As Told By Ginger - Episode 47: Butterflies Are Free (Part 4)

[CBarker1995]

how much DMT do these kids have?

[alanadavis32]

Who wishes they had a window for close friends to climb in? I do!

[AnimeFan2236]

"...Be your boyfriend as long as you'll have me..." Yeah right...

[zekumi]

I love how Ginger talks about how high school's the first steps into adulthood, and then in her dream sequence she's walking backwards.

[Onara557]

Ha Twin Peaks.



[behappy452]

ginger & carl have some weird ass dream sequences...

[bowlinggal25]

Dude I didn't have anything this big for grade 8.

[neofeliss]

I definitely thought Ginger's dad squashed that butterfly! D8

But man, what a beautiful metaphor. <3

[Genesis4465]

I would baggggg daren

[TheTimrhodes93]

may I ask if anyone really wears gowns to a Jr. High Graduation? I didn't

[msmusic4evr]

@TheTimrhodes93 I did. The band even played Pomp and Circumstance and a recessional.

[mizzie18]

I'm 31 and this made me cry! I was fine until the flashbacks at the end. It's just so touching. It makes me want to call up my old high school friends. It also makes me want to run upstairs and wake up my "baby" just to hug her. She turns 8 tomorrow and I really know now Lois feels in this one.

[Jocelynyhakate]

Mmmmm student council president and cornerback's girlfriend doesn't sound bad to me (:

[Jocelynyhakate]

I'm gonna cry, I'm about to finish high school, damn it has been a long long time since I last watched this.. it's just beautiful to remember.. I'd love to thank for this cartoon, really.

[FrailShiver]

Oh my god Noelle. 5:11 D:

[hoo357]

1:24 his speech on holding onto things in life, 100% true. This was when cartoons actually taught something and had moral values. ATBG was such a great show for young people, what happened to THESE kinds of shows.

[BreAna1393]

2:50 creepy. lol

[jedmeade3]

This episode is exaclty what happened to me in my freshman year..me and ginger coukd be sisters lol

[natalieesmith1]

HA! Suck it Dodie!

[heartkeyseeker]

Maci does look good without green hair.

[WonderlandAlicexo]

Macie looks great without grey hair (:

[hairman180]

hahaha 7:39

[Celeste7737]

Carl, what did I tell you about bringing body parts to the breakfast table?.... Wait... Okay, I'm not even going to ask. hahahahaha Love this show!

[inushamagelet]

Has anyone noticed that the dream sequence is a well replicated reference from a oldish and popular tv show called twin peaks by David Lynch. So funny love the writers on this show they have a story that appeals to young kid and teenagers and they also throw in little reference's like that for the older generation.

[TheVenerated]

so macie's real hair color was that green weird color?

[HiApocalypeExists]

"i am commited to being your boyfriend,for as long as you'll have me, and i'm not going to let anything get in the way of that. I wont give up!"

Pshhhh!!! yeaaahhhh right, Darren!!!!

[fantasyfiction101]

@HiApocalypeExists well they did get married

[SitaraVandom]

@HiApocalypeExists LoL Seriously. Was thinking the same thing. Would've liked to have seen how he managed to convince Ginger that he was worth the bother the second time around, to the point of having gotten married and reproduced later on in life. -_-

[MarenAnne66]

I love Ginger's mom. :)

[Zephyrgirl13]

BOKAH!

[luluspencer49]

pause at 3:31

[tazkongmcgraw]

Nooo Noel!!!

[CupcakeAuslyn]

awh macie's hair looks so good!

[vcdramageek1]

Oooo.....poor Noel

[gumie1995]

My school didn't even have a graduation for 8th grade

[Heyu7her3]

is macie black??? & she looks good with natural-colored hair lol

[PunkyPink85]

@Heyu7her3 She's a mix between Asian & white :)

[MWolfL]

I'm wondering something...does Polly's parents know that they have raised a vulture instead of a songbird (metaphorically speaking)?

[BATwoman679]

Omg this is soooo true!! I'm a senior this coming year and it feels like last year I was just starting out... Damn it flies by!! I miss it!! Where'd the time go?

[Artemis10001]

TWIN PEAKS FTW!!!!!!!!!!!

[dimransee]

omg the twin peaks parody! I get it now! (at twenty years old, I GET IT! :D)

damn, watching twin peaks was a good move... who shot mr burns' twin peaks parody now makes sense too lol

[BlondeCurlsBlueEyes]

How on earth did they get a butterfly to land on their hands? :) Awesome!

[oooh19]

@bookworm362 yea every level is a big thing, college graduation is bigger but funny thing many ppl i went to high school with didnt finish college

[o0ostellazstaro0o]

thats so sad.........this reminds me of starting middle school .....all my friends from kindergarten thru 5th grade we were so close ...middle school started hardley ever talked to them ....except my best friend we stayed close....til high school ....she got into marching band and kinda changed alot were still friends but not like it use to be....im 19 now....and hands down change sucks sometimes :(

[courtinii]

I'm 20, and this makes me miss school :(

[Strawberrywinex0]

Me and my best friends thought freshman year was going to mean being a kid is over but we also thought we'd stay close. I'm a junior in August and I don't talked to any of them.

[FuzzNation1]

TWIN PEAKS hahaha yes

[tl11rj7x]

@FuzzNation1 lol I didn't think anyone else would notice that^^

[shatonia18]

when your young your in such a rush to grow up and when high school finally comes, your not so ready. your scared and nervous and just not ready to go into that big building.

[LamegosRock123]

Wow darren is so full of shit lol

[Whackadoo1]

Are these people jewish? I am getting a jewish new jersey vibe from how these people talk, look(i know right), and their names?

[heykoolaid100]

@Whackadoo1 her dad is jewish and her mom lived in new york

[Whackadoo1]

@heykoolaid100 thought so.

[izzkei778redlan]

who eevr dislike it has no concern of this movie

[mzluv2dance]

i really miss this show i wanted to be ginger when i was little she taught me so much

[AngelusLabyrinth]

Im currently a freak out maniac too.. :)

[kitsunamii]

Wait until they graduate high school! xD

[Uberchick464]

macy looks hot!

[unicornalita]

they didn't do a junior high graduation at my school :(

[RandomWriter9110]

@unicornalita - My school didn't even HAVE a junior high! xD

[LibbyLou123444]

@RandomWriter9110 You didn't go to middleschool?

[RandomWriter9110]

@LibbyLou123444 - My school district didn't have an actual middle school. Three towns made up my school district, so we had three elementary schools that had grades K through 6 in them. Then those three elementary schools combined into one high school that had grades 7 through 12 in it. We didn't have a school in between it. So we only had a 6th grade graduation and a 12th grade graduation. I'm a sophomore in college now. :)

[loobyxxlou]

I love how slowly old Hoodsey blinks

[darkraven2116]

Stupid Polly ... I can't believe she would win over Noelle .... I really liked Noelle! </3

[juliamothbat]

twin peaks reference????

[SailorV1234]

that's it. when i have kids i'm making sure i have all the shows i grew up on dvd and having them play those when they want to watch stuff. 90's shows had values and lessons that taught stuff that actually helped me sometimes.

[StardeAnamdi]

Hahaha. Did anyone else pick up "The Brady Bunch" reference when the football hit Dodie's nose?

[SarahCorine2011]

awww poor noelle

[thewickedzirenita]

Why is Ginger's dad never around?

[LittleFlowerLei]

What I liked about this show was that Ginger's family showed the reality of parents getting divorced when their kids are young. Its not the world-ending-trauma today's TV makes it out to be. It sucks, yeah, but life goes on. This show shows life going on normally for her even though her parents aren't together.

[victorian1870]

SPOILER if you haven't seen further episodes

darren is a liar ¬¬ he will turn to be cheating bastard and leave her for a cheerleader

[sh3ila17]

0:06 ha dodie gets hit with a football :P

[polkadottedpants]

omg i love this show

[1mnmfan]

middle school graduations are so mediocre!!

[pinky12351]

her dad almost killed a butterfly

[0wnuall101]

ginger never fell out of her bedroom window o.o

[grievousorvenom]

something is seriously wrong with Paulie, perhaps she needs help

[TanilovesCrimMinds]

I wish my Middle School Graduation was that cool! Mine was in the Cafeteria/Auditorium and the A/C was broken! haha :)

[MizzArtiztic]

macie looks so pretty. :)

[babymariemerchant]

We didn't have 8th grade graduation, or a 5th. Weird!

[Rockabore]

Wow Ginger's mom's diet sure worked fast!

[MWolfL]

Aw man, I got really upset when Noelle dumped Carl like that. :'(

[xxo0KaylaMarie0oxx]

My 8th grade graduation was weird..we looked like we were going to prom not graduating lol

[animepivotfan]

did anyone notice that when the guitar background music starts it sounds like the beginning of imagine the version that david archuletta sang on american idol?

[animepivotfan]

Respond to this video... we has middle school graduation, dress upbeat but it wasn't that bigwig

[PeAnUtBuTtErNjElLy24]

"carl I was just about to sing with dolphins in a rock band!"

best line EVER!

[unicornfunful]

ginger's dad is definately a pedophile... i mean common.. he showed up while she was sleeping unprotected where no one was around..

[godloverbrit]

@unicornfunful its her dad duhh

[TheFutileSearch]

I always feel so awkward whenever Gingers dad shows up

[thebluekey]

@TheFutileSearch It is a little weird, and then her jokes about him leaving are a little unnerving...

[lindseykaybee]

a middle school graduation? seriously? all i got for graduating middle school was a lame CD and a t shirt

[brokenheartpro]

@lindseykaybee really? im graduating this year, and its a huge ceremony where the girls wear fancy white dresses and the guys wear tuxes.

[DazzieNerd]

@lindseykaybee lol i had a graduation primary school age 11 << big thing!

[Rockandrollangel666]

@lindseykaybee I didnt get anything. =D

[ShutUpAndLetMeGo94]

@lindseykaybee lol, I got nothing for middle school "graduation" but some schools take it insanely seriously. ha

[everlongview7]

What in the name of hell is Miss Zorski wearing?

[brizeey]

It's hard to believe that they don't have cartoons like this on anymore, this is only a cartoon and it has more moral values and deeper emotional lessons then icarly zach and cody and whatever other lame shows for young americans under the age of 16. Now a days kids are watchin shit like family guy (I love that show but I'm old enough to watch it) and 16 and pregnant. American youth is getting dumber by the years...

[raeb011]

@brizeey i can really agree .... they canceled all these shows but man the crap their showing today is bull.....

[MsInvisibleguy]

@brizeey ..amen, my friend....its a wonder this world cannot get any better, because they are feeding crap to the younger generation who are suppose to be the ones to uplift the world. If they continue that way we are doommmeedddd i say... doomed!!!!!!!!!!

[kthies14]

@brizeey

Agreed. There's so much a kid could learn from shows like this, but i bet if you were to show it to a kid now they'd think it's stupid or boring..and it does seem like the american youth is getting dumber by the years..i've actually given up hope on them almost.

[mymellowtears]

@brizeey this made my day.

[Briannamakesyousmile]

Whoa Macy u look amazing!!!:)

[98malimal]

macey looks so hot

[sftballchic2009]

instead of digging with Polly, they should have hit her with the shovels!

[XMusicDudetteX]

Brady Bunch reference when Dodie gets hit in the nose with the football, hahaha.

[610kittycat]

I like gingers hair like that

[610kittycat]

Carry me carl lol

[annacrack]

Its kind of freaky that a girl thats only in 8th grade can think that deeply about some things. It almost feels like shes graduating high school and moving on to college.

[marshalle1026]

Nothing like a Twin Peaks reference in a kids show.

[deityfreya]

"carry me caaaarl!!!" LOL

[tufftandle]

I saw the butterflies and I thought "oh, this is going to be lame advice" ... Jonas Foutley, I'm impressed.

[dancingeliza]

lol ET at 4:07

[Unolai]

Macie looks totally cute! =D

[domtom010]

WOOH! I love Ginger's hair! I know it's just a cartoon, but she looks Great :)

[domtom010]

[kRYStlExGrL]

[americanchopperfan1]

[twi1fan]

[colemanfan242]

UM? Am I the only one who finds it odd that Carl just KNEW Noelle was standing there before he turned around?

[ifukknluvjayz]

OMG! i never realized how thin their mom had gotten! haha. i obviously dont pay any attention. :p

[DichoPorGinger]

00:07 PWNED!

[XxJellyBeanSkullsxX]

[jordan9328]

"Hi boy" lol Courtney.

"Carry me Carl" Hoodsi.

[hottie2377]

[LizaKimoto]

"Carry me, Carl?" Geeze, that's the kind of thing that you regret right after saying it.

[MrRadaikon]

8:38 LIES!!!

[PhatNatLovesCupcakes]

ahh this show takes me back i love Ginger

[horsepheus]

Damn this show is very well written

[NikoBellic069]

@horsepheus you got that right, all hail legendary shows from the 90's

[KillUnicornsx]

"My good knee aches. Must be fixing to rain." xD

[DonnaIsBeast]

I love how Ginger was petting the Butterfly! hahahah

[AnimeObsession3000]

WOW! Macie looks great!^^

[COA2011]

[bfHill144]

[ke11yke11z]

2:42

[ke11yke11z]

2:53 lmfao

[snoopysfavperson]

Carry me Carl!

[SharonSheckler]

I love this show but its so annoying because it keeps freezing!!

[cupcupcupcakes]

if u touch a butterfly's wings it cant fly...

[chiipooted]

hoodsie looks like my grandpa when they're old men hahahaa

[dylz]

wtf kind of butterfly lets people pet it

[Audrey1845]

Macy is adorable!

[alisterfletcherluvr]

i agree with Ginger 110%...i dont wanna graduate highschool, im gonna cry like a baby when i graduate...hopefully in 3, or 2 ish years, my mind will change

[Drebot0831]

@alisterfletcherluvr

Don't worry. It will.

[marializ10]

who is the boy of the sax??

[ladydarkness17]

I never understood why 8th grade gra have cap n gowns...my 8th grade barely had tshirts let alone cap n gowns lol

[Sshelly34213]

@ladydarkness17 I had a cap and gown...

[immaeatchu336]

@ladydarkness17 Same here. We just all dressed nicely and they gave us a certificate lol. I was so happy though to be away from that wretched school, but now I kinda miss it.

[hitori808]

Ginger's mom is so awesome~ :D I'm glad her diet finally worked... xD <3

[hitori808]

Lol.. "Carry me Carl!" xD

[16scorpio18]

i dont like this episode..

it reminds me too much of reality and how everything will change

:(

[satanknight14]

ben the 2 of us need look no more , we both found wat we were looking 4. lol gingers dad dog name is ben like michael jacksons song about a pet rat..common name 4 animals after a king of pop song

[BlueJeanBaby012]

Dodie and Macie should totally keep their hair like that. (I don't recall later episodes soo.)

[funnystuffromfriends]

darren's a jerk. the way he cheats on her in that future epoisode! and he just said he'd be faithful as long as she'd have him. JERK!

[yankeez14love]

@funnystuffromfriends wat episode is that?????

[DimondSkullz]

omg when that graduation music starts its like whoaa...

[0yuestar0]

btw if you ever have a nose bleed never tilt your head back like Doddie you'll get a blood rush to the back of your head.

[prettyprincess82196]

i luv this show y did they cancell it???

[123salamander456]

wot her dad says is beautiful

[ImAnElephant89]

The lady who does the voice of Ms. Zorski died :(

[passionatelover7]

@ImAnElephant89 yeah she died of liver failure. the one who did that science teacher's voice also died as well as the one who did carl's teacher's voice( they had an episode dedicated to her and her character died as well.)

[PSgirl21]

this show is so heartfelt and meaningful...I honestly did feel like ginger when I was at this age..everything is so easy to relate to and it's so deep

[havik82]

as told by ginger is my favvvv!!!

[berrysqueeze]

why no comments?

and wheres 48?

[doeraybaby]

get. married. ginger. and. darren. or i will pop!!!!

[coldplay109]

Did I see an E.T reference at 4:07 ? XDDD

[beautifuldead420]

i like this show cause it points out so many good morals, thinks a good cartoon. i used to watch it when i was little teen C:

[doeraybaby]

cartoons don't do that so much anymore unless they're on nick jr...... omg remember face!?!?!?!

[Reioa]

I love butterflies so much ^^

[coccinelsucrer]

Poor Noelle...the more episodes i watch, the more i like that girl.

I love ATBG, most teen girls (including me) can relate to the main character and the story is so deep that i barely can believe this is a simple Nickelodeon cartoon. I've been going throught that childhood/adulthood dilemma too since i entered high school, but it feels weird to know that a lot of other teens are experiencing that too. This is certainly my favorite Nick cartoon (that and Avatar the last airbender)

[unlovedx345]

i was the only one of my friends not ready for high school 4 years ago also.

[alolisa113]

"Carl, there's hair everywhere. Look at my ears"

XD Gotta love Hoodsie :D

[doeraybaby]

carry me carl!
