I feel like I agree with this entire ranking, but for me, nerdy prudes is at the bottom of the hatchet trilogy :( not sure why I can't get into it. But Jagerman was AMAZING
Watched infinite life in London about 9 months ago and adored it, great video!!
My school did The Trail to Oregon two years ago now, and I was Son. I was the only 8th grader among Juniors, lol, but those guys are like my family 🫶
HMB being 2 is criminal.
I saw the apolcalyptour and it was amazing.
Our taste is completely opposite 😭
i just got into started and i now need to watch all of these!! so thank you because i really didn’t know how many plays there were!
Friends of mine did The Aliens in a site-specific performance on the back porch of their rental house in college. Audience sat in lawn chairs and blankets and we were given sparklers at one point. I still think about it to this day.
My favorites are the hatchet field series. Starting with Nerdy Prudes Must Die then followed by The Guy Who Didn't like Musicals, then Black Friday, but then my list follows a similar course to yours.
NPMD and the guy who didn’t like musicals are the only starkid musicals I’ve seen so far, but yeah NPMD is in my top 5 fave musicals ever
How in the world is how in the world does me and my dick rank higher than holy musical b@tman
14: Me and My Dick 13: Firebringer 12: A Very Potter Senior Year 11: A VHS Christmas Carol 10: Black Friday 9: Ani: A Parody 8: Nerdy Prudes Must Die 7: A Very Potter Sequel 6: A Very Potter Musical 5: Starship 4: Holy Musical B@man 3: Trail to Oregon 2: The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals 1: Twisted
putting twisted at 7
TWISTED AT NUMBER SEVEN ?!!??????1?1?
I cannot tell you how much I love starship, I literally watched it again yesterday
Yes! I love Starship!
FINALLY someone who recognises how good starship is !!!!!!! i feel like its so underrated which isnt fair because its easily one of starkid’s best shows
SAME STARSHIP IS THE BEST AND YOU CAN NOT TELL ME OTHERWISE!!
what a banger of a first video! so inspired
Starship is my top one too
SO glad you put NPMD at #2! People don’t realize how phenomenal that show is (I’ve watched it three times help). I have to say I’m surprised that Starship is your #1 pick, even though I love it as well. I think it’s plagued by mostly mediocre songs - save for Kick it Up a Notch - and being too long.
Too 3 for me: 1: Twisted (best musical they’ve ever made imo) 2: Trail to Oregon 3: GWDLM
Meanwhile my lowest two are little white lie (from 2007, it's a series and it is shit....anyway go watch my video essay about it) and Starship (I never really got into it but the music slaps)
Starship isn’t my top favorite anymore, but it was when I was a kid and it does my heart good to see it ranked so high, it gets so overlooked! I can’t say I would have ranked it differently, really, but I wanna say that I think Ani is really funny, especially as a former extended universe buff, and Nick Lang is so unbelievably good as Obi-Wan. My hottest take is that Firebringer is the most forgettable to me, which hurts to say. I wanted to like it so bad, but it didn’t really leave much of an impression, other than “Fuck no, Zazz” and thinking that Zazz/Keeri were more endearing as a ship than Zazz/Jemilla
Yes, Starship is so great!!! Also yeah I've been listening to NPMD on repeat every day too lol
1 Nerdy Prudes Must Die 2 Black Friday 3 Me and My Dick 4 Ani 5 Starship 6 Twisted 7 A Very Potter Sequel 8 VHS Christmas Carol 9 Holy Musical B@man! 10 The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals 11 A Very Potter Musical 12 A Very Potter Senior Year 13 Firebringer 14 The Trail To Oregon
Starship is great. VHS Christmas Carol is my favorite though.
rip vhs christmas carol </3
I never expected to see Starship this high, but I personally agree with HMB & Ani, I don’t get a lot of the jokes and the storyline doesn’t interest me that much, because I’m not into the superheroes and Star Wars
Yooo
I ABSOLUTELY loved your play “The Community Gardens”!
I want to write for theatre but still don't feel I've seen enough. I have the opportunity to see Infinite Life here in London. Might see it. Wish I was as ambitious as she was from a young age. I'm getting started in my 40s.
Target audience reached
Yoo starship love!!
seeing starship ranked as number 1 instantly earns my respect!!
WHERES MY BABY VHS CHRISTMAS CAROL
Where is vhs Christmas Carol or vhs Christmas carols
It’s funny how Trail to Oregon has become the Lion King to Ani’s Pocahontas.
mad respect for mamd being higher up than i thought it would be its such an underrated song
Honestly, Trail to Oregon is my favorite, but I acknowledge it is not their best. Glad it made it to your top 5 tho!!
My ranking of all the ones I’ve watched are: 1.Starship 2.Twisted 3.Nerdy prudes must die 4.The guy who didn’t like musicals 5.Black Friday 6.The trail to Oregon 7.Holy musical b@man 8.Firebringer
Man guess the other shows better KICK IT UP A NOTCH… Yeah I’ll go-
Honestly I could never rank them in order, I’ve tried but I felt guilty putting things at the bottom. I rated them out of 10 and nothing went below 8. I genuinely loved every show even Ani
My ratings even though nobody asked 1. avpm 8/10 2. Me and my dick 9/10 3. Avps 10/10 4. Starship 10/10 5. Holy musical b@man 10/10 6. Avpsy 8/10 7. Twisted 9/10 8. Ani 9/10 9. Trail to Oregon 10/10 10. Firebringer 10/10 11. The guy who didn’t like musicals 12/10 12. Black Friday 8/10 13. VHS Christmas Carol 10/10 14. Nerdy prudes must die 10/10
I was disappointed seeing Ani and hmbm so low but you made it up to me by putting npmd and starship at the top
I agree with most of this. I would have just put TGWDLM before Black Friday. It might just be because I listened to it soooo much that I’m broad with it now. But I love your top four.
Twisted and Starship >>> (though obviously AVPM is a favorite too)
watched this today in anticipation of going tonight to catch it at the National Theatre! That Uncle Vanya of hers lives permanently in my mind and remains the single greatest thing I saw in my 8 years in NY. This was a great reminder of how much I need to get around to reading the rest of her body of work
SO AGREE WITH NERDY PRUDES. I listen to it every day 😂❤
VIVA LA STARSHIP
My unpopular opinion is that firebringer is my least favourite... I never listen to those songs, don't know why
