Although it’s never confirmed in the show, the book does indeed confirm that some items take longer to pop out of the bottomless pit, and some never come back. Socks never come back. Junk mail almost always does. If something doesn’t come back after 24 hours it never will.

Eric mastered the ability of standing so incredibly still, that he becomes invisible to the eye.

Originally, the crew planned to do an episode where Dipper and Mabel attended Twinstitute, a school for twins, but they couldn't crack it. Bottomless Pit was done instead to makeup for lost production time. At one point, series creator Alex Hirsch planned on having the characters talk in front of a black background for the entire episode. The original ending had the Bottomless Pit lead to an alternate Gravity Falls, where the remainder of the series would have taken place, but Alex couldn’t figure out how to make it work. While having the characters fall out of the pit is admittedly a cop out, Alex felt it was justified given the small-scale nature of the episode. Source: Bottomless Pitt Commentary Track included on the Blu-ray Set.

The fucking noise the bear makes as it drives off killed me. They could have so easily used a stock bear noise, but they went out of their way to record a new one where the bear just sounds so confused and terrified, it adds so much to the moment

The bottomless pit was actually mentioned a few episodes back in the arcade episode with Blendin Blandin and the time travel stuff. When Robby asked where Wendy is, Dipper told Robby that he thought he saw her the bottomless pit and that he should jump in it to find her.

Another joke that comes back from a previous episode is From Irrational Treasure: “I don’t think the one with the bell can read”. Then here: “Wow an author can you teach me how to read”.

I'm not sure why Mabel and Soos' first instinct upon hearing Dipper's voice was bashing him in the head of all things, but it still makes me laugh every time.

My favorite genre of Blind Wave is the guys all talking some random topic while Eric simply spaces out and sings the intro music.

"Is this all there is? That life is some kind of a horrific joke without a punch line. That we're all just biting our time until the sweet release of death?"

Eric whistling to the theme song, now that's cool.

Calvin saying Stan is not what he seems made me think they'd had spoilers for a second but then I remembered the cypher in the title

I knew Honeypants' growling as he drove away would get them.

I love them genuinely trying to explain the bottomless pit

There's a diagram of the bottomless pit in the journal(not shown in the show) after you finish the show you can see it. Essentially the pit discards some things and returns others, it is shaped like an 8 infinity thing with two exits.

There's some actual lore on how this bottomless put works, but you have to get the real life Journal 3 to see how.

“YOU CAN RUN, BUT I’LL STILL BE IN YOUR NIIIGHTMAAAAARES!”

Eric whistling the theme song is my new favourite thing! 😂😂😂

"Whatever that was, it's gone forever!"

If you think about it, this bottomless pit is kinda like a free sensory deprivation tank. Maybe you feel some movement, but you can basically just jump in and relax, I kinda want one.

This was a simple but also funny episode where both Stan, the Twins, and Soos discussing 4 different stories while they continue falling in the Bottomless Pit. In fact, up until the next forthcoming episode in Season 2, this was the first episode at the time that had an episode segment format (even though it was a full-length episode) considering that most animated series including those in the serialized format (e.g. Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Owl House, etc.) usually have full-length episodes while others such as Phineas & Ferb, Amphibia, among others have 2 segments in one episode. On top that, there were many jokes that went way over my head when I first watched "Bottomless Pitt", even the scene with the bear driving off had me laughing. 🤣

I think either in S2 or partway through S1, the ciphers swap to vigenere ciphers so you'll have to find a key in the episode. Imo they're significantly more difficult than the A1Z26, Atbash, and Caesar Ciphers so far

Soos' title reminds me of the amazing titles of Gintama, which include: "Don't Complain About Your Job at Home, Do It Somewhere Else" So Let Me Complain. It's Already Been a Year Since This Anime, Which Began with, "Last of the Samurai. The Days When Our Country Was Called That Are Long Past." A Lot of Things Have Happened Since Then. So I Thought, It Might Be a Good Time to Look Back, but Then Someone Said, "Tsk, a Recap Episode. Isn't That Slacking?" Look It's Hard Work Putting Together an Anime, So Stop Complaining!" ... I'm not kidding, this is a legit title. 😂

Grunkle Stan’s voice change was so funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Gasp* my wish has been granted. Eric is wearing the soos shirt!!

The end is like: I HAVE BEEN FALLING FOR 30 MINUTES!!

I love the cartoon versions of the guys in the beginning. Especially Calvin’s, which looks straight out of the show and exactly like him! They’re all phenomenal tbh, and Aaron also looks like he’s from Brickleberry

Speaking of BoJack Horseman 21:46 , you guys HAVE to react to it if you haven't seen it already. It's one of the deepest shows you'll ever watch. One of my absolute favorites

I mean the fact everything was 'falling' at the same speed means that all the objects in the pit can't be falling or else each object would be moving faster relative to each other due to each of them having different masses therefore they have different terminal velocities. So if they not actually falling in the pit, then the next likely guess is strong wind or low gravity is keeping them in the same place like a ping pong ball being suspended in the air using a blow dryer for example. But if that was the case, then why do they exit out the bottom side instead of the top side. Also the fact that the time doesn't pass between them entering and exiting must mean it's a worm hole or something of the sorts. Interesting thought experiment though

Season 2 is when the cyptograms get more juicy and interesting

"Ballway" was a joke name on Bally Pinball games; Bally was also connected to Midway games (they made NBA Jam, Revolution X, Mortal Kombat, and other classics), so they combined the names as "Ballway".

Did you guys watch The Daily Show when Jon Stewart was hosting? Kristen Schaal (Mabel) was one of the special correspondents, so she was on occasionally. And that's (probably partly) why Gravity Falls has some other TDS alums doing voices too. (Well, at the time GF was airing, they weren't alums, they were all still on the show.) Like, John Oliver as Wax Sherlock Holmes in ep 3. And there's another guest voice from TDS later, but we won't say any more about that for now...

Stan is not what he seems

the story telling reminds me of anathology of interest from futurama 8:44 bear scream and the calvin scream

In the official Gravity Falls Journal 3, it says that the Bottomless Pit is really an infinite wormhole loop, in the shape of the infinity sign, in which there are two holes. One on the top where they fell in and came out, and one at the bottom, which I don’t know where it goes.

can’t wait for them to react to 2x5 I just know they going to catch on what this specific episode predicted, it stills blows my mind

8:17 it always makes me laugh whenever they do the thing with the eyes

Love the footbot reference here in the story Stan is making!

Fives more episodes boys!!!

season 1 seems really silly and ridiculous but season 2 gets INTENSE

Last year, I saw this episode with my cousins. During the scene where Dipper is seen spinning in the background, we made the obligatory Among Us reference.

I think there are also all sorts of hints in the diary that the bottomless pit leads to another universe

I just love how Eric never gives a damn about the conversations they have when the opening theme song is playing because he's too busy whistling along😂😂

When I was little I watched every Gravity Falls episode multiple times, but this one I only watched once (because I guess it only came on tv once while I was looking at Disney XD ig). Anyways I COMPLETELY forgot about the bear yelling, and that part was hilarious and so funny whenever I was watching this reaction

I'm so glad my bf was visiting to watch this reaction with me, he loves this show and your reactions make it even better!

If any of their Patreon contributors will see this comment, tell them to watch shorts after season 1

Usually I skip reactions to this episode but you guys are my favorite reactors.

8:16 to drive 8:45 to the hospital

I love to see that Eric is whisteling thru the intro aswell :D always did it too when i watched Gravatiy Falls

Great reaction! This is a fun episode!

Loved this episode so much and happy you all liked it

You know I never realised until recently but the whispers at the end of the theme music actually say things about the episode or the future

“Next up: Footbot Two, Grunckle’s Grevenge”

Man, I have never once considered what flat earthers think is on the other side of the flat earth. I have to look into this now 😂

*Come hear, follow me into this dark dangerous ally!* Gee thanks Old Man McGucket, that doesn't sound vaguely ominous to the children.👍

I understand Rick. We did it with chicken because ours was in a skating rink. The pooped on numbers get money.

The wormhole is shaped like an eight with entrances/exits at both ends. Like a dollar sign $ but closed. Some stuff does the full eight and goes back out on top, some stuff does a half eight and ends up in other Dimensions

That bottomless pit was made by Dr Strange and Loki once fell into it xD

That intro was the most random thing in the world, but I loved it

My favorite episode 😚✨

"I have been falling for 30 minutes!"

YES! The Soos and Flannel shirt! Let's GO!

You all gotta watch and react to "My Name", it's a Korean show on netflix. It's pretty awesome

The cartoon Aaron in the intro looks like such a boss.

Next episode This is the first kiss of ... well of two characters

9:07 HE SAID IT. HE SAID THE THING

Did anybody else notice the guy in the bar wearing the red shirt at 4:34 is the pool guy from the merman episode?? All these years and I never noticed until now!

This is one of my fav episodes lmao

Sorry late amazing video

"Nothing should be bottomless" *Space*

You guys would make good animators. You're Gravity Falls personas are terrific.

stares blankly into the camera

Ooh I’ve never been this early

It's Mabel's Destiny!

If I was a bit younger I would throw my homework in it.

4 weeks boys and girls. 4 weeks till the dreamscapes

Cowpie Bingo! Its a great fund raiser at town fairs and county fairs in Ohio and I am certain other states.

1:59 As I'm having a good noodles soup high as a kite 😅

There is a handbook that explains the bottomless pit and many other things you should look into it

Any one else just waiting for bill cipher to be introduced? Episode 18

Mabel's voice was a regular in 30 Rock

Five more episodes and the real saga will begin

I love how how they focus on the most meaningless parts of the episode insisted of secretive parts

Y’all know that y’all can look up the secrets

If Blind Wave can watch these shows then I hope they can watch these Transformers Prime, Swat Kats, Gargoyles, Batman The Animated Series and Super Monkey Team Hyper Force Go?

I have seen the cow thing with chickens was very cool (I didn't win (sad))

i wish i could get a seeing eye bear for my mom... but sadly our insurance may not cover it.

Not sure what Rick is on about. "Return to Butt Island" never came to fruition. It was literally only in that one episode

I really hope some day maybe when more of the show is out, But the Legends of Vox machina series by Critical role, the first 3 episodes came out and its scratches high fantasy itches you have for shows

If it's a wormhole maybe it depends on when it goes in.

I think Alex Hirsch said how the bottomless pit works has he? I remember something spoilery. Not sure

I hope they also do the shorts

This is one of my favorite episodes!

Ayyy

You know this is my favorite episode of Gravity Falls

9:07 S2E11 foreshadowing from Calvin??!

yall should watch regular show, goated show.

I figured it out, how to solve the number code, each number represents a letter in the alphabet, A = 1, B =2 etcetera. I'm not telling you so you go and solve the message 😉 It's not a spoiler if you were wondering

The numbers! What do they mean? Where are they broadcasting from?

Very shiny teeth
