TheGreaterGood80 Another good one would be if a woman approached you without an ulterior motive. But that wouldn’t be The Twilight Zone. That would just be hell freezing over and the devil giving out free sleigh rides.
Whoa whoa back up... "Sherry, who looks like a hotter version of Shawn if he owned a comb" LOL whoever writes these deserves an award, or a medal... or pie or something.
I love that Alan says he would kill for Shawn. Shawn isn't his blood but he loves him like a son. He is a peaceful man but he would kill for one of his kids.
@@kevinconleysage2659 it got taken off because they were good actually. If a show is doing really well in the ratings Disney contact states that all actors get a considerable raise after the 3rd season. That's why some Disney shows are only around for 3-4 seasons.
@Anthony DelVecchio Hey, ease on up. No one here kicked your puppy & I'm pretty certain we're all here because we actually liked the show and each episode covered. It's perfectly acceptable to laugh at things you like even, you might just like doing so in the end ❤
This episode had two of my favorite lines of the entire series- Shawn: “Ohhhh my bad. This is a cult.” Eric: “Okay which one of you brainwashed nut jobs validates parking?” I mean, I’m dead 😂
In fairness, I STILL love Boy Meets World to this day- I just did a full series rewatch last year and it totally holds up! :) Not necessarily every single episode in itself (this particular episode, for instance, *was* quite awkward haha), but on the whole? Yeah.. it's still dang great coming of age TV. Great acting, great characters, super funny, and a ton of genuinely insightful life lessons.It's definitely a cut above most other nostalgic shows!
It's easy to make fun, but this is actually how a lot of cults operate. They love to prey on kids with insecurities by first listening to them, then giving them a ton of extremely positive attention. This is a technique called "love bombing" and yes, it often does involve excessive hugging and using the subject's name a lot. The point is to form a strong, positive, relationship with the subject as soon as possible before you start to use their insecurities against them and drive a wedge between the subject and their family/friends however you can. Yeah, it all happens way too fast in this episode (and ends up pushing a overtly Judeo-Christian message), but it's clear that somebody at least did their research when it came to representing the cult, and that's something you rarely ever see in mainstream TV.
Yeah. I'll be honest - as summarized by this video, anyways, the family seems more cultish than the cult. It doesn't sound like the cult actually asked him to do anything except be nice to people, whereas the family kinda pushed their religion onto the kid. The true negative effects of a cult weren't really highlighted.
roguishpaladin I can sort of see how this video summary might give that impression, but nah, in the actual show this was one of the *rare* times religion was ever mentioned, and the Matthews family wasn't cultish at all :) It is true that on the surface the cult depicted seems relatively harmless, but I think that's the point F1NGER was making: a lot of cults *might* very well start off seeming almost positive in nature. They're not going to jump right in with all the darkest stuff they might be planning- if that were the case, even a kid like Shawn who was feeling really lost would know to get the heck out of there. No, it makes sense that they would start by fostering a really positive connection with kids in that position, gain their trust, and at the same time gradually isolate them to the point where they *are* susceptible to being brainwashed into doing things they never would have done otherwise. Regardless of whether or not we actually see that last part, the very fact that they were isolating kids and manipulating them into not trusting anyone else in their life is what's dangerous.
As has been said, this is one of, if not the only time that God has been brought up in this show. Religion was never a part of the Mathew's family dynamic. and the goal wasn't for Mr. Mathews to try to get Shawn to believe in God, he was simply getting him to question what he believed in, trying to get him to think for himself, and ask questions, figure out what his world view is.
It was also about Scientology, which was really gaining popularity in Hollywood. There's even a joke about "the celebrity room" at The Centre. In fact, Ethan Suplee, who played "Frankie" on BMW, is a Scientologist.
Love the part where Alan tells Mr. Mack he'll kill to protect Shawn from people like him, backing down only when Amy tells him that Mack "would love a lawsuit"...considering that Cory's dad was once a member of the US Navy boxing team, he may well have made good on his threat!
That could have been an oblique reference to the folks at Westboro Baptist Church who protest funerals of soldiers, trying to get people to pick fights with them so they can sue and get payoffs.
Darrin Johnson Not to mention John Turner makes a appearance in Girl Meets World and is the Super Attendant of School in New York and gave Cory his Job as a teacher.
Did he come back for Girl Meets World? That's nice. I actually loved how it was Minkus, another character who was written off and never heard from again, was the one that mentioned Mr. Turner in the grad episode. The writing was very meta in that episode lol
Mr. Mack legit looks like the NXIVM guy. And come to think of it, that Smallville actress who helped him is Allison Mack. What if Boy Meets World predicted NXIVM?
I mean there’s a show running there right now where the whole premise is a teen pregnancy kept hidden from the child, who was raised by her grandparents and lied to about her real mom, who her grandparents told her was her sister. That’s pretty ballsy to me. They have a character who’s currently coming out as gay too! (the show is Andi Mack)
I hope I'm right that I sense there's gonna be a playlist for every kids show that had fucked up plots lol. Zach Morris is Trash and now Boy Meets World.
Shawn Hunter was agnostic he didn’t know what he believed in and where he stands he had a hard life but he had people that really loved him not the cult.
One more lesson: Never abandon your friend who thinks you care about them to go make out, as that may cause them to be interested in a creepy cult girl’s offer of friends who wouldn’t abandon them to make out.
But if your GF is a hottie named “Topanga” who is inexplicably interested in you despite your Jewfro, by all means, you should abandon your friend for the make out sesh.
wow, clearly no one watched this show (no hate towards the OP, I'm here to answer your question and correct everyone else): After this episode, Shawn finds and moves in with his step-brother...Turner is pretty much written off the show but is referenced before they all graduate high school alongside another "disappearance" in the form of Stuart Minkus...and all of this episode is a culmination of what Shawn has been through. Anyone who has had their mom run out on them, dad semi-abandon them to go look for said mother for years, and never feel like they fit a particular group (this was a lead up to going separate ways with Corey as well) would easily fall in with a cult! all in all, don't f*** with this show...NOTHING has ever been or will be a greater tv series.
Fun fact, Mr. Turner made his return in a cameo on the show's spinoff, Girl Meets World. He didn't die. He married his nurse from the hospital, became a school superintendent in Manhattan, and eventually gave Cory Matthews his teaching job.
Which is funny because Ben Savage starred in another ABC series (Wild Palms, Oliver Stone's attempt at Twin Peaks) that went after Scientology. Only in that show he became the cult's leader after his secret father died and became a hologram. The folks at ABC must have done a lot of Ketamine in the 90's.
Cults were big in the news in the 90s, because of the Heaven's Gate cult and the cult in Waco, Texas and all the 50 billion other ones that were on the news every other day back then. The 90s were to cults as the 2010s are to mass shootings.
Wrong: Mr. Turner somehow ended up becoming superintendent of NYC schools or some crazy shit. But whatever, this show called out Scientology wayyyyy before Leah Remini.
“Shawn says he doesn’t have the luxury to believe in a warm house with a warm family even though he’s at that house with that family every fucking day” I’m glad someone finally said it!!!!!
PLEASE.........MORE OF THESE!!!!!!! I know that accidents are NOT funny, but the way you described Mr. Turner's motorcycle accident at 3:42 made me laugh my ass off!!!!!!
Moral of the story: If you're introduced to a physical group led by Stiles from the 1985 Teen Wolf movie, call the DEA to track down his brother's stash.
Actually Mr Turner goes into the off screen void where every other forgotten or dropped character of the show went after they were written out of the show. Meekus proves that it exists in the high school graduation episode where he calls out to Mr Turner.
Sierra Sawyers if you write zack morris is trash the writer will favorite it. I didn't even tag funny or die and i just wrote some random message about zack morris is trash and a verified twitter that says works at funny or die favorite it
He survived they even reference him in the final episode saying that him and minkus was on the other side of the school campus (off screen) the actor left to do his own show which failed
This is a great video. I also enjoyed watching the Boy Meets World episode where Cory and Shawn harbor a very detrimental and dangerous secret with abused girl Claire Ferguson and handle her situation the "WRONGEST" way possible.
I love Boy Meat Swirled as much as the next guy, but this episode is real dumb. Quick you've got 22 minutes and $46 to show a 'cult' indoctrinate one of your main characters. Move all the furniture out of the Chubby's set and get a creepy looking actor. Make sure the dialogue is real vague too, about what this cult is actually doing, to the point that, while you know it's a cult, they don't actually seem to be doing anything wrong, just hugging.
It seems like Shawn falls into the cult a little too easily, but context is important. You have to remember, the writers of Boy Meets World loved to kick the crap out of Shawn. He goes through so much more than any other character on the show. The cult episode is in season 4, right after his mom leaves him for the second time. In the previous season, both his mom and dad basically abandon him and he goes and lives with Mr. Turner. Then his dad comes back, and later his mom, giving him hope that his family is back together, only for his mom to leave again. Over the course of the next three seasons, his dad leaves him again, comes back later only to die of a heart attack, and then he finds out the woman who raised him (and abandoned him twice) wasn't his biological mother. His biological mother was a stripper, who also abandoned him. Like, the writers had something against the kid, I swear.
Yes! And we havent even covered even when his parents were together they constantly fought; always had financial instability; there are hints that Chet was abusive; he was kept from his brother for YEARS believing he hated Shawn for no reason; all the turmoil with Angela. Poor guy could never catch a break
Man I wasn't even looking @ the screen and only heard his voice when I says to myself I says.."I know that voice. Thats 'Styles' from TeenWolf(1985)'..also the weird/creepy pen salesman on Seinfeld. Love that guy! 😎👍
Shawn getting brainwashed within one hour was totally within character
Ya he was so confused that’s why it was so easy to manipulate him
He always did give in easily to peer pressure
Especially with cute girls there
@@infinitygames9317
And soda.
Actually, in real life, it only takes a week for you to fall into the cult mentality. Scary, I know, but it’s the truth.
Shawn literally had the most dramatic life in the world haha
DC Infinity Dad died. Mom gone. Estranged brother. Bad grades. Everything to do with Angela. It was all a mess.
DC Infinity he had the best hair in the show tho. Shawn is a legend
Andrea Movilla it was a tragedy
Micah Williams damn
For real, son. Good times
Shawn was always the center of the very special episodes. Poor kid couldn't catch a break
At least they didn't do the ski lodge episode. That episode SUCKED!.
Dude the next season after this episode should have been named Life Craps on Shawn
That's not true, there was that time Corey punched a professor for putting the moves on Topanga
What about when Corey was drinking a lot because Topanga broke up with him?
There was also that time Lauren the ski lodge girl kissed Corey and he struggled with whether or not to tell Topanga. And that time Topanga and Eric went on a "diet" because they were "fat"
Mr. Turner didn't die- he was on the other side of the school along with Minkus.
"We don't go there..."
🤣
Plus they both show up on Girl Meets World. Mr. Turner becomes the Manhattan School Superintendent who got Cory his teaching job.
Didn't he end up adopting Shawn?
@@andrewthezeppo right? thats what i was thinking...
I always thought Shawn looked like a real life Max from the Goofy Movies
LMAO 😂😂😂
@poisonmoon123 Jason Marsden.
I always had a crush on Shawn when I was younger, so that's a disturbing thought.
Son of a bitch!
He looks like a child yungblud
"If a hot girl offers to buy you a cup of coffee, she's probably trying to get you to join a cult." Truer words have never been spoken.
PatrickTK21 To be honest if hot girl is offering you something, run. It can’t mean anything good.
TheGreaterGood80 So basically The Twilight Zone?
TheGreaterGood80 Another good one would be if a woman approached you without an ulterior motive. But that wouldn’t be The Twilight Zone. That would just be hell freezing over and the devil giving out free sleigh rides.
But shawn could potentially get a happy ending from 3 chicks. It's a very effective way to recruit new cultists.
Bro amway did this shit to me. Legit asked me out for a cup of coffee and it turned out to be a fucking cult.
You gotta admit though, when Mr Mathews has the cult leader up against the wall at the hospital is a great moment.
Is TV dads go mr. Matthews was a pretty good dad
Yep. When I first saw this episode, I was rooting for Mr. Matthew's. He had my respect after that.
that was real ass push
Dads before the 2000’s weren’t no panties
That's cuz back then dads were free to be as real as they wanted or needed to be, and he obviously loved Shaun...
Whoa whoa back up... "Sherry, who looks like a hotter version of Shawn if he owned a comb" LOL whoever writes these deserves an award, or a medal... or pie or something.
Crimson_Ghost, was that a reference to Wreck-It Ralph?!
she was sooo cute
A hug. Who does not want a hug?
If nothing, the writer deserves one of the those old fashioned cult handies
Shawn is more attractive than that Troll Doll with a 90s mop.
I love that Alan says he would kill for Shawn. Shawn isn't his blood but he loves him like a son. He is a peaceful man but he would kill for one of his kids.
Alan Matthews is one of the best TV Dads of all time.
@@matthewlabbe8395 I agree. Alan Matthews is, indeed, one of the greatest TV dads ever.
@@matthewlabbe8395 I’ve never heard a more true statement

“Corey gives Shawn a hug, a real hug” *Not like those hugs he’s been giving out left and right like he took ecstasy at Bonnaro* 😂
And you have to call it The Centre because you can’t say Scientology on Friday nights at 830 on ABC
Pretty sure it was based around the idea of the Heavens Gate Cult.

yea keep doing it, but only when its true the character never appeared again. He appeared on GMW
Yes please do lol
Yes that had me dead for 5 replays straight
"Cory stops him and gives him a hug; *A REAL HUG*, not like those knockoff hugs Shawn has been handing out like he took ecstasy at Bonnaroo." HA
I loved how the dad stood up to the cult leader. The dad from that show reminds me so much of my dad. He is hard working, honest.
Turner is alive and well in Girl Meets World.
Roy Thingamajig not girls meets world.shit got cancle
I know but it happened in GMW when it was still on.
plus they referenced him when Stuart Minkus had a cameo before they graduated high school!!
Only because he needed a paycheck.
Well then he probably got a long recovery in a different state/country. Or lost his memory :D

FEENAY! FUH FUH FUH FEENAYYYYY!
FEE-HEE-HEE-HEENEH!
Mr. Feenie followed them to college then he died.
Crazy Legs because it never turned to shit
Emily Tichenor
Yeah. It just grew up a bit.
I haven't seen any girl meets world.
Eric was my favorite character
The phrase, "Coo coo banana bread cray cray" will now enter my verbal lexicon. Thank you, John Mullaney sound-alike VO. You are wonderful.
sabrina the teenage witch did a cult episode too, in the weird college years seasons.
The weird college years seasons = Sabrina the Smokin' Hot Witch
"A basement full of hugs and off-brand soda".
"A way hotter version of sean, but with a comb" Dead.
...because they love him. And "the center" is Koo Koo Banana Bread Cray Cray....
I know it was trying to be funny, but this video got lowkey deep
This is a very thinly-veiled swipe at Scientology.
Which is funny because Ben Savage starred in another ABC series (Wild Palms, Oliver Stone's attempt at Twin Peaks) that went after Scientology. Only in that show he became the cult's leader after his secret father died and became a hologram. The folks at ABC must have done a lot of Ketamine in the 90's.
Cults were big in the news in the 90s, because of the Heaven's Gate cult and the cult in Waco, Texas and all the 50 billion other ones that were on the news every other day back then. The 90s were to cults as the 2010s are to mass shootings.
Wrong: Mr. Turner somehow ended up becoming superintendent of NYC schools or some crazy shit. But whatever, this show called out Scientology wayyyyy before Leah Remini.
No, scientology is not a cult. The center is a cult. I want to be very clear. This is about the center.
@@YAYCONFORMITY scientology is very much a cult lol
@@YAYCONFORMITY Spoken like a true cultist
“Shawn says he doesn’t have the luxury to believe in a warm house with a warm family even though he’s at that house with that family every fucking day” I’m glad someone finally said it!!!!!
PLEASE.........MORE OF THESE!!!!!!! I know that accidents are NOT funny, but the way you described Mr. Turner's motorcycle accident at 3:42 made me laugh my ass off!!!!!!
landyachtfan79 this whole thing makes me cry
I love how whenever you never see someone again in a series, you say they probably killed themselves
Hercules Mulligan
Yeah, like we didn't see you after the battle of Yorktown.....Or Laffete for that matter....Oh shit.
I don't
Mr. Turner turns up again in _Girl Meets World_ .
Gabriel M lol no..
Yeah I cry like a b**** when Turner squeeze his hand back
Shawn's confused staring at the heart monitor is incredible.
This is INCREDIBLY ironic as Shawn's actor, Rider Strong, would then play a demon in Star Vs. The Forces Of Evil.
Oh yeah, that's ALSO a Disney show.
Since you can't say hand jobs at Friday night 8:30 on NBC 😂😂😂😂
Correction: BMW was on ABC
"Even tho he's at that house with that family EVERY f*cking day" 😭
Moral of the story: If you're introduced to a physical group led by Stiles from the 1985 Teen Wolf movie, call the DEA to track down his brother's stash.
Actually Mr Turner goes into the off screen void where every other forgotten or dropped character of the show went after they were written out of the show. Meekus proves that it exists in the high school graduation episode where he calls out to Mr Turner.
“his friends who care bail on him to go make out”
hahhahaha
Who writes this?! I’m DYINGGG 😂😂😂
Sierra Sawyers if you write zack morris is trash the writer will favorite it. I didn't even tag funny or die and i just wrote some random message about zack morris is trash and a verified twitter that says works at funny or die favorite it
Daniel Drischoll
He survived they even reference him in the final episode saying that him and minkus was on the other side of the school campus (off screen) the actor left to do his own show which failed
A basement full of hugs and off brand cola 😭
Im gonna need this channel to start making these again
Soooooo no more Zach Morris is trash? 😭😭😭 I commented on every video and liked it smh
Dashiell Driscoll YASSS
Think they covered his worst moments already. But there's plenty of that ass clown slater
I seriously hope they rip all 80s/90s 'special episodes' apart. They were always sooooooooo cheesy and just completely out of reality.
Moral of Story: Avoid generic soda
This is a great video. I also enjoyed watching the Boy Meets World episode where Cory and Shawn harbor a very detrimental and dangerous secret with abused girl Claire Ferguson and handle her situation the "WRONGEST" way possible.
You took one of my favorite "dark" BMW episodes and made it hilarious. Bravo 👏
I always wondered what happened to Styles from "Teen Wolf."
What does this comment mean? i dont get the teen wolf reference
It's a movie from the 80s. He played Styles; his character is kind of shady.
@@joshuahoover6841 thanks so much. I was thinking it was about the TV series teen wolf and I was so confused
@@cameronbennett8151 lol, np!
Joshua Hoover oh shit that’s Mr. Mack?
please never stop making any of these.
Request noted.
@@FunnyOrDie but you stopped
Sherry looks like a combination of Shawn and Topanga 😁
“Feeny returns to say Mr Turner has been centered...in the middle of the goddamn street” 😂😂 dude that’s fuckin hilarious 🤣
Mr. Turner likely didn't kill himself. He probably just died because all his organs were ruptured in that motorcycle crash.
She really does look like a hotter version of Shawn if he owned a comb lol
STOP RUINING MY CHILDHOOD!!!!!!!! LOL
2:03 J-O'd without the B. Wow jobs would be worthless if it didn't buy sex lol
I love Boy Meat Swirled as much as the next guy, but this episode is real dumb. Quick you've got 22 minutes and $46 to show a 'cult' indoctrinate one of your main characters. Move all the furniture out of the Chubby's set and get a creepy looking actor. Make sure the dialogue is real vague too, about what this cult is actually doing, to the point that, while you know it's a cult, they don't actually seem to be doing anything wrong, just hugging.
Justin Wright II I don’t care this show is still good I love this now not matter what it’s amazing show it’s a classic
It seems like Shawn falls into the cult a little too easily, but context is important. You have to remember, the writers of Boy Meets World loved to kick the crap out of Shawn. He goes through so much more than any other character on the show. The cult episode is in season 4, right after his mom leaves him for the second time. In the previous season, both his mom and dad basically abandon him and he goes and lives with Mr. Turner. Then his dad comes back, and later his mom, giving him hope that his family is back together, only for his mom to leave again. Over the course of the next three seasons, his dad leaves him again, comes back later only to die of a heart attack, and then he finds out the woman who raised him (and abandoned him twice) wasn't his biological mother. His biological mother was a stripper, who also abandoned him. Like, the writers had something against the kid, I swear.
Yes! And we havent even covered even when his parents were together they constantly fought; always had financial instability; there are hints that Chet was abusive; he was kept from his brother for YEARS believing he hated Shawn for no reason; all the turmoil with Angela. Poor guy could never catch a break
I love Boy Meets World, and this was my favorite episode.
Whoever writes for this channel is effing hilarious. These very special episode videos and the Zack Morris is trash videos always crack me up 😂
Man I wasn't even looking @ the screen and only heard his voice when I says to myself I says.."I know that voice. Thats 'Styles' from TeenWolf(1985)'..also the weird/creepy pen salesman on Seinfeld. Love that guy! 😎👍
