 Hey girl. Hey you. Ooh, that's a hot mug, guys. Hey guys, reviewing Supernatural once again with Arrow here doing tall tales. Admittedly I know that you guys have been waiting for a while for this video. This is actually probably the funniest episode of Supernatural yet. It really cemented the idea that Supernatural had a humor edge to it. It cemented that the show could be scary and funny. It also set up the trickster character, Richards Byte Jr., who would go on to be such a much more significant character. However, on the episode itself, though, how it ends with him admittedly was like a what? They didn't touch on him again until Season 3, which admittedly is still one of my favorite episodes in the entire show. This episode, there's a bunch of really weird things happening. A professor takes a swan dive out of a window. A guy gets probed and lady in red dance. Another guy gets chewed up by an alligator in a sewer. Brothers are also getting kind of messed with. Things are happening to them which they think are each other and they're getting mad at each other and Bobby comes and kind of diffuses the situation. This episode, from a writing perspective, is actually a pretty decent one considering it's one of those starting near the end and then reoccurring the events. I actually didn't mind how they did it in this episode because it didn't even really lead up to it. They just showed the professor doing the swan dive and then they started the episode with the brothers at the end of all of their issues and whatnot. I like that because this is something that the show has done quite a bit recently. They say, oh, like a couple hours later. And this is an aspect of storytelling that works like a cold open. That works when you do it significantly less than you should, which the newest seasons have done it so often it just kind of ruined and kind of dried up that whole perspective, that whole narrative aspect. I did enjoy this episode for its humor. I thought that there was a lot of parts that were quite funny. Reiterations of the stories are especially some of the best humor in the show ever did with Sam going, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Or when Sam was hugging that guy as like, precious for this world. As an episode itself though, they spend so much time with the humor that the actual trickster doesn't get that much development. Admittedly though, there is that really good effect where he's eating the food and there's that wide shot and then the women come in. But how they did that was pretty impressive. I don't know exactly how they did it, but considering it's a TV show budget, that was an impressive effect. Tall Tales is actually a very good episode. The standout episode is not a stellar episode, but it is a trademark episode of Supernatural in terms of the humor aspect that it would set up for the future episodes. Season one had Hell House, season two has Tall Tales. So in the end, I'm going to give this episode a 5 out of 7. And now I asked you guys for your comments in that review that I did so far back. So let's see what you guys have to say. Love Tall Tales. It's one of the first really comedic Supernatural episodes that introduces one of the best side characters. I'll admit the first time I watched this episode when Gabriella has almost no reaction to a man splattering on the pavement, I kind of knew it was going to be this guy and that this guy was going to be the bad guy in the end. Too bad poor Gabriella got so poorly botched in season 13. Yes. A shitty way to end the character. And admittedly, as I make the comment, not as much development about the trickster character, like within the first 5 minutes you already know it's him. Such an obvious play. Tall Tales shows a huge part of why the show is held out for so long and that comes with from its sense of humor. Not all the humor jabs are the best in the show. Plus it's interesting how this episode introduced to us to an archangel for the first time. Tall Tales is a 7 out of 7. The alien slow dancing with a frat boy to lady in red. Admittedly that is actually a part that I very much enjoy. It's not a 7 out of 7, but it is one of the funniest. Tall Tales is the trickster's first appearance. Who would have thought that this would be a fan of favorite and become a super important later on and should have stayed dead and totally not come back in season 13? Anyways, this episode is hilarious from the deans interpretation of Sam, the alien dance scene, Dean having too much chocolate, the bar scene, Sam's computer, the Impala, the brothers banter and with each other. And from season 3 to 5, anytime an episode got super weird or wacky, I would always assume the trickster was messing with the brothers, like bedtime stories, the wishing well episode, swap meet, and even monster movie episode, but none of these were the trickster related at all. Actually yeah that's true, the wishing well. The wishing well I always thought was the trickster. Tall Tales is perfect not only for its comedy, but it's the first episode that cemented the brothers' relationship without being melodramatic. Yeah, them just being like brothers to each other, a little bit childish, like really push the childish shit, but yeah, I could see it. Anyways, thanks again for your comments. Next episode is Roat Kilt. This is the one that has Cylon Lady from Battlestar Galactica, which was actually being filmed at the same time, but almost coming to its end at the same time if I'm correct. Anyways guys, I hope you enjoyed this review. If you'd like it and if you wish to subscribe, Aero's probably going to go to bed now. She's like out of frame now. So anyways, thank you guys for watching, see you guys next time. Good luck, we'll see you guys soon.
