 Today, we are going to be doing something that I know you guys have been waiting for for quite a long time. I made a little video watching Black Mirror's Bander Snatch, I think like maybe three years ago and ever since then, you guys always want me to watch Black Mirror. And I decided to stray away from it because I thought it was too big of a world to dive into for a little old me, but I'm older, wiser and hotter and I've decided that I'm going to be tackling Black Mirror. Today, we're going to be watching the top three episodes of Black Mirror and this includes all the seasons except for season six. For season six, I'm going to do an entire video dedicated to just the four episodes I believe that are within season six. And if you guys like this video enough, I can cover all the Black Mirror episodes doing three episodes at a time. Today, we are going to be watching three episodes of Black Mirror. We are going to be watching White Bear, Shut Up and Dance, and we are going to be watching San Junipero. Without further ado, let's get into the video. I do have to say these are some of my favorite episodes of Black Mirror is subverting your expectations and subverting the narrative of what's going on. That is, it's such a simple thing to do by just switching who the bad guy is of the story, but it just is heaven to me. It's heaven to see the narrative shift just at the last like five minutes. It's an amazing twist that just makes everything so much juicier and it makes like watching it a second time so much better. And I think two of the episodes that we watched today is subverting your expectations within the episode and having you root for the completely wrong person of the story. Also, if you thought I was going to catch any Easter eggs, you're actually so stupid because I don't do that. I watch videos of other people explaining Easter eggs. I don't catch Easter eggs. I've watched every Black Mirror ending explained. Don't think I haven't. Even if it's the most straightforward plot of like San Junipero or Hang the DJ, like I'm watching Black Mirror Hang the DJ ending explained like every single time I want someone to feed me the plot like it is like I'm a baby. Ending explained videos are like a comfort, a true comfort to me and there's nothing else like them. It feels like a big warm hug after watching a really suspicious movie. So thank you to Ending Explained channels. I would be nothing if it weren't for you. Is that one of the 21 pilots? Is that Debbie Ryan's husband? I did not know he was in Black Mirror. That is so crazy. Did you guys know that he was in Black Mirror because I definitely didn't. Dude, one of the freaking best ways to open up an episode like it gives nothing and it is so great at the same time. The fact that they have kids in there is kind of crazy though, right? That's why I'm kind of like, ooh, that is kind of crazy. Anything else? I'm like, okay, I'll let you have it, but the kids I'm like, hold on, the kids should not be there. That is not the person from 21 pilots. That's not Debbie Ryan's boyfriend. That's not him. I don't like watching this, not that I've already seen it. I don't want to watch this. This is why I haven't watched this stupid goddamn episode again because it's like I don't want to watch it again. It literally makes me so physically ill watching it again. But what if in one scenario of this, like one telling of this, she just kind of sits in the house all day? Do they just come in and get her? Or does it always take her through the mission regardless? Dude, she is such a good actress because she looks so black out in every single shot. She looks scared. I mean, she's just like me, but like for real. Dude, her just saying like I'm a human being is like, her pleading and just being like I'm a human being is, it's so fucking hard. This episode is so fucking hard. It puts you in the worst fucking position to watch it. Like, what do you say to this? Like what part of this is fair? What part of this is unfair? Like is this crime worth the punishment? And I'm not saying that there's not an answer to that. These are the questions that this episode brings up. It also goes into what is exploited? What is entertainment? What are we as a society consuming and feeding into that is this like gnarly obsession? People watching trials, people going to watch like very public trials, people being obsessed with true crime hate this fucking episode. I hate it because it is impossible to watch and just like be like chill. You have to critically watch it and think about what it's even saying and there's so many interpretations and there's so many conversations that this episode can provoke. I think it's wonderful. I love any Black Mirror episode that can make me go on our tangent. This is one of them. I freaking love it. Let's go. Sorry guys. I'm not even saying much because I'm just waiting for that reveal. Like it's just too good of a reveal to not wait for it. Like I just need to keep my mouth shut. You guys were waiting for a commentary where I don't speak. Here it is. I'm silent. This is how I feel when I'm in like a haunted house. Like I definitely feel like they're just like playing the game. It's like stop, like stop playing with me. I'm just trying to survive. I'm just trying to like make it out the other end unscathed and you're like you're really messing with me right now. No fucking way. I know it was coming but it still gets me every single time. The mass applause. All the people that she was seeing when she was in the neighborhood and like it's time to tell you who you are. So fucked up. I know it. I this is just so fucked up. But I tell you what you are though. You're famous. You're famous. Yes. She didn't look to um she didn't look to a show. I don't know what you are supposed to say to that. That is fucking crazy and it also adds to it that the fiance killed himself and then they were like the public was like we're not letting this bitch get away with it. Like it's like this fiend to get justice somehow from somebody and I think like the main the episode isn't over but the main point of the end of the episode is that like there is no justice that can be done when an innocent life is lost. That doesn't mean that I think everyone should get off and like be free. I'm just saying that like for anyone that is a victim of something like that the family members of the victim like there is simply nothing that can be done to bring their loved one back and it cannot bring that it cannot bring them justice which I think is like what the end goal of this episode is not the end goal but I think it's like one of the many ways to interpret this episode is that like yes this is really fucked up and someone is getting punished but it is it justice. Does this punishment equal justice and I think that's a really interesting question to ask yourself when asking about capital punishment but let's continue this episode because there's more things that they talk about that I want to talk about. And it's just all very eerie it's all very eerie because then he goes into what is okay to exploit and in turn is this also exploiting the death of the little girl. It's like documentaries, biopics is this showing light on something or is this just exploiting someone's story and someone's death. Is this turning this tragic event into entertainment and I think that this episode holds a lot more in it than you probably realize like you might just be thinking it's talking about capital punishment but then also goes into a lot of stuff about entertainment and and fans and and this this viewer role that we all play into when we consume news it's fucking crazy because then I think if I was the parents of Jemima what I think this is like I don't know I'm never would I even if it was for like a justice a justified reason would I want my daughter to be a part of this show every single night no I wouldn't I would want my daughter to be able to rest even if the people are being like she's guilty fuck that bitch like all that type of shit I don't think I would want my daughter I don't think I want my daughter and anything in any part of that so it's best to keep your distance at least three meters back you can use your camera zoom dude it's so fucking sick like the mix between like the Truman show and like the most fucked up thing you've ever seen in your entire life like not saying that the Truman show isn't fucked up but it's like that as punishment like not chill at all almost all black mirror episodes strike conversation and make you think a little bit about grand topics like that but this one just strikes a chord because it dives into so many different territories of the lives that we live in involving you know obviously technology crimes and and capital punishment and and justice which I feel like is like a really big time that we're in right now what is justice what is justice for those who have suffered and you ask yourself is this white bear Justice Park what gives the family and the little girl the most justice and I still believe even though I wouldn't care really what happens to a nasty ass criminal who would kill an innocent little girl and torture on camera don't care about them I would care about how it affects the family and the little girls legacy within life I think that like dragging on the death is like so damaging to the little girl and I think that's a part of the white bear that we don't really dive that deep into is we focus in on her and and what's happening to her when she's in the in the park and if it's right that it's happening to her but I think that the question that I more focus on is if it is justified if it is justice for the little girl plot twist one of the biggest plot twists within black mirror is white bears plot twist of her being the criminal of the story and her not being this character that we should sympathize with she is not this innocent person being chased she is actually a fucked up criminal who committed crimes and that's how she got into the situation it's time for everyone's favorite episode of black mirror this is the freaking episode that everyone shows this is the episode that if you're smart enough you'll show people first instead of the national anthem today we're gonna be watching shut up and dance this is the episode that everyone suggests everyone everyone says their favorite episode and I don't blame you if this is your favorite episode or even if it's your least favorite episode I think it's a really hard to watch episode and the subject matter and it is so hard to watch I love the overarching theme of black mirror of like who deserves this like who deserves this fucked up shit to happen to them like that is one of the best things about like almost all the episodes is like who deserves this who really does deserve this and I know a few people that do I can I could give you a list of a few people that deserve to be black veiled I don't someone forgot this just don't watch black mirror episodes once you've seen it once like just don't watch it today and because you'll watch these scenes and it just it makes me like sick to my stomach because it's just so fucking it's so small of a scene but it's so fucking sick now that you think about it this is a very similar format of white bear it's a similar aspect of like punishment and who is the right person to give out that punishment right which I love I think it's a wonderful topic the fact that he okay in terms of what we know it by the end of the episode the fact that he didn't already have a lock on his door kind of seems weird like you were that confident that you were not gonna get caught like you're a freak and that's even more disturbing I'm gonna start sending that email to people even if I don't know anything about I'm just gonna send like a mass email chain just like I know what you did I don't know what they did I don't have any information on them but that'd be really funny if I just started sending that to people anonymously also raise your hand if you didn't understand what happened at the end of this episode the first time you watched it because I didn't I watched this episode for the first time and I had no idea what in the world any of the ending meant I was like I don't know why it's such a big deal because I was actually stupid because I was actually stupid and I basically just didn't watch the episode because I was like I don't understand like why this cop showed up because I'm stupid like because I'm actually stupid but then I talked to other people and some people didn't understand it too there's a lot of people that on the first watch you don't understand what's happening and I completely sympathize I empathize and I relate to you because I did not really understand what was going on first time I watched it either so there is nothing more than I wish than to have watched this for the first time in a theater like I know it's not a movie and it's not that part of it that I'm like oh my god it's so cinematically amazing that I need to see the theater I just wish I was with like a huge group of people when I watched this for the first time and I feel like most people that watch this for the first time were alone I wish I freaking was with like a huge group of people who hadn't seen it like that would have just made my day that would have just been epic to just see everyone's face melt off because it's just so awful like it is like the most awful thing to watch him number 3109 say that back to me just the number there's 3109 okay come they chose the best fucking person to play him because he's so like innocent looking and innocent speaking like he has this high mouthy voice so he's actually the worst person in the whole fucking world who is driver who is rubber also I will say I don't really understand this whole notion to rob the bank like in the scheme of like the hackers I don't really get why it's so beneficial to them because it's seen as like the prize money but I don't really see how it helps them at all because I don't think the hackers end up getting the money anyways maybe I'm just like stupid most of the times I have questions about movies it's not because the movie is confusing it's because I'm actually stupid ending explained come back black mirror ending explained come back just weeks we're talking years here my pictures hang about on Google like a gypsy fucking curse there's no cure for the internet it would never go away it would be glued to your name a fucking stain on you he really made even just him jacking off seem like the worst thing in the world which like also like just automatically just jacking off on camera without the added element of that motherfucker is I would be mortified if that happened to me obviously but him making just that part of it seems so crazy so awful and then the added but added fact that he's like freaking out because there's this whole other element that he doesn't even know about what do you mean the fact that he acts so like fucking like confused during the whole thing makes it even worse like when you watch it for a second time you're like you're so fucking smug about everything you're like why would I have to do it I'm just a little innocent boy it's actually like you're fucking wrote like you're worse than a fucking rodent you're literally foul disgusting I know it's a fictional character I know he's a fictional character but like just watching him pisses me the fuck off because he acts so innocent during the entire episode he acts so sad and so innocent during the entire episode and then when you find out what he does it just fucking makes me want to slap like I oh if I saw him in the street something horrible would go down like I literally would oh I want to like cheese grater his skin I didn't know that was in me how young would I in the picture for me to oh oh oh oh what a good fucking your heart just drops through this ending it's so fucking it makes you feel so empty and pointless when you watch this end this ending if there's nothing worse than this ending cuz you just feel completely hollowed out like for you you were invested for no fucking reason and fuck you for using this song cuz I love this song I don't like it that they use that but I digress so it's not from my generation so it just seems like really like corny like words cannot describe the horror that fills in your stomach while watching this so glad he didn't get away with that but also the way they set it up makes it so you can't even be like you that's the that's the thing about like mirror no matter if it's a happy ending or if it's not a happy ending you cannot feel good about what you just watched. Nash Land the perfect example the princess is saved you everyone feels like shit at the end of it same thing with this people that did wrong things you cheated on your spouse with a prostitute you were an actual pedophile you were racist and email like you get exposed for these things and it's like good that they got exposed for them but like I don't even feel like I'm supposed to feel like oh yeah like they got like exposed like people who are bad people got exposed for being bad I just feel sick to my stomach after watching it I've never watched this episode and actually felt but like work like I'm glad he got arrested I'm glad that like he didn't just get away with what he did but oh my fucking God it is the most disturbing episodes ever everything about it is just so disturbing from beginning to the end really like watching it looking back on your previous thoughts about the entire episode it just is a face melting ending and that's the only way to describe it it again evokes a lot of different conversations specifically turning into blackmail it goes into a lot of different conversations about the things you're willing to do to keep your secrets and also it dives into punishment what is punishment who deserves to give out punishment and is this punishment justified provokes a really good conversation about it I think that we need to think about punishment and what punishment is justified because if we're not we're just blindly letting people get punished for things that we don't even know if we consider to be justified punishment and this episode follows a very similar a theme to white bear it's watching this person get torn apart get tortured like basically just go through the ringer throughout the entire episode and at the very last end you realize that they most definitely deserved a lot of what happened to them and you're dealing with the most again the most innocent victims ever that they are harming kids shut up and dance is just a fucking whirlwind of an episode I would love to know your thoughts on it because it is just it's it's so much and it's also just I've never really watched something where it made me feel like this at the end like it is very much less is more with this episode they could have made it really crazy and really fast and like really drawn out the like dramatics of it all but it is truly the perfect prime example of less is more they could have made a big reveal of it all and they don't they make it so subtle they make it so quiet that it is even more disturbing it is crazy this episode is so freaking good that again the actors are phenomenal in this episode plot twist you cannot get a better plot twist in black mirror than this episode I'm sorry I think this is the best plot twist episode of black mirror because I don't think anyone watches this and that's what they expected to come out of it I don't think anyone could have predicted to the end of the episode what they started the episode of the end no prior knowledge to black mirror or actually just to this episode I don't think if I watch other black mirror episodes I could have predicted that because I did watch other black mirror episodes before I watch this I did not predict that and the technology in this episode is out super crazy it is really just all about blackmail and the internet like hackers basically and their control over people now it's time for every lover girls favorite black mirror episode this is San Junipero this is possibly everything that is right with black mirror it is unlike any other black mirror episode you'll watch but it is something that sticks with you forever it is just the most gorgeous bright love story ever I'm sorry I will just watch it I should stop talking about it because I'm just gonna I'm just gonna go all over it but let's watch San Junipero this is this is for my girls this is for my lover girls out there and if you don't like San Junipero you can actually go kiss my ass and fucking die you can die in a fucking ditch if you don't like San Junipero and I stand by that I don't care I really don't care yeah and it's opinion people no you can't have your opinion it's not a thing where you can just have an opinion and not like it you'll like it for Christ's sake you will like this goddamn episode I love straight baiting I know that was like a very significant point within the show for her to see the car crash in the game but also I love straight baiting so much there's nothing more than I loved and setting up a straight couple and then it doesn't happen what can I say that's the best thing sorry for killing you the whole six months to live thing sorry my mother's till the end of time this was like a huge hug to me like I don't know when you're watching black mirror and everything is so fucking shitty also I do think this is one of the most well-crafted like visual pieces of black mirror like and I say that because I'm a sucker for really bright lights with it like neon lights within cinematography I think they're one of the most gorgeous things to ever be done and to actually capture that on film that I think is pretty difficult because working with like neon lights is pretty hard but it's so cinematically amazing like when I'm watching it I'm like I need to see this in the theater right now it's so beautiful it's so beautiful you want to get in my car you want to get in my freaking car drop the panties now like I'm not kidding he never slept with a woman before that's not a critique I mean it was fucking awesome black mirror gave one nice episode and it was to lesbians so think about that think about that what that means is that the one nice episode that they gave was to the lesbians that you liked women I like man too equal rights that's crazy that is a crazy thing to say when you're in bed with someone I like men too equal rights like that is like the most insane thing never say love the way they showcase the new era you know that you know when I saw scream referenced in Wagner I died I died and came back to life like that was that was in this episode specifically scream being referenced within San Junipero is me coded like that that was done for me and only freaking for me tell her they don't want a gay daughter it's not natural and so forth they fight she gets in her car runs it off the road and she was 20 40 years back I'm gonna fucking cry she's been quite religious her whole basically her whole life since she was 21 after she came out to her parents and she goes into the San Junipero project and she meets the love for life and a little rally was dying in three months and they have to choose whether they pass over together you don't understand how important this is to me you don't understand how important this is to me Greg seems great but why not someone you know it's not so kind to leave what do you mean marrying you like she already had someone that married her you love her and you want to be with her forever but what he did it was selfish actually oh my god yearning the laughter the love of it the fucking love you just cannot know oh I wonder why she can't know I wonder why she can't know I agree with both sides pause I agree with both sides but also like why would you do such a grand gesture just to leave I'm sorry I'm sorry like I literally grew both sides I understand why Kelly is like a very or I understand why Yorkie has a very like a pinhold view of life because she didn't get to live her life and she's like why would you want to stay here like I didn't even get to live my life and now I'm here but I also understand Kelly's point of view where she's like girl like my daughter died and I don't know where she is and she didn't get this chance but then I also think I'm like well Kelly I mean I wouldn't have done that grand gesture for her if I was just gonna be like you know what I mean I don't know who side would you pick just tears you apart because what would you do what would you do if you were in that situation like I would definitely pass over but that's me because I literally just want more and more and more life and if I could pass over to something like that I definitely would just Sanjay to pair up that was a real thing oh for sure I'm signing up I'm uploading myself to the cloud instantly but I know there's a lot of people who wouldn't so if you are one of the people that wouldn't jump over to Sanjay to pair up why is that because I want to know because I think it's just like of course I would because they say you can exit the game whenever you want to so I would just be like yeah fuck it and she's back in the car baby yeah this is the best episode I'm sorry now that I'm watching it it has to be in my top three I used to not think it was in my top three but now watching it again it has everything you need to make a good black mirror episode because just because it's sweet just because there's a good ending does not mean that the technology and the conversations that the episode provokes are not interesting it is a fascinating conversation about death what would you do in that scenario would you upload yourself to the cloud or would you pass over naturally I think it's a wonderful conversation I think it is an amazing love story summer romance and has it's very emotionally impactful as well like literally made me cry like and I love this episode for that it touches so many parts of you it's sad it's happy it's it's cool I love black mirror I would love to do more videos on black mirror
