I did a sharp closed mouth inhale which caused my fun smoke to get caught in my throat, but even when I was dyyyyyyinnnga, as the video launched and I read it was 2 hrs. All the tears, free running snot, and ripped to shreds esophagus could keep my elation at bay.
The fact the unmedicated cousin charlie fake out plot happens in just four episodes is absolutely bonkers. I could've sworn it was a half-season plot at least
That line took me out too! And all I could think about was Mic’s comment from the Devil Wears Prada video, “boy know fashion lady? Only girl can know fashion!”
The Dan and Blair slow burn was so good honestly! The bickering road trip team up, Dan saying "you're an evil dictator of taste", the internship rivalry, the Rosemary's Baby watch party over the phone, the finding excuses to stage kisses together for schemes, etc it's just some of my very favorite moments of GG. It's tragic that the writers gave up on it in favor of Yuck Bass!
The way people hype them up and the edits looked great I thought they would be the IT ship but they were the most driest, out of the pocket ship with no chemistry. I wasn't rooting for any of the ships but GOD were these 2 awful to watch. It feels like people are just hyping it up because it's the opposite of Chuck
@@sara1coco just say you don't get it and leave it that. Everybody isn't lying when we talk about how much we love their chemistry and dynamic. I say this as someone who used to ship Chair before they turned toxic
@@Chibbykins The people I have talked to usually bring Chair up in the same breath they talk about Dair so most ppl do just like them bc it's the opposite. I am not fond of either but the way ppl over-hype Dair (which is toxic too) is wild. It as if ppl have forgotten what real chemistry is and it reflects why ships these days have no tension and impact. Like it's so dry and felt as if they had no ideas left but ppl glorify it bc it's "healthy" and interpret more into it than we ever saw on screen in the 5 eps they lasted.
No like Blair and Dan really had a level of connection and chemistry that literally could not be matched, and it was so unexpected too! Truly ahead of its time tbh
they were the only pair that really understood each other!! like penn badgley has said, unfortunately blair was the love of dan's life but somehow he wasn't hers :(
Oh come on they liked the same book and movies for heaven's sake like the way people hyped them up I thought they would be the best couple I've ever seen bit literally 0 chemistry, dry and random as if they just threw anything together.
They were so bad as a couple like 0 chemistry yet people glorify them because they liked the same books AND movies. Literally disappointed me when I watch the show.
@@sara1coco completely disagree, I think the actors had a lot of chemistry, honestly more than a lot of couples in the show. However, the writing handling their relationship was truly horrific, I think the audience rooting for them as a couple ultimately makes sense though
Describing Nate and Juliet's schemes as Jobless Meddling is wonderful and also a great description of all of these characters. Just joblessly meddling in everyone's business constantly.
The writers making all the “poor” people villains will never sit right with me.. making the fandom genuinely hate Dan and Jenny more than Chuck (a literal r*pist)
THIS. IS. IT. Audience was always pushed to hate on Jenny, Vanessa, Dan because the writers kept telling the same story of how hanging out with the wealthy corrupted them. I get all that & yes it happened but these Upper East Siders always seem to be portrayed as victims or “heroes” in the end. I still imagine an alternate reality where Jenny & Vanessa & Dan actually pursue their talents. Blair could never match Jenny’s talent in design, which explains why she always saw Jenny as a threat. Her being a “dictator of taste” is a consolation prize. Vanessa at the beginning was too good for any of these boys including Dan. I want her to be making a documentary about the 1% (like the Johnson &Johnson scion in real life). There is a huge audience. Dan… well I guess he did get published in the end & earned their “respect”.
Pretty sure that's because they were having beef with the actor of jenny because apparently she had a horrendous attitude so it was kinda a "payback" before taking her off the show (at least from what the director said so not sure if she actually had attitude or he just didn't like her)
dan and blair have such good chemistry. i like how they challenge each other. plus, both he and blair are hardworking and are able to match each other intellectually. i always found them more compelling than any other couple on the show. like we never see chuck express the same interests in films etc. that dan and blair bond over. maybe it’s just because of the sheer juxtaposition of the insanity that chair was vs. dan and blair doing normal things
i am also confused about what chuck really knows about blair? because all they do together is sex, scheme and break up. i thought it was so funny how dan read out chuck about not really knowing who she was beyond that.
@@DaytimeSlaytime-eq2nf idk why u ask me? i am not a fan of either ships but from what i rmbr Chuck/Blair grew up together and had common interest in power.
@@sara1cocolmao they were just asking a rhetorical question that went along with your reply and the points you made…like they said, they didn’t even @ you 😂 rude for absolutely zero reason (Idk after seeing all of your replies on every Blair/dan comment, I get the feeling you’re very young so I’m sorry for laughing at you for your misunderstanding and being snarky to you. You probably didn’t even mean it rudely)
A Mikes’c Mic recap of Monte Carlo could change the political landscape - imagine our Michelangelo reframing the movie as ‘the one with Blair, Juliet, Selena Gomez, Finn Hudson, a hot Australian guy, and a hot French guy’, biting my nails for the ultimate MMCU crossover
i audibly screamed out loud seeing this on my TL this glorious saturday afternoon (in FL). it took the length of an entire pregnancy but we absolutely appreciate the dedication to the craft!
The spiritual relief I felt solely due to you also being a Dan+Blair enjoyer because in the sea of illogical characters and relationships they were the most normal and healthy pairing for a while
Ik that gossip girl never was exactly... a pro-proleteriat show, but the amount of straight up classicism and retconning lower class characters as unforgivable villains while our rich protagists gets to act crazier and crazier and be forgiven by the narrative for it is literally insane. I never thought ... that somehow... Gossip Girl would be the better reflection of class warfare in all human history but here we are gerkjgekrng
Crazy thing is, GG actually seems to be aware of this??? That conversation where Vanessa tells Juliette that the main group will always defend and make excuses for each other, but will rip apart anyone else - the narrative seems aware that the rich characters will never be demonised the way the other characters are. You could almost argue that it's a meta commentary on the reality of capitalism but I don't know how much credit I should give the GG writers lmao
@@makstracyYES! Every time the rich kids join forces against the poor villain I get kind of sad. That scene where they gang up on Juliette always leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Like, yeah, she absolutely awful and deserves to be held accountable but also all of these kids have done twisted stuff and constantly get away with it. And Serena’s family really did destroy Ben and Juliette’s family.
I think gossip girl was originally meant to be a sort of dark satire about the upper class, you can tell from season 1, especially the first half, that the rich were portrayed as strange, cruel, and almost inhuman. But then writers strike, new director, and here we are
I am autistic and gossip girl is my special interest . I have been waiting so long for this video !!! Thank you so much. I am always talking about gossip girl but most people are not as into it as me . watching your videos makes me feel like I finally have a friend to talk about the show with. Love your content
So Chuck gets shot in Prague... and then a body with his ID gets washed up in Paris... the geography just isn't adding up. I could even excuse Hamburg since that's where the water from Moldau eventually ends up, but Paris is completely off. Also the shot of Chuck getting mugged in Prague is just so funny to me. Like the only place that would have that kind of medieval grate is some kind of tourist trap bar with overpriced drinks.
I am still obsessed with Dair since I watched the show for the first time in 2014 just because of the setup this season. When the recaps where first released I watched everything again and the relationship is not that good, but what they built in season 4 will always make me think about what could have been. And in another note: I forgive anything Jenny did, she was the only one in this series who behaved like a dazzled teenager and no one helped her!!! I love her.
The power. The charisma. The influence, to make me sit here and watch a multiple hour long video about a series I have never seen, and will never see. Truly iconic
For some reason it never occurred to me that people would watch these if they haven’t seen the show 😂 I love that you’re doing that though. Just adds to the unhingery going on
@@hylas516 haha I personally watch these detailed recap videos for shows I’ve never watched as a way to “watch” them MORE entertainingly…like Bachelor Fantake, or Aaron & Jo doing Love is Blind recaps 😂 I don’t have time for the actual shows (I have watched GG however when I was a teen lol)
@hylas516 I missed out on a lot of these shows when they were more culturally relevant, but even then my interests have always been more on the Lost side of things, you could say xD But Mike is just incredibly engaging and good at what he does
They fit so well together, but then the writers wanted the main couples together, so they were not allowed to be together. My heart will always yearn for Dan and Blair to have fallen in love later in life.
serena dating two teachers this season when she was constantly having to defend herself that she didn’t sleep with them just to sleep with them also she was groomed so much in this show and no one gave a fuck
Omg does this mean there'll be a Mike's mic movie recap of Monte Carlo!?!? I love that movie sooo much. Such a comfort movie. And he also mentions Leap year! Another fav. I hope he recaps more rom coms like these ones soon
Hit movie Monte Carlo (2011) starring Selena Gomez is my favorite movie ever. I've seen it at least 10 times, and force everyone I can to watch it. Every single person I make watch it loves it.
As a Dair ride or die, this gave me life! Dreading you turning on them season 5, because to me theyre endgame and everything, but regardless I know I will be seated and enjoing it!
This is the first piece of media I have actively waited to see dropped. It healed my skin and made me go for a big walk first thing in the morning. You are a SAINT.
the ridiculousness of gossip girl is so unmatched i’ve seen this show to completion abt 3 times i’ve watched your recaps and still every single plot line absolutely shocks me to my core like WHAT WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT HAPPENS?
We know Vanessa's story! Her parents are hippie artists who live on a commune in Vermont. Vanessa wants to become a filmmaker and frolic in the city, so she moves to Brooklyn to live with her sister. In the show she's homeschooled so her location in flexible. In the books she's on scholarship at Constance.
Here at 15 seconds after uploading. The way I drop everything to watch Mike recap a show I've never watched rather than live my life. And I wouldn't have it any other way 🙂↕️
I loved having the magazines on screen with the episodes I was able to appreciate them so much more!! Also I love this hair on you, and this entire video was incredible I can’t wait to rewatch it soon
i would say that the presence of Lilly’s ankle monitor in season 4 exudes the same energy as WVDW’s general presence in the plot throughout the entirety of season 3
It makes me hysterical every time Mike does a verbal (or sometimes, literal) side-eye while saying how Dan “JUST now learned” information from a GG post *in real time along with everyone else* 😭💀
I JUST got home from a fuuuull day of activities, and felt almost ✨ divinely✨ called to start up RUclips and Signore Microphoné never apologize for the time it takes to make these your timing is impeccable 😭😭
I love how the cast of the MMCU is rapidly just becoming every somewhat famous celebrity. I can't wait 'till it's 2026 and we're learning about the links between Angelica's voice actor and Lost in the unhinged recap of Rugrats season 3.
I have never disagreed with you, but for some reason I love Eva. I literally applauded as she walked out on him. Literally the only redeemable character on this godforsaken show.
i had to cook sooo much today so i watched this recap then rewatched all the other GG recaps and then watched this one again. ty for keeping me company!! i was so entertained the whole time
You get through!!!! One day at a time, and feel all of your feelings fully ❤❤ But block his number 😅😅 or only have emotional convos with them in person or on the phone and not via text so that you cannot re-read and obsess over them later!! Wishing you the best !!
Same boat. Thank-you for putting it in these words. I love him but i broke up with him last week. I've felt massive anxiety. I needed this video for endorphins and to distract me from even possibly unblocking.
1:16:12 OMG this past week i was trying to remember the name of that song cause i used to love it and resigned myself into thinking i'd never find it! Your video was a godsend😂
as an empath knowing the struggle you were about to go through at said Paris station and the once in a lifetime never before seen flu you were struck with makes this an extra emotional watch xoxo thank you mmcu
the entire mike's mic audience gasps in shock and awe every time a new appropriately unhinged recap is set free for our viewing pleasure
I'm not going to lie, I DID gasp in shock AND in awe
Literally me
And it rlly is FREE too - GG owes all their success to him

Lily and Chuck being weirdly the most functional parent child relationship in this whole series...
I hate that she allows his abhorrent behaviour
She isn’t as invested with him. Her not giving a shit about him makers her parent better 😂

What's wrong with Rufus and Dan?
@@tansytansy well it would be fucking weird to be strict with other people's kids
"Those are Marc Jacobs and they're mustard" is possibly one of the most iconic things Dan has ever said
That line took me out too! And all I could think about was Mic’s comment from the Devil Wears Prada video, “boy know fashion lady? Only girl can know fashion!”
Mike flying to Paris solely for the purpose of filming the first two episodes...the dedication to slaying never ceases to amaze me.

Mike being a dair shipper is what I deserveeeeee !!! I'm living
Here at 15 seconds after uploading. The way I drop everything to watch Mike recap a show I've never watched rather than live my life. And I wouldn't have it any other way 🙂↕️
5:08 the way Blair wore the same dress as Beyoncé for 4 the album DELUXE... iconic if you ask me
mike you are actually my favorite reference like imagine how many people go “i know you wanna kith me” with an australian accent now
The gasp I gasped when I realised Mike was in Paris while recapping the Paris eps. True cinema !!
the conflict of wanting to watch this immediatley vs the desire to savour it after waiting for so long (i'm halfway through already)
Just watch it 25 times in one week like I have
gossip girl is all about watching it in 2010 at age 14 and loving chuck then rewatching it in your mid to late 20s and wanting to throw up
the chuck bass princess fiona outfit had me on the floor omgg
I loved having the magazines on screen with the episodes I was able to appreciate them so much more!! Also I love this hair on you, and this entire video was incredible I can’t wait to rewatch it soon
i would say that the presence of Lilly’s ankle monitor in season 4 exudes the same energy as WVDW’s general presence in the plot throughout the entirety of season 3
It makes me hysterical every time Mike does a verbal (or sometimes, literal) side-eye while saying how Dan “JUST now learned” information from a GG post *in real time along with everyone else* 😭💀
I JUST got home from a fuuuull day of activities, and felt almost ✨ divinely✨ called to start up RUclips and Signore Microphoné never apologize for the time it takes to make these your timing is impeccable 😭😭
and when the world needed him most… he RETURNED
how did you know I had an intercostal muscle tear and needed entertainment? THANK you mike you are actively taking care of my mental health.
loving that this video looks like sort of an extended photoshoot just for you. very photogenic, very demure, very big fan
the budget was BUDGETING this episode. I fully gasped at the Paris reveal
i’ve watched this show all the way thru like 4 times, yet I’m still somehow amazed at the ridiculousness of the plot lines
The loss of Jenny is a tragedy. The loss of Vanessa was 3 seasons too late.
I love how the cast of the MMCU is rapidly just becoming every somewhat famous celebrity.
I can't wait 'till it's 2026 and we're learning about the links between Angelica's voice actor and Lost in the unhinged recap of Rugrats season 3.
Not you scheduling this release on the day after I passed the bar exam when I’m finally able to enjoy things again 🥺
I needed this.
Congrats!! That is an amazing achievement, good luck in your journey forward!
🎉 Congratulations!!!!
OH THIS IS SOOO GOOD im obsessed with the magazine cover references
HE ACTUALLY WENT TO PARIS??!! Absolutely iconic the other girlies COULD NEVER
“the milo-down, if you will” IS TOO GOOOOODDD MR MICROPHONE
imagine finishing s3 of the gossip girl recaps and refreshing home page to find this
I have never disagreed with you, but for some reason I love Eva. I literally applauded as she walked out on him. Literally the only redeemable character on this godforsaken show.
2:13 Poverty Loft is back besties and i'm here for all of it
mister Mikerophone, thank you, this dropped while I was at a karaoke bar and now that I am home at 4 am I cannot wait to watch this in its entirety
thanks queen, pregnant currently and crying all day can pause for the first ounce of serotonin today.
the shirt is so accurate actually, like i quote you all the time
ABSOLUTELY READY FOR THIS.
Season 5 and 6 cant come soon enough. I'm itching to see you sort through the mess that is those last seasons
the visuals of this video are EXCELLENT
“Her life as Eva” LMAOOOOO
the slow turnaround in the chair with the shirt and the flip phone snap... okay icon !!
i had to cook sooo much today so i watched this recap then rewatched all the other GG recaps and then watched this one again. ty for keeping me company!! i was so entertained the whole time
truly the most scrumptious timing for me personally i literally binged the first three parts this week
when mike pionted to the camera and said "jobless" i felt that, as a jobless individual
you dropped this just as i sat down for my girl dinner. I guess we both eating!
My brain hurting at all the things that Gossip Girl reveals that actively shocks the character who is actually Gossip Girl. I can't!
THE MOMENT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR OH MY GOD.
JUST broke up with a guy I still love. Mike - thank you for blessing me with this gift today. I needed it.
Luv u all ❤❤❤
You get through!!!! One day at a time, and feel all of your feelings fully ❤❤
But block his number 😅😅 or only have emotional convos with them in person or on the phone and not via text so that you cannot re-read and obsess over them later!!
Wishing you the best !!
all the love in the world your way! hope you can find a way to heal and grow from this xoxo
You got this bestie 🫶🏻 sending you all the love and positive vibes 🩷🩷
Same boat. Thank-you for putting it in these words. I love him but i broke up with him last week. I've felt massive anxiety. I needed this video for endorphins and to distract me from even possibly unblocking.
1:16:12 OMG this past week i was trying to remember the name of that song cause i used to love it and resigned myself into thinking i'd never find it! Your video was a godsend😂
as an empath knowing the struggle you were about to go through at said Paris station and the once in a lifetime never before seen flu you were struck with makes this an extra emotional watch xoxo thank you mmcu
I’m crying at “once in a lifetime never before seen flu” hahahaha
