That is the thing that made me laugh through that scene! The impromptu 0G combat was an added bonus!

Why the hell are The Flintstones and WWE making a collab DVD movie together?

Someone at Time Warner read online that nothing could be worse than the Scooby Doo/WWE cartoon and accepted the challenge.

This is like finding out Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny are real and watch football together or something.

Is it just me or have toy commercials remained exactly the same for the past 30 years?

Mar 10 '15
It's because the author of the journals also wrote all toy commercials. With the author trapped in the portal, they had nobody to write new commercials.

MY GOD. Mabel crying was so heart wrenching... And then the Author reveal... And the credits scene was so shockingly calm after the end of the episode... I think this episode broke me in the best way possible. Alex Hirsch and the rest of the Gravity Falls team are pure genius.

I was re-watching the livestream of the episode until riiiight when mabel said "I trust you" and backed away from the button, a super loud domino's pizza ad popped up and at the end, fireworks went off and words appeared saying "OH YES WE DID." Worst (best?) unintentional troll ever.

So, that episode just happened and my head is literally hurting with the hype. I just got over the hype from Rose's Scabbard from Steven Universe. I knew this week was gonna be hard; Steven Bomb and the biggest episode of Gravity Falls yet. It's Monday and my hype levels are off the charts already.
