Ya he was so confused that’s why it was so easy to manipulate him

He always did give in easily to peer pressure

Especially with cute girls there

@@infinitygames9317 And soda.

Actually, in real life, it only takes a week for you to fall into the cult mentality. Scary, I know, but it’s the truth.

DC Infinity Dad died. Mom gone. Estranged brother. Bad grades. Everything to do with Angela. It was all a mess.

DC Infinity he had the best hair in the show tho. Shawn is a legend

Andrea Movilla it was a tragedy

Micah Williams damn

For real, son. Good times

"We don't go there..."

🤣

Plus they both show up on Girl Meets World. Mr. Turner becomes the Manhattan School Superintendent who got Cory his teaching job.

Didn't he end up adopting Shawn?

@@andrewthezeppo right? thats what i was thinking...

LMAO 😂😂😂

@poisonmoon123 Jason Marsden.

I always had a crush on Shawn when I was younger, so that's a disturbing thought.

Son of a bitch!

He looks like a child yungblud

At least they didn't do the ski lodge episode. That episode SUCKED!.

Dude the next season after this episode should have been named Life Craps on Shawn

That's not true, there was that time Corey punched a professor for putting the moves on Topanga

What about when Corey was drinking a lot because Topanga broke up with him?

There was also that time Lauren the ski lodge girl kissed Corey and he struggled with whether or not to tell Topanga. And that time Topanga and Eric went on a "diet" because they were "fat"

PatrickTK21 To be honest if hot girl is offering you something, run. It can’t mean anything good.

TheGreaterGood80 So basically The Twilight Zone?

TheGreaterGood80 Another good one would be if a woman approached you without an ulterior motive. But that wouldn’t be The Twilight Zone. That would just be hell freezing over and the devil giving out free sleigh rides.

But shawn could potentially get a happy ending from 3 chicks. It's a very effective way to recruit new cultists.

Bro amway did this shit to me. Legit asked me out for a cup of coffee and it turned out to be a fucking cult.

Alan Matthews is one of the best TV Dads of all time.

@@matthewlabbe8395 I agree. Alan Matthews is, indeed, one of the greatest TV dads ever.

@@matthewlabbe8395 I’ve never heard a more true statement

Alan Matthews always gave me "Would/has killed a man" vibes

Ya poke momma/pappa bear you get the claws

Minkus mentioned him off screen in BMW too

Bold One It wasn't that bad

Girl Meets World was actually pretty good, it needed Feeny though. Maybe then it would still be on.

@@kevinconleysage2659 it got taken off because they were good actually. If a show is doing really well in the ratings Disney contact states that all actors get a considerable raise after the 3rd season. That's why some Disney shows are only around for 3-4 seasons.

@@kevinconleysage2659 And the fact that the writers and producers thought that Corey could step into Feeney's shoes is laughable.

Is TV dads go mr. Matthews was a pretty good dad

Yep. When I first saw this episode, I was rooting for Mr. Matthew's. He had my respect after that.

that was real ass push

Dads before the 2000’s weren’t no panties

That's cuz back then dads were free to be as real as they wanted or needed to be, and he obviously loved Shaun...

Pretty sure it was based around the idea of the Heavens Gate Cult.

or both

@@whyphy2213 or Judaism

laser dog or Mormonism

Michael Watts with a bit of Campus Crusade thrown in

@Anthony DelVecchio Hey, ease on up. No one here kicked your puppy & I'm pretty certain we're all here because we actually liked the show and each episode covered. It's perfectly acceptable to laugh at things you like even, you might just like doing so in the end ❤

Jack Nasty literally

There was drugs in the soda.

Jack Nasty 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Jack Nasty amazing

And hugs

That dude gets around.

Probably driving his dad's Mercedes when it happened.

trever2244 Nels Zack Morris will not stop until the world feel his white boy pain and 1st world problem

Zack Morris is trash!!

@@trever2244 No no no....it was Lisa's mom's Mercedes.

It’s called recycling bud. I’m sure they would’ve spent the extra money on a new one time set if they saw it necessary.

Crimson_Ghost, was that a reference to Wreck-It Ralph?!

she was sooo cute

A hug. Who does not want a hug?

If nothing, the writer deserves one of the those old fashioned cult handies

Shawn is more attractive than that Troll Doll with a 90s mop.

Taylor Hensel you straight up remember those lines ?

"Here's my money, where's my room?!"

Wade Wilson I mean, the show ran on tv for years. It’s not surprising people remember lines from it

@@wadewilson8924 Lmfao

Eric, I mean Plays With Squirrels, was my favorite character!

Correction, they moved to Riverdale

Or heavens gate

I just researched it on Google, totally disturbing!

Ash Ketchum I think it means jack off

Sean Sheist

Well if you insist!

Funny Or Die hahaha

yea keep doing it, but only when its true the character never appeared again. He appeared on GMW

Yes please do lol

Yes that had me dead for 5 replays straight

I don't know, I dragged myself into a cult after a handy once.

rayray123ray69 Indeed, both statements are true.

rayray123ray69 you messed up

😂😂😂

Ray's World 😂😂😂👍

LOL

Mar G But...but... The 90s are perfect!

In fairness, I STILL love Boy Meets World to this day- I just did a full series rewatch last year and it totally holds up! :) Not necessarily every single episode in itself (this particular episode, for instance, *was* quite awkward haha), but on the whole? Yeah.. it's still dang great coming of age TV. Great acting, great characters, super funny, and a ton of genuinely insightful life lessons.It's definitely a cut above most other nostalgic shows!

Full house. Hope they do that show and saved by the bell college years and the new class

Joe Parise There's a nice review of the entire Full House series by Nostalgia Critic. You should check it out, it's definitely dripping with hate

Really because dont exist rigt?

And he is "A" okay! And old

Turner stays on the show

I think he also married his nurse.

@@job489 Yes he did.

Did he come back for Girl Meets World? That's nice. I actually loved how it was Minkus, another character who was written off and never heard from again, was the one that mentioned Mr. Turner in the grad episode. The writing was very meta in that episode lol

@jason lewis Which makes it a bit messed up, because Cory is played by Ben Savage, Fred Savages brother.

Aaron Kordish That kinda threw the whole episode off because Ben and Fred look so much alike!

@jason lewis omg I loved little monsters as a kid. As an adult that blue guy looks scary

@jason lewis omg it was him? No wonder he's a clean freak who hates being touched after looking into mirror and seeing that

Yes I remember that one

Roy Thingamajig not girls meets world.shit got cancle

I know but it happened in GMW when it was still on.

plus they referenced him when Stuart Minkus had a cameo before they graduated high school!!

Only because he needed a paycheck.

Well then he probably got a long recovery in a different state/country. Or lost his memory :D

It'll do in a pinch, but don't drink the off-brand diet cola. It has a nasty aftertaste.

Red Off Brand Cola is my cola of choice.

What about a hug

Monca Rodriguez well that just goes to show, Monca. You can’t always go by your first instincts, Monca. You’ve got to give people a chance, Monca..

Some Shasta or GT Cola sounds good right now.

jason lewis that’s not funny my man

Yes. The episode was made for that reason.

Samantha Moore Oh okay now that makes sense

It was also about Scientology, which was really gaining popularity in Hollywood. There's even a joke about "the celebrity room" at The Centre. In fact, Ethan Suplee, who played "Frankie" on BMW, is a Scientologist.

*your thumbnail bb*

Duh

He showed up on a girl meets world episode.

GuanThwei LP if you were a true fan you would have known he was alive during the graduation episode when Minkus mentioned him

Darrin Johnson Lmao a “true fan”. Are you 11?

Darrin Johnson -- yesssssss! Lmao, love it.

Darrin Johnson Not to mention John Turner makes a appearance in Girl Meets World and is the Super Attendant of School in New York and gave Cory his Job as a teacher.

Yeah. I'll be honest - as summarized by this video, anyways, the family seems more cultish than the cult. It doesn't sound like the cult actually asked him to do anything except be nice to people, whereas the family kinda pushed their religion onto the kid. The true negative effects of a cult weren't really highlighted.

roguishpaladin I can sort of see how this video summary might give that impression, but nah, in the actual show this was one of the *rare* times religion was ever mentioned, and the Matthews family wasn't cultish at all :) It is true that on the surface the cult depicted seems relatively harmless, but I think that's the point F1NGER was making: a lot of cults *might* very well start off seeming almost positive in nature. They're not going to jump right in with all the darkest stuff they might be planning- if that were the case, even a kid like Shawn who was feeling really lost would know to get the heck out of there. No, it makes sense that they would start by fostering a really positive connection with kids in that position, gain their trust, and at the same time gradually isolate them to the point where they *are* susceptible to being brainwashed into doing things they never would have done otherwise. Regardless of whether or not we actually see that last part, the very fact that they were isolating kids and manipulating them into not trusting anyone else in their life is what's dangerous.

As has been said, this is one of, if not the only time that God has been brought up in this show. Religion was never a part of the Mathew's family dynamic. and the goal wasn't for Mr. Mathews to try to get Shawn to believe in God, he was simply getting him to question what he believed in, trying to get him to think for himself, and ask questions, figure out what his world view is.

roguishpaladin they asked him if he believed in God, that’s it, they didn’t really push it on him.

.....you seem to know ALOT about Cults....

But if your GF is a hottie named “Topanga” who is inexplicably interested in you despite your Jewfro, by all means, you should abandon your friend for the make out sesh.

That was way earlier.

They talked about adoption earlier but his dad was still alive at that point so they never went through with it

@@marcykeeley7709 and that’s the sadness thing that the writers could have done

Alan and Amy (Corey's parents) adopt Shawn after Shawn's dad passes and Shawn finds out that his mother who abandoned him wasn't his real mother.

Ryan M 😂😂😂 brooo i lost it

Lol

So is Mr. Turner

Has there ever been such thing as a good cult 🤔

@@AmbyJeans No.

Do you really want to join a cult?

plus alienate you from your family and friends

Chalchiuhtlicue cult of the curious

As cheesy as it could be, I really loved that show

YOOOOO PLEASE KEEP YOUR THOUGHTS TO YOURSELF

I just now noticed that.

I...I didn't notice till I read your comment lol

Be careful what you say.. The Mouse is listening.

Taylor G ABC

obv they didn’t back then

Taylor G Disney didn't originally have this show

I mean there’s a show running there right now where the whole premise is a teen pregnancy kept hidden from the child, who was raised by her grandparents and lied to about her real mom, who her grandparents told her was her sister. That’s pretty ballsy to me. They have a character who’s currently coming out as gay too! (the show is Andi Mack)

His daddy was a navy seal.

That could have been an oblique reference to the folks at Westboro Baptist Church who protest funerals of soldiers, trying to get people to pick fights with them so they can sue and get payoffs.

Jess Hull seriously

Jess Hull wtf

You what?!? O_O

You must be bullshitting us

If anyone didn't catch it, OP was being sarcastic

AJ The RPG gamer Mine is Shawn and Eric 😂😂😂😂

I liked him but he's a dramatic bitch

AJ The RPG gamer Eric is the best

McKnight fuck yeh he is

Maya wasn't on this show.

HighVoltage Shock r/im14andthisisdeep

No, scientology is not a cult. The center is a cult. I want to be very clear. This is about the center.

@@YAYCONFORMITY scientology is very much a cult lol

@@YAYCONFORMITY Spoken like a true cultist

And shows up in Girl meets world.

Nope.

Nope not the only one at all. I always thought that's who they based the character off of 🤷🏽‍♀️

And Mr. Mack's secretary is probably Joyce Meyers !

Lmao, now that you've said it, I can't not see it

Nope, I thought "oh shit, it's Styles from Teen Wolf"!

This series is specifically about "very special episodes" but yes, we will continue to destroy your childhood :)

Funny Or Die Well thank you! Lol Keep these coming because they're hilarious.

If you're going to destroy more kids shows, may I suggest: Sabrina, Out of This World, and Small Wonder?

Oh they're on our list.

Am I the only one who thinks the girl from out of this world is Zack's long lost sister? I mean, they are both blond/blonde and can freeze time.

FEE-HEE-HEE-HEENEH!

Mr. Feenie followed them to college then he died.

Crazy Legs because it never turned to shit

Emily Tichenor Yeah. It just grew up a bit. I haven't seen any girl meets world.

Eric was my favorite character

his sister stacy

What does this comment mean? i dont get the teen wolf reference

It's a movie from the 80s. He played Styles; his character is kind of shady.

@@joshuahoover6841 thanks so much. I was thinking it was about the TV series teen wolf and I was so confused

@@cameronbennett8151 lol, np!

Joshua Hoover oh shit that’s Mr. Mack?

The weird college years seasons = Sabrina the Smokin' Hot Witch

Hercules Mulligan Yeah, like we didn't see you after the battle of Yorktown.....Or Laffete for that matter....Oh shit.

I don't

Correction: BMW was on ABC

He does show up on Girl Meets World (the continuation spinoff) though.

Dashiell Driscoll Indeed. Mr Turner is trash for that 😛

They talk about the adoption papers in an earlier episode, but never talk about it after that.

wow, clearly no one watched this show (no hate towards the OP, I'm here to answer your question and correct everyone else): After this episode, Shawn finds and moves in with his step-brother...Turner is pretty much written off the show but is referenced before they all graduate high school alongside another "disappearance" in the form of Stuart Minkus...and all of this episode is a culmination of what Shawn has been through. Anyone who has had their mom run out on them, dad semi-abandon them to go look for said mother for years, and never feel like they fit a particular group (this was a lead up to going separate ways with Corey as well) would easily fall in with a cult! all in all, don't f*** with this show...NOTHING has ever been or will be a greater tv series.

Ryan Cochran I mean...”Game of Thrones”? “Breaking Bad”? “Stranger Things”? “Godless”? Love BMW too, but, it didn’t exactly reinvent the wheel.

Sierra Sawyers if you write zack morris is trash the writer will favorite it. I didn't even tag funny or die and i just wrote some random message about zack morris is trash and a verified twitter that says works at funny or die favorite it

Daniel Drischoll

Yes! And we havent even covered even when his parents were together they constantly fought; always had financial instability; there are hints that Chet was abusive; he was kept from his brother for YEARS believing he hated Shawn for no reason; all the turmoil with Angela. Poor guy could never catch a break

Gabriel M lol no..

Which is funny because Ben Savage starred in another ABC series (Wild Palms, Oliver Stone's attempt at Twin Peaks) that went after Scientology. Only in that show he became the cult's leader after his secret father died and became a hologram. The folks at ABC must have done a lot of Ketamine in the 90's.

Cults were big in the news in the 90s, because of the Heaven's Gate cult and the cult in Waco, Texas and all the 50 billion other ones that were on the news every other day back then. The 90s were to cults as the 2010s are to mass shootings.

Oh yeah, that's ALSO a Disney show.
