The fact that the first backwards message was "backwards message" is hilarious🤣🤣

For those wondering what Fiddleford's "YROO XRKSVI! GIRZMTOV" line meant, it's Attabash code, and it translates to "BILL CIPHER! TRIANGLE!"

This show really did what most shows refuse to: quit while they’re ahead. The show is so iconic because we didn’t get a cheap second storyline, we got a satisfying ending and went our merry ways afterwards. Idk how many times I’ve watched this show but I always wanna crawl into the tv and live in this mysterious world. The composer for this show is a damn genius!

There’s actually (at least) three more: 1. In the inconvenienceing, one of the giant smile dip dogs Mabel hallucinates about is actually saying “must distrust grunkel.” 2. In the stanchurian candidate, when Gideon cast the mind control spell he is saying “spooky evil spells” over and over 3. In the short the tooth, the giant island head is saying “you have awoken me from my slumber! Enter my mouth children! Enter your destiny…”

I like how in the reverse for the second one, Ford just crawls back terrified and lays back down

"Yroo xrksvi girzmtov" is something McGuckett has said in another episode, but he said it forward. It's a code translating to "Bill Cipher Triangle"

0:16 That perfect cut when gideon makes choking sound🤣🤣🤣

Bill Cipher " A-X-O-L-O-T-L MY TIME HAS COME TO BURN, I INVOKE THE ANCIENT POWER THAT I MAY RETURN!!! " Axolotl " As what?" Bill Cipher "STANLEY!!!!!!!!!!!" Axolotl " So be it. " Edit: I also realized that at the end of him saying it normal ( non-reversed ), it sounds like he yells, " I WILL STA-AY!!!!!"

Bill's message is my favorite because it's funny when he spells out axolotl

I like how Gideon message seems so silly but most likely it was a way for Alex hirsch to give fans a hint to reverse certain audios for secrets

It’s funny cause the line “envoke the ancient power that I may return” is connecting to the axolotl as the “ancient power”. And due to the books stating that the axolotl is called upon when someone request forgiveness, it’s likely that Bill was calling upon the axolotl to save him from his sins yet doesn’t fully state his name due to fear of the axolotl rejecting his forgiveness.

Imagine you walk into the recording studio one day and they're like, "Aight we're gonna need you to say Backwards message' a few times, k?"

Bill's message : " A X O L O T L I ! My time has come to burn. I invoke the ancient power that I may return !" is realy a perfect set up for a sequel, it's the kind of last word from a overpowered antagonist when they're defeated but it's the first book of a trilogy.

I love how Stan just talked to him and then went back to sleep.

To anyone who does not no: The last message where bill spells out axolotl is actually mentioned in this one gravity falls book that I forgot the name of. Basically dipper and Mabel meet this all powerful axolotl and they can ask it one question and it'll answer it truthfully or whatever. Dipper asks it what it knows about bill cipher to which it responds: “Sixty degrees that come in threes. Watches from within birch trees. Saw his own dimension burn. Misses home and can't return. Says he's happy. He's a liar. Blame the arson for the fire. If he wants to shirk the blame, He'll have to invoke my name. One way to absolve his crime. A different form, a different time.” So BASICALLY bill just did the "invoke my name" part of the ✨️poem✨️ and now he's probobly gonna come back l, most likely in Stanley's brain and control him like he controlled stanFORD; only while he sleeps! If you read this whole thing I applaud you 👏

Most of Gravity falls Backwards Message’s: Creepy And Unsettling Gideon: BACKWARDS MESSAGE BACKWARDS MESSAGE

Pretty sure I heard somewhere that Bill spells out "Axolotl" because in the Gravity Falls universe there is a god-like Axolotl more powerful than Bill and it offered him a favor if Bill just says "Axolotl" but Bill is so afraid of it's power that he wont even say its name.

For those that didn't quite get the last one. What was said was "Axolotl my time has come to burn, I invoke the ancient power that I may return" According to the comics (which I'm not sure about the canonicity of) dipper and Mabel come across an Axolotl thats basically god, and that would be the axolotl that bill was referring to there

I wish they would do a another season of bill’s return, being that, “he invokes the ancient powers that he may return”

0:31 scared the soul outta my body for a moment because it is so quiet. But if you turn it up to hear it then Bill screams at you quickly after

I don’t really remember it, but I’m pretty sure Gideon used a spell to break out of prison or something like that. In reverse they said something like, “Spooky Scary Spells”

BACKWORDS MESSEGE IS HILARIOUS

backwards message sounds pretty horrifying when reversed. this show was too damn good

Bill cipher: *tries to summon ancient powers of reincarnation* Stanley: 👊 🗿

"AXOLOTL my time has come to burn, but I invoke the ancient power that I may return"

For anyone that’s curious I’m pretty sure Axolotl is the Aztec god of monsters , misfortune and sickness also he was a guide for the dead ☠️

Omg thank you so much for this is so helpfullll!

You forgot the Smile Dip dog. It talks backwards and says "Must distrust Grunkle"

Gideon you fucking genius

I like how even reversed fords messages cant really be made out that well

Even after listening to it for like 10 times I still don't know what the second message says

WHAT THE HELL WHY IS BILL'S DEATH SO LOUD IN THIS VIDEO

"My time has come to burn!" Chilling....

I love how in the second one the reversed still sounded like gibberish

0:01 censgriu hempshri

A-X-O-L-O-T-L *”Bro did bill just predict the Minecraft update?”*

“BACKWARDS MESSAGE!” “BACKWARDS MESSAGE!” “BACKWARDS MESSAGE!” *I absolutely love this show lmao*

This is amazing

I find bills message to be genuinely scary, imagine a demon screaming that in front of you

It's so nice when Stanley takes his first out of bills eye so he can rebuild himself. I now have hope in humanity

you forgot the candy dog thing, and I guess the floating island.

The fact that Gideon said backwards message and then just growled like his stomach was hurting

I was just thinking about this video the other day since I've been re-watching the whole series

All I hear for bill is power and return

Almost all backwards messages in gravity falls: Have a actual meaning Gideon: BACKWARDS MESSAGE, BACKWARDS MESSAGE, BACKWARDS MESSAGE

Man may return

what Bill Cipher said before death was "A-X-O-L-O-T-L, My time has come to burn, I invoke the power that I may return"

I love how stanley just stands there while bill is struggling and dying

The fact that Bill essentially called on the power of an Axolotl to resurrect him.

Damn i just realised how great Gravity Falls art style really is

I love the reverse in first and last one

A-X-O-L-O-T-L my time has come to burn I invoke the ancient power that I may return Edit: HOLY 1.7K LIKES IN THE LAST THREE DAYS, WITH 20 REPLIES. THANKS, also thanks too the person or corrected my misspelling.

I love that Gideon literally just says backwards message

amazing

bro for the second one i turned my volume up then the third one startled me

0:22 is backwards and In a language called atbash. He says in atbash: “BILL CIPHER TRIANGLE”

Remember Robbies backwards message?! "Y O U R M I N D I S M I N E Y O U A R E N O W U N D E R M Y C O N T R O L"......scary as hell

0:33 i love how he lies back down

Such amazing secrets in a Disney show.

Gravity falls a whole new level of cartoon, it's still holds the best mystery plot for a cartoon series.

About what everyone's saying about the "A X O L O T L" If you get the copy of book three Ford puts in an entry saying about him waking up by a sage looking woman with a giant Axolotl tapestry behind her. from what I can tell this is how I think it goes: the Axolotl is an ancient creature (possibly of unmatched power) who had either beef or a friendship with Bill. In some way Bill must have done something for Her and that caused Her to pay a favour to Bill. Bill obviously cashed out this favour evoking the Axolotl and wishing to be brought back... in another place... in another time. Just for the record heres the entry Ford wrote in journal three: THE ORACLE "I was suddenly sucked out of the 2-D dimension (not Bills btw), and i blacked out. When i awoke, i found myself in a strange mountain top shrine surrounded by clouds, looking up at a seven eyed creature, Theselbraum The Unansering. She told me i was in dimension 52, and that she had been treating my wounds for a long time. Strangely, she seemed to already know my name and what my mission was (to murder bill and save the multiverse). Whether she was psychic or had just read my wanted poster is hard to say. But she had some stunning insight about Bill. She said that if i truly wanted to face him again, i would need to protect my mind - and that she could help me, but it would require putting a metal plate in my head with difficult surgery. Maybe it was the thin mountain air but i agreed instantly. For a week, as i recovered, we had many long conversations about Bill. Apparently, his thirst for power had led him to destroy his home dimension - including his parents and everyone he hed ever known. She spoke of him without anger, but with a calm, steely, clinical resolve to see his reign of terror end. She looked deep into my eyes and said i had the face of a man who was destined to destroy Bill. I was so excited that we spent the entire night partying and drinking cosmic sand - the same kind Time Baby himself consumes. When i awoke the next morning, she was gone and i was in another dimension entirely. It was time to continue on my quest. I sometimes wonder where she is now and how she knew so much about me..." Infer that how you like.

At the end of the weirmageddon opening, Bill Cipher says "I'm watching you, nerds!"

There was also another backwards message in “the inconveniencing” when Mabel eats too much fun dip.

I really can't imagine other kid's cartoons being darker than this. It was a masterpiece Edit: CALM DOWN PEOPLE I HAVEN'T SEEN SO MUCH SHOWS BECAUEE I ALWAYS HAD SHITS TO DO

The 2nd one is still gibberish

I wasn't wearing headphones, I was watching this at 3am, I had my volume all the way up, the last part was loud:(

I just realized Stan wouldn't pack nearly as much of a punch if not for his father he already used a left hand to knock out a person, I think it was time he took it seriously and used the main hand to take down the villain

When Bill says “Stanley” backwards, I’m immediately reminded of Holes.

Why did I get goosebumps when it was Bill talking backwards 😭😭😭

The first one is a brief summary of my variety of ideas

nice

You cannot deny that this is one of the best cartoon show

1st co writer for the gravity falls plot: what is this backwards message read 2nd co writer: oh something like bill cypher will come back 1st co writer but the show is ending, wont the fans want more if they find this out? 2nd co writer: exactly i want them to experience true pain

Bills last message is: my time has come to burn, I invoke the ancient power that I may return!

Finally I understand what Giddeon Mcgucket and Bill said

Bill basically cast a spell knowing he was going to die to make sure he returns again

I love how with the first backwards message the writers decided to put in a joke

I couldn’t hear the second one so I raised my volume and then all I hear next is bill screaming a backwards message and it was so loud I felt it in my soul-

The last one was bill cipher begging “the AXOLOTL” for coming back to life THE axolotl is the most powerful being

the first one was made because alex knew somebody would go looking i bet

Honestly terrifying that he says “Axolotl, my time has come to burn, I invoke the ancient power that I may return” as his last words, possibly connected to amphibia?

Even the Gravity Falls theme backwards sounds cool.

It was right there in front of us that’s impressive

Love how the first one is just straight up backwards message

The last one is the reason I got into axolotls and how I remember to spell it.

“Backwards message. Backwards message. Backwards message.”- Lil Gideon❤

I love thats its just BACKWARDS MESSAGE alot

I love how detailed this show is lol

BRO WTF YOU DESTROYED MY EARDRUMS

fine ill rewatch gravity falls

The "backwards message" was put there with a sole purpose of trolling people

Bill really predicted the new minecraft axolotl

This show was perfect from beginning to end (and backwards)

All the reversed messages say: Gideons: Backward message Ford and mcgucket: Your a loser Bill: A-X-O-L-O-T-L My time has come to the worst. I invoke in the ancient power that i may return!

God I miss this show

0:28 he said “ur mom”

The axolotl one is a reference to one of the gravity falls books, in a page where dipper meets a gigantic axolotl in a white void, it is speculated that this axolotl is a being that's stronger than Bill cypher, I personally think that Bill cypher is asking for help from the axolotl.

We'll meet again, don't know when but I know we'll meet again on a sunny day.

Those secrets messages are so incridible that made stanford go lays down sleep

Bill’s message was so clear. Amazing.
