Lindsay Ellis: Product Placement and Fair Use

Well, I know what I'm watching when I get home from work!

New Ellis is always a great day

I've literally been checking YouTube every day for the past several weeks to see if she uploaded a new video yet because it's been like 2 months since her last one!

Is this video also brought to us by squarespace?

Can't wait to watch this later after work!

I think I'll watch this on my Casper mattress when I get home.

It's nice to see someone who actually understands what parody is (in a legal sense).

Oh wow I didn't realize how little I knew about this stuff. Great video as always from Lindsay.

It's been a cold, cold winter waiting for her next video.

After I watched that Morgan Spurlock doc about product placement I am hyper-sensitive about it in movies/TV now.

Watching Jurassic World was painful with the Coke bottle angled perfectly towards the camera and the car chases shot like car commercials lmfao.

I saw Wreck-It-Ralph 2 earlier and I didn't know what to make of it. I felt like it didn't walk the line of "it's shilling but it's clever" anywhere near as well as The Lego Movie did.

Lindsay is a treasure, excited to watch this when I get home!

Honestly she might be my favourite YTer at this point

"It really tastes like Long Island!"

I don't understand is she saying thing bad

Like her other video on Youtubers telling viewers to "Like and subscribe" it's mostly just an informative video essay, not argumentative.

Pretty sure that was a joke.

Oh shit she released a new video? Can't wait to get off of work and watch it.

Have you been watching the "It's Lit!" series she has with PBS on Youtube?

Of course!

I'm two minutes in and loving it so far. No fucks to give Linsday is the best. Do your worst dumb dumbs.

Shit I need to check out her PBS series. Been meaning to but always forget :(

I have recently been binging the content of her channel and it's soooooo good.

Leave to Ellis to make me feel genuine sympathy for Megan Fox.

It's still autumn.

new Lindsay video, yay!

Love her <3

Eh, this one was just okay. It didn't feel fleshed out in the way I've come to expect from her videos.

Also, maybe I'm in the minority, but I find anything where people go to or talk about thoroughly average fast food or fast casual restaurants like Cheesecake Factory and gag about how gross everything is kind of off putting. It's really common, but who is this performative bougie-ness for?

It's been snowing and cold for the past month where I live. I don't care about the technicalities.
