Stranger Things 1x7 'The Bathtub' | First Time Reaction

[@jawbone78]

I love this episode. Jonathan finds the boys because of how well he knows and paid attention to his brother, Nancy and Mike relate to each other for possibly the first time ever, Steve turns face, Hopper beats the shit out of more agents. Joyce gives Eleven the first motherly affection she's ever experienced. They just killed it with great character moments in this one.

[@freeheeler00]

Yeah, this is when they all finally come together. It's pretty epic.

[@jawbone78]

@@t3hi84n2g yes, forgot to mention that one!

[@lilianecaroline5]

The "Kiss him! Make it weird, make it weird!" really got me LMAO 😂😂😂

[@0.obooface]

Kiss him, make it weird needs to be on a t shirt,. With maple and Arianna's screenshot on the front of it and Steve and the freckled ginger kid on the back 😂

[@QuaziInc]

You are in sync with the fandom. There was a whole hashtag about Justice for Barb that happened because she got killed so unceremoniously when this aired.

[@TrentRidley]

The fact she was there for Nancy, just trying to be a good friend, played a big part in the sense of injustice people felt too I think. I feel like the creators probably didn't expect that to resonate with the audience to the extent that it did which is why her death was written so unceremoniously. I think she was meant to be more or less a throw away character, but they felt the need to make her "disappearance" a more pivotal element of the plot in Season 2 following the audience response to Barb in Season 1..... or I could be wrong and it was all planned that way from the very beginning. 🤷‍♂

[@joshuamejia8775]

"upper lip real estate" 😂💀

[@mamaseesa3122]

I love it when reactors notice how Joyce is being the support and the mother that El has never had before and it makes all the difference!!

[@chand911]

yeah it so subtle...

[@jjc5871]

Because it’s so hard to pick up on??

[@marcellosanchez7513]

11:44 has got to be one of my favorite moments lmao, "loot, loot, loot.... t-bag, t-bag, run away" i was dying laughing hahahaha.

[@TrentRidley]

Same, I had to pause whilst I regained my composure.

[@tightyellowshorts]

"Loot, loot, loot t-bag!" - greatest comment ever.

[@TrentRidley]

So funny I had to pause the vid whilst I regained my composure.

[@spazzout1k350]

😂😂

[@Uzkodas]

I love how Hopper just “Indiana Jones” his way through situations.

[@RickLeMon]

Winona Ryder just kills it. 6:12 gets me every time

[@mcdazzleful]

"Make it weird. make it Weird. MAKE IT WEIRD!" lololol i need that on a t-shirt #alwaysblue

[@kaylzshter6153]

I love Mr. Clarke. Best damned TV teacher ever!

[@JohnnyBNerdy]

Science Teacher Mr. Clarke is a legend

[@jerodast]

I love that Dustin knows how to play him too haha. If he just charges in with the science stuff he can't help but get into it. To be fair I'm not convinced his date seemed that into _The Thing,_ maybe the night was already going downhill :P

[@G1NZOU]

Joyce going full mom mode when it comes to Elle is wonderful to see.

[@9TrixieTurner6]

Mr. Clarke the rizzler, he really is the goat of this show right up there with my boy Steve.

[@jaron91]

Winona Ryder has had a long, amazing career...but this role is her magnum opus. She's just fantastic.

[@bhelliom3]

I feel like a ton of people recognized her true talent in this for sure, myself included. I’ve never paid attention to her acting specifically before this, and all the acting in this is stellar but she’s a standout.

[@pirwzy]

This reaction series is the reason I look fkrward to Mondays. Same for Breaking Bad and Tuesdays. Love it!

[@xdecroix]

this "loot loot run away" attitude is definitely that of someone who plays table top role playing games. TRY IT !

[@moonlitegram]

lol the t-bagging moment

[@jacksquat7850]

at this point they gotta explain to her what it means

[@JohnnyBNerdy]

Steve Redemption Arc began once he ditched those two assholes (who played those roles phenomenally; excellent acting lol)

[@Decepticore13]

Not Maple out here telling everyone about that man’s downstairs mixup. It has become apparent that Arianna has never had baileys from a shoe and I feel like that is the reaction we all deserve to see.

[@xandercall9968]

Yes sir, thank you sir

[@tomaconn]

I wasnt expecting the Old Gregg reference 😂

[@Jymm]

Diegesis I love your shirt! Very clever that "Will" is printed UPSIDE DOWN !

[@Diegesis]

yeah i wanted to order them after they knew what the upside down was called but before the season was over lol

[@shaysworld1609]

i literally enjoyed you guys reaction! i loved how you guys didn’t get mad about lucas not liking el when literally all of them was questionable about her ppl seem to point him out more. thank you fr ! ppl never give him a break 🩷 my favorite series btw

[@neonoires]

This is one of my favorite episodes of Stranger Things in general. It's such a classic at this point and I always love when the entire squad links up.

[@ayaadthefriend]

Kiss him. Make it weird. Make it weird. They chanted. Damn I like you guys. You are hilarious.

[@Foxsterdota]

Yay! Another day of you guys feeling good watching this feel good show

[@monsoon1234567890]

Imagine working for someone like Dr. Brenner who smiles whenever one of your co-workers get tossed in a vehicle or squashed like grape.

[@hunterking8807]

She said “I’m so stressed!” Lmao just you wait. You got a couple more seasons so buckle up

[@shep4life]

That van scene is so awesome

[@sarahdyball5241]

Kiss him kiss him, make it weird make it weird make it weird I think that’s my fv part

[@BobTheSkull]

Agreed Tea bagging is in the natural order of things.

[@bhelliom3]

8:20 is why I love you two so much.

[@WillTaft]

"Tea bag. Tea bag." 😂😂 Fucking dead

[@Crazy_Diamond_75]

I love Joyce so much. Full of love and sensitivity, but firm with her boys when it comes to doing the right thing.

[@kingkazma30]

still not "feels good" about this show?

[@gingermanc98]

5:25 is that a mighty boosh reference?😂

[@thinman25]

11:45 "This is my hat, now! This is totally my hat!" ... Have they watched Hot Rod? They should watch Hot Rod. Edit: Arianna did, yay

[@Cassxowary]

if I were Karen, I’d have been like tell me what’s wrong as quick as possible and hide in the basement and I’ll get rid of them. They’re not coming into our house. also that reverse et… thank you, she wasn’t gonna wear that dress anytime soon anyway dustin repeatedly accidentally cockblocking everyone though 😂 “where are we gonna get that much salt?” reddit? mike’s “what? no! ew! gross!” aka yes 😂

[@JDBrockin]

NEXT EPISODE BABY! Great reaction, loving that you both are covering Stranger Things!

[@brownsey1]

Maple always gets me with The Mighty Boosh references haha!

[@peach-panther]

Steve was a heel for a lot longer I feel like when I first watched it

[@Diegesis]

funny, I was the other way. I remembered him being a heel for like 3 episodes but it's most of the season.

[@mudball35]

Love the “make it weird” chant

[@massdriverone7583]

Ahh the start of Mr. Clarke's Stud Saga Loves science, and pulling babes. What a man

[@TrentRidley]

And an amazingly supportive teacher/mentor. The guy has it all.

[@bhelliom3]

I would absolutely have a crush on that man IRL.

[@Fonny222]

Ah this episode takes me back to the crazy time when way too many people got mad and were in denial that they killed Barb off.

[@jerodast]

Everyone needs to appreciate the "Barb is still alive!" musical number aka Stranger Things rap from the Emmys!

[@LudusAurea]

I think you’ll love the later seasons now that you’re off of the “it’s a feel good” thing but you’ll see it also starts to be a feel good thing . This is standard 80s friendship bonding shit but over the course of the whole show. Can’t wait to see what the last season will bring.

[@Diegesis]

yeah they said they see the "feel good" comment more now that they're in season 2. i forgot how much more menacing season 1 was. it's been a while.

[@sarahwinters4771]

Make it weird! 😂

I love that you supported Lucas through his “hater” phase ❤

[@HerHollyness]

I love how Nancy and Mike are like “No more secrets” and then both immediately deny liking their crushes! 🤣 Ah, kids.

[@besh4652]

8:22 Tommy H’s actor actually played his character as if he had romantic feelings for Steve, so you’re not wrong

[@Elephant2024-wi2li]

Winona Ryder definitely delivers an Emmy Award worthy performance in this series.

[@DShipp85]

Did El unknowingly help the Demogogons find Will?

[@jerodast]

Oooh never thought of that. It seemed like the Demogorgon would always be close behind whenever Will made contact with Joyce. It can probably detect psychic connections between the planes.

[@DShipp85]

@jerodast Yeah, I thought once El found Will at his Castle Byers is when the Demogorgens found him, kuz she used a lot of power to find him.

[@bensbikex510]

You don't know the story yet so quit hating on the man with white hair. He hasn't even done anything yet that you can prove is nefarious. It's not so simple as him just being evil

[@Diegesis]

he abuses her in nearly every flashback and it's a show using writing tropes, not a real life courtroom, i don't need proof i just need to know storytelling.

[@jerodast]

And to be honest Brenner is like...UNNECESSARILY evil and slimy in his demeanor haha. He could be doing all the same experiments but show an ounce of regret for the people getting killed :P

[@pannonia77]

Take the experiment when Eleven should have hurt (killed) the cat. She was most uncomfortable, and finally decided not to hurt the cat. Brenner was annoyed and had two guards throw Eleven into the dark room for punishment. But when Eleven killed the two guards, he became a piece of cake, because Eleven proved that she can hurt not cats but people. That was important for him. He did not care for his employees who died because of him.

[@master72448]

Today first time I'am smiling.They killed Navalny. But they cant catch us. Thank you for reactionts.

[@ItsJustDoz]

Watch Rob Roy and Firefly the series (and movie) ❤

[@butt5326]

Such a great show season one reminds me of if Steven Spielberg directed something written by Stephen King

i don't think she helped it find will but i think she opened the portal that brought it to earth in the first place
