@@blazypika2 that's true Venessa tries to stick to script as much as possible and she does have a problem with spontaneity and Dennis doesn't help much with that.
He and Jonathan probably have the easiest roles. Dave can corpse all he wants, whilst Jon wrote Dennis struggling with lines because he struggles with lines, allowing prompts in-show
I love it how in the "tone matching" bit (about 3:47) it looks like Max is supposed to be grinning at the audience like usual, but Dave Hearne is visibly *fighting* to keep it a grin and not outright burst out laughing.
Honestly, I wonder if the actor who played Max really was trying to hold back his laughter right there. I mean his facial expression looked pretty convincing.
@@ryanstauffer119 idk if you watched the "Goes Wrong Along" their TH-cam channel just put out, but they said that Dave (Max) was laughing for real, and that you can always tell when he's truly lost it cuz he cries lmaoo
Max is playing like the gremlin Character (probably a bard) who can’t figure out any of the riddles Chris makes but keeps passing his skill checks so his character is just amazing even tho Max isn’t quite sure what’s going on half the time
4:52 I love how in the watch along they confirmed that was the third take of that bit and that was genuine annoyance and cry laughing on both their parts
I'm playing Max right now in TPTGW in my city, and... yeah, man. It's intimidating to try and be THAT lovable AND goofy (*AND TALENTED) all at the same time. Like, breaking the 4th 🧱 while trying to NOT LOOK LIKE you're meaning too (and that you're just that...happy-go-lucky/clueless/in-the-moment, etc!) is both difficult and cool AF. Only wish we could see THE ACTUAL O.G. Broadway show and cast. But...apparently, you can't buy it, bootleg it, or sell a kidney for it. To quote the late, great, Heath Ledger: "...it's-it's GONE."
Congrats on playing Max!!! I hope that you are having fun. Best of luck to your production!! Concerning boots, free to message me tumblr (personinthepalace.tumblr.com) or email me (personinthepalace@gmail.com) and I might be able to help :)
That's awesome! Assuming you've done it by now, I hope all went well. The writer in me, however, has to point out that it's "try to," not "try and." I see/hear that grammatical error so much and it makes my eye twitch every time. 😂
I saw two episodes of this show and thought "they've clearly already done all the things that could go wrong." Nooe, they kept finding new ways to accidentally screw up on purpose. Comedy gold the whole way through.
Max is just here with his buddies and his girlfriend trying to have fun and do theater, on tv or in the back of an alley. He’s just enjoying himself and vibing the entire time while everyone else is being super serious. Man with one brain cell that he refuses to use for anything proper
@RikuVAnueva that bit made me laugh so much, i knew the blood would work at some point (thought it would be when they didnt want it) but i didnt expect it to spray like a fire hose at chris! it makes me laugh watching him laugh whilst hes being sprayed tho, and max's proud grin too!
Because "Chris" is a professional and takes his job seriously. Like, I am a goofball and love dicking around and making people laugh. But when I am actually doing a scene in front of people and the person I am acting with messes up, it bothers me, especially if they throw me off. Sorry, didn't mean for this comment to sound so bitchy! Lol Was just explaining that I get how Chris feels.
In the goes wrong universe, max is probably the best actor if it weren’t for the fact that he clearly has adhd and peacocks whenever he sees the audience
I think you mean Henry. 😛 His character is Chris and is so serious that I highly doubt he'd find it funny. His actor, though? I'm sure he wanted to break character so bad. 😂
It's nice that at least Max is always enjoying himself even when things go wrong. And of course he gets to go home with Sandra each night after the show so can't complain in any case...
@@GediSpock Great point of view. But I recommend seeing all of this in context. The idea is actors that tries to make a play go wright, but keeps messing small things up. I love it. They get in quite a range of comedy. From slapstick, pharse, situational humor, and witty lines. You also get to know these characters over different plays, so u start realising when something will go wrong based on their personas. It has won alot of awards on stage and tv. It's a rather fresh take of mocking genres aswell.. So I would recommend watching a whole play of it, then see if you like it. What you see here is just small bits from the character Max, and is not a testimony of the whole experience.
I love the backstory that Max’s aunt owns the studio or something so Chris can’t fire him no matter how much he screws around
I think she's the director of BBC... Chris says it in Peter Pan Goes Wrong 🤣
@@Cristiana-15_09 Oh that’s a much bigger title XD
@@Cristiana-15_09 so Chris REALLY can't get rid of Max then. Lol
@@davidnissim589 no, he really can't 😂
Also the same reason why Chris probably can't get rid of Dennis, his father does sets for the show for a cheaper price
Funny thing is when Max isn't distracted he is actually quite a good actor.
Like sandra
Especially in 90 Degrees
That's his character. He's a good actor, but tends to get carried away if he makes the audience laugh
@@davidnissim589 Yes, I am sure this commenter is aware that it's his character.
Snap snap.
You would think Dennis is the one who would piss Chris off the most but because max does it on purpose it ticks Chris off more
The problem is Dennis can remember everyone else's lines, just not his own. He's good as a substitute.
dennis frustrates vannesa the most.
"not the bear, the beer!"
"the bear!"
"why are you confused?!"
@@blazypika2 that's true Venessa tries to stick to script as much as possible and she does have a problem with spontaneity and Dennis doesn't help much with that.
@@bigboyfilmproductions8478 also Vanessa was new so she was less used to Dennis’ antics
Don't forget Robert with his attempts to upstage him.
I love how if Max breaks character and starts laughing at the gags, it is also perfectly in character and works just as well
Yeah, Dave got off lucky on that one, no one else has breaking built into their persona.
He and Jonathan probably have the easiest roles. Dave can corpse all he wants, whilst Jon wrote Dennis struggling with lines because he struggles with lines, allowing prompts in-show
He breaks character at 3:50. The cast says that he cries when he's actually laughing, and you can see it there
I love it how in the "tone matching" bit (about 3:47) it looks like Max is supposed to be grinning at the audience like usual, but Dave Hearne is visibly *fighting* to keep it a grin and not outright burst out laughing.
It made the scene better and is in character
This is cause he knows Henry doesn't want to do the silly voices but is cracking right on
3:45 They were both legitimately losing it. ROFL
Omg you scan see Shields fighting to turn his amusement into anger
Honestly, I wonder if the actor who played Max really was trying to hold back his laughter right there. I mean his facial expression looked pretty convincing.
@@ryanstauffer119 I watched him corpse on stage in the Comedy About a Bank Robbery, I'm pretty sure that's real 🤣

@@Roseforthethorns it honestly made it better xD
The disappearing trick in the Lodge is brilliant.
Chris has the same dynamic with Max that a Dungeon Master has with their players, and you can’t tell me otherwise.

"You two go and have your baby in the sodding manager!"
"Manger"
"GRAUGH!"
GET ON THE DONKEY!
Max doesn't care he's on the telly (in "play of the week") he's just there for the LOLZ . Chris takes everything too seriously.

I am coming to realize that, were I to try acting, I would absolutely be Max. But probably not as endearing in my silliness. :)
3:48 I think the cast said in an interview that Dave Hearn (Max's actor) was legitimately laughing here
Poor Sandra/Charlie having to keep a straight face during the Louie and Richard
Max breaking down and laughing during the Shakespeare special had me dying more.
3:46 Chris nearly breaks character

Max is such a talented comedian. 🤣
Max cracking up at 3:45 always makes me lose it
2:20 WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME!?
when Max clowns around he reminds me of a cross between Norman Wisdom and Eric Morecambe 😆
Max is my spirit animal.
I made that glasses and monocle joke in middle school
That followed by multiple hats just does me in every time
He’s having so much fun 😁
peak cinema
The manager scene from Nativity GW is brilliant. Seeing Chris finally lose it and fuck up always gets me
0:19 - Guess Max watched 'Airplane!' before the performance.
3:10 - Chris is like "Max, if we weren't before an audience, I would stab you right now".
I could watch this so many times and still laugh rofl
i adore how Henry is losing it in the blood scene too
And in the first brothers scene
New to them and familiar with some scenes, so funny. Thx for sharing!
0:58 Hope you know a good dry-cleaner, Chris.
It's nice that at least Max is always enjoying himself even when things go wrong. And of course he gets to go home with Sandra each night after the show so can't complain in any case...
0:22 it's fitting that they used a joke from Airplane here
I'm beginning to understabd why they didn't like him in Peter Pan Goes Wrong
"you two go have your baby in the sodding manager"
"Manger"
"AHHHHH"
has to be one of my favorite interactions in the show!
02:52 to 03:44 is the best part 😂😂
The part in the logde was quite rich 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I was like "Oh just stop it now, Max." 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
STOP IT!!
Take this -no
He saw the first bump
Max the greatest comedian in the whole show.
Love it!
Too be fare, Chris deserves to be annoyed by the man he called a terrible actor (PPGW)
Max would do quite well in an actual Panto, I think.
Oh no, he wouldn't!
