misc faves

other video-type content i like and return to regularly.

story animation

single stories in one animated video (shorts, cartoon pilots, no-dialogue stories set to songs, etc).

  • Bambee: bambi parody my siblings showed me as a kid - i was super into it for some reason, so it deserves to be here
  • Cockroach: cute little domestic video about a dog and cat couple dealing with a cockroach
  • Diamond Jack: a rollerskating thief โ€“ย love the vintage sound of the song, and the animation is so fun!
  • ใ€Œใƒ—ใƒชใƒณใฎใ†ใŸใ€(Jigglypuff's Song): my favorite poketoon! it makes me teary.
  • LOUISE: really beautifully done short film about the dark side of professional ballet
  • Mascot Prep: cartoon pilot about mascots learning how to be mascots lol. main character (voiced by mitchell musso!) is fucked because he has no product yet
  • NERVOUS: a nervous dog is left at a doggy day care
  • omelette: no talking, just music and a sweet little french bulldog (or boston terrier? can't tell) who can cook
  • Perils of Love: cute animation i saw as a kid about... obviously... the perils of love. set to a french song!
  • ๋–ณ๋‹ค ๊ทธ๋…€!! (There she is!!): a bunny falls in love with a cat in a world where interspecies romance is forbidden. extremely good; you get emotionally more invested with each installment (compiled here nicely in one video)
  • There's a Man in the Woods: well-written, unsettling spoken word story, but the animation enhances it x10
  • Try our Lusty Man TV Dinners!: silly fake commercial my siblings showed me as a kid - shaped our humor somewhat
  • Welcome to My Life: i watched this as a youth and loved it. love how the monsters look, love the mockumentary style and sweet tone, and love the commentary on asian americanism

(top?)

standup

what it says on the tin. it's kind of hard to find well-compiled lists of standup videos... this too will not be well-compiled.

  • john mulaney: New in Town, the Comeback Kid, Kid Gorgeous, Baby J, all on netflix i believe. (i really don't care about his personal life atp, i just think he's funny)
  • hari kondabolu: loveeee him. i've seen Warn Your Relatives (netflix) and Vacation Baby
  • sindhu vee: i have yet to see a full special by her (no access) but i like this performance of her live at the apollo, her delivery is everything lmao
  • gianmarco soresi: you should just follow him on any social media bc everything including his crowdwork is great - but here's him on the late late show, comedy central, and don't tell comedy
  • ashley gavin: she has a full special!!
  • sabrina wu: they're so real to me...

  • this official performance of Sexy from mean girls on broadway
  • Love on Top, recorded by the barden bellas of pitch perfect
  • Ex-Wives, recorded by the worldwide cast of SIX

the anti-rec list

a section for things people kept recommending so much so that i got fed up and made the executive decision to never watch them. that or i tried and simply didn't vibe with them. some of them are also shows/movies i have beef with for no reason. don't talk to me about these shows/movies unless you also have beef with them

  • nimona
  • any of the harry potter movies
  • bear. the bear? whatever that one
  • star vs. the forces of evil
  • wotakoi
  • friends, seinfeld, HIMYM, the office
  • rick and morty
  • the good place

taste

i'm generally bad at consuming any audiovisual media, because i hate that i have to go at the pace of the media (rather than be able to skim or read quickly like i would with text or purely visual matter). it's a level of concentration i can't muster most days unless i have a good reason to. i also have an obsessive personality, so if i watched too many good movies in a row, i would probably go insane.

as a result, i consume a lot of lighthearted stuff, or rewatch things i saw during childhood/adolescence i can play in the background for comfort so i don't have to take in anything new. i like lots of other movies but it's hard for me to consider a movie a fave if i can't rewatch it all the time. for example: eeaao made such an impact on me but it also bodied me emotionally and i can never watch it again lol

i'm trying to expand the range of things i'll see these days, though, and there are many exceptions to my preferences. but i just wanted to make a list. so here's a list of some patterns i've noticed in the shows and movies i tend to like.

stuff i'm drawn to

  • slice-of-life, modern settings
  • COMEDY!!!!! i love joy i love laughter
  • character-driven stories (over plot)
  • fun ensembles
  • anything with a cute guy i can fixate on
  • anything with a cute ship i can fixate on
  • animation. i can take anything in the list underneath this one if it's animated in a cute style
  • asian representation
  • musical numbers
  • "chick flicks"
  • the complicated ordeal of being part of a family
  • for cartoons: i prefer story-driven cartoons in general, but prefer their contained episodes/one-shots to the plot-heavy ones. the pickiest cartoon enjoyer alive

stuff i tend to avoid

  • sci-fi
  • fantasy
  • anything too serious or dramatic
  • extremely white movies...
  • bad teen romances
  • isekai anime
  • things with lots of specific terminology
  • romance that is Too cheesy
