An appropriately unhinged recap of Gossip Girl (Season 2)

[@keghan4824]

The fact that this show has multiple instances of Blair dating a royal who pretends to be a commoner to see if she likes him for the real him and she fails the test then tries to win him back when she learns the truth is so funny to me.

It would’ve made more sense if it was Jenny in my opinion, she was rarely on the gossip girl posts and like she always knew the gossip, plus she’s so crafty and would do anything to climb the social ladder so it makes sense, meanwhile Dan pretends not to be into any of the gossip like he’s above it all

[@Bluelink13]

I just love that inbetween everyone living for the Drama Eric just, exists. Like he got through therapy, got himself a questionable boyfriend last season but the one from this one is like, his endgame, and in general is just living his best life. Truly the winner out of the GG cast

I know Mike is not the one who started this long-form recap trend and even though more and more people are doing these kinds of videos recently, Mike's impeccable blend of season/episode analyses, memes, trivia, pop culture references, music playlist, creative twists (GG magazine covers) and his own brand of humor (The loft?! The Brooklyn poverty loft?!!) makes me come back to his videos over and over again. The replayability is insane. It's not just watching a random youtube vid; it's an entire (Mike'sMic) experience. As a 30+ year old man who never watched any of these shows when I was younger, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Top-tier entertainment. Keep on doing what you're doing. We live for these. You're very underrated (less than 1M subs?? How?). Side-note: I know the girlies will go absolutely feral if Mic made a patreon and post behind the scenes and early access vids there.

[@nekopunch9081]

They really carried the show and made it the it drama it was. Wouldn't have continued watching without them. Their growth together was good and he never tried changing her unlike the other guys she was with. I don't think a tv couple needs to be healthy but that's just my opinion.

Literally same. This is the only thing calming me down when I have an exam in 2 days

Real

[@laurajaynenolan2149]

I know you probably feel like you’re running out of steam but be gentle with yourself and keep going, exams aren’t forever. You just have to knuckle down for a little longer. Don’t stress too much, you can always resit but it’s better to do your best first time around. Hope this helps! -sincerely, a junior doctor (also treat yourself to plenty of snacks and stay hydrated).

Eric was too good for this show he didn’t want a part in ANY of that drama and I respect him for that 💅

[@BRiGHT-CHilD]

Honestly, Eric and Dorota were the best and morally right characters on this show.

[@meddie5086]

@@BRiGHT-CHilD Didn't Eric team up with J?

[@MissNoechen]

Hahaha wasn't the rumour originally that Eric was gossip girl? Because then he's not part of, but the literal source for half the drama

[@noraeable]

I forgot just how wild the relationship roulette was in this show. Can't wait for the rest cuz I stopped watching after S2 when I too went off to college. I remember learning about the final reveal of GG, and thinking, "That makes no sense."

[@jonathonsharpe135]

The recaps of these 2000s-2010s shows have really shown me how I never even noticed how many were sleeping with children, like what the hell were the writers/producers thinking!

[@BRiGHT-CHilD]

It's scary cause that was an actual thing in culture as well at the time. You'd hear of older guys dating teens and no one batted an eye. See: Lindsay Lohan and Hilary Duff.

[@cgm530]

blair and carter were together for less than one episode and the impact they had on my brain... so unmatched

[@qaisarasanchez2633]

NAH FR!! idk if it's bc the actors dated in real life but their chemistry was amazing and i would've loved to see more scenes of them together.

[@judasjk]

hearing the phrase "he purchased an apartment between columbia and nyu" is so funny because thats like saying an apartment between the upper west side and lower east side. like that could be anywhere in a 100 block stretch of manhattan... the midpoint is literally in central park does he live in the zoo with the penguins

[@rilesfomiles8662]

I forgot how quickly the show went absolutely off the rails. Iconic

[@maya7601]

the funniest thing about gabriel always abruptly ditching plans with serena is that she met her I have to go match lmao

[@AmandaDavis6130]

Mass Effect levels of “I should go”

[@meh426]

Lily had an absolute SLAY moment baggin THE Trent Reznor.... Girl just gets more and more mother as the shows goes on xoxo

[@CaliVMK]

The Vitamin Water promo worked. Me, at 13/14, def was like “mooooommmmm. I’m not ur little gurl anymore. I NEED Vitamin Water on the next grocery trip”

[@lld112600]

Mike, your Serena impression kills me. You’re a legend forever for these. Slay.

[@JanineKeyes]

Jenny being unhinged is THE BEST part of season two and I cannot be deterred otherwise

[@sarapineda9996]

Lily sleeping with Slash is so random 😭but iconic. Good for her

[@TacticusPrime]

And Trent Reznor, the Nine Inch Nails guy. She definitely has a type.

[@sarapineda9996]

@@TacticusPrime Rock guys, she’s just like me fr

[@luinetmelendez2440]

I feel like we are not appreciating enough the LEVEL of SLAY that we've been given by the TUMBNAIL alone!

[@georgelister4866]

Very different vibe but all the family tree talk has shown me I need a mikes mic unhinged recap of Once Upon a Time

[@sarahsmiles4607]

I’ve never watched Gossip Girl, but I’d much rather watch you explain it with your quick wit and humor. My short attention span when it comes to watching shows thanks you immensely ❤

[@definitelynotashark1799]

Oh my god I can't believe Mike's serving up another recap of a series I've never seen or cared about but will absolutely watch fully even though I'm already way past my bedtime. Thank you for your service 💖

[@nonabonn]

these videos are honestly iconic. There is not a single beat that lacks absolutely insane comedic timing

[@veronicamauri3637]

Bestie when is S3/S4 gonna drop I have rewatched S1/S2 an embarrassing amount of times 😅

[@lexi6878]

it's been 13 years and i'm still amazed that gossip girl is one of maybe 5 tv series to have a passover episode.

[@SuzER08]

Fr more passover episodes on tv please! you get to have a classic large group dinner setup plus you can model storylines/themes after the story of passover

[@HorrorDiva01]

The rugrats also have one so idk what the other's TV shows excuses are!

[@lexi6878]

@@SuzER08 that's the ideal but also definitely not what's going on here lol, "sedar party" is an accurate description of that episode.
