5 Best 'Gravity Falls' Episodes You'll Never Get Tired of Rewatching, Ranked by IMDb
The resolution of the main mystery, the funniest moments, and an episode that will make even the most resilient fans cry.
Even years after its finale, Gravity Falls continues to live in the hearts of its fans. Its inhabitants – Stan, Dipper, Mabel, and of course, Waddles – have long become part of pop culture.
The secret to Gravity Falls' longevity is that beneath the surface of a children's adventure show lies a deep and incredibly touching story about family, growing up, and fighting evil.
5. "Double Dipper" – Season 1 Episode 7
IMDb Score: 8.6/10
One Dipper is good, but a crowd of Dippers is strange. The teenager comes up with another scheme to get close to Wendy. The problem is that, at the same time, Stan is throwing a party for teenagers that costs money to attend.
Dipper then decides to clone himself using a photocopier. However, one assistant isn't enough, and multiple copies appear.
The beauty of the episode is that, alongside Dipper's mystical story, a realistic plot unfolds about Mabel finding friends at the party.
4. "The Time Traveler's Pig" – Season 1 Episode 9
IMDb Score: 9.0/10
The most important thing to know about this episode is that it introduces Waddles, Mabel's pet pig. However, Mabel might never have met her best friend if it weren't for Dipper.
During the fair, he receives a time-traveling machine from a stranger and tries repeatedly to impress Wendy. Ultimately, however, he must choose between flirting and helping his sister.
The episode brilliantly explores the personal experiences of the young characters: Dipper's crush and Mabel's kindness. It also features a sci-fi concept about time loops and attempts to alter significant events.
3. "Dreamscaperers" – Season 1 Episode 19
IMDb Score: 9.3/10
In this episode, the characters must fight Bill Cipher, who makes his first appearance. It was Gideon who summoned the villain, of course. Seeking to steal Stan's possessions, Gideon sends Bill into the minds of the Pines family, along with Dipper, Mabel, and Soos.
Dreamscaperers is a great example of how the Gravity Falls writers aren't limited to fairy tales and mysticism.
The entire episode is based on dream logic, in which anything can happen to the characters, such as handsome men carrying Mabel, weapons made from cats, and a light-based belly flop.
2. "Weirdmageddon Part 1" – Season 2 Episode 18
IMDb Score: 9.5/10
Many great TV series have one problem in common: a disappointing ending. But the finale of Gravity Falls, while not perfect, comes close. Technically, it consists of five parts: the episode "Dipper and Mabel vs. the Future" and the four-part "Weirdmageddon."
In it, the sinister Bill Cipher enters the ordinary world and becomes the most powerful being. Only Dipper and Mabel can defeat him, but Gideon thwarts them once again.
It's hard to find a Gravity Falls fan who didn't shed a tear at the end of the series. It seems the adventures are over forever. Or are they?
1. "Not What He Seems" – Season 2 Episode 11
IMDb Score: 9.8/10
This episode is the best of Gravity Falls – it features a fantastical story involving diaries and conspiracies, plenty of comedic moments, and, of course, meaningful reflections on family and trust.
Stan finally activates his machine to travel to a parallel world, but the government arrests him. Mabel and Dipper must rescue him, but they must also decide whether to trust him when the fate of all existence is at stake.
