 Good thing that doesn't happen. Hope that helps, get well soon.

Funnily enough, Adam Schlesinger, one of the songwriters from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, also did the music for Music and Lyrics.
Lena R. Oh schlesinger you 80's genius
Lena R. I really liked Music and Lyrics and I love CxG so when I saw that I wasn't even surprised. Schlesinger is also the one who came up with «You Go First» which really makes him a 80s genius
This is every time I hang out with my friends.
Abbey Howe the song is funny because it connects to a truth, but in real life the behavior is unhealthy, and as a man kind of horrifying.
Gyor Gyor As a fellow man we do it to women all the time too. So, we both need it regardless of truth or not.

Yeah, they all sound like real prizes. Yeah sure. Anyone would be "lucky" with them as girlfriends. Yeah, sure. They will torture any male child they bear and truly give them a miserable life.

This is how gender commentary should work a fun song poking fun at both genders. Ive seen a couple of comments addresssing ppl who took this the wrong way but I’ve been scrolling for a bit and I haven’t found any. I think this shows how well executed this song really is
sort to new comments. there are quite a few
Tbh after reading the comments I have no idea what's the good way to understand the song
Ooh i hear you girl.
Attn: Emmy Academy why do you overlook this show?
Because it's on The CW sadly
It's because they generalize about men who run Hollywood. I'm like they're Ovaryacting.
Ooh, I hear you girl!
+Despair Spreads Like a Virus I hate you.
Uhmm... Crazy Ex-Girlfriend won an Emmy and also a Golden Globe...so.. lol.
Guys locker room: "Ugh, coach made me run laps."
Girls Locker Room:
Can we stop for a moment and appreciate how they were still generalizing when they talked about gay men (even though it was “positive”). I love that easter egg.
Things I'm OBSESSED with in the video:
Valencia
Rachel's voice on "All three billion men are like this"
Heather's voice on "All men are emotionally stunted"
The self awareness (Ritual we need now and then)
The Ending (YOU'RE SONS ARE GOING TO BE RAPISTS)
So happy this show is back!!!
Alex Kersh ME TOO
What about when Rachel is all:
“And why do men never listen and only think about themselves
As opposed to women,
Who always listen and never think about themselves?”
her delivery on "All men are emotionally stunted" is weirdly satisfying
The irony of Heathery saying "all men are emotionally stunted'
Valencia is really bringing it for this song wow. Also subtitles now!
Her character is losing personality in my opinion. She can't be this goody two shoes. Also, White Josh he's dumb but in the premiere was very different. They shouldn't take away these traits.
Eimard Gomes I agree. Valencia was obtuse, controlling, and vain, while also being an outwardly positive and hardworking person. She was a dynamic and slightly tragic character. Now it seems like they took away all the bad traits and left only the good ones... which makes her a lot less interesting. That being said Gabrielle Ruiz is still killing it with the singing and dancing.
Eliot Schager I don’t think we’ve seen enough to judge yet... she’s just trying to help get revenge right now which is in line with how her character has always been. Both her and Heather weren’t the focus this episode but that’s okay. I’m sure they’ll get more time.
I don't think they have changed her personality, her goals have just changed. She said she had trouble having female friends before but that she really enjoyed being friends with Rebecca before the kiss. Valencia isn't an inherently nasty person. The characters are also in a way, shown through Rebecca's eyes so I think that has something to do with it too. But she got aggressive towards Rebecca cause of Josh. But Josh isn't part of her life in that way, anymore so Rebecca isn't a threat to her. And Josh hurt her so badly that it's a bonding point for her and Rebecca. Their friendship isn't out of left field. And Valencia's traits are still there. She still can be nasty and aggressive, her feelings are just no longer directed at Rebecca. She stole Anna's keys with no remorse, was passive aggressive about Anna claiming not to know her weight, and is willing to help Rebecca to sue Josh. While I am sure the suing is in part to help her friend, there is obviously a personal interest in doing so. She wasted 15 years on him, only to have him propose to some other girl very shortly after they broke up, he ruined her new dream of being a wedding planner immediately after this dream began, and in general she is tired of seeing him be reckless with other people's feelings. She is far from a goody-two shoes. I feel like she just has more depth now, because instead of seeing this stereotypical "I hate all other women" hot girl trope, we see someone with motivations for her actions, with actual rationality behind her behavior. She has more personality in general now, which isn't exactly uncommon after a break up. She is exploring who she is without someone she's been with since she was a young teenager. A lot of her hopes and dreams were built around her and Josh living their lives together, so she has to start all over again. And while it might seem odd for her to want to be friends with Rebecca, she openly stated that Rebecca wasn't really their problem, and she was right. Josh had been hesitating to commit to her long before Rebecca showed up. It may have cemented some things, but Valencia recognizes that Josh was the problem and therefore Josh gets the brunt of the blame. Her being willing to separate that out, and direct her frustration where it really belongs, shows a lot of depth to me. But that's just my opinion...I also may watch this show entirely too much >>
I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS SEASON! I am so pumped to see how the characters develop. What I love about this show is how no one is who they appear to be at first. I feel like the way we are first introduced to characters is almost exclusively through Rebecca's eyes. And then they start to develop into real people (cause they are supposed to be REAL people), that have actual depth outside of what Rebecca sees from them. And I REALLY love that. None of them went off in the direction I expected them to.
As a Man im Also Insulted.
Nowhere in the Generalization was anything mentioned about being a Gamer and rockin 4k and tea baggin noobs
Now that’s just a terrible oversight on their part.
1:30 THIS PART NEVER FAILS TO MAKE ME LAUGH
I want their heels!! Someone make a Crazy Ex GF fashion line!!
You are a genius.
Yes, please! Their outfits reminded me of En Vogue's colorful costumes in Sesame Street's "Adventure" :) ruclips.net/video/mCN2xRsUpq0/видео.html
I'm a straight guy and I want these outfits!
I need the heels! My mom used to have some similar in the early 80's, I was 10 and damn near broke my ankle in them!
I love all the ladies but God Donna Lynn's singing is so magical. Her vocal range always amazes me.
i was looking for this bc i didn't know her name. she always stands out to me, such a magnetic and skillful performer. her acting is always exactly right too woman is such a seasoned pro, just excellent
I genuinely can't think of any other song that could get away with the lyric "your sons are gonna be rapists : D " and make it work
Donna's slight delay when striking a pose at the end. It gets me every time. She really did deserve all those awards.
I MISSED THIS SHOW IM SO GLAD THEYRE BACK TODAY
I'm always ready to generalize about men
Same lol
Who isn't ??
Sims MOOD
Don’t get me STARTED on men!!!
Oooh, I hear you girl.
I love the “let’s focus for now on straight men/let’s just generalize about them” immediately after generalizing about gay men anyway 😂 this song, and show, are brilliant! and the costumes slap :)
"Wait... I have sons!" This is hysterically funny!
This is the weirdest power rangers video i've ever seen.
bro why isn't this top comment
I'm a straight, white man, and this is my favorite song on my favorite show.
This song is pretty much my mom, aunts and grandma every Saturday dinner, and I love it.
We're glad some people did understand that it's a parody of the whole " men are all the same " and it points about how ridiculous it is. Feminism is not about saying men are monsters, it's just about equality. You're appreciated !!!
I love you
@@keithrollingstone4838 yes libéral feminism ≠ radical feminism
The best part is that, most male characters on the show (with the exception of her dad), despite their faults, are largely decent men
I’ve never watched this show, but I love this
Watch it, it’s worth it!!
Same. Good thing it's on Netflix
I actually can't stop listening to this. It may be my new favourite song. And Valencia spinning in the sparkle hair spray is EVERYTHING.
2:10 I was like "Oh, I'm safe!"
Help, I can't stop listening to this.
Welcome to the club
As a man, I’m a man.
Every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes
Man that’s so deep 😭👊
This deserve way more than 72 likes
I'm so sorry for you 😐
And that means you're evil.
The joke density in this video is incredible. I'm on my 11th re-watch and I can't stop snort laughing through this.
This is going to be an amazing season.
I keep replaying Heather's "emotionally stunted" like, it's so addicting to listen to
Samesies!
i love how this song mocks in men and women at the same time
I really like the random oversized glitter hairspray moment at 2:31.
This sassy gay man needed this in his life. Specially after what's going on in Puerto Rico. Thanks for coming back on the air!
Estas en PR? (att novio de Tony, el de Mayaguez) XD
Edit (no se editar un comentario) es Mike, no ando en mi youtube
@Tuba Butter i'm a native spanish-speaker and i understood what he said, after the second read lmao but i got it
I cannot stop watching this MASTERPIECE OF MUSICAL HUMOR
To everyone who doesn't know, this is a joke
I like how tongue in cheek this is. Like they know exactly what kind of people they're parodying.
THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS ALL 3 BILLION MEN ARE LIIIKE THIIIS ---
all 3.6 billon men.
All men are emotionally stunted
When asked how they feel,
Every man's always grunted!
And why do men never listen
I'm in love with Heather's voice, I've spent 3 days only listening to her singing
Gay men are all really great, every single OOOOONNNEEEEE. I LOVE Valencia and Heather's faces at this part the best. 2:16
I get the feeling Rebecca IS gonna be a villain in her own story.
CylonAlyna it's her destiny
But that's why we love her. She's terrible but also cute.
But just last week she helped a lady cross the street who was super old, and deaf!
83croissant aaah A BIRD
And gives annually to UNICEF!
This show is to musicals what Breaking Bad was to drama. Fucking AMAZING!
Smash used to be my favorite but you're goddamn right. Glee couldn't hold a candle to this masterpiece.
Sir Comsatteur you do realize that Glee led the way to shows like Smash or Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, right?
how come? they're of the same musical genre but similarities end there, and tv musicals have already existed even before glee
Sir Comsatteur I totally agree with you. This show is just amazing and glee only got a season and a half out of my life. This one will have me to the end. 😁
Is it only me or it sounds like the song “it’s raining men” ? And yes I’m talking about the song that the music video was so innovative that it became a meme material
It's a badass video!
Ugh, such a criminally under-rated show!
The delivery of “all 3.6 billion men!” Lol
My mom divorced my dad when I was 3 or 4 and I spent 15 years hearing generalizations about men. Plot twist: I’m gay and love men.
The woman in thr yellow suit is mermista from she-ra 😄2:35 "totally"
she literally plays mermista
Go watch the show her role is literally to act “mermista”
RIP Adam 💔 Thanks for your music
Valencia dancing under the glitter is the season 3 equivalent of Heather soul-training in season 2
"Let's take one bad thing about one man and apply it to all of them"🎶🎶🎶
Never in my life have I seen a line that had more truth to it then this🤣🤣🤣 as a women myself I can confirm 100% that we do this😆😆😆
This reminds me of the song:
“It’s Raining Men.” Lol 😂
I like how tiktok took this song that criticizes both sides and took it as a man hate song
It’s honestly embarrassing since this song is making fun of them
new mario brothers i mean as if u haven’t generalized before. its not good but everyone does it. even men generalize about women or gay men generalize about men or whatever.
Another reason to be glad I don't care about TikTok and haven't gotten into it in the slightest.
That's expected, since Tiktok (and Twitter) are full of overly offended teenagers and early adults.
You have to be painfully stupid to not get that this is satire.
