YAB - Wish Fullfilment - Money, Money, Money, Part 2

[preciousangel18]

Oh, and I just love how you went: "Renesmee(the anti-christ)" @7:46. It was hella funny.

[preciousangel18]

In a nutshell: The Twilight Series(IT. DOES NOT. DESERVE. THE TITLE. OF SAGA) is nothing but a little schoolgirl fantasy that a 3O+-year-old-woman has. It's sick that it's gain such popularity. Meyers can't even SYMPATHIZE with Third World countries and have the Cullens, oh I dunno, DONATE? And if they were so rich, why would they even be living in a place so small like Forks? Wouldn't that overwhelming money and expensive things STAND OUT in such a small town?

[gls6388]

Oh my god... I watch Iron Man and am a huge fan of him and his fan fics. He uses his wealth to fight crime (with the suit) and donate a lot to charity. Like his art collection to the Boy Scouts. But... compared to the Cullens, he's... reserved.

Meyerpyers are rich, gorgeous, immortal, and have the best sex (I read that from Breaking Dawn.). They are the embodiment of wish full fulfillment.

[SaichanRadioPlay1]

I think you forgot Edward's motorcycle from Eclipse, which apparently didn't exist yet.

[Goldkehlchen20]

Not only the Cullens love their cars... the author does, too. In the german translation 1040 lines of the entire book contain only descriptions of cars and what the protagonists do with them. That's two lines per page.

[LadyFelidae]

i love your videos! i never realised how selfish they realy are! besides not donating their money there's an other selfish thing i just realised, they have all those "superheropowers" and never use them to help anyone besides bella.

[TomMSTie]

Criminey! I'm surprised Bella doesn't live in a pink castle sitting on a cloud.

[TomMSTie]

@Evilkritter No, no I haven't. In fact I'd rather drink a glass of AIDS than read any of the books.

[XXXKingofSorrow]

I really wouldn't be surprised if they had the original "Little Bastard" Porche. No, really. Try it, Meyer and watch your stardom fall faster than a wanning rock star.

I DARE YOU.

[XXXKingofSorrow]

Money made Cuban cigars, anyone?

[seikjo]

@XXXKingofSorrow

.....No cigarette paper made from money! Or lighting fires with wads of cash!

[XXXKingofSorrow]

SOLID GOLD MONEY TOWER!!!

Ducktales, Woo-hoo!

[TomMSTie]

Lighting post coital cigarettes with savings bonds and stock certificates?

[gls6388]

@XXXKingofSorrow Well, it's not like the Cullens could get cancer from smoking.

[XXXKingofSorrow]

@gls6388 Again, why not?

[XXXKingofSorrow]

Which, apparently, do not require oil.

[nely1000]

Bella drives a bulletproof car...oh, wait she must be very important...lol.

[soccer16chick01]

HAHAHA. I just got the mental image of Charlie confronting Bella over driving a car meant for drug lords... Oh man. So much good stuff could have come from this series.

[NOTaTEAMplayer]

Can't wear the same clothes twice? If I was a vampire and never perspired etc I'd be wearing my favorite shirt for about a hundred years before I bought something new. Rehearing these quotes is seriously making me spiral into a depression.

[TheManeatingchicken]

Seriously I would be wearing something nice and loose from the '20s whenever I was at home. And if you've lived that long wouldn't it be hard remember what you have and haven't worn?

[XXwateverloserXX]

Ok thats just retarded. Carlisle is a friggen doctor, he does nothing but help people all day. Plus the cullens gave up their NATURAL animalistic instincts because they hated the thought of killing humans, so they feed off of animals. Now they are suppose to solve the problems of the world. You make things to complicated. Twilight is for fun. Not to solve the moral problems of the world.

[Asuna6573]

That just... makes me want to puke. I'd forgotten they had that much. And did anyone else notice the part that they could keep a small country afloat for several months?! Yet, what do they do with it? Buy new clothes for every day. *shakes head in disgust*

[iStalkWeasels]

i think it was decades, not months, and yes. that's just...I can't believe it! seriously!

[XXwateverloserXX]

Its NOT REAL. Its the epitome of fantasy. The characters are not real, nor is the money they spend. So i feel that if Stephanie Meyer wants them to live it up a bit, then they should. The book its to take you out of reality. Not everyone can have perfect morals. Yeah Edward was a bit controlling any1 can admit to that but he also apologized not even a full chapter later and told her im not your father you can do what you want (paraphrase of course) I guess everything cant be as real as pokemon.

[SapphoGrl4U]

We all know that the books and characters aren't real. However, the message that Meyer is putting out IS real: And that message pretty much is "I GOT MINE! IF YOU DON'T HAVE YOURS, TOO BAD! I WON'T HELP YOU!" Having characters with that much money and not having them do anything altruistic with it says a lot about them and the author.

Also Pokemon is better written.

[janeausten071]

and probably meyer will lose all the money she earn next year...............since she totally loves an extravagant life!

[YamishiMizuandDracus]

@SapphoGrl4U mystery dungeon 2 in particular :3 that series had some nice plot twists.

[DemonicRemption]

@XXwateverloserXX You obviously don't understand the concept of criticism...

[XXwateverloserXX]

@DemonicRemption your obviously ruh-tarded.



[DemonicRemption]

@XXwateverloserXX Is that the best you can do? I've been called that ever since I was 9. It's a bland term to me by this point... Besides the fact that you can't respect an opinion that is so tiny in the grander scheme of things shows that you're the real retard here. Because in the end when all is said and done Twilight is still your favorite book, and that's all that should matter to you not the criticism it gets from others like myself who have higher expectations.

[wajmgirl]

Another thing showing how ridiculously rich they are: the black credit card. More than likely, this is the best one, the best of the best. You'd have to have as much money if not more than freaking Bill Gates to get a bloody black credit card.

[nimbemon]

i guess that in meyerland the description of clothes compensates for the lack of character development...

[shmeiliarockie]

That's true of most Suethors' stories.

[Martmeisterpaladin]

In fairness, it can be argued that AS the Cullens are "vampires", they, like other vampires, are only interested in what benefits them and them alone, and care little for the concerns of their cattle - a vampire's view of humans. After all, why try to keep something alive when you know it's about to die?

[shmeiliarockie]

If that was truly their attitudes, then Edward really would have eaten Bella on the spot the first time he met her (snapping the necks of everyone in class in the processs). For that matter, they wouldn't bother attending high school. They would be too busy picking hitchhikers off the highway or something. They certainly wouldn't be "vegetarians".

Also, Carlisle is a doctor. He cares for and about humans. As the leader, I'd think he would encourage a similiar mindset in his "children".

[Martmeisterpaladin]

Fair enough. Sorry, I've never really read the books. So I wouldn't know.

By the way, great job on the vids! I like 'em!

[FlowerKatGoddess]

A VANQUISH!? Are you kidding me?! How in the hell are they able to have such disposable income? Jesus Meyer needs to fix her story...

[shmeiliarockie]

*widens eyes to suggest innocence* What do you mean? Her story is absolutely perfect just the way it is!

[loukhos]

Thinking about them .. them and how they deal with money and how Meyers appears to think of money in her fantasy world, well it just makes me physicaly ill.

[bushes283]

I agree with you but I resent the part about the cabin in the woods as being over the top. My parents own a private cottage with a lake and several islands, and we're not filthy rich.

[xKapsuleCorp]

I think what makes it over the top is how "perfect" it is, not that they have it. But yeah But yeah I can see your point.

[GracefulValley]

No, thank YOU! You're brilliant!

I can't believe how some people are so blind! Can't they see the obvious? if nything shouldn't the leaches be doing something vaguely charitable or in the slightist bit helpful with their eternal lives?! Oh heaven forbid, that would just be horrifying! The cullens actually *helping* somebody?

I think I may faint...

hehe, backing up your every word!

[Yourpants]

You speak very true words, my friend. I really couldn't agree with you more on these YAB videos. XD

[Hopelessromanticwork]

I'm a big fan. I can't wait until the next segment. You are awesome!

[climbinggecko]

It's almost worse that Bella realizes it's abuse but the rest of the characters assure her it's not. Makes you wonder how the author feels about it herself. Does she know at a subconscious level that it's bad? Worth thinking about.

[shmeiliarockie]

I hope she does, but I don't know. She got very upset when someone suggested it once during an interview.

[Bad0Chilli]

I like how in Eclipse Jacob even pointed the abuse out and Bella was all like, "YOU'RE CRAZY."

And I think maybe that's why none of the Twihards like him. Because he was the voice of reason for a brief moment, maybe.

[Sparklypiggy]

I've written essays, papers, PARODIES about the terrors of Twilight, and I've gotta say, you are incredibly correct in... everything. You've summed every flaw that most people (including me) just gloss over or summarize. Everything is from the book or the author, indisputable and utterly amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[shmeiliarockie]

Aww, thank YOU, for such kind words!

[pyritequeen]

These books glorify all that is wrong with the world. And the scariest part is so many people don't see it.

[xtine2thextreme]

So I have watched all of your videos and while i enjoyed reading to books there were many parts where i wanted to just destroy the books and or the characters. I don't defend them because i feel like everyone is entitled to an opinion of their own however i do enjoy them.

That being said, you have been the only "anti" that i can honestly listen to. You did not fight the way general twitards do "but edward is sooooo hawt" you used substance and quotes from the books.

[xtine2thextreme]

(i had too much to say)

Also if i am infact Bella will someone please help me kill myself. The only thing we have in common is that we are both total klutzes. (I am currently on crutches) But she has got to be one of the most annoying characters in any book i have ever read.

Without getting too much into my personal life i will tell you that i have had people leave and being a normal, stable self sufficient person i fell apart for two weeks tops, it wasn't like the world stopped because of it.

[xoxstace13xox]

renessme...(the anti christ)

you are so damn funny im gonna die =)

[slaughterersrock]

@xoxstace13xox I'd call her the antichrist... but that's giving her way too much credit!

[maikujakufan]

Where do you get your pdfs for the book?

[greenkiwi689]

I hate Twilight. It's not even a story. It's page after page about how good looking Edward is. If Meyer cut out all the Edward gushy stuff and left only the plot Twilight would only be about 50-75 pages long.

[sarahewright9]

gross, just gross. the blatant materialism and rotten cinderella-ness just blows me away.

[fffdavid]

Why does she bother naming the cars at all? The target audience for this series is teenage girls and most teenage girls can't tell a good car from a bad one, just tell them it's shiny and red and they'll assume it's good (I do the same XD) the only girl I know who can name different cars on sight wouldn't touch these books with a barge pole even though they have werewolves in and she likes werewolves.

They buy an island? Does it have a volcano? Fire kills them right?

[shmeiliarockie]

I wish. -__-

[fffdavid]

I'll just assume the island was on a fault line and one horrible earthquake later they all burned to death in the Earth's mantle. Ah, now there's a happy ending.

[Nekorin]

Won't wear the same outfit twice? Bought their own island? Another cartoon villain stereotype. Meyer really has created a delightful crew... I feel dizzy. O_o;; Sometimes I worry about offending my friends who like it. Nontheless, I had this convo.

Friend: "You liked season 2 of Sailor Moon? It sucked compared to the manga."

Me: "I loved it!"

Friend: *shakes head condescendingly*

Me: "Shut up, you like Twilight" XP

Despite that being a bad comeback, he shut up after that.

[diamondunicorn08]

Ugh, as someone struggling with money problems, the Meyerpires money throwing is truly disgusting. I don't hate rich people for being rich, although I can hate them when they act so selfish and wasteful. And these are supposed to be the story's 'hero's'? *Gag*

I'd say I could write better in my sleep, but... well, we see where that gets us with Meyer.

Despite the sick feeling in my stomach from hearing about the Meyerpires riches, I did enjoy hearing you rip the books another new one ^_^

[SyeraMiktayee]

The Cullens are officially a loathsome lot, and a perfect example of wretched excess. While millions are starving, they're shipping in shiny new toys from Europe to play with.

It would seem Carlisle's *real* ability is to be a bigger two-face than a politian: He pretends to be morally superior because he drinks *animal* blood - while cheerfully wasting and hogging valuable resources and allowing his family to do the same.

Who'd have thought it: Vampires who "feed" on the world's resources.

[satanicwatermelon]

This is beginning to remind me of 'The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas', some sick, twisted, utopic fantasy.

Where are you keeping the child Meyer, WHERE?!

... No one is going to get that joke, but I can't bring myself to care.

[kiwisunshine5233]

Why is there a "snip" every so often? Is it some kind of hypnotizing thing?

[SailorYavin]

it's that she's cutting some of the passage off and going later in it

[amyrat151]

No, she says that whenever she cuts a part of the text out while she's reading.

[shmeiliarockie]

I only read chunks of it... The fail is too strong if I don't cut stuff out once in a while.

[busteds]

Well I like your Hanson shirt :P

Very good points, as always. You're quite the thought-provoker.

[JLynneh]

Asdfghjkl is my response to that.

Bella/Stephenie, you've outdone yourself. So often she complains when she gets amazing gifts. Now Sparklepants hands her a ferrari... and she doesn't want it? *chagrin chagrin*

Also, with the amount of riches the Cullens have accumulated (like impossibly rich), you'd think more people would take notice of their existence. =\

[Hotspur]

I think the wealth is just lazy writing. It's another obstacle that allows Bella and Cullen Cult to do as they liked without having to actually think of a feasible way to do it. And the sad thing is, Alice's willful throwing away of clothing is just a sad testament to how empty the life of a vampire is. Unconsciously, Smeyer basically shows that with immortality, they have not gained wisdom, kindness or goodness. They just stagnate into materialism.

[maikujakufan]

Dear god I threw up several times during all of that. I know a lot of rich kids who waste money like nobody's business. But this makes them all look penniless and responsible. Even with a couple hundred years of life and a perfect stock market predictor they shouldn't have this much money. It's disgusting. It's one thing to make a character rich it's another to do this.

[insanedemonspaz]

Rich vampires, hmm... psst Meyer, you stole that from Anne Rice you moron!

I continue to enjoy your vids.

[Preosmo]

Ok. So Smella is a Mormon, right? Well, one of the core beliefs is helping out our fellow man. If Twilight as supposed to be about abstaining from sex (which went well in book four--I don't want to boink a vamp if I'll have a freak baby that turns my friends into pedos), and that's a religion thing, despite OUR beliefs or yours, she should've you know, . . . I don't know.

[shmeiliarockie]

I'm not Mormon, I'm Baptist. But still, some of the beliefs are the same.

The way I see the abstinence in Twilight is that it's only there because Meyer felt uncomfortable writing about sex in any form beyond kissing. But if that was such a hurdle for her (for religious reasons or otherwise), she shouldn't have been writing a romance in the first place.

Besides, Bella didn't want to be abstinent. Edward made her conform to his desire on the subject. That's not an equal partnership at all.

[Preosmo]

No, not you. Smella = Stephenie Meyer + Bella. Sorry, I realise now how close the names are. Anyway, yeah I just thought it was odd how the symbolism was supposed to be apple = forbidden fruit, vampires = aids or some nonsense like that. I heard it from a Twihard. Then in book four, she poops out a kid. But the point was, if Smella's a hardcore mormon type, wouldn't she try to, you know, spread wealth? Crazy, huh?

[TheOneThatYouLoathe]

Again, we only hear about things important to Bella. Bella dislikes humans, because they're not special. So, of course, we're not going to hear anything about charity whether it's there or not. for all any of us except Meyer knows they could fund AIDs research and be feeding everyone in Ethiopia. Meyer does have a tendency to avoid anything and everything not related to her speshul snowflake.

Either way, Meyer sucks and makes her already crappy characters seem even more worthless.

[shmeiliarockie]

This.

[TubbyCatProductions]

So is anyone else as repulsed as I am?

Oh, oh! *Raises hand* I am!

[XxTaiMTxX]

Not to be nitpicky or anything... But wouldn't donating such large amounts of money to charity cause them to get noticed? Oh wait, self-defeating argument there. They already throw money around as if it were nothing. I'm amazed someone isn't hunting them right now, or looking to steal their hoard of cash. I've used "filthy rich" in a few stories I've written, but never to this degree. Mostly it's out of laziness so that I don't have to write how my characters can buy things.

[Metamorpha]

oh man, I'm losing braincells listening to this. Not from only the words- I keep face palming at the sheer stupidity and selfishness that Meyer continues to pull.

[vernsi]

I agree with your points, I just have to ask... really? Hanson?

anyway, Ive only read a few bits form the books and that just blows my mind that people would find any of the characters endearing in anyway.

[shmeiliarockie]

Yes, I wore that shirt for the lulz. I used to be quite a rabid Hanson fan when I was younger.

[Preosmo]

As bad as the band is,

Hanson > Twilight

[shmeiliarockie]

Yes, exactly. At least Hanson grew as a band once they stopped being famous. Meyer's work will never improve.

Did you know all three of the Hanson brothers have kids now? Most people don't realize they're not still teenagers with long hair and high pitched voices.

[Preosmo]

Wore the shirt for the lulz, eh? Yet you know things about Hanson after their career. WE'RE ON TO YOU! The last Hanson I saw was the older one, in a movie or TV show and he looked THE SAME. Bizarre, some celebs never age.

[xKapsuleCorp]

Totally negate that were she actually sooooo selfless as Meyer and the fans claim maybe she'd convince Eddie to donate some of that money, and help others in need.

It's that selected selflessness, where you do stuff that appears selfless for the attention and then get to spoil yourself cause you earned it.

I just love how Meyer tries to make Bella look selfless for not wanting gifts and praise, but end up just making her sound like a b*tch instead.

[shmeiliarockie]

No, no, but Bella IS selfless! She didn't bully that lawyer guy! She... I dunno, she... No...

Eh, I got nothing.

[xKapsuleCorp]

You do that too well. lol

Seriously though that waste of money makes me sick. And we all know they only have so much money so Meyer can be lazy about how they are able to do things.

So you were a Hanson fan. I never was. I clung to much worse(i.e. Aaron Carter)

[janeausten071]

no...i heard there's a new one...they're called the jonas brothers!

[lukeedwardsimmons]

But, but, but, the rich and pretty people are just BETTER than us! How dare you condemn them, peon! KNEEL BEFORE ZOD! Ahem, I mean, the Cullens. :P

/sarc
