"Duct tape" is a neologism. It WAS originally "duck tape," so-called because when applied properly, it was moderately water-proof. Water slid off like a duck. Duck tape. It was originally a military-grade tape. When it moved to the civilian market, people couldn't BELIEVE it was called "duck tape," so they came up with the "duct tape" name (which actually made little since, as it was just okay at best on metal). Eventually, as in the last 20 years or so, people HAVE created genuine "duct tape," that works much better on metal, and are much more likely to call the original "duck tape."

[@pyros6139]

Actually, it came from "duck" as in a cloth fabric, like a sail.

My favourite part of this episode is that Mabel did not need time travel to cheat to guess the pigs weight, she got that right from the get go, in other cartoons that would have been the sub plot, but here she earnt waddles fairly.

​@VidsfromBelring Way worse? What had Robbie done before this episode? No, seriously. Meanwhile, Dipper *stole his bike* and nearly ruined his chance with someone he's known longer than Dipper. I sympathize with Dipper, knowing he's pursuing something he shouldn't. Not because she's too old for him, but because he's too young to handle a relationship with her. Which is why he does asinine things to get with her.

Fun Fact: The creator of Gravity Falls, who also voices a sizable chunk of the characters, based off Dipper and Mable from him and his sister. His sister also always wanted to have a pet pig and stated she'd name it Waddles if she ever managed to have one.

[@sunkenobi1501]

Exactly.

[@ViewerOnline101]

Alex Hirsch said that Dipper's problem with Wendy is that he sees her as a prize to be won rather than a person, and he treats her as such. At that age, it's kind of understandable, because you're not really emotionally mature enough, but yeah, it's an ongoing character flaw of his.

[@couragew6260]

I think Dipper over complicated the situation with his time travel. He could have asked Wendy to Throw. He could have prepared for the black eye with a bag of Ice, and say he felt hot before the accident. But because he wanted things to go perfectly, he kept trying, and ruined Mabel’s happiness in the process.

[@Wendeta-hq2cp]

Dude could have just gone further back, let Mable get Waddles, and then rope her into his plan. Upon later watchthroughs this episode feels forced in order to have the lesson be learned.

[@jonmercano1138]

Madame, please. Mr. Waddles was his father. Here’s a wild idea for Dipper. When the ball is coming back, have her duck, or push her out of the way. You can actually see Blendin picking up the stuff in those episodes

[@Blahblah97555]

I also used to call duct tape duck tape. Eventually my friend corrected me and I said it correctly for a year. However, what really messed me up was that a year later I saw duct tape in the store, with its packaging for the first time, and it was from a brand called “Duck Tape”. I was convinced for years after that that my friend had been wrong, and it was actually called duck tape.

[@SebastianWeinberg]

1:08 - *“I used to call duct tape ‘duck’ tape, as a kid. Like 🦆; that kinda duck.”* That's what it was originally called. It took its name from the strengthening fabric that makes part of its construction, namely duck cloth, a.k.a. cotton duck. Apparently some people didn't know this and simply wouldn't believe that this was its real name. "Why would you call it 'duck' tape? That sounds silly! It must be 'duct' tape; yeah, that sounds more sensible." And somehow that stuck - despite the fact that "duct" tape is _terrible_ for using on ducts! Never use duct tape on ducts; it's the completely wrong tool for the job.

[@IliyaMoroumetz]

Fun fact: Alex Hirsh has also been a collaborator with Matt Chapman, one of the guys who made Homestar Runner. I know it's not entirely connected to Gravity Falls, but as a long time fan of H*R, you can see it's DNA throughout this show with how strange it can get, in the best way.

[@jacobbondurant7186]

Oh, you have only scratched the SURFACE of the awesomeness of this show. The writers planned so far ahead, you can even backtrack to see Blendin in those respective scenes he showed up in - “AH SEEEN IT!!!” the Wax Stan interview, and the gnome battle.

I grew up at a time where spoilers for this show were basically inevitable, so it's always surprising/wholesome to see people react to it for the first time, with no idea of the insanity that awaits them.

[@xXEndeadXx]

Gravity Falls and Rick and Morty actually have a number of references between each other, to the point they are all but officially in the same (multi)verse.

[@Blacktoothoneil]

1:30 it’s actually BOTH, It was originally invented for the military during ww2 and was colored green, so soldiers started calling it Duck Tape (it didn’t have a name yet), then when the war was over they brought back that name for it, then companies wanted to make their own version of Duck tape, but the original company had already copyrighted the name, so they started calling it Duct Tape. So it’s technically both, but Duck Tape came first lol.

[@scalyvaporeon2232]

Blandin is Voiced by the guy who does Morty! When I heard his voice, I was like "WAIT! is that....?" Then I saw the credits and I was like: "THOUGHT SO!"

[@ComicIssue97]

Time Baby was actually referenced in the previous episode. If you read the Northwest Cover-up document, it briefly mentions him, among other things. Also Blendin is voiced by Justin Roland.

[@rufusmorris9160]

The last scene, “that’ll do pig” is a reference to “Babe”

[@anothermiddleschoolburnout8816]

"He sounds like Morty" It's really funny you say that.

"I used to call it Duck Tape, not Duct Tape as a kid." I mean... Duck is a brand of Duct Tape. And even had a picture of a Duck in the packaging. So I feel like MOST kids would make that mistake. I know I did. 😅

Alicia: "You don't become a decent person until you're 20." Ha! Jokes on you! I was shitty until I was 25! So there!

[@JoshuaDMarti]

Mabel is a very impopular character in the show. She has as many haters as she has fans and for most of it I think that hate is justified, EVEN if she is a 12 yeats old, but that's a whole 'nother can of worms. Except for this episode lol. Many people get mad at Mabel in this episode and call her selfish because she wasn't able to let go of a pig she met that day and was depressed about it instead of being happy for her brother's business with Wendy, and she definitely doesn't deserve such hate. This episode boils down to: Mabel won a pig, fair and square, while Dipper wanted to manipulate time just so he could enhance his chances with Wendy. It was obvious from the start who was the twin that had to let go what they wanted (aka, the one that didn't earn it fairly) Sure, making Mabel be depressed for at least 1 month and a week over losing an animal she only met that day may be overkill tbf. But still, she did earn her right to be the one that keeps what she wanted.

[@Kirbyman1223]

As a guy who was decent due to trauma at 15 and never had a girlfriend before highschool I feel sad

[@heeman1203]

This episode is one of many that makes a large portion of the fandom dislike or even hate Mable. I don’t, but it’s understandable to not like seeing Dipper always be the one who has to give up on his shit and admit he was wrong and get punished by the story when both of them act selfishly.

[@andco53]

There are later episodes where that argument has a little bit of ground, but I'll never understand it for this one. Mabel won Waddles fair and square the first time round. Dipper had to mess with time-travel multiple times and still only got what he wanted by having Mabel sacrifice her shot at getting Waddles, after which he won't even return the favour? And even if he HAD succeeded at the ball toss game he still most likely wouldn't have had a shot romantically with Wendy. I can understand that perspective for, say, Sock Opera, but not this one

[@gaskinforeman303]

This kinda is needed to set up the really good sock puppet episode later.

[@johnnycripplestar5167]

Ok but he'd be sending Wendy to jail with those decisions. And even worse, Waddles would be with Pacifica!

[@i_think_i_am_lost]

The craziest thing in this episode is that Dipper going back over and over is an unhealthy obsession. Wendy isn't into him, but he REFUSES to accept "no" as an answer. Any grown person at a bar doing that would look like a manipulative little creep for harassment. I never understood how so many could sympathize with the Dipper in this episode.

[@gaskinforeman303]

@i_think_i_am_lost because he's a kid who understands it's important to try, but doesn't understand the concept of rejection yet.

[@theinimitablejora522]

I’m pretty sure every kid called it duck tape. Or at minimum that’s the word that came out of our mouths instead of “duct”

[@SebastianWeinberg]

27:19 - *"Awww! ‘That'll do, Donkey. That'll do.’ ”* That's a case of _Gravity Falls_ and _Shrek_ both referencing the same source, namely _Babe_ (1995). "That'll do," is Farmer Hoggett's habitual praise for his sheepdogs, and at the climax of the movie, after Babe proves that a pig can herd sheep just as well, he uses the exact same words as Dipper.

[@JHayes-lh7uv]

Thanks for being one of the only people who watch this show to care about Wendy’s autonomy. Most people feel bad for Dipper and think he sacrificed something so Mabel could get what she wanted. Nobody cares about what Dipper was trying to do and how it was weird and manipulative from the get go. Not even the show it seems since that’s not the focus of the lesson of the episode for some reason.

It's not that nobody cares what Dipper is trying to do, it's that many people are looking at what he's trying to do as if he was one of those 30 year old incel nice guys when really he's 12 and has a crush. This is totally expected behavior from a young kid, just starting puberty, with zero dating experience. What he is doing is wrong yes, but it's not outwardly malicious nor does he have the wisdom to realize he's wrong. Don't get me wrong, he IS in the wrong THIS episode. Many people just toss this episode in with the rest that end with Dipper giving up something for Mabel's selfishness, which is a recurring theme in later episodes, even though this time it's completely justified. Man that got really long, sorry to word bomb you comment lol😅

[@JHayes-lh7uv]

@@DraconianBSno problem, nothing wrong with discussion. I don’t know what circles you’re in, but I’ve never seen people address Dippers actions in this episode negatively. At least not in comparison to Mabel’s. For some reason, even if Dipper does something wrong, Mabel’s the one who ends up getting the most hate. If you need evidence the first reply to my comment is literally “Umm but what about Mabel???” I think the main issue is with the episode itself. Dipper never has to address that what he’s doing is wrong for Wendy’s sake as well as Mabel’s.

[@toxic_tomb1238]

1:10 to be fair, when you're a kid, its not like you're out buying your own duct tape, theres just almost alway a roll somewhere around the house, so you never get to see the packaging say duct tap, and it doesnt help that there is a brand of duct tape that has a duck on it, so for a kid thatd be confusing since you already thought it was "duck tape" and there is a pucture of a duck giving you that affirmation.

01:08 According to Wiktionary, "duck tape" possibly came first, with duct tape coming later as a corrupted form. The "duck" it refers to is a type of tightly woven fabric called duck, and the fact that the outer layer is waterproof. _Duct_ possibly spawned from people forgetting duck's other meaning and assuming that it was named after duct work; something a heavy duty tape would be good for.

There’s two Mortys that look suspiciously like Dipper and Mabel, and Justin Roiland himself was the voice of Blendin Blandin. Between Owl House, Amphibia, Simpsons, Rick & Morty and Phineas & Ferb, Gravity Falls has a lot of connections. I’m genuinely shocked Regular Show and Adventure Time don’t have clear cut references/correlations to Gravity Falls too, given Alex is decently chummy with their creators too.

[@jacobblackmon5525]

Funny that you mention Rik and Morty. There is a connection. Both shows ran at the same time. And the creators are fans of each other's show. There is one particular scene with a portal where some things get sucked into it. Then, in the other show, those same items get thrown OUT of a portal. So that's a fun little cross-over.

[@Cookiesandcreamss]

I’m so glad Alicia has a good take on this episode. Like Mable isn’t being selfish. Dipper actually is- Mable won Waddles far in square and while Wendy isn’t a prize to be won Dipper was treating her like she was one. I’m really getting tired of the whole “Mable is a bad/selfish sister” When a lot of times the problems Dipper has are the ones he makes himself! And that’s okay he’s 12 but so is Mable!

[@D_YellowMadness]

Yeah, especially in this episode. If Dipper got his way, he'd still not get Wendy, Robbie would be even more pissed at him, Waddles would be abused or eaten by the Northwests, & Mabel would be depressed. There's literally no upside. Plus all Mabel did was be depressed. I once saw a commenter try to argue that Mabel was just going to the pillar to bang her head on it whenever Dipper comes around because he said the times out loud & she wanted to manipulate him into letting her have Waddles. Even though vines were growing around her feet & Soos was leading a tour to see Mabel because she'd basically become a landmark. Any excuse to hate a 12-year-old girl.

[@solacee4327]

1:15 there was a duct tape brand with a duck logo so i thought it was duck tape too 😂

More than a reference, it's pretty much confirmed that Gravity Falls and Rick & Morty share the same multiverse. Watch closely for the episodes that involve portals.

I watched the Red Green Show with my dad, he let it slide that i kept calling it Duck Tape.

Mabel, Alicia and let me just chYep pretty much everyone to Waddles: "I only known you for a few minutes but if anything were to happen to you I'd murder everyone here and then myself"

[@SHP4Life]

I mean Mable did had multiple times to spend time with Waddles to make a bond.

[@possessedpicklejar4762]

Yeah I called it duck tape too. I think that was the name of the tape brand, so that only served to confuse my young brain more.

idk man, I think is kinda sad that Pacifica actually tried to get a pig but Waddles wouldn't even go with her. Poor girl actually made an effort to get pet as a friend and even it didn't want to be around her.
