A nice little implication in this episode is that the laptop never actually locked Dipper out after too many failed password attempts. He'd been trying for about a week straight and there were no problems, yet on the night when he hadn't gotten any sleep and was incredibly tired, that's when it finally locks him out? More than likely Dipper had fallen asleep and Bill manipulated the dream to make him think it was locking him out.

I'll be honest, I've watched this show a few times and I never noticed that the agents bugged the Shack.

Not a spoiler, just some insight from Mabel on Bipper from the real life journal- So, Mabel wrote a whole page about Bipper. She said that it was the first time she saw Dipper smiling with all his teeth to the gums, and that it terrified her. When they were driving home after the show, she found a note written by Bill about his plan to destroy the journal and then jump from the water tower while in Dipper's body. Messed her up for a while

I love how genuinely confused bill sounds when Mabel proposes the idea of self sacrifice, "who would actively hurt themselves just to make someone else feel better?"

The laptop needs a password Calvin instantly: "McGucket" Wow...

“That was hilarious and scary” the whole show described in one sentence.

Aarons excitement for finding the key is so wholesome

How can you when you DON’T EXIIIIIIST Bipper was terrifying

That biscotti joke.

14:03 I am so glad you noticed that they bugged the mystery shack. These little details reward the experience when you decide to look for more/decipher the codes

*The moral of this story:* DON’T make deals with Devil Doritos and DON’T try impressing everyone you meet, especially puppeteers.

Not only did the agents bug the shack which you can see in between the floors when Dipper’s spirit moves through them, but they also appear/have appeared in many episodes in the background in the same way that you could see Blendin Blandin in the background of many episodes (the episodes that he time traveled to in order to fix Dipper and Mabel’s time anomalies) before we got our first official introduction to him in “The Time Traveler’s Pig”. There is a lot of strong continuity and easter eggs sprinkled throughout all the different episodes that you definitely have to rewatch the show to catch them all!

I’m sorry “you drive a biscotti” was top tier, so many layers

No puppet strings can hold me down So patiently I watch this town Abnormal soon will be the norm Enjoy the calm before the storm

Missed a word for the rhyme there, Aaron! "No puppet strings can hold me down So patiently I watch this *town* Abnormal soon will be the norm Enjoy the calm before the storm"

Man the look of horror on Aaron's gace on the screaming head is fantatic.

*But how can you stop me,* *I F Y O U D O N T E X I S T* "Pain is HILARIOUS!!!"

This episode blew my mind multiple times as a kid. First just seeing Bill's shadow in episode 4 of the season completely suprised me, then his 2 dream sequences with Dipper and the twist of his deal had me audibly gasping. Then the confrontation between Mabel and Bipper where she finally sacrifises for Dipper was a great narrative arc. All in all a brilliant episode. Now I'm waiting to see you get to episode 7.

This is my favorite Gravity Falls episode! Bill is just so unhinged, it's such a wild ride to watch

The strings line makes me think Pinocchio. " I've gotten no strings, to hold me down, to make me fret, to make me frown, I had strings, but now I'm free, There are no strings on me." Which in Bill's case is terrifying.

That sticky note laptop password thing seems to be universal, a few years ago there was a huge scandal bc some major Polish politicians including I think the prime minister had kept government data secured like THAT 😂

im so happy they caught the government bug

Regarding the puppet show Jason Ritter (Dipper), Kristen Schaal (Mabel), and Alex Hirsch (Stan and McGucket) did at the end, how do we know Alex doesn’t have a hidden talent to do Stan and McGucket laugh simultaneously and it’s not just audio editing?

Such an enjoyable and humorous episode where not only does it touch on Dipper and Mabel's relationship as siblings, buy also the return of the Dorito shaped One Eyed demon, Bill Cipher who is still plotting to take over Gravity Falls and taking over the universe. Not to mention his power on possessing people when he took over Dipper's body which shows how dangerous of a character he is to our heroes including Dipper and Mabel. Finally, I did enjoy the Post credit scene where it satirized the Muppet Show and you had puppet versions of Grunkle Stan and Old Man McGucket in the Statler and Waldorf role.

Oh man, I remember when this episode came out. Let's just say that "bipper" gained a lot of fangirls that day

Oh Bill Honored the deal. He said he'd crack this thing up and he cracks it up

Idk if they know this yet but someone should tell them it’s not a spoiler just a cool fact and explains the design of the back ground but bill has a power to see through images of himself I don’t remember if it was a fact in a episode or book fact but that’s how bill knows stuff cause it’s more about the triangle itself then the eye

Not sure it’s a spoiler yet about the way Bill Works He can only haunt the dreams which is why they wake up after they encounter them.

Ok guys, we’re getting to a point in the show where you do NOT read upcoming episode titles.

Honestly with this show i think i like the discussions more than reactions 😂 i love all the decyphering

I love how Bill is so well written, that even in his SECOND appearance, there's a sense of terror behind his jokes

This is an amazing episode. Both the plot of Mabel and a stupid guy who does not deserve it and Bill is back !!!! Bill the scariest and strongest demon ever defeated by 12 year old kids once with kittens and this time with sock puppets

As someone who has watched this show a bit too much because I'm avidly trying to catch all of the Easter Eggs, I have never saw the Agents bug in the Mystery Shack.

Yes!!! I've been waiting to see you guys watch this one. Bill's disregard and abuse of Dipper's body was so unsettling. Talk about evil

Bill appears to Dipper when he’s asleep, he always yawns right after Bill appears

Bill's Laugh along with many others like Mark Hamill's Joker are living Rent Free in my mind

On that day, Tumblr was *flooded* with thirst over Bill and especially Bipper. Something that Alex Hirsch has taken quite a bit of joy in poking fun at.

My favorite thing about this episode is, The Head That’s Always Screaming’s tongue ties itself in a knot as its disappearing.

Bill never said he'd give Dipper the password. He said he'd give a hint...

To answer Calvin's answer about why Bill didn't outright possess Dippers body: Its because Bill has no power in the physical world. All of his power comes only in the Mindscape. He can haunt, manipulate, and psychologically torture people in their dreams, but without a consensual agreement with a human (via shaking hands..."make a deal"), he can't do anything to physically harm or coerce anyone into doing his bidding. When Dipper made the deal with Bill, he unwittingly gave Bill physical power to roam in the physical world through his body.

24:44 In a Simpsons cameo, he’s ‘revealed’ to be a form of Loki (a joke obviously but kinda makes sense)

In the real life Journal 3 Mabel found a letter written by Bipper that once he succeeded in destroying the journal he was gonna make Dipper's body fall off the water tower

"Bipper...."

So patiently I watch this town, No puppet strings to hold me down. Abnormal soon will be the norm, Enjoy the calm before the storm.

Their getting so close, I can't wait until they reach.....this is making me re-watch the whole series all over again

11:27 you can hear an audience member yell "You suck!" That's always my favorite part.

Oh in this episode they were scared of the things Bill did and we will see how they react in the next episode with one of the scariest characters ever in the series!

The shocking thing is Calvin’s immediate password guess would fit. M-C-G-U-C-K-E-T

9:15 Dipper is hilarious when he looks so mad 🤣🤣🤣🤣

10:31 Aaron's face had me weak🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Eenie. Meanie. Miney. YOU! One on my favorite lines.

Here have a head that’s always screaming! Best gag of the show 😂

Continuing the tally on who spots the key. Aaron spots the key this episode. Eric 1 Rick 1 Calvin 1 Aaron 1

Journal 3(the physical edition released, which writes in character perspective)has Bipper take over the writing at one point and saying that after he destroys the Journals, he would make Dipper jump off the water tower and everyone would think Dipper had just lost it. Harmless villain, eh? "Oh, I'll hold my horses...I'll hold them....you monster." XD!!!

This have been one of my favorite show since childhood but you guys made it even more fun watching!! Keep it up👍

"*GASP* You drive a biscotti??" Love the double facepalm there, guys. XDD

I have been waiting for this for SO LONG!!! One of my favorite episodes in the whole show.

it’s so hard to decide a favorite between this episode and a few others from this season but this episode is immaculate, it’s perfection, i love it so much 🫶🏻

9:02 One of my favorite reactions of the whole series so far. They reacted just like someone from in the show would react to Mabel's silliness. Just tired resignation.

Thing I JUST realized: they're RIGHT about the codes being next ep. This episode ISN'T about Mcgucket, thats true. But you know what he's seen??? Bill. Taking people over.

So happy one of my favorite gravity falls eps landed to get reacted to on my birthday, love your vids guys!

My stepdad is a white hat hacker for a semiconductor company in Dallas-Fort Worth, and he has some INCREDIBLE stories about TERRIBLE security in his own BUILDING.

Great reaction! This is a really good episode!

I love Bill so much. One of my all time favorite Villains

This is the episode that got me into the show, mainly because of Bill, but also, this episode had one of my favorite tropes.

Am I the only one who thought the always-screaming head looked a lot like Rick?

This honestly has to be my favourite gravity falls ep! Sooo glad to finally see your reactions to it!😄

Spoilers kinda: 7 more episodes

Some episodes have more codes than the ones in the credits and the post-credits image. You can actually find the keycodes of the last three episodes and the next one, in a page where Dipper writes possible codes for the laptop password, they are in caesar. There's another one in a page under a UV light that's in atbash

oh yes its finally here, one of my favorites eps of gravity falls! i love bill chipher and his evil laugh

Saw a couple of your videos before, subscribed like two weeks ago, don't regret it

One of my favorite episodes of the series tbh

YES! The episode I've been waiting for. Bro! Bill is the definition of "I want all the smoke!" Holy Shit!

definitely one of my favorite episodes

Everyone always asks, O brother where art thou? Only Rick asks How brother where art thou?

I've come to conclusion what your reaction (uncoding included) for me became same tier as Gravity Falls itself

This is one of my favorite episodes! but the cipher oh my god.

i love this. it’s my birthday today too, perfect present!

YESSSSS It’s my second favorite episode right after Golf War in more ways than one, LOL

Right off the bat, the crew recaps the last episode.

Gravity falls show is cartoony with some dark edges to it, but outside of that the universe of Gravity Falls becomes a lot darker when you think about it or read the journals. Correction, one journal but still.

Lol that Liveaction puppetshow at the end.

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS

It's such a freaky but cool poem I love it so much: No puppet strings can hold me down Abnormal soon will be the norm So patiently I watch the town Enjoy the calm before the storm

4:04 Eric knows all about hating sounds

I love this episode both for the story and comedy but it’s also probably the worst that Mabel’s selfishness gets, especially when contrasted with how much Dipper gives up for her

1:58 You reminded me of that fiasco in Poland when some hacker got into a camera on a laptop that belonged to some government official and gained further access to it because dude wrote password on a sticky note, attached it to the laptop and had a laptop in front of a mirror so it could be seen via the camera. XD

The only problem with your bill and Stan portal theory is that Giddion had to summon bill. So he couldn’t have been at gravity falls all that time.

4:10 completely unrelated, but has anyone noticed that Dipper's shadow looked like Among Us?

Love bill as dipper lol

something to point out he knows how to make just about anyone fall for his deals this episode shows that

7:06 key word is right there in the mirror

in the irl journal 3 there is a note by bipper that Mabel found which says that after destroying the journal he would throw Dipper's body off the water tower to get rid of him, making it seem like dipper lost his mind. And pretty sure there was never a password limit on the laptop, Dipper fell asleep before that and it was part of Bill's vision

I've seen this episode a few times the part at the end is always funny and only now did I realize that Dipper the angry doll is similar to Kermit

14:56 "It's a bit much, Aaron." No, sir. That's a totally adequate reaction.

This is a good episode! I probably put this in my top ten maybe top five. Bill is such a great antagonist! Bipper is so creepy! Glad Mabel avoided Gabe. Things will be getting interesting so buckle up fellas!

"Dipper Would" is a great moment

The next episode is scary!
