Gravity Falls - Stan watches 'The Duchess Approves'

Refusing to stand up and find the remote leads Grunkle Stan on an amazing journey of life and love.

Too lazy to find the remote or change channels on the TV, but not too lazy to get ice cream.

[Unversed]

If you look closely at 0:06, you can see the remote is stuck between the armrest and the cushion of the chair.

Ironically, this was me when I first started watching Gravity Falls!!! XD

When you relate more to an cartoon character than an ACTUAL person

“It’s just like my life... in a way”

I love how honest he is about his character flaws. He doesn't say he "can't" stand up, but rather he "refuses" to stand up. He's owning it that he's being lazy - to the point that a movie he doesn't want to see (at first) isn't enough to motivate him to look harder. xD

Also, I just noticed the duchess has a unibrow.

*"And Grampton St. Rumpterfrabble as irascible coxswain, Saunterblugget Hampterfuppinshire"* is the funniest string of syllables I've ever heard in my life, and it kills me every time I hear it.

“Grampton St. Rumpterfrabble as Saunterblugget Hampterfuppinshire” is the best thing I’ve ever seen.

The 3 Stages of Becoming a fan boy:
Stage 1: Unwilling situation where you are trapped until you experience what you try so hard to avoid.
Stage 2: Realize how amazingly perfect the fictional world you tried to avoid reflects who you are and what you find awesome.
Stage 3: Full immersion into the fictional world in question.

Now I'm imagining him watching this, and Ford walking in on him. Ford teases him for a little bit, but then sits down out of curiosity...and by the time the wedding arrives, he's hooked too.

T.V - _I may be a Duchess, but... _*_I'm also a woman!_*

Stan - *YES! YES! IN YOUR FACE ELIZABETH!*

I love how the whole plot is that he wasn’t willing to get up to press the tv buttons but he still got up to get ice cream and a blanket.

I still love the fact that Alex Hirsch imagines this film is around 80 minutes long...70 of which are just the opening credits.

“The black and white, period piece, old lady, boring movie channel”. So accurate.🤣🤣🤣🤣

[shiruotakuno]

The funny thing is, the remote was there the whole time.
If you look closely, the remote is sandwiched in the crack between the cusion and the arm.

"It's just like my life... in a way."
Oh, the foreshadowing!

[SasquaDash]

I love how Mabel and Dipper aren't even that shocked about Stan throwing the TV out the window...

[madreel]

I'd totally watch the "Black and White Period Piece Old Lady boring Movie Channel"

Fun Fact: Grampton St. Rumpterfrabble didn't initially want to play the part of Saunterblugget Hamptonfuppinshire, but the studio eventually snagged him by characterizing the part as "irascible", which was much more on-brand for St. Rumpterfrabble's growing following of persnickety crochet enthusiasts.

I love the sheer horror in Stan's voice when he yells "KIDS! D:" after the leads are introduced.

"I CANT FIND THE REMOTE AND I REFUSE TA STAND UP!" LOL grunkle stan
