GUTTER TWIN PRESENTS: SPERGING ABOUT DISNEY FOOD VIDEOS ​

I made a post in the Consumer thread about TikTok/YouTube "What I ate in a day at ________" videos. I included some Disney related ones in there.

I decided to dig a little deeper into the Disney side of the phenomena. Turns out there are TONS of these videos. Some are long-form vids by YouTubers, but the vast majority are from TikTok. I will discuss the two halves here. Now you might be asking, "Hey, Gutter, where is the funny/milk in this?" Well, I think the real horror comes from the fact that there are so many of these videos. Really teaching the populace to go out and spend their earnings on useless garbage. You'll see what I mean.

PART 1: LONG-FORM YOUTUBE VIDEOS

There isn't a whole lot to delve into here other than the fact that these are vlogger style videos that sometimes give tips on the best deals and foods to get. Most of these people are not Disney Adults (at least that I could find).

One of the first videos I stumbled across was this one by YouTuber feed meimei:

Title is self-explanatory. She has a few other videos on Disney food, but her content is dedicated to food stuff in general. Honestly... I kind of like her. Yes, she is a consuuuuuuumer, but she and her boyfriend have decent enough personalities and the editing isn't bad.

I should also mention the video has 1.4 million views.

This is another food YouTuber. The video is a merciful (by vlogger standards) 10 minutes. He's clearly not a Disney Adult and is an actual cook (if a bit of a trend-follower), so his commentary is refreshingly honest.
Also, he gets weirded out by the Disney attendees at points (specifically at 6:30-6:36) which made me kek.

There's other videos like these, but, as I said, they aren't Disney Adults, so there is not as much milk to be had from them.

PART 2: TIKTOK
Abandon hope all ye who enter here.

Here's where it gets more interesting.
I don't have TikTok, so I find these videos as reuploads on YouTube. After looking through individual videos, I finally came across some compilations.

More than 20 minutes of Zoomer/Millenial chicks and the occasional male autist logging their food consumption. How riveting.

I was worried I'd hit a dead end until I saw this video:

Part 16?? How many more parts could there be-

25 VIDEOS. BETWEEN 8-15 MINUTES EACH. JFC

I guess my main question when looking at these vids is why? Why do people make these? Why do people watch them? Is your life really so vapid that you have to get your dopamine hit by telling the Internet that the Disney corndog was a little dry? I find it obsessive and pathetic.

All right, give me your hats and puzzle pieces now.

Also, feel free to put any of these vids in the OP if you want.

I'm adding this to posts of note because ewwwwwww
The "flip side" seems not much better:

Disney has had very mixed results with actually scary things in the parks, I can see them not being in any rush to try to pull in the Horror Nights crowd.

The only time I can think when they did actual scary was Alien Encounter and maybe Tower of Terror.

Alien Encounter was awesome. But a huge wtf bait and switch to send young children on in the middle of space land in Magic Kingdom.

Tower of Terror was beloved.

If Disney made at Hollywood Studios a 13 and up event with houses off of ips they own. It would get alot of attention.

The problem is Disney isnt gonna want to make a new lineup every year like Universal where they can leverage fomo for the event.

Alien Encounter was awesome. But a huge wtf bait and switch to send young children on in the middle of space land in Magic Kingdom.

Even more so was the original Stitch ride which was just an overlay over the alien ecounter ride pretty much. They had to tone it down a lot.

It has nothing to do with aesthetics and everything to do with the Jews who sit on the boards of these companies, or are also the CEO in case of Iger, being cheap kikes who will put every extra dollar into their pocket that they can and minimalism/brutalism is something that allows them to do that.

It's cheap which is certainly part of the appeal, but Eisner oversaw the creation of the Grand Floridan and Fort Wilderness Lodge, two of their most beautiful hotels and he was Jewish too.

So it's mainly just where the culture is at, everything follows the model of Starbucks and Apple.

What used to make Disney "Disney" though was preserving old architectural styles, the original Disney cruise line ships were modeled after classic ocean liners like the Queen Mary, one of the most underrated aspects of WDW is Hollywood Boulevard and Sunset Boulevard at Hollywood Studios and it's beautiful art deco buildings.

But now they follow the mold as everyone else when it comes to hotels, shops, restaurants etc.

I can see Disney going to tap, or already tapping, into Disney Adults. Younger adults are having less kids and Disney needs to make up that missing income or they will go the way of Toys'R'Us.

 

[Makhno]

lol it's a dollar store 4 Seasons proving Eisner is just as jewish as rest of them.

 

[Flaming Carrot]

I'm amazed we didn't get a thread on Disney Adults sooner. They're such an exceptional community that they've managed to spawn their own sub-group of exceptional individuals.

No I'm not fucking kidding. Disney Adults have their own wannabe gang members. Or as they like to call themselves, social clubs.

I'm not sure if these are Disney fanatics or just punk fans goofing around. Turbojugend is the name of the fan club for the band Turbonegro. One of the other pictures in a takeoff of the Dirty Rotten Imbeciles logo.

On the flipside the era of WDW older fans are obsessed with is the 70s and 80s, which were a time in which the movie division (up until the late 80s) had largely gone to seed (maybe because the company focused more on the parks?), then there's going into the era of Walt's actual lifetime but almost always if you're obsessed with the era of the man himself, you love at the first ten or so years of WDW as it's seen as very much keeping the "spirit" of Walt alive.

As someone who grew up in the early 80s, it's really strange how dominant the company is now. When I was young, Disney was a thing for really little kids. They'd watch Snow White or Dumbo, then move onto to Transformers or My Little Pony. There was a vague awareness that Disney World would be fun because it was an amusement park.

However, their live action movies were all flopping, and there weren't adults running around obsessed with Flubber or The Apple Dumpling Gang. I guess things turned around when Eisner showed up, but it was really was not the cultural powerhouse it is today. I guess I didn't know how good I had it, because Dragonslayer and Return to Oz are way better than Strange World or Jungle Cruise.

There are seven pages of these.

They all look like really cheap dresses that girls would wear to a Year 12 formal and not to a wedding. Also, I am really not surprised that they're priced in the thousands when in reality they would've only costed about $120 to make in a Chinese sweatshop. But I doubt that Shitney fags care anyway.

 

[Dom Cruise]

Still nicer than the shit they build today.

But Disney was always giving you the "Disney" version of something, ie a corporate facsimile rather than the real authentic thing, that used to be part of the charm, giving the middle class a taste of the good life, a chance to get a sampling of a wide variety of things in the world all from the safety of a tightly controlled place in central Florida!

Most people can't be globe trotters, WDW tries to give you the next best thing.

At least that was the idea before they started pricing out the middle class.

Obviously Eisner was greedy in his own way, that's never been a secret, but he was still preferable to now.

Click to expand...

It was a powerhouse when Walt was living, but that had faded a lot by the 80s, Disney was one of the few things in American culture not experiencing a particular time of prosperity for most of that decade.

But that lead to them getting experimental with the live action movies in a fascinating way, Dragonslayer, Tron, Something Wicked This Way Comes, The Watcher in The Woods, Return to Oz, all a lot more interesting than what they put out now.

Even one of the rare animated movies from the decade, The Great Mouse Detective, was a hidden gem.

What even are the appeal of Disney parks? Sad, little fake towns and sad, little fake worlds? For kids with hyperactive imaginations, these parks are the biggest disappointment. You want to immerse yourself into Neverland, feel the cool breeze, hike through a forest with adventure in your heart? Well, it's 34 degrees outside (93 for burgers) with 76% humidity, you've eaten nothing but sugary garbage, and you've spent the day standing in hour long lines, waiting for minute long rides with struggling actors and creepy mascots staring at you. In other words, fuck you.

Two inches for a small child is massive. I won’t pretend I didn’t wear my chunkier sneakers to get onto rollercoasters as a kid, but these dumb (white, of course) parents are setting up their rugrat to be entitled and bend rules, especially for their own safety.

Basically the stellar parenting one should expect from a Disney adult.

Same goes for weight as well. Slight pl but as a youngster I was tall enough for the rides, but I was also really scrawny and my ass was sorer than a misbehaving Catholic schoolboy's because the G force would lift me out of my seat and then slam me back down.

I recall that was part of the surprise when Pirates took off
"Disney live action" was a sure fire failure and probably bland shit, similarly pirate movies in general were very out of style

 

[Flatline]

Especially if that ring has Mickey Mouse ears inscribed on it. I can't understand how anyone could buy something like that and not deep down feel a sense of embarrassment.

If you're proposing to a 9/10 who's only flaw is being a Disney Adult, many, especially normies obsessed with Star Wars/Marvel, would take that deal.

 

[HandsomeDan]

I have been thoroughly entertained/mystified/horrified by this thread. This a perfect demonstration of the childless, refusal to be an adult culture that is in the process of destroying what little is left of our people.

We were treated to a Disney trip by friends of our family back in April of 2017 and took our two oldest daughters, they were young and loved it and I was happy to see their excitement there. We stayed at a massive house with a pool and did not pay for a thing and it was a great trip. Even then I was horrified by what the cost of the trip would have been had we had to pay. It has gotten even more expensive now. We would never go back as we prefer trips to natural locations away from the general public over theme parks.

At the time I was impressed at how well run the place was and how the staff made extra effort to make little girls feel the magic of the whole thing. I was also pleasantly surprised to see how un-diverse the crowd was, it appears alot of this has changed now. Early 2017 was before peak clown world had arrived so much of this insanity and tick tock videos didnt even exist then.

The only other time I had been to DW was when I was 5 years old and much of the things I remembered were still there so that was neat, I understand very much has been changed since 2017.

The point of all of this is my joy from that trip was seeing my young children's happiness. Fat adults shoving children out of the way to see a man in a costume is beyond pathetic.

I will add one interesting note about the whole thing, yes DW is fake, but it was always supposed to be. Walt Disney (who was a man of honor by all accounts) created the parks with his daughters in mind to create an idealized traditional American/Western setting to be insulated from the garbage of the real world. It is interesting that the garbage of the real world has now taken over and transformed the parks including erasing traditional America/Western aspects in recent years.

I always say that I can prove ghosts dont exist simply by the fact that Walt has not come back from the great beyond as a ghost to destroy what disney has now become.

 

[Jarolleon]

I wonder how much of modern Disney's failings is the result of them pandering to this demographic. It seems like a lot of their output for the past 10 years is aimed as perpetually adolescent jaded millennials who have seen their classics a thousand times before, and so want clever subversions of the old formula rather than anything that is good on its own. Something like this happened to the art world in the 20th century so it makes sense to me.

Edit: Ninja'd 10 pages ago

And as some commentators, like Matt Walsh, have mentioned, adults consuming "kiddie" media isn't the problem. It's that said overgrown children are completely consumed by it and are made dumber by it. And that they're genetic dead ends that won't have any children that they'll enjoy it with. A sad, sad existence.

That said, has anyone else noticed how exactly this is affecting the industry in a negative way? There's subtle hints that Disney is trying to market towards these genetic dead ends, a very bad business strategy in the long run. But also, ever notice how adult cartoons like Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel are specifically trying to market towards these Disney adults?

Said cartoons have the tone of a Disney cartoon, with any real beauty or innocence removed, replaced with profanity and unfunny vulgar humor.

I should add their live action productions are even more pandering than the animated ones. There's this one about the daughters of Disney princesses that's basically Mean Girls with magic artifacts from the clips I was shown, and the clips get hundreds of millions of views on Youtube for some reason.

I've always found most of Defunctland's videos to be fairly entertaining and informative. That one about the jingles in particular rubbed me the wrong way, at least at the very end.

His video about queueing was genuinely eye opening for me and I thought it was one of the best exposes on that aspect of everyday life I've ever seen.
