Justice Strauss says shalom, Violet says something about a mitzvah, and Jewish music plays in Count Olaf's play. This is all in the first 2 episodes.

Watched the show for the first time in 2019 but started to re-watch it today 5 years later, just picking up on these references, and there are many!

Anymore low effort versions of the joke will be removed, but you won't be in trouble. I just want the sub reddit to remain nice and clean.

My sister and I are doing a bookclub podcast where we recap & dissect books we're reading.

We just finished Book 1 - A Bad Beginning, and I found Olafs desire to marry violet giving me the ick. There are several instances where (imo) it is clear Olaf does not plan his marriage to violet as a contract only.

Olaf & his lackeys reference Violet's pretty face + looks, Olaf attempting to whisk violet away for their 'wedding night' etc.

Olaf is supposed to be despicable, but I found he was plenty despicable without this thread. It felt...gratuitous? Unnecessary to convey Olafs evilness? Not sure the right words

What are your opinions?

Also on a side note, why is no one upset with the beadulaires parents for writing such a crappy will?? I found that one of the most surprising in my reread!

Obviously JKR is terf trash but I was curious to know which houses you think the characters would be in?

I don’t think he is as good of a guardian as everyone says he is. Like sure, compared to most of the other guardians he’s one of the best choices (which is not a high bar) but revisiting The Reptile Room, he’s about on the same level as Aunt Josephine. I don’t think making two children think that their baby sister has just been bitten by a venomous snake is a very funny prank. He also does not listen to the children when they try to tell him who Stephano is and scolds them for interrupting. He has tunnel vision towards his work and sometimes it seems like he cares about it more than the children. Feel free to prove me wrong in the comments but I don’t think he is as great as he is made out to be.

(Also, I am listening to the audiobooks for the first time, as someone who has only physically read the books, and his voice is super annoying.)

Let them,I'll get us more exposure, and rethinking it over,some of them are pretty damn funny. And , hey,I much rather have dank Snicket memes than pedophile school shooter SpongeBob. I might even resubmit for the Snicket memes alone.

in the Netflix adaptation the actor who plays Lemony Snicket(Patrick Warburton) in real life is a comedian! Does anyone else know about this? And also Patrick didn’t need to try out for the roLe of Lemony Snicket, his friend gave him the job. Why would someone give a comedian the part of a very fatigued depressed man? No offence to Patrick he does Very fulfilling documenting on the Baudelaire’s story.

I am just starting this book with my kids and I’m so confused. I’ve never read this before. Is this intentional?

why is this name spelled 2 different ways on the first page?

Let me just preface this with saying please don't comment on this if you're going to be rude about the theory, thank you.

But I was just thinking about it, and if Duncan and Quigley are identical, wouldn't it make sense for them to have been identical triplets and Isadora just transitioned to be a girl which is why she doesn't necessarily appear to be identical with her brothers?

I am a big fan of the books and have read all of them multiple times. I love NPH from Himym BUT man was he miscast as Count Olaf. I get he is trying to bring a more comedic edge to the role. It reallllyyyy is not working for me. His over the top expressions and theatrics and his musical theatre style exaggerated delivery is so bad especially next to the more grounded kids acting. The attempts at comedy come across so cringe. I hope he gets better as the series goes on becos as of now I don't get the menacing villain from the books at all.

at the end of the show we see the boat with all of them sailing away with the new baby’s who’s name i forgot. what happened after this? did they die or something? what happened to the quagmires too?

I haven't read the books since childhood so I can't speak for them so much, I'm mainly referring to the show.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they exist. They serve an important purpose in helping to keep the rotating guardians formula from getting stale in books 5-7 before it finally ends in 8. They're also a big part of why the Baudelaires are able to become interesting characters in their own right, once they become proactive and take matters into their own hands rather than just reacting to Olaf and trying to avoid falling into his clutches.

But yeesh, could the Quagmires be any blander as characters? The girl one likes poetry and has a crush on Klaus and the boy one... uh, is nice?... and has a crush on Violet. And since they're also formerly spoiled rich orphans whose parents died in a fire, they make good romantic interests for Klaus and Violet. That's it. That's their characters.

Ultimately I'm glad the tapioca triplets got shuffled onto the airship to the middle of fuckoff nowhere, because they'd served their purpose and certainly had nothing to contribute beyond being damsels for the Baudelaires to try and rescue.

The baby also reminds me of Sunny.

It would literally solve like 90% of their problems

I’m so confused because as we know unfortunately Uncle Monty wasn’t in the movie and also unfortunately it was only one movie, so I’m so confused as to where those photos are from. I’m also so confused as to Tony "Mommy" Eggmonteror, is from, and after research I think it’s from the unauthorized autobiography, but idk what do you guys think

This is a story about three orphans named Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire who, after having escaped Count Olaf from stealing their family fortune, are separated from three freaks from the Caligari Carnival. Violet and Klaus rolling down a steep slope in a caravan, and Sunny in Count Olaf's car. The children have to wait to get their fortune back before they can reunite with their family.

The Original Series and the films were the beginnings of The Lemony Snicket series. The Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events now refers to the television series and the 2007 film, which was based on the first book of the series, The Austere Academy. The story of these books takes place in a strange land called the "Snicketverse", which is the domain of an evil genius named Count Olaf, who attempts to get the children's inheritance from their parents (who have become orphans after they die). However, the children manage to defeat the evil Count Olaf in the second book, The Bad Beginning, and in the third book, The Reptile Room. The films also portray a host of other characters, such as the Coonish Baudelaire orphans' neighbors Klaus' Uncle Monty and Aunt Josephine, Captain Sham, and the Valets.

The TV series was originally broadcast on Cartoon Network in 2004, and was produced by Studio B Productions, directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, and produced by Jim Miller. The series ran for three seasons and 23 episodes, concluding in 2006. The first and second seasons featured Jim Carrey voicing Count Olaf, and Jim Parsons voicing V.F.D. (Volunteers for the Preservation of Family and Culture) member Jean-Michel (later also known as Man B) Vandegrift, a high-society man who is impersonating a servant in order to pose as a Count Olaf double. As this character was based on Count Olaf, the character was modified slightly for The Bad Beginning to make him slightly less horrid. The two actors were not replaced for The Reptile Room, as it is mostly told from the perspective of Violet and Klaus and their life in Olaf's mansion.

The series was adapted into an eight-part theatrical movie released on February 19, 2007, a year before the TV series was originally set to end. This film is also different from the TV series. It introduces a new lead antagonist, Count Olaf, who is the founder of V.F.D., an organization dedicated to uncovering and hiding the things in society that children find strange or unsettling.

Rather than developing characters over the course of the TV series, as was the case with most other shows that premiered in the late 2000s, The Bad Beginning was dedicated to introducing characters and developing the relationships between them. As a result, all of the main characters of the TV series made cameo appearances during the movie.

Funimation Entertainment licensed the first two seasons for streaming on their website in North America, as well as an abridged DVD set which included four special featurettes, including interviews with the show's creators and writers, concept art, episode guides, and an extensive set tour, giving an in-depth look at the set design and props featured in the series. Funimation also made the complete series available on their DVD release of the TV series on October 7, 2011.

Following the first two seasons, the series was produced as a feature-length film, The Reptile Room, released on February 5, 2013.

The second film, The Wide Window, featured a character named Esmé Squalor, but this character was removed from subsequent adaptations of the books, so her role in the first film was her only role in the entire franchise.

On September 25, 2018, Netflix began streaming an eight-episode third film, The Carnivorous Carnival, in its entirety. It was directed by Daniel Handler, and featured a cameo from Lemony Snicket.

CHARACTERS

COUNT OLAF, MAIN ANTAGONIST

Count Olaf (a.k.a. Count Olaf the Fourth, in some translations, in the French and Italian-dubbed versions, and also as a "bloodsucking vulture" in the American TV series) is a wicked and greedy character and the main antagonist of the series. Count Olaf's real name is Olaf I, Count of Lede. He is the eldest son of Eric the Elder and Helga, an overweight blonde woman with crooked teeth. After the death of his father, Olaf inherited the "Vole House", a mansion in the town of Ensemble in the Netherlands that is rumored to be cursed. There he founded the Vole Hunting Society (a.k.a. V.F.D.) for the express purpose of hunting, capturing, and devouring the Vole-possessed children.

In his first appearance in the pilot episode of the TV series, Olaf was seen living as a servant in a castle in Ensemble. Olaf wants to get a beautiful young girl named Gretchen over to the castle for his use. He makes his way to New York, where he arrives in a rickety old carriage, without a passport or even a change of clothes. He is helped by the people he encounters along the way, including a giant bird (played by the Count's pet chicken), a few orphans, and a kindly vagrant. It was here that he first meets the Baudelaire orphans and their guardian, Mr. Poe, in a Manhattan restaurant, and claims to be a British actor. In reality, Olaf is a notorious fraudster and is in search of his long-lost sister, Beatrice. Before his arrival in New York, he has spent several years traveling from country to country, impersonating other people, to try to win her hand in marriage. Olaf comes to a significant stand-off with the Baudelaires, but after failing to discover Beatrice, he sets his sights on the children. He then leaves the children with Mr. Poe, and returns to Ensemble in time to invite the Baudelaires to the Vole Ball.

Although he does not appear in book four, Olaf is mentioned several times, and its events are described by the Baudelaires as occurring after the events of the previous book. Olaf was finally revealed to be alive in the final book, and has already obtained most of the family fortune.

Count Olaf is renowned for being a skilled liar, and there is no word on how he manages to deceive most people he comes into contact with so often. In his first appearance in the TV series, he claims to have performed at London's Covent Garden, and in his second appearance, he is shown trying to con the Baudelaires out of their inheritance. The French dub of the series contains a scene in which he prepares to demonstrate a display of dexterity, stating ‘Look out, Bernard Samson!’ in the style of Marlon Brando's performance in The Godfather.

Since the death of his father, Olaf has run his V.F.D. much like his father, being ruthless and money-minded; he once described his life as ‘only half as much fun as it used to be’, a reference to his lack of family, because of his cruelty. He exhibits sociopathic tendencies, often torturing his victims or merely the possibility of torturing them. He also has various obsessive interests, one of which is collecting miniature pictures of babies, which he exhibits in his dungeon of V.F.D. headquarters. He also bemoans the fact that when he was a child, people, mostly his mother, called him ‘Frollo’, a name he finds utterly terrifying.

ESMÉ SQUALOR, COUNT OLAF’S GIRLFRIEND

Esmé Squalor is an upper-class girl who became popularly known as ‘Count Olaf's girlfriend’ when her name was revealed in the Baudelaires' fortune. According to Mr. Poe, Esmé and Count Olaf first met when Esmé was 12 and Count Olaf was 20, and were involved for almost 30 years until she finally revealed her secret. It is unclear why she turned her back on the much older man and his far more well-off lifestyle, but she states that she was unhappy in the relationship, even though she still loves him. Her interest in the children, as well as Count Olaf's, stems from the huge inheritance he expected to receive, which included her wedding ring. While Esmé is responsible for the deaths of several characters, she appears to be good-hearted and would not try to harm anyone unless compelled to do so, such as by the Baudelaires' parents. She assists Count Olaf in his crimes, at one point saying, ‘Please, sir, may I have a step behind?’

She, along with the hook-handed man and the person of indeterminate gender from Olaf's troupe, are also involved in Count Olaf's next play, as are the sisters. While the sisters disappear at one point, Esmé and Count Olaf remain, in spite of Count Olaf's obvious need of mental help. After Count Olaf flees with his money, Esmé helps Mr. Poe by disguising herself as the hook-handed man in order to rescue the Baudelaires.

When Esmé meets Madame Lulu, also known as Olivia Squalor, she is shocked to discover that Olivia has a British accent, and accuses her of pretending to be a countess, since Esmé still believes Olivia is ‘duchess’. Esmé also notes that Olivia was ‘trouble with a capital T, and she sounds like a real name’.

When Olivia reveals the true nature of her identity, Esmé says, ‘Well, if it isn't Count Olaf's posh girlfriend.’ When Olivia claims to not recognize Esmé, Esmé replies that her name is Ella Squalor, adding, ‘Although I thought you were a countess.’

Olivia responds by saying, ‘And how are you planning to save your new little red-headed ward?’ Esmé makes several sarcastic comments about the

audience reaction to her, also adding, ‘I don't think we're in America anymore, I think we're in Australia.’

She and Count Olaf later meet at a tea house, where they drink together, and talk about Esmé's ‘new little red-head ward’.

Count Olaf states, ‘I would love to work with a truly clever director... Esmé, a true artist could learn much from you." However, Esmé responds sarcastically, ‘Oh, Count Olaf, you know how to make an impression. I should think you would just love to watch the real master at work,’ adding, ‘One hopes you understand, Count Olaf, you're not going to get the girl.’

She then thanks Count Olaf for the meeting and informs him that she will not be needing a costume change.

AUNT JOSEPHINE, WIDOW LIVING ON LAKE LACHRYMOSE

Aunt Josephine was introduced to the Baudelaires in The Bad Beginning when a mysterious woman arrived at her house with a large suitcase full of money and was heard to ask ‘Your niece and nephew are here. Do you want to take them out in your boat?’ in a thick Scottish accent. She and the children then went out in her boat, which she left when the Baudelaires fell asleep.

When the children woke up, they asked if she was the one who brought them the cake, to which Josephine replied, ‘No, my grandson did that. It wasn't easy, though. He had to get out on his paddleboard and steer us around the duck island. That was a tricky maneuver.’ She was then alerted to the fact that the children had not paid her, but she claimed to not care, and kept insisting on money, to which they claimed they did not have.

Eventually, she bought the children a smoothie from a vending machine and bought some time by trying to convince the Baudelaires to come away with her, as she herself had nowhere else to go. She states to the children, ‘It's all right, you can trust me. I wouldn't let you come here if I thought I had to give you up. This is as far as I'm going.’ However, it was all a trap, as she dropped them off at the Quagmire residence, where Count Olaf discovered them.

When Count Olaf and his henchmen, along with Sunny and Klaus, stormed the house and tried to steal them, she suggested getting some of the Baudelaires’ money and doing something ‘boring’ with it, so the children would not try to escape, revealing that she had planned all along to get them. She later met with Count Olaf at the Rat Eat Bird Café, where she told him that she would not be their guardian for ‘them’.

While the Baudelaires and Olaf were arguing, Aunt Josephine made her escape and took the opportunity to run down the street. She was then spotted by Ms. Hubbard and taken back to the café, where the rest of the café’s patrons, the Count and his other henchmen, and Ms. Hubbard all helped to chase her down.

It was later revealed that her name was Aunt Josephine Sheard. She met Count Olaf and the Baudelaires in order to "take them away," after which they left for Montgomery.

VIOLET, KLAUS AND SUNNY, THE BAUDELAIRE CHILDREN

In The Reptile Room, the Baudelaires first meet the children at V.F.D., where Violet, Klaus, and Sunny claim to be orphans. She and her brother told Count Olaf and his henchmen that they didn’t have any money, however she was later hired to be one of Count Olaf's maids.

After Count Olaf and his henchmen manage to escape with them, they go to the Quagmire house where the Baudelaires also live. They try to have breakfast, but the Baudelaires remind the children that they don’t have money. The children then introduce themselves as orphans. Violet offers them pancakes and the children take it. As the Baudelaires were about to leave, the Baudelaires noticed that the children's mother was still alive and even suggested that she could make pancakes. The Baudelaires decide to pay for the pancakes by borrowing Mrs. Quagmire's car.

Unable to drive, Violet pretended to run out of gas, leaving Klaus and Sunny to steer the car. The children eventually convinced Violet to start driving again and they finally set off, heading to the Baudelaires' home. When Klaus realized that they were not going to bring the Baudelaires with them, he went back to the Quagmire house. Violet attempted to drive with Sunny but became distracted by her ringtone, which is an audio file of the Baudelaires as children.

After bumping into Aunt Josephine, she realized that the children are not orphans and proceeded to leave the scene, and Sunny ran to find the Baudelaires.

Count Olaf later contacted the Baudelaires to tell them that Sunny and Klaus had left, believing them to be orphans. He also revealed that Sunny and Klaus are in fact the Baudelaires' cousins, and that they were taken in after the Baudelaires' parents were killed. He told them that Mrs. Quagmire's house was on a secluded island, and that they needed to steal the Baudelaires' van.

Mrs. Quagmire is revealed to be a coward and turned down the offer to hide the children because she did not want to go back to hiding in the Quagmire house with the Quagmires.

When Violet, Klaus, and Sunny arrived at the house, they were locked inside and Olaf and his men proceed to get them out of the van.

JUSTICE STRAUSS, A FAMILY FRIEND

Violet, Klaus and Sunny meet Justice Strauss and her father, Mr. Strauss, in The End, when they're kidnapped by Count Olaf.

Justice Strauss, who lives in New York City, is the daughter of a distant cousin of the Baudelaires. She and her father met the Baudelaires at a plane crash survivors' convention. He introduced her to Count Olaf as his cousin.

Olaf asked her to take a video of him and the Baudelaires stealing money from a bank, but Justice Strauss refused. She later went to collect money from her cousin's house, as she was sent with money to pay for the film, and was taken to the Baudelaires' van. She told Count Olaf that she refused the money and left to hide behind some bushes.

The Baudelaires noticed her and attacked her, as she was holding a teddy bear that her father had given her. She managed to use her teddy bear to protect herself from their attack, until Mr. Strauss found them. He told her that he didn't want them hurt and instead promised to tell his wife what had happened. Mr. Strauss instructed Justice Strauss to pretend that they had come for their money, and not for Justice Strauss herself. He also advised her not to use her father's credit card again.

Mr. Strauss was then called away and Justice Strauss was forced to hide in a bush.

She was later found by Olaf, who had found the Baudelaires, and had the children thrown into the basement of a building.

Justice Strauss then gathered a group of children together and told them that they were all orphans. She then told them that they were destined to be Count Olaf's victims. She told the children that Count Olaf was in the basement, ready to torture them, but that he would not hurt the Baudelaires. Justice Strauss then sent the children into the basement, telling them that she would come for them in one hour.

She later finds the Baudelaires' cell phone. She lets them use the phone to call the children's parents.

MANUAL

In the 2014 film adaptation of the second book, The Bad Beginning, the criminal Mr. Poe's daughter, the vampire Count Olaf, kidnaps the children and tries to kill them by injecting them with poison. She was played by Kelly Macdonald.

In the original novel The Reptile Room, the character Senator Esmerelda Eddy is the cousin of Mr. and Mrs. Quimby, but in the film adaptation her role was recast as the daughter of Mr. Poe, and as a strict religious and moral woman who tries to get the children to abandon their new friends. In the film, she appears at the end of the film during a scene in which the Quimbys' house catches on fire. In the book, she is mentioned and included in one of the Quimbys' most terrible dreams, and has no role to play in the events of the book.

LAST LAP

The character Susan Pleakley, portrayed by Kristen Bell in the film, and, while not officially introduced until the sixth book, in The Hostile Hospital, is the aunt of the Baudelaires. In the film she is portrayed as living in the U.S., but in the TV series it is stated that she and Mr. Poe are in England. It is also implied in the film that she is married to Mr. Poe and the mother of twin boys. In The Hostile Hospital, she is stated as having an affair with another character's father, but the nature of this affair is unknown. In her introductory scenes in The Hostile Hospital, she only appears in the background.

Aunt Josephine: You don't mean "Every boat has it is own sail". You mean 'its' as "belonging to it"

Me: But you don't mean "Every boat has belonging to it own sail".

Aunt Josephine: WTF

I just feel like the entire album from start to finish has so many themes and character dynamics.

For example, the title track talks about leaving a typewriter at someone’s apartment straight from the tortured poets department and the typewriter is such a recurrent symbol in ASOUE

ALSO so many songs are love songs about unrequited love, lost love, etc which is very similar to Lemony’s relationship with Beatrice.

There’s so many other parallels that I can draw but I just wanted to throw this out there because I thought it was necessary

I’ve only read the first book, I learn a bit of other stuff from fandom

(THIS ALSO CONTAINS JTV S3 SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO WATCH THE SHOW BUT HAVEN'T CAUGHT UP)

Remember the ending scene where it looked like the Quagmires were the Baudelaires' visitors at the mill? This week's JTV completely stole that scene. Jane was talking to Rafael (her love interest) and he was telling her how he was getting feelings for his ex again (which Jane obviously wasn't happy about) but that he wasn't sure about telling her. Jane tells him to follow his heart and they make it look like Rafael realizes he actually wants Jane. So they show him run out of his room and they show him standing in front of a door that looks like Jane's door. "I'm here," he says and the doorbell rings and Jane is shocked. She runs to open the door and.... It's her parents. It then cuts to Rafael's ex opening the door and the two share a kiss. As soon I saw that scene I immediately thought of the scene from The Miserable Mill. It was the exact same twist. Anyway, just thought I'd share that little detail.
