[WandaVision] Yakety Yak! Open Spoilers!

The toaster also used the Repulsor sound when the toast was loaded in.

Yeah each episode is totally paying homage to the visual style of different sitcoms. The Dick Van Dyke show is obviously the biggest influence so far, but also Wanda's powers are very I Dream of Jeanie and then ep 2 has more of a Jeanie visual style too with outdoor scenes.
edit: rewatching ep 1 now, and the only time they really cheat with the camera is when the boss starts choking. Which feels extremely purposeful, as the illusion of the world is crumbling and things are getting creepy. Then as soon as normality is restored the cinematography is as well
Agnes is definitely in on everything and is purposely trying to keep her from fully questioning everything. She also really wanted Wanda to fuck Vision and have kids.

.... if we see the introduction of Spiders-Man, the MCU can just be launched into the sun.

A few nods to the avengers in the animation intro
And yeah I noticed after the "break" moment in the first episode, it went from multicam sitcom to a single cam style. Also, the set randomly changing between episodes.
I really do hope they keep doing the fake commercials tho
They are playing the sitcoms pretty straight and doing a great job of it. The jokes aren’t “can you believe how silly sitcoms are” they are jokes of that type of sitcom but in the framework of Wanda and vision
Like
"...the second shell hits. But it doesn't go off. It just... sits there in the rubble. Three feet from our faces. And on the side of the shell is painted one word."

The second ad break was for Baron Strucker and Hydra, who gave Wanda and Pietro their powers.

She also straight rewinds time in that episode.

There was a part in the commercial where the toast was toasting for like, 2 seconds too long and it was just the camera on woman's face as she got increasingly uncomfortable until it dinged.
It was very good.
Okay so it wasn't just me? I swear the scene at the pool with Dottie had some weird color thing going on.

The 2nd also has prison bars in the background, and the ticking keeps getting faster and faster The time was set to 2:42 (not sure if its relevant but I noticed that)
So it seems like the commercials are replaying her history? first with the stark toaster/stark bomb, then with the hydra prison and getting powers
It's a bit slower than your usual Marvel fare, and it is even a bit creepy at times. I personally love it, but I can understand if it isn't to everybody's taste.
Its not 1:1 but the house layouts are from Dick van Dyke and Bewitched specifically.
Mods! I’m being attacked!
And yet it took me until like the third time it was said for the penny to drop that we haven't seen a single child. Such a good episode.
They are really, really, stretching the definition of "easter egg" in these.
We're dangerously close to "in this scene, a man says a thing, which is a reference to the Marvel character Man-Thing".
Also shes pregnant after the last chant. I wonder if the children specifically are the end goal here
I like it otherwise though
Also I wonder how long they are planning to go with this sitcom theme. I grew up watching old nick at nite reruns so I love it but I suspect multiple seasons of this won’t quite work. Or maybe they are only
planning the one season?
All in the family? Cheers? Full house? Step by step? Seinfeld? Friends? The office?
What’s interesting to me is the office is super old... but I don’t know what would be a jump in sitcom style from 2000 to 2020
We stopped evolving as a species mid 2000!
Big Bang Theory time
Is there anything unique stylistically to that sitcom that would stand up compared to other eras? Seems like it’s just a standard laugh track multi cam show?
End it at a parody of The Good Place
Oh shit.
Good Place Finale:
I need to go buy all the tissues possible to prepare.
All of those X# Easter Eggs in Y videos are.
They also tend to do the thing where they go "In the scene Bob said remember that time I was in the hit movie Movie Time" which is a reference to the movie Movie Time.
No that's not an Easter Egg you dingus. Easter Eggs are hidden!
I can think of a lot of reasons for that. Biggest is that Wanda and Vision only seem to be aware of themselves inside the setting; they have no memory of how, when, or where they met, or how they even really got there. So they know their powers, know they aren't normal people, know they should be together, but don't know really anything beyond that. This only seems to crack in moments of stress when Wanda changes the "show", like she's trying to avoid reality. So her brother isn't there because show-Wanda just doesn't know she had a brother, and subconscious-Wanda doesn't want to think about him being dead.
Wanda also doesn't seem particularly aware that she controls the show. When she has Vision save his boss the first time, she's wierded out. When she rewinds from the beekeeper she again seems disturbed because she knows something odd happened, but she doesn't actually seem to know what she just did (like the rewind erased her memory of the rewind). And there's no telling what this place even is yet, so something like summoning a whole person, real or imagined, may be beyond what she can do there.
Married With Children?
Vision as Al Bundy is where the illusion really starts breaking up for Wanda.
Bring in the rest of the Avengers and do a Brady Bunch take?
