BURGER BOY COVER ruclips.net/user/shortsUKI2QMiPYUE LET’S GOOOO
There was a episode of Martha speaks where Mothra was with one of the dogs and they watched the show about a blue monkey and the dog want to be like the blue monkey it was a episode and I remember🤔🤔🤔 and I need to tell you have you seen that episode because I seen it when I was like younger
Disappointed this wasn't a full 3 hour video documentary about Martha speaks buth atleast we got these things now
That last one is an accident
The last one is Special Agent Oso. Such a weird show
How did you get those emote thingies? I’m on mobile and I don’t see it!!
When I was in Kindergarten, I had a hitting problem, and the episode in which Martha learned to tolerate the kitten made me decide to tolerate my annoying classmates instead of hitting them. Martha Speaks > American school system
Agree
most wholesome story ive read today
I thought you said you had a knitting problem and I was so confused
Well
Some people do deserve to be hit though
Where was that episode when I needed it.
Martha didn't time travel, she appealed to the narrator. She has 4th wall powers.
so she ate a wall?
SHE ATE DEADPOOL
No
She ate she hulk
She ate pinke pie
You forgot the episode where Martha gets into an argument with Helen's friend. Martha then angrily shouts at her about seeing life from a dog's perspective. Literally the next day the girl wakes up as a dog.
Martha can literally polymorph people!!!
"Magic"
So, does that mean she actually did cause the other dog to age just by telling him to grow up? Why do they keep feeding her this soup?
😊
Goddamn
That was her cousin
8:06 i need more athena singing the greek national anthem aggressively while non-rhythmically banging alphabet soup cans together and dancing while wearing pbs kids show martha speaks themed makeup.
I just want some forgein alphabet soup. (Yes, I know. It’s intentional.)
What song is that?
@@masterripper5409the Greek national anthem
I’m convinced that Martha can speak Morse code if she eats sound.
Isn't there like paper tape the machine prints onto? That could do it.
This comment made me laugh more than it should've......
What does she eat to learn sign language
@@IShy2 human hands
Don’t give her any ideas!
😅😅😅
Pet theory time! You already went over the fact that clearly it's not the soup that's special, it's Martha. And while we meet her mother in the thanksgiving (?) Special, we never see her dad. This brings me to my final point. In Wordgirl, we learn that apparently there are just intelligent monkeys on Lexicon. I ask you, if monkeys can evolve on two planets, why not dogs? What if THAT'S why Martha can gain speech from eating stuff with letters? What if her father was "from the planet Lexicon?"
PBS kids cinematic universe
OOOOHHH
@@badulgumm5458 If we're going that route, we need to get the Kratts in on this.
But Huggie can't talk... but then again, we never saw any Lexiconian (?) dogs
@@amandahealey2216 Did Huggy ever eat alphabet soup?
Considering Martha's the smartest one on the show, I'm pretty sure she didn't time travel but rather she is just aware of the fourth wall's existence and sped up the process. Therefore, I can conclude that she ate the Team Rocket trio to obtain this knowledge
They do have letters on them, fits with her powerset.
She will become a racecar with the r’s
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Hey, it's that person in the comment section of all the videos in the history video community.
I see u fucking everywhere!!!!
That is so nonesenseical, IT made sense
"The scientist acknowledges he's a cartoon and doesn't freak out about it"
Kind of reminds me of this Muppets stage show where Fonzie discovers he has people controlling him and has an absolute crisis over it but Kermit is totally cool with his puppeteers.
I need to know more...
Kermit glimpsed the strings of fate and honestly it was a huge relief for him
After watching this I’m convinced you should make a PBS kids tier list 😩
Still need around 48 more all time PBS kids classics
Yessss
yes. i need a tier list asapp
That’s on my list!! 👏👏
Krat bros are the best, and you can't change my mind.
Fun Fact! Daniel Ingram who does the music for My Little pony Friendship is Magic also does the music for Martha Speaks as well
there's alot of the same voice actors too, when she played the song i was like oh my god is that scootaloo from my little pony so i looked on the imdb and turns out like half the cast of this show is also in mlp, then i saw "music by daniel ingram" and my jaw actually dropped... so THAT'S why that slapped so hard
@@memethyst wait who is from mlp. Like what characters va's?
OMG THIS IS AMAZING 😭😭😭 no wonder the music is THAT GOOD
@@AthenaPOfficial mlps music is amazing tbh. It's one of the things that drew me into the show. I think my favorite song from the base show is flawless from season 7. My face from equestria girls is from the shorts with both schools.
Edit: Just looked it up. Its dance magic. Honestly literally every equestria girls song is a banger.
@@blazingsword2578 from the names i recognize on imdb: rarity, trixie, celestia, scootaloo, and applebloom. there could be more that i just dont recognize though...
Does anybody remember the episode where they put Martha on a diet? I remember they were basically body shaming her and Martha was hungry and sad the whole episode. Then at the end, the girl is like "Yay! You're belly isn't touching the floor anymore! Here's some food!" WAS I IMAGINING THIS??
I don't think i remember THAT one but I didn't watch the show as much as I did for other cartoons, so I wouldn't have a lot of memory of this show. You can go to someone who watched it all the time LOL I know about every kids cartoon from our era or close to it. but I mostly watched Nick Jr/Noggin, Sprout, and Qubo. I watched PBS kids but not enough of it to remember that episode (I remember a few different episodes of Martha Speaks very vaguely)
Yep, Martha was obese due to only eating alphabet soup and the family decided to put her on a diet for the sake of her health, and jokingly bodyshamed her throughout the episode. When she was got into her ideal weight, they allowed her to eat once more
It was called Too Much Martha and ...yeeaahhh... it wasn't great. I remember that I would avoid that episode like the plague when I was a kid because it seemed so needlessly cruel. Basically the message is that plus sized people should starve themselves until they get to an acceptable weight then they will have permission to eat because they "earned it" Which is a horrible message for anyone especially for a cartoon meant for preschoolers. Gotta start em early with the body dysmorphia I guess.
Side Note: Why did so many 90s/2000s children's cartoons feel the need to introduce children to diet culture? Arthur had a very similar episode where he was feverishly obsessing over his weight due to him needing to where "husky sized" pants. It's especially jarring in shows where the whole message is that people deserve respect no matter what they look like.
@@rowrysang4053 whether they were joking or not isn’t the point… it’s still wrong to do
@@notamberp I'm not saying it's the right thing to do. I'm just giving context
After this I want a Fetch with Ruff Ruffman lore video because OMG THE BACKSTORIES ARE HELLA DEEP
That show's a literal classic
I thought I was the only one who watched that show! I was a lonely kid….
That kinda came out of nowhere, didn't it?
YES
YESSS
Fun fact: in Polish version of this episode they switched the soup to a French one!
Edit; OMg mom I'm famous 1!1!1!!!
Wait...so French grandma?
what happend in the french version?
A French alphabet?
@@pxrasite7631 they probably just kept it polish
@@aidencalhoun4893 yeah
Edit: Wtf why is this so popular + new additions!
Martha was such a classic, funny how it's more known for a single lyric than the actual lore. Also since you have a recurring theme of lore based or not lore based kids shows, please go watch these;
-Cyberchase
-The Electric Company
-Arthur
-Odd Squad
-Wild Crats
-Peg+Cat
-Maya and Miguel
- Fetch with Riff Ruffman*
-Literally 80% of old Pbs kids shows
* one of the replies said this
I'm glad to see that the 2009 version of The Electric Company is getting some attention.
we need an Arthur video essay!
Cyberchase would be such a good video. Some WACKY shit goes down and imagine her Hacker discussion.
cyberchase was the SHIT
Reading between the lions
"this world doesn't just have spaghettios, it has assholios" fucking made me laugh so hard i had to reset my brain like windows 95 computer
OMG I HAD NO IDEA MARTHA SPOKE POLISH IN ONE EPISODE-
I loved Martha speaks as a kid, it actually helped me learn more English as a Polish kid living in America. I am so sad I never got to see the episode where she spoke Polish I would have been so happy to see that as a kid 😭
Edit: ok nevermind 💀 I finally found a clip of it and it’s really really bad-
They don’t pronounce anything correct and the “accent” is just 😭😭😭😭
Ikr, it somehow sounds like an american trying to act as a russian trying to speak polish
Watching this episode had me absolutely _cringing_ as a Polish kid. The accents... oh god the accents. OOF
I instantly tried to find the episode after hearing that because while I don't remember it per se, there is a vague memory of me watching that episode but I cannot for the life of you tell you what happened.
What I can say, finding the small clip I screamed. Nee.....yeah that is how you say nie, you say nee like a horse djsjdjsj
Yea her accent is strangely Ukrainian/Belarusian
Press F to pay respects to all the Polish people who saw the clips
It's been years since I last watched Martha, but I swear to god there was an episode where the scientist actially interacted with the characters in-show and not just as a cutaway
I think you’re right
Yea. It was something td related
Yes he’s a character within the show
Which episode? There’s an art teacher that looks like him but isn’t
Are you sure you're not talking about
Dog with a Blog ?
Bro 4 minutes in and I love this so much. "THAT'S NOT AN APOLOGY YOU BITCH!" Also on a completely unrelated note: OMG CHUCK THE EVIL SANDWICH MAKING GUY DOES THE VOICE OF HANDY MANNY'S WRENCH! IT'S LIKE THE SAME VOICE TOO! Also Tom Kenny, Dr. Two Brains obviously, is Mr Lopart. The fact we never got a WordGirl and Handy Manny crossover is *perplexing*
MY MIND
Maybe because Wordgirl is PBS and Handy Manny is Disney.
CHUCK THE EVIL SANDWICH MAKING GUY WAS THE VOICE OF HANDY MANNY'S WRENCH????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? HOLY SHIT
@@MissEarthling O N L Y A M A T T E R O F T I M E
AAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGHHH
“Unlike Wordgirl, Martha is an open book based on an open book.” That got me. 😂
This show slapped so hard growing up. Honestly PBS had some great stuff and I’m here for these kids tv show deep dives.
Also the MLP Friendship is Magic soundtrack goes hard.
Yeah. PBS kids used to have so much effort in their shows idk what happened.
@@jocelynecupcakedid PBS dip in quality? I haven't kept up on my PBS lore
Agreed on both.
One of my other favorite facts about this show is that the voice actress for Martha, Tabitha St. Germain, is also the VA for Rarity in MLP: FiM!
My childhood self was ecstatic when I found this out
Yup. Martha = Tabitha St. Germain = Rarity/Luna
Also: Helen = Madeleine Peters = Scootaloo
And in Googling to remind myself the exact name of Scootaloo's VA, I found that Germain voiced her in the _previous_ generation of Pony as well.
My new nickname for this show is Scootaloo Speaks.
@@normanclatcher Helen was Scootaloo??? That’s cool
She's got a range I'll give her that doesn't even sound a hint like Rarity
Don't forget RingRing from Pucca
Big Minnie unlocked childhood memories, man. I 100% remember watching Martha Speaks as a kid, but Big Minnie…
I'm Polish on my dad's side and it's understandable why they wanted Martha to learn Polish...it's like the Polish and Welsh languages were invented by simply someone smashing their keyboard.
Also, I love the Greek anthem, one of my favorite anthems. Not just because of the unique fact that it's the anthem of two countries but also the fact it's the longest national anthem by length of text, that it's so patriotically long that they decided to only adopt the first two stanzas.
Athena: Listen to this song. I'm sorry, you got to listen to this song
Me: Belgium?
"Here comes Carl with the meat..."
Me: Oh...
THE BELGIUM SONG ROCKS!! 😭
I was thinking the western milkshake song-
@@AthenaPOfficialTAKE OFF OUR SHOES AND OUR SOCKS CAUSE YKNOW THAT BELGIUM ROCKS 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
🎵If you want to have fun with me Belgium is where I’ll be🎵
I love how PBS kids sneak life lessons/learning lessons into their shows. I think PBS kids taught me more than school ever did.
As a huge fan of Heathers and someone who’s whole childhood was Martha speaks I found the fact that you called Helen’s friend “JD” hilarious
Same here. You and I are the same
This is so real
I know I was literally like "I'm sorry, who 🧐" (side note, jumpscaring my friends at the fair tomorrow in my JD closet cos minus the jacket and shit because I am not getting heatstroke 💀)
BRO HOW DID I KNOW A COMMENT LIKE THIS WOULD BE HERE HSHSHSJKDSHJHJHED
@@imintoomanyfandoms HEATHERS FANS ARE EVERYWHERE YOU CANNOT ESCAPE US!!!!!
I'm from Poland and as a kid I loved this cartoon, and only now did I discover that Martha got a polish soup in the original (in the version I watched this in it was french) and I just had to watch the english version of the episode and boy oh boy, does this not sound like polish at all lol
Don't really blame them though polish is hard af
I absolutely love TD and the idea of him being the goofy fourth-wall breaking scientist narrator makes him even better.
I remember this show I loved it so much literally just because there was a dog in it! Another interesting thing in the show was the Thanksgiving special where Martha has a whole dog family reunion (she has like 6 siblings apparently) and has a complete backstory of how she ended up in the pound later to be adopted which I thought was cool :0
I remember that episode! There was a book version of it too
Remember the episode where the two villains where one was a ginger froze a crowd with music and a song was what unfrozen them?
@@blazingsword2578 I think I remember that one too
@@rileyywhited I was honestly wondering if she was gonna bring up the opposite speaking episode bc it's also a episode I remember vividly from years ago
You just brought up a deeply buried childhood memory (this show was my whole childhood)
I'm gonna be surprised If I see a "Dinosaur Train" lore vid from you one day....
Anyway, good vid!!
Also remembered this: After Skits wasn't able to speak from the alphabet soup, there was an argument from a later episode of TD & Alice talking about that. They also discussed how Skits is taller than Martha despite being much younger than her.
YES YES DINOSAUR TRAIN HAS LIKE... ao much lore (the worldbuilding!)
I would love a video about that hehe
I want someone to comment on how weird it is for Mrs. Pteranodon to take newborn babies on vacation the minute they're hatched
@@guy-sl3kr stop looking at the theme song only XD
eh the lore wasn't that crazy but numberjacks was crazy with lore
BRO I FORGOT ABOUT DINOSAUR TRAIN
AHHHHH IT'S ALL COMING BACK
I remember a weird episode where one of marthas human friends turned into a dog, a black border Collie to be exact, and the human Collie was put in a Shelter, and Martha tried to explain that It was one of the humans but they didnt belive her bc you know thats insane, and they were about to put down the human Collie until Martha was able to convince the human Collie's dad by mentioning they had the same color eyes. Idk if this was a Mandela efect or if anyone else just has a really prominent memorry in the back of their mind bc that episode was trauma
Might have been a dream? An episode like that seems out of character for the show, in my opinion.
I'm pretty sure that was a dream! I think it was specifically Carolina's dream.
@@maximumkhaos2479 it was both a part of the show and a dream lol. In the Martha speak canon it never actually happened and was just a dream that Carolina had, but it was an episode on the show. Carolina dreamt that she turned into a dog and nobody believed it was her
I love that Martha is the only character that immediately comes to mind who is situationally Harkness Compliant and can actually lose that status just by fasting. How awkward.
Also, I have a picture of Rarity from My Little Pony signed by Tabitha St. Germaine, saying we'll meet again in another show. A friend got it for me and told her I loved her in MLP, Littlest Pet Shop, and Martha Speaks, and I just couldn't be there to meet her and get an autograph in person.
i loved martha speaks when i was little, im so glad youre covering this! the scientist dude having lore is wild tho
You're not alone about listening to music from kids' shows as a grown adult. 'A girl like you' from Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper is great
7:55 In polish version they replace the soup with French alphabet. Sasha is also more of a Russian name.
Woolseyism is a weird trope, am I right???
@@jellymcmichaels4240 ?
are we just going to ignore how martha's brain is exposed through her sinuses
If you want a show like Martha speaks and wordgirl watch the electric company its so good
That was the shit when I was like…6? 4? Idk- when I was a kid.
@@Atari_01 The Electric Company and Fetch ! with Ruff Ruffman were supposed to get one more season but both were scrapped for unknown reasons.
I used to be watching The Electric Company like Arthur, Cyberchase, Martha Speaks, WordGirl, Fetch, and Between the Lions on PBS Kids Go after school I almost forgot about that show not gonna lie lol. 😂
oooh yes i love the electric company. i kept expecting them to cameo or crossover on odd squad at some point. both shows have a group of kids solving odd problems often caused by villains.
I never watched or seen the new Electric Company I do remember seeing commercials for it on Cable, PBS Kids, KCET and KLCS lol. But I like how satirical and Family Guy or King of the Hill styled WordGirl, Martha Speaks and Curious George were at times. Martha Speaks and George was honestly calm noise for preschool and toddler aimed shows lol.
Some of the Sofia the First songs go SO HARD I can’t even. If you haven’t watched that show Athena, you definitely should. It’s a trip and I think you would have a lot of fun. Love your videos!❤
"I'm going to be a burglar and steal Martha away because she already deserves better." Love this! I would, too.
My all time favorite episode of the entire show was the episode where they retell greek myths and the way TD got SO fed up when the myths ended with forever is my favorite
Martha just being able to request various reality-breaking things from the narrator reminds me of how in The Simpsons you have Ned Flanders who is just buddy-buddy with God and so sometimes just gets help from Him when he asks.
I LOVE THE "this world doesnt just have spaghettio's it has assholieo's" its way to funny for this video!! 6:53
9:45 oh my god the mlp:fim soundtrack is literally so good. As someone who grew up watching that show and still loves it with all their heart, you are absolutely correct in this opinion. Very few songs from that show, its movies, and the eqg series flop
and a lot of the songs that do flop, were made to be flops in the first place ;w;
YES
Hell yes, it is!!! 🎉😎
5:34
It actually stands for Jason Dean, JD for short 😎
YESSS FELLOW HEATHERS FAN! 😀
Omg the part where you broke out dancing just SENT ME TO THE MOON!!🤣🤣🤣 that was the last straw to send me laughing!! But you went hard on this analysis, also I am glad that I am not the only one to be upset from the first episode because GOD KNOWS THE FACT THAT MOST OF THE FAMILY DIDN'T APOLOGIZE AND I STILL HATE THEM FOR THAT!😫😠
Great work as always Athena ☺✨🌹🌹🌹
THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!! Your comments are the sweetest and it means so much that I can entertain you
@@AthenaPOfficial and it means so much to me that my comments are able to make you see for the underrated queen that you are 😖😆 also idk why but I have been replaying you jamming to the song what have you done!?🤣🤣🤣
I lost it at the Greek alphabet thing
@@Xeorboom for me that was the calm before the storm for me 🤣🤣🤣 I was surprised when she actually spoke greek
Martha literally had the dream
She knows of it
But Helen doesn't
Martha's still grasping that it was just a dream
When you said Big Minnie, real fear was struck in me and I remembered a suppressed memory of when I first saw that episode and for some reason thought it was a large Minnie Mouse silhouette and was afraid that it lived in my closet from ages 4-8 (when we moved)
Also I VIVIDLY remember the Greek mythology episode
You're definitely not alone in the category of adults who love kids show music. In particular, I'm a big fan of Sharon Lois & Bram's Elephant Show. I can probably trace my modern eclectic music tastes straight to watching that as a toddler.
I love a true true friend from MLP and brand new sound from Barbie rock and royals
I have a suggestion, can you tackle VeggieTales lore? There's actually a lot to look at. For example, Oscar the Polish Caterer from the silly song featured in "The Little Drummer Boy" is the same Oscar from Larry's monologue in the silly song "I Love My Lips."
Isn't that the same Ocsar the Polish Caterer who is featured in the VeggieTales Christmas CD's parody of the 12 days of Christmas? Oscar, having showed up late to the Christmas party, sings about all the kinds of Polish Christmas dishes he brought.
@@christiannanemec234 Yes, that's the one I'm talking about. The animated version of the song was featured in "The Little Drummer Boy" as it's silly song segment.
@@sapphanimates Neat. You learn something new every day.
Dude yes!!!
I was just rewatching the Word Girl video and I saw this came out right after I finished. I am blessed.
Martha can even eat code. There's an episode that TD makes a special code and Martha ends up speaking code and the rest of the show was the kids trying to decipher Martha's code.
As a kid I grew up with PBS Kids as my main form of cartoons. So now I'm really hoping that you're going to review more of them
And through the entirety of this video, you never mentioned my favorite Martha Speaks episode. Myth Me? and TD's Myth Take. They talk about Greek myths and they even imagine a world where Medusa, the lady that is so ugly that anyone who sees her face will be turned to stone, and King Midas, the guy cursed to turn everything and everyone he touches into gold, are in love. It is just a hilarious concept and I want three seasons and a movie please and thank you.
Wasn't there also an episode of the show where a bunch of the characters put on a Shakespeare play?
This is gonna sound silly but im polish and raised on martha speaks and somehow the fact that martha learns specifically polish in that one episode made me really happy :)
That reminds me of how I love the miraculous New York special as an American for some reason
Martha Speaks was truly one of the shows ever. But I didn't know that the show's lore was this dark
16:01 oh, man I needed that. Who knows how long I’ve been deprecating my sanity level without hearing such an iconic phrase?
The point you made at 0:50 is the reason why I will never understand how the people at WGBH thought this was a good idea to adapt this into a show.
I really appreciate the topics and how you cite your episodes/sources! I watch old kids shows to help me sleep on rougher nights, just finished "my life as a teenage robot" (the visuals are awesome!) and honestly I'm on dragon tales rn and the music is absolutely bopping. Also there's an episode of Peppa pig where she and her brother chase their parents holding a happy little spider and it is an absolutely hilarious clip that anyone who watches little ones can relate to lol
Dragon tales is one of the best.
I think I heard the spider episode of Peppa Pig was banned in Australia because Australia has so many poisonous spiders.
@@Angela.Perkins Understandably so! I told my little cousins (even as a kid myself lol) never to move any unknown critter with their bare hands and to always get someone older to help. I'm from Florida and while I don't think we have as many dangerous spiders, we still have our black widows and brown recluses, who try to come in during the wet season, so I was surprised that the "grown ups" let the episode be made at all. That said I've definitely carried some poor crickets and worms towards phobic family members lol. None were harmed but it definitely comes as a memory anytime I think about that episode, and I never shall torture the little bugs that way again lol. Thanks for the fun fact!
I have a friend who's obsessed with Dragon tales. My favorite songs in a kids show is probably Maggie and the ferocious beast
TD was the best part of the show. I remember in one episode he put a trophy he got with Alice in the junkyard, and when it went missing the blamed himself. Not because he thought it was his fault, but because he thought he STOLE it, from himself....
The episode that freaked me out the most when I was a kid was the campfire one where they were telling scary stories. From the plant thing coming to life to the humanoid cats disguised as humans to the aliens, I was terrified
This show was my childhood!! So much so, I had made my own theory of how Martha's body had the ability to process the alphabet soup to her brain, because of it being in her dna or something. And how it could affect her siblings and mom if it were the case. Cause she could've gotten it from her mom or dad (despite him never being mentioned), how only one person, looking in the soup itself, never thought to look in her dna (from what I remember), and explaining how a dog not related to Martha, not being able to speak when also having the soup.
I had a similar theory. The thing is, no earth animal can do what Martha does. No EARTH animal. If you've seen Athena's video on Wordgirl, you know that apparently monkeys also evolved on Lexicon. If monkeys can exist on two planets, why not dogs?
I think I know where Martha's father came from.
I still very much recommend octonauts for one of these, mostly because of the vegemails and also the fact all three main characters are animals that eat fish but are characters that don't. also I think they play instruments, atleast one does? I don't know, it probably wont happen but ill sudgest it
Yea do it pls that would be cool
Also one of them is a reformed criminal who used to be a pirate
Peso’s (The medic) the one who plays the xylophone
Also I am 19 and it’s still one of my favorite shows to watch in my free time
it’s spelled ‘suggest’ btw, just so you know :)
14:35
My thoughts on the computer episode were always that Martha probably did fall asleep on the keyboard and was looking at some meat or something and spam ordered steaks while she slept, like face on the enter key or something, but that was just my head cannon
"Must be one of those new things like rap music" *Eminem's been real quiet since Mrs. Demson dropped this diss track*
Would love to see you react to our famous cartoon series Squirrel & Hedgehog, comrade
I loved Martha Speaks so much as a kid. I just saw it as this hilarious and insane entertaining type of mess and I ate up every second of it
I thought the same thing watching her video on Super Why
AAAAAAA i only watched the polish dub of Martha speaks as a child and in that version from what I remembered she instead started speaking french (?). And when watching that episode in english I got whiplash omg
Other weird things:
- Martha talking to bird talking to a giraffe talking to a monkey to understand said monkey
-monkey scientist loving Martha and appreciating her more than Helen
- 🎶 CAROLINA BE MY VALENTINAAAA NOTHING WOULD MEAN MORE TO MEEE 🎶
- Nelson apparently being a spy with gadgets
- Martha being able to speak in code after eating TD’s code translation paper AND BEING ABLE TO SPEAK IN TD CODE THAT WAS NOT ON THE PAPER AND THAT TD HIMSELF CANT INTERPRET. AND SHE UNDERSTANDS THESE MEMORIES RHAT TD NEVER SHARED BEFORE.
- The janitor not liking dogs in the school not bc they’re dirty but because they’ll get too smart and soon humans will be cleaning after them
- Martha speaking Spanish after eating Helen’s uncle’s soup NOT ALPHABET SOUP JUST SOUP
- Ronald booing his own parents play (not unexpected but just dude what 💀)
8:30 what’s funny is that the only thing that keeps dogs from talking is that they can’t understand the language they actually have the vocals for it that’s why sometimes you’ll hear dogs making sounds that sound like human voices meaning that Martha was just able to speak, but didn’t decide to until she ate them SpaghettiOs
I was such a big fan of this show when I was younger that my dog’s middle name is Martha. This should be an interesting watch.
0:29 Thats actually awesome
10:57 Sounds like a message from a totalitarian soup regime.
My younger sister LOVED this show, I constantly get the theme song stuck in my head 😅 You’re video is hilarious, as usual 💞
I’m Greek and you have no idea how excited I got when you started singing the greek national anthem-
I'm actually Greek too!
That's because she has Greek heritage. Her last name is a Greek surname, as revealed in a video of hers. Forgot which one tho, but it was a video essay type.
@@nevaehhamilton3493 yeah I realized that a little while ago xD
9:44 Yes! This Day Aria and Open Up Your Eyes are bangers villain songs.
Also, for kids shows with fantastic music, I recommend Phineas and Ferb. And Adventure Time. And Littlest Pet Shop has some bops as well.
7:34 Ha! I actually learned about Pavlov's dog experiments in psychology recently!
TD was so cute and sweet. He's my favorite character besides Martha.
I remember playing and adoring the pbs kids games on my computer when I was a kid, I still vividly remember spreading sauce on a pizza
i don't understand why this kind of content is so entertaining, but i do understand that it's made even better by your sense of humor, i absolutely love the abundance of personality in every one of your videos.
9:43 MLP music SLAPS. Even from like a "musician's" standpoint. Those harmonies KILL.
12:10 Was. Was that Chloe's disgusted audio from Bratz?
Yes, yes it is
I thought Martha was a boy because of how androgynous she looks and sounds. It would be cool to see you do a video on the Big Time Rush show. The way the show characterizes the main boys is interesting. James (the character) is usually very arrogant but his personality changes a ton when he’s stressed or things don’t go the way he wants. Also, it seems like Carlos is very unlucky in the show.
Trans Martha ❤️.
@@eve123princess9 Trans woman or Trans man?
@@mintythedemon1785 Trans man. Idk doesn’t matter to me that’s my new headcanon tho. ❤️
@@eve123princess9 His name would be Martin.
Huh, so I wasn't the only one who was kid of originally a bit confused on Martha's gender at first until my teacher told me on how Martha was exclusively a female name in English.
This part right here where she says that’s not an apology bitch it makes me laugh every time 3:17
So what I'm gathering is, Martha could literally revive dead languages that are only known via writing, such as Ancient Egyptian, which can't be properly transliterated since there's no vowels; Harappan, the fully untranslated language of the Mohenjo Daro; and Linear A, the written language of the Minoans. Her and her family could've made bank off of that.
I was obsessed with this show as a kid and I have a bunch of random memories and weird associations to things because of it
Loved this show. Taught me how to sound smarter
literally as SOON as you mentioned being grown and still loving kids show music, the FIRST thing i thought of was mlp music. The Goof-Off Master, What My Cutie Mark is Telling Me, A True True Friend all permanently changed my brain chemistry and i still listen to them to this day, among so many others. you are so valid
Yes I love those
Edit: 0:42
BRO THAT PLATE IS MY CHILDHOOD AND SO IS MARTHA OH MY LORD MY PARENTS BROKE ALL THE MATCHING CUPS TO THAT PLATE AND I STILL HAVE A SAUCER
You might want to test if that saucer has lead paint on it. Athena posted a short a while ago saying that a commenter noticed that a plate with the same flower pattern was on a lead paint awareness post.
Old kids show: *exits*
Athena: L O R E!! 👀👀
Also, I feel like Film Theory should make a video of the whole science of Martha's speaking abilities and whether or not it's possible. Athena deserves an A+ for the video essay as for her creative writing.
Martha taking attendance has lived rent-free in my brain for the past 10 years or so.

"PRESENT!!"
"If you're absent, say 'absent.'"

@@golden_g8_bridge Exactly. That one clip.
9:21 Damn Martha lore and cakes. This video has it all.
Man, I loved this show as a kid. Most kids got into mythology from Percy Jackson, no, for me that one mythology-centered Martha Speaks episode fueled the obsession I can still remember every scene despite not having watched it in over a decade.
This is an amazing review. I really appreciate the energy and high level of detail! I would love to see more PBS KIDS lore vids if you're willing to binge more!
At least finally Martha Speaks is getting attention
I KNOW YOU!!!!😱😱😱😱😱😮😮😮😮😮😮🤐🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😀😀☺☺🤗
I waching u ryght nouu
Fun fact: There’s an old Norse legend called a hamrammr, a shapeshifting berserker or werewolf that can transform into any animal it has eaten.
Daniel Ingram made the music to Martha Speaks. He also did the music for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. That’s probably why the music on both shows is good.
Man, I remember watching Martha Speaks quite a bit, but I had no idea about all the “new talking ability” episodes! Also, you’re very entertaining. Keep up the good work.
Not exactly the same but the recent season of Dogs in Space had one of the main dogs discussing how their owner was cruel and they were happy to be away from them because they'd put them through extensive Pavlovian conditioning
8:38 i'm polish. sasha is not a polish name. i am insulted. i actually liked this show as a kid.
I think it was supposed to show how stupid the villains are but it’s still uhhhh not the move on the writers part 😅
bro friendship is magic music definitely slaps PLEASE jam to it unashamedly also i love ur commitment to the bit, like getting the soups and the title card and the themed make up every TIME..thank u
5:06 why did this masterpiece, flow out of my mouth after you said that.
“my dog ate my glock, not clickbait! 3 am Challenge gone wrong!? (He turned into a Machine gun!)”
