Velma's INSANE COPE at Critic Reviews - Episode 2

[@disparutoo]

Velma review of episode 2, where we find a few journalists desperate to try and prove that 6% review score is simply a small group of loud people. And Velma tries to prove the innocence of the same person she accused of guilt in the last episode. Of course Velma hasn't changed in one episode, or likely the rest of the series. And so she's still as insufferable as she was before. Which is apparently a bonus! But what did you think about it from what you saw? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)

[@RemnTheteth]

Fred has money, so we're told - something not all white people have...in addition the first episode indicates he's brutally abused by his father, who puts cigars/cigarettes out on him, amongst other easily assumed traumas, including emotional abuse and abandonment. He also has a physical condition he can't control, and is brutally made fun of for it. Something I find to be utterly disgusting, considering the current era of PC speech in which I can't even use the word "crazy" or "field" without someone feeling insulted, much less making fun of someone for a physical condition they were born with. Truly disgusting. I'm white, and I always had food on the table, something I don't take for granted. But my house was rampantly abusive, more so than I care to share online. But because my family was stable enough, my trauma counts for nothing, and I'm only to be understood through my skin color, not my actual experience. Just as all people of color are assumed to have racial trauma, despite many examples of people indicating they've gone their whole lives not having an issue with people, or having objectively racist experiences. That's just to say that current Far/Woke/sheep Left likes to paint a broad brush, much like the Right, but pretends it's not doing to that, just like the Right. I see people as individual human beings, not as an arbiter of other people who happen to look like them. And I find all the time I have more in common with people of disparate backgrounds, because we're similar as PEOPLE, how we think about the world, and interact with others. Shows like this, which attempt to be progressive, demonstrate with every breath the same hatred that some white people have shown towards people of color. They think they can't be racist, because people who look like them have been persecuted - but demonstrate they're cut from the same cloth as white racists. Closed minded, identity-obsessed, self-orientated bigots. And Mindy Kaling seems to be one of those people. Stuck in a victim's mentality, despite being at the forefront of TV writing in Hollywood for the better part of a decade. Someone who admitted on Conan O'brien's show that she kissed a man on the set of one of HER shows without consent, and joked about firing her staff if they said anything - something that would have instantly ended the career of any male confessor of such a heinous act. If you're going to have standards, at least hold yourself to the same standards you set for others. Otherwise, I think there's a term for that. Double....double...hmm, I just can't recall...

[@natecallon9755]

She grew up rich and privileged, and as a woman of color in Hollywood in 2023 she can’t just settle with that, wants to abuse power to the infinity realm and just bask in the shield of “if you dont like my show you’re racist”. Imagine if she was born white and male…

[@TheAngryXenite]

And don't forget, Kaling ironically experienced greater privilege than the majority of people, white or otherwise, in this country. She grew up the child of two parents with good paying jobs in a very affluent neighborhood, went to an Ivy League school on their dime, and immediately went into a career writing for Hollywood, I believe. SHE is the trust fund baby, while Fred (who in most portrayals is middle class at best: ironically I believe Shaggy is actually the one coming from money) just gets sacked with it because... I don't know.

I seriously could have written your life experience, that's one hell of an echo to mine. My opinion though is that there's one key component you are overlooking: the pseudo left and pseudo right you're talking about are, basically, professional victims that look as hard as they can for offense, giving those who follow them an example of the "other" to fear and hate. Prime example. I've yet to meet a Latino who doesn't loathe "Latinx" as is sh1ts on their language. I dunno. They've trashed the term left, progressive...these should be positive terms for people trying to make the world better. But, at the end of the day, it is easier to tear something down than to build something up.

[@BigJay039]

@@TheAngryXenite It's kind of funny, actually. Asians, and specifically Indians, tend to score higher on standardized tests and make more money than European Whites.

[@loonu1991]

I am a South Asian and I grew up watching the original Scooby Doo series and I absolutely loved it.

In old English, "man" meant what we now call human and has still been used in that way since. "Were" and "Wif" meant man and woman, respectively, regarding gender. Those are, of course, recognizable as evolving into the 'were' in werewolf and the word "wife". Etymology is kinda interesting.

But I guess you mean it in the way that nothing else for the remainder of the year can top Velma, but I respectfully disagree, I expect we're only getting started.

[@sdg172]

Man, there is a helluva a lot of shite being pumped out on TV at the moment

[@klontjespap]

hollywood is an open sewer lol

[@cobrakats7440]

What I've gathered from the Velma reviews is that Mindy Kaling is basically her character from The Office in real life.

[@xFlareLeon]

She's her character in every show because she's a talentless hack.

[@CharleneOrtizTraining]

I love how she makes that snide white girls with too much money comment when her dad is a lawyer!

[@elvinhayes7120]

There's one good thing about Velma: it's the perfect target for your witty videos! I laughed long and hard, Disparu. Keep it up!

[@hariman7727]

This show is somehow the most perfect self parody by attempting a takedown of everyone else they want to mock. It's like that song "Ironic". It fails so hard it embodies what it wanted to be in the opposite direction.

[@oxymoron136]

And pleasse do not ever never forget how genious your editing is

[@disparutoo]

Lol I edit how I would like to watch, and I also kinda edit assuming people watch at 2x speed simply because that's how I watch all of youtube (and the speed I edit at). Might be why my videos run longer than most. I know the style isn't for everyone, maybe it's too jumpy, doesn't really rest on a point too much and by the time one things finished we're off to the next. But that's what I like about it. Came out of a requirement because I know I can waffle on on a point, so this makes me keep the pace going.

[@xiii0722]

@@disparutoo oooh, makes sense. Thanks for the insight. Your fast paste humour style is very on point and adds a lot if I am honest.

[@fabienz31]

It feels like the show randomly switch from political statement to cartoonish stuff, but without any indication. It was probably evident for writers, but the audience can't know that. And honestly from a story telling perspective, you can't expect the audience to switch gear like that all the time and all that is without even addressing the issues of body shaming, rude characters, etc...

[@ttuurrttlle]

5:40 I assume he meant to say "February the 29th" not "January" or am I missing the joke?

[@ReformedSauron]

No, I thought the same.

[@jonthemachine1970]

When Mindy was on the Office she watched every pretty new girl added to the cast rise to stardom over her because they were prettier than her. Obviously she hates herself and has severe Daddy issues.

[@FeralChaos2012]

Why do I get the feeling the "big payoff" at the end of this abominable trainwreck, is it being Velma's mother commiting the murders, trying to pin it on her daughter, as some form of petty payback?

[@xiii0722]

Now that you mention it, yeah, could very well be. But I'm sure whoever is gonna be the murderer, they are gonna give him/her a bottom rock stupid motive and the show is gonna depict it as "yea, makes sense"

[@BigJay039]

Nah. It'll be Fred's dad. Only other White male.

[@MariaIsabellaZNN]

He kinda looks like nordic Chad meme face.

[@Right_Said_Brett]

Velma is one of the greatest examples of a show invoking the Mary Sue trope of all time; she's literally a self-insert for Mindy Kaling. Kaling has hijacked an existing series and character in order to shout her worldview through a metaphorical loud speaker.

[@mightymoose6793]

At least watching it with your commentary is enjoyable

[@sturmunddrang1132]

I am just going with the assumption that this show exists in an alternate universe where they never transitioned away from leaded fuel

[@UncensoredScion]

could I really ask for one tiny thing? Can we get you to use google translate to replace Mindy Kalings voice in all clips because the inclusion of her voice is a war crime

[@Lord_Numpty]

(Checks how it sounds) Oh, that's beautiful!

[@DeetotheDubs]

Need to add a clause to Geneva Conventions on torture.

[@blodguizer]

I was sad to hear that Frank Welker, the voice of Fred since the character was created, is involved with this dumpster fire providing the voice of Fred's father.

[@insane_troll]

7:50 - Wait a minute... aren't you your own boss??

[@lingricen8077]

I’m his boss. I have multiple employees spread throughout the globe. Disparu is my head of Funko Organisation department and the part-time lounge piano player.

[@killrgruve671]

I believe the movie Not-Shaggy is referencing was called Can’t Buy Me Love, released in 1987.

[@juliuszhorst8083]

"Lock her up" was a reference to Trump supporters chanting "Lock her up" (meaning Clinton) at rallies.

[@CookingwithJamesG]

Weird how a video about Velma can lead to learning about the origins of “man”

[@S4ns]

If you make a show, and relatively few people rant about how much they hate it, they might be trolls. If you make a show, and EVERYONE hates it, YOU'RE THE TROLL. YOU, MINDY, YOU'RE THE TROLL.

[@S4ns]

The only positive thing about this show is that it's exposed how horrifically unfunny Mindy Kaling is.

[@tizza963]

Loving these reviews, hope you do the whole season :) 👍🏿

[@madginger3634]

[@alancheatley4378]

Velma 11 episodes and maybe a second season, Police Squad only one season and 6 episodes, pulled from the network 🤯

[@Kevin_Street]

But to be fair, there was no way they could've kept up the quality if Police Squad ran for a full season. The sheer number of jokes in each episode is amazing. Velma seems like it would be much easier to write.

[@bradwolf07]

Despite the fact they are totally sh*tting on Fred, they made him the most likeable of the characters. I find that hilariously incompetent of Mindy "Painfully Unfunny" Kailing. Veldy is such an unlikeable monster, I don't blame the mother character for fleeing for her lives

[@waylander9265]

Basic rule for solving a crime; means, motive and opportunity. Every character in this show goes “ oh he/she has a motive, it must be them”. Then immediately proceeds to the next step of the legal system. I understand this is supposed to be a comedy but if they want to mix with the mystery genre then they can at least put some effort into making a mystery and providing evidence, rather than jumping back and forth between guilty and not guilty.

[@klontjespap]

yeah but profiling is raycis lol

[@Monty2289]

The thing about South Asian and the dreaded term Pacific East Islander is that people who are actually from those areas. India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines. These people likely hate those terms.

[@korbandallas8931]

This is fun to watch....wait til ep. 3 !

[@TheIceMan23]

i just watched two ads for watching two minutes of this video.. my way to thank disparu for going through sh*t like Velma

[@tazisayshi]

In Geography there is a difference between South East Asia, which includes countries like Vietnam and Thailand and South Asia which mainly includes India.

[@rayanderson5797]

So it seems like the central piece of "evidence" in this mystery is whether or not someone would or could commit the crime. No talk of a murder weapon, fingerprints, any kind of hard physical evidence. Can't say I'm right about that but, shit I'm not going to actually watch this trash to find out

[@PS4sos21]

As the saying goes, if everyone is a troll then no one is a troll...

[@lingricen8077]

When everyones super

[@sirubisan698]

The sounds like a step-by-step process of how to proceed ever forward to societal collapse starting with the individual

[@MirandaSinistra]

It is an American trope to not realize South Asia is a big place but the fact that Mindy is Indian makes that even more hilarious.

[@sebastianromero3393]

It could also come from the fact that if you try to be more specific and get it wrong, the internet will burn you alive for it.

[@SamtheBravesFan]

I've never thought of South Asia as an actual concept until these past few years.

[@Anten-Isy]

@SamtheBravesFan . Well ig people got pissed that they were calling pakistanis Bangladeshis and Sri Lankans Indians and just came up with the umbrella term south asian. Although it still is a sub continent

[@ad-sd-vids5332]

In the last 6 months we’ve gotten 5 of the worst tv shows of all time- she hulk, rings of power, Willow, Witcher blood origin, and Velma

[@lingricen8077]

And the worst game of 2022 god of war ragnarok

[@toodlescae]

Well I've seen reactions to episode 3 & 4. I swear one guy almost lost his will to live while watching.

[@Moth-man]

Plot twist: mindy kaling is actually a robot being piloted by scrappy doo, who’s trying to get revenge for his character assassination by assassinating everyone else’s character. Based on the movie we know he’d pull some horse piss like this

[@MediaManPower]

It's literally like they're trying to one-up each other in how much of a shitty show they can make. Holy crap. Thanks for suffering for us, Disparu. You're a hero in my book.

[@MariaIsabellaZNN]

Yeah at this point, it should require actual effort to keep doing WORSE. I'm almost morbidly curious where they will go next..

[@lingricen8077]

I didnt think they could come up with something worse than santa inc

[@whiterabbit75]

With "jokes" like the ones on this show, how are they still surprised when people say it's a psyop, or ironic humor making fun of the NPCs?

[@paulwolfley7785]

They hate fans more than they like money 💰

[@lahazard]

When right and left these days are at each other's throats, when they DO stand together, you nailed it, Disparu, it's time Mindy takes a look at herself. It's not racism, or misogyny, or homophobia giving Velma a truly rotten score. It's BAD WRITING!

[@AJTalon]

Right and left needs to stand up against the assholes in charge.
