Re-Living for the WEEKEND(ERS)

[@MrCoat]

I relate so much to what you said about looking back on older videos. I've changed a lot myself since I started making videos and am embarrassed of so many things I said in the past. I've had people occasionally ask me about older videos that are no longer online and I have to politely explain that I just don't feel comfortable having them up anymore. I think change and growth is so important. Nobody is perfect and we learn and evolve and recognise our flaws the older we get. I'm not even close to the same person I was 20 or 15 or 10 or even 2 years ago. And I consider that a good thing. This was a wonderful look at "The Weekenders" and it definitely brought back so many memories, even though I haven't seen an episode in probably twenty years. It shows how lasting it is that I can still vividly remember the various pizza themes, several of the episode plots and even Carver's obsession with shoes.

[@ToonrificTariq]

Honestly one of the most underrated Disney Shows. I rewatched the full series recently and it still holds up tremendously imho. Lor was always my fav but Tino's mom was dropping IROH level knowledge at points that had me reevaluate stuff as an adult. Need to get on her level. FANTASTIC VIDEO!

[@commandercaptain4664]

Same thought. They don't need beady eyes AND a thousand yard stare. When that happens, cue Jefferson Airplane.

[@southchild_]

100% agree. I've seen so many animated shows where the eyes are so far off where they should be, usually you can tell when it's like just a distant look and when it is straight up incorrect eye level being drawn/animated. I feel like this show was pretty good at keeping it consistent and the no-eye-contact dialogue scenes just seemed really nice and natural.

[@solarmoth4628]

I might give someone an occasional look to indicate i’m still talking to them but I don’t stare at them the entire time?

[@c-puff]

I really like how you seem to enjoy cartoons that kinda fit into the "slice of life" genre the most (going by your videos). I feel like a LOT of time animators and animation fans are pigeonholed into "wacky". Like the only cartoons that "count" are the ones that are super crazy or are really high concepts. Sometimes it feels like if you're someone who likes (or makes) slower, less frenetic energy, you're like not a real cartoon maker/fan. It gets to you after a while. So I really do like how so many of your videos show these kinds of cartoons of just kids being kids as really enjoyable and important in their own light, and not everything needs to be SpongeBob or Avatar. idk just something I've been overthinking about. Also hell yeah Project Geeker!!

God, I remember this show so well. I used to relate so much to Tino cause I was also raised by a single mom. The conversations between Tino and his mom were almost exactly the same my brother and I had with our mom. It hit deep and I’m glad my mom was so chill and tried her best. I had friends like Tino’s friends and I still hang out with them. I’m 26 now, paying rent, working after college and shit, but this takes me back to the good old days. I love this show. Always felt happy watching it and always felt like whoever made it actually understood what most kids and teens felt and did at the time.

It’s a special kind of horror to look back at your work and realize that you have moved beyond it, and especially when people remember your old work and want to talk about it, understand, maybe dissect it. Nothing makes me my skin crawl more when friends see and remember my old sketches. I have the privilege of still having friends from preschool, kindergarten, and elementary school at 29. I don’t take it for granted. However, some of them have my older work I’ve gifted to them over the years, and they bring it out, show me, and my only wish in that moment is for a swift catapulting into space. 🙈 🚀 But as I’ve gotten older, it doesn’t hurt to see it all as much. I look back and realize that the work is only a reflection of the knowledge and tools I had at the time, and it’s nothing to feel ashamed of. Cheers to your growth! 🥂

[@elistewart3170]

Looking back, I always thought that Tino and Brendan from Home Movies were a lot alike. Blonde hair, divorced parents, being raised by a single mom that they always go to for advice, and being overly anxious. Didn't help that the two shows were going strong around the same time as each other too.

Amanda Waller from DC Comics), and those are just the ones off the top of my head. That said, I agree it never hurts to have more of em. They're still a relatively small group, and they deserve to become the next Novie Edwards or Yvette Nicole Brown.

Gotta say i really appreciate how authentic it feels to listen to/watch your videos as a black man. I consume a lot of long form video essays and as the internet tends to be, it's generally pretty white. There are a lot of good black KZbinrs in the same bag that I enjoy but it almost feels like their content is catered to the white ear or I know for a fact a lot of their friends/peers/sound boards are white. Listening to you feels like i'm talking to an out of town cousin or my brother from out of state (yeah i heard you be in jersey and I'm from brooklyn so you already know the tri-state beef baby - you know the vibes) and it's just incredibly refreshing. From your intro skits to the music to the slang that's not cut or censored or left out entirely because its "not professional" I just really appreciate the work you do.

this review was lovely aaa :) you never miss with these videos, but I appreciate your honesty when talking about videos you aren’t proud of anymore. the ending really resonated with me as a person who’s messed up a lot and is trying to be more kind to others and myself now. take care of yourself :)

[@armstrongslastnut2532]

No bulshit I've really enjoyed the videos, perspectives and introductions to music artist. Near the end of the video on The Goofy Movie playing Withdrawls over edits of the powerline section was sick.

This one of those shows that made me love slice of life

[@SweetyMiki]

OMG SOMEONE ELSE REMEMBERS THIS SHOW! This was like my fav thing to watch on Toon Disney back when I was in middle school. This video was a treat to watch.

[@Tacom4ster]

Yo "goat ass" maybe one of the funniest things you did since that Lulu clip "wilding"

[@cw602]

I like how Tish’s modesty was never made into a big issue in the show.

[@PeachiBuns2]

Im still Broke Gentry in the patreon list and honestly that could just be my stage name at this point Also I loved the video! The Weekenders felt like a fever dream to me for a long time until another friend of mind reminded me the show existed and now its just so nostalgic and still such an awesome show

[@ToonrificTariq]

Aw, I spelled your name wrong? 😭 I’ll fix it next time, I’m so sorry!

[@pennywrightsMLP]

Look my dude. Let us simp over a guy with a good talking voice and interesting deep thoughts on obscure cartoons I grew up on with a plushie. I have every right to simp and one day hope for a crossover video...one day.

[@thehomiespirit]

this show is goated tbh. even as a kid watching this show, I could see how brilliant it was compared to other cartoons at the time

[@mommakimmins5554]

I loved the weekenders. I was about 10 or 11 when it came out. I used to watch it on my 1970's TV in my room on Saturday morning cartoons. I'm so glad it lived up to my memories of it.

[@toon4thought]

Tariq is back and better than ever.

I think about this show every so often since I watched this a lot as a kid and I always wanted friendships like this because it was just so nice to watch. I wanted to hang out and do all the cool things they did as someone from a small town where all those weren't a thing. The whole vibe is probably why I like slice-of-life comics, webcomics, manga, and anime. Also I had a bit of a crush on Lor now that i think about it and it's probably why I like Ritsu from K-On so much.

This has to be my favorite video of yours man! Funny as fuck, and a great message at the end. Keep up the growth, this shits inspiring. Time to spend $150 on Weekenders DVD's on Amazon

[@NaomiALJ]

YESSSS I've been waiting 84 years for someone to talk about this show. It was the BEST. I still regularly quote "My love is like a paramesium, it divides and reproduces. It's covered in wriggling hair-like sclia and full of high protein juices!"

[@WolfgangEsq]

Your criticism of the commenters gives mad Myke C-Town energy and I fuckin love it

[@bladewolf39]

They finally put Pepper Ann on Disney+ and yet we're still missing The Weekenders.

[@Urushi12kitty]

Man this is A deep buried memory for me, almost as deeply buried as pelswick and llyod in space cdvfbghn. I'm glad you did a video on this cuz i swear I barely remembered this show

[@HadYTtoolong]
