No commercials either!

YEEEEEAAAAHHHH

[Neonivek]

Also I have to ask

Does anyone have a pet peeve of when they show a character's level of athletics and they exagerate how weak and unathletic they are even though in every other episode, and sometimes the same one, they demonstrated genuin and impressive athletics?

Honestly I've seen exactly very few shows where the fact that the main character has to run away from people all the time actually became a plot point later where he became a track and field star... In another show (Kim Possible) Ron Stoppable became a runner because of his impressive dodging ability.

TWO examples... only two.

Gravity Falls has a bit of that and it bugs me slightly, yeah. Apparently Dipper can take on a giant multi headed bear, but not a teenage bully.

Maybe that spear he was carrying around was magic or something.

Truthfully I figured the entire ritual was magic and if he completed it he would have transformed into a Manutaur (afterall, they are all male... they have to come from somewhere... and unlike the Gnomes there was no hint of a queen).

But... it was actually within that same episode that it was a big... "Really?" when he tried to lift a stick.

It could just be a state of mind. Back when he took on the bear he was full of machoistic manisms.

So what is your favorite joke from Gravity falls?

Mind is definately

The Rap... for something supposively so outragous it killed two old people with heart attacks. It is so tame it could have been a villain song in Barney

[kaijyuu]

Honestly, I dunno. I might've laughed hardest at the car minigame in fight fighters, or maybe the training mix from the manataur episode. Lots of good ones.

Randomly browsing the Gravity Falls wiki, I discovered this little tidbit about Rumble McSkirmish:

The character on his back is 屁, the Chinese character for fart and butt.

I don't know why, but this makes me laugh. Woo for potty humor.

Main reason to never watch stuff on tv, ever again.

[MrWiggles]

I never really understood the hate for commercials.

I never really understood the hate for commercials.

+10 minutes of your life watching more episodes?  Instead of two 30 minute episodes, you can watch three!  Well, you get the idea?

I like the show, and its content creators, and since its unlikely I'll buy merchandise, the only way possible to support him watching some commercials.

[kaijyuu]

Creators get paid either way. I still dunno how exactly networks measure ratings, but assuming they're spying on what you're watching, at most the only help you're giving is boosting those, which could help give them future work.

If you wanna support creators, send them a check in the mail.

[Zangi]

They won't say they are spying on what you are watching...   but... they can check ratings by how many people are tuned in on the program as it is airing.

The taco thing in Fight Fighters was a reference? I just thought it was a dumb power up joke. Still funny.

I think the All You Can Eat/Shoryuken joke would be the hardest to get if you didn't know the reference. Or the Soviet Union thing, considering the target audience.
