despite his name being hardin, that man is the most flaccid thing i’ve ever seen.

the fact that the kissing booth was a wattpad story explains a lot 💀💀💀

Landon is literally the best potential love interest in the entire series because he isn’t a rich, alcoholic, abusive teenager with daddy issues.

I seriously want a movie about a shy, bookish main character... then they never go out and the whole movie is about them ignoring every trope thrown at them awkwardly because that's the true introvert way.

I absolutely have no idea what is going on in this series. Just watching it, i suddenly felt like going back in a 2014 wattpad bad boy era.

This movie is the definition of “bUt hE’S hOt!”

Oh my god I forgot about this movie! This girl I was seeing years ago asked for us to watch this together. She insisted and said it was her favorite movie. She CRIED while we watched it. I was deeply uncomfortable the entire time as in my last relationship I was cheated on and it was awful. But this girl knew that, had us watch anyways, and then told me “I want to have a relationship like them”. That was the last red flag I needed to see before deciding I no longer wanted to see this person. A week or so later and her friend sent me numerous texts harassing me so overall a great experience with both this movie and this person 10/10 highly recommend you watch👍

When Gilmore Girls did the whole "falling in love with the cute but mysterious bad boy who knows what books are" thing, at least the books Jess was into aren't ones that are on the required reading list for like 99% of the high schools in the US. And he had *opinions* about the books instead of just saying "That's a good book."

I feel bad for Chad Chad, but this is gonna be fucking hilarious

I feel the need to share with the class that in the books, instead of the dare to fall in love with her Hardin is dared to take her virginity, and after he does he takes the bloody sheets to show his friends as proof

I love the trope of: girl cheats on BF with love interest, BF finds out and breaks up with her, girl then goes "I'M SO SAD I LOST MY BEST FRIEND" like... Girl you cheated! You don't get to play victim when YOU did the despicable deed

The Great Gatsby isn’t all a dream???? That’s just blatantly false omfg, there is no “it was all a dream” twist in The Great Gatsby. “I don’t mean to spoil it but… *proceeds to make shit up*”

people named jenny are lethal weapons, i swear every girl i know named jenny was either a violent horse girl or wrote almost biblically long pieces of very specific fanfiction.

it's crazy how a wattpad fanfiction probably made by a 13 year old girl turned into a movie/series.

"fun" facts: 1) in the book harry and zayn made a bet on who would take her virginity first and needed to show proof (harry showed his friends the used condom and bloody sheets) 2) the author was on her 20s when she wrote this and she based it on her own story with her husband

There IS always a persistent character to pull the shy character out of their shell in these shows. Meanwhile when I went to college I didn’t talk to anyone, super shy - I made no friends!! Really wild 🤪

After doing that, chad chad needs to be given the veterans discount and a firm salute

I love how his giant spoiler for Gatsby, where the point was for him to sound smart, wasn't even true

knowing that in the book, harry kept the sheets from her losing her virginity with him as proof to show his friends 🤠

My best friend is absolutely obssesed with this series, I don't judge since she's actually a really nice person, but she's getting herself into a lot of drama and toxic releationships recently... Honestly, I hope she finds a piece of media that can show her how a healthy releationship looks like. This doesn't seem like a good example.

I'm stuck in isolation until after Christmas because I managed to get covid. So I've decided to watch every twinge of cringe episode over and over again until I memorize all of them.

Watching this makes me feel like I've never spoken to a real person before, every interaction was SO awkward 💀

I rate that chad chad informs her viewers about no venmo, this type of responsible content creation is rarely seen

When Tessa’s mom “cuts her off”, I assume that’s not just over her dorm but, you know, textbooks and CLASSES. Which cost a lot of money, and if her mom stops paying how does she keep attending classes? Unless this story takes place over a single term?? Idk about other schools, but at my college terms spanned 10 weeks (11 if you count finals week), which less than 3 months! I feel like I’ve spent more time stewing over this plot point than the author spent planning the damn story

Her dog's sad montage was absolutely award-winning material. Totally felt that. *Insert sad music* (Fr tho, her dog is so frickin adorable holy crap)

Chad Chad's editing is one of the only things that keeps my ADHD brain focused for more than 3 minutes at a time. Please watch all the other movies, apparently watching people suffer brings me joy.

5:27 so weird hearing Chad Chad on my team, I'm flattered. So bizarre whenever someone else is named Landon.

The fact that my abusive ex's favourite series were 'the kissing booth' and 'after' explains a lot.

I've read teletubby fan fiction with a better plot than after

Maturing is realizing Harry and Tessa’s relationship was never going to be healthy 😀

I’ll never understand how people find this behavior hot. Like there’s a difference between the whole bad boy trope and just being abusive

9:29 actually started crying. the depth, the emotion, it was so well portrayed🥲

Before she said it was a Wattpad story, I was like: "Holy crap that looks like one of those paid Wattpad stories that's on the recommended feed because everyone apparently reads them even though it seems like no one has ever read it ever"

chad chad is the only person who could make us watch parts of any after movie lolol

Fun fact this film ended my last relationship. She said she really enjoyed it and I died a little inside. 10/10

His line about the Great Gatsby to sound smart is literally a lie I'm crying 😭 The script people didn't even like look it up to make sure they were right like wth

Wow that was so brave of Chadrick Chadwick... naturally, she should watch the rest of the series

My aunt took me to see After at the theater, we both had no idea what the movie was about. The theater was relatively full. It didn’t seem like anyone enjoyed it. At the end there was the collective reaction of ‘wtf was that’ and I couldn’t contain my laughter when someone said very audibly “That was ass”

3:15- I like to let people go ahead of me for whatever, door ways, lines, etc, you know the usual. But if I was somehow blind enough to try to go through a doorway with another human right next to me and they said 'after you' I'd be like "see ya!" and skedaddle right out from embarrassment of being so unaware.

4:03 okay but like... why is the actress so damn pretty though?

chad torturing herself for us again 😩

She's an icon, she's a legend, and she is the moment

10:00 Come on, what college professor would be in kahoots with one of the boys in her class and give his love note essay to one of the girls. Obviously, or at least hopefully, the teacher has the intelligence to understand that they are both young, their drama is childish, and it is only going to cause trouble for both of them for her to get in the middle of this. Either the teacher can back away slowly, or she can ask Tessa if she is ok after this terrible toxic boy used and manipulated her.

3:49 in 3 lines, you built a character that awoke quantities of hate I didn't know I had in me. Great video

I enjoyed the sad montage of Chad Chad’s dog more then the rest of this series 😭😭😭

The "Twinge of cringe" is my form of oxygen

One of the things I enjoy about Chad Chad's content is how she's usually always pretty cool and calm during her videos. But this is the maddest I think I've ever heard her. Having seen these movies, I don't blame her.

go to 9:05 for chad chad's dog yoga class.

If you're team Landon now, you'll bash your head against the wall when she sidelines the successful, caring, charming Dylan Sprouse character in favor of lusting after Hardin in the second movie. And yes, I watched the series in an emotional time in my life. Ngl, the angsty teen romance in the first one was exactly what I needed at the time but her idiotic decisions in the second movie just completely turned me off from the series. Dylan Sprouse's character is seriously painted as an almost perfect man but she wants angry boy with daddy issues instead 😭

I read up to book 3 when they came out in the physical format, and I was freaking 13 years old. The movies are quite toxic but much better than the books, they actually toned them down A LOT. Hardin in the books is far more unlikable and cruel: in the bet he actually kept the used condom and the BLOOD STAINED SHEETS from when they had sex as proof; he's really possessive and manipulative; he had a serious alcohol addiction and anger management issues than are NEVER treated or taken seriously (zero character growth); he's a GASLIGHTER; there's no communication in their relationship and the only way they solved their problems wad through sex. And (TRIGGER WARNING) in the book the scene where he talks about his dad explains that the consequence of him being in debt with the wrong guys and not being home was that said guys broke into his house and gang r*ped his mom in front of him.

3:44 Guy looks like if Zendaya was born as a guy not a girl.

"When I heard your mom was cutting you off I had to make you financially dependant on me" no red flags here

The after serious hurt me physically and mentally in every shape and form

Listen, I'm all for authors getting their works turned into films. That's great for them, but sometimes we need people to look at our work and tell us why it's bad.

10:11 amazing MLA format

Chad. Chad its been like 20 months. Where is part 2. Chad we need it.

If he really was British and called Hardin, he would of definitely got called Hard On at school 🥴

9:28 i actually really teared up at that moment, idk i just found it very moving and i think the artistic choices of music, lighting, angle.. Everything was put together beautifully and made it very insightful to see the depth of the character on screen

9:35 its the butterscotch tele for me dying rn

obsessed with the essay title being How to Gaslight, Gatekeep, and Girlboss

The only way to watch AFTER is to watch it through Chad Chad's eyes

chad chad i must say, i just started watching your videos not too long ago and i regret not finding you sooner. your comedy is just right up my alley and the way you're so genuine makes this feel like a very safe space

7:02 vivian from legally blonde deserves better than this movie

I read the book! It was actually quite entertaining (though awful) until suddenly... it just wasn't, it got thoroughly disturbing

if you take out the fact that its not comedy, and pretend its comedy, its amazing

this show was kinda like life for me i literally have no idea what’s going on the whole time

bro, you‘re so wholesome, I love listening to your videos in the morning whilst doing my make up :D love ya

Jardin seems like Timothee Chamelet in Lady Bird, but without Lady Bird having a character arch where she figures that he's just an asshole

9:20 ur doggo voice is the best I've ever heard ❤️ like I can't get over that "der you go" 😭

the dog sad montage is just what I needed today, thank you

Thank you for taking one for the team Chad Chad, so glad I didn't watch this myself and can still enjoy snippets of it through your commentary

the fact that Chad Chad's dog was a more interesting actor than everybody in the movie sent me

At least she is being optimistic....Chad should get a medal. Also your dog was the highlight.

I appreciate that you’re always appreciative of us watching your videos, so I wanted to share my appreciation of your appreciation even though I appreciate that you put time into making good content. I also appreciate the excuse to say appreciate this much.

I watched this just as you hit one million!!!! Congratulations 🎈🎊! So proud of you!

8:12 MY ACE ASS COULDN'T AGREE MORE

4:47 Please tell me I'm not the only one who heard "whatever arseholes are made of"

the ad was great i watched through the whole thing cause it was just so captivating. the cinematography, the voiceover, fantastic

i hate how today's media and influencers are making toxic relationships an "aesthetic" and something to be romanticized and accepted ffs

"I *Landon* on crime" 7:37

Storytime: I was browsing on wattpad when I was like 15(??) and I came across this story and I read the description, seemed cool, so I started reading it. Let me say now that I did not read the tags-(which you should definitely do on these sites-) I just checked if the description was interesting and if it was completed bc I’m sure a lot of people can relate to being super frustrated for finding good stories and then they’re discontinued (I know stuff happens but still) So anyway- I’m reading this story and some of the names of the guys this girl meets are...odd, like familiar odd, first she meets a guy (I can’t remember if it was Louis or Niall I think it was Niall Horan) now I didn’t know WHY but the name stood out but again- I didn’t know why- so I kept reading, then she meets a Liam Payne and he’s either with (I think) Louis Tomlinson or she’s dating a drab dude with that name (this was so long ago) and I’m like “okay- these names are REALLY familiar but w h e r e - Then she meets a Zayn Malik- and I’m like- bro wouldn’t it be funny if this was a 1D fic bc it’s starting to seem like one- and then she meets the love interest- HARRY FUCKING STYLES. I L O S T IT . I don’t really care if other people like fan fiction about real people but to me it’s a bit weird when they’re like an actual person (ig bc I don’t wanna see them in that light) so I stopped reading after a while and forgot about it Then Kurtis Connor makes a video talking about it then I was like “man this plot is really familiar-“ AND THEN ITS BASED OFF THAT STORY THEY JUST CHANGED THE NAMES I LOST MY SHIT PART 2- And now I find this video I swear the universe just doesn’t want me to forget about the time I accidentally read 1D fanfiction😭

im still watching this after 2 years thats how much i love this video

Her reactions are sooo relatable, that's postivitely pleasant.

hearing the "twinge of cringe" brings me happiness

I'm an author on Wattpad and when I heard it was being made into a movie, I had never read it, but knew it was quite the popular fan-fiction. I was super curious as to how they were going to pull that off. Just as horrible as anticipated and I wonder how awful the story was. I'm genuinely shocked a woman older than me wrote the story/stories and thought such an abusive relationship was adorable and that people actually loved it. I clearly have a lot of problems with these haha.

I absolutely live your sponsor, these kind of things are so important and its time companies acknowledge that there’s a lot of body types and ways to express yourself without wanting to fit in stupid unattainable and unnatural standards. Feels good to be represented💖

my friend and I watched all these together. even saw the last one in the theater 😂😂 it was so painful but watching you comment on them is cathartic. please do more!!!

4:35 IKR! Noah was supposed to be like, the "nice guy" or whatever but he seemed borderline crazy... KInd of like he was going to snap because she went out without him oNCE. LIke omg and he was all "I'm dissapointed in you."

This is the worst form of self harm

I watched all your videos today after watching this one. You're one of the most refreshing content creators I've stumbled on in a while. I especially love your editing style. Super excited to be subscribed and see where you go.

Your dog is so cute! Their sad montage was just adorable!

I always watch After with my boyfriend to have a good laugh . When we meet a new person , sometimes we ask them about this movie , and if they like it, then there is something wrong. I know you shouldn't judge someone by their movie preferences, but strangely people who like this turn out to be toxic.

My sister was obsessed with the book series and movie series. I had to hear all about it against my will

This was the first of your videos I ever saw. A nice introduction to the rabbit hole that is now my sense of humour.

You deserve an award for watching it! Just the clips you used for it were so traumatic it made me take my neighbour hostage!

The fact that The Great Gatsby wasn’t just a dream in the end

I appreciate how on the word document it said “how to gaslight gatekeep and girl boss “

7:25 "...I had to do something, so I did your mom." Notsorry I just binged most of your videos my brain is dying from TikTok rot send help.

I would love another video on this, she makes it so interesting because I would never watch this movie willingly and this is perfect.
