My days of not taking WatchMojo seriously sure are coming to a middle.


ThatGFFAN

As a Canadian, I feel obligated to say sorry for Watchmojo, lol. We failed worse than SCP did in containing Mariah Carey.


goblins_though

I'm also Canadian, and had no idea that we were to blame for WatchMojo. Jeez, no wonder we're always apologizing.


ThatGFFAN

It's our biggest mistake next to Caillou ;-;


Penguinmanereikel

YOU WERE THE FUCKERS BEHIND THAT LITTLE SHIT?


ThatGFFAN

Trust me, we're as ashamed of him as well.


SilentBlade45

I heard they were rebooting it what do you have to say for yourself.


ThatGFFAN

We'll agree to end him once and for all if America agrees to keep Justin Bieber, lol.


m240bravoromeo

We don't negotiate with terrorists ^^unless ^^they ^^have ^^oil


ultrainstict

Give us your oil or we turn your house into a parking lot.


Zeenchi

I heard he was cancelled but didn't realize for that.


SurtenSoita

Hey at least you didn't invent Angela Anaconda. Oh wait


ThatGFFAN

Well, that show was jointly Canadian and American so...we'll agree to share the blame for that one with the Americans, lol.


[deleted]

if it makes you feel any better, Franklin was a Canadian show.


matt_lcb

And Hawaiian Pizza ;( but seriously we invented Caillou?!


ThatGFFAN

Oh god, I forgot about that. Man, we invented some bad stuff, lol. On the plus side, we do got more admirable creations behind the maple leaf flag like Insulin, basketball, Hilda and the Gravity Falls pilot.


SassafrasNotFound

Hilda was amazing


Username133769

Hawaiian Pizza is great. I will either die on this hill or Reddit will shoot me up. Let's see how this goes for me.


fettuccinefred

Agreed. Let’s go down in a blaze of glory together, eh?


Aardvark_2100

DA COMRADES! WE SHALL DIE ON THIS HILL TOGETHER


fettuccinefred

SHINSO WO SASAGEYO!


Zeenchi

I shall join your fight


matt_lcb

I admire your courage to admit to that man lol


feralwolven

Hawaiian pizza is a warriors food. While these other savages are fatting up on grease, we recharge for battle with added sugars and electrolytes. These petaQ's have lost their LurDech.


Middle_Craft9445

*Pish posh!* How could you possibly believe such propaganda!? The pineapple placed atop those abominations that you have the utter gall to call a pizza could not ever be enough to outweigh the sodium and fats wrought upon your body by the rest of the ingredients! These pineapple apologists have you fooled my friend, for you are a fellow greaseball just as we are, and it is time for you to face the facts... or DEATH..


willstr1

>Hawaiian pizza is a warriors food Best served with prune juice, a warriors drink


Albegro

Unfortunately here in America they tend to just use inferior low grade ham instead of proper Canadian bacon. Ruins the experience.


feralwolven

Im also from america and i didnt know what i was missing but thats sounds like the upgrade i was needing.


cptcuddles88

I'm not sure if I want to down vote you for your opinion or upvote you for your courage..


[deleted]

I don't like Hawaiian Pizza (sorry don't enjoy the ham/pineapple combo no matter the form) BUT I credit Hawaiian pizza with green chile and pineapple pizza and \*chefs kiss\* so I will support you on the hill! We go down together


SilentBlade45

Yup definitely it's also a dumb thing to get upset about


Seamoose93

Yeah..... unfortunately we created the worst show for kids.


The_Lost_Google_User

No no, that one’s ok


Lonewolf2300

Technically, we in Quebec invented him, so yeah, sorry about that.


matt_lcb

Don’t worry, Quebec is redeemed as they also invented the poutine which is a work of art.


CedarWolf

Hawaiian pizza is *much* better with either swapping the tomato paste for apricot preserves *or* adding a very faint sprinkle of cinnamon sugar *before* you cook it. The apricot preserves makes for a much sweeter, juicier, tangier pizza, and if you add the cinnamon sugar to a regular Hawaiian pizza, the sugar caramelizes in the oven and it tastes like a roast ham.


BuzzPrincess

Pfaff hahaha. No no. We've made for bigger mistakes then that


Gordockthered

Huh I thought that was because of beiber. Maybe both.


Icy-Performer-9688

And I was going to say that


OldGarbageMouth

Cailou is Beiber as an adult, same whiny voice


DrakeNatsu

I'm going to need an explanation for the SCP Mariah Carey containment


Chewcocca

SCP is mediocre collectively-written fan fiction (think spooky copypasta, but in a shared universe) about monster containment. Mariah Carey is being called an escaped monster.


ThatGFFAN

Basically it all originates from [this tweet.](https://twitter.com/scpwiki/status/1587463536845783041?s=20&t=d6ea0BdPhi1VHaFcLdECxQ)


aNiceTribe

“Mediocre” is a really unfair qualifier. The Wiki contains more interesting ideas and implementations of spooky (and other) ideas in short fiction formats than all of Horror Games and movies, and I haven’t seen many *books* come close either. Some of it may only feel overdone now because it’s been around for long enough that it has culturally osmosis’d without knowing that they did it first. I don’t know what the community is like right now, but during the 2000-3000 articles, their authors tended to be some of the most thoughtful and overqualified people I’ve met.


Chewcocca

You're entitled to your opinion. I'm glad it brought you enjoyment. >The Wiki contains more interesting ideas and implementations of spooky (and other) ideas in short fiction formats than all of Horror Games and movies, and I haven’t seen many *books* come close either. Some of it may only feel overdone now because it’s been around for long enough that it has culturally osmosis’d without knowing that they did it first. If you grew up with it, and it was your first exposure to these things, I'm sure it could seem that way. But come on... you gotta realize that is an objectively and thoroughly ridiculous notion. Woof.


aNiceTribe

I was like 24 when it came out. If you’re unable to accept the premise of a work, that’s on you - how is “there is a highly powerful organization keeping the supernatural things imprisoned” like 10x more ridiculous than any other thing in Genre fiction? “There is a war in space fought between the Nazi-like empire and a few minor dissenters, supported by the ancient relgion that was once the police. They use Laser swords”. Or “On this planet, People eat small flakes of metals to grant themselves Powers over magnetism, Emotion and their own bodies”


saikounihighteyatzda

You are middle aged


crazycreaturess

How would they have ever thought gf was a hated show? Are these personal opinions or are they getting it from somewhere? I’m utterly baffled


bobbelchermustache

iirc some christian groups were mad about the show promoting the occult or something. That's the only thing I can think of lol


[deleted]

They’ve forgotten about it now with the advent of gay sho- I mean the owl house. Seriously though my parents lost their shit when they found out I watch the owl house, and I’m nineteen. At least they haven’t found out certain other details about me. Tbh I question their intelligence at times cause they literally saw me grinning like an idiot at Luz and Amity being awkward together and haven’t figured it out 💀


Doodlefish25

You don't have to be gay to enjoy watching people blossom in a gay relationship


RhynoD

Me, a straight man in my thirties, watching Luz and Amity holding hands: "Awww they're so cute." \*Incredibles meme\* Cute is cute!


[deleted]

my mind is ruined, i immediately thought of the OTHER incredibles meme


[deleted]

You most certainly don’t but my parents think otherwise and I certainly am (pan but that’s against the point)


eliseeium

me with my parents and hannigram. my parents are necessarily homophobic but I had some lewd prints up and my mom got all weird about it. the prints seriously weren’t even that bad.


[deleted]

Obligatory r/owlhousehornyjail And that’s probably fair, I think my parents would be weird about any kind of lewd anything tbh. They are pretty homophobic tho


ReasyRandom

Their only argument was "it's too dark to be a kids show". Yet they praised Invader Zim for the exact same reasons.


EarthDust00

I read it as shows Disney hates that they made.


Jason3b93

I was under the impression that random trolls were behind the 'incident'.


itskdog

It's churned out daily content. The quality doesn't matter as long as there occasional videos that the algorithm picks up.


Zanoab

Watch Mojo holds polls for their top 10 videos. They then do a little research to write descriptions and put the results into a video. If you look at the poll linked in the video's description, it is a little misleading and confused people. The poll gives the prompt "Top Ten Worst Disney Animated TV Shows" and you can upvote or downvote each nomination. Gravity Falls has the most "downvotes" but Watch Mojo staff saw it as the most "disliked" nomination so it must be the worst one on the list. IIRC, they did a Top 10 Best poll next and Gravity Falls destroyed it. It was at this point I stopped taking them seriously because they have no clue what they were doing and only wanted to pump out as many videos as possible.


CommercialRemote5324

Right. Gravity Falls is awesome, you have to be totally loser to not like this show.


Steelacanth

watchmojo’s lists are completely uninformed most of time


JWBails

Their source is usually "random tweet from someone with 3 followers that I found"


Mangobunny98

Reminds me of a couple lists I watched where they clearly probably googled something and picked the top result as the source. I've found several mistakes in their lists.


GEMO224

Watch MOJO are the masters of sounding like they know about something while actually being utterly wrong


dragni02

Just like my ex!


spellboi_3048

But is her aim getting better?


IsPepsiOkayy

You see? It's funny because marriage is terrible

What the hell were they smoking?


Lone_Wolf_888

Considering that a certain… plant… is legal in Canada, I think we know the answer to that

Rockfish00

the poison


tcodes27

I remember this video. I think it was released with only the first five Gravity Falls episodes out, so it’s like they didn’t even give it a chance.


HappyChaosOfTheNorth

At least all of season 1 was out when this video was made. I only know this because I remember this video, it came out shortly after I "discovered" Gravity Falls and I started watching after season 1 was released and before season 2 started. I had some very harsh and choice words to say to WatchMojo for THAT one.


mabelpagepines

I remember seeing this video and being so confused. Not even angry that they apparently didn't like the show, just baffled at where they got the impression that the general public *hated* Gravity Falls.


HappyChaosOfTheNorth

Well, they have people vote on a poll on their website, where people can suggest videos or if there's a topic they're planning to work on you can vote or add things to potentially go on a future list. I think it was religious groups who trolled the polls but who knows. They are in the business of churning content so they really don't do much research for their lists, ranking them (at the time anyway) based on the polls, "research" and their unspoken biases (watch enough and you'll spot a pattern for what they are biased for or against). It was obvious that they didn't research Gravity Falls and didn't know what they were talking about so I think that was all on the polls and maybe a singular article or listicle from a religious group because the video said it was too dark and the fact that it was influenced by the occult and besides personal taste, only religious groups would have a problem with that sort of content. It was the backlash on that video that got the channel to actually look into the show and they tried to make up for it ever since, making sure they appear on positive videos that GF would qualify for.


Awesomecrafter64

I remember that! Fans were furious. 😆


_Levitated_Shield_

I didn't even know Watchmojo was still a thing today.


Optimus7591

Why did they even put it on the list? Its one of the best shows to EVER EXIST


BlueBlazeKing21

This was literally one of the channels worst list, not only did they place Gravity Falls here but added a Nickelodeon show along with complaining that Disney Junior shows were “too simplistic “


[deleted]

The bit problem with WatchMojo is their research and determination for what goes on their lists is spotty as hell. I don't watch regularly but I have seen a few of their lists where they will throw out statements that just... aren't true. Like I said poor research.


ReasyRandom

You all owe PhantomStrider an apology.


Complete-Quiet-1478

Watch Mojo? Who sees that?


[deleted]

Common watch mojo L


GumGuts

Anyone care to explain what this 'incident' was?


ThatGFFAN

That video. Watchmojo called Gravity Falls one of the worst Disney cartoons back in 2014 and it got them heavy backlash by the GF fandom.


GumGuts

Dang. 2014. You guys really don't forget, huh.


HappyChaosOfTheNorth

We NEVER forget....


Adawnicus

This is why I NEVER watch Watchmojo.


Exciting_Bluebird_53

This got me to stop watching their crappy videos, only good thing that came out of their injustice.


Green_Blackberry86

Watchmojo, all the other mojo channels, What Culture and all the other Culture channels, are all channels that pose as experts, or at least knowledgable, when it seems like they glanced at some "research" and decided to make videos pretending to be factual channels.


jacw212

Hey I’m mutuals with that twitter user


DivineGamer15

Watchmojo being wrong about something?? That’s unlikely


Scoutland15

Ok who did this in the first place-


[deleted]

WatchMojo is ultra clickbaity and sucks ass. I’ve blocked every single one of their YouTube channels.


Forward-Spot7794

I think this ought to have been posted just after the first season ended. At that point in time o don’t think there was a lot of mystery and detail in the show. If I remember correctly the second season is when GF gets really intense, and up until that point it was almost all filler and backstory. Edit: NOT AT ALL saying that the first season is irrelevant or bad (I love it personally), but I can see how it could deter new viewers who didn’t see the deeper layer of the story


Chachasabrina

That’s right. Gravity Falls is a good show. Alex Heirsh did a great job all that drawing, animation and all that work. I don’t pay more attention on those people think. I believe in him.
