ranking iconic 2023 pop culture moments

[@evildoesnotsleep-x2b]

heidi klum, a supermodel and total babe dressing in increasingly more elaborate and funny costumes and making her hot young husband be an egg is top tier at least

[@opiniyon]

oh you make good points

[@ishapanwar5585]

i cant believe that half of these happened THIS year. they seem like a lifetime ago

[@noemiesdreams]

Frrrr

[@dbudgell]

"my brain is spinning like a rotisserie chicken" is the best simile I've ever heard

[@opiniyon]

it was indeed spinning

[@billyjones-1996]

Phoebe and Bo's relationship getting exposed the exact same way Zoella and Alfie Deyes did back in the day is proof time is a flat circle (iykyk)

[@opiniyon]

omg this took me BACK

[@darshsenthil]

The whole submarine situation in July altered my brain chemistry, I don't know if it would be included on roman empire or just culture seeing how big it was😭😭

[@perhapsanya]

I would definitely put it in the last tier, that was an absolute bad idea and people died

[@yuyukit]

girl that's not it, a teenager died...

[@sovietmarshmallow1283]

that was this year???? i genuinely thought it happened last year with how long ago it felt

[@aswespeakI65]

@@sovietmarshmallow1283same!!

[@catherinepanella1670]

as if we all didnt have that lowkey fascination with the titanic to begin with... it just added to the lore😭

[@chicken_208]

The whole netflix password thing is so stupid like I grew up with divorced parents, one has only just learnt what netflix is and the other couldn't afford it, so my brother who lives in another state payed for it. Do they think everyone could just afford to buy a subscription whenever?! It is literally so stupid they're so money hungry.

[@andshereadstoo7809]

Same with my parents, they were so happy they could finally watch sth new amd could not afford to pay for it themselves, Netflix ppl seemed to completely ignore they had loyal customers paying for this shit for months years just sharing between two houses smh ☠

[@PokhrajRoy.]

6:43 Fun Fact: The person doing the ASL version of that performance is awesome and Rihanna DM’d her.

[@madelonpater1148]

The fact that Harry Styles cut his hair right after Taylor Swift dropped a vault song with the lyrics " you grew your hair long, got new icons' was why it was concerny/funny

[@ishapanwar5585]

as much as i love seeing people supporting rachel now, i will also never forget how they treated her especially when jacob elordi said the same exact thing s her, yet she was the only one getting so so much hate.

[@aabidahsiebritz3839]

Agreed, the hate was so disproportionate and aggressive.

[@dbudgell]

!!!!! yes!!!!!

[@alyxually]

The bob is bobbing and this video is excellent as always!!

[@opiniyon]

thank youuuu :)

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Tom Blyth, Rachel Zegler and Hunter Schafer in one movie? Casting Department should be given a medal.

[@aabidahsiebritz3839]

To be fair I think the lawyer in the Gwenyth Paltrow trial was a fan and just wanted to know if they were besties lol

[@rosie2871]

no literally, because it has no relevance to the case at all 😭

[@jeyyran]

okay, i now finally understand where the 'are you good friends with taylor swift' joke my friends keep bringing up came from😂 somehow knowing the context doesn't make it any less confusing

[@Spiderpunkrocks]

5:22 you said exactly what i was thinking in this situation lol. At first i was also surprised with the relationship, but i thought excluding the fact that he is a curly haired french man, and Hollywood actor, he is just a full on L.A boy. And yes he is french but i mean its the way he acts, his name and looks kinda give him a mask of being elite, ol money and important fancy french person but he is nothing of that sort lol, him and kylie makes sense 💯

[@alegitsnack]

As someone who basically came out the womb obssessed with pop culture, thank you for this video. 😌

[@SarahBugarija]

The bo phoebe accidental relationship reveal was so good, one of my fave moments just cuz of the absurdity of it

[@oliviae6423]

Your nepo baby video honestly was my beacon in the storm

[@emmabruh]

This year was crazy omg, i absolutely didn’t realise how much actually happened just in this year until i saw it listed up like this, it feels like half of it happened years ago omg

[@michelinstargouda]

omg the hair! this is 100% your look connie baby

[@opiniyon]

10/10 reference

[@sam2572]

tbh the fact i didn't know about like a third of these makes me happy with the way i live my life. i love being oblivious (no hate if you're into this kind of stuff it just feels exhausting)

[@misuchiku4827]

I feel the same way. very hard to keep up with so I mostly don't lol. I love the recaps though because I do like some drama

[@iluvbowser]

That length of hair looks so pretty on you!! Love your videos ❤

[@Lex-fo5ci]

Love that you said the Heidi Klum costume looked like cirque du soleil when it literally was a collaboration with them lol! Love your videos❤️

seeing you rank things is one of my favorite passtimes

[@allysonfergot4474]

your hair looks so cute!!

[@no.1appastan]

I love watching your channel to get caught up on parts of the internet that i missed every few months xxx

[@brigc7755]

As someone who just recently watched Oppenheimer: I was expecting to hate it but it was honestly one of the best movies I've seen.. like criminally good, you should deffo watch it.

[@victoriagarcesmua]

YOUR HAIRCUT OMG!!! obsessed

[@dbudgell]

i absolutely cannot wait to get home from work to watch this

[@starsandsuch7778]

Girl i would’ve never known about Shakira’s diss track and it’s thanks to you I just watched that national treasure 🫶🏻

[@broccolinisprout-to4hz]

another slay of a video!! also love the hair!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

10:04 Omg it was a moment and I still quote “I wish you well.” and btw I know someone who’s doing a play (with music) called ‘Gwyneth Goes Skiing’ on this incident.

[@opiniyon]

STOPPPP I TOTALLY FORGOT SOMEONE IS MAKING HER SKI TRIAL INTO A MUSICAL

[@PokhrajRoy.]

@@opiniyon Correction: A play with a bit of music

[@bingeingforsoup]

The only thing I think you missed that I saw everywhere was Scandoval 😅 otherwise you slayed hard here ❤️

[@TeagueChrystie]

these videos are such a vital service

[@brookemorgan7091]

I spent all of Oppenheimer waiting for it to pass the Bechdel Test, spoiler it never does.

[@vicente8749]

My brain is spinning like a rotisserie chicken same girl

No matter what you’re going thru girl your hair is so cute!!! Slay!!

I know another channel that’s going to discuss 2023 Pop Culture moments so I’m already so excited 👏🏽 P.S. The hairstyle is absolutely fabulous!

[@opiniyon]

thank you!!

[@dbudgell]

i agree! hair looks lovely

[@carlgrimeseyepatch27]

It took me all year and this video to figure out what “my roman empire” means 😂 thank you!

[@libby8920]

i love these videos so much

[@briclare]

i really love your haircut!!

[@kindofcl]

Oppenheimer was excruciatingly long and I had very mixed feelings about it, so you really didn't miss much by not seeing

[@lauraboredom2168]

yes selena got A LOT of hate for the face she did when they announced chris brown but i was like she did nothing wrong like f him

[@jow2716]

Hey, I understood SOME of these references! 🤩

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Taylor Swift and her legacy will be part of future curricula. I just know it. My thesis is ready if anyone wants to know haha

[@dbudgell]

bestie what's the thesis

[@PokhrajRoy.]

@@dbudgell That’s confidential information lol jk

[@hazarege5270]

hi, i just wanted to say that i love your content. hope youre doing well.

[@alingw0809]

the haircut is super cute!!

[@andytmnt]

Love the haircut btw!

[@noahalexis3100]

didnt know half of these moments, but now I caught up!

[@andshereadstoo7809]

The clip of Timothy Chalamet being a frat boy screaming at the top of his lungs felt so wrong 😭

[@ScreenFavorites]

First and foremost i LOVE the cut. Thank you, I now know what this whole Roman Empire thing was about. I would have mentioned the turd of a man Matt Healy being a turd, his comments about Ice Spice, dating Swift and getting shamed off Twitter.

[@experimentno.626]

I AM SO EXCITED TO WATCH THIS

[@akemikitamura5551]

It really is the season for emotionally driven impulsive haircuts isn't it

[@misuchiku4827]

I knew about none of these but you are always so entertaining also the bob is a slay

[@FatemaLiya]

Love your haircut!!!

[@lenaharman1343]

lovvvveeee!!! great video

[@TheSkinnyZ]

The way I already forgot about Un-Ga-lah Bass-it did da ting!

This is honestly the way I find out that all the memes I see abt bald harry are not photoshopped 😂

[@lmw1239]

I love your videos so much 💜💜💜

[@harsheh]

WHY IS EVERYONE CUTTING THEIR HAIR LIKE ME? it looks so good 🫶

[@manasvineiiiii]

Not me finding out half the things that happened this year through you 😭

[@6xillix]

well ari’s relationship is none of our business and I’m glad it was a rumor and it wasn’t cheating or anything and there wasn’t even a proof that she did,but I kinda feel bad for the wife with the baby but well it’s their personal life

[@kswaggey]

we have such similar taste!!! my one thing is that ariana debose supports / is publicly friends w ansel elgort so i think that was a part of the backlash as well.

[@justlola417]

Wow all those celebrity moments I've never heard about

[@Hooked_on_britney99]

NOT THE PRIM REAPER 💀😂

[@NG-ue4th]

OK so 'prim reaper' is now my roman empire, like bestie I can't stop thinking about it lolol *chefs kiss*

[@lili-cl1zx]

THE PRIM REAPER???? ASHLKJDS

[@jeyyran]

Do I live under a fucking rock, i missed all of these somehow 😭😂 you know the feeling when you have an exam coming up but you were in class maybe twice the whole semester so now you're trying to catch up on EVERYTHING in 2 hours? that's me rn trying to get up to speed with this year before the next one starts😂

[@Blaise8201]

Some of this felt like it happened years ago 😭😭😭

[@haleykirkton3655]

Omg I was like PEDRO PASCAL AND PHOEBE BRIDGERS ???

[@sawallthat]

Oh kayyy haircut, you go gurl! I wish you the best with your implied emotional crisis ❤. Also Oppenheimer sux, don’t bother. Take it from a Letterboxd girlie

[@ashleyflores5289]

If you waited a couple more days we would’ve seen the rise and fall of Matt rife in here

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Honestly, I like Heidi Klum paying an ode to South Asia with Peacock and Yasssified Kali.

[@blondeee]

Wow, I had very different perspective on Cole Sprouse on CHD. I really enjoyed this episode with him. I think that Jack Harlow episode was unsettling.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

11:45 Met Gala these days are just something I dread. Why are most people sleepwalking their way through this? Also, in any case, Vogue needs to step up PRONTO

[@linn469]

3:15 piqué girlboss if you will i'll see myself out

[@SDfan2002]

Btw Teen Wolf was also an 80’s movie starring Michael J. Fox.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

6:00 You are Ali Wong to Netflix’s Steven Yeun. Just be careful around the carpets and the grills.

[@melaniewon]

The Josh Hutcherson thing was more so because of the FNAF movie rather than the ballads of songbirds and snakes

[@random.x0]

Sorry for spamming the comments, but also you're welcome for the engagement, I guess?

When you said Phoebe Bridgers was rumored to be engaged to Pedro Pascal I audibly exclaimed HUH

ya bob is fye

[@Sympathy_forLadyVengeance]

So no Jiafei? *throws phone*

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Omg I didn’t even know Paul Mescal and Phoebe Bridgers weren’t together. Huh.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Ethan Slater and Ariana Grande are the Eddie Fisher and Elizabeth Taylor of our times.

[@sunshineeee]

I just wanna note about the SAG strikes: they are “over” but the deal is awful and widely hated by the members and non members of SAG, with only a 38% turnout, majorly due to SAG preventing people from voting for dues that were late(after months of those being stopped…in a strike….where no one had a job). Specifically late but either before or well within the time to still be allowed/able to vote. It’s an AWFUL deal, with little to no real improvements and no protection from AI(will slowly kill the industry. It not only will remove jobs like background, but slowly pick off available slots for crew, support, other actors, etc). I worry that people will ignore it in favor of getting to talk about the movies and shows they missed. /nm at you /srs

[@Man-ej6uv]

most of these are news to me bc i'm a bug living under a rock

[@lolor17]

lol Phoebe and Pedro Pascal 😂

Just so everyone knows and is able to hate El0n even more: he's trying to take his children with Grimes away from their mother.
