Ramble: Obscure movies, etc you experienced as a child but no one knows what you're talking about

Oh my god, while I've never seen "Grandpa's Magical Toys", it has kinda featured on a few episodes of RedLetterMedia's Wheel of the Worst!

Bi Zuko

Shockingly, I've seen all of these except Nick and Noel. My siblings LOVED Wee Sing in Sillyville, and I remember really liking the art in the Serendipity books. I recently went down a rabbit hole trying to remember a weird nightmare fuel kid's movie I saw on PBS when I was little and found out it was called The Talking Parcel. It's totally on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHdxHjl5lTw over here if anyone's interested), but I have yet to meet anyone else who remembers it.

Einhazard

Sillyville dude, Sillyville

CSJ

Seeing the clips / description of We Sing for Sillyville was so weird. When you described the wrapping the multicolor bandage something stirred in my brain and when you showed clips it showed me something that I have never been able to recall what it was from but occasionally wished I did. I later ran into most of those songs when I went to summer camp.

Lianne Lairmore

Canadian here, I just wanted to chime in (Multiple years later) to confirm that Basil is, in fact, a polar bear. He was usually paired up with Louis the Otter, the other major Canadian Sesame Street Muppet who pops up briefly in the intro for Basil Hears a Noise Jenny showed in the video.

Steven Alphonse

I was trying to remember the title of We Sing in Sillyville literally yesterday. And I didn't even dare ask/google it because I was hoping it was a fever dream. But alas, it was not.

TENGU

Ahhhh I absolutely remember Serendipity!! I started singing the song as soon as she was mentioned! 😂💖

Allison Burleson

We loved Nick and Noel in my house too! We still have the plush stored away somewhere

Toly

I HAVE NICK AND NOEL!! I USED TO WATCH IT ALL THE TIME!

Kotah

I can't get over how cute Serendipity is

Ella M

v late to the game here, but we had Wee Sing Sillyvile and the Magic Musical Mansion on VHS and rediscovering them has been A Gift

Simsaysam

Some YouTube weirdness: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHVzXD-TVTU

Why are the last 2 videos coming up as private for me? Is it an issue my end or have they been made private

Laura Moore

I nearly cried finding out what 'Wee Sing Sillyville' was called thanks to you. They made us watch this in school in like the second grade for some reason. Ain't it great to be crazy?

one hundred folks

There was a claymation Christmas movie that my mum got a DVD of for free with a magazine that I watched so much as a kid called Holidaze The Christmas That Almost Didn't Happen. It's from 2006 and it's about Rudolph's little brother, and a kid who doesn't believe in Santa, and they have to go on a quest to update the north pole's operating system so that christmas can happen. It was full of product placement for everything from campbell's soup to Ask dot com, there was this queer-coded "starving actor working as a mall santa" character, there was "holiday icons anonymous" in a church basement, a running gag where the turkey character from that group keeps being the subject of murder attempts by a chef, what the hell even was this movie

Void WL

Milo and Otis is why my cat I got as a kid was named Milo

Kate Weinberger

SERENDIPITY, THE PINK DINOSAUR! I LOVED that shit when I was a kid. We had it on VHS. The way they said her name in the song will never leave me.

Kate Weinberger

Why is the video private now?

Will Seamon

Wow as soon as you said "Cutting the beans really thin" I immediately knew what you were talking about even though I wasn't really even paying attention to the video lol Also Serendipity is exactly the type of thing I would have watched on an old VHS in aftercare at school.

Kristen

I don't know how obscure these all are, but as a kid in Canada I remember watching Toad Patrol and sometimes the Silverwing cartoon (which was based on some books I also really liked). When I was really young, I remember going to my grandma's house and watching a movie called "Milo and Otis" about a cat and dog getting lost and having a big adventure. Probably had some animal cruelty upon reflection.) Two movies I remember liking a lot that feel kind of on the borderline of this (but I've never figured out how popular they were) are Bartok the Magnificent (Don Bluth's Anastasia sequel) and the Alice in Wonderland '99 TV movie (which I feel can't be TOO obscure since Whoopi Goldberg, Ben Kingsley, and Gene Wilder, among quite a few other well-known actors were in it). As a long-time fan of the book, I remember liking that version of Alice in Wonderland the best out of all adaptations, but I don't remember if either of those movies hold up or not.

Markus D

I know I'm reviving a months-old thread, but I remember reading Serendipity books as a child and had no idea there was a Serendipity movie! Just learning that has made my patreon subscription worth it. So sorry about the Twitter harassment, I hope things have gotten better.

Jane Fielder

aw bud i'm sorry that's happening to you on twitter. it must be really anxiety provoking to even go on twitter right now. i hope things get better soon. when i was three i remember my mom snapping "that's it! from now on you need permission to use the VCR!" and then closing herself in her bedroom because i was watching "wee sing together" over and over and over, so i found it on youtube last year and it is horrible but i cried because #nostalgia

betp

I had a Wee Sing piano! My mom worked for PBS in the late 80s and early 90s, so a lot of my toys were free promotional items from shows. I never saw the show but I knew it was connected to something on TV.

BrittaBott

Actually I still want to eat the big fruit/candy things that grew on trees in BRCM. And the giant pink bunny villain (little bunny froo froo) was truly terrifying! But I was still so obsessed!

Lindzzz

Big Rock Candy Mountain and Sillyville were my faves. I would rent them from the library on loop. I think there was a Christmas themed one too?

Lindzzz

My brain unlocked the Wee Sing memories a couple years back. I was in college and it was finals week but once I googled extensively enough to realize the scene flashbacks I was having weren’t dreams/nightmares, I in fact stayed up to watch the entire things on YouTube.

Lindzzz

I got a Serendipity story in a collection of fairytales I got from Costco. I loved that sea dragon TTATT (Also a book of a puppy named Rhubarb)

Pterranodon

Does ANYONE remember Kid Songs with the Biggles? The giant, almost furby-like fursuit creatures?? please someone validate me lol 😭😭

Maglogster

I'm from san mateo and then lived in eureka/arcata!!

Margaret K

me too!

Margaret K

I SHOULD HAVE WAITED TO COMMENT! I WATCHED NICK AND NOEL OBSESSIVELY AS A (Jewish) CHILD!!!! I legitimately thought I made it up!

Emily Dennen

Oh my goddd I know I’m late to the party but seeing WeeSings unlocked lost footage in my brain! I think there was one where they sang Big Rock Candy Mountain that played on a loop when I was a kid in the early 90s!

Emily Dennen

This was me with the christmas specials "the nuttiest nutcracker" in which the nutcracker is narrated (kinda) by talking nuts, and this one about the 12 days of christmas. Both, as I've now checked on youtube, have less than 20k views. Also this weird animated show called Walter Melon.

Ginny

Oh my god! I had no idea what “We Sing Sillyville” was called but I remember it!! Our music teacher in Elementary school would show it occasionally.

JoTheRiveting

Despite my childhood love of Serendipity and those books leading to a very bullied young boy, they hold a special place in my heart.

Adam Greene

If I had a nickel for every time a piece of Japanese media has had a tropical bird testify in court, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s pretty weird that it’s happened twice.

Jiminy's Journal

My mom played grandpas magical toys for us ALL THE TIME! It gave me nightmares and still does to this day! We still have the DVD to it for some reason!

Jacob Christy

I had a few Wee Sing movies in vhs at my grandmothers! My favorite was Wee Sing train bahaha

Brooke Parnell

Oh my gosh, I LOVED the Serendipity books! They had an extra aura of mystique for me because my elementary school library had like, 40 of them, but they were in their own special basket instead of on the shelf and you were NOT allowed to check them out. You could only read them in the library, so I used to very quickly get my book to check out and then sit in the corner and read Serendipity books until it was time to leave.

Abby M.

Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh you have to do one about DINOTOPIA aaaaaaaahhhhhh🦖🦕

Eamonn

Best thing I ever did was delete my twitter. Also Im remembering my obscure movie, Sparkies Magic Piano.

Moo Mel

I literally shook and gasped when you said Wee Sing in Silly Ville, I was thinking of it from the second I saw the video title :o

Micah Saunders

"And obviously that's inspired by Candle Cove." I suggested that prompt and I've never read that specific cp. I just assumed I have brain damage.

Karmaeda (from Cars 3)

Oh gosh, I remember The Wizard of Speed and Time! It was on New Zealand television sometime around the mid-90's (in a sort of midday school holiday slot), and I sadly caught only about the last half hour of it. I distinctly remember the main character running down a highway at speed (sort of like the Flash). I don't think it was ever on tv here after that, but I've always wanted to see the whole thing. I see someone has uploaded it to YouTube with the director's permission; I'll have to get around to watching it. Thank you for reminding me of this movie!

Rushka Unverricht

My mystery movie was called The Wizard of Speed and Time. It's an extremely special effects-heavy live action film from the mid-80s created primarily by one guy, who stars in the movie as himself as a guy making a movie. His real producer played the evil producer in the story, and in real life ends up stealing the almost-finished film and selling it to multiple distributors at the same time. So that means that I found it on VHS at my local video store, rented it often, loved it, and also found that I could borrow it from my local library, but they were DIFFERENT CUTS of the movie! This was before DVD and director's cuts being a thing, and also I was maybe 8 or 9, so it was baffling. I'd want to show some uninterested relative a cool scene that was coming up and it just wouldn't be there and I'd seem insane. Also, to take a shot at tying it into something anyone here will care about, the filmmaker, Mike Jittlov, created a short film that was part of the first program to air on the Disney Channel, called Mickey Mania: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jDhksBLK3c

Rob Schultz

I’ve asked hundreds (that’s a lie— dozens) of people over the years whether they’d ever watched The Fool of the World and the Flying Ship. None ever had seen this feature-length Russian claymation. Fortunately it’s now available on YouTube in beautiful HD. The story holds up well IMO: https://youtu.be/Ehxtn24rKhM

BenR

Absolutely BUMPING basil hears a noise 💃💃💃

Pom

100% more Avatar content please!!

Tom Padget

I had a weird creepypasta moment when you kept calling it "We[e] Sing for Sillyville, since we always called it "We Sing Sillyville." And now it turns out it's really "Wee Sing in Sillyville." We also had Wee Sing Dinosaurs -- both of which my sister now has for her (2 and 4-yr-old) children.

Rainbow Gummy Fish

oh my god thank you so much for reviving my memory of serendipity I have such a specific fond memory associated with all her little books I would find on the shelf of my grandmas huge bookcase

Maddy

I think a lot of people have probably seen it, but there was this weird dinosaur claymation from the 80s. It was Call Dinosaurs!: A Fun Filled Trip Back in Time. I first saw it at a lock in at my local museum for like a boyscout trip or something. I fell in love with it. I was completely obsessed with it for a few years, but they never showed it at the museum again, even when they had the cool dinosaur animatronics exhibits. I asked all my friend about it and no one remembered. A few years later I was close to being too cool for dinosaurs when my mom found a VHS copy. I spent the entire summer watching it at least twice a day.

Doomed Gary

1) Addison Cain’s omegaverse reading 2) Another reality series vid 3) Knott's Berry Farm theme park content 4) Avatar content 5) Marvel video 6) Halloween tv movie ranking my rank of interest. Also I'm about your age and I was vaguely aware of most of the stuff you mentioned! Like I instantly knew Nick and Noel was some kind of animated movie, but I'd never actually seen it and I didn't remember it was a toys r us tie in. My lost holy grail of promotional tie ins: a Cocoa Puffs downhill sports game. The music in it was awful in the best way

Zutara Forever

Your grandfather was from Eureka? crazy, I used to live there.

Robert Sager

unfortunately for me all my weird semi obscure childhood film memories are just veggie tales. we basically only watched veggie tales and disney.

Jacqui Sutherland

This reminds me of my own somewhat obscure childhood show, Marchen Awakens Romance (MAR). Basically your run-of-the-mill ‘transported to another world’ show, but with a bunch of anime tropes for boys. Pretty sure the only reason it landed on cartoon network was because the protag had spiky blond hair. But anyways, the first people the main character encounters in the fantasy world are talking rocks. And it just so happens to have a great earworm theme song, specifically the original Japanese one. I loved the American theme as a kid, but now I realize it’s just generic rock to help it fit in with the whole ‘Toonami cool guy’ aesthetic.

Sordahon

Just became a Patron and this video was a hoot. Can't wait to watch some of the old ones. My sympathies over the twitter stuff. You're hardly alone in that, but that doesnt make it any better I suppose. As far as future videos I'm all for spooky content: Reality TV or TV movie.

Zero

Hi this is too late for you to see this but I'm sorry you have to deal with being taken completely out of context or maliciously or whatever. I love your videos and am happy to wait for however long you need to work on them to feel comfortable with them. As for the videos themselves, I'd love to see the omegaverse reading, Halloween TV movie ranking, or the Knots Berry Farm stuff

ageoftheexile .

I never saw Mickey and the Beanstalk, but they also do the bean bit in Mickey's Christmas Carol! https://youtu.be/FNoqIxnGJ7Q?t=45 Always here for theme park content, and I'm intrigued by more Avatar.

Chris Tierney

Ohmigod so my mother's side is Japanese and I remember seeing the Serendipity anime. I've seen Japanese posters with it! I feel like that anime just punched me in the face with nostalgia.

Miko Sullivan

And F twitter

Lawrence Whiteside

Can I got out on a limb and suggest, more Jenny watching old stuff and just diggin it. "Cut the Bean!"

Lawrence Whiteside

I literally gasped out loud when I heard "Serendipity" because YES

Rose

kinda late but i’d really like to see omegaverse reading or the spooky reality series :)

LR

Spectacular glasses. I have the same frames, I receive a lot of compliments on them, but yours? I bow down before how awesome *your* eyeglasses are.

Samori Augusto

I'm pretty sure I found the show I mentioned above! It was a mid 80's BBC tv movie called The Galactic Garden: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0395550/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Galactic_Garden The plot summary on IMDB is as follows: "A pair of space travellers arrive on Earth to study the planet's lifeforms, landing in an English garden. However, on Earth they are about three quarters of an inch tall and therefore find themselves encountering its natural and giant indigenous life, such as worms, spiders, goldfish and a tortoise." I could have sworn there was a family involved, so I guess child me remembered something wrongly! This movie must be extremely obscure as I can't find any trace of it on YouTube. The best I could find visually was a screencap showing the vegetable ship: https://www.paulcornell.com/wp-content/uploads/hqdefault-1-1.jpg Anyway, I'm glad to have that monkey off my back! I wasn't hallucinating all those years ago...

Rushka Unverricht

I remember when I was quite young in the late 80's watching about 5-10 minutes of a children's sci-fi show about a family that lived inside of a vegetable spaceship. These people were vegetable height, and the spaceship was a sort of cucumber or something similar. They travelled around an Edwardian (at least in hindsight it feels this way) garden in this ship doing god knows what; I didn't watch enough to absorb much of the plot. It felt very British (kids' tv in NZ at that time was pretty 50/50 American or UK in origin), and as I recall it had very 80's Doctor Who level effects, so I imagine it would look awful now. I must have gone outside to play after about 10 mins and never saw any of it again, but the weird imagery kind of stuck in my head all these years. No one I've ever mentioned this to has ever had any memory of this show at all! About 15 years ago I web searched a bunch of obscure tv/film stuff from childhood, and this was just about the only thing I could never find any info about. Inspired by this topic, I think I'll try searching for it again later today. Sorry to hear about the Twitter issues. Just remember there are many more genuine fans of yours than nitpicking fools. The fools just tend to walk around with megaphones. 

Rushka Unverricht

1. Halloween TV movie ranking 2. Knott's Berry Farm 3. Spooky reality series!

Amanda Tyler

When Jenny mentioned Mickey sliding the bean I went back in time. Watching the footage was so satisfying.

Brittny Bush

Is Star Wars Land Part 2 still in progress?

Jennifer W

After two years of YT subscribing. I am now a patreon. How saucy. I wanted to celebrate with a comment somewhere of how excited I am and I'm choosing to do so here.

The Data Wizard

I saw this title and I was like "maybe Jenny will say that anime I can never remember" then the last one was Serendipity books and I was like "oh shoot" then Jenny showed the movie I was desperately trying to remember. I thought I had dreamed it.

S.R. Harper

I think the halloween tv movie ranking sounds really fun, all of those movies (especially The Halloween Tree and that haunting hour movie that was largely unrelated to the tv series) have fully embedded themselves in my brain forever and I'm sure the same is true of a lot of people. I also really would like to see the omegaverse reading because I'm very curious about it but don't have the gall to read it myself.

Holly L

Any and all spooky content would be very appreciated!

I'm interested in the Knott's Berry Farm video. I've never been and I know literally nothing about it.

Pazuzu

"The Town Santa Forgot" was a great one for me. It's about a kid named Jeremy Creek who is spoiled rotten and then makes a christmas list so long that Santa thinks it has to be for a town, so the elves search a map and find an overlooked town called Jeremy Creek and this town's kids get all his presents and he learns to be generous. Also the MythQuest series that briefly ran on PBS

Will Harwood

i was obsessed with nick and noel, so many memorable little bits 🥺

Maj

There's a large number of modernized Little Red Riding Hoods, but with some more information I believe I can find out what movie this is. First of all, how old are you, ie what year was it when you were 10 years old? Secondly, what kind of accents did people have? British? American? Thirdly, was it live action or animated? Lastly, was it in black and white?

Jerry Nicholson

there was a movie i saw when i was around 10, a modern little red riding hood story, and at one point i distinctly remember the wolf eating someone at the gas station and then shape shifting into him. i’ve scoured the internet and it seems not to exist, but i remember it so vividly!

Max Roth

Just pointing out, even though no one reads the comments: Serendipity had more than that one movie. Someone really needs to buy Jenny a copy of the 26-episode tv series.

UsernameMK

Though I’m a spooky girl all im wanting is this avatar content

Rebekah Spence

Knott's Berry Farm theme park content

Jess Baker

Anything with reading is great!

Allen M

Halloween for sure!! :D

jakeonaut

Halloween sounds like the most in season! And I'm sorry about people on twitter. Some people think calling out people some how makes them the most woke and makes them more powerful. It's really weird

Sabrina Gaul

They all sound good but I'd say I'm most excited about the Halloween and reality series ones. Really vibing with the spooky stuff.

Christine Rose

Knotts

The Nott Family

i need spooky Jenny Nicholson content 🖤🧡 my go to vids for Halloween are Worst Ghost Hunting Show of All Time and the GHOSTalgic one and Dark Internet Rituals. They have become Halloween essentials.

Aria Velz

Reality tv series!

Annie Doherty

I'd be interested in the reality series.

Tierney Grim

Halloween & Knotts Berry Farm both sound great!

Zoe Fetters

twitter is such a cesspit that I've seen tear down so many content creators, maybe take a break? To answer the question, I'd love to see another reality tv series deep dive.

mizushimo

I had the Wee Sing Marvelous Musical Mansion and Big Rock Candy Mountain! Certain songs and moments are just lodged in my brain forever.

Emily Franzen

I always find omegaverse content entertaining. It's so funny

Paul Petts

omegaverse reading sounds fantastic!!! also the halloween tv movies! halloween town was and is my jam

Spencer Hubbard

Halloween tv movie ranking sounds super fun

Juliette

I swear I read somewhere that Carl Banks based Duckburg off of Eureka, California.

Blue Corn

Spooky reality series vid and whatever that year-old marvel video is

Claire Tourigny

I vote for Halloween tv movie ranking :)

vannesie bowie

I vote for spooky reality TV :)

Beth Gootzeit

KNOTTS BERRY FARM! I've been so jacked about that since it first came up, like, a year ago.

The Choll

halloween movie, reality show, or knotts berry!!

jcunni7

I like the idea of another avatar vid! But honestly your best videos are the ones that you’re the most interested in

Sara Nicole

I'm so sorry and sad you're feeling stressed :( I'm sure that even if the number of people being ultra critical is a tiny percentage, it can still feel overwhelming. Hopefully you can take some small amount of comfort in the fact that the vast majority of your viewers really love what you do and aren't analyzing every word you say for some perceived transgression. As for your next video, your humor and intelligence make every video you put out super entertaining, so I would honestly just vote for whatever is the most exciting for you personally. Maybe eventually you'll feel comfortable enough to release the almost-completed video too. Bottom line: take care of yourself, whatever that entails.

Rachel

I really love "Jenny reads a terrible novel," they're great to cook to, but I worry Addison Cain is... litigious. Knott's Berry Farm is something I'm only vaguely aware of and very much want to hear a theme park expert describe to me. I'm sorry Twitter jerks have been so fierce lately, you don't deserve that.

Dan Gibbins

Sorry to hear you're stressed. Take care of yourself! <3

Chelsea Counsell

I always look forward to your halloween content so would love to see some this year :) I'm also fascinated by knott's berry farm (i'm in the uk) so would love to see that video also haha.

Amy Cowap

majorly into halloween tv movies, spooky reality series and knott's berry farm content

mikey reid-cain

I'd love to see halloween tv movie rankings and knott's berry farm content!

A Girl

avatar or marvel plz

B R

couldn't have said it better. good post :)

Michael Simpson

Very on board for Halloween TV Movie rankings, Knotts Berry Farm and Reality Series (But Spooky) Also just wanted to say I loved this ramble! Even though I don't know any of these things, there's something so universal and cool about discovering something half-remembered from your childhood on YouTube. A strong one for me was this sketch from Sesame Street where Ernie is teaching his niece Ernie to say his name but she only responds with baby-gibberish and throwing blocks which to me was the funniest thing I'd ever seen at 5 years old. Thanks anonymous YouTtube person! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRMXH4UM-Yo&ab_channel=I%27mThisGuy

Joshua Marchant

Hey Jenny, I don't know if you look at the comments on these ever, but my heart hurt seeing you so stressed out. I know I'm just a random dude, but I just wanted to say that your videos bring me a lot of joy, and I look forward to every new one you post. My wife, who isn't a person who watches YouTube really, regularly rewatches the video where you rank all of your porgs. My life is better for having your voice in it. I hope this wasn't weird in the way that strangers complimenting you on the internet can be, but I just know how terrible undue stress and anxiety can be, and I hope you feel better soon.

Brett Buttle

Looking up clips of Wee Sing for Sillyville gave me a powerfully vivid memory of sitting on the floor with with my sisters watching this in the basement of my childhood home. I haven't thought about that movie for more than 20 years.

Brett Buttle

One day I'm going to learn to watch to the end before commenting BUT I would love to see the reality series episode. Your last one was what got me into your channel! I'm also excited for Knott's Content since you've been talking about it for so long! What video got axed? I'm so sorry about how people have been treating you <3

Allison

okay I definitely never saw Serendipity but I absolutely recognize the character. I must have had a friend with a toy or one of the books or something...

Allison

I am CONVINCED I watched a show as a tiny tiny child that starred a pink fuzzy monster and a blue fuzzy monster. my mom swears it didn't exist, she even swore it back when i was a kid. One day I asked her what the name of the show with the monsters was and she had no idea what show I meant, even though I swore I'd watched it the day before.

Allison

My vote would be for a reality series. Your Opposite Worlds video is one of my favorite videos on the internet. Also, anything seasonal/spooky gets my vote.

Brittany Rees

Reality series and Avatar Content. Also I'm sorry you've been having a tough time on Twitter. Twitter sucks when it's people trying to play a game of who is more woke which results in people not looking at tweets in good faith and/or adding a context to a tweet that did not exist before. This ramble video made me smile <3

Brianna R.

I'm always here for more Avatar content.

Rik

Sorry to hear that Twitter has been stressing you out Jenny. It can be so toxic. Hope that you're OK. I've been having a rough time myself lately, and watching this today really took my mind off things, so thanks I vote for omegaverse. But that said I always enjoy your videos no matter what the topic.

Sarah Hall

Twitter is notoriously toxic, if it becomes to much sometimes feel free to just quit it for a while and come back to it when you feel comfortable. Nowadays I use Twitter for a select few people and I limit my use to at most ten minutes per day. Twitter really isn’t a toxic environment that you have to deal with if you don’t want to.

Lucas Hauswald

Serendipity the Pink Dinosaur was technically my first anime. Also found through a video rental. Also shocked to learn Pila Pila is a girl. Years later I found a serendipity book in my old stuff. It was “Gabby.” Gabby is cool in her own right. But I’m hearing there’s all these cool, mystical creature books. And we had GABBY. Sillyville was the only Wee Sing tape we owned, so my siblings and I watched it many times. But we did rent other ones. I’m curious about how the ocean one holds up.

Amy Shine

This reminded me of a movie called Dinosaur Island I used to watch at my daycare when I was like 2-3. I just watched the whole thing on youtube and god it was so bad, but I loved it as a little kid. It reeks of early 2000's straight to VHS energy. No spoilers, but there's no island!

Dahlia

I watched Serendipity all the time at my grandma's house when I was little! It was so much fun watching you find it, as I had mostly forgotten it. But all of the lyrics to the theme song are still in my brain, turns out. And it will never not be funny to me that the music is by a band named BULLETS. This whole video was just a delight. I'd go for either of the Halloween/spooky video options, but the Addison Cain one would also be amazing.

Elise

yo this is a really gross comment

Bailey Price

I'd love the Addison Cain video but I'm afraid she'll report it until it gets buried by the algorithm like Lindsay's video. Also, I feel it'd result in a lot of stress that you don't need right know. I vote for spooky reality tv, o"boo"site worlds amirite

Tabea Zeltner

Still dreaming about the potential Dog's Purpose trilogy video (｡•́︿•̀｡) Glad to see the Knott's Berry Farm thing coming along though!

Maria

Just opening twitter causes me stress. Don't know why I'm still on it. But I'd love to see Halloween TV movies ranked or spooky reality, thank you!

JD Sharpe

o+o

i think the last 3 options are all things that ive personally been waiting for and would love to see. since its october it would be such a delight to hear about spooky subjects and i rewatch your reality tv videos a lot. i also love theme park content and you make it very digestible and enjoyable

Dana Welk

I'm always on the team of more theme park content so I vote Knott's or Avatar. I hope you don't stress too much. Your content (Patreon, Twitter, YouTube) makes me so happy and I want it to make you happy too. Keep your head up friend! You're great and other people misinterpreting you says more about them than it does about you.

Brittany Gibson

Okay- I really want to buy the GFuel Sonic shaker cup, so let us know when that flavor DROPS

Jeanette!

Addison Cain or the spooky reality series Please!!!

Alex Wilk

I'm torn between wanting the Omegaverse reading and the Avatar content. I think I actually want the Omegaverse one a bit more, but I know the author's giving Lindsay Ellis very serious legal trouble and very intense, um, bitching about Lindsey's vid on the topic? If you are feeling stressed and anxious due to the online environment right now, I worry the omegaverse video might bring Addison Cain down on you, too and make life harder for you.

Olivia

knotts berry farm!! Don't they put on stuff on for halloween?

Meg Coleman

The bean is definitely something that stuck in my head over the years. Also definitely would like the reality show one.

Jacob Crowe

Addison Cain voice acting please 😂😂

Sarah Lamb

I don't think there's any way I can prove this but my old guy brain thinks that my younger sister had a Serendipity plush. It didn't ring any bells until the anime came up and the pink dragon with front flippers... I'm sure my sister had that plush. I'm going to have to dive into family storage to see if I can find it now.

Patrick Furlong

I had the creepiest serendipity book about a squirrel who had a neighbor that wanted to trade berries for some of the squirrels fur. So she gave him some but then every time the neighbor saw the squirrel he wanted to trade again and she started feeling more and more bad about it. It was really uncomfortable to read as a kid, but I guess it was trying to teach the lesson of the importance of saying no when you don't want to do something and not letting other people take advantage.

Kitty Columb

Oh my god, the Addison Cain omegaverse reading would be such a gift, to the world and me specifically!!

Meret Müller

wow i am losing my mind! nick and noel! memories i didn't even know i had! also as far as videos go: would love to see Halloween tv movie list but would like any spooky content just as well & if possible i would like to see the knotts berry farm video. and as always avatar.

Thalia Castro

Also anything Halloween-related would be cool! But whatever you will find the least stressful to work on; Twitter can be a horrible place, and I'm sorry it is causing you stress and such.

Jennifer Fryer

Halloween tv movie ranking! We need all the spook we can get

purplehayes

oh my god as soon as you mentioned Mickey and the Beanstalk in my head I was like "THE BEAN" and then I laughed out loud when you started talking about the BEAN. I can taste that scene, the memory of what I imagined it tasting like as a child is so vivid, so to the core of my being. The core of my BEAN if you will.

Jennifer Fryer

I would vote for anything Halloweenie or spooky related.... because it's spoopy time. But honestly, I would be ok with any of those choices. :)

Carissa

I mean I've gotten weirdly invested in the Avatar content, but I wouldn't complain about any of it.

Molly Pop (fka tinker__hell)

Good to have a lesson on poverty and compassion, I guess

Emvee

knott's berry farm!! i'm so curious to learn more about mystery lodge

Shay

I love your halloween and spooky related videos, so my vote is for those!

Wayne Mak

oh wow, you just brought back the memory of seeing Girl from Tomorrow! It was on German TV, dubbed of course, but I remember enjoying that show. Memory had almost faded away, but just reading the title brought it right back. Thanks <3

Darth_Credible_Halk

I'm guessing it'll be more along the lines of the Opposite Worlds one (and if anyone hasn't seen the Opposite Worlds one I highly recommend the Opposite Worlds one). Opposite Worlds! (The vid is actually titled <b>The Worst Reality Show of All Time</b> - Jenny's expression in the thumbnail is a very good introduction to what you're letting yourself in for...) <i>edit</i> Oh! And there's also <b>The Worst Ghost Hunting Show of All Time</b> of course; how could I forget. Similar deal, vidwise! (Following my edit I am now ... comfortable ... with this comment.)

Shred Cadmium

I'm from Eureka and will have to agree, very good place to keep a grandparent to take you to quirky souvenir stores.

Christopher E Musgrave

Addison Cain voice acting or Knott's Berry Farm please!

Marian

I remember Serendipity! We had a bunch of those books in my house when my sister and I were kids back in the '80s. I had no idea there was an anime special, though. Anyway, I don't know if this means much, given that this is Patreon where we're all naturally biased toward you, but I hope whatever video you cancelled isn't dead forever. Your videos bring a lot of joy to a lot of people, regardless of what some haters on Twitter might say.

Citizen Calmar

All the video ideas sound great but I think id enjoy the knotts berry farm one the most. Sorry to hear about things you say being twisted or scrutinized on Twitter, I've heard a lot of creators lately talk about how stuff like that has been making them second guess their creative output, I hope it doesnt get in your head too much. we love you jenny!

Kombucha Papi

If the Halloween TV movie rating can be completed in October, then that. If not, Knotts Berry farm

Michael Metzler

marvel!!!! i’ve always wanted to hear your thoughts on what works and what doesn’t, and whether you think endgame succeeded, impact on industry/other franchises etc.

Paige

By "reality vid" do mean another thing like the Great Spider Adventure? Cause if so, THAT. You are so so incredibly charming to watch. Halloween TV movies would be fun too : )

Jay Taylor

Would absolutely love each of this videos but I gotta say the reality show and the addison cain readings are the most intriguing to me personally :)

keri

I think the reality series one appeals the most to me, but they all sound good :)

matt

"I would marry that dolphin." Sounds which make me grateful for this oasis amid a media desert.

Dundough Breadbox

More Addison Cain content!!! Your voice acting in lindsay’s video was so good. But also don’t get sued!!

Victoria Gray

Halloween tv or spooky reality show both sound like amazing October videos!

Oathian

I vote Halloween TV movie ranking! Love spooky content!

Manon Hale

Halloween movie ranking.

E E Edward E

I vote for “spooky reality series”, “TV-movie ranking”, and “Knott's Berry Farm”, please and thank you. I also echo all of the good vibes and compliments others have posted above. Hope the Halloween season lifts your spirits! (sorry, bad pun)

Dee Crosier

Knott's Berry and Halloween both sound exciting to me. I'm so sorry people are being weird to you on twitter. There's something about a nice lady enjoying her life that makes some people go crazy and attack. I know you know this, but the vast majority of the people who know you exist think you're lovely and make our worlds a little brighter. <3

Hannah Boyer

Out of the video concepts the Omegaverse reading is the least interesting to me, but of course I will watch it if you make it. Please don't let Twitter get you down, we patrons have your back! <3

Darth_Credible_Halk

I’d never seen Mickey and the Beanstalk. Now I’m haunted by the image of Mickey Mouse and his friends miserably rationing food as they slowly starve. Did children actually enjoy this movie??

Julia Malonson

HOLY SHIT DARLA THE UNICORN

Katsala

omg my Granny had Nick & Noel on VHS. I never knew there were toys.

R.G. Nairam

Avatar or Knott’s or Marvel!

Justin Guadagno

I looooved the Wee Sing Musical Mansion video. Honestly iconic.

PogieJoe

Halloween TV movie ranking!!

Casey May

The Halloween movie would be awesome but it makes me sad that peoples words are making you feel this way. This channel should make you feel safe and happy and do a video that would be really rewarding for you

Samantha Lee

The end of your ramble really resonated with me. It feels like we are all so close to the edge these days and short on rope. I appreciate you sharing that with us. Someday we'll all be stronger and healthy and more resilient.

Geoff Clarke

the very best part was Jenny thirsting over that dolphin

Will

I liked seeing how excited you got digging up all these nostalgic things! Honestly any of the topics would be great since your videos are always entertaining!

J Mad

Spooky reality TV show or Halloween TV movie, as goes with theme but only you of all youtubers would do, and do well. Save Knott’s Berry Farm for spring. Also don’t let social media comments affect your peace of mind, be considerate of what you would say online would not offend most people in real life, but you can never not offend someone online, and sad to say but we have to live with that now.

LeftOn4ya

My grandfather was a producer on the Canadian segments of Sesame Street with Basil and all them, so it's very nice seeing that I'm not the only one who remembers it.\

Mr. Morrison

I vote for either Knott's Berry Farm or one of the spooky options.

Mr. Morrison

I'm watching the Land Before Times tv series because of you and honestly it holds up. Chomper fucking rules

Nowhere Girl

hope you're okay jenny! ever since seeing people really take what you said about boyega the wrong way ive been kind of worried for you. its scary, being on such a big platform and expected to be flawless...i hope you get some kind of relief soon

Val

I love how many creators are talking about omegaverse fiction lately. Finally I don't feel like I've been the only one cursed with a/b/o content seemingly seeking me—personally—out every few months; trapped in a advertising bracket with a/b/o readers. Besides that, spooky reality tv show and Avatar are very interesting to me.

Lea Chinelo

Marvel, but knowing it will bring out the chuds again, it’s understandable if you’d rather not.

Emvee

Ooh v stoked for the omegaverse and reality show vids

Caden Meyer

I'm very excited for the Omegaverse reading, but all of those WIP sound really good, so whatever comes next, I'm here for it.

Semilocon

Knott’s Berry and anything Halloween/spooky!!

Sydney A Louie

I enjoy and have watched all of your videos multiple times, so I like all of these topics, but having another Halloween vid to put in my Youtube spooky playlist every October would be especially awesome.

Kat Green

I TOO ONLY REMEMBER CUTTING THE BEAN, I don't remember anything else from that short. Wonderful.

Kat Green

Your identification of fairy tale soundstage aesthetic is so on point that I'm wondering if you've seen Jim Henson's Storyteller (which might be my favorite iteration of soundstage fantasy in the universe).

Kat Green

Spooky reality show!

Annie

Your performance in Lindsay's Omegaverse video was the highlight. I'd be very curious about that reading. My second choice would probably be the spooky reality show. Honestly both are in season right now in their own way.

Richard Morrall

I grew up with Wee Sing and had both the Sillyville and Grandpa's Magical Toys ones you mentioned. But I also had Big Rock Candy Mountain which apparently was a favorite of mine as a toddler. This brought up a bunch of memories. But, when you talked about the Sesame Street one I remembered something from my nightmares as a kid. I had a reoccurring nightmare with Big Bird and Snuffaluffagus in Egypt helping me die and weighting my heart against a feather. It was very traumatizing and I finally found out today that that nightmare comes from a Sesame Street special VHS with that exact plot. Apparently it's called "Don't Eat the Pictures: Sesame Street at the Metropolitan Museum of Art" and one section is some Egyptian prince in this museum who is cursed to live forever or something.

Timon Pike

Come through Wee Sing!

Pamela A Williams

Twitter is cancer, second only to YouTube comments. They are not reality, don't feed the trolls.

David Whitney

The Omegaverse reading sounds like an amazing idea. I also want to hear more about the lawsuit drama.

Ben Detrixhe

Screw those jerks on Twitter. Hang in there, Jenny.

Papa Q. Bear

Knotts Berry Farm, spooky reality series, or avatar!!!

Emma Paolini

Oh my god I recognize the Serendipity anime dragon. Only the intro seemed familiar but I think I saw an ad for it played before some other anime. The only obscure children's TV I truly remember are Christmas specials. The Pokey Little Puppy one has a lot of earworms that my siblings and I sing to each other regardless of season. I'm sorry you're dealing with Twitter harassment. :( I wish there were a way to actually stop shit like that. People are the worst. I love all of those ideas, but I think the Halloween ones are a particularly good fit for spooky month!

Coral Peterson

I watched Wee Sing in Sillyville a bunch as a kid and everyone I mentioned it to later thought I was crazy until I mentioned it to my best friend in college and she had also watched it!

Margaret Moore

Also not sure if Divergent content is still in the works (its all good if its not) but I actually unironically like the first one (SUE ME I KNOW I AM CANCELLED BUT I HAVE REASONS I FEEL ARE SUBSTANTIAL) but yeah would love to hear your thoughts and wisdom

Cameron Taylor

Jenny you are a LEGEND and I really am sorry about the harassment. You obviously work crazy hard and are an amazing and hilarious online presence and nobody, especially you, deserves that kind of negativity. It’s an HONOR to support you on patreon every month but you know what I’m here to support emotionally this month too!!!! And you already knowwww I am always down for that sweet sweet avatar content

Cameron Taylor

Gotta go with reality series, but Avatar is a very close second.

AK Barratt

I totally had a Wee Sing in Sillyville on tape as a kid but could never remember the name of it as an adult. You are legit the only other person I've heard mention ever.

Andrew Henderson

I've been hype for knotts berry farm for months now but you CANNOT dangle avatar content in front of me without me demanding to see it lol. Please?

Tomboy

Knott's berry farm!

Yan Yan

Halloween&Avatar 🕸🧞‍♂️

Olivia Louise

oo more reality tv content, please!

John Hacbang

I think the random Marvel or Omegaverse reading would be fun. I only just heard about the Omegaverse (guess where) and this woman, and I am FASCINATED by the whole thing.

Jen Canary

i'm really into reality tv or reading--it's been a long time since we've had either of those

Wakelyn

Reality series vid or Marvel video.

Michele Coleman

Halloween TV movie ranking has my vote!

Terence Digan

Really want the mystery lodge video for halloween 😏

Pret M

More Avatar content please.

Neil B

Halloween tv! For the spookiness factor :)

Freyja Jorgensen

When my family went, my dad described Knott's as a "twice in a lifetime experience". Your parents take you once when you're a kid, and then you take your kids there once.

Rebekah Valderrama

I watched grandpas magical toy chest until I was 12.

Ashton Cate

I would love LOVE to see a Halloween TV movie video! The halloween specials on tv were always my favs growing up, and I know youll pick some movies Ive never heard of before! I dont liek watching horror movies for halloween, just the spooky ones, so Id love a list that I can refer to when I marathon a bunch later this month. I hope you talk about Spooky Godmother, too many people sleep on this movie!

Nadia Cox

Monica, could that be Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theater ? If so, there are a bunch of episodes on YT.

Dark_Roast

I'm 40 so I may be too old for this thread, but does anyone remember this shit? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLCg1kb1sA0

Skibbityboo

My grandma had a serendipity book! I had no idea it was a whole franchise. I feel like I saw the anime too but don't know, it could just be wishful thinking. I'm so sorry about the recent influx of harassment you've been receiving, people really are just looking for ways to misplace their anger, east targets etc. As for videos, I'm into knott's berry farm!

Tam Elle

halloween tv movie would be so fun and spooky for the month, love u!!

Marissa Nava

Sorry to hear everyone on Twitter is being a dick to you. Sending good vibes and love <3

Moose

would love spooky reality show, addison cain reading, or marvel! but i know i'll love whatever you end up making :)

Carolyn Wang

You have no idea how happy you made me with mentioning Wee Sing for Sillyville and the Serendipity video! Nobody I know remembers Serendipity but I remember that pink dragon/dinosaur so vividly ^_^ The second I heard that song I almost started to cry, I need to go look it up on my own now. As far as the next video goes I would love to see Knott’s Berry Farm stuff or Spooky Reality TV series :)

Mia Diiorio

So as someone who grew up in Southern California, I'm gonna have to toss my hat in the ring for the Knott's Berry Farm video! I've only ever been there once when I was maybe 5 or 6 years old, so I have only the most vague memories of the place. Coming from a family of theme park enthusiasts myself you'd think that we would have gone there more, but our normal destination was (and still is) almost always Disneyland for our family vacations. I don't know a ton about Knott's aside from a few facts like that it's decades older than Disneyland, so hearing you talk at length about your experiences there, or the history of it, and the attractions and all that would be really incredible I think! 🙂

Jason Reichtell

The Marvel video, Knott's Berry Farm, or Avatar video all sound really cool!

Tyler Vogel

im down for all of these! but knotts and avatar peak my interest the most i think :)

Erin Sullivan

People were performing Dark Internet Rituals in the comments and it was getting dangerous.

superb lobster

Oh man, my childhood weird media no one remembers are: a low-budget live action retelling of fairy tales on PBS, only a little sassy? This was in the 80s or early 90s. Another one was, PBS used to do bumpers between shows where they played short videos that were student films from the local colleges. And there was one called "Everything You Need to Know about Opera", that had that style of animation that's cut-out stop-motion animation figures, and it just ran through the plot of a couple well-known operas, like Siegfried, to show how crazy they were. I remember it had a death counter in the upper corner. By happenstance I recorded it on video tape and I rewatched it a LOT, but later lost track of which tape it was on and never saw it again.

Monica McFadden

Why were the comments on Dark Internet Rituals turned off?

Callum Moore

spooky show

Bradley D Williams

I'm ready for this video to slap my nostalgia vulnerable ass in the face

xenanimate

Says the one who got a couple of awesome buds to drive her across state lines during a pandemic to pick up a giant spider :)

Dash

Twitter is a dumpster fire, where context and nuance do not exist. I'm sorry you've been dealing with the worst of it for the last few months, I can imagine the stress and negative impact it has had on your mental health :( I try to limit my time on social media for that reason. You're one of my favorite content creators, and I get excited every time you post a new video, but if you need to take time for your own health, please do! I think I speak for all of us when I say we are happy to wait. For the upcoming videos, I would love to see an Omegaverse reading!

Amanda Ruge

I'm for the spoopy reality show!!

Nicholas Bloom

Hey Jenny. Your my favorite youtuber! marvel video all the way.

Tim Ellis

More theme park content PLEASE!!!!

Woody Sims

I feel so hashtag seen by this content on Wee Sing and Serendipity. Also Jenny you are the only person worth following on Twitter, it blows that it's treating you so poorly in return.

Aris Behren

Always love your book readings, but I’d definitely be down for spookier content in the spirit of Halloween! Also the knott’s berry farm video has long intrigued me

Allessandra

I was looking forward to the really long book reading and i don't know if that the omegaverse thing or not. if that's the video you axed then i understand. One of my favorite videos ever is your HalloSCREAM BOOvies list so maybe another would be cool. also knottsberry sounds good. DO whatever you're most interested in though, also screw twitter and i hope you feel better soon.

Creamer

I had the we sing cassette tapes and I had no idea it was also a show! It makes sense to me now because I always thought it was strange that it was set up like a tv show but i only had audio. I remember that i listened to those things constantly. My mom would just sit me down on the floor with a stereo, headphones and the cassette case when i was a kid and i would just listen to the whole collection all the way through.

Kieren Peck

Aw jenny, im sorry you're having a rough time right now :( it's been a rough year for everyone so I think (or would hope) people would be understanding, hypercritical twitter trolls excluded--you're not the only youtuber whoes had to slow down their content stream in light of recent apocalyptic circumstances lmao. But your patrons got your back, so I hope that eases your stress somewhat! As for the next video--your themepark videos are my favorite, so I'd vote Knottsberry, but I think all of those topics sound like they'd make interesting videos!

Rice G.

my top picks from that list would definitely be knott's berry farm and the reality series!! but they all sound great tbh. i'm sorry about people on twitter, i always look forward to your tweets popping up and had no idea bad stuff was going on, but anyway it certainly can't hurt to take a little break from social media!

Flora

It makes me so happy to see the improved camera settings! I couldn't have pinpointed exactly what was off about it before but it looks better now

Julia

They all sound good but spooky reality tv show is my top pick! Followed by Knotts Berry Farm. But honestly considering the rough months you've been having I would just like you to make whatever video you would feel most happy working on - i hope that things get a little better for you soon xx

Valentina

Definitely have felt anxiety over things tweeted in good faith being disparaged. The fact that you genuinely care is a testament to your character. That said, try not to let it get you down! Maybe consider bringing someone on to help manage comments like Lindsay did? Whatever you feel works best for your mental health. All of these topics sound great; I'd be most excited for Halloween movies. We need as much spooky content as we can get to make up for the lack of traditional festivities this year.

Brian Koch

the halloween movie or the spooky reality show of course. Tis the season

blitzball

I hope you don’t let Twitter get you down too much, it’s a notoriously toxic platform that’s built to thrive on its own controversy, and you wouldn’t be the first person to feel burned out from it. I and a lot of other people love your content and want you to keep it going strong. Despite everything you’re brightening up many peoples days. Please take good care of yourself and your mental health.

Ian L

Spooky reality show, spooky reality show, spooky reality show!

Jewel Jackson

wee sing in sillyville was a childhood staple of mine. and i was today years old to learn that there were others!!

"Abbott & Costello Meet The Wolf Man"

Steve Ray

All the Wee Sing videos feel like fever dreams until you look them up. We used to rent Big Rock Candy Mountain from Blockbuster to watch with our babysitter. We probably tortured that poor girl.

Courtney Zanetti

A spooky reality show? Color me intrigued.

Martin

Halloween movie ranking is #1, book readings and reality tv would be great too.

Talrand

Marvel and Avatar!

Emilie Rainbow

Another reality series vid but this one is spooky sounds fun and seasonal

Vinícius de Moraes

I remember that one! I loved it when I was little.

J. Francis

Thank you for taking the time to correct my misconceptions about deconstruction, particularly the fine distinctions between detecting subconscious evil in a given work (even if unstated) vs. detecting systemic evil in a given work (even if unstated). I still think that because deconstruction begins with a *presumption* of evil -- the only challenge is in identifying *how* a given evil is reflected in the text -- it has created a discourse style where accusation is heroic, intention is irrelevant, and causation is inferred -- leading to people who mistakenly think saying mean things always equals speaking truth to power.

Steve Ray

Halloween stuff is the best for the season! Also I totally understand the stress about twitter. I’d recommend unplugging from that crowd but idk how much it’s necessary for your career.

Magicalbunbun

would LOVE halloween tv movies, knots berry farm, and the spooky reality series. however if u wanna keep holding on to knots berry farm until its fully open, thats totally fair too. you should get the ultimate effect for your hard work.

Rowan Kala

Hey Jenny, so sorry to hear about the nonsense you're dealing with on Twitter; it seems like it's really taken a toll on you. It can be such a toxic environment, and I hope things have gotten or will get better for you. It's hard to think Twitter is even worth it anymore, but that's easy for me to say from my position, since social media is probably a necessity for you as part of how you make your living. Wishing you all the best, and I know I speak for everyone in saying that we support you and want you to be happy and healthy most of all. As for upcoming videos, I vote for Halloween tv movies, Knots Berry farm, and the spooky reality series! Take care :)

Brandon Beasley

Those all sound awesome. Sorry I know that’s not remotely helpful. Love me some good spooky Halloween content

Simi Parquette

Your readings are always fun! an Omegaverse reading would be awesome!

Sam Bacon

I second this. Jenny’s Halloween spirit is part of what gets me into Halloween mode!

Max Throm

It's not so much that works of art evil and have evil intentions, it's that works of art are produced in the context of historical evils. and those evils are reflected in them.

Jerry Nicholson

“Who has friends these days?” Pain.

Daniel Stephan

Well for one thing, deconstruction explicitly de-emphasizes looking for the meaning of a work in the intentions of its author. It's one of the main features. So in that regard, it's not fair to view the application of deconstruction to a work as being in any way malicious towards its author. As for being malicious or unfair to the work itself, I think this quote from Anita Sarkessian sums it up: "It's both possible, and even necessary, to simultaneously enjoy media while also being critical of its more problematic or pernicious aspects."

Jerry Nicholson

Looking forward to that Knott's Berry Farm video, whenever it may come. Also basil hears a noise is one heck of a bop!

J jamerson

Is it? I've never seen a deconstruction that spoke well of the subject matter, and I've never seen any pushback against a deconstruction for being malicious or unfair. It might be more fair to say that students were praised for inferring the intentions or implications of historical texts, but if they are taught to view everything through a lens of oppression and power imbalances, won't that necessarily result in negative interpretations?

Steve Ray

I'd love an avatar vid mainly because its so bizarre how immensely successful yet unmemorable it is, knotts berry farm sounds fun as well! Twitter sucks and rude people are loud, I hope you're alright!

Liz

Just try to be the best person you can, if somebody is giving you a hard time for using the incorrect term, that is on them. It is all about intent, and I doubt your intent is to hurt anyone. With that out of the way, Avatar content would of course be my choice, even though my name isn't inspired by the James Cameron movie.

Avatar

Which is a bit ironic as my job revolves around responding to customers on social media. Yeah, my job sucks.

Nathan Thomas

I'd love to see anything Halloween related...Knotts content is always fun because I feel it's always overlooked (I really hope the axed vid isn't the Mystery Lodge one). Non-topical Marvel stuff is great, but maybe after Halloween since timing doesn't matter.

Buddy Crotty

I didn't want to be the first to mention Mr. Donut Man, but Word up!

Steve Ray

I'm firmly of the belief that social media is a cancer upon society. It does not promote unity, but rather encourages bullying from multiple directions so that someone with an independent idea has no leg to stand on. If I had any kind of online presence I would just use it to announce upcoming events and the occasional dumb dad joke.

Nathan Thomas

30,000 layoffs.

Steve Ray

Don't Twitter. Twitter bad.

Michael Wilson

Would love Halloween or Spooky reality Tv

Alex Tucker

The omegaverse reading is my vote

Fletcher Gross

Also other people definitely remember it but I used to have nightmares about the donut puppet from those Christian children's videos

Casper Hope-Tindall

I experience this with a lot of low rent religious children's media? Like I'm not religious and my family isn't super religious but my mother would take us to church with her and while we were children they had a little like, library room? It had books and a huge collection of weird religious children's VHS tapes, so I'm like "huh I remember this story about this dog what was that?" And then I realize it's some weird Christian children's book that no one has heard of

Casper Hope-Tindall

Halloween TV movie ranking sounds interesting! Big fan of your previous Halloween list. Also down for more Avatar content lol!

Tony M Parker

If you have a Marvel video that is already noted, I'd /assume/ that that'd be the easiest video for you to make next. You seem very stressed, so I hope that you make the easiest video on the list. I'm very sorry about people on twitter. :-(

Tori

My favorite idea is spooky reality tv!

Avia Lewis

Literally all of them, but it's been a while since we've heard you talk about a reality series :) I'm so sorry for the anxiety that you've been through over these months. Of course, if it means anything, we all support you and respect you in full context. I hope things improve for you and you are fairing well with your support network.

Katie Gogerty

What happened to the Galaxy’s Edge video?:(

Emmie Desrosiers

I would love a knotts berry farm video! (theme park videos are always wanted) Avatar content is also super fun

Emmie Desrosiers

You should make the videos you want to make for Patreon instead of Youtube.

Ford Prefect

Just watched the whole thing and thought I’d say I feel like the rambles are worth my patronage alone and I, and I’m sure many of us, would be patrons regardless of how long main channel videos take!

Bruce Leckenby

Addison Cain reading. Absolutely

Kyle Jones

Also when you first mentioned Mickey slicing the bean I immediately went OMG I REMEMBER THAT...

Kim P.

The weird obscure thing I remember as a kid was something called The Peanut Butter Conspiracy - and trying to describe this movie to people makes you sound like you're recounting a fever dream. That and these animated segments about science from the learning channel/PBS called EUREKA!

Evon Freeman

Spooky reality tv show + Halloween tv movie rankings get my vote!

Kim P.

also i haven't watched this video yet but my childhood media no one else has heard of is the movie "the argon quest" (was originally a canadian children's show that they spliced into a full length movie). it has muppets!

humority

the spooky reality show is my #1 most interested followed by the tv movie ranking!

humority

Super-interested in the spooky reality show, also Knott's Berry Farm. Ranking Halloween TV movies sounds like fun, too.

Steven Clark

im so excited about the reality one that sounds great. also avatar content always :)

Torie Berke

Look on her YouTube page.

Steve Ray

Id really like to see whatever Knotts video you have planned! I love all your theme park content.

Not Me

The reality tv ones are usually super good, omegaverse and halloween rankings sound good too.

Austin Murter

Anything spooky Halloween themed and theme park related interest this viewer most

J

I’d say I would like to see either the marvel one, knotts berry farm, or spooky series. Whatever would result in an hour plus video.

Laura Martin

also the google search terms were wild... "lion goes into creepy castle and does math and the dragon is actually nice" "explore dungeon fight trolls with multiplication problems on their stomachs" "bunny hedgehog raccoon crow camping make pies" "orangutan drummer colored patterned circles"

Avia Lewis

I experience this but with childhood computer games! One day I googled them all, found out their names, and made a YouTube playlist. Reader Rabbit castle and camp games, Midtown Madness, Jumpstart Kindergarten, Math Blaster, Reading Blaster, Jumpstart Artist, Magic School Bus human body & dinosaur games, Crayola 3D Castle Creator, Thinkin' Things, Timez Attack, Star Wars Podracer. Playing computer games on my dad's gonzo work computer with a joystick... those were some days huh

Avia Lewis

I'm among those who will watch any video you make, but I understand that's not exactly helpful: the ones I'm personally most interested in are > Hallowe'en TV Ranking > Spooky Reality TV [I was personally never into reality TV, but I love hearing about it] > Omegaverse Reading [though how much of it you'll be able to get away with reading may leave you with 10 seconds of content, if how much of Kat's voiceover had to be bleeped in Lindsay's video is any indication lmao]

The Doom Merchant

would be super happy with any of these, all great ideas! Also, sorry that you have been having a rough time on twitter :( your content is great and people sometimes forget that creators are people too and I'm sorry about that. It must be a lot to deal with sometimes. But anyways, I'm excited to see your new content, an omegaverse reading/knotts berry farm vid would be super cool, ive been to the Mystery Lodge and i would love to hear more about it.

Claire Villanueva

Steve, this is itself a bad-faith-uncharitable interpretation of the process of deconstruction.

Jerry Nicholson

Please do not feed the Twitter trolls. I cannot imagine anyone being legitimately offended by anything on your channel. You go above and beyond to be respectful while still being entertaining and sassy.

Dan B

Wee Sing in Sillyville was the best!! My sister and I reference it all the time, especially the "red" family for some reason. "Another reality series vid but this one is spooky" is my pick! I love that video about, i can't even remember the name of the show. The Future vs Past show with the minotaur lol.

Cat Brooks

I think bad-faith-uncharitable interpretations were normalized in academia as "deconstruction," where students were praised for hallucinating invisible evil intentions in the writings of historical authors, so everyone got to feel heroic* for lynching the dead. ---- * Like they personally denounced geocentrism and thus rescued Galileo or whomever.

Steve Ray

I'd really like to see some Knott's content just because 1) they have good fall aesthetic and 2) to mix up the theme park content a bit

Katie Linfield

In the 90s I used to watch The Children's Channel. None of my childhood friends or anyone I know have ever heard of it. There were many obscure British, US, Canadian and Australian shows like Girl from Tomorrow, Ready or Not and Swans Crossing. These can be found on Youtube and streaming services today. There was also Molly, a miniseries about a girl who travels through Europe, which has been lost to time. Someone uploaded episode 3 to Youtube but it's dubbed in German and not available for purchase anywhere. There was an American show that I can't find anymore about some teens at a boarding school for basketball players. I also remember cartoons like Dogtanian and Button Moon, which I didn't care for, but the opening songs were earworms. Anyway, please don't do a video about omegaverse. All the other topics sound great! :D

This video got my nostalgia gears spinning. Does anyone remember Ziggy's Gift? It's a Ziggy Christmas Special where Ziggy tries to be a Santa and goes on a Christmas adventure. I don't know how obscure it is, but it hasn't seemed to really find a foothold as a Christmas classic. I just thought about it for the first time since I watched it as a child. It's also on Youtube, so I'm happy about that. Anyway, I would love to see another spooky reality tv series review. The Addison Cain reading would also be fun. And I'm waiting for your channel to just be dedicated to Avatar content. If I don't stop myself I'm just gonna say that I want to see everything you've listed.

Bryan Sutton

Knotts content! Avatar content!

Michael Vandie

like 25 seconds in to the video, my girlfriend and i to each other as soon as you mentioned your incoming Sonic minifridge: "Jenny KNOWS what her contract rider NEEDS, what she DESERVES"

The Doom Merchant

The results of your white-balancing look great. The next step is to find out if there's a polarizing filter that will attach to the lens of whatever camera you're using to get rid of the light reflecting off your glasses. Or you could just start wearing contact lenses again, but that would make my profile pic a lot less funny so obviously I'm against that.

Jerry Nicholson

I’d vote for either the omegaverse reading or the spooky reality show, but any of it sounds great! And I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with the twitter verse being so toxic, people like to be reactive dicks sometimes online for attention or whatever and it sucks

S. Violet

There's this phenomenon on Twitter where intentionally misinterpreting someone uncharitably is rewarded with retweets and likes. And because you've been seeing an uptick in popularity, that makes you a target for that kind of bad-faith attack. I hope that paid supporters can save you from becoming another YouTube algorithm casualty (i.e. only making content that the algorithm rewards you for making). Trust that your paid supporters are here for whatever obscure stuff you want to cover, because it's your brand of wit and criticism that we enjoy.

Hodgkin LeBlanc

obviously halloween ideas are timely since it's october.. but then if you don't think you'd have them finished in time, or would stress trying to, then i guess i'd vote for knott's content.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Jaden

I feel like I'm the only one who'd like to see the Marvel one...

Michael Young

Water Babies was my lost childhood movie. I finally found it last year and it is a lot weirder than I remember. Sorry to hear Twitter has been stupid again.

Wesley Quinonez

i love hearing you talk about anything at all! but i love thematic vids so spooky reality tv sounds wonderful!

Renee

I know basically all the songs from the first video even though I’ve never seen the show!

Kathleen

Addison Cain reading or spooky reality series immediately grabbed me, but all sound good!

Jack Moore

I love all these video ideas. You're doing a great job Jenny. :)

Bitsmack

the movie ranking or the knotts berry farm!!

Katherine Barbera

omegaverse pls

Brittany Long

Do whatever grabs you the most as I love anything and everything you produce, but for October (if it'll be ready before halloween) I'd say the Halloween TV movie ranking sounds best out of that list to me! Thanks again for all you do, Jenny!

Rachel

I love the idea of any theme park content right now since we can't go anywhere (Avatar land, Knott's Berry Farms, etc.), and those are the videos I personally enjoy most since you're so passionate and knowledgeable about those subjects! That being said, you love Halloween and have a Halloween themed video every year, so that would also be a great choice! Honestly I'm just excited to see whatever you put out!!

Gabriella Virginia

I vote spooky reality tv thing

Shiny Skunk

I think I would be honestly fine with any of these. But, given we are in spooky season, I think the reality tv one would be good. Either way, just do whatever you're comfortable with. Take your time. We can wait. :)

Mel Curtis

The "Another reality series vid but this one is spooky" sounds most interesting out of them all.

Jack Meyers

And a Wee Sing shout-out to Lloyd George! https://youtu.be/KveaNkBPsS8

Steve Ray

Would love to see Halloween videos, especially the reality show one :) 🕷🕸🦇🎃

Veronica Douglas

MICKEY AND THE BEANSTALK. When I was a kid, we would visit my great grandma every other week, and my brother and I would bring VHS movies to watch with her. Fun and Fancy Free was a frequent flyer. I will never forget the slicing of the bread.

Caitlin O'Malley

The Omegaverse and Knott's Berry Farm go together like summer and daisies -- let them be inseparable!

Steve Ray

I’d love to see omegaverse or knotts berry!!

Megan Dixon

I never saw Basil Hears a Noise but I vividly remember Basil himself! His whole schtick was he would share segments with Louis - Louis only speaks French and Basil is trying to learn it. Very relatable. Also, according to Japanese wikipedia, Serendipity was supposed to get a theatrical film! But that got cancelled (can't find why) and they made a 26 episode tv series that aired in 1983. The English dubbed movie you had seems to be the only bit that got released in English at all. Mystery 80s anime are such a mood

Natalie Arnold

Omegaverse reading, Marvel or Avatar!

Magda Lena

Theme parks are always very good, but spooky reality tv is also tempting. Also I absolutely remember that tiny, tiny bean from Mickey and the Beanstalk! That scene hit me with a weird wave of nostalgia for being from a movie that I was never a huge fan of as a child.

Kailey Kairo

Ooo - is the spooky TV show the one with the thing? The thingy one set in a wotsit? A school, was it? No, that's not right - a university? Penn State! That was it!! Paranormal State!?! *<i>ahem</i>* Er, 'cos if that <i>is</i> right then that sounded bonkers. 👻🏫🎃 And even if it isn't, as usual all the possibilities sound great - although if we're avoiding drama for the moment (re which: strongly In Favour Of) then maybe the reading could wait a little while. So I guess I'd rank them all joint-first apart from the first which is sixth. Er? Yes. Yes I think that's right 👍

Shred Cadmium

reality series is definitely my top choice of those but I'll be happy with whatever you made. Also halloween content is always great

Matt E.

In the US, we pronounce the herb basil differently than the name Basil. The name, we pronounce like the Brits pronounce the herb. Kinda like how we pronounce the word herb and the name Herb differently. What is it about herb-derived names? To actually answer the question, I vote for either of the spooky/Halloween vids!

Peter N.

Addison Cain’s omegaverse reading or Halloween tv movie ranking!! sorry twitter is treating you badly. lately everyone seems to be loving the art of dumping your shit and irritability on public figures, not something you deserve.

Zach Langley Chi Chi

I was obsessed with the Serendipity movie as a child! Would love to see any of the spooky/Halloween videos :) tis the season after all

Becca

i'm from southern california so a knott's berry farm vid would be nice and nostalgic for me. i'm also interested in spooky reality. imo the twitter folks consider you a worthy target because you're privileged but also within reach of their bullying so they get the rush of feeling self-righteous and morally superior when they tear you down, as if they're making a positive difference in the world... it's deeply pathetic.

nomchonks

All of these sound really fun, and I’d happily watch any of them! But my top picks are probably Knotts, reality show, and omegaverse. And big ups for the Wee Sing shoutout. 😂 the soundtrack to all of my childhood road trips

Erica Comitalo

You've been talking about the Knott's Berry Farm video for a long while so that one has me intrigued, but if the timing on that still isn't right then my choice would be the spooky reality show.

J. Francis

Love this and all the videos look exciting! I think that the movie I remember the most is the Burbank animation version of Anastasia which is even weirder because my sister tried to convince me that the fox Anastasia was our childhood Anastasia, and I only want to acknowledge the classic that is Burbank Anastasia!

Kolbrún Matthíasdóttir

Reality tv, avatar, or Halloween TV movie content all sound fun!

Kathleen

lol now I'm going to have Basil Hears a Noise stuck in my head all day at work :D Now that it's October I'd love to see anything Halloween related but I know whichever video does come out it's going to be lit as usual

Luis

they all sound cool, but i’m leaning towards knotts berry farm! i love hearing you talk about theme parks and my only knowledge of knotts is that one shaq tweet so i’d love to learn more abt the actual park lol

blake j robbins

Is your Halloween playlist publically available?

Jeff Blackman

Did you ever watch Eureka's Castle? That's a Nick Jr show with puppets that I loved as a kid and apparently no one ever heard of it. Lol

Milliebot

Omegaverse for sure would be so interesting. All of them seem great though. There are a lot of people that you just can't please no matter what. Stay strong <3

Lizzy Martinez

I also vote for Knott's Berry Farm

Benjamin A.

Knott's Berry Farm! I love hearing you talk about theme parks, especially ones I've never been to. Also Halloween TV

Lenny

I'm down for the spooky reality show! Great timing for it :) And thanks, you've prompted me to look up my most obscure 90's kids film, The Seventh Brother. It's about a puppy that gets accepted into a family of rabbits and saves them from increasingly horrifying situations. I remember vividly that some lady just rang the doorbell and gave it to my parents for free.... Not a very promising beginning, but it was a direct-to-video release so I guess some mystery was to be expected.

Katelyn Reiser

This inspired me to look up an animated movie I vaguely remember owning in my childhood and found out that it was a 24 min short called Faeries from 1981. I was born in 1993 so I'm not even sure where that came from, but the whole thing is on Youtube and brought up much nostalgia.

Carla Viz

unsure if you mean avatar the animated show or the movie because there’s precedent for both but if it’s the last air bender please please!

Nick Libasci

Reality TV series for sure!

Laura Elizabeth

Addison Cain, Halloween TV movie rankings, and spooky reality TV!

Brett Bottomborn

Spooky reality show for sure.

Tsushi

I'd love to hear the Knott's Berry Farm video, it's always great when you do theme park stuff :)

Brianna Surratt

I'm interested in any of these, but you had me really interested in Knott's Berry Farm a while back when you first mentioned. I look forward to it, whenever it may come. I also would definitely enjoy that spooky reality tv show for spooky season <3 I guess my least favorite would be Avatar but I can imagine you'd make it really interesting for me anyways!

Catherine Chicoine

Is Star Wars land off the table? I was so looking forward to the continuation of that saga!

Kelly Tignor

halloween tv movie ranking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Georgia Carter

Let me second the request for Avatar content!

Hokius

At this point, as far as I'm concerned, you ARE Addison Cain. #ThanksLindsay

Dan Cole

The lighting looks great! Content-wise, I'm most looking forward to hearing about Knott's Berry Farm, which I visited in the late '80s but barely remember.

Georgina Storey

Really hard to narrow down the choices. The only one I'm not super keen on is the Omegaverse reading but I imagine it'd get beaucoup views so it's probably still a good idea. I think *I'd* be most interested in the Knott's Berry one (not the Knotting Berries one). But it'd probably get the least amount of views of those options. Damn, I'm some kind of edgy shadow the hedgehog boi.

Joe Bloe

Avatar content. Always

Ejk

Oh my god thank you for reminding me about We Sing for Sillyville! That's one I think about all the time but all I could vaguely remember was the Rainbow Girl like almost dying at the end (?) or losing her color or something and they have to save her, but I didn't know how to fit that into a google search that would yield results.

Reed

I vote spooky reality series. Sorry with what you've been dealing with on Twitter

Erwin King

Sending positivity. ⭐💖 I love the idea of a Marvel-related video that's timed completely wrong, even though I don't care much for the Marvel movies, that sounds like it could be really funny. Second choice is definitely the spooky reality show. 😍 And Avatar content is always a YES PLEASE.

Vanessa Júpiter

Also fuck twitter you should get off there and interact on here more you know with the people sending you money lol 😬

Josh Marjonen

I am leaning towards spooky reality tv show

Xion

If you did an entire commentary track on that Serendipity show you found or a movie or something that would be fun too and you could even pay someone else to edit it

Josh Marjonen

Content wise, I'd love another realirt show video but seriously make whatever brings you joy and we'll love it ^_^

Hazel Jeffs

Oh my gosh, I grew up with an audiotape called "wesing silly songs" but I had no idea it was an actual brand! Come to think of it, the songs did all seem American... (though the singer's were British)

Hazel Jeffs

Spooky content for October, yessss

Vespadesu

All of these sound great but the Halloween TV movie ranking sounds like the most fun, although the Marvel one intrigues me.

Eliza Potter

Marvel/Reality/Avatar (lol) would all be cool. Try not to stress too much! Twitter is a haven for bad vibes.

Galewolf

I’m down with anything that can be described as spooky, so either the Halloween TV movies or the spooky reality show would be my picks! ALSO, I grew up on Sillyville and Nick and Noel. I had the Noel plush as well, and my brother had Nick. And when you were describing the Serendipity books, I suddenly remembered this picture book I had as a kid about a flying horse named Flutterby. I looked it up and, sure enough, it was a Serendipity book!

Chelsea Clark

I'd watch any of those ideas but being October and loving Halloween I've gotta throw a vote for Halloween related content, especially if It potentially adds to my own growing list of Halloween viewing content

Matt Reynolds

I remember a show about a time-traveling jersey

Johnny

I live for the spoopy content. But I am also waiting with baited breath for the Knott's Berry Farms video

Erich

any and all of those read as interesting topics to hear the jenny take on, but especially the kbf and avatar concepts, since there seems to be a real passion for theme parks and, well, avatar! (also i know this is obnoxious/everyone hates this type of commenter but i had a lil :o moment when jenny said my name as part of the christmas special title. i didn’t have keychains or anything so please let me be thank you)

noelle

Really fun and relatable to watch the joy of rediscovering semi-remembered obscurities from your childhood :) As far as the video concepts, you’d mentioned that you wanted to get the timing right for the Knott’s Berry Farm one until people can go and check it out for themselves so I figure that one can marinate for a bit. Same with Marvel and Avatar. I loved Lindsay Ellis’ Omegaverse video and would be very interested on your perspective on the topic and/or experience with the making of the video though I wonder if it would be too far off brand for this channel given the content? Though I personally don’t have an issue with you doing whatever you want on your channel, you do you :) Not to mention that it’s a righteous cause to fight the good fight against bad faith lawsuit bullies—though that’s its own can of worms and while I’m sure you’d have plenty of support should she decide to target you I wouldn’t want you to have to deal with anything you don’t want to. The obvious choices for timeliness are the Halloween TV movie ranking and the spooky reality series, both of which I’d very much enjoy watching but I lean towards the spooky reality series if I have to make a choice between the two.

Dash

“I didn’t found out until I was an adult that Basil was...” Oh no, murderer? Pervert? “Canadian.” My god.

Dean

The reality series! I'm also curious about the Marvel take as a piece of lost Jenny media.

Michelle Irene Hanson

Started listing them before realising I was just listing them all. Definitely the spooky stuff although I love the theme park vids as I’ve never been to one.

Bruce Leckenby

I would be fully happy with any of those options, which isn't at all helpful... I guess whichever one will stress you out the least? No reason to go super hard into something when the world's on fire.

Austin Rearick

Knott's Berry Farm, the Spooky Reality Show or the Halloween TV movies ranking. Your theme park and Halloween content is lit

Rebecca Lehming

I would love the Knotts Berry farm video, and really curious if the Marvel video is Thor related, since I feel like I remember you saying something about that a long time ago. Also is the Galaxy of Fear video off the table again? I’ve been wanting for that one since you made that one t-shirt last year!

Eric MacMillan

Honestly I'd love more Avatar content!

Claire Flanagin

Halloween tv movies whooo

Josh Marjonen

Spooky stuff! Reality show or Halloween TV movie ranking would be top of my list right now

Mady, you know, from TV

I like all the topics, but especially the Omegaverse reading and the spooky reality show, personally.

Jubei

I always love a good reality tv rundown

ooooooooooooooooooooo

Tough call between Halloween TV movies and spooky reality series!

Lindsay Nelson

I always love theme park content but oh my gosh, I'm so mad about the Addison Cain/Lindsay Ellis stuff that I would be so delighted to see a Jenny Reading™ of her stuff for Cain to write a haughty blog post about several months later without mentioning you by name but asserting that it just makes her more powerful. The alpha, if you will

Amy White

The Opposite Worlds video is a classic so another reality series vid would be cool! Also more theme park content is always good.
