[@jasminethegrayknight]

I honestly wonder how a single human being can watch so many weird shows and still be able to function. Kudos to you Athena, I tip my hat to the champion.

[@heavenmoore6964]

I've watched all of these shows 🤣🤣🤣

[@Amy.Stewart]

Function is debatable

[@justinwatson1510]

They do a great job of "helping" kids whose moms try to pass themselves off as the sibling of their chidren.

[@kirby12crystals20]

Some tropes for the bingo board should be incest, irresponsible mother's, affairs, predators, unnecessary love triangles, and teenage pregnancies

[@lemonofcake]

I agree

[@ClowncoreisCool]

Every 2018 GLMM

[@xenithiidx819]

don't forget the younger/nerd sibling that goes to one party halfway through the show and changes their entire character in one episode

[@At0mic0la48]

This was the source for a lot of fanfiction

[@3MB3Rx134]

And a gallon of irony bc the writers don’t know what subtly is

[@fuzzbutt_avery]

Bingo 1. Problematic relationship 2. Irresponsible mother 3. overly sexualized teenage character 4. subpar lgbtq rep 5. Unusually calm reaction to crazy shit 6. Unnecessary love triangle 7. Cheating 8. Shitty friend

[@castform7]

I cannot tell a lie, I am not a fan of implied incest especially by blood as I assume most people aren't (whether true or not) but a show ending with 2 people glued to each other right after both of them figure out they *may* not be related with fireworks in the background right as both their partners who still think they're related come in to see them passionately macking on each other some of the most "looking at a car crash they can't look away from" faces I have ever seen is probably one of the (unfortunately for lack of a better word) hardest endings I've ever seen a show do. Legitimately, wtf.

[@AthenaPOfficial]

You summed it up PERFECTLY. That ending should not be iconic and yet it’s just incredible they went there

[@genericname2747]

Not being a fan of incest is the natural state of humanity. We're hardwired to not want to be with relatives.

[@clarehidalgo]

It isn't implied, as long as "the dad"'s name in on Ian's birth certificate, in the eyes of the law it is incest. Adopted siblings are treated as blood siblings in the eyes of the law

[@AMEMEaP]

@@clarehidalgo I don't think the dad's name is on her birth certificate though

[@pqcowboychanel]

This is why I hate the George Michael scenes in arrested development, like he’s played by Scott pilgrim, super bad, legendary actor Michael cera. And when the plot centers around his relationship with his dad it’s great.. when it’s centered around his cousin, Maebe it sucks.

[@purplepitbullpuppy5669]

Here's something for the bingo board: "Overly traumatic/extra for no reason." Maybe also "bad mom" "toxic relationship" "something not taken as seriously as it should be" 15:51 biggest cliffhanger ever

[@leafeon8956]

I think it should be "toxic/problematic relationship"

[@prcervi]

@@leafeon8956 i thought that was the free space?

[@DoloresFIshbarc]

As someone who’s never watched MTV, this sounds like a fucking nightmare thanks to Athena. Lovely makeup as always

[@ew6641]

As someone who almost exclusively watched MTV for drama shows, yeah. It is a nightmare. But that’s why I kept coming back

[@madnessarcade7447]

Not that bad it can be fun sometimes

[@hexinthelilypond4213]

Athena’s look in this video is honestly so iconic. The fluffy dress, the tiara, the makeup? *chef kiss* Exquisite

[@hearitcall]

It's hilarious to me that Katherine McNamara has stared in not one but TWO different shows with "did i kiss my sibling?" as a plot point.

[@Sweettransvestite-vx8zl]

Was the other the mortal instruments?

[@hearitcall]

@@Sweettransvestite-vx8zl yes it is!

[@nuckertix]

i feel like suburgatory would be a great show for camp or cringe. it fits perfectly in that era of sitcom/dramas that i definitely watched but couldn’t tell you a single thing about

[@PharaohOfTheDamned]

Yo it would! I forgot about that show!

[@twiggledowntown3564]

I watched bits and pieces of it.

[@IShy2]

I didn't realize the Yo Gabba Gabba plushies were gonna be permanent But I don't mind because it's funny when she's talking about something edgy and NSFW and you just see the kid friendly Gabba friends sitting right behind her, it's just funny to me Edit: Put "insest" on the MTV Bingo

[@_Unoffical_Norahhh_]

yes mx

[@bombseel]

The way this show's premise was an episode of good luck Charlie (the lead actor played Teddy's terrible boyfriend)

[@KaylaKasel]

Good Luck Charlie even had a theme park arc (with Spencer and Teddy working together playing a couple)

[@cosmik_koto]

At this rate, "underage drinking" should be the free space on the bingo board. 💀

[@lucasmarble2572]

Is it weird that she is making me want to watch weird tv shows that I'm DEFINITELY not the target demographic for? It looks like she's having way too much fun.

[@ellam5931]

absolutely unhinged and crazy that the brother was hiding a body and its never mentioned again? .... you'd think maybe that could come up again ...

[@atomicko]

Ideas for Bingo Card: "SURPRISE FAMILY MEMBER!" "Unconsensual Kissing" "Character's Main Trait is "Liar"" "Unrealistically Crazy Cliffhanger" "Plot Twist Never Happened" (Plot Twist: They're siblings! Plot Twist 2: They aren't siblings!)

[@iwakeupandboomimarat]

"wait we're actually siblings/cousins/parent and child/related" NEEDS to be on that bingo card i beg

[@thegayghost872]

MTV Bingo Board tropes: Abusive/neglectful parents, teacher/student relationship, cheating

[@notlaracheyenne]

the fact that this is a siblings or not show with the actress who plays clary in shadowhunters is hysterical

[@rachunicorn]

"Their mutual dad" had me crying laughing 😂

[@kattraction1973]

I'd never seriously ask Athena to do this, because holy CRAP would it be a major and arduous task, but this video made me think of what would happen if she ended up doing a lore video/series on Once Upon a Time. Mainly because of the dress (you look great btw Athena) and royal stuff.

[@bigfootsbreakfast]

i had never heard of these shows and i am so disturbed at the plot lines trying to justify innapropriate relationships

[@tornado5d267]

“A little wind never hurt anyone” she clearly doesn’t know that tornados can rip apart metal and concrete like they’re nothing

[@coastalshenanigans4413]

But that's not a little wind, that's alot

[@giorgiadiieso8641]

Things that always seem to be part of MTV shows -Question bisexuality -Bad mothers -Best friends being bad -The main character is selfish -An adorable ship that the show ruins -Several dramatic and traumatizing events played for laughs

[@caitlinabbott7895]

5:29 "Ey! I'm kissing your daughter here! Keep it down!" 6:48 (SpongeBob sad violin music) "Boo, MTV! Boo! Pay for my therapy bill!" 7:27 (Athena singing time) 8:55 "Wait, what! You're my sister!? But- you dropped you shoe... I should give it back to her- but no!- she's my sister! That's weird! Ugh, but she should still have her shoe, I guess... WAIT!" "Didn't you hear what I said!? Shoo!" "Exactly...here's your shoe" "Oh... Thanks..." "Yeah, no problem" (They almost kiss) "-NO! RIGHT! WAIT! SIBLINGS! SIBLINGS!" "YOU ARE MY BROTHER! YEAH! YOU'RE MY BROTHER! Oh shit, this is weird-" "Is that silly little sketch how Episode 3 opens? Let's see!" (Text reading HappyLand Episode 3) (Kurtis Connor's Blood Related) 10:48 "Will Will be willing to willynillingly throw punches again? Or will Will willfully wilt with sadness from the cheating/breakup?" 12:15 "Now he can attack people who don't deserve it looking like THAT! Yikes!" 15:33 "Hey, you better be nice to my secret crush you're going out with!" "Yeah, bud! You better be nice! That's my sister/ex-fling!" "I know guys! I- wait, what the fuck???-" 20:52 "It's pretty wild that they're related, right- AAAHHHHHH!!!!-"

[@hunterishomophobic]

[@isaac_is_unsure]

This show is like if Colleen Hoover wrote a show instead of a book

[@gumballfan13]

Trope suggestions for the bingo board: Liar third act breakup, stuff such as "You lied to me! You've been lying to me this whole time!" Sibling/Family character reveal Deadbeat dad and/or neglectful mom. Character saying "No one understands me!" Girl falling for the hot guy. These are just a few. I've got more.

[@mx.lilith666]

In all honesty, I would LOVE to be Athena’s friend. She’s gorgeous and hilarious, she ALSO WATCHES THE BEST AND MOST INTERESTING SHIT?!

[@Liam-tv7nb]

you should do a lore video on lalaloopsy lol

[@artzyyangel]

YES PLEASE i love lalaloopsies i still have my dolls

[@Arealhuman-gh7zk]

Seeing the mom in this show made me so sad that I called my mom just to talk

[@alanacrail3244]

I forgot about this show! It was so bad but at the time I watched because I really wanted to be a character performer at Disney lol

[@alanacrail3244]

Oh yeah the surprise incest wtf was up with that?

[@Mister_Dollz]

I’d love to see Athena make any type of video, about Pretty Little Liars because that show is bonkers.

[@purgatoryproductions310]

i don’t know why i get so surprised every time you make a kurtis conner reference. your senses of humour are so similar and yet it always catches me off guard.

[@livelollobotomy]

OH MY GOD ATHENA P IS MY FAVORITE DISNEY PRINCESS anyways ugh it is SUCH a delight to be aimlessly scrolling youtube just to see that upload notification come through like fuck YEAH

[@alicebthegachaweirdo8378]

I kinda want you to make a lore video on Foster’s home for imaginary friends

[@Drewski217]

I SWORE I watched at least one to two episodes of this show but couldn't remember its name and no one else remembered it so I half thought I hallucinated it LMAO I both need more of this show to rectify itself and feel glad we just got this brief moment of television LOL

[@bluejay8422]

No, but the same thing happened with me! I only watched one or two episodes, and then it was never on again. I thought I made it up!

[@tatyanarodriguez1561]

I love this series purely because it talks about shows I've never seen but heard about at school. The only show I can compare them to is the one from Disney that I still can't remember the name of, but my cousin and I were glued to the TV every time it came on.

[@elizabethwinifred9331]

the mental whiplash of knowing good luck charlie guy did this and god’s not dead in the same year

[@vee6372]

The love triangle trope for Bingo. Also, the good guy never gets the guy

[@tthewizard7667]

PLEASE KEEP REVIEWING OLD MTV SHOWS FROM THE 2010s!!!!

[@devonmunn5728]

I will be tuned In for them

[@MaeArt725]

Would love to see you talk about Teen Wolf in this series, at least the first season. Love your videos!

[@magicmike191v2]

14:04 Happy Land getting a bunch of Disney actors for this show is wild. That's Ross Butler he was in KC Undercover

[@somethings5852]

That guy who played Ian was also that guy in the 1st God’s not dead movie

[@kendelaigarner2174]

I want to take a moment to say this: Athena I love your princess costume. You look super cute. I love your makeup, your tiara, and your dress.

[@codyTHEEstallion]

imagine if i was in lucy's shoes. my fucking mom not only goes to work, doesnt get the groceries and doesnt do basic human things, but if i dont do what she says, she'll get mad when i talk to her about her lack of being a mother..?? like what????

[@nyiab]

This is like the trying to be quirky version of life with Derek🤔

[@pondsmelts]

I remember watching episode 1 with my sister and when the reveal happens we were both so uncomfortable. We were in total shock like “Did that ACTUALLY just happen…?” and we never watched the show again.

[@bobbanna6526]

A show that might be intreasting is Insatiable on Netflix. Sister use to watch it but from what I saw it was wild there was a demon possesion storyline and the Main Charecter like accidently killed a guy or something idr well.

[@AthenaPOfficial]

OMG YES I WATCHED INSATIABLE WHEN IT CAME OUT!!!!! Oooooo that would be PERFECT for this series

[@CalicoWithWings]

The mascot scares me.

[@hexinthelilypond4213]

*5:44* I see they pulled a “the mortal instruments”

[@Cxde_nxm3_xo]

I love how this is basically just disney meets gossip girl like im so down for it

[@PharaohOfTheDamned]

Bingo: Gay best friend Surprise gay best friend "Cool" parents Inappropriate age relationship Break up to make up

[@TheLeaphia24]

I was so upset when I found out this show was canceled 😭😭 I hate shit ends on a cliffhanger

[@devonmunn5728]

Yeah I don't watch new shows for that reason unless it's a miniseries

[@devonmunn5728]

Plus cliffhangers have also become kind of overused

[@nathalia2448]

I'm so grateful for this channel cause some of these shows felt like a feverish dream

[@RainIsVibin]

I enjoy this series, it's funny to see reality TV entirely too broken down.

[@bettername1973]

Me when Athena posts literally anything 💖✨🤩😍🥰

[@margaretrojas3002]

Can you talk about the MTV movie ‘My Super Psycho Sweet 16’? I just realized that literally no one talks about this!! It came out in 2009. I was literally a child (8/9 yrs old) and stayed up to watch it and it’s sequels 🤡☠️

[@thenarrator6846]

Haven't finished the video left, but my musical theatre brain screamed when you mentioned Josh Groban Love your content!

[@dokiepkosa]

Ooh, ooh. Did you ever watch Hindsight? That show was so good and ended on a cliffhanger before it got canceled after season 1 😭😭😭

[@Jojo_Ojo_14]

Okay👏🏾 Fairy 👏🏾 Princess 👏🏾

[@crystalforetia5617]

You just unlocked a core memory for me. I remembered Faking It. I remembered Finding Carter. I even remembered Awkward when I didn’t even watch it. But I did NOT remember Happyland, despite watching it. Thank you for undoing my psychological repression 😂

[@worknotinprogress7172]

As someone who's witnessed both videos, they're both really funny and entertaining. Also I've had the song from the alien movie one stuck in my head and have listened to it on repeat since then. But on a more related note, Happyland seems like it was the easiest to get through from the characters being a little less problematic a little less often than the other shows that were covered. That ending probably broke people's brains though lmao

[@Mudkip-qf4cw]

Now this may be too specific, but I think a trope could be "2 boys fighting over the same girl and that girl fiddles around with both"

[@Jman64110]

Thank you so much for bringing this show up. I fully thought I was the only one who watched it cause it was cut and no one talked about it

[@MaxEverywhereSystem]

for the bingo we cant forget character that shows up at the beginning but then magically disappears

[@mchjsosde]

Bingo board request: two characters (that don't like each other)interested in the same person.

[@Sir.chaotic-posssum]

CoUnTrY bOy CoUnTrY GoRl WhAt tHe fU-

[@devonmunn5728]

Also funny coincidence that Athena mistook Bianca A. Santos for Camila Mendes for each other since both share Brazilian heritage. A show with them as half sisters (as Bianca Santos also has Cuban heritage) would be cool

[@thisurldoesnotexist]

There's a bunch of Nickelodeon shows thet were absolutely wild that I feel like nobody ever talks about bc they weren't tied to iCarly One of my underrated faves is called The Other Kingdom and it's about fairies and i think it would be the perfect candidate for Camp or Cringe

[@nct96]

10:55 the audio you used here is GENIUS.

[@delycan4912]

The Ian actor went to youth group as a leader. One day, he said he was going to Hollywood and then he just dipped lmao

[@clarehidalgo]

The thing is even if they aren't blood related, if "the dad"'s name is on Ian's birth certificate in the eyes of the law they are siblings. Adopted siblings are considered related by blood in the eyes of the law

[@Fayesnotthatcool4398]

WOOO A NEW VIDEO

[@CharlieSimmer27]

i've never heard of this show, but i watch all your videos so i'm excited to learn about it :)

[@jace2088]

If I had a dollar for every show starring Katherine McNamara in which two characters think they're siblings, are still into each other, find out they're fake siblings, and end up together - AND every show where Shane Harper's character is cast as Prince Charming at Fake Disney, causing awkward romantic tension between him and the main girl, and ending with them rekindling their relationship - well I'd only have 4 dollars, but that's weird right?

[@BradleyBoy]

Irresponsible parents and responsible teens go!

[@EmpathNaga]

I hate to say it but there have been Harvard studies that siblings that were raised apart from each other and introduced in adulthood *[NOT LIKE THIS MTV PAY FOR OUR EYEBLEACH]* have a _freakishly_ high chance of developing romantic feelings for each other.

[@swampstar]

I nominate "Surprise, I'm Your Real Parent" trope as a bingo square

[@Amelia_H-A]

I love your dress in this one! I think you've worn it in other videos too but this is the first time I really noticed it, it's so pretty and it really suits you!

[@servantofwrath7370]

I know this isn't a Lore video, but I'm *surprised* you never covered Johnny Test. That show SUCKED, but the lore *could* be interesting! Where does the whip crack sound come from...

[@Mister_Dollz]

I have to be completely honest here, Happyland feels like it should’ve been at least a 26 episode season, but MTV only granted them 8 episodes, so they had to cram a season long story into those 8 episodes, so everything seems rushed because they would’ve been more fleshed out of the season was longer.

[@savanahbraxton1695]

I love the MTV series! please keep doing these!
