00:00No owners means no heartbreak.
00:03Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the times Disney's villains spoke for us all.
00:09You've heard of the golden rule, haven't you? Whoever has the gold makes the rules.
00:17Number 10.
00:18The real power in this world ain't magic, it's money. Buckets of it. The princess and the frog.
00:23Disney is perhaps why many of us grew up believing in magic in the first place.
00:27So to hear that even they didn't really believe in its power was quite earth-shattering.
00:31Well, until we grew up and learned what really makes the world go round.
00:35Now y'all gotta get hitched, but hitching ties you're done.
00:38You just wanna be free, hop from place to place, but freedom takes green.
00:43Now, don't get us wrong, we certainly don't condone Dr. Facilier's scheme here, but we get where he's coming from.
00:50Those with fuller bank accounts tend to have more pull in this world,
00:53while those on the lighter end can often find themselves denied basic necessities, let alone luxuries.
00:59You and I both know the real power in this world ain't magic, it's money. Buckets of it.
01:08That's true.
01:09Whoever said money doesn't buy happiness clearly had enough of it to live a comfortable life.
01:13Aren't you tired of living on the margins, while all those fat cats and their fancy cars don't give you so much as a sideways glance?
01:21Yes, I am.
01:24Number 9. I really felt quite distressed at not receiving an invitation.
01:28Sleeping Beauty. Feeling left out really sucks. We all know that.
01:32Why, it's Maleficent. What does she want here?
01:36Shhh.
01:37While we might fantasize about cursing those who made us feel bad, the reality is that we're more likely to just sit in our distress.
01:43It's easy to let our anxiety spiral down a rabbit hole, imagining all the possible reasons we weren't invited.
01:50I really felt quite distressed at not receiving an invitation.
01:53You weren't wanted.
01:55Not wa- Oh dear, what an awkward situation. I had hoped it was merely due to some oversight.
02:04We wish we had Maleficent's courage to straight up tell the offenders how they'd upset us.
02:09Although given the answer she gets, perhaps it's better to remain in the dark.
02:12Does she maybe go a hairline too far, exacting her revenge? Yeah, absolutely.
02:17But also, FOMO's the worst. So, yeah, we get it.
02:21Before the sun sets on her 16th birthday, she shall prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die.
02:31Oh no!
02:32Number 8. If I lose my temper, you lose your head. Alice in Wonderland.
02:37The Queen of Hearts is a whole mood.
02:39Painting my roads in red!
02:42Someone bleeds his head!
02:44Sure, we like to think that on a good day, we have more patience and grace than she does.
02:48But when someone really gets under our skin, we feel that inner queen rise up.
02:53Whether it's a relationship issue, unruly kids, or a boss who needs to be knocked back a peg,
02:59on the outside, we're trying to handle it with all the politeness we can muster.
03:03I warn you, child, if I lose my temper, you lose your head! Understand?!
03:10But inside, we're turning as red as the queen, holding back the urge to explode like volcanic lava.
03:15By now, we've all perfected the more politically correct way of sharing the queen's sentiments,
03:20but deep down, we're raging just as hard.
03:23What will you say, my dear?
03:26Well, she simply said that you're a fat, pompous, bad-tempered old tyrant!
03:31Not with her head!
03:34Number 7. The world is dark and selfish and cruel. Tangled.
03:38Not to bring the tone down, but dare we say it, Mother Gothel has a point.
03:43Mother knows best. Listen to your mother. It's a scary world out there.
03:49That's not to say there aren't glimmers of hope and goodness out there,
03:52but when was the last time you scoured the headlines without feeling downtrodden about the state of the world?
03:56Of course, it's not lost on us that Mother Gothel is one of the people
04:00destroying the smallest sparks of light for her own selfish gain.
04:03If he's lying, don't come crying!
04:09Mother knows best!
04:15We don't want to say Mother knows best, but in this case, we'd have to concede she kinda does.
04:20Still, it reminds us to fight harder for those rays of sunshine
04:24and not let villains plunge us into total darkness.
04:27The world is dark and selfish and cruel.
04:31If it finds even the slightest ray of sunshine, it destroys it.
04:37Number 6. He's a guy. Hercules.
04:40Hades is one of the most relatable villains because he gets it.
04:44His wry humor, sardonic tone, and sharp words can easily cut anyone,
04:48even a demigod down to size.
04:50Now you know how it feels to be just like everybody else.
04:54Isn't it just peachy?
04:57We also wish we had Hades around when our friends go on and on
05:00about their latest romantic endeavors.
05:02It's not that we object to our friends being happy, quite the opposite.
05:06But you know, no need to get carried away to Mount Olympus.
05:09I can't believe we're getting so worked up about some guy.
05:13This one is different. He's honest and he's sweet.
05:15Please.
05:16He would never do anything to hurt me.
05:17He's a guy.
05:18For all his villainy, we have to side with Hades on this one.
05:21Come on, girl, you haven't known him for that long. Let's keep it on planet Earth.
05:25And once more, but louder for the folks at the back.
05:27He's a guy.
05:28Number five. Don't I deserve the best? Beauty and the Beast.
05:32It's hard to find any redeeming factors in Gaston, but we'll say one thing for him.
05:37He knows his worth.
05:38Well, he might overshoot, but you get our point.
05:40You know, Belle, there's not a girl in town who wouldn't love to be in your shoes.
05:44This is the day...
05:49This is the day your dreams come true.
05:52If there's one thing we can all take away from this egotistical bad boy, it's that.
05:56We live in a world where self-confidence is often seen as conceited.
05:59So many of us prefer to keep our heads down than celebrate what makes us great.
06:03No one's got us well-cleft in his gym, I'm Gaston.
06:07As a specimen, yes, I'm intimidating.
06:11I wanna go get Gaston.
06:13We almost can't believe we're saying this, but we should take a leaf out of Gaston's book.
06:17Not that he could read it.
06:19And never feel shame in reminding ourselves that we deserve the best,
06:22and should never settle for anything less.
06:24The most beautiful girl in town.
06:26I know, Belle.
06:27That makes her the best.
06:29And don't I deserve the best?
06:31Well, of course, I mean, you do.
06:36Can't be bothered with that. I have no time for that sort of nonsense.
06:39We know, we know. You're already thinking, yes, this, all of this.
06:43This exchange between Shere Khan and Ka has more than one quote that makes us feel seen.
06:47It's simply terrible. I can't eat. I can't sleep.
06:52So I sing myself to sleep.
06:56Yes, we've all been in Ka's scales, but we're likely to find ourselves siding with Shere Khan more often.
07:02We can think of an endless number of scenarios that warrant the kind of pinching the bridge of your nose
07:06that would accompany such a statement.
07:08Overly dramatic co-workers.
07:10Endless group chat arguments.
07:12Family dramas.
07:13The list goes on.
07:14As much as we'd love to quote Shere Khan to some people's faces,
07:17we'll stick with eye rolls behind their backs.
07:20Who does he think he's fooling?
07:22To help this little ass.
07:24Ooh, he gives me the shivers.
07:33Once upon a time, we thought we'd grow up to be Ariel,
07:35only to realize we'd actually become Ursula.
07:38Now look at me.
07:40Wasted away to practically nothing.
07:43Banished and exiled and practically starving.
07:47She's the first to admit she's got a nasty side.
07:50Some might even call her a witch.
07:52Call her what you want, but she speaks a lot of truth.
07:55Thanks to Ursula, we'd never underestimate the importance of body language.
07:59You'll have your looks, your pretty face,
08:03and don't underestimate the importance of body language.
08:09When Ariel faces a crucial decision,
08:11give up her life under the sea or lose the guy she's infatuated with,
08:15Ursula hits her with a much-needed dose of reality.
08:18Whether it's choosing between cooking or getting takeout,
08:20or making some big life-altering decision,
08:23honestly, she is preaching to the choir.
08:25I'll never be with my father or sisters again.
08:28That's right.
08:30But you'll have your man.
08:35Life's full of tough choices, innit?
08:39Number two.
08:40Well, I suppose there's time for dessert.
08:42The Emperor's new groove.
08:44If you can't relate to this statement,
08:46then sorry, we don't think we can be friends.
08:48A few drops in his drink,
08:50then I'll propose a toast,
08:51and he will be dead before dessert.
08:53Which is a real shame, because it's gonna be delicious.
08:56If Yzma can accidentally turn the Emperor into a llama
08:59and then plot to dispose of the evidence
09:01and still find time for dessert and a cup of coffee,
09:03then you can too.
09:05We live in a world where everything is made to feel urgent,
09:08although that is very rarely the case.
09:10You see, you're no spring chicken.
09:12And I mean that in the best possible way.
09:16What? A llama?
09:18He's supposed to be dead!
09:20Yeah, weird.
09:21In fact, we encourage you to share this quote far and wide
09:24to remind everyone that there is almost always time for dessert.
09:28Just think how much better you'll feel after, too.
09:30Go ahead. You deserve that treat.
09:32The world can wait.
09:33This is kind of important.
09:35How about dessert?
09:37Well, I suppose there's time for dessert.
09:40And coffee.
09:42All right, a quick cup of coffee.
09:44Then take him out of town and finish the job!
09:47Before we unveil our top pick,
09:49here are a few honorable mentions.
09:51I might just split a seam now.
09:53The Nightmare Before Christmas,
09:54for when people aren't quite the comedians they think they are.
09:57This can't be the right guy.
09:59He's ancient. He's ugly.
10:01I don't know which is worse.
10:03I might just split a seam now if I don't die laughing first.
10:08Turns out there are lots of people, whole countries, that want respect.
10:11The Incredibles,
10:12for when someone needs a reality check about the ways of the world.
10:15That's the way it works.
10:17Turns out there are a lot of people, whole countries, who want respect.
10:20And they will pay through the nose to get it.
10:22How do you think I got rich?
10:24Miserable Darling, as usual, perfectly wretched.
10:27101 Dalmatians,
10:29for when someone asks how you are and fine, just doesn't cut it.
10:33How are you?
10:34Miserable Darling, as usual, perfectly wretched.

10:53Number one, I'm Surrounded by Idiots, The Lion King.
10:57First, a thank you to Scar for setting some of the most realistic life expectations.
11:01Life's not fair, is it?
11:04We're not saying his words turned us into pessimists,
11:07but keeping expectations low sure makes the golden moments shine brighter.
11:11Still, there are those moments when frustration peaks,
11:13and you can't help but mutter,
11:15I'm surrounded by idiots.
11:17Whether it's group projects where no one's pulling their weight,
11:20individuals who should really embrace the art of silence,
11:23or people who stop dead in their tracks to send a message in the middle of the street,
11:27you've probably got your own list by now.
11:29Perhaps one of the most unfair parts of life
11:31is the mental energy it takes not to say what we're really thinking.
11:35Temper, temper.
11:37I wouldn't dream of challenging you.
11:40Pity.
11:41Why not?
11:42Well, as far as brains go, I got the lion's share.
11:45Have you ever quoted one of these villains in real life?
11:48Tell us about it in the comments.
11:50Great.
11:51Now I'm the bad guy.
11:53Do you agree with our picks?
