Supernatural 6x15 "The French Mistake" Reaction

[@ZheToralf]

Fun fact: Misha Collins (Castiel) actually tweeted those things in real time as the episode was airing, just to mess with people.

[@rtozier2011]

But not the last tweet. Which implies he was attacked by Virgil before he could press the tweet button.

[@notuptome]

Actually I believe he tweeted that as they were filming that scene

[@buenosvideos3864]

it was so funny

[@Da1337Man]

You know... there's meta, which usually consists of pop-culture references and insider jokes. then there's really meta, like what this show did with Chuck and the supernatural books. Then there's Deadpool-meta, which i don't really need to explain because we're talking about Deadpool here. And then there's this shit, where a twitter post that was posted in the actual fictional universe of supernatural, is also the same twitter post that can be seen in our real world. Does that mean that our universe is technically canon to this show? My head hurts...

[@notuptome]

@@Da1337Man I know right Supernatural seem to show many different Depths of Meta I won't give spoilers for those who haven't seen it but the musical episode now that is now that is another example of going very it's going very Meta But in this episode the fact that misha Collins literally tweeted as they were filming the scene And anyone who follows misha Collins are followed him then on Twitter had no clue what exactly that tweet meant And that they had no idea that this tweet was done during the the filming of this very meta meta episode

[@Rebecca92204]

I like that they used actual wedding photos from Jared and Gen’s wedding

[@Kurt_707]

The best part is the scene in Jensen's trailer. The laptop screen was supposed to be a green screen, but they changed it to the real thing to get Jensen's legitimate reaction.

[@jlerrickson]

I'm convinced that no one does meta as naturally and brilliantly as SPN: the fan service masquerading as fan taunting, the self aware and humble humor, the jabs at industry tropes, and all of it manages to fit nearly seamlessly into the realm of plausible ideas in the show. Simply put, perfection.

[@Sereomontis]

You know, I like to imagine that while this episode is taking place, somewhere in the "real" supernatural universe, you have two very confused actors by the names of Jared and Jensen wondering where their lights and cameras and set went. The story is just much more fun to me if the "real" Sam and Dean switch places with the actors playing them.

[@viditjain2653]

yeah imagine Jensen and Jared running around actually having to hunt demons lol

[@RB-km4om]

(More) Trivia: The "Not talking" bit is supposed to be making fun of the acting industry, where people don't always get along as well as their characters on screen. Kripke wrote a " Thank you" - Mail to somebody at Spn ( don't remember who exactly), saying how much he appreciated the awesome way his character died in this episode. It was never Bob Singers idea to have a character named after him, I think that was Kripke. Misha pitched the idea of making AU - Misha a total douche. That didn't work out, so he tried to bring as much douche - like behaviour into his performance as possible. Also, I don't know if you know this, but Misha's birth name wasn't Misha Collins, but Dmitri Kruchnik (pretty sure I spelled that wrong). He made his stage name Misha Collins, because it was easier to spell. Friends and family already called him Misha and Collins was his grandmother's maiden name. I think that's why they put the "His name is Misha. Misha???"bit in there and I'm pretty sure Jensen enjoyed that line ;P Also the boys trailers or Jared's house don't look like that in real life. As someone else mentioned the Spn cast does a lot of charity work. The huge paintings of Gen an Jared in this ep, for example, got auctioned of for charity purposes. Before that, Jared asked if he could take the paintings and the one of him on a horse from set and he stored him in Vancouver for quite a while. He didn't really know what to do with them after he brought them to his place. The boys bodyguard is called Cliff, but that's not him on the screen. He played Tiny in an episode in season 2, though, if you ever rewatch it ;) The show is really filmed in Canada. Oh, and that's the real wedding picture of Gen and Jared on the shelf there. Misha had to leave the set because he couldn't keep a straight face during the acting scene. I'll edit this if I remember more, but that's all I remember now :) EDIT: They didn't know that the Days of our Life's clip would be on the screen already when they filmed the scene. If I remember correctly, Jared was laughing so hard there were tears coming down his face, while Jensen had trouble recognizing himself for a moment when he saw the clip. Regarding the charity thing: Members of the Spn cast have participated in marathons to raise money for charity causes. There is also a charity called Random Acts, founded by Misha, which has done a ton of good. The charity was inspired by the generosity of the SPN fandom. The fandom to this date has raised millions for charity. Popular Spn - campaigns that brought awareness to mental health issues are " Always keep fighting" and " You are not alone". From what I've seen, those campaigns had a lot of impact on many people dealing with mental health issues. I could go on and on about this, because it's amazing how much there is to tell about the Spn Family and charity, but I'll stop here :)

[@Sereomontis]

Wait, the dude from the prison episode? That Tiny? I had no idea he was their bodyguard, but that's cool.

[@RB-km4om]

@@Sereomontis Yes, that one ;)

[@Smido83]

Jared and Jensen... playing Sam and Dean... playing Jared and Jensen... trying to play Sam and Dean! It doesnt get more meta then that!

[@darthken815]

"My head hurts." -Dean (season 4, episode 18)

[@RB-km4om]

I saw this post that described the scene where they are all AU - acting as: " Jensen playing Dean playing Jensen playing Dean trying to act like Misha playing Misha playing Castiel " ;P

[@morlandalamaga5899]

🤔😆🤣🤣🤣😝

[@dajtoad1]

No need to apologize for laughing - you're certainly not alone! And I'm glad the "where"? line after Genevieve tells J2 that Misha's been stabbed got a big laugh out of you. I've always found that line hysterical, but for some reason, a lot of people don't seem to pick up on it. Or at least, not on first watch. There were never any rumours about J2 not talking. It's been well known that they were besties almost from the start. It was a joke on what is known to happen in the industry in other shows where there have been big fallings out (e.g. Sex and The City).

[@patrickmcguire7896]

This episode is easily in every fans top ten list for the entire series!

[@abeclark524]

Really? It's not even in my top 50.

[@mermaidreviews4693]

It’s my favorite episode lol it was fun

[@redshed2020]

Definitely in mine

[@lucas.2.3.9.4]

"We're the Winchesters. Always have been, always will be." Well now you're Soldier Boy and Walker 😂

[@scolemsa]

One of the best episodes. “You married fake Ruby?!”

[@gregharker1600]

I live in Vancouver, where they filmed the show. You can easily recognize locations. In this episode, they tried to make it look like Vancouver, and it looked really weird and nothing like home at all. That, to me, made it even funnier.

[@laurarocca17]

This episode is so much fun! More trivia: The guy who says “an atrocity is happening” is an actor portraying the irl Serge Ladoucer, who was Supernatural’s director of photography for all 15 seasons.

[@michaelohearn6616]

Yay! When you started Season 6, I was like, "We're getting to The French Mistake soon!" This is considered as one of the top 5 episodes of SPN, and it's always a fun watch.

[@huchlvr]

I dread when she gets to S7, for her emotional sanity. 😭😭😭

[@spangelicious837]

The best of the meta episodes, imo. This is one I always look forward to reactors getting to.

[@blackkatt777]

I think of this episode as showing the fandom some love. And, no show pulls off meta like this show does. These guys are natural jokesters so this episode is right up their alley. They lean into it with such ease. Definitely a fan favorite. Great reaction.

[@nancynicolaired979]

its Jared & Jensen playing Sam & Dean playing Jared & Jensen playing Sam & Dean 🤯

[@dansgaming2064]

I've always liked Dean reading Dean Grimly.

[@patrickmcguire7896]

The show made me fall in love with Dean & Sam This episode made me fall in love with Jensen & Jarred

[@victoriashade1]

I’m glad you’re feeling better Jess. Covid is such a wild thing to deal with.

[@rebexca3]

What a truly iconic episode, it's in my top 5 of the show. Absolutely love the meta Supernatural does. Ps: same with the "penultimate" 😆

[@concertjunkie973]

Misha actually sent those tweets out during this episode airing. We love the meta episodes . Hope you feel better , did you catch it on your vaca

[@eolsunder]

plus he wanted to play his character as a dushbag but they didn't want him to they wanted him to just be himself, so he improved a bunch of stuff to make himself look bad, like pushing the makeup woman out of frame and other stuff.

[@swimninja4952]

"We need to trust him"... famous last words lol

[@Wannabe_Baby]

This was one of my favourite episodes in a while. :) I liked how mad you sounded when you said "I say penultimate!!!"

[@Stuart_Cox1969]

I loved this episode, the ultimate 4th wall break.

[@darthken815]

No, they blew the 4th wall up, set the pieces on fire, then pissed on what was left.

[@benkelly2024]

Not so much broken as ground into powder and snorted 🤣

[@SMFCAWFAN]

You picked a hell of an episode to come back to 😂😅

[@HealthyDisrespectforAuthority]

I've been waiting for you to get to this one..good timing too.. laughter is the best medicine. Jared has those pop portraits of he and Gen in his garage. This is another one that's good every time .. knowing what's coming doesn't ruin it. The title of this episode comes from the end of Blazing Saddles when they break through the (4th) wall and the male chorus is singing French Mistake.

[@ruthjimenez6196]

No need to apologize! Glad you're recovering ❤️❤️❤️❤️ honestly, I've been waiting for this reaction in particular from you!

[@camilaviana1196]

Always good to see people's reaction to this episode for the first time😂😂

[@tigerpinky]

such a unique episode! Can you see any other show on tv that would be able to pull this one off? My fave was Dean watching Jensen on Days!

[@brendafrazier811]

I feel for you. I just got over Covid myself. Tested positive the last night of a cruise and ended up quarantined in a hotel in Orlando. Watching Supernatural was one of my distractions. This is one of my very favorite episodes!

[@johnnym7575]

So glad you enjoyed. This one is top 5 for me and is a fun rewatch. Good luck avoiding fandom and spoilers. I've been rewatching along with my boyfriend for his first time and it's a fine line with what I can say about an episode because I don't want to accidentally reference something that will happen seven or eight years from now. Haha. We just started S7 so almost halfway.

[@mary80631]

One of my absolute favorite episodes

[@nightwish9009]

i get the avoiding spoilers concept. that's how i was before i showed Hocus Pocus 2 at work last Saturday. a friend online showed it and i told her i declined so i could avoid spoilers and go in blind along with anyone who would watch it when i showed it.

[@CoastDreamz]

And so, of course this episode is a fan favorite. I didn't interact with the fandom when I first saw it, and I didn't know a lot of the BTS stuff, so I was about where you are. I knew a bit more though, just not as much as most fans. This episode did poke a lot of fun at things with the show and J2's real lives. The SPN fandom can be toxic, but you can filter that out on social media - mostly.

[@ninjanibba4259]

Every fandom has it's toxic fans

[@zebrion5793]

The hilarious part about Castiel's tweet - he actually tweeted it from the set. :P

[@janabraam7963]

I am dealing with COVID right now too. I think I'm at the tail end. Just coughing. Hope you get well soon. As much info as everyone has given you, here's another tidbit. Jared did not know they were going to use his wedding picture, so when he saw it on the fireplace, his expression was real surprise. Many people thought that was the real Eric Kripke. But it wasn't.

[@Jplummer-y3j]

Totally understand I hope you get to feel better

[@Dannydarko27]

Damn covid right after a vacation period is scary af. Glad you're up for recording and feeling better. I had covid for new years so it was no fun.

[@alexjo625]

all-time favorite 🥰

[@ttsg5601]

This is one of the episodes I’ve been waiting for a reaction. Also, looking forward to these big episodes, S6E17, S7E10, S8E12, S10E5 & S14E13

[@jdnaz1288]

Those are all great episodes, of course. But, there's also plenty of other good-great episodes still to go.

[@kurtthevillain6012]

Seeing you back and reacting to one of my favorite SN episode, made my day. 😊

[@huchlvr]

"We need to trust him". Hmmmm.... If he's being shady and secretive, maybe we need to be cautious. Remember, Angel's aren't always good. They're warriors and will do anything to win. Also, Jared & Jensen were playing Sam & Dean playing Jared & Jensen playing Sam & Dean (in that one filming scene)

[@agirlnamedbrett.]

yesss finally!! I can't wait to sit and enjoy watching you react to one of the best episodes of Supernatural.

[@BronasisEU]

I've been waiting for this reaction.

[@Darkstar72SR]

It’s about to be AWESOME!!!

[@ancatdal]

I think Cas' lack of communication is down to a few things; the fact that there are parts he feels he can't reveal to them, the fact that parts of what is going on might be hard to explain to humans (how does angel warfare even look in Heaven?), the fact that he is always almost pressed for time, and the fact that sometimes the brothers, especially Dean, can be a bit quick to judge and argue rather than listen and try to understand, and before this they have at times been a bit dismissive of what's at stake. I think Cas simply doesn't know how to have a productive conversation with them. And I think Cas really wants to just have the support of their friendship. Cas' might be trying to avert the Apocalypse restarting because he thinks it's the right thing to do, but his more personal stake in this is also fighting to preserve what him and his friends achieved, and protect them. I think he really, really wants to avoid having to deal with a conflict with them, on top of everything else he is dealing with, and just have them trust him and support him. It's not fair to ask for trust and support like that, but I understand why you might really want it when you're dealing with such high stakes.

[@crystalfire5564]

Such a good episode!

[@buenosvideos3864]

I've been waiting for this so long

[@thomasstevens2746]

love this episode

[@lenakataeva7525]

I adore this episode!! It's so fun.

[@aniharutyunyan3625]

This is my favorite supernatural episode💘💘💘

[@wlk68]

Gen & Jared's house in real life is much nicer than that monstrosity. Much cozier and more welcoming.

[@Arbalest-vy5jz]

The Writer of this episode, either a Pure Genius or just High

[@garethrogue]

I've been waiting for you to get to this one for like a year.

[@JLock1993]

this is my favorite episode

[@meropetied]

I feel like Misha Collins has oddly a breakthrough episode here. He's already shown his dramatic chops a good bit on the show. And done a lot of great wry comedy. But this is giggle-me-silly fall down guffawing stuff.

[@ASADragon]

The "Extra" that swerved is actually someone from the show.... go back and you'll see who it is if you key in on his face.

[@SayGahTaah]

This. Is. My. Favorite. Episode. 🤌

[@fred7dre]

Best episode ever

[@bhakt5551]

There will never ever be any other show like supernatural. Amazing.

[@deannadee.3594]

I like her reaction watching supernatural lmao 🖐️🤣

[@carneshabrown1438]

I love that ruby is his real Life Wife.

[@Rebecca92204]

Jared and Jensen playing Sam and Dean, playing Jared and Jensen, playing Sam and Dean

[@mermaidreviews4693]

This is my favorite episode lol ❤

[@carerforever2118]

That's not the inside of Jared's house, 'cause l've seen the inside of Jered's house.

[@sebastianwagner7334]

Aw yeah, been waiting for this episode for what feels like years xD Just some silly meta fun (well, mostly)

[@tyeasebryant4828]

You don't want to join us there's no way out. Just kidding join the fam you'll never be alone.

[@buenosvideos3864]

14:53 He was the trickster?

[@morlandalamaga5899]

No...

[@SpecRB]

Top episode

[@quentindiaz9418]

That was Jensen's real bus and Jared's real house right? Anyone feel free to correct me. I always believed that it was.

[@benkelly2024]

If it wasn't, I don't want to know 🤣

[@brendafrazier811]

I don’t know about the trailer but sorry, that wasn’t Jared’s house.

[@naijahgrant5037]

Sorry, neither trailer not house were real. They over exaggerated their real lives or just made some things up.

[@lwalker2627]

architectural digest visited both Jared's and Jensen's real homes which are on KZbin. they are both so beautiful but Jared's in particular is way more homey and cozy than shown here. they used German farmhouse as the theme when remodeling. Jensen's is a little more modern and on the water which is gorgeous.

[@scottbridge9391]

First and foremost: may the Healing Energy of the Universe flow through each and every Cell of your Being, restoring you to perfect health. Keep your vitamin D reserves healthy throughout the fall and winter. It'll help any future covid vaccines you get to work better and last longer and will also help your immune responses to not panic and go into overdrive if you should get infected with covid again. Anyhow, love what you're wearing, love your nails today. Yes, this was an amusing, often hilarious episode. Sam was chatting with his real life wife here. Yes, I watched the pilot episode of The Winchesters last night. This is the Supernatural prequel focusing on their mom and dad Mary and John in 1972.

[@LeadAStraySeries]

React to his dark materials season 3 trailer if possible. Get well soon!

[@mbb1538]

Is actors playing their characters trying to play themselves as actors… Lol

[@BabyScatha]

I find this episode overrated. It's kinda cringe, but kinda funny. It's lighthearted and fun though so I don't hate it either. I just don't share the same love for it as everyone else apparently lol

[@xstrykerx1837]

Hey I got COVID again also had it sense last Saturday so I'm just chilling watching videos
