The GPA-scale stands for Grade Point Average. Getting a 4.0 on the GPA-scale means your average is A. Sometimes it's possible to get a GPA of 5.0 if you're taking high level classes. That's how I understood it. The other part, 'OG', means Original Gangster.
Yeah, they comment on it in the episode. I can't remember who says it offhand or the exact wording, but it was something like "Hey, she looks like you used to."
This was after her secret was exposed on the party bus. She made it very clear that she was unhappy and she had no life because she was consumed by her job. Even if she passed over 500k, I think her half-truth of an excuse aligns with that fact. It would be expected of a former workaholic.
Shouldn't that burn come from Koushun Takami given the specific themes in those books? I mean, I love Ray Bradbury as much as the next gal but it seems that it wouldn't be as much of a fair comparison regarding genres. Maybe a tiny zing from Stephen King mentioning Schwarzenegger?
Audra stole the round with her very last line. Rebecca gave it away by trying to extend the olive branch. I guess Audra is truly strapped with the killer instinct that Rebecca lacks.
She's actually the most advanced dancer and singer in the cast. She's a three time tap dancing national champion. Her character doesn't often make use of her skills.
It’s so wild to see Curt Mega absolutely tearing it up as the one lawyer dancer. Like I almost solely associate him with Starkid/Tin Can Bros in Spies Are Forever so it’s weird seeing him......other places.

@@bethwinchester thank you! I wasn't getting it because my mind went to the legal/juridical semantic field, since they are lawyers (like "birthright" in matters of succession or inheritance) :D
I'm impressed that there's an alternate version that not safe for broadcast. I like this version better, not for the explicit lyrics, but for the tighter choreography. Rachel Grate just killed it with her spot on moves and expressions.
+Cande Crush I really need to watch the next one, because holy cliffhanger batman, but I've done this stupid thing where I agreed to watch them with my mom, and she's away . . . I mean, she's off meeting her new granddaughter, but like COME ON! What about Josh and Rebecca?!
The actor Peter Gardner (Darryl) has a dog in this fight. He actually DID grow up in Scarsdale! Apparently Bloom had no idea. Growing up, Gardner probably attended more neighborhood bar mitzvahs than Bloom has.
The whole song is this intricate thing, filled with clever word play and phantastic flow... and then out of nowhere they just rhyme: "It's a JAP battle / You're an asshole". It's so dumb, I love it.
Everything about this musical number is perfection. Everything from the way Audra straightens her suit while dancing from the way that josh raises his hand while gliding in a chair
Just saying but as an avid starkid fan I saw Curt Mega and immediately went over to the internet to see if he was in this episode and Im very proud of myself.
I hope Audra shows up on this last season in the throes of her own mental breakdown. It would be fitting since she's always two steps behind Rebecca, anyway😊
Hi, Rachel! i'm brazilian, i discovered crazy ex-girlfriend by luck and since that day i started to love it and been a fan. I saw your enterview on Seth Meyers's Late Night and the part that you spoke about bad reviews on your youtube page just crashed my heart. So, i decided to stop by and spend a little of my time to say that you are a very talented person, crazy hot and the sexy getting ready song and a video about Space Jam are two of the finest jewels that you are producing. Anyway, pardon any mistakes in my english... google translator helped me a lot, lol. I wish muck more sucess in your carrer! kisses and hugs!
One of the best moments from the show's first season. One of the best moments of TV from 2016. Quite possibly one of the best moments on TV ever. So freaking epic.
I loved this to begin with and then I realized that Curt Mega is one of Audra's backup dancers and I can't stop watching him everytime the camera is on him. Those faces are hysterical.

Phryne Mnesarete i lived there for a while and its a very wealthy area with a very large jewish population outside of nyc. We had some of the best test scores in the country and often were put in tue top school districts. Its basically a suburb for wall street executives to settle down and have 3 kids.
Last I heard, 1st and 2nd season they're now past SEVENTY original songs for the show. and still counting. The ones that could be considered 'not that great' you can count of the fingers of one hand. And you'll probably include someone's favorite.
I’m on season 1, watching for the first time. I watched this about 12 hours ago today. I’m almost will to bet money that in the rest of the entire show *there will not be a better song than this.*
"I put the "O.G" in 5.0 GPA." that line is pure genius
I had to look up the meaning of the GPA-scale to get it, but yeah, it actually is really clever!
can we (non-american viewers) get an explanation for this joke? :)

Agreed my fave line xx
The unsung heroes are Darryl doing his best middle-aged white guy gangster dance, and the lawyer on the left who's always making a weird face
Now I have to watch it again to look at the lawyer on the left!
The lawyer on the right got my attention too! 😄 They're all amazing artists!
Curt Mega!

I guess Audra's next case is Barry B. Benson vs. the human race.
ludgate dwyer So glad Im not the only one who realized shes Vanessa
Audra has the same hair and is wearing the same outfit Rebecca was during the first episode.
holly fuck that's a juicy detail I didn't catch
In the show they even did a flashback to the first episode when she was dressed like that.
It shows how much Rebecca has transitioned since she moved to California.
Yeah, they comment on it in the episode. I can't remember who says it offhand or the exact wording, but it was something like "Hey, she looks like you used to."
They even adress this at the show dont they? I dont remember how exactly
I've always wondered why Rebecca didn't include a line about how Audra only got the promotion because she passed on it.
OCswimKim3 Political message durning election!
Because if she did then everyone would know that she lied about why she was in west covina
C. Powell But didn't they already know that she moved because she was unhappy?

Coz' she lacks that killer instinct
The last line that rhymes "Dead Sea, word" and "dead, c-word" is brilliant.
Andrew Hess ok sand here i was thinking it was "you're dead, see. Word!"

Rachel needs to do Epic Rap Battles of History.

Suzanne Collins Vs Veronica Roth and then Ray Bradbury comes in at the end to burn them at 451f... Mic drop...
Or Princess Rap Battles. I like those a little better, but there aren't as many.

Paula's actress is tearing up she's the best background dancer out of everybody
Kate
I was watching her the entire time too really dope moves😆😆😆
She's actually the most advanced dancer and singer in the cast. She's a three time tap dancing national champion. Her character doesn't often make use of her skills.
She may have been at one point, but saying anyone other than Vincent is the best dancer is simply insane.
I absolutely love the way Audra says "Remember?!"
It’s so wild to see Curt Mega absolutely tearing it up as the one lawyer dancer. Like I almost solely associate him with Starkid/Tin Can Bros in Spies Are Forever so it’s weird seeing him......other places.
Yes yes yes!!
I love crosses between cxgf and starkid fandoms!!
as soon as i saw this episode i looked it up haha
I only learned of crazy ex girlfriend because of starkid and I am so glad I did.

She minored in urban planning...🤣 🤣
Obviously Rachel is the greatest,
but the girl playing Audrey is probably a better rapper (as she was probably cast to do this scene specifically)
I agree. but I also think it was on purpose since Levine was the one with the "Killer instinct". Also she was a natural mean Girl.
Both actresses are called Rachel so I agree.
She's definitely hotter.
Keep in mind Rachel (the main character) also writes this stuff too.
I knew she was a genius from the first episode. It's just astonishingly good on so many levels.
"She looks like the woman from The Bee Movie"

At wich moment?
Audra Levine's physicality as an actress in this, is amazing. Even the variation that they put in the episode. omg. #respect
Exactly what I thought- looks like straight out of Rap Battles of History or something.
I think my favourite part is Audra Levine's aggressive "REMEMBER!" at 2:12 lmao cracks me up
woah the explicit version is so different but a lot better
I'm impressed that there's an alternate version that not safe for broadcast. I like this version better, not for the explicit lyrics, but for the tighter choreography. Rachel Grate just killed it with her spot on moves and expressions.
Curt Mega is the best NY attorney. He looks way more into it than the other two. I love watching his dancing and facial expressions.
You should watch Spies Are Forever. It stars him!
"Spies are forever, it's a musical. Spies are forever, it's about spies."
I found my people! I loved watching this episode because I just looked up and A Wild Curt Mega Appeared!
I know right.
I didn't even noticed it was him! Awesome! Spies really are forever!

I just want to applaud everyone in the background and point out Josh just whizzing across the screen on a chair. Also Audra is so beautiful.
Boy, it's hard to pick a favourite line they are all straight badassery. Also love how Audra says "remeber?" at 2:12

I grew up in Westchester… accurate summary of westchester Jews, I lived in Ardsley which was hella Jewish this is what it was like
me too, i love all the westchester references in this song too
aegiswings what part did you grow up in? I grew up in mount Vernon then Ardsley hby
eyyy Westchester! New rochelle over here! Every mention is so true
Rye. Try being a Jew there. SMH.
Tamara Jacobs Ardsley was the worst! Everyone was very snobby

i always come back here, once a while.
i love this. it is smart and salty, just how i like my songs.
The hype crews in the back are the real mvps of this video! Especially Josh Chan and Curt Mega! But Audra Levine also kicked serious ass

I got into this show like,, two years ago and I’m JUST learning that Curt Mega was one of Audra’s iconic background guys I love him-
Rachel Bloom is great, but also the actress portraying Audra Levine, Rachel Grate. Great performance.
The more I watch this the more I see amazing stuff in the background from the support characters.
every time i watch this i watch someone else bc everyone in this video is reaally going for it and it's incredible
gayferre same!!! The guy behind Audra to the right is hilarious 😂
Ikr, the expressions and mannerisms are hilarious
I love that you can put up these explicit versions! Now if you'll excuse me- I'm off to BJ Novak's ecstasy factory...
If only I could like this a thousand times! Rachel your show just gets better and better. Love the reprises thi episode!
Darryl's dance moves are EVERYTHING.
As a Jewish America woman I relate to this hard.
No one is talking about how Zach sherwin, a prominent ERB writer, wrote this. That’s AWESOME
"Frenemies at first spite" is one of my favorite lines in the whole show.
"From Golden's Bridge to North Castle".. OMG tears!
1:05 “are you AP graded? because these days you look heavily weighted” is such an underrated lyric
Only now realising one of those lawyers is (agent) Curt Mega.
YES 😔🤘🏻
If that's his real name -_-
I will never get tired of this song.

And Pete Gardner is actually from Scarsdale. He's more acquainted with that scene than the LA born and raised Rachel.
This was the best thing that show has done.

The dances everbody does in the background are masterpieces
if there is a slam heavier than 'you minored in urban planning' i haven't heard it
Last I heard, 1st and 2nd season they're now past SEVENTY original songs for the show. and still counting. The ones that could be considered 'not that great' you can count of the fingers of one hand. And you'll probably include someone's favorite.
I have watched this an unhealthy amount of times.
josh’s faces in the background are the best thing about this

This song is fire, but any one of the Greg songs tops it in my opinion xD
oh you're in for a fun ride
Only if you dont care about zoos.
All I'm saying is that fit hot guys have problems too
Greg could do a better song if wanted to
