A Thorough Recap Of The Best Pop Culture Moments in 2022 🥂 *the mess, memes, and the drama*

[@hudsonlewis8843]

Olivia Wilde is that mom that stirs up drama with her kids friends and then when their parents come after her she starts acting mature

[@theswiftologist]

SOOOOOOOOOO TRUE

[@mikeywebb9598]

You have no idea how excited I am for the 2023 recap… eras tour, Barb-enhimer, TOXIC GOSSIP TRAIN?!?! It’s gonna be so good

[@gabrieldafonseca9238]

your gonna have to do this again in 2023, cause this was too good

[@theswiftologist]

For sure

[@livelurklaugh]

my favorite weird harry/DWD press moment would be the out of context quote "You know my favorite thing about the movie is, like, it feels like a movie." 💀

[@jakovjakovljevic3310]

You wrapping up nepotism babies topic with "who am I to say" was the best part of this video, I was laughing for a good amount of time

[@theswiftologist]

I just be saying stuff fr

[@rosiethomas310]

heidi klum is the mariah of halloween and i live for it

[@theswiftologist]

She truly truly is scary Mariah Carey

[@juliasanders9155]

calling lily rose depp a "wearer of wired headphones" .. screaming

[@gaileygirl]

the pure, unbridled joy in your face as u recounted the tea only made this video that much more entertaining lmfao. happy new year!!

As a wife to a medical school student, I can say that it is VERY difficult to get into medical school EVEN with connections (we tried lol). Maybe if who you know is a parent who literally made revolutionary discoveries or changes in the medical field, sure. But we were told by respected staff members of universities that there was nothing they can do to help him get an in with the school. That was a major yikes on Lily Rose Depp's part.

[@katiesays]

I was dying to hear your thoughts on nepotism babies. If it were me, I wouldn’t even defend it. If I were called out on it, I’d say, “yes, you’re totally right. I took advantage of a unique opportunity that was given to me through my parents. Pass the potatoes, please”. I’m not putting it on them to fix the issue. Just acknowledge it when asked and move on. Everything backfires the moment they go on the defense with excuses, justifications, and other whataboutisms. They can’t help themselves.

[@toannguyen1998]

Favorite moment: Tory Lanez being found guilty. The trial itself is filled with twists and turns with Tory's team trying so hard to buy off all the prosecutor witness but his own witness made it 10x times worse for him. And still he lost!

[@tom_j.]

This was the most amazing video to end the year with, btw my favourite Taylor plane memes were the ones saying that she made chemtrails for Lanas cotcc video💀💀💀

[@goldrush1989]

😭😭😭 not chemtrails-

[@WintaAssefa]

Woahhh

[@causeimnachoprincess]

my fave thing about DWD spitgate was Harry telling his concert crowd that he'd hopped over to Venice to spit on Chris... this drama was truly something else

[@theswiftologist]

Omg lol so true

[@candacetirado2514]

I was at this concert and i still haven’t recovered lol.

[@mirandabee2323]

You can tell Zach cannot be bothered with the Try Guys because he said Ned's wife "was home with his daughter" when Ned has two sons and zero daughters.

[@chrismihaljevich6332]

Happy New Year Zack! Cannot wait for the swiftologist and EOAS takeover next year (especially the Patreon). You were a big part of my year and I thank you so much for making content! Keep slaying ZACHARYYYYY! ❤️

[@theswiftologist]

Thank u sm for watching Chris!!

[@drawl13]

I love how the explanation you gave about the paraguay thing is literally not what happened because no one outside of latin america gets what happened like its so funny to me

[@theswiftologist]

[@MermaidCore_]

What happened?

[@drawl13]

@@MermaidCore_ she was rude to hotel staff and then because of a huge storm that got people killed (there were people in the venue for the festival already and when the storm started there were safety issues and shitty planning in case of an emergency) the concert was cancelled for obviously safe and valid reasons but she went on twitter and complained about spending time getting ready for the show which like... people died who cares that you spent time getting ready in a fancy hotel surrounded by staff. It also wasnt HER concert it was a festival with multiple artists who also had gotten ready and wished for people's safety publicly. She also had a private party in the hotel later that night which people found tone deaf. n more stuff that happened but thats the jist of it

[@olyasladkovska]

Hello! Ukrainian here. I cringed when those celebs talked abt war in Ukraine like their words can solve all of the problems and u-turn russian troops lol thanks for your videos it makes me feel good and less anxious all the time

[@reneegraber]

“Harry’s Halfway House” I’m dead 💀😂 Love your channel! ❤️

[@meridith7137]

Happy New Year Zach and fellow Swiftologists! ❤️ I’m spending mine sick in bed with Covid and this at least cheered me up. Can’t wait to see the girlbossification of your channel and EOAS in the new year, and all the delicious food that awaits us 😂

[@thesweetpet]

Even though I disgree with you about Harry's acting skills, I still had to laugh so hard when you called him ''human piece of cardboard"😂😂 loooove your comments

[@Kianaonyoutube]

I am crying laughing throughout this whole video 😂 coming back to this in 2024 is truly hilarious

[@solomonbarnathan8861]

I work in the private Aviation business. Almost everyone who has a private plane, has to charter it out for other people to use rent. If you keep the plane grounded it is more expensive than when flying the plane. So I can tell you straight off that people definitely charter Taylor’s Plane.

[@BobbyK19]

once again thanking Swiftologist for our daily bread and frequent content, amen 🙏

[@rueroxanne972]

I love hearing you speak about pop culture. Also I love your dog

[@gonzalo6523]

omg happy 2023 zach!!! this is the year where we'll get speak now tv so definitely a good year!!!

[@theswiftologist]

From your mouth to gods ears fingers 🤞

[@tachacamp]

This video brought me so much joy, as has your channel over the last several months. I had a baby in August and was laid off from my job the day I returned from my maternity leave (Yay, USA). There’s a lot of uncertainty and stress in my life these days, but your videos are such a delightful break from the chaos. You have entertained and educated me and made me laugh so much. Looking forward to seeing where your channel goes! ❤

[@nono-im7jo]

that has to be illegal because wtf

Happy New Year!! So excited for all the Taylor content we are going to get next year!!!

[@paulceloso6948]

favorite pop culture moment in 2022, Midnights ofcourse

[@cinderellafromshrek]

love your videos and everything you do! but i think euphoria s2 deserved a spot on this list/recap. that whole era was insane

[@PoisonedApathy]

Happy New Year Zach! So happy to have found you this year. Your channel and the podcast really gave so many great moments of entertainment, so keep up the good work! BTW Florence Pugh arriving to Cannes with an Aperol Spritz in hand has to be my favourite moment this year. Truly iconic lol

Zach: "Running up that hill came out like what 20-30 years ago" It was in fact 40 Zach. Let's accept the fact that we're both approaching our thirties. It's okay

[@Mx_Blah]

Happy New Year Zach! Love you videos always and you really helped me get through this year. I’m not gonna get into it cause you know no need to trauma dump for people who don’t care but thank you for being you! 💜

[@theswiftologist]

Aw I’m happy to have helped in a small way Mx!

[@sofiramirez2379]

I'm for Argentina and the doja beef with paraguay was way more nuanced lol latin american twitter was going off on her, basically she liked some xenophobic tweets while there was a huge storm in Paraguay, she and a lot of other artist couldn't perform and she didn't say a word to her fans while other artists (like machine gun kelly who I hate but honestly slay of him for this) performed for fans outside the hotel. Idk it was really funny she was also kinda mean to fans in Argentina too.

[@YellowGiraffeGal]

I love the puppy in the background, "building their nest" on the bed * - *

[@zuzannakielar]

I think one of my favorite things to happen this year has to be arresting of Andr*w T*te because of the pizza box ❤️ what can i say.. i just love good news 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@theswiftologist]

Omg so true that happened after I filmed but otherwise I would’ve def included it

[@jcksparrowfan]

"Harry Styles cannot act"... then its really fortunate they didn't decide to cast him as Prince Eric in the live-action.

[@sonnymiller6524]

this made my day :) heres to another year of clowning my swiftologists

[@carrotsss2016]

The cover of running up the hill sounds like when you look at lyrics without the song and you think of the song like iykyk

[@littlechatspodcast]

Running up that hill becoming top one just reminds me of a thing I saw on Twitter where someone said "Kate bush would be so proud herself. I bet she's smiling down from heaven." like um what?! she is ALIVE AND WELL THANK YOU

[@fenixufficiale]

0:00 - 2:16 omg, i think someone is ending your career right now. the star is behind you doing something iconic! 🤣🤣🤣
