Alternative title: 'The slow torturing of Ernie' was pretty weird...

as a kid I liked the show but now I realize how horrible KC's parents were to their son, honestly Ernie deserved better

Where's the spinoff where Ernie moves across the country, gets a decent job, and becomes an upstanding member of his community to compensate for the emotional trauma of his neglectful family?

Ernie should've become a villain. Tired of emotional neglect from his parents, he becomes a rival spy and one of the main villains, which creates emotional turmoil as KC must fight her own brother.

Imagine if Ernie died and everyone was like, "haha, anyways..."

Glad I'm not the only one who thought that they did Ernie wrong in the series..

The way that KC practically shouts "activate eavesdrop mode" and no one hears is like Merlin shouting spells and still no one knowing he has magic oml

Is no one gonna talk about how they practically force kc to be a spy?! When Kc gave up bcuz she wanted to be normal, they literally said they were disappointed in her. She must have felt her world crumbling down since all her life they’ve told her she was perfect and never told her they were disappointed in her. The manipulation, neglect, and gaslight that was in that show.

It's strange how Disney is "against" bullying but most of their jokes involve bullying someone or even the adults bullying the kids. No wonder kids are so mean geez

"They built a robot little sister" I'm sorry, what? They just casually drop that in the end of an episode

"an agent from the other side." "Who is the "other side"?" "You know... The bad guys. They want to do bad stuff." "Like kidnap girls?" "They had your parents' consent!"

disney also tries to be so anti-bullying and anti-rude but most of their shows always have neglectful parents and bullying as the entire shows jokes

Imagine if ernie snapped and became one of the most technically genius villains in the show. And at some point, KC would have to fight her brother and actually get hurt, or get genuinely challenged, by ernie's creations.

*Sending your kid to be a spy, because that's what responsible parents do: the show*

I thought Ernie was very adorable, the show would have been PERFECT is Ernie was treated respectfully. K.C undercover was one of my favorite shows to watch, I don't like how Ernie was treated.

I never realised how traumatic life was for Ernie

I always felt sorry for Ernie. I know that all sitcoms have one character who is the butt of all jokes, but half the time, he didn't even do anything to provoke the teasing.

Isn't the son is more perfect fit for a spy? His spy parents never even noticed him going in the house!!!!

I always felt sorry for poor Ernie. And i also constantly found myself thinking how lucky I am to have a sister who's NOT like KC. Like dang girl, he's your brother ya know

KC Undercover, That's So Raven, Lab Rats, Elite Force, Might Med, and a lot of other shows were pure perfection

disney channel just cannot get rid of the “not like other girls” main girl.

the bad guys in this show were literally called "the other side"

It’s always bothered me that in shows/movies (disney specifically) the nerdy and unpopular girl who “can’t get guys” is like incredibly beautiful and actually has some kind of talent in something lol. They always took the “it girl” of the time and cast her as a dork that nobody liked…when in reality, she would definitely be the prettiest and most popular girl in a real school.

As a person with underlying family trauma, seeing the treatment of this poor brother actually hits a bit of a sore spot...

Gotta love it when Disney Channel uses child neglect as a running joke in their shows 😊😊

Neglecting one of your children and putting the other one in serious danger even though she 15-17:the show

2:23 at highschool I used to made my mom signature for the stuff like the dumb notifications of he school that they printed and made the parents sign And the time I get caught the teacher compared “the false signature” _with another signature that I did_

Ernie deserved so much better, I know how it feels to be the forgotten middle child😭

Ernie: finally! validation from my parents- *gets fucking chloroformed*

I always felt bad for Ernie. He was always neglected.

I always felt so bad for Ernie on the episodes where they REALLY did him dirty. I liked how after he became a spy that he was treated with a little more respect, but it always made me sad when I'd watch how they treated him 😢

0:24 "OH MY GOODNESS! Alex Clark? From the youtube channel Alex Clark?"

The only thing that bothers me from this show is how the parents treated Ernie. They always underestimated him, and implied that they believed KC is good at everything, and Ernie will never be as good. They kept making it _quite_ clear that KC’s their favorite and Ernie’s just like... there, invisible. I found that annoying, and honestly? Not very funny. But... other than that bit, i really do like the show and think the show is great.

For a kids show it's actually pretty funny, but they should've done Ernie a better

4:10 Tony Cavalero! That grin is so adorable! He did a Hunger Games parody years ago with Katers17 as Peeta!

The names of the spy groups in this show are hilarious. Good Guys: "The Organisation" Bad Guys: "The Other Side" Other Bad Guys: "The Alternate"

One thing I noticed about this show is that you can tell Zendaya was really falling out of love for the show towards the end. Her performance felt very "eh I'm just here for the pay check"

I want a spinoff series where the horribly-treated-son becomes a serial killer XD

In Season 2 I was hoping Ernie would finally snap and have the courage to say to his parents and siblings that they always treated him wrong and always favored KC and encouraging her to mentally abuse him as well as take down his family and the organization by going to The Other Side I’m mad we never got to see a happy ending for Ernie but we saw a happy ending for KC because she never got repercussions and was never grounded, and at some point was encouraged by her parents to bully Ernie while he never stood up for himself like it should’ve been an episode where he snaps at his parents and siblings for always bullying and encouraging KC and never reprimanding her for it. She got away with it and got to go to Stanford University while Ernie was just the so called tech/nerd guy I wanted him to find his voice and finally leave his family for good.

Im a Spanish native speaker and i have to say that this channel helped me to improve my English skills and now this channel is making a move into the Spanish market is pretty genius

i think we can all collectively agree this was the last semi-good show disney put out

It was a strange show, but Zendaya is kind of a baddie 😅

Kc undercover was the best Disney show that I loved as a kid and even as a teen, I still go back and watch it. Zendaya helped direct it also so that’s why it’s so good.

when i watched KC's parents be so horrible to Ernie i didn't laugh once, and i watched it when i was 11!! like through out the show i was just WAITING for ernie to loose it with his parents, but it was barely ever adressed and that just pissed me off

Even as a 6 year old I felt weird about how badly the parents treated Ernie, but I still liked the show.

That moment when you realize you've been pronouncing Zendaya wrong for your entire life.

I agree with anyone who has been rooting for Ernie. He is literally my best friend’s favourite character. and i mean FAVOURITE. she literally does the dance he does in the intro- 💀

I decided to rewatch this a couple days ago. And this is really good to me. I wanted to revisit my childhood and some of this was actually really funny.

parents having favorites is normal, but this simply is not. the blatant disrespect, exclusion and bullying he faces from his family members is downright abusive. I never liked or watched this show but seeing Ernie's neglect played for laughs is really sickening

The squeaky noise for KC's self defence move was *amazing*

I have always had a problem with that “ least favorite child” trope. Its always “ when is your birthday again?” or “ which school do you go to?” it's a huge selling point in good luck Charlie with Gabe, and I never knew why I didn't like it until I got older and realized that it's just plain neglect and made to be funny. It's such a horrible trope that Disney loves

I would much rather watch your commentary than have to sit through a full episode of a lot of these shows. You help me stay hip with my teenage daughter and provide a lot of laughter 😂

I'm just sad they never gave KC and Brett any closure on that ship

This show was literally so good I don’t care what anyone says Well... except the Ernie neglect 💀

In the last season when the villain side of the family popped up, I was really hoping they'd embrace Ernie and he'd become a villain

0:36 angy mern bebe

I just realized Zedaya has been playing a teenager for half a decade

Zendaya Fans: Don't you dare come at out queen. All Zendaya and Alex Meyers Fans: Yep normal behavior.

Lol loved this shiw, but Erinie is so underrated.

7:51 No. This show just pulled a 2006 meme in 2015.

Alex: so that's why you never eat chipotle on a first date, alright? *me on my way to chipotle: 👁️👄👁️

JUDY, the robot sister, was one of the more memorable characters, and she didn't even appear in the pilot episode! 🤖

I watched KC undercover like a year or 2 ago and I didn't even realise it was the same actor as the 3rd Spiderman reboot

8:55 lol

"mommys cute little arsonist" would be a golden tinder description

The whole “keep being a spy or go to college and live your life” was so stressful to me as a kid but thinking about it know it is so dumb??? Like she could stop being a spy but she is still related to her spy family and is now infinitely more at risk to be kidnapped because she has no weapons or help or anything? I miss this show so much

3:26 So you’re Eren and you’re- woah. You this babe your with Yeager. That’s Armin. And he’s not a girl Hey there Armeen. So what do you like to do? I like to read!

Love this! Never heard of half of these shows however after watching your hilarious reviews considering binge watching all of them, honestly one of my favourite KZfaqrs ever 😁

I truly feel sad for Ernie during the show. The parental favouratism really irks me and makes the show quite unwatchable. They don't treat him well. They are really bad parents and KC is just condescending all throughout.

After watching Alex for a while I’ve realized “weird” means good/decent for him

I unlocked the most random memory the other day and watched The Other Me, it’s a Disney Channel movie from 2000 and the whole time I was watching it I just kept thinking how much Alex Meyers would love roasting it 😂😂 PLEASSEEEE do The Other Me one day!! 😂

Everyone: Endgame was the most ambitious crossover ever. Me: Alex Meyers and Alex Clark was the most ambitious crossover ever.

Glad I’m not the only one who was rooting for Ernie throughout the entire series.

6:56.. Dude, I'm 99.9 percent betting that the guy is her crush even though I've never seen the first episode.. don't say I told you so lol

The only thing I'll remember from this video, is that Alex has a sense of enjoyment from one of the OG magical girl animé. Props, man.

Alex: *talks about other shows being weird* Me: Hah, I know right? Alex: *brings up my childhood show* Me: Hold on now-

I loved the show. It still cracks me up but I’ve always hated how they treated Ernie too. Like that one episode where they were like “why is he so unconfident?” And then it reveals that it was because his family keeps continuously tearing him down. Like SHEESH. I felt that shit.

WAIT NO BC THE ROBOT KID WAS LITERALLY THE BEST CHARACTER I LOVED HER LMAO

I kept waiting for her blonde best friend to have been the rival spy all along, but that would've been a better show. Not significantly better, but a bit better. And every little bit counts when you're talking Disney TV shows that are in way over their head from the get-go. KC strikes me as them trying to recapture the amazingness that was Kim Possible but without any of the things that made Kim Possible such a good show.

The way they treated Ernie is ✨toxic✨

Disney also did the "parents prefering the protagonist over the younger brother character" joke in WoWP , Disney had quite a mean spirited face

Alex Meyers your laugh is still infectious. Great and wonderful.

Wait...my parents are accountants 5:01

The intro of KC undercover is a bop

I loved this show, but does anyone else remember when KC had to break up with her boyfriend after her cousin hit him with a car and threatened to kill him? That was real heartbreak. And when she kissed his eye. That was real second-hand embarrassment.

Thank you for taking my suggestion Alex Meyers!

6:18 yea i like kc undercover so ima go-

Ernie gets the shirt end of the stick. So does Marissa. They deserved better. I actually shipped the two at one point. Anyways, they were treated as these stupid idiots who cannot do anything. The writing made them act more as props than anything else. It stinks that right at the last couple of seasons, the show develops their characters.

As much as I love KC Undercover. I always felt so bad for Ernie. Poor boy.

I mean the moms a spy why wouldn’t she think that a great skill. And it could’ve been sarcasm lol 2:28

I love this show so much!!! That i have the theme song as my ringtone

honestly even with all the disney-channel-ness this isn't a bad show,,,,, also god poor ernie

Wow, I never even thought about all the emotional trauma Ernie had to suffer. When I first started watching this show, he just felt like the inferior, nerdy and kinda useless sibling that KC had.

You know, ignoring bullies actually worked for me as a kid, though it was only minor name-calling (and maybe some shoving) type bullies. Probably doesn't work in every case. And you really have to have a good poker face and not react at all, make it super boring for them. Also, this might be the reason why I have a hard time feeling passionate or emotional about anything - I kinda made myself a bit like a Vulcan and it stuck...

I genuinely thrive to have even a quarter of the humor that this guy has

Never ever eat chipotle on a first date.

just realized that Wally is the Dewey Finn of Nickelodeon’s horrible show School of Rock that truly slandered the name of the og movie

alex ur vids are so cool and awesome , keep up the good work

THANK YOUU I WANTED THIS FOR THE LONGEST
