Hi
Loved the fast forward and stunned silence. Maybe the World Series Defense as well? s05e06
How do you feel about hearing the big lie 5 big lies that all Trump Election lawsuits were thrown out even Trump's own appointed judges. You yourself covered victories
hahaha thank you.. ..
and thats when i saw it .. and steped in the fresh. poo
I would recommend reviewing season 3 episode 3 of Trailer Park Boys "If I can't smoke and swear I'm f**ked" The court proceedings are pretty funny.
To be fair, the third arbitrator just coming up with nonsense is exactly what the gang was looking for. They fired the previous two for trying to determine fair ownership rationally.
"I think I'm all caught up"
This.
Arbitors*
@@samweldon8104 Aribtrators* don't try and incorrect people.
Absolutely. It's like when the gang went to a psychiatrist. They weren't looking for reason or mental health assistance, they just wanted to know who should clean the dishes.
"Charlie is not a legal expert, even in bird law."
You totally besmirched him today and I demand satisfaction.
Don't you mean totally birdsmirched him?
We'll need to summon Brennan Lee Mulligan, who is an expert in bird facts.
Phillabuster!
He's made himself perfectly redundant.
well techically if the age of consnet is 17, she is still unserage underage is under 18 or 21.
"It's a 2 dollar scratcher, who cares" To be fair, this in essence sums up 90% of the gang's problems.
lifted right from the seinfeld playbook
They are so petty with any situation I love the pettiness😂😂
"Let's go toe to toe on bird law and see who comes on top!"
The funniest part about this episode is that it's Mac's "coming out" moment. He doesn't do it out of personal struggle, catharsis or to inspire others - but to just win a lottery ticket. 😂😂😂
It was kind of touching when he says he's going to stay out this time though, so I think there was an element of catharsis. Ultimately the struggle, pain, and inspiration is brought out when he comes out to his dad though and Frank's the one that accepts him.
What's also funny is that he wants to paint himself as progressive but it's always a fight within him like him saying he won't be playing Danny Glover's character is a big deal but the other's just don't care enough
The episode when comes out to his dad, though, is honestly amazing and very moving.
@@icp7201 It really isn't. It's kinda meh.
he's the day hero we need, not the one we deserve.
"Even the kid with the balloon knew where to look" kills me every time
There you are, someone get a hold of charlie dayy
Same here! Now I always look to the little kid on rewatches since Frank pointed him out. It's hilarious.
lmao i missed that entirely
Oo
Dude, please pick up your mail from the mail room. 😂🤣😂
Yeah, Frank's argument is basically how the entire gang works - "If by some accident, I actually do something in my life that helps someone else...then obviously somebody owes me something."
How else do you think he got to the top! Slitting throats and taking names
Always Sunny's alternate title "Five Sociopaths Own A Bar". Hilarity ensues. I always loved how they are all INCREDIBLY selfish, yet somehow find their own ways of caring about each other.
Technically it wasn't an accident
@@JonathanLewispartypenguin And then throw them in the soup
I love this because of a line in one of the season 15 episodes, so spoilers obviously...
...
...
When they're making Lethal Weapon 7, and Mac says he won't do blackface, he's expecting them to applaud him for not being racist lol.
I like how this trilogy is basically legal eagle slowly coming to terms with being an IASIP fan
To be fair, that 3rd arbitrator was probably just a legal secretary told to make something up and get rid of them so that the support staff could go home.
"Im her boss and she makes less than minimum wage"
Thats quite a confession.
Its her own fault. She signs a contract that gives her full ownership of the pubs merchendise and all of its revenue, but at the cost of being payed less than mw.
The pub has no merchendise, never has. She knew that when signing it.
Dee is sad.
@@Swift_LN I don't know if that legally works, though? If you could waive your rights to minimum wage, wouldn't there be effectively no minimum wage?
Even regarding waitstaff who are usually paid less than minimum wage, they're entitled to reimbursement that would bring them up to minimum wage if they don't make tips.
@@Swift_LN I don't really know if that works legally speaking. Even jobs like waitressing that do pay sub-minimum wage usually have a requirement that if tips don't at least meet minimum wage, then the employer must pay the difference.
I know sometimes, contracts can be invalidated if the terms are considered too unreasonable, though I don't know what the actual process for specific reasons for doing so can be.
@@critormiss6084 she’s a bartender. I’d assume like waiters and waitresses they can be payed less than minimum wage based on the assumption they’d make up for it in tips
@@critormiss6084 Yea, it would work if it's not an employment contract, but instead an independent contractor contract.
There's no set minimum or maximum legally allowable pay in those cases. They are considered "nonemployees".
I love that he started yelling about how sad Dee is along with the gang
Dennis knew, The Arbitrator knew even Legaleagle knew.
@@Eightsixseven23224 Even the little kid with the balloon knew.
He’s getting the show. I’m proud of him.
The saddest part after all of this is that due to her trying to pay $2 to delay being a loser, she ended up losing $10k.
Just SO SAD.
6:49
I love that he’s seen enough episodes now to understand the gang’s relationship with Dee and fully piles on with the others.
"The writers of the show must know what they're doing to write Charlie so insane from a legal perspective." Yes. I love the appreciation of writing comedy. Too many people just say somethings wrong but don't seem to understand that was intentional.
Would love to see a reaction to an episode of Laverne and Shirley called Robot Lawsuit. Particularly for the end.
the funny part is that he actually created the show
@@matthewrhampton6506 I think Rob created the show, Charlie Day is an executive producer
@@bbygrunge charlie presented the show to rob and rob liked it. i think thats why its credited that way.
1:49 All 3 of them wrote this episode, you can see it in the credits in the beginning
Rob McElhenney is the primary creator of the show. Charlie and Glenn have been heavily involved of course but no, Charlie didn't present something to Rob that he liked. It's Rob's brainchild that he and his buddies built up on
I think the arbitrator was operating under the kind of schoolground justice model that the gang was presenting. They didn't hire an arbitrator to tell them who, legally, owns the ticket; they were hired to tell them who "should" get it. They weren't going to accept a legal justification anyway, only one that they would find compelling enough to go along with it, like the lofty principles of "finder's keepers" and "I did you a solid".
It looked like the firm just realised the gang wasnt there for actual legal advice and didnt really care, so why not just send someone in to just decide it arbitrarily and get it done.
I think the point of them switching arbitrators 2X is they don’t want a “Legal” answer. They want someone to conform to their version of reality.
That's how the gang works, they have to draw normal people into the or lunacy and completely break them
@@bill_the_butcher jUSt LIkE libEraLS
@@gaminganimators7000 when a liberal thinks theyre right 😮🙄🤓
"the writers must know about law with how they write charlie to seem so insane from a legal perspective" -> charlie day is one of the two most active writers in the series -> charlie must know about law -> wait what?
Ipso facto..... We're free to go?
@@greglathrop8191No, you are not. This instigation is just beginning, and you being retained until further motive.
Uh... Phillibuster
“Arbitration is a thing that you can do.”
This is the hard hitting commentary only a lawyer can provide
But canthe characters write their names?
I can imagine by the third arbitrator the firm had a decent grasp of the Gang's lunacy and just made up an insane conclusion to this case to get them out of the building.
It wouldn’t the first time in this show that a lawyer largely just made something arbitrary up in the hopes the gang would finally leave them alone.
@@Empyre18 i’m not even sure it would be the second time.
@@chuckyxii10 No amount money is worth the downward spiral of your life that you will inevitably enter because of too much contact with the Gang.
Yeah I guess the gang did seem to agree with their rules
But also the longer they were there the more they get paid, but idk if they can last multiple days
I wouldn't say insane, I think it's rational under the understanding that this was the path of least resistance.
On the one hand her judgment was not based in law, but on the other she understood the situation well enough to know that they wouldn't challenge the ruling because she was working under their "moral" framework lmao.
That's one of my favorite episodes and I've seen it a few times, but I just caught the full irony of the legal bill being $9,998 which Mac has to pay so he can receive a ticket that costs 2 bucks, but is worth 10 thousand, leaving him with 2 bucks profit, presumably to buy another ticket and possibly start the cycle again from the very beginning. I would love to see that sequel!
$9,986 was the bill. 7 tickets!
"arbitrators can often make any decision that they want.."
So it's all........ARBITRARY???
Btw, the blank face after the fast forward just made my day.
I definitely laughed when Devin fast forwarded through the "exercise" bike part to giving us that face after all of that 🤣
I think it was more so fast forwarding the prejudice stuff and exercise bike is irrelevant
15:54
And Charlie saying the N word lol
@@U1TR4F0RCE I think every part of the fast forward was relevant to why he fast forwarded Lol 😂
well techically if the age of consnet is 17, she is still unserage underage is under 18 or 21.
I love how you genuinely enjoy the show despite the legal shenanigans.
BECAUSE of the legal shenanigans.
I'd imagine so. After all, what other program puts Bird Law into the limelight?
I mean, our guy's favorite TV lawyer is Lionel Hutz.
well techically if the age of consnet is 17, she is still unserage underage is under 18 or 21.
It's obviously ridiculous on its face but in being so ALSO points out the ridiculousness of our legal system.
If we had a TRULY FAIR legal system, there would be no need for attorneys. I watched a judge the other day dismiss a case due to a procedural paperwork error -- he stated that he couldn't knowingly find her guilty because, if she had sufficient legal representation, her lawyer would've gotten the case thrown out instantly based on that error. But not all judges would be so kind. He could very well have charged her anyways.
Hearing a lawyer say something is expensive is always scary
I'm just thinking about the episode of South Park called Reverse Cowgirl
I love that the farther the gang gets from an actual courtroom the more legally accurate the show is.
I love how the always sunny writers clearly know how the law actually works but just don't care.
Imagine if that was how medical dramas handled medicine
@@TayDoesStuff Or how any show handled technology lol
They also know how reality works
And just don't care 😂😂
They have a degree in bird law
Just like She-hulk!
“If it smells like shit, you must acquit!”
That’s literally one of the best quotes I’ve heard
Literally pure comedy gold

@@jojoyayathereal wtf are you trying to say?
@@ironmike5812 It's spam. It's just copy-pasting the same comment in different places.
I love that even the arbitrator called them "arbiters" by the end. Such is the power of repetition.
Please do the episode "TIME'S UP FOR THE GANG". They're at a sexual harassment seminar and its just absolutely hilarious and a bit of law-related stuff going on as well of course
Yes! “My dong fell out” is my fav iasip quote
@@Juggadoosh It's up there with "woops, I dropped my monster condom for my MAGNUM DONG"
Finally. This was the Sunny Lawyer episode I was waiting for him to do. There’s somewhat of a discussion to the scene in question.
well techically if the age of consnet is 17, she is still unserage underage is under 18 or 21.
@@jojoyayathereal what?
Th…that has zero to do with the case. The girl could’ve been a 78 yo dude or a 5yo panda, and it wouldn’t have an effect on the actual ruling. At most hed be repaid the cost of the ticket/other items if he had record of how much money he was giving her. If I gave my employee $20 a day for a $20 pizza, and he bought $15 pizzas and pocketed the $5 each time, I’d be entitled to my extra $5 as it was only granted to cover the full amount of that business expense, which was assumed to be $20.
He doesn’t get to add it to his own special surplus fund to buy stuff for himself ie NOT items required or requisitioned for business purposes, which is hard to imagine a scratcher fitting the criteria as a work expense. Just as if a boss sent you on a $2200 trip and sent you with the $2200 to cover the trip, you don’t just get to keep the remainder if they surprise you with $500 off upon arrival. Receipts will be needed for tax purposes and said business’s own record keeping, and it will be viewed as a big fat
-$500.00 in red as your outgoing balance didn’t match your record of the trip.
Okay replying before this escalates. I’m referring to Frank calling Mac the F word while also saving his life. Would it still be considered a hate crime if it ended up saving his life?
@@cesarvictoriano8072 if you watched the video it's pretty clear. Just using that word is not a hate crime.
It's always Sunny's variety when it comes to its episode list severely underrated.
So many classic episodes with timeless jokes
They use the right kind of shoe polish.
They aren't jabronis
I don't think its underrated. Any sunny fan I know rates it very highly.
@@MisterFarce exactly! Damn, can you imagine….actually being a jabroni??!!
@@Manhandle730 I can't think of a worse fate
The show went from an F to a B to a B+ in legal realism and only got more hilarious with its more accurate depiction of the court system. Even Devin couldn't help but laugh.
Wait... Did Dennis accidentally admit to, as her boss, paying Dee less than minimum wage? Does that invalidate his claim through the fact that he's breaking the law by underpaying his employee? And can/should Dee press charges?
She gets paid less the minimum wage because supposedly she gets merchandise rights that subsidize the difference
There are also places that wait staff, which I assume she is, makes less than minimum wage because their tips are part of their wages.
@@TheFinius And theres no shot Dee makes good tips, have you heard how unfunny and bird-like she is.
@@TheFinius there is still a service based minimum wage for individuals in that category
While they may all be legally on the hook for the bill, I think you’re underestimating how psychologically dependent Mac is on the rest of the gang. At one point Dennis literally lures him into a cult and acts as his cult leader in order to keep him from eating his Thin Mints, he is definitely capable of psychologically manipulating him into paying the bill, whether he was supposed to or not. And having the rest of the gang behind him only makes it easier, as they define almost all of Mac’s sense of self worth. He doesn’t have any other friends, and his parents are shown to be extremely distant and unsupportive, while Mac himself is shown to be deeply insecure, which makes him a prime target to be taken advantage of by his friend. And the gangs entire dynamic has always been incredibly abusive like that. We see them do basically the same thing to Dee in the cereal defense where they basically just gaslight her into paying for the damages.
Slight correction: they don't so much gaslight Dee into paying the damages as browbeat her
well techically if the age of consnet is 17, she is still unserage underage is under 18 or 21.
@@jojoyayathereal The post you are replying to says nothing related to what you are saying.
Yeah Mac is my favorite member of the gang and he makes me so sad. His insecurities, abandonment issues, parental issues, etc is so sad especially because he’s so desperate for their love and care and approval that he just acquiesces a lot and they can easily manipulate him. I mean he literally talks about how he wants to be strong basically to be able to protect them. And the whole “this is about raising happy boys” scene. I have so many emotions about Mac.
@@Logan_Baron I think they're drunk. 🤣
Objection!
"I don't think you're allowed to smoke indoors in Philadelphia"
I would like to site the case of 'Snitches v. Stitches'
That face after the fast forward: priceless.
Objection!
According to the case of Finders Keepers versus Losers Weepers a legal precedent was set that upon seeing and picking up the ticket, and I'm quoting legal documents here, "too bad, so sad." So, in my lack of expertise, the arbitrator reached a mostly correct decision. Frank deserved nothing though. He should have said nothing and then taken the ticket out of his dead hands utilizing that previous case to his advantage.
16:26 you’re right! ITS A BILLION DOLLAR IDEA
The fact that Devin sees a throwaway joke about whose money a scratch ticket was bought with and find sit legitimately very interesting and thought-provoking from a legal point of view is the sort of things why I'm subscribed to this channel.
Not really a throwaway line; it was the entirety of Dennis' argument.
It was literally the center point of the episode, not sure why you think it's a throwaway joke.
Its worrying that you and 262 others don't understand what's going on
I agree with your conclusion but I always imagined they said to this arbitrator that they don't care what the law is and explained that they're arguing based on their wacky moral compasses.
The gang? Explain anything coherently?? I imagine the last two were like “Look clearly they don’t care about the law, just get them out of here”
11:33 In Charlie’s defense, he was attempting to delay their current situation with a prolonged speech. That is what a filibuster is, more or less, right?
As a fiction writer, this channel, this video in particular, has been a fantastic different element to the storytelling process. From this perspective, it becomes clear what the writers were trying to do throughout the show.
Very cool. New to the channel, but very helpful. Very much appreciated.
Sincerely,
Chicago, IL
Wait, you're the entire city of Chicago, Illinois?
I think the lady who made the call did the right thing since she knew that a legally correct answer wouldn't make them happy, and she would likely get kicked out and they'd move onto another Arbiter so she had to work using their weird mental framework.
On the other hand, they could have continued billing the gang assuming this is an office.
Devin's reaction to the Ass Blaster 4000 is golden.
15:55
holy smokes your face AFTER "Watching" the FFW stuff was...brilliant LOL. That whole scene made me laugh to no end but you seem shocked at the whole thing that transpired. This pretty much sums up almost every episode of Sunny and its great
"Who hoist piano like an old cartoon?"
A lot of old New York was designed by Dutch people, and one trip through Amsterdam will show you furniture still being hoisted in like this piano. Those tall, skinny buildings have stairs that do not allow large things to pass through them. So, the buildings were designed with a little weight supporting notch on the top center from which to mount a pulley.
The funniest part about the result of this is, because they kept kicking away the arbitrators with morals and ethics they got the arbitrator that didn't uphold those morals and ethics endings with a terrible outcome legally for the gang.
the best part is that how something this ludicrous gets a B+ because as inane as the premise was, most of it was still factually legit. def. one of the best episodes of both shows!
The look on his face when he fast forwards through their whole discussion is friggin hilarious
I like how Mac is so enthralled by being called f* that he doesn't even notice he has a shit-covered shoeprint on his shirt.
Objection: The arbiter's decision is considered legal if it is used to set up a joke.

Hate crimes don't have to deal with just race or gender, but also other attributes, such as economic status. Beating up homeless people because they're homeless is a hate crime, for example.
Unless you are a police officer, then it's standard procedure.
None of this video was about hate crimes
Its about the ticket
Not if the person claims not to be homeless.
@@cagethelonewolf did we watch the same video?
Because the video we are commenting under spent quite some time talking about hate crimes.

They fired every arbitrator that actually did their job - They probably ended up with an arbitrator that cared more about getting paid than actually doing their job correctly.
6:52 I just realized that I've used the same logic as Dee to not read my text messages or Facebook notifications since August. As long as I don't check, I can't see that my ex girlfriend hasn't texted or messaged me. I miss her so bad.
Sorry to hear that, man. I know that feeling all too well. Hope things work out for you!

I still think Charlie Kelley is one of the most well played/written character in comedy.
Objection: traditional legal standards may not always be the same when dealing with the complexities of bird law
I love the fact that in Charlies brain the best way to win a case is with rhyming soundbites and that he probably spent hours just thinking of those two quotes.
It worked on OJ's trial
I like that you react as you go, learning the info as the viewer does. Instead of just a final decision. We get to learn more about the law as we go.

The “old timey” piano is in reference to famous case law. Quite clever they added that and really odd an attorney missed it. RES IPSA LOQUITUR.
What case law is that? I tried looking up “hoisting piano court case and couldn’t find anything.
@@mrfunnyperson100 “Res ipsa loquitur” is a legal doctrine meaning “the thing speaks for itself.” Simply put, the incident could not have occurred without the negligence of another party. A piano falling out of a window is just a common example of something having occurred as a result of negligence. A real life case you could look into though is Byrne v Boadle, where a barrel of flour fell out of a window and hit the plaintiff (Byrne) on the head.

When you were talking about the scope of employment, it was mentioned that she earns less than minimum wage, to the extent that her affording gummy worm sweets is hard to believe.
Then I've gotta wonder, is her employment contract even legally binding to begin with?
But do the laws apply to a stupid bird
@@joeygreen8091 no but also golden gods don't follow the law
She's a waitress and or bartender and you can legally pay them as little as 2,83$ an hour. Plus in an earlier episode they mention something about giving Dee the merchandizing rights to the bar so they can legally pay her less.
@@SUFHolbek according to federal law if waitstaff earn below minimum wage and don't make minimum wage in tips then they must be reimbursed such that their total gross pay equaled minimum wage. I worked at a restaurant and not reimbursing waitstaff oftentimes shuts them down. In addition the law is addended so even in the case of replacing pay with merchandise you still have to give them gross income of minimum wage and any contract that doesn't isn't legally binding.
My stepdad is a circuit court judge who’s retiring later this year. After hearing those arbitrator numbers, I’ve suggested that in case he gets bored in retirement and/or my parents’ very bad dog eats another couch or breaks another toilet (yes, the dog broke the toilet, he’s that much of an agent of chaos).
Id love to see what the costs are. I guess they can just charge insane numbers due to limited supply.
The writers of the show are Charlie, Dennis and Mac! They create and edit the show as well. A lot of the scenes they go off script as well, especially Charlie’s character with the legal terms
This episode was a classic in a sitcom that’s easily one of the most consistently great shows ever produced. I’d argue IASIP is in the same league as The Simpsons, Seinfeld, Parks & Rec, The Office, and NewsRadio. In terms of consistency of its quality across seasons, it’s gotta be in the top 3.
EDIT: +Arrested Development (I can’t believe I forgot to include it in the pantheon of sitcom excellence).
NewsRadio may have beaten it on consistent greatness if not for the tragic death of Phil Hartman.
how about Archer? I'm currently in season 2, so far I think it's very close to IASIP
@@azhari7968 Archer is one of those shows where I am a big fan of everyone involved in its production, and I have seen several clips that are hilarious-but I have tried a few times now and just haven’t been able to sink my teeth into it. Arrested Development should have been in that list though, I can’t believe I overlooked it (the original seasons anyway, I haven’t caught up with the reboot).
Always sunny is way funnier than the Office.
Wilfred isn't a popular show, but I think it's well done for a show from the last decade
Malcolm in the Middle, King of the Hill and Community are up there for me too
I love their in-house legal process. The Gang Goes to Hell is great for show casing this. “good work guys, we got our conflict negotiation down to 4 hours. That’s pretty good”
To be fair, they seem to have fired every arbitrator that would give the correct legal response until they got a decision based on equally ridiculous premises.
And they def just wanted to work toward getting Mac to finally come out in the show.
it's funny that he mentions the writers writing Charlie as a crazy lawyer, but Charlie is actually one of the main writers on the show
Thank you so much Legal Eagle! Im sitting at home sick as hell and miserable, but when this popped up I got momentary relief! Such a great scene, love this video.

My daughter is sick today, I'm home with her, and then this glorious video comes up
Feel better!
Sorry to hear it!
When devin agreed that dee not scratching the ticket was sad i started dying 🤣
Love that the X/2+7 for age difference creepiness shows up with no elaboration. It's just become ubiquitous.
in reality its more like if the guy is attractive to the person being hit on then creepiness = 0

A very interesting show to do a Lawyer Reacts to would be The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy episode “Keeper of the Reaper”. The episode follows a custody battle between Billy and Mandy over who gets to keep Grim. It’s rather neat and I would definitely recommend it.
When even the 4th party outside the conversation thinks a statement from Dee is sad, it's genuinely SAD!
The little speech at 16:01 with the modified exercise bike totally cracks me up. Partly thanks to me not knowing how they got there because of the fast forward that didn't skip this weirdness.
Dennis thinks that Mac is using the dildo bike for its obvious purpose but Mac claims its simply to push you back up when you get tired and try to sit down
I love these episodes dealing with It's Always Sunny. Those guys are hilarious and you seem to enjoy it so much.
I absolutely love seeing Devin jump right in with the gang and tease Dee.
Honestly, the "no" on hearing the arbitrator come to catastrophically wrong conclusions really made this for me.
Also, I'd love to see more Harvey Birdman episodes.
Lol if this lawyer was a character in Always Sunny they'd unintentionally ruin his life due to him being so calm and practical
One thing that surprised me the most in this episode is that they apparently tip cashiers in the States
It's mostly at gas stations/7-11's. Some customers just don't want to keep the change they get. Sometimes it can be used when there's not enough change in the drawer. But at the end of the night, it can be divded, too (if allowed)
I dunno why my brain has become so attached to his three Always Sunny videos, but nearly every night I fall asleep to one of them. I put one of 'em on right before I intend to fall asleep. In fact, it's what I 'm doing right now. Good night, legal eagles. Dream of bird law.
Everything about this analysis was amazing. but I have to admit I especially love the fast forwarding edit at 15:48 due to (lack of) relevance and Devin's reaction at 15:55.
"that's not what a hate crime is."
*well I hated it!*
“Lets just move on” 😂😂 best thing you could’ve done there
Screaming F@& isn't a hate crime. But screaming it while beating someone up likely is. Good point. Usage of that language changes the nature of a crime rather than being a crime in and of itself.
On my first day of property class in 1L, a student raised her hand and confidently pronounced that possession was 9/10ths of the law....it didn't go well.
I would love to see you cover the Married... with Children episode "I'll See You in Court." I think it would be interested because while the main characters sue someone for legitimate reasons, they bungle it so badly they get barely anything.
Sir please do “Dennis gets divorced” lol brings more background to a lot of the inside jokes in the mcpoyle vs ponderosa case too. It’s season 6 episode 2!
12:20 "The writers of the show"
Baby, you're lookin' at 'em
the gang also get into run ins with the law in the following: "The Gang Cracks the Liberty Bell" (this one is loosely related but there are some cool insights form a lawyer) and "The World Series Defense"
Your "weirdest suit" is 12x better than the best clothes I've ever had in my wardrobe
Of all the reactions, this is probably ine my my favorites. I'll be watching this series starting now
