I love that Cooper thinks Cheryl is the only character that acts normal, when really she says things like "Goon from Saskatoon" unironically and also kept her brother's corpse in her basement

Betty literally kidnapped and tortured people but her bigest regret was not getting her yearbook??? lmao

I used to get drunk and watch Riverdale and take a drink every time a character said something nobody would ever say in real life. Had to stop watching in season 3 because I was afraid I was going to give myself alcohol poisoning and Riverdale is not watchable sober

Don’t cry because it happened, smile because it’s over

Cooper only jumping onto Riverdale at the very end means he’s never known the triumphs and defeats, the epic highs and lows of HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL!!!

It’s always super clear when someone who isn’t polyamorous writes a polyamorous storyline as a way out of having a character make a decision. And it’s absolutely hilarious.

I kind of want Cooper to watch the whole show, just so he can experience my favourite underrated Riverdale line, which is when actual respected actor Skeet Ulrich has to deliver the line "you been dealin' jingle jangle, boy?!?" with the urgency of a serious crime drama.

This show's cast deserve some special award for delivering all those pure cringe lines and not dying of embarrassment. True stoics. Brave hearts.

Him saying that Cheryl (Macy) is rooted in reality is laughable. She was so sad about her twin brothers death she dug up his grave and hid his body in the basement, she has nearly killed herself every season, set her house on fire, joined a cult, started a cult, has tried to murder everyone at least once, was really an old ass cursed lady who could never die because she was too gay, oh and thought she was really a triplet but ate the third in the womb and was being haunted by him. This is not even all of it. Also, SO IM BLAMING COLE SPROUSE

I love how Cooper makes the same type of “I’m a weirdo I don’t fit it and I don’t wanna fit in” joke

As someone who's sister's name is Betty, who is polyamorous, and who grew up in Arkansas, I was jumpscared *multiple* times this video

I remember, when I watched the third season, found out about the farm cult and never watched it again, thinking it could not get worse... I apparently missed aliens, explosion of a bed, alternative dimensions, wizards and time travel

I love watching Cooper attempt to analyse a show that literally it’s own cast didn’t take seriously, the amount of time travel and weird shit that happened was crazy

Cooper being confused about the timeline the whole time is a freaking mood

Bro I've never watched Riverdale but I looked up why they're in the 1950's now and I'm even more confused "As of the show's final episode, yes, they are actually in the 1950s. This is a result of Tabitha, who is a Guardian Angel, weaving all the different Riverdale timelines and multiverses together into a single path. By choosing to keep them in 1955, she placed the characters in their original Archie Comics atmosphere."

Every time coop cuts to him doing the “ee-Eh-Ee” part I literally laugh so hard 😂

Love that he thought Cheryl was the normal one but she’s literally the most unhinged and psycho person in the entire show

1:22 Listen, it makes perfectly good sense: they went back in time to 1955 after cheryl got rid of the comet, using all their combined magic powers and everyone came back from the sweat hereafter, including a baby that wasn't even born in IRL (only in the sweet hereafter) and then they got stuck in 1955 when angel Tabitha untangled all the timelines, but she gave them back their memories, so they remembered both timelines. oh also, Rivervale exists in a bubble where a version of Jughead must write forever for Rivervale to continue to exist.

“can somebody dye his eyebrows NOT that black??” has me cackling every time

Forsythe was jughead’s real names in archie comics too. He also had a baby sister named Forsythia and if anyone spoke her name they’d have super bad luck for a day or somethin idk the comics were also kinda bonkers in their own right. Cheryl and her brother were also kinda super incest-y in the comics. Idk man.

Cooper at the beginning: “I’m not gonna pause a lot.” Also cooper: makes a 53 minute video

I love it when Cooper goes on his tangents Also well there were cults, organ harvesting, teenagers in charge of motorcycle gangs full of grown men, dead brothers' corpses in the basement, serial killer dads, serial killer genes, daddykins, superpowers, witches, time travel, cult leader rocketships and that's what you missed on Riverdale...I think? I stopped s2 You know what? We need to respect people who watched from 1x01 to 7xWhatever episode the show ended on because we don’t know the triumphs and defeats, the epic mid and lows of terrible teen television.

As a poly person in a poly relationship, this is not how mine is, and not how most are. Imo, the poly couples that get together from borderline cheating don't usually go well. Like open and honest and real communication is one of the most important parts in a poly relationship working?

One of the many things that made me mad about this show was that in the original comic, Jughead was actually ace (and he was an absolute sweetheart) and they basically just erased all that for the sake of drama and oversexualizing teenage romance 😒

If you want to understand Riverdale without watching so many episodes watch Alex Meyer's videos on it. They give a good summary of each season

cooper feels more like a friend than a random guy we watch making fun of cole sprouse

I love how Cooper “loves” Cheryl even though she the most psycho one 😂😂😂

The thing with Riverdale is that you can just watch the seasons without watching the other ones because they completely forget about the entire plot every season.

The show had so much potential in S1. Sad to see how bad it got.

there’s no way that there are actual people that loved high school this much

God EVERYTIME it cut back to cooper’s rendition of walking down the stairs I lost it. I pray this becomes and recurring bit bc it’s too good

Okay, starting Riverdale in season 7 is like asking to have a stroke. Nothing makes senses when you have seen the first 6 seasons, i can't imagine jumping into season 7 without context, or with context to be honest. This show has become a fever dream i don't think i could relive. Lol

20:35 "She seems like the only character who is based in reality." Me: *flashbacks to when she claimed that she was the queen of the bees and a witch and ran a cult*

ok but the idea of Cooper wearing 6inch heels, screaming a remixed version of You’ll Be Back at the top of his lungs actually sounds dope🤣

I'm glad you did the fast-forwarding, it made it all the more tolerable. I watched the first season of "Riverdale", and actually liked it, a dark take on the "Archie" comics. But it's devolved ever since. Now, that's a bit presumptuous, as I eventually phased out my viewing of it by early season 4 because it had just become overly...something/everything. It seemed to take itself far too seriously, and the plot "twists" became eye-rolling bad. Also, by THEN, all of these "high school kids", who were close to age appropriate when it started, were obviously well into their 20s. Or beyond.

I REALLY want Cooper to make a series of him reacting to each episode of Riverdale, I feel like it'd be SO funny

As someone who has been in many polyamorous relationships, I’m gonna say no not entirely accurate but sometimes maybe 😂😂, also they 100% didn’t show the two men kiss because lesbians are “hot” and gay men are “gross”

Ah yes, Riverdale, I've been watching from the beginning and it's been crazy. also, the show hasn't always been set in the 50s there was an asteroid and they got sent back in time so that they could change the future so they could survive in their future, but they didn't end up getting sent back to the present day cause jugheads girlfriend Tabitha (a time-traveling Angel. I'm not kidding) tangled the timelines into one. ik it's crazy, I kinda wouldn't have it any other way though.

as a former Riverdale watcher I thoroughly enjoyed watching Cooper call Cheryl normal like she wasn't the craziest mf in the show :)

I am polyamorous. This is awful representation indeed. 1) it would’ve been integral to poly representation to show all of the numerous ongoing convos they’re each having about boundaries and feelings and styles and whatnot 2) yeah they’re all cheating on each other, which is not the same as being polyamorous (cheating is NOT consensual between all parties involved, which is what they display throughout their show, but in polyamory, all parties are informed, aware, and consenting) 3) cheating and then pulling “they’re all in a squad”… Like it doesn’t match up for the viewers, clearly doesn’t align within their own universe, and also perpetuates a gross stereotype to the general public that’s already heavily believed. 4) then they throw in that gross toxicity of “i like you the best”- comparison is the killer of love and any healthy poly practicing person would display that. Hats off to you for the vid Coop, heavily appreciate being able to have your filter for this lol

In an alternative universe, Cooper would star in Riverdale 👀

I feel like just watching the series finale without any other context makes more coherent sense than if you were to watch the entirety of it😭

i absolutely love coopers enthusiasm about the hard work that drag queens put in

I forgot I was already watching this on 1.25x, and still barely even noticed when you put Riverdale on 2x. That's how mind-numingly slow that show is.

when cooper posts, it turns into the best day ever edit: as someone who (unfortunately) is addicted to Riverdale, seeing him so confused is so funny cuz it's the most bizarre show

He absolutely needs to be in a ghost hunting video I think we would all watch that 😂

Riverdale was based on a comic from 1941. The last episode was the only one that actually takes place when the comic does

4:11 he called me out on the posters of jimin EVERYWHERE 😭😭

BRO WHEN JUGHEAD WAS TALKING AT THE BEGINNING (9:31) THEY FULL ON STOLE HIS AND BETTY’S LINES. THOSE ARE ALMOST WORD FOR WORD FROM A PLAY CALLED “OUR TOWN” Especially the B: why should it be painful? J: Because you won’t just be living that day, you’ll be seeing yourself live it LOWKEY LIVID ITS ALMOST WORD FOR WORD- EMILY (from the play) DOES NOT DESERVE THIS DISRESPECT It’s from the graveyard (act 3) when she’s ALREADY dead, not just about to die, and she being buried. It’s actually really emotional when acted well, all of the ghosts in the graveyard warn her not to go back because they know it will hurt her, but she goes back and relives her 12th birthday and has a monologue about appreciating life for everyday that you have, especially the small things that we as humans tend to overlook. I did this play last year that’s why I remember it so well lol ALSO 14:02 is from the play too!! This whole ep is definitely based on the play. I bet they didn’t think anyone would notice because it’s from 1913. Jokes on them, I’m a theater nerd with way to much time on my hands. That part in the play is because Emily didn’t realize how much time had passed even though it had only been like 10 years. She was about 22 when she died (she died in childbirth). But she actually does talk that way and ngl it makes more sense because it was literally written in the 1910’s. And the difference is she makes those exclamations to herself, not actually to her mom. Because she’s literally watching herself live it, she’s not just in her body and living through it. Wth Riverdale lol You probably wouldn’t have the context if you watched the other episodes, cuz it’s mostly based on the play 💀 BRUH this is so frustrating because it makes sense in the context of the play that she’s like “is this real or a dream?” Because she’s already been clearly established as dead BRUH 49:50 dude they even stole the ending - like I knew it was coming but it was still a disappointment 😒 Also it probably seems like nothing happened because they just copied act 3, none of the rest of the play. Actually, even so not that much happens in the play, because it’s pretty much just 3 days in Emily’s life, a random day when she’s about 16, her wedding and her funeral. But yeah, the play is all about finding the beauty in daily life lol

i have so many conflicting feelings about the quad thing.... like ive always loved the idea of solving a love triangle with polyamory but WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE RIVERDALE THAT DID IT

Cooper, I'm a very recent subscriber who just binged all your videos the past 2 days. I love how you seem to never prewatch what you're reacting to because your reactions seem so much more genuine and fun compared to other commentary youtubers! And I also love how you tell us you love us, it's so sweet. Thanks for the great video ❤

I love how cooper is so pleased by watching a show on 2x speed

I don’t know if it’s simply because I don’t like teenagers drama or because I grew up with the Archie comics, but everything about what I heard about Riverdale (because I never watched it) made me angry. They only used the Archie characters to get attention to their show and without needing to create original characters - even if they still technically did, because aside from their name and their physics, they are nothing alike to the comics. Also, the AroAce erasure is something that was pushed aside because people don’t feel like it’s important, but it is! So many aroace grew up being able to relate to Jughead and they threw it away and also made him dirty, going from the sarcastic likeable guy to whatever happened to him in the show. (Also, the change in genre feel, to me, similar to how they messed up with ‘Velma’. That’s not what the fan of the original work want to watch, so why make it inspired from it?)

Riverdale is very confusing if you havent seen the whole show, so the show actually begins more around 2020 ish then in season 6 they got sent back to 1950 because of a comet hitting them. they then live out the rest of their lives in the 1950s so then betty is old she is in the present even though it began with them in the present as teens

You gentle parenting Gustaf was so damn wholesome

yes to the ghost hunting video. all of the yes. i could see you showing so much appreciation for places and their energies and i feel like you would so real and respectful. much needed for youtube.

i love how he admits to never seeing any other episode but also asks if all the things that are pay off are pay offs 😂

Cheryl’s literally crazy but she’s also the only character I like from this show

this episode is giving 13 year-old writing a wattpad fanfic

"posters of Jimin EVERYWHERE"😭😭💀

16:51 - GUSTAV SIGHTING 18:48 - MORE OF THE BOI 21:00 - Carrot boi 21:20 - Almost a carrot catastrophe

You should go back and either watch only the first episode of every season or only the last. It’s wild how insane this show has been over the years.

I wish Dylan and Cooper could do a review together. That'd be epic

As someone who watched all the episodes of Riverdale, its so weird that Cooper has no idea what happened that season is so funny.

Thank you Roberto for teaching a generation of future or aspiring writers that if nothing else, no matter what bad things befall your writing, no matter how many edits you have to do, no matter what self doubt you’ll come across over and over… rest assured that it could be worse. At least you had nothing to do with writing Riverdale.

I love watching Cooper say everything that goes through his head. It really feels like we're going through this absurd journey with him lol

I LOVE THE HAMILTON REFERENCE, I NEED MORE COOPER HAMILTON VERSION CONTENT

The actress who plays Betty’s mom was on Twin Peaks and the main character in Twin Peaks is named Cooper so I need Cooper to watch and review the show.

We all have to agree that his fashion sense is so freaking awesome

I love how Cooper just predicts everything that happens right before it does.

I'm 60, and I definitely got the "Are You There God..." reference. Since 1970, there hasn't been a girl in middle school who hasn't read the book. It's a right of passage. 😊

The fact that Cooper knows Andy made my day. I think I'm gonna eat my couch if they don't collab.

i stopped watching this show years ago, no idea they kept going. thanks for the post cooper :]

i love how cooper went from bashing the show to being a drag queen. he would make a grate drag queen👌

I got your Margaret reference! This was amazing! Cooper is my spirit animal🤣

6:45 love how he did actually end up making a ghost hunting video :D

I love this man’s chaotic energy so much

riverdale was insane. i remember when archie goes to war and people on tumblr were trying to find out which war based on the uniform he had n everything 💀

i get and love the Are You There God, It’s Me Margaret reference and im so happy i got to hear cooper make that reference

I love the chaos that is cooper videos. The two times speed and the going down the stairs edit have me dying 😂

holy crap, not even a minute in and your hair is STUNNING 🫶

I love watching Cooper when I need to turn my brain off because he basically just says everything I think!

first 20 minutes in and i have fully deduced that cooper watches drag race. from the “read and serve attitude” bit to the entire bit about drag, and i’m LIVING for it as a drag race fan. yippee

cooper doing/saying one absolutely unhinged thing and then latching onto it and sprinkling it throughout the video is my new favourite thing

A COOPER A DAY KEEPS THE SADNESS AWAY

something about you confidently getting all the names wrong is so iconic 😂

havent seen riverdale either lmao also yes ghost hunting to feel the kenergy

this whole thing is actually referencing the play Our Town by Thornton Wilder!! the main character dies & this guy tells her she can pick one day to go back to but it will be sad to watch. she hugs her mom in the kitchen and is like "you're alive??" and it goes over every character in the show & what they went on to do and how they died. the show ends with the girl giving this big monologue where she says goodbye to all the things she misses that she didn't appreciate enough while she was alive

Of course they went for the “massive exposition dump for every character” series finale route

Ive been watching for a while now and its so fun to see cooper grow and see his Channel along with the fanbase i love being a weirdo

The cuts to “the stairs scene” by Cooper 😂😂😂😂😂❤

as someone who kept up w riverdale in the beginning and now can’t stop watching cus i am too invested i can tell this is gonna be painful

This makes me want to go figure out wtf happened in this show lmao. I watched the first 2 seasons and they honestly weren't too bad (granted it was when I was in highschool)

I NEVER THOUGHT COOPER WOULD BE A HAMILTON FAN BUT IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE NOW

I put this video in 2x speed after Cooper was saying how fun it is, and I think it makes everything so much funnier 😭

HE GETS IT!!!!! “It’s so badly made but I love it” it’s like a modern teenager murder soap drama, like it’s awful but I can’t stop watchinggggg

my grandma was obsessed with elvis, future grandmas will be obsessed with jimin. circle of life

“Ohhh she died and her heaven is… more Riverdale?!” Was a perfect line lol, laughed out loud

The cackling walk/run. i can’t take that omfg 💀💀💀💀💀 you are a gem of a creator

One thing I kept in mind while getting through all of Riverdale's not-so-great seasons, was the fact that I think they were just trying to portray the show in the same way they did the Archie Comics. It just failed to translate well. The comics themselves had all kinds of different spin offs, realities, misadventures and the issues varied greatly from one another. Just my opinion though, it very well may have been horrendous writing and nothing more lol
