"Pacifica's rich, she's cheating at life" is still the greatest truth ever put on children's television.

*Fun Fact:* The Big Henry scene was written by *Amphibia* creator Matt Braly.

The first code translates as *"REMEMBER BIG HENRY."* The journal page at the end translates to *"OLD MAN SLEEPING ON THE GREEN, CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER WHAT HE'S SEEN."*

Its amazing how Season 2 shifted audience perceptions about Pacifica in the best way possible. She was intentionally written as the stereotypical shallow, rich, image-obsessed female bully at first, but then ""Golf Wars" happens and we start to see deeper into her life. Her father offered no words of encouragement before her match; just a threat of not damaging the family's reputation. When Mabel offered to share her tacos with Pacifica she was genuinely confused, as if the concept of sharing is completely alien to her. These are just a few indicators that Pacifica's life isn't one of happiness and luxury. Which makes her treatment of Mabel and the others after escaping the course more impressive for her character growth. Despite being raised to not show any signs of generosity or weakness to others, she lets her guard down somewhat and chooses to share in these simple childish moments of fun and kindness. It still isn't much by those with a normal, healthy grasp of human interactions, but its a start.

"Pacifica’s rich, Mabel. She’s cheating at life." Amity and Sasha: *"I feel attacked"* *"The amount of stuff they got away with, for Gravity Falls"* Well because those risks Alex took, Amphibia and Owl House were born

It was great seeing both Mabel get some character development and Pacifica show there's more to her than a "walking one dimensional bleach blonde valley girl stereotype. But my favorite part of this episode has to be the Big Henry scene. It was completely absent from the original script and added by Matt Braly. I like to think this was practice for how he'd go on to hit us right in the feels again and again in his own show, _Amphibia._ A moment of silence for Big Henry.

Few things I love so much about this episode: - Pacifica is becoming a better person, very slowly to many but it shows. - “WALKING ONE-DIMENSIONAL BLEACH BLONDE VALLEY GIRL STEREOTYPE!!!” 😂 Damn Mabel - “Pacifica’s rich, Mabel. She’s cheating at life.” 😂 Damn Dipper - RIP Big Henry 😢 You can always count on Matt Braly (Amphibia creator) to write a dark death scene… The miners deserved the sticker, honestly. One of them sacrificed themselves, for god’s sake - Next up, the episode that millions still love to this day, but where two characters kinda sparked a trend in most Disney shows that followed, most notably with Amphibia and The Owl House (and no, I’m not gonna hint what it is, I want Elijah to be surprised; if you know, you know 😉)

"Would it be wrong to punch a child?" Stan is so funny!!!!

Fun fact, the scene with Big Henry in the mines was storyboarded and created by the one and only MATT BRALY aka the creator of Amphibia

As you mentioned Alex got away with a lot of stuff in this show. There is a cool video of him reading out text messages between him and people from Disney "checking" if everything is appropriate bevor release. It is upsetting to see how disney got upset about certain scenes with the police men but also funny how Alex responded...

Also the fact that Nathan Fillion voices Pacifica's dad is just awesome

RIP Big Henry, we love you

Big Henry scene was so emotional to me. I think that the miners actually deserved the sticker more.

I love the beginning of Pacifica's growth in this episode.

“WALKING ONE-DIMENSIONAL BLEACH BLONDE VALLEY GIRL STEREOTYPE!!” That made me laugh so hard!!!! LOL!!!!!

The French line "I don't actually know French" is so funny!!! It could become a meme!!!!!

*Soos:* Sure are a lot of stars out tonight. *Grunkle Stan:* Well, this is getting weird! One of the best moments of the entire series!!

Alex wasn't didn't expect fans to take a liking to Pacifica, as he aimed her to be the opposite of Mabel: in his words, an utter terror. Matt Braly was one to steer in this direction (and Pacifica's next appearance ;) and I heard he had that sort of arc in mind for Anne. Also, regarding Boscha's turnaround, I like to imagine Braly just stumbled upon their writers room during production.

The Big Henry scene is one of the most emotional moments in fiction. Pacifica's parents suck and they were barely in the episode (though that could have something to do with it)

I'm so happy that Mabel saved Pacifica and that they fought back!!! I think they'll become amazing friends later on.

For anyone who doesn't know, the LilliPUTtians are a reference to the Lilliputians from the classic novel "Gulliver's Travels". I haven't seen any reactors get that one, for some reason

I can't wait for her to react to episode 4.

The joke about Paz's mom actually fits surprisingly well, since she's a trophy wife. Literally, the dad won her in a yachting competition

Also in the commentary track on the bluray someone asks Alex "Did Big Henry die???" And Alex was like "He...he went to the Big Henry farm"

I don't know if you'll see this, but I just wanna thank you for just being so fun and inspiring. I've been having really bad physical and mental health issues and I've been to the hospital so many times and I don't even know if I'll make it to 10th grade by next year, but it's just nice to have something to look forward to. Sorry for the random information nobody asked for, but I just wanted to thank you.

I got so happy when Elijah said that she was eating salt&vinegar chips. Those have always been my favorite.

Oh, Gravity Falls, it is good to be back!

“I’m not supposed to take handouts” says sooooooo much about the attitude of rich people. Getting help from someone? HANDOUT! Sharing what you have? HANDOUT! Offering universe healthcare? HANDOUT!

The mine scene was written by Matt Braly, and it horrified Alex Hirch.

"The amount of stuff they get away..." You have to see Alex's communication with the Disney's S&P that he posted as a fun video a while ago xDDDD

I hope she also sees the clip called if gravity falls was an animal, it animated a scene from this episode and omg it made dipper Mabel and Pacifica look amazing as anime characters

"Is it illegal for a child to wear that much makeup?" That's a fair question.

11:02 I love how Elijah looked so happy for a second, and then it immediately went to confusion and disgust. 😂

just the french part basically saying i don't know what holy goodness as a king ! 10\10

The dark nature of this episode is just resonating more than ever before.

16:57 Something i like in this scene is that in the latin spanish dub, Mabel says "how do u say 4 in english? FOUR" i loved that for some reason

I like this episode very much. Even though it`s some kind of a filler episode it has fantastic humor and good character moments. And that thing with Pacifica is becoming more important in a later episode (which is one of my favourits). I`m just so happy that you continue to watch this series, it`s phenomenal 😄! Also RIP Big Henry, he was only like one minute on screen but he died in such dramatic way that I`ll never forget him.

Gravity Falls is back!! I'm so excited 😁

8:23 OH!!!!! The Sibling brothers!!!!!!! I’ve never made that connection before that’s great!!!! Glad to see they turned out ok!

Fact about that Big Henry scene: I can’t remember if he directed or wrote the scene, but Matt Braly (Amphibia creator) worked on that scene

11:09 it was Robbie remember? You literally saw him defacing the castle earlier

7:28 I think it’s funny how their servant is named Sergey when Sergey means :Guardian/servant/protector

The i don’t actually know French part, isn’t even “I don’t actually know french” in french- which is just so. So funny

9:44 The name is a reference to the story Gulliver's Travels. The main character stumbles onto a land called Lilliput, where the people, called Lilliputians, are all tiny. These guys are named LilliPUTTians, as a reference to that and a pun on the word "putt" since they're tiny golf ball people.

OMG YES, this series come back, soo happy Your reactions are soo good and entertenming

5:58 that made me laugh more than it should've XD I love it the golf ball characters creep me out,maybe it's the teeth,or the gums,or both 11:44 I forgot he existed,he also terrifies me

Just so you know, Matt Braly, creator of Amphibia, wrote the Big Henry scene.

4:58 I love how it says she was 9 but she looks 3 😂

Only eight more episodes to go 'til you know what. We're so close, you guys.

Can’t wait to see her react to the next one, it’s got the greatest 2-d brick wall to ever be created!

Oh, good! Happy to get back to this. See you later! :)

matt braly, creator of amphibia, wrote the big henry scene. the little girl’s name is also polly.

You are one of the very few people i actually enjoy watching reacting to my favorite shows. Keep being awesome, keep those reactions emotional, funny and genuine and if you manage to become a meme again than you know you're that good 👌

Btw I can confirm that in season two the backwards message changes 5 times your welcome so be on the lookout! Yw

I love how the theme song of this show has become a pavlov's bell for snacks.

Mutton is actually from sheep, so no, that is not Waddles cousin.

FUN FACT: The pirate golf-ball person was voiced by Jim Cummings, who has voiced the likes of Pete (Mickey Mouse's archenemy), Winnie the Pooh (and yes, Tigger, too), Darkwing Duck, Hondo Ohnaka, and so many more. ^^

Frick when they references to johns henry I remember those times repeating learning about this tall tale. And I still love it

Fun fact: Matt Braly, the creator of Amphibia direct this episode. The Big Henry thing was his idea

9:27 Now before anyone ask, The things are what we call The Smurfs (Damn those movies take me back to my childhood) 12:19 I was so ready for her to react to this part 😂😂😂😂😂

They put the orange safely tip on the gun, Disney I swear when I start working with you, those people back there & I are gonna have words!

9:40 Franz is voiced by Patton Oswalt.

I actually found out recently Dana terrace also animated a ton of gravity falls scenes too

I’m watching the show alongside you (first experience), and I can’t believe this episode made me actually feel ok about Pacifica

"You've got questions I've got scoliosis." LOL!!!!!!!!! :D:D

This is the best thing to see after work Can't wait to see more gravity falls!

YAY I have bees waiting for this to much! I love gravity falls

This episode is just the start of Pacifica being redeemed. Wait until “Nothwest Mansion Mystery”. That’s when her character really starts to change for the better. Oh also that episode is the scariest one of the entire show so just warning you now.

1) Mutton is meat from a sheep (according to google) at between 2 and 3 years old. So the roast mutton, not a relative of Waddles. Not even the same species. 2) The mini-golf people are called liliputtians. This is a play on the Liliputians from "Gulliver's Travels," which were a race of people, relatively small to the title character.

13:52 that’s literally a John Henry reference 😂

Dude the line "guys, gals, and non-binary pals," will live in my brain forever

YOU HAVE AMAZING TASTE!!!! i love salt and vinegar chips a TON too! (i know 2 people who also like it so i am happy)

I love the Rainbow star!!! I also love your desk, Elijah!!!! So cool!!!!!!

Yep, they're Lilliputtians, a pun on the Lilliputians (tiny people from Gulliver's Travels) and of course putt because golf 😁

Not even joking, I opened a pack of s&v chips right when I started this vid. I've never felt more of a kinship to anyone than this moment.

i really missed your gravity falls reactions!!🫶🫶

Big Henry Scene was the only one i noticed bc its Actually a Parody to The Folk Lore of John Henry

my two favorite episodes are next!! cant wait!

The scene with the big henry was directed by matt braly lol XD

3:56 I think that little guy in the corner is a reference to Kilroy en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilroy_was_here

salt and vinegar chips are FIIIIREEE

@ 2:32 WHOA! That looks SO COOL! I love the eyes.

I think Big Henry is the first onscreen death in Gravity Falls.

Codes this episode relates to your most recent GF video (at time of writing): Credits: REMEMBER BIG HENRY Numbers: OLD MAN SLEEPING ON THE GREEN CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER WHAT HE'S SEEN

Oh, she’s gonna love Northwest mansion mystery so much!!

So happy to see Gravity Falls back on your channekl!

Btw this episode was made by creator of amphibia. Matt Braly himself.

4:51 "That's not, like...Waddles' cousin, or something, is it?" Literally impossible, unless Waddles is secretly part sheep. Mutton means sheep. :P

I love Dipper and I know that he wants to help Mable win against Pacifica, but Mabel wanted to win this the right way.

Elijah likes Salt & Vinegar chips?! 🤯 She's my soulmate 😍

Rich Bully Mean Girl who gradually softens up around the protagonist... You get one guess to where this is going

Next episode is a big one omg I’m excited!!!

The photos make a puzzle of the what will happen

With chips my favorite now are Utz brand Crab chips, suggest trying if you can. They aren't crab flavored but crab seasoning.

i’m so excited for your “sock opera” reaction!!!

Ah yes, exactly how desert storm went WITH A LOT TALKING BALLS

Have you realized that the books have also 6 fingers, just like the glove in the final of season 1

Salt & Vinegar is a really popular flavour here in the UK.

That was an INTENSE look in your face as you made it.

Plus there is a few stickers in her scrapbook you might notice
