my favorite thing about toby is that he spent the basically whole first season just being a nice person and the show’s framing of it was “what a suspicious weirdo”
I feel the same way about Jason. As far as I remember he actually never did anything bad. He was a normal older brother and quite helpful but the four living girl-bosses acted like he was dropping bodies left and right.
@@alias1150 He never did anything bad? The guy is not the worst on the show and he changes as a person but that doesn't excuse the fact that he founded the slimy N.A.T peedough club where his friends filmed UNDERAGE girls in their BEDROOM including his SISTER and does nothing about it except tell Spencer and then leave the club.Ian groomed Allison and Spencer,Garret was seeing Jenna,and Jason had a lil moment with Aria.He knew what kind of nasty friends he had and you'd think he'd fiercely protect his sister from being harmed by Ian He finee tho
Arghhhhdidk The writers have a habit of making it look like a particular character is A and the girls will treat them suspiciously and then they all end up looking like mugs when they aren't A 🙃😫😭💀
@@xakirax_8864 I honestly forgot about that. Was it ever mentioned more than once? I just never saw him as a "bad guy". He also admits to being on drugs for years, not that it is an excuse for creating the NAT club. Although the trauma caused by being gaslit by your parents into thinking your "brother" is your imaginary friend probably didn't help his decision-making ability. But he's the only one from the NAT club that changes and actively tries to help people. He helps at-risk youth and is rather "honest" when the liars question him. He's one of the characters I wish they invested more time in because he had the potential for so many interesting storylines with the Hastings or Cece. I would love to see him react to Alex Drake. I get that it probably came down to actor availability.
@@lleah2839 shes a good character, not like a good person character but lord the way they wrote her is so well done. i despise her. and poor toby man, he deserved better
“we find out jenna has a seeing eye dog named shadow, shadows really cute, we never see shadow again” this line summarized the whole show and im here for it
Obsessed with the way the writers apparently went “Ok Aria’s thing is English so we’re gonna surround her with people whose names are inexplicably related to the English literary canon. Her father will be Byron, her childhood friend will be Holden, her love interest will be a Fitzgerald. We will do nothing remotely similar for any of the other characters.”
Damn I never even noticed that before. I love it when movies and TV shows try to give something sophistication and authenticity by just - naming characters after famous people or saying their story is inspired by a classic. Like if you're gonna use it ya gotta earn it. 😂
the amount of times something wild is followed by "and it never comes up again" "and we never find out why" "it contradicts a previous point and is just there for no reason" is hilarious
right like i didn't realize mosst of this. i remembered and knew the ian thing because i was like oh he was totally murdered. what do you mean he KILLED HIMSELF but the body was MOVED AND THE SUICIDE NOTE WAS STAGED BY A and thats NEVER EXPLAINED? but i forgot about the motel room and i already cant remember what else was listed in this video. ive seen the show eight times and im planning on watching it again soon twice, once with my friends and once with my girlfriend.
funniest thing is the line getting more and more frequent as you go through the video. like during season 1 you don't really hear it a lot but by the time you're at season 3 of the video it's every other plotline😭😭
So I agree that Melissa should choose better, less creepy partners and she should be pissed at them. However, at 14-16 Spencer, especially given her IQ, is more than old enough to know better than to kiss her sister’s partners. It’s not unreasonable to also blame Spencer because Spencer definitely aims to attract her Melissa’s partners
@@LorieLynnnot to mention she later dates caleb. and while both are wrong spencer has a history for stealing exes & considering caleb didn’t groom her like the rest. it’s no excuse, she’s truly not a girls girl lol

on september 17 2022 I started watching this video, I knew absolitely nothing about PLL. I got like half an hour in and I thought "mh, you know what? this show seems kinda cool, I could watch it" so I paused it and I asked my gf who used to be a big PLL fan when it first came out if she wanted to rewatch it together. Today, a WHOLE YEAR LATER, we watched the last episode. It took us ONE YEAR to get through the absolute madness this show is. And here I am now, 12 months and a whole lot of nonsense later, finally finishing this video.
The slow fade to the photo of Alison wearing the iconic Lady Gaga wig immediately followed by "Mona has escaped Radley by literally walking out the front door" has me screaming and in tears. This entire video is art.
"This will become a plot hole later, feel free to remember that." The way some shows have little plot holes or continuity errors but PLL hit the GAS honestly is just more iconic.
Something I always found HILARIOUS was how the show tried to make out Aria’s parents for being villains bc they didn’t approve of their daughter being involved with her teacher 😭

@@dryskinqueen fortunately I never experienced that, however this show is the reason why I got into the whole lolita tumblr thing and totally romanticized this type of relationship… I’m an adult now and realize how fucked up that was for me to think that. Edit: I mean how fucked up it was for this show to portray it as okay
As someone who has unfortunately read the majority of the Pretty Little Liars books, I feel it is crucial to stress that the events of the pilot episode take up almost the ENTIRE first book.
Literally lmao they flew through that first book. But also to be fair, if you read them online, the books are super short. Idk what printing magic they used to make the physical books bigger, but the free ebook version has like 35 long pages of text each and is the entire book.
Your line "Ezra Fitz is not seeing heaven, and I'll make sure of it." absolutely changed my life, picturing you skulking in the bushes outside the pearly gates with a tranquilizer dart and a net or something.
can we talk about how emily went through the worst shit like she almost died 20 times she could not catch a break and none of the other girls went through half of it 😭😭
fr and her house literally got crashed into and she injured her shoulder and lost her entire future college and career 😭 AND A literally gives her a hole in her stomach from giving her steroid cream!!!
i meeean, hanna did kinda go through it too she almost died in s1, got her ed intentionally triggered, was even tortured in the last season etc the one who had it the easiest was aria for sure
@@confusedbutgotthespirit no ur so right i wrote this when i was still on s1 lmao. hanna is my fav i felt so bad for her she didn't deserve that and lowk aria got on my nerves
I can not explain how unhinged this feels. Like I feel like I met you at a party and you were like “hey wanna hear about my pretty little liars theories?” And I was like ok and then you dragged me in this room and locked me in for 2 hours to give me the most frantic explanation I I’ve ever heard. I’m very invested though
I have never seen of video of Mike's before and I'm not more than 5 minutes into the video and am living for this man's personality. And gurl, I have a feeling you are right on the money and am sooooo excited!!! ;alskdfoquwrhg/lknsdvoiq update: That was some of the absolute best chaos I've sat thru. I scrolled down to like the video so many times, just to see that I'd already liked it lol

The funniest thing about all of this is that this info skates right off my brain, so I can watch these videos on loop back-to-back-to-back and *still* could not tell you a damn thing that happens on this show.
I was watching this while having dinner, accidentally spilled my drink and scrolled from you describing the pilot to you suddenly wandering around in a blonde wig wearing a pink hoodie and honestly I’ve never been more hooked
Incredible that Allison somehow managed to interact with literally everyone she knows within a 20 mile radius on the day she “died”. Like I’d need to disappear for a few years just to recover from all that too ngl
@@mikesmic hey I really love these videos! If you wanna do one of these on a show that’s SO under appreciated imo, you should do one on House of Anubis. There’s not nearly enough appreciation for that show online and it’s super entertaining
That’s what I’m saying, it’s so annoying. Have you all not learned anything from the billion other times you were wrong about who A or the killer is 🙄😂
I mean, they were wrong in assuming A was one person so the first time they were wrong was at least reasonable - even if the degree of stalking made that clearly questionable. Chalk it up to nerves. As soon as they got that realization it was stupid. But tbh the only logical way A could have known everything is if one of the core group was A. Even the actresses who played them were sure one of them was A. It was changed because the fan base hit it on the nose, but Marlene got offended they guessed it and went out of her way to make an unguessable plot twist that ruined the whole show.
Smiley Riley She openly admitted that she rewrote the ending of the show to one of the other fan theories just because people had guessed who A was. Really upsetting it threw off the whole show
I just finished rewatching all 7 seasons and I'd definitely say watch it. It is such a wild ride! The writing is all over the place and there are SO MANY plotholes. But it is a genuinely entertaining show.
i have watched this entire series multiple times. to go to sleep, when i’m cleaning, when i’m cooking, for some reason these videos come up in my recomendad and nothing else compares
When I was in grade 6, a girl didn't do her maths homework and claimed that her maths book had been "stolen". The next day she found it on her desk and there was a note from "A" in it. Everyone lost their shit. Her book went "missing" and she found it on her bed that afternoon with another note from A. She claimed no one had been home all day and the house had been locked. Everyone in the class was eating this up and I can't even imagine the cringe my teacher must have felt.
You know if I was Melissa I’d be less like “omg my sister is a skank” and more like “why are all my boyfriends into grooming my younger sister and her young friends”
god i hated melissa. i hated melissa so much that it's bled into me hating the actress (but the actress always tends to play similarly terrible characters so like, am i wrong for that?)

it shows me that they never had any idea what they were doing plot wise (beyond maybe season 2 finale) bc if they knew ali was coming back as a main character they probably would’ve hired someone the same age as the rest of the cast
@@Ellieeeeeee124 it was my understanding that they initially wanted someone older but when they found Sasha they said she was absolutely perfect for the role, and they fully intended to keep her around but in a way that didn’t overly sexualize her in the same ways the older cast members were. Plus they legally just couldn’t
The fact that Mike didn’t utter Aria’s most iconic line: “Bitch can see!” disappoints only mildly, further proving his point that this is, slightly unhinged.
I've literally watched this recap series 7 times in total and still want to keep watching. Phenomenal recap. I was able to have a conversation with people who actually WATCHED the show and they were shocked I hadn't seen it.
They were 100% writing as they went. Like they didn’t know who A was as they were writing it and kept changing who it was as people guessed who it was. They wanted it to be a surprise but did it terribly. You can’t make a “ooh let’s guess who the baddie is” show and then get mad when people guess who the baddie is
@@Megasaurusify and it makes it even more exciting when they reveal and your right cause then it’s kinda like a “NO WAY OMG I WAS RIGHT” Or an “I KNEW IT :D” moment
couldn't agree more; i think shows like PLL or GG need to be planned and figured out by the writers from the beginning, deciding who A/Gossip Girl is and then creating a storyline around it. by only choosing them in the final, they have created soooo many plotholes that simply do not make any sense
I'm late on this one but ''the implied threat level of this blind girl is extremely high... like this girl is blind but she's also a thanos-level threat'' is possibly the funniest thing ever said. jenna marshall was truly such a serve of a character
I'm rewatching right now and his line is SO accurate. Jenna continues to be an Avengers-level threat even in s7. Melissa was the same in early seasons too
As a straight man who knew nothing about this series (except the name), this feels like a being apart of the popular girls table i was never allowed at, and i'm loving every second of it.
The chaos of the show literally starting off with a slow zoom in to the barn on a stormy night and DONT TRUST ME by 3OH!3 playing aggressively loud makes sense. It just really set the tone for the rest of the show.
@@ijeuna12 First one is free, get five obituaries and I’ll arrange for a glitter cannon to the tune of your choice (I recommend lipgloss by charli xcx feat. Cupcakke) ❤️
Literally so glad that you mentioned the fact that because the actors don’t look young, it doesn’t seem problematic. Pedophilia runs so high in Hollywood because so many shows can be set in College/University
One thing I've heard is that show writers opt for high school settings because it's more relatable to more people. Not everyone goes to college but most graduate high school. Also, I have always found the whole "Hollywood is full of pedophiles" thing to be insanely naive. Pedophilia is a bigger problem in most societies as much as that makes us uncomfortable. Researchers estimate up to 5% (1 out of every 20) of males are pedophiles.
i was also in the trenches re: Aria is A. There was SOOO much that pointed to her. Tweets from Marlene, hints in her outfits, the "Big A" thing. The way she wrote the A in Aria on the halloween train! And i think they thought they were being sly but everyone figured it out so they had to change it hence some of the plot holes. thats my humble opinion.
I agree but they didn’t *have* to change it, changing an ending because you need the shock factor is a sign of weakness. If your story is strong it doesn’t matter if people have guessed it
@@songbird6414 Apparently when they first hired her they didn't realise that especially compared to the rest of the cast she was an actual baby but she did such a good job! (Although seeing her and Spencer or Emily especially in the same scene just drives home how actual teenagers might look vs how film and tv lead you to think they look lmao)
unbelievable its already been over two years since this video has been uploaded smh, this video brought me so much comfort during my exchange year, I`d always watch it while eating lunch/dinner
can I just say how excited and nostalgic you made me feel the moment you started describing the first scene of the flashback😩 it flooded me in seconds with remembering all the things that made this show incredible to watch as a teen. the soft horror, the mystery, the *speculations.* I remember how often I went back to this scene in my head and wondered if it was Spencer that killed her just because they had her already awake, coming back from outside. these small choices make all the mystery and wonder, and PLL did it so incredibly well in the first seasons. I think even though it wasn't of very high quality and acting, and at times very ridiculous, there is a lot to be said about the new, iconic type of mystery TV this show invented.
i think one of the funniest parts about this show is that they literally could’ve chosen ANY pre existing character to be A in the series finale and it would’ve been better than what it was💀
I always loved how SO much happen the night Allison died. Allison had more drama, arguments and hookups in one night then most people have in their entire lifetime! My goodness!

he’s the reason i dated an absolute piece of human shit that was 22 when i was 15. i thought it was ok
@@dryskinqueen fortunately I never experienced that, however this show is the reason why I got into the whole lolita tumblr thing and totally romanticized this type of relationship… I’m an adult now and realize how fucked up that was for me to think that. Edit: I mean how fucked up it was for this show to portray it as okay
@@dryskinqueen so sorry you went through that... that 22 yr old is a pos 🤮

mike is god confirmed 🤪🤞
I was looking for this comment the second after Mike said it. It's an iconic moment for sure.
As someone who has unfortunately read the majority of the Pretty Little Liars books, I feel it is crucial to stress that the events of the pilot episode take up almost the ENTIRE first book.
ABSOLUTELY. After he said "and that's just the pilot episode" i was like "tha-thats the first book". AND THERES SEVEN SEASONS
Bea TM my god I just found out that there's 7 seasons. I thought there were only 6
Literally lmao they flew through that first book. But also to be fair, if you read them online, the books are super short. Idk what printing magic they used to make the physical books bigger, but the free ebook version has like 35 long pages of text each and is the entire book.

The funniest thing about all of this is that this info skates right off my brain, so I can watch these videos on loop back-to-back-to-back and *still* could not tell you a damn thing that happens on this show.
"Jenna has a seeing eye dog named Shadow. You'll never see Shadow again." The highlight of the video for me
Dogs have a habit of disappearing in this show
Dogs are plot bandaids in this show lol

Incredible that Allison somehow managed to interact with literally everyone she knows within a 20 mile radius on the day she “died”. Like I’d need to disappear for a few years just to recover from all that too ngl
And she did disappeared for a few years.
She was out in the trenches that day
I love how the one thing everyone notes is how much social interaction she had
I’m late but like sammme that’s to many people
My introverted ass could never.
I need a week to recover from ONE social interaction.😮💨

what kills me about this is just how confident the girls were everytime they thought someone was A and they were always wrong.😭💀😂
That’s what I’m saying, it’s so annoying. Have you all not learned anything from the billion other times you were wrong about who A or the killer is 🙄😂
I cant even blame them considering marlene herself probably didnt even decide who A was until maybe the last season 😭😭
@@cal0ri321 (spoiler) Exactly, though it is funny to imagine her going in wanting it to be Spencer's evil twin
I mean, they were wrong in assuming A was one person so the first time they were wrong was at least reasonable - even if the degree of stalking made that clearly questionable. Chalk it up to nerves. As soon as they got that realization it was stupid. But tbh the only logical way A could have known everything is if one of the core group was A. Even the actresses who played them were sure one of them was A. It was changed because the fan base hit it on the nose, but Marlene got offended they guessed it and went out of her way to make an unguessable plot twist that ruined the whole show.
Smiley Riley She openly admitted that she rewrote the ending of the show to one of the other fan theories just because people had guessed who A was. Really upsetting it threw off the whole show
Iconic how this is 2,5 years old and people still watch and leave comments almost every day...
Just shows how hurt we all still are by Marlene.
I love how this swings between "True Crime Documentary" and "heated live-tweet vent about a reality show" with no warning or transition.
I'm torn between "I don't have to watch the show now" and "god I have to watch this disaster happen with my own two eyes"
WATCH ITT!!!! it’s so interesting
I just finished rewatching all 7 seasons and I'd definitely say watch it. It is such a wild ride! The writing is all over the place and there are SO MANY plotholes. But it is a genuinely entertaining show.

I’m pretty sure she was always meant to be A.
i have watched this entire series multiple times. to go to sleep, when i’m cleaning, when i’m cooking, for some reason these videos come up in my recomendad and nothing else compares
When I was in grade 6, a girl didn't do her maths homework and claimed that her maths book had been "stolen". The next day she found it on her desk and there was a note from "A" in it. Everyone lost their shit. Her book went "missing" and she found it on her bed that afternoon with another note from A. She claimed no one had been home all day and the house had been locked. Everyone in the class was eating this up and I can't even imagine the cringe my teacher must have felt.
honestly that's so girlboss of her
That’s so funny
oh but that is so iconic
Oh your poor teacher
i mean. i would eat that shit up too. sounds fun.

it’s concerning to me that i know what all of these mean
i will never forget that Sasha is literally 13 at the beginning of the show and everyone else was like in their 20's
it shows me that they never had any idea what they were doing plot wise (beyond maybe season 2 finale) bc if they knew ali was coming back as a main character they probably would’ve hired someone the same age as the rest of the cast
@@Ellieeeeeee124 it was my understanding that they initially wanted someone older but when they found Sasha they said she was absolutely perfect for the role, and they fully intended to keep her around but in a way that didn’t overly sexualize her in the same ways the older cast members were. Plus they legally just couldn’t
she really just did THAT
She was acc 12
Her and Troian were 11 years apart! Crazy
“The way Sasha was in the trenches with these crusty wigs.” I cackled!!!
"There's a blind girl who's Thanos" just gets me every time I come back
Especially since Thanos wasn't even a thing until a half way through the PLL showrun.
😂😂😂 she was fkn blind but they were always so terrified of her tip tappin into the scene 😅
No way it’s been two years since you made this I remember the day it came out like it was like yesterday 😭😭😭
“in episode nine Aria sings randomly” i CACKLED thank you
i don’t even remember too like 😂😂
i cringed so hard like she just busted a note out of nowhere IN FRONT of noel no less 🥴
I think Mike finds Aria odd, at the Halloween Train, he is saying how everyone slays their outfits. Then, he said: "Aria... was there"😅😅
@@Lilly_Mughe means that her outfit is boring/ugly lmao
Facts!!! Why is she singing…..what was the reason 😅
The fact that Mike didn’t utter Aria’s most iconic line: “Bitch can see!” disappoints only mildly, further proving his point that this is, slightly unhinged.
Will never come close to Hannah’s most iconic line “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool my best friend, you’re dead freakin meat.”
I haven't watched this show, but these quotes are iconic.

@@missserenity1090 Y-yeah hahahaha
I've literally watched this recap series 7 times in total and still want to keep watching. Phenomenal recap. I was able to have a conversation with people who actually WATCHED the show and they were shocked I hadn't seen it.
They were 100% writing as they went. Like they didn’t know who A was as they were writing it and kept changing who it was as people guessed who it was. They wanted it to be a surprise but did it terribly. You can’t make a “ooh let’s guess who the baddie is” show and then get mad when people guess who the baddie is
They did the same thing with Gossip Girl
if mona was hanna's friend before Alison it would have made more sense
@@Megasaurusify and it makes it even more exciting when they reveal and your right cause then it’s kinda like a “NO WAY OMG I WAS RIGHT”
Or an “I KNEW IT :D” moment
couldn't agree more; i think shows like PLL or GG need to be planned and figured out by the writers from the beginning, deciding who A/Gossip Girl is and then creating a storyline around it. by only choosing them in the final, they have created soooo many plotholes that simply do not make any sense
Just like Dan being GG, so dumb!!!
I'm late on this one but ''the implied threat level of this blind girl is extremely high... like this girl is blind but she's also a thanos-level threat'' is possibly the funniest thing ever said. jenna marshall was truly such a serve of a character
I'm rewatching right now and his line is SO accurate. Jenna continues to be an Avengers-level threat even in s7. Melissa was the same in early seasons too
As a straight man who knew nothing about this series (except the name), this feels like a being apart of the popular girls table i was never allowed at, and i'm loving every second of it.

Literally so glad that you mentioned the fact that because the actors don’t look young, it doesn’t seem problematic. Pedophilia runs so high in Hollywood because so many shows can be set in College/University
One thing I've heard is that show writers opt for high school settings because it's more relatable to more people. Not everyone goes to college but most graduate high school.
Also, I have always found the whole "Hollywood is full of pedophiles" thing to be insanely naive. Pedophilia is a bigger problem in most societies as much as that makes us uncomfortable. Researchers estimate up to 5% (1 out of every 20) of males are pedophiles.

The way she wrote the A in Aria on the halloween train! And i think they thought they were being sly but everyone figured it out so they had to change it hence some of the plot holes. thats my humble opinion.
I agree but they didn’t *have* to change it, changing an ending because you need the shock factor is a sign of weakness. If your story is strong it doesn’t matter if people have guessed it
Can we talk about the fact that Sasha was 13/14 years old playing Allison in season 2 and she did absolutely incredible

unrelated but the actor is so attractive
can I just say how excited and nostalgic you made me feel the moment you started describing the first scene of the flashback😩
it flooded me in seconds with remembering all the things that made this show incredible to watch as a teen. the soft horror, the mystery, the *speculations.*
I remember how often I went back to this scene in my head and wondered if it was Spencer that killed her just because they had her already awake, coming back from outside. these small choices make all the mystery and wonder, and PLL did it so incredibly well in the first seasons. I think even though it wasn't of very high quality and acting, and at times very ridiculous, there is a lot to be said about the new, iconic type of mystery TV this show invented.
i think one of the funniest parts about this show is that they literally could’ve chosen ANY pre existing character to be A in the series finale and it would’ve been better than what it was💀
"YOU AWIGHT THARE?!?" Please I couldn't breathe the entire time 😭😭
this is painfully true
Yes it's a lot better than ello Spencer 😂
Personally think it suited aria
It was meant to be her but to many ppl guessed it so they changed it i will stay salty abt that
I always loved how SO much happen the night Allison died.
Allison had more drama, arguments and hookups in one night then most people have in their entire lifetime! My goodness!
