[@tinabean713]

This comment reminds me of the time I went to see a play at a local university about a composer (can't remember which one), and it just got sillier and sillier and at some point the actors weren't even trying not to giggle onstage. It was the best play I ever saw.

I would watch crack vids of Riverdale and then go see the episodes to see the weirdness.

[@heiresswilliams2809]

If this was a comedy show, this would be amazing

[@supermedafighter]

All I've gotten from this season is that 50s Betty is horny as hell and Archie is dim but sweet. It almost feels like the show got renewed for a final season but the writers had already done so many crazy sh*t that they don't know what to do as a send off for it. Man I am going to miss watching Alex slowly lose his mind each time a new season of this show airs as there's just something so special about these vids that never fail to make me laugh/smile.

[@awkwardotter13]

I might be remembering the comics wrong but i feel like horny Betty is accurate 😂

[@StueyTheWiz]

I agree with your take on Archie. He's definitely been the highlight of this season for me. Can't help but smile when he's on screen because of how goofy his character is. Alot better than fighting bears and Hiram lodge

[@akhsdenlew1861]

[@sarahquintas3285]

The comic panic is a reference to an actual comic book panic in the 1950s that led to multiple congressional hearings on juvenile delinquency and comics. The result was a number of publications shutting down, moving underground, or taking self censorship that made the Hayes Code look relaxed. Archie Comics was ironically one of the only companies to float by pretty much unscathed because it material was so light and fluffy. It was also the last publication to drop the Comics Code Authority censorship stamp…in 2011.

[@MilesEnstad]

I am honestly surprised that this show went on for as long as it did.

[@atuchukwumichael4498]

This season is totally unnecessary all the episodes so far has been pointless and plotless all they only do or talk about is sex

[@trinaq]

Me neither, the first season at least told a mostly coherent story, but afterwards, it just descended into chaos, like the writers were blatantly making things up as they went along.

[@fairielikescake]

The show should have had at least 4 seasons imo. They're dragging it😭

[@sumwhere08]

Let's be honest, if they didn't have an attractive cast and Cole Sprouse nostalgia it probably would have ended a while ago

[@renincuente3291]

@@trinaq Agree. And even season 1 was insufferable for me. I kind of watched most of the 3 or 4 first seasons just because were aired before what I really wanted to watch and not a single time became engaged, neither to the story nor to any of the characters

[@titch6618]

Betty's story sounds like its simply a retelling of the urban legend of the woman who refused to take her hair out of a bun and a black widow spider laid eggs in her hair and ate into her brain.

[@tigerlord9302]

It is. The entire episode was Jughead writing scary stories.

[@oppakunn328]

Now that you say it, I think Archie's story is also inspired by a folk tale of sorts about a guy whp becomes obsesed with a girl he sees in a painting

Alex teaching us that silliness is the key to surviving 7 seasons of Riverdale. Seriously, this feels like the puppet episode of Community mixed with Potter Puppet Pals. I love that the recap formats get more absurd as the show gets duller

[@nanaasmah938]

As someone who was a fan of the original Archie comics, I am so conflicted on this season. Cause like this was the Riverdale I wanted when it first came out years ago. This is the characterization I wanted, just in a modern setting. But after establishing themselves as their own thing and having their own ridiculous highs and lows, I accepted the new Riverdale for what it was…..only for them to give me the version I expected years ago in its final season??? I definitely prefer this version of the cast but it feels weird after seeing Archie stop a meteor with his abs.

[@jjfam777]

In the same boat. Loved Archiue in elementary school and this is what I thought the show was gonna be. Being given this at the tail end is like... why?

[@melbrooke280]

Oh my gosh these puppets are PERFECT to send off Riverdale! I have no idea if it’s more stressful or less stressful to dress up puppets and film them, rather than doing animation, but THANK YOU Alex, for the time and effort!

[@Aileil]

The "Big Ol' Red Flag" parade was something else to see in puppet form. XD

[@sincerelynotme3522]

I think the problem now is that we went through several seasons of Riverdale being off the wall insane and unhinged with it's writing and they choose now, the final season, to tone everything down and be normal 😂.

[@tigerlord9302]

It’s because they can act more like the classic versions in the 50’s setting. Might be a coincidence or planned.

I approve of Plushie Puppet Recaps and want more of it in other episodes 😆 Also, can't wait to see Riverdale end like Newhart and it was all a dream Dylan Sprouse had

[@tigerlord9302]

Cole Sprouse plays Jughead not Dylan. Dylan was retired from acting I believe, which is a shame because it would be neat if he played an alternate reality version of Jughead that they used instead of Cole. Or are you referring to a show Dylan did and I overlooked that?

[@KitsuneRokaku]

@@tigerlord9302 I know.... That's the joke 😉 I know Cole plays Jughead but maybe Dylan sees Riverdale as some fever dream, tells Cole and Cole just advises him to lay off the coffee or something 😆

Fun Fact: Cole Sprouse had just finished binge-watching The Twilight Zone (1959) when he auditioned, which inspired him to read his character's narration in the style of Rod Serling.

They proceeded to tell me some stories specifically about the actor K.J Appa (Archie) going into Granville, Vancouver to the bars, getting DAF and hitting on people's girlfriends because he is ''famous''; as a result the makeup department was well known for attempting to hide his black eyes.

I’m coming to the video late but I just gotta say I kinda love the psychiatrist being a blatant parody of Fredric Wertham. He was a prominent psychologist in the 50s who was avidly against comic books and got a lot of parents on board because of his book Seduction of the Innocent. This is what lead to comics self censoring and being video goofy during the 50s and 60s. While this hurt books like Batman, it’s actually what lead to the popularity of books like Archie in the first place.

[@claudiau2620]

I’m gonna be so bummed when this show is over I love these videos so much

Season 1 and 2 were so enjoyable to watch. After Season 3 it was a rollercoaster to hell but as the show went crazier the more I sympathized with the characters or rather the actors and actresses. I have a special place in my heart for Madeleine, Vanessa and Lili🥺 I really hope to see more projects from them (or hopefully some collaborations!) As Cheryl was my favorite character, I think she lost her "bite" with each season. I mean in the first two seasons she was this huge mean girl who went softer by the time to the point where she was this almost shy person? Oh boy and the last episode...I don't know how to feel about it but I just love the dynamic of the crew...

That was perfect. 😤) I don’t mind if a show doesn’t take itself seriously, as long as the writing can back it up. The one thing that I wish they did stick with was a paranormal series, were it _was_ taken seriously, with good writing, and writers.
