[@AntiNepotismAdvocate]

10 years later and I'm still throwing tomatoes at the screen for the last episode of himym

[@opiniyon]

i'm with you bestie

[@Kristianalexis1]

I don’t blame you. It gets me heated just thinking about it 😅

[@societycrumbles]

I had time to cool off, but I was seeing red for good couple years after I watched it.

[@MoMo-rx4zr]

i’m not surprised by the ending…the way they dragged the show on it was clear that they were making things up as they went on and i realized they were going to bs the ending when they didn’t even introduce her before the last season. That doesn’t change the disappointment i felt though lol

[@katelynh6216]

never forget🫡

[@TheSkinnyZ]

It’s so pleasing to me that every tier got the same amount of entries.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

I can never fathom Shailene Woodley playing Laura Dern’s daughter and then playing a fellow mom in ‘Big Little Lies’ 3 years later.

[@user-xr7ci8tf3e]

I stared at this for so long until I realized it said “Lies” and not “Liars” lol

[@PokhrajRoy.]

@@user-xr7ci8tf3e Lol I confused the two titles

[@toni3762]

2014 was such a culturally RICH year it’s insane

[@brodyh98]

i remember going to see the fault in our stars in theaters with a group of friends and we all brought sooo many tissues bc we were convinced we were gonna bawl our eyes out. none of us shed a single tear lmaooo

[@es-jm5fg]

lmao?!

[@hingryd1221]

Ok, I went without knowing the hype (too young for this side of tumblr) almost didnt got a ticket HOURS before the screening, the line to get in was HUGE, people were SOBBING on the seat by my side and the main girl did not died at the end?!?!?!?!? I was so confused, still am tbh

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Happy 10 Years to 2014 to those who celebrate. I was sad, upset, angry and dreading my Boards exams. Then after April 2014, life felt infinitely much better.

[@FatemaLiya]

God I remember when Justin Bieber got arrested. I was in grade 8 and this girl in my class who was the biggest fan was hysterical and kept saying 'he's just having a hard time' as if she knew him personally 😂 She was also so mad at Selena for being with him and being a bad influence on him

[@athenajaxon2397]

It is definitely not controversial Mockingjay should've been one movie! Also The Fault in our stars being that popular was insane I went to the theater to see it in on the last day of school and the theater was so packed we had to sit towards the front

[@opiniyon]

SAME HERE

[@AnkIebit3r]

I’m so sorry you had to sit in the front

[@hingryd1221]

The cinema here in my town was so plain, didnt even had marked seats back then and we could probably buy a ticket to a screening that was already began. So when I went clueless of the hype, to get my tickets so earlier just to be free from this task and almost didnt get in, I was SHOCKED. Like, I bought decent seats to whatch barbie on the opening weekend on this cinema wtf john green

[@meiisnothere]

10 yrs is actually wild 😭😭😭

[@RobynMarieBZ]

Every time I get into my car, if I don’t have Spotify locked and loaded, U2 starts playing and I want to scream. All I have on my iTunes is that U2 album that was forced upon me, unorthodox jukebox, and up against the wall by j-Rand 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@TurtleStormer]

Thinking about how divergent and fault in our stars are the only two movies I’ve seen Shailene and Ansel and the whiplash I got from them being love interests to them being siblings in the same year

[@badanimation.]

Somehow, a CEO taking credit for a minimum wage worker's success - even if that success is based purely off that minimum wage worker's looks and general appeal to the media and Ellen Show connoisseurs alike - is the least surprising yet most timeless item on this list

[@Kristianalexis1]

Even as you mentioned these, it was hard to believe that some of these were from 2014. Happy ten years to that.

[@abz-]

GIRL your hair looks SO CUTE! Also, I'm glad someone else shares the same opinion on Divergent, the way the movies ended was a hot mess. I don't even think I read the last book, I just skipped to the end lol. Can't wait for more videos this year!

[@opiniyon]

THANK YOU!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

John Travolta at the Oscars hosting is always a wild ride.

[@justadrian56]

Am I the only one who once in a while still thinks of where #AlexFromTarget is now

[@opiniyon]

i wonder how he's doing

[@yashikasahrawat]

OMG WHAT ITS BEEN TEN YEARS SINCE 2014? I CANT BELIEVE THIS (I was 7 at the time and have zero recollection of what happened that year)

[@iiii498]

I remember sobbing watching the HIMYM finale, can't believe it's been ten years

[@PokhrajRoy.]

HAPPY NEW OPINIYONEAR! I hope 2024 is a great year for you and may you be blessed with Pop Culture Moments.

[@opiniyon]

awww thank you!!

[@idlevelvets1808]

2014 was the beginning of the end for me but the best part of it for me is getting pop bible 1989

[@michelinstargouda]

i'd die for an uncarley collab. you're both roughly the same age and i feel like you both have a similar vibe/type of content and you'd just be girly pops together edit: saw the description and smiled. from the river to the sea 🍉

[@jaquelinegonzalez7394]

The moment you said this was a Team Peeta channel I was like ‘SUBSCRIBE’

[@fshzi]

whenever I watch videos that reminisce about like 2010-2018 I'm always blown away by just how HUGE Justin Bieber was. Like there will truly never be a star like him; dude his reach/stardom was INSANE

[@clareflattery8720]

The slowly then all at once John Green quote is sooooo good still

[@akemikitamura5551]

Frozen's success just proves the power of marketing more than anything. It's sandwiched between two way better movies and still made more money than both combined.

[@opiniyon]

the way that i know half the lyrics to "let it go" because i heard that song too many times against my own will

[@badanimation.]

I fell in love with your channel the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once (Actually, it was just all at once) Okay? Okay.

[@mondimjuni]

your kind voice mixed with your hilarious sense of humour makes your videos for me btw!!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Quote of the Day: “I was in the trenches.”

[@dbudgell]

hello, it's me! number one stan of your haircut

[@fishhyyy6896]

its been 10 years?!🥹

[@opiniyon]

yup 😭

[@PokhrajRoy.]

I remember when ‘The Fault in Our Stars’ movie adaptation going in full swing and then several months later, we heard there was going to be a Hindi remake which didn’t release till 2020.

[@katrinaroberts6704]

i love ur channel n been watching u in the backround while cleaning for a whilee like all the time n i just recently realized u have 30k subs. u deserve millions fr

[@ann.1166]

when frozen came out i was pretty neutral about it but then i started working in the kids section of a clothing store and every second item featured some character of frozen on it, so i started to hate it with a passion and i still do

[@wendyblanchard6496]

I'm currently rewatching himym i love this show but man that ending I usually skip the last two episodes durting my rewatches

[@lizzieAIK]

After watching this I literally spent the entire morning watching your videos. I think it's fair to say that I have a new youtuber at the top of my favourites

[@MoMo-rx4zr]

When the fault in our stars came out, i thought it was too fast paced and “okay, okay” was goofy. However, i really like john green as a person, so i spent a few years wondering if it was satirizing teen angst and i was the only person who understood that it’s unserious and everyone took it literally. That definitely wasn’t the case.

[@izzyquadrinostallwood1940]

The babadook!!!! throw backkkkk. Loved it

[@libby8920]

this is so fun

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Priyanka Chopra playing Mary Kom and the conversations around representation were really quite something.

[@mayamiyazaki150]

I can’t believe I have been hating on Frozen for ten years 😂

[@CarolineStrunk-ld4ri]

Hi I just want to say I am a really big fan I love your channel can't wait to see what you do in 2024

[@PokhrajRoy.]

17:05 I remember being so excited that year for some reason.

[@abrielle13]

Holy shit, it's my 10 year high school graduation anniversary this year 😳

[@The_hexgames]

Lol the last Divergent movie got cancelled so you didn’t miss anything 🤣🤣🤣

[@saaya8964]

Some of these I would have never thought happened in the same year. Wdym the babadook came out the same year as frozen???

[@stanleywilczak6018]

The picture of Solange, Beyoncé, and Jay Z exiting the elevator looks like a renaissance painting

[@cherrytomatovevo]

Why did you remove the nepo baby video? I liked that video :(

[@jasmijnr9736]

I found some screenshots and I had alex from target as my background in 2014 💀💀💀

[@lauras5359]

I watched frozen 4 times in 2014 when I was 14 due to friends wanting to watch it with me and I never watched it again

[@izzyquadrinostallwood1940]

Between two ferns bloopers have me HOWLING

[@PokhrajRoy.]

8:07 OMG Théo James was really just omg wow he’s so beautiful. I remember him as Mr. Pamuk in ‘Downton Abbey’ and still hot with his clothes on.

[@badanimation.]

Shoutout to Magic Treehouse! 🎉🪄 🌳

[@sunshineflicker6120]

Gosh this all feels kinda recent yet SO far away. 2014 was a year

[@ninathenina1769]

me watching how i met your mother rn hearing the spoiler oh i’m gonna be sick

[@doesitmatter13]

I am pretty sure it was the other way around, netflix mistakenly putting the babadook in lgtb movies created the babadook as a gay icon memes

[@aarongomez8930]

How dare you, that parakeet changed my life

[@PokhrajRoy.]

TEAM PEETA all the way (does the whistle)

[@user-ih1mo4rw2s]

and then the actresses apologizing for the pictures FUCKED UP

[@TheSkinnyZ]

Never have I ever heard about Babadook.

[@fatimaherbawi]

The fault in our stars is so sad 😭

[@BroccoliAndCheese01]

You missed All About That Bass lol!

[@petraaloizos4486]

SLAYYYYYYYY

[@jenm3577]

Divergent FLOP you’ll never be the hunger games

[@thomassschwarz5998]

The interview was a good movie

[@lizzieAIK]

the ending of himym is arguable the worst ending in tv history

[@tcoonn]

Ugh I just restarted HIMYM knowing how it ends and I’m dreading the last season

[@LBVED]

giving the people what they want

[@charlierhodes7271]

I'm so happy I wasn't on the Internet in 2014 and was playing minecraft instead

[@flawlesseleven]

Anaconda came out that year and was a huuuuuge scandal but now it seems so tame for a music video

[@Carolineintoodeep1288]

I agree mokingjay part one has too much gale #teamPeeta

[@LaMgtx]

I read the Hunger games trilogy and I believed it could have easily been a two book series.

[@sassiqueen1200]

mockingjay films brought the whole franchise down. how did they go from the masterpiece that is catching fire...to THAT...

[@yuyukit]

i know a lotttt of people who only pretended to like divergent because it was apart of the rebellious kids win wars and overthrow evil systems genre that ruled the early 10s and it was a punishable crime to admit that you don't like some of its representatives 😭 i feel like we as a society as this close to admitting that nobody actually liked divergent

[@PokhrajRoy.]

10:12 And then I remember Eugene Lee Yang recreating it for a video. Looked infinitely hotter obviously.

[@thejupiterianalien]

it hasn't been that long, what are you talking about? that wouldn't be possible, obviously.

[@myal27]

this is cool because I was only 8 so I didn’t even know about none of this 😬

[@kylereads]

10 years on and I'm still babashook 🌈🏳️‍🌈

[@snehapradhan5591]

❤

[@KLSMP1]

as a non american person, i didn't get any of this moments ToT

[@Man-ej6uv]

the babadook really looks like my shadow people so he is truly a friend to me and the queer community

[@Sd-sv2cm]

I thought the babadook was accidentally added to the LGBTQ movie section on Netflix then it became a meme and the babadook became a queer icon

[@PokhrajRoy.]

AAAAAAAAAA ONE TREE HILL UPDATE AAAAAAAAAAAA sorry was that too subtle?

[@opiniyon]

update: i've been watching the first two seasons while taking notes and i'm almost done with season 2. after that i'll have to actually consolidate my notes to film the recap :") it's coming i swear!!!!!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

@@opiniyon Don’t worry, take your time. It’s a lot to process especially when you realise what happened behind the scenes.

[@Claire-jf1rb]

"we all know of [Kim Kardashian]. if you don't...cool"

[@PokhrajRoy.]

I was Team Friends and not Team HIMYM. My classmates were really into it. I just wasn’t into it.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Hahahaha Babadook as a Gay Icon is awesome happy to have him join us

[@saaya8964]

ITS BEEN 10 YEARS?????????? bruh

[@alexj4239]

thank you for the reminder of gay babadook what a good time

[@mxy_moorenx]

Divergent >>>> hunger games. All the way. Hunger games was mid at best, divergent was way better

[@akemikitamura5551]

This is a WILD take. Please explain I'm genuinely curious

[@art.st.13]

no i love this so much. have you ever considered joining a study? i think your thought process would be very intriguing

[@AnkIebit3r]

I’m SO mad for The Hunger Games. That series has a cultural impact girly.✋☹️😭

[@gigimccannon]

i do like you but it’s abundantly clear you never got out much
