Ranking Every Episode of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Part 1: The "Worst"

[@KelseyHontz]

Hi all! Some notes: 1) yes, I gathered clips by pointing my phone at my TV because I don't know how screen recorders work. 2) for some reason, a lot of the clips got kind of piled on top of each other in the transition between iMovie and KZbin, so I apologize for some unclear cutaways! 3) I've been mispronouncing songwriter Adam Schlesinger's name, which I'll correct in Part 2.

[@visualsituation]

Please Please don't switch to talking to a camera instead of a voiceover. I love this style of a show video-essay, but when it's a person sitting there staring into the camera with occasional clips, I feel no desire to watch and it's so boring. Keep doing voiceovers please. Also thank you for pointing your phone at the TV for this, it was worth it and I enjoy the slight visual distortion on the screen because of why it's there.

[@melvasaiel]

Definitely agree that many of my least-favorite episodes are in season 4. The increase in episodes definitely makes it feel like there are some filler episodes. It's possible to love something as a whole, while also recognizing weak, silly, or even frustrating parts about it. I can't imagine trying to put all of these episodes in an order though....that's an impressive task.

[@KelseyHontz]

It took me weeks and weeks of consideration to put them in order! I still can't believe the Cats episode ended up so high on the list...

[@tatehildyard5332]

I definitely agree season 4 is the weakest of the group, but in addition to the potential dilemma of not knowing how to pivot for more ordered episodes, I think part of it is just a natural consequence of the show’s dramatic structure. The first 3 seasons were very tight and committed to a conflict driven plot progression that was pretty much wrapped up after Josh is Irrelevant. I mean, the “story” is more important than the plot and taking a more introspective approach to show Rebecca’s growth is an important part of the series’ journey, but without that central conflict engine, you can see where they had to start inventing little mini-conflicts to give Rebecca instances to show growth. You can even see this as far back as the later half of season 3 when they bring Trent back.

[@teresadefilippo1120]

"His status is preferred" was when i realized every paula song ever would always be a banger

[@justthecoolestdudeyo9446]

I appreciate the mini-analyses of each episode as you list them. I'm pretty bad at picking up the more subtle things the writers do, so I wind up looking at plotlines I didn't like very much with new eyes, and I think it makes your choices make sense.

[@KelseyHontz]

I'm glad you appreciate it! It was so hard to trim this script down to "mini" analyses instead of a five-paragraph essay for each episode lol

[@loislane7482]

You're absolutely right that it's just filler but 'I'm almost over you' is still one of the funniest episodes of the whole series to me, especially the whole BIG PRESENTATION scene.

[@KelseyHontz]

That is an excellent scene! I really like when Maya and Nathaniel both pull blankets over each other lol

[@blacknoisyblue]

This is also my favourite show, it's just SO GOOD. Also, as someone with BPD it was so refreshing to see my disorder represented so accurately but also with a level of compassion.

It’s such a golden example of a pointless song for a supporting character to sing while the leads take a break or change costumes. I think about it often!

[@germanfestivebread]

I love "I'm the villain in my own story" 🧙‍♀️

[@itisyerdad]

Season 4 was largely full of misses for me. I wasn't really into bringing Greg back as a different actor and while I think they gave a neat in universe reason for it, Skylar's portrayal just doesn't work for me. I think -- in general -- my personal enjoyment of the series diminishes a bit with each subsequent season. My favorite is season 1 and that's where I feel like the writing is sharpest and the premise is working the best. Seasons 2 and 3 are just way too short and the development for each character happens way too quickly and inorganically because of it. I think all of the seasons would have benefited most from being about 16 episodes long tbh.

[@KelseyHontz]

I think this is a very valid comment!

[@jessicaondrof4523]

I think Skylar had the cadence down that Fontana had put into the character but the chemistry just wasn’t there. Fontana was irreplaceable and I wish they just would have never brought the character back. I was really Hoping to see him in the live performances and while I’m glad they didn’t have Skylar perform any of Fontana’s songs man it suffered cutting them out because his are some of my absolute favorites 😢

[@JamesDeanRivera]

I agree. Santino fontana was better

[@myyoutubeaccount1493]

Think you were unfair on "i want to be here". I think it was meant to show that taking accountability doesnt mean needlessly punishing yourself. Its meant to be centered around other people, not you. It falls a bit flat because its an intentional anti-climax in order to make a point, which allows you to feel what rebecca feels and mirrors the process of trying to grow as a toxic person. I really resonated with it when i first saw it, so i love this ep. I also think it is thematically relevant to rebeccas journey because she often focuses on self harm of some kind when she feels bad rather than helping others. So i think this anti climax was really clever and meaningful. I agree about "whats your story" though! Great video x

[@KelseyHontz]

I respect your points! I just personally never want to see that episode again lol

[@thevampirecat]

as someone who watched the series 6 times and am on my 7th rewatch with a friend who is on her first... this list is pretty solid

[@KelseyHontz]

Ahaha thank you! I hope your friend enjoys it and doesn't think it's "too weird" lol

[@emiliamarkowska8961]

Ok, so actually Nathaniel's romcom episode is my favourite in the whole series and the one i've probably watched the most. It's a great parody of the genre and the karaoke song is, for me, really on point and catchy. Though of course, Nathaniel beeing my favourite character may be the reason xd

[@KelseyHontz]

That's totally fair! I do find myself singing "Gratuitous Karaoke Moment" all of the time lol

[@melissagola3786]

Plus the devil wears prada thing is pretty hilarious. I love that whole episode I kinda like how it's pretty standalone

[@plantagominor722]

I agree with the lower-ranked episodes, but also the songs from each of them are absolute bangers. Which tells you how good the show is.

[@zagorskaewelina]

Gosh, ok, I'm on my period, so maybe that is why but I literally started to cry when you talked about "Getting Bi". I tried to hint my newly-discovered bisexuality to my friends but no one seemed to get it. I'm 36 and have been in an opposite-sex relationship all my life but in the last couple of months I have been slowly realizing that I am definitely attracted to women, too. I guess that some "older" bi-people may have grown up thinking that they were straight just because we did not have much bi role models in media. Looking back at some of my teenage friendships with girls I realize they we crushes. To sum up - we need such representation as Darryl! Edit: One of my aha! moments on the self-discovery journey was watching Donna Lynne in "His status is preferred", so yeah :D

[@KelseyHontz]

Thanks for this comment!! That's why Darryl is so special-- he's just a middle-aged guy who gets to go on this journey of self-discovery :)

[@KelseyHontz]

Oh my gosh, hi!! I hope you like this CXG content because I have two more CXG videos coming out very soon!

[@alouise]

Great list. Something I noticed with The Group Mind Has Decided Your in Love is that the aspect ratio changes, which may be because of how the aspect ratios were for films of the day (not a film buff just a thought). But more importantly it narrows as it mimics the narrow-minded thinking the characters (and many audience members had) of White Josh and Darryl being together. I love that number even though I'll admit I wanted White Josh and Darryl to end up together.

[@KelseyHontz]

I live for this analysis omg

[@BrianaLynn7]

the callback to so many jokes in season 4 makes the season honestly

[@jesserivera2043]

I absolutely agree! Each call back joke was hilarious, and they sometimes make me think that this show is about Rebecca looking back on the last few years of her life. It certainly explains why characters have numbers without her there

[@Srose1]

I think Rachel Bloom confirmed that the season 4 episode count being increased happened quite late down the line - so explains why a few episodes feel like filler!

[@ericabrennan]

[@jesserivera2043]

I saw this video three times already, and one thing I realized that I haven't before is how White Josh is portrayed in the musical numbers. Rebecca didn't connect that much with him, and it's reflected in how awkward he looks. The only time it looks like effort was put into him was whenever he was beside one of the love interests. It really does support your theory on how Rebecca's imagination impacts the musical numbers

[@KelseyHontz]

OKAY this is fascinating!! Or like, Rebecca never even thinks about White Josh so he doesn't get a solo until the final season!

Okay I am watching this video after finding it on the CXG subreddit. I am LLLOVING this, your commentary is (albeit a bit harsh) very true and you make great points. I like the flow of your script and it's very easy to follow while doing something else, which is hard to accomplish, as a fellow writer! Loving this. HOWEVER, the fact that you didn't love "So maternal" was a travesty, lol! Easily one of my favorite songs in the entire show!! Update: I want to add that I agree with your comments about the almost-kiss between rebecca and darryl. Absolute, total, nuclear cringe

"I'm making up for lost time" was actually one of my favourite episodes and the one i rewatched most often exactly because it'a a filler episode! Great within the context of the show and where Rebecca is at mentally but removed enough from the main drama and plot that it makes for excellent rewatch material. I've also adored seeing Luca on ny favourite show, after having seen him in You and videos of Newsies. So you starting this "worst" ranking with one of my faves had me go "nooooo" at like 2am 😂

[@ladydiamond6611]

A lot of autistic cxg fans say that Rebecca is very clearly autistic coated. And as an obsessed fan myself, now I can't unsee it shining through her character. (eg. taking things literally, always the extreme action, very black and white thinking, hyperfixations on west covenia, lack of social ques etc) Curious about what you think?

[@KelseyHontz]

That's really interesting! I'm not sure since I don't have a huge depth of knowledge about autistic traits or how autism compares to BPD with differences in thinking or behavior-- I'd love to hear from some other commenters about this!

[@izzi8845]

BPD has comorbidities with ADHD 20%-40% of the time. ADHD has comorbidities with ASD ~90% of the time. It's very common for women to get a BPD misdiagnosis because feminine ASD/ADHD symptoms are extremely similar to BPD symptoms. Not to mention when CPTSD and ADHD/ASD mix, it looks absolutely similar to straight up BPD. I'm a diagnosed borderline who wonders if they have ADHD/ASD with CPTSD and hyper focuses on information gathering.

Dear god the cats episode . . . it made it hard to appreciate that this was the most WhiJo focus since he was dating Daryll

[@DeeplyTrivial]

While I agree with many of your observations, and even when I disagree still respect and understand your rankings, for "Oh, Nathaniel, It's On" - while Nathaniel definitely refused to rehire and also fired Rebecca because she dumped him, he does have a leg to stand on in that 1) she resigned and 2) even if she can prove her resignation was not her own idea nor was she in her right mind to make such a decision, she no-showed at work for a very long time. So even if Rebecca brought a wrongful termination suit (which would probably be the most logical action here), he could still probably prove that he had justification to fire her. Just nit-picking. Love your video (and also LOVE THIS SHOW!)

[@KelseyHontz]

I will accept this nit-pick!

[@hanna2850]

Pretty interesting to hear "What's your story" from another perspective. It shows Rebecca to be indeed out of touch of reality of these other women, and indeed makes Rebecca incredibly annoying after filling our hearts with love. This can feel this way if you have no complains about Rebecca till then on this topic. As a woman of color that came from generational poverty, I always found Rebecca annoying for how clueless she was about her class and racial privilege (remember how she used to talk to people who asked her for money on the street, a scene from earlier seasons? Her mocking response "I have money, i made it by working!") To me, it was satisfying to feel this addressed even if only 1% of the audience is smart enough to get it. To those who don't get it, there's a good call out that comes towards Rebecca from Valencia that explains what's wrong exactly with the behaviour that the Prison Tango is making fun of. It was satisfying to see, especially coming from Valencia. Got no other comments, just wanted to bring a perspective from a different social background. loved your video!

[@zyxwut321]

The first couple seasons were magic, the middle seasons kind of muddling and confusing, and it rebounded some near the end of the series, though it still could be uneven. However, taken as a whole it was still one of the best comedies so far of the 21st century. The premise was genius and many of its songs were instant classics. I am very much waiting for the Broadway adaptation. I haven't heard much from Rachel Bloom since the show, I know she got married and became a mom so she's probably busy with life but I hope to see her again soon in another juicy role like this.

I keep bringing myself back to this video, because it's that good, and hence another comment. One thing I noticed about the episode with Rebecca's friends moving on is that they all went on to do things that Rebecca herself did at an earlier age, like moving across the country or pursuing a career. I'm glad it was her therapist that helped put things in perspective, but I can also see commentary on not comparing yourself to others, especially given how Rebecca already reached those milestones but was too myopic to notice.

The cats episode is waaaay UP! I would have ranked 202 or less. Other than that, I agree. Nevermind, I just got to "tell me I'm ok Patrick" and I disagree with all

[@KelseyHontz]

lmao that is apparently my hottest take!

[@marinamontane-ov8pg]

I would like to be able to watch this series as if it were the first time. Ps : child star and the hole episode the best for me. This series is in my top ever. 💜( los simuladores , argentina / Crash Landing on You 🇰🇷better call saul / crazy ex G. )

[@scribbleshrimp]

Awesome video

[@booksbymarbles8168]

Don't ask me to explain why cause I couldn't give a good reason why but I love the Halloween episode in season four, I Am Ashamed. It's one of my favorites! If I'm going to watch a random episode that's one on the list that I'll be picking from.

[@lulairenoroub3869]

I don't blame season 4 for being season 4. The middle of final seasons are often pretty rough. There's that weird point where you're sort of stuck halfway between ramping up to the ending, and trying to do business as usual, while also cramming in the pairings that haven't been done yet, trying to hit the highlights, wrap up smaller stories, tell a seasonal arc, it's a lot. I generally give final seasons a pass. The good ones are still good, but I feel like you have to relax your brain a little to enjoy them generally. And I don't have that hard a time doing that with CXGF because even though most of the best moments are behind, and the pacing and ideas just aren't as strong, it's still CXGF and it's still a wonderful show

You can't be held responseble for your actions

[@vald_b4420]

I personally think the worse ones was cats and stuck in a car with someone you don't want to be stuck in a car with, also idk how you can put no one else is singing my song on the worse list, it's my fav fav song from the whole series!

[@KelseyHontz]

Aha, but this is not a song ranking list, so I did *not* put No One Else is Singing My Song on the worst list!

[@NightLynn90]

I’m bummed Lyndon Smith didn’t get any songs. I loved her in Alleluia

[@KelseyHontz]

No way, I didn't know she could sing!!

[@cheesebread5eva]

I think the entire fandom agrees that the hebecca storyline was THE worst story line

[@KelseyHontz]

Ugh thank goodness I'm not alone

[@sophis9453]

So I've never actually watched the full episodes of crazy Ex-Girlfriend and this is how I find out Greg is Greg meaning the reacast happened thought he was a totally different character

[@KelseyHontz]

ahaha I imagine you being like "oh, Skylar Astin's in the later season? Wonder who he plays. Anyway..."

[@sunsetsbymidnights]

While I get that Josh is going to Hawaii has some unmemorable parts, it’s above Josh and I Work on a Case for me simply because Rebecca’s financially problems catching up with her AND getting bi are the two things that sealed the show for me

[@KelseyHontz]

"Getting Bi" is a pretty iconic song

[@lebean8001]

dude i sing the cringe almost everyday

[@jessicaondrof4523]

Is 61 the worst or number 1 the worst? You mentioned not wanting to rank a season 3 episode lower than the cats one but it was ranked higher number wise and I’m confused

[@KelseyHontz]

61 is the worst-- it starts with the worst and goes up!

[@BrianaLynn7]

I love the California Christmastime episode and I love tell me im okay patrick lol

[@ginkoflow7376]

Even the worst episode of CXGF is better then the best episode of most shows

[@parklady4233]

There aren’t any bad episodes of this show🎉

[@styngturrill5037]

14:43 I can’t believe I never connected the dots of that and no one else is singing my song. Respectfully disagree with your list those episodes are so much more higher up now in my book

[@KelseyHontz]

I will accept your respectful disagreement! This ranking was very difficult lol

[@Mrjonnyjonjon123]

Disagree with the "worst" episode but the rest i mostly agree with

[@KelseyHontz]

What's your personal worst?

[@robylopezvi]

28:11 he’s not the brightest but he’s not as dumb as a rock (see what I did there?)

[@KelseyHontz]

ROCK!

[@howtoaca7504]

[@gligarguy4010]

Sorry, but I cannot forgive you for your season 4 hatred 😔 (but Skylar Astin is #NotMyGreg so I'll give you that)

[@KelseyHontz]

There's definitely no hatred, just... dislike!! (except for the scene where Josh has a staph infection)

[@gligarguy4010]

@@KelseyHontz The staph infection is season 3 right?

[@KelseyHontz]

... oh dang, I think you've got me there!!
