At 6:43 the best part is, in an interview the writers said that the line was originally "blind the child". It's hilarious that Disney didn't allow them to say blind the child but allowed burn the child 😂

Every time I finish one of these reactions, I immediately want another; this show is gold.

Two things that always can be expected with reactions to this episode: 1) The prediction of Mermando being a Merman before he reveals it 2) The concern about the poor boy in solitary. "WHAT DID HE DO???"

Each Saturday, we get closer and closer to meeting _him_

"Ah yes... Burn the child" my favorite Stan's quote.

This is one of the funniest episodes in the entire series. Oddly nothing too special about it, it just hits its jokes so well.

0:43 You guys should clip that audio for a sound effect, that scream was great.

Pool Jail... It's such a great moment in the show. This show is just so fantastic.

I don't know the crime committed by the pool boy but when asked about the boy's fate, Alex Hirsch said that "He found a pool skewer he can operate the nearby vending machine with. Also he has a crush on the girl in a pool safety sign."

In every public pool there’s always that one “adhesive medical strips” floating around.

There WERE a lot of people trying to solve the secret puzzles.

It’s pretty awesome to see all of them in Soos shirts. 😁

4 more episodes boys and girls, 4 more episodes

"So he is a mermaid" "maybe it's a boner" Fucking Rick always making me burst out laughing ahahahahahahha

Mr Pool Check is the most terrifying random civilian I've ever seen

4 more Episodes until the Cipher

The buttisland one was episode 2. Where they went to that island. The code for episode 2 is “next time return to buttisland” episode 3 has nothing to do with buttisland

Fun fact: the voice of Mermando was Matt Chapman, one half of the Brothers Chaps who created Homestar Runner. Matt provided the voices for all the characters in Homestar, and you can hear a little Strong Bad at 11:21. Matt Chapman was also one of the writers for Gravity Falls. He voiced several characters, a couple of which are still to come. I never see this brought up in comments about this episode, and it makes me feel old. Homestar Runner was a huge part of my teen years, and now it's virtually unheard of :-\

As a spanish speaker, y'all trying to say patos was the most entertaining part of this entire episode.

I love how they called both Wendy being the life guard and Mermando being a merman AND even a free willy reference!

This episode sticks out in my mind as the episode that made me love the show. Poor pool kid

YES this episode is so jam-packed with jokes and I love it. Golf Wars and this are probably the peak when it comes to jokes.

This react turned into the ethics of pool peeing despite them never mentioning it in the episode lol

imho this is one of the funniest episodes of the entire series. Yes, there isn't any focus on lore, but the laugh per minute ratio is soooooo damn high.

Calvin was really in a screaming mood this reaction. Jesus

im so excited for y'all to watch this show. One of those "kid shows" that is really a great animated series with serious lessons to be learned. not particularly in this ep but in general

6:42 Hearing Grunkle Stan saying that is weirdly satisfying…

I'm not surprised how most of their discussion is about peeing in the pool 🤣

This is probably my favorite episode, the jokes were so random and funny

You all look like camp counselors with those matching shirts, I love it! XD

''oh they're talking kinda quiet in the beginning, i better up the volume--"

5:11 Was comedy gold.

I cant wait for them to get to the plot heavy episodes, but at the end of the day every episode of this series is amazing

The translation would be: larga vida a los patos (de la piscina). At least in Castellano (Spanish from Spain)

Every time I see Mermando, I wish for more Strong Bad. I’m just glad the Chapmans still make the occasional Homestar Runner animation on the side.

Maybe he put the boss hand on the water filter and it was cut off so he put the kid into the water filter as punishment and he was forgotten

Reliving all these awkward Dipper crush moments, it really makes me glad that the show **SPOILER** . . . . . addresses it right at the start of season 2, and makes it less awkward by getting it out in the open.

My dad had a bad experience once in a pool, we went swimming when we were on holiday. And my dad had a turd floating by just a few centimetres from his face. He never went into any pool again afterwards.

I don't know which part I like more. These legends watching one my childhood shows, or the fact that they all have matching shirts for it too!!!

before you guys start the second season (i know you’re ahead on Patreon) you should watch and react to the Gravity Falls shorts. watching them inbetween seasons is a good way to do it. there are no spoilers for the second season because they were made before it

Originally, Will Forte voiced Mermando but he was recast because Alex Hirsch, series creator and voice of Grunkle Stan, thought that his voice was too high. The role ultimately went to series writer Matt Chapman. Believe it or not, Matt almost played Grunkle Stan but Alex was concerned that his voice was too similar to Strong Bad from Homestar Runner. In retrospect, Alex admits that Matt would've been a better choice for the role and that his concerns were invalid since Seth MacFarlene gets away with reusing voices on Family Guy. Outside of Mermando, Matt Chapman voices an array of characters that Blindwave has yet to meet including: - The Video Game Announcer in Fight Fighters - Soos' Abuelita - Sev'ral Timez Band Members - The Puppeteer in Sock Opera - The Hand Witch and Hiker in Little Gift Shop of Horrors - Marius von Fundshauser in Northwest Mansion Mystery Source: Commentary Tracks for Deep End and Little Gift Shop of Horrors.

I've peed in a pool one time as a kid. I was going to wait for my mom to take me but she was being too slow about it so I just peed and told her never mind.

Loving the matching shirts

That squad drip though. 💯

The first episode I ever saw, after randomly coming across one of the Dippers Guide to the Unexplained, on Disney DX. My wife agreed that we should record it, and we both consider this one of our all time favorite shows.

Well congratulations, guys, I am never going to go to a public pool ever again.

A dorky kid crushing on an older attractive life guard named Wendy? Sandlot reference anyone? Lol

I love how you all enjoy the comedy of this show and how vocally you show this

Reminds me of this summer in Oregon when it reached 115 degrees.

0:44 Damnit Calvin, you scared my cat!

If I ever peed in the pool, it would have been when I was too young to remember. If I had to use the restroom, I'd get out and go to the actual restroom.

Ah watching your reactions is so good and hilarious! Makes my day better

Cant wait for yall to watch the last few episodes of this season

This is my favourite episode of season 1

I can’t wait for the next episode! There’s a certain scene I’m know you’ll be shocked to see.

The beginning where the animal catches fire, reminds me of the first ep of Camp Camp! Gosh I wish they would watch that! XD Maybe one day!

Hilariously Mermen were brought up in an earlier episode with the Manataur. 😆 From the sound of it Manataurs hate the Mermen as much as Dwarves hate the Elves from LOTR, because they're the only ones they called "losers" out of the mythical creatures they named. 😆

love the shirts guys🤘

Lifeguard man feels more like a Venture Bros character

Getting closer and closer to The Episode

*The Rubber duckies Revolution is at hand!*

I have never committed such an act

Yesterday. I peed in the pool yesterday. In my defense, it was an indoor pool and the pool bathroom was closed for cleaning. They brought this on themselves.

the collectively disgusted faces at 3:57 cracked me up.

With every episode we get closer

when Aaron started singing 'Message in a bottle' right when I thought it 😂

Hi guys!🤗 I am really happy that you're enjoying the show! 🌈 Btw i've pied in the pool when i was a kid! And also it's one of the main reasons why i only go to the beach now!😋❤

“ I actually have shit in a pool” Me: yeah I’m gonna put my salsa down for this next part

Calvin with the perfect home alone Marv scream. I never thought I’d see it again.

Looking great today kings 👑

Lol! Never thought about the finger thing in the fake hand

It’s weird how much stuff you remember from shows you watched as a kid while simultaneously not remembering watching the show

I love the Wendy Peppercorn Sandlot reference lmao

It's coming guys can't wait for them to react to ep 20

Dang this is fun! So many memories 😄

mermando rlly out here pulling both the pines twins lol

4 more weeks boys!

Cant wait for season 2

7:24 Hey, it's that one guy's wife.

Questions the question mark... x4? 😁

The guys looks like a semi-professional paintball team, if that’s a thing

The filter kid!🤣

Farmers have to run heaters for pigs in the winter, especially if there are babies

I love this Intro ❤!

This is my favorite episode of this show 😁

Love this episode 😂

The lesson of the episode, "Don't poop in the pool'

There's one in the beginning theme song! A cipher

Poolchek always reminded me of ren and stimpy too.

Nice shirts!

Where us this pool poll? I will vote an emphatic no.

I find this episode to be one of the funniest.

My god your all wearing Soos' shirts! You truly are now Gravity Falls fans.

DID RICK JUST MENTION THE RUNDOWN, WTH. THE MOVIE WITH THE ROCK 🤣🤣 I know what he’s referring to as well

That coach is unhinged

funny to see you guys trying to speak spanish, i now imagine how i sound speaking english xD

So close!!

Wait wait wait. You guys are doing a Gravity Falls reaction series?! That's actually awesome. Side note, what would you think of a Star vs the Forces of Evil series....?

The question shirts make me jealous
