“67 years have gone by” ABSOLUTELY SENT ME INTO ORBIT

Dylan looking at betty's father and just knowing he's a bad man without knowing a full season is a about him because he's a serial killer is amazing

Dylan: ‘I think I’m missing something big’ Also Dylan: watches only the very first and last episode of a show

the way he literally called Hal Cooper being a murderer in the first few minutes of the episode

there's genuinely nothing funnier than the fact that fans were at eachother's throats for 7 seasons over which couples end up together only for the writers to be like 'fuck it all of them are together, all four. live with it.'

Dylan doing “First and Last” with Riverdale is insane. Him not knowing the absolute crazy story lines that every season threw at us for no reason and just thinking the show was NORMAL is killing me.

Dylan i know this is hard and time consuming but i'd literally PAY to see you react to the whole show 😭

Dylan getting Jughead’s name wrong every time was absolutely killing me 😂 I think I actually choked when he said “Drughead?!”

Honestly this is less confusing than watching the whole show

I need Dylan’s reaction to the first and last episode of EVERY SEASON of Riverdale. He needs to experience the chaos!

so sad he didn't see the iconic "in case you haven't noticed: i'm weird. i'm a weirdo. i don't fit i and i don't wanna fit in" scene :((

That teacher was 100% grooming archie. It wasn’t a relationship. She was abusing him. The “we shouldn’t be alone together” was classic grooming. Making him think them together was on him…

Betty: “I’m not Polly.” Dylan: “Oh so she’s into more traditional relationships” The rest of us: IS SHE THOUGH?!?

The fact that Dylan was happy with the finale of one of the most UNHINGED tv shows out there… while simultaneously ripping apart NORMAL shows has me 💀

When he made the “poly” joke my immediate thought was “oh he has no idea what’s coming” LMAO

Oh the way I would KILL to see the reactions of Dylan finding out the ACTUAL plotlines of the seasons between the first and final episode. I need to see that because hunny, this show was literally anything BUT normal.

dylan just assuming that this finale made sense in the context of the show and being really happy with how everything ended is so hilarious

I love how we all collectively knew this video was eventually coming 😂

“If you tell me in the afterlife I gotta be a service worker, Im searching for immortality” best line of the whole video 😂

you missed the school dealing with a drug called jingle jangle, a plantation healing cult with like maybe witches or maybe it's just hallucinations, a crossover with the Sabrina the Teenage Witch reboot, them all getting superpowers from an explosion, Jughead exploring the multiverse almost completely on accident, Archie getting mauled by a bear, dopplegangers of Reggie facing off in a duel, Cheryl becoming the fucking Phoenix from X-men, them all time-traveling back to the 50s to reset the multiverse, a separate universe where witchcraft is real (keep in mind, this is technically separate from the original universe) that half a season takes place in, Betty having like a Dark alter ego that's somehow connected to the fact she's genetically predisposed to be a serial killer, a Mind controlling british dude with almost no clear motivations at all, a five year time jump to account for the actors aging (despite the fact that due to time travel, they're all in high school again in the final season), the showrunners not wanting to show the Archie/Jughead kiss in the polycule reveal during the finale cause "that would be too hot for tv", a tickle fetish movie making subplot, canonical gaurdian angels, and that one episode where Betty had a nest of spiders growing in her hair. to say you missed a lot would be an understatement

I think they made the poly relationship because the writers couldn’t decide who should be with who so they just made them all be together 😂

The way he clocked Betty's dad as a murderer straight away is actually hilarious

I'm just realizing Dylan hasn't done a First and Last of Gilmore Girls and behalf of all the fall girlies, I think we need it.

Someone please tell Dylan that reason the finale is weird is because it’s a parody of the 1938 play Our Town by Thornton Wilder lol (Jughead is the narrator and Betty is Emily). In the final act of Our Town, Emily has just passed away and she asks the narrator to take her back one last time to the town. Some of the Riverdale dialogue is the exact same or very similar to Our Town. I played Emily in my high school’s performance and I this was all too familiar 😂

I am jealous THIS is the experience he walks away from riverdale with. If this whole series was an “until I hate myself” video he would be singing a different toon. And by singing I mean screaming into a pillow, breaking his computer and staring into the abyss 😂

Lili Reinhart genuinely has so much talent, can't wait to see her in actual good shows and movies

Not only the fact that he’s proven the show is better if you just watch the first couple episodes and the last one or two, but the CONSTANT references to a poly relationship look like something that they actually led to instead of a “fuck it, why not” mention

I personally feel like Dylan really really really REALLY should do a first and last of Superstore. Its so perfect for this type of content!

Dylan looking at Betty‘s father and saying he looks guilty as hell.. little did he know…🤭 Edit: I stopped watching Riverdale after season 4 and I‘m probably more confused about the ending than Dylan himself is lmao

"jason wouldn't want us to spend the year mourning jason would want us to spend the year evening" LMAOOOO im ashamed of myself for laughing out loud at this

The fact that he predicted who black hood is was mind blowing

Funny how you didn’t catch Cheryl’s brothers name change and he came back to life a different person 😂😂😂

I think this is the rare case where you can enjoy the last episode more if you haven't seen the road to it. Because you will assume that things you don't fully understand had some plausible explanation before, that a string of events that somewhat follows cause and effect led there. And with most shows you would be right to assume that because that is how capable writers build their stories. But this is Riverdale.

The whole Cheryl having Jason in her basement was crazy. She had him like stuffed or something and would wheel him round in a wheelchair😭

I've watched the entire show, start to finish. I hadn't caught up on the final season until I saw you post this... and then I binged it. God, that last episode actually made me cry. The final season might have been my favourite because it was balls to the walls and held no prisoners, and that ending was just such a loving send off. But I'll never let go of Archie fighting a bear while running away from juvie. God, what a show.

the silence after he find out Cheryl kept jason's body in a cellar.... yeah it was a dark time for our girl😭💀

dylan BASICALLY predicting the poly relationship drop 9 minutes in genuinely had me up and pacing

Dylans fear of incest after 17 again is hilarious😂

Him calling it a poly relationship in episode one shows it was foreshadowing the whole time😂😂🤣😂

2:03 You were technically 50% correct about them being incestuous since Jason and Polly had children together and they are 3rd cousins

So much happened between Season 1 and Season 7 that people who actually stuck with it don’t know wtf happened so this is truly jumping into the deep end with sharks who have the serial killer gene

I love that Dylan doesn’t know what happened in between the first and last episode. Like is you JUST watched this, this seems like a semi normal show. Like I think it would be so funny to have Dylan read a summary of what happens in between, bro would be confused as hell.

I started watching this show when I was in the 6th grade. Now, I'm in 11th. I'm sitting here sobbing because of how much time has passed and THIS is the ending they presented us.

I love how Dylan is like freaking out the one mention of the serial killer. 😂 Dylan, the whole show had crazy serial killers, like every season. It became so unhinged I just continued watching it till the end. This is why I loved Riverdale I believe. It was a cool reaction video. ☺️

Dylan has aged like fine wine. Aged into a wonderful 23 year old.

not Dylan looking at Betty's dad for a split second and already knowing he's a serial killer💀

I have never watched Riverdale, but the first episode and last episode reminds me so much of "Our Town," a play written by Thornton Wilder, mainly the 1 Act and 3rd Act. The last episode especially gives me "Our Town" last/3rd Act vibes, because the main character in the play is dead (there is a time jump between the 2nd and 3rd Act) and the narrator (of the play) takes her back to a favorite memory and then the ghost from the other people in town take about what happened to them and their families and the narrator talks about how the town has changed/has changed.

"Jason wouldn't want us to spend the year mourning" He would like us to spend the year evening Peak comedy. Brilliant. Me? On the floor laughing.

I knew a girl in high school who wrote her AP Capstone project on Riverdale. When I asked her to explain her topic to me she said, "I'm going to sound insane, but I'm right." She then started talking about how Riverdale was really about a polycule and all these things I don't remember, but when I heard about how the show ended, I could do nothing but think about her. I wonder how girlie is feeling. Probably extremely powerful, I know I would.

Betty - "Mom, I'm not Polly." Dylan - "OK, she's into more traditional relationships." Me - "oh my god" Edit: yeah, Dylan learning about the "quad" did not disappoint.

The way he was saying 'affair' repeatedly almost killed me 😭

I need 7 seperate videos of Dylan watching each season

This is so funny actually. Perfect show to do this. Almost wished he would do first and last of each season bc is equally if not more confusing lol

Lmao for anyone confused, Jughead's girlfriend is an angel, shes able to time travel, she sent Riverdale back to the 40s to fix the present timeline (or something, idk) because everyone got powers, Cheryl became a witch, put a curse on Riverdale and some other stuff 🤷🏾‍♀️ also Veronica somehow owned a bar/strip club while being a teenager. Betty's dad is a serial killer with "serial killer genes" Betty's mom and sister joined a religious cult that set up in an insane asylum, ran by a dude who made his own rocket to go to the moon. Edited after: when everyone had superpowers, Archie had super strength and stopped a meteor with his abs 👍🏾 I think.

"DougHead?... DOUGHEAD! Mughead?" 😂😂😂

literally never seen a single episode of this show, but watching the last few minutes of the finale, i almost cried.

Basically what you missed is, the shenanigans ended with cheryl turned discount scarlet witch and the apocalypse in season 6. Then in season 7 all the characters got magically transported to the fifties, and the last season was a mostly chill teen drama, in the fifties.

Honestly I’d love to get an extended version of this video where Dylan watch the last ep of every season so he can experience at least some of the craziness we had to endure😂

My favorite part of the final episode is Cheryl and Toni. The fact that they were together since season 2. Their relationship when through so much but they still ended up on top. A happy little gay couple who, through Toni’s photography and Cheryl’s painting, realized they could make a life together celebrating art, eachother, and their son ❤

One last thing to add, the finale of Riverdale is more or less taking inspiration from the 1938 Thorton Wilder play "Our Town", specifically Act 3 of that play--where the female protagonist of that play on her deathbed gets the opportunity to re-live any one day of her life with a supernatural tour guide by way of New England stage manager accompanying her as she does. The series outright prepares you for such an ending by name-dropping Our Town a few times in Season 7. So it's actively invoking the reference. And it's not the first time they do that with a season (name drop inspirations for the season they're writing--the problem is that often they don't do well taking inspiration from those influences... this is one of the cases where they did actually rather well).

I love how the finale encapsulates like 1% of the total chaos that went down in this series lmao

Dylan doing a side by side of himself from years ago to now is living proof that facial hair and hair style on a man can take him from a 5/10 to a 10/10.

that first episode is so nostalgic now😭

you should do this for shameless, skipping 12 seasons and 10 years worth of plot and character development is insane

I burst out laughing at the "67 years have gone by" and had the exact same expression as Dylan because whAT THE FUCK that caught me so off guard, even when I was bracing myself to watch the finale while out of the loop 😭😭

The fact that he clocked Betty's dad being a murderer in 2 seconds is so funny

The way dylan guessed the villian for the 2nd season only like 2 minutes into the show is crazy

My experience huh? Ok. Started watching because my cousin bullied me to. I loved it. Seasons 1&2 were just amazing, 15 year old me absolutely LOVED everything about it. Then season 3 started getting a little sus but nevertheless, I made it till season 5. Ever since it aired, I have not been able to get through episode 15 (or something like that). But like physically. I am not kidding. But still followed everything through Instagram. Until today. I got home from work and happened to stumble upon this masterpiece of a video. I think what I loved most about this was that I got to know how the show ended without actually having to put myself through the unhingedness of it. So thanks I guess

I believe Riverdale creators just have 2 dartboards, one with the names of the characters, one with the most fever dream wacky scenarios and they just play darts every time they brainstorm a new story line

Dylan’s face after “67 years have gone by” 😂😂

I remember my friend in middle school even had a backpack of Riverdale now we’re seniors. We don’t talk anymore but it’s all the girl could talk about and dance. I dropped this show and never looked back getting through the crazy plot holes of every season is gets really got me. I think I dropped it by season 5

19:35 I’m ngl i was someone that thought riverdale was a joke after season two or three, and I watched just to laugh at it, but that last episode actually made me cry

Don’t worry Dylan, Cheryl only kept HIS BODY down in a cellar. I think she was talking to it like it was alive still?

I have to say, I love watching Dylan have a mental breakdown because of Riverdale. but I wish he knew about all the other UNHINGED things that went on in previous seasons that are not mentioned in this last episode. Like the Mothman, Cheryl being a literal bootleg Scarlet Witch, the organ-harvesting cult, Betty's dad being a serial killer, the bootleg DND game that actually ends up in a weird demon killer. that would be so fun to watch hahaha

I was so busy lately and couldn’t enjoys Dylan’s masterpieces and I’m so happy I now have time to watch this episode 🎉 7 minutes in and my mood is way up there ✨

this is such an interesting point of view from oe of the rare people that Adores riverdale. i'm glad you enjoyed the finale! riverdale's storyline is very central to time bending and parallel universes in the later seasons, if youre interested in watching another truly crazy episode i highly recommend episode 100 (the jughead paradox) it is Insane and honestly one of my favourite episodes of tv. in my opinion the more insane riverdale gets, the better it is and there are also many interesting meta narratives throughout the show about the dangers of capitalism & gentrification, and also about these teenagers being stuck in the neverending cycle of highschool and being intrinsically tied to their hometown even continuing into the afterlife. this show is so batshit insane you can never predict an episode and i love it so much

27:03 Dylan replying "Thanks man" to Jughead's "have a good night" was so cute

a lot of people were disappointed with the finale because betty and archie were originally engaged in the present timeline, but then they sent them back in time, erased all their memories and they never mentioned it again. only for them to not end up together. it was incredibly disappointing and frustrating season. the finale wasn’t even saying goodbye to the real versions of themselves.

Dylan conplimenting the finale without watching the show is so fucking funny. The finale is definitely the most bonkers shit the writers decided to do

I stopped watching the show like 2.5 seasons ago, but had to finish it once you uploaded this first and last. So worth it 😂

Dylan screaming "affair, affair!" over and over for many minutes straight is not something I expected to hear today

I genuinely burst out laughing when Dylan pulled out the marbles again. He's really making the most of those 7 dollars 😭😭

Just yesterday I was cracking up at "This story is about a town, a small town, and the people who live in the town." 1:35 And today, one of my students' essay wrote, "Once upon a time, in a small town named Sunny Town, lived a small family."

23:33 i sure do! okay so basically so basically at the end of episode 1 you see jason's corpse, jason ended up getting buried by some cult but (she was his twin) cheryl decided to take him home, and she kept him in the basement and went down and hanged out with him everyday, kinda sweet but creepy. he was murdered by his father, clifford blossom, after finding out about his dad's drug trafficking business. "It was not until weeks later that Jason's body was found by Kevin Keller and Moose Mason on the river shore, with a gunshot in his head. Following Jason's autopsy, the local corner discovered that he was subjected to animal scavenging, ligature marks, and signs of him being frozen." google says. turns out there was a video tape that showed jason tied up in a backroom and his father shooting him in the head. ofc i've never watched the show, only a few random episodes bc it was on tv bc my sister was watching it, i did some research on google and i just summed it up if it is inaccurate, im sorry and feel free to correct me!

honestly it's sad that we won't see dylan react to betty's cult, The epic highs and lows of high school football, archie fighting a bear (and winning), floating babies, The many, many musical numbers, endless amount of twins/siblings of everyone in the show, everyone getting superpowers?, all the rituals and sacrifices, cheryl stopping a comet from destroying the world....

Dylan talking about Betty’s parents: “Why is it the parents have the worst plot lines?” Oh Dylan you have no idea…

Dylan needs to watch first and last of every seasons of Riverdale to understand how insane this tv show is😂

I’m CRYING, bahahaha! 😂 So happy for you, Dylan, that you had this lovely, wholesome experience while the rest of us have been THROUGH IT for seven season, lmfao. So sad that you don’t like my girl, Cheryl, tho. You would like her a LOT more if you’d seen her whole arc. ❤

I loved the first couple seasons of Riverdale, but then it got really weird when they started to add in magic and random musicals... So I stopped watching it😭

I want him to read a list of the craziest stuff that happened on the show so bad. This is by far the wildest series I’ve ever watched.

I've been waiting. For this marble joke. And it hit. SO HARD!! Thanks for making my day again, Dylan

I stopped watching around season 3, but the things i heard... I would watch the recaps of seasons and it was just whiplash every time. There was always something absolutely insane thrown in.

Dylan’s face when he made the joke about the actor being 30 and saying you can’t lie about your age that much dawg 😂😂😂😂

Watching dylan constantly try to get his moneys worth by making callbacks to the marbles has given me the urge to buy marbles too

17:25 was my exact reaction watching that scene.

"67 years have gone by, teenagers became adults" that's some long ass puberty you got there, mate

The irony that this show wasn't cancelled. They decided season 7 was the last, and wrote it in mind. Arguably was one of the top 3 seasons of the series imo.

Dylan catching that Mr Cooper was a murderer literally the second he saw him gave me literal chills. Dylan. Who are you.

Dylan your videos always cheer me up!!!🎉

Dylan having the exact same reactions as when he watched it the first time is peak comedy
