I know everyone (including me) is obsessed with joeys face during show stopping number, but Lauren looks so dead inside the entire song and it kills me every time
MariMarMakeup SFX When I watched the digital ticket version of TGTDLM I was familiar enough with the show by that point that all I did was keep my eyes on Joey whenever he was in view because his face expressions were gold every time. Whether he was admiring Show Stopping Number or whether he was pretending to not be interested in Charlotte's, "Sam didn't come home last night" story his face expressions and body posture/movements as Ted was a treat.
Joey in Show Stoppin Number is a perfect example of background acting because he is acting enough to still be a part of the scene, but not so much that it distracts you from Robert (Professor Hidgens). In this essay I will
Trail to Oregon is actually about Craphole's desire to dance. He wants to dance during Independence, he starts dancing halfway through The Grind, and steals Wagon on Fire. I always watch Lauren in the background during The Grind. Son begging to dance is adorable.
As a theatre kid who's done many, many an ensemble role I'm letting you know right now every single one of those background characters have complex backstories and probably have all of their relationships with the other background characters deeply developed. That being said Starkid 100% does this the best and I adore them
omfg I never noticed Paul in the background of Show Me Your Hands trying to imitate the cops. What are you doing, Paul? that halfhearted choreo is not going to convince them you're part of the hive, man...
@@solarescapist8976 That's from the song Show Stoppin Number from The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals...? What do you mean you don't know it? I COULD BE READING YOUR QUESTION WRONG SORRY
It's interesting how much this trained my brain to not automatically look at whoever was singing in the not fully zoomed in clips. And I never noticed Gretel and Hans getting so excited when the audience joined in the chant, lol!
One of my favorite background acting moments is when in Twisted, Rachael says "That's like a hundred bad guys with swords." and Lauren mouths "Holy shit!" (Might not be exact, it's been a while since the last time I watched Twisted.)
If I had a nickel for every time Ted silently appreciated Robert's character dancing in TGWDLM, I'd have two nickels. which is not a lot but it's weird that it happened twice
ooo i remember for “Show Me Your Hands” that Jon (paul) once said that he was trying to mimic the dance so that the cop’s would think that they started their apotheosis so the cops would leave them alone
Oh my God, finally someone says it! We always tell our actors - you do the most acting when you don't have any lines, it fucks up everything when you don't do it and makes everything glorious when you do it right.
Wait, was Corey's character checking out Emma in Cup of Roasted Coffee? I never noticed THAT before. Fits with his expressions in the digi ticket though!
One of my favourite things is watching other actors during someone’s big scene it’s can lead to some really good moments or so e good insight into someone’s skills
Starkids background acting is so good. I've always loved their shows for it lol. It just adds a bit of humor and a small detail that just makes me laugh every time I rewatch them
I know everyone (including me) is obsessed with joeys face during show stopping number, but Lauren looks so dead inside the entire song and it kills me every time
Kelly Moncla I am now going to solely look at Joeys face when he’s in the background now.
My question is what happened to his hair?
I was just kinda living for the crotch shot... 😂 Nothing weird, but Like, “oh my gosh, Joeys face, but oh wow that’s Robert Manion’s crotch.”🤣
i always end up looking at his face bc its HILARIOUS

I feel like all their background acting just makes everything 1000% better. It really sets the scene.

Where's the essay?!?
I'm kind of tempted to actually write an essay on this.
Do it
Where's the essay OP?!
wheres the essay?
The entirety of this video could've been Joey during Show Stopping Number

The zoom on Clark is very appreciated
Yes I was very happy too
The duck is pleased
He's not even an actor, but he elevates every scene you notice him in the background of.
I am sorry I ruined the 666 but I agree big time so I had to
Oh my God, Paul trying to do Mariah's dance sksjdkslskd

Underrated: The fact that, even with a 6 actor cast, TTO has background acting. Also “divorce trending” I: had me WHEEZING
As a theatre kid who's done many, many an ensemble role I'm letting you know right now every single one of those background characters have complex backstories and probably have all of their relationships with the other background characters deeply developed. That being said Starkid 100% does this the best and I adore them
i believe it hearing tcb talk about how each of the scientists in spies are forever had their own backstories
Roberts hips are my favorite background actors
Name a more iconic duo
What are you saying, Roberts hips play the leading part😂😂
Jessica W oh dang, you right you right
I full on expected being the independence number to be the "ha ha ha" version.
Same
I know Jeff’s face in that is priceless cause you can see he is trying real hard not to laugh and he ends up doing it anyway.
I just rewatched Trail to Oregon a few days ago and i was surprised when i didn't hear the Ha Ha Ha part 😅😅
omfg I never noticed Paul in the background of Show Me Your Hands trying to imitate the cops. What are you doing, Paul? that halfhearted choreo is not going to convince them you're part of the hive, man...
He didn't like Musicals, so that was the best he could do at the time.
I love how Ted is super into Working Boys.
“... and Chad.”
Super Friends and No One Remembers Achmed are videos I can rewatch forever and focus on a new person each time
Same except I always end up focusing on Joe in both of them
Denise in both of them😂😂😂
This is 90% Joey and it’s wonderful
Joey being really captivated by things around him is my
a e s t h e t I c
denise's little bobble at 1:02 literally has me crying actual real tears
SAME LITERALLY EVERY TIME I WATCH TWISTED/NO ONE REMEMBERS ACHMED I NOTICE HER MORE THAN THE OTHERS BC SHE MOVES AND IT GETS ME IN TEARS EVERY TIME
Rachel during Independence is ADORABLE
ACTING 👏 IS 👏 REACTING 👏 THANK YOU STARKID
2:27 i never ever even noticed that omg but now my heart hurts..RACHEL
it looks like she's looking directly into the camera 😂
YES IKR
Also no hate but I think it's spelled Rachael?
Sorry I could be wronggg
I really think those were joey's genuine reactions to robert's hips
rachael in independence got me good
Came for the acting, stayed for the close up of Robert's hips at 2:00
SarcasticSpiderman Bradley from where is that vid lmaoo
@@solarescapist8976 That's from the song Show Stoppin Number from The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals...?
What do you mean you don't know it?
I COULD BE READING YOUR QUESTION WRONG SORRY
I never noticed Jon trying to copy Mariah during Show Me Your Hands.
I never noticed Ted appreciating Robert's dance moves during Show Me Your Hands omg
Paul trying to do the dance in Show Me Your Hands AWWWW HES SO CUTE
It's interesting how much this trained my brain to not automatically look at whoever was singing in the not fully zoomed in clips. And I never noticed Gretel and Hans getting so excited when the audience joined in the chant, lol!
0:44 I love how disappointed everyone is with Ducker's actions lol
I clicked this not even a minute ago and it said it was deleted then I got the notification again. I thought I was high for a hot second
one of my favourite things about tgwdlm is Lauren looking so done with everything and Joey really getting into it
Is no one going to talk about how cute a pure Rachael’s faces were in independence!!
1:36
Me at parties
Jk I don’t go to those
@Gwen Valerio Are you Gretel or Curt? 😂
BuddyBoo 2017 100% Gretel
3:14 me at parties
What show is that from?
Gwen Valerio she's actually me trying to dance its not okay
I was in the hospital for 2 days this week and once they drew blood and used a tourniquet and I had _Independence_ stuck in my head for hours.
Clark’s face throughout the entirety of Trail to Oregon is hilarious. He’s so serious the whole time while wearing full pioneer gear 😂
New idea: every single show reframed to focus on one single background character
BRIANS REACTION IS WHEN CURT SAYS ITS A GUN IS EVERYTHING
3:10 craphole: :O
Also Achmed’s soldiers in the background during his song are _KILLING ME_
pAUL MIMICKING MARIAHS COP CHARACTER AHAHHA
One of my favorite background acting moments is when in Twisted, Rachael says "That's like a hundred bad guys with swords." and Lauren mouths "Holy shit!" (Might not be exact, it's been a while since the last time I watched Twisted.)
the fear on brian's face after curt says 'it's a gun' is so funny and i never noticed it before
The clip of Rachel at 2:46 is the most adorable thing I have ever seen
My favorite part of TGWDLM is Ted just vibing to all the songs. Like, if you're gonna be there might as well enjoy it.
the zoom on robert’s beaming face during “cup of roasted coffee” just sends meee... and the little tip tap to the best
Anytime Joey is on stage during TGWDLM is iconic
I literally started laughing so loud at 1:36 what a mood
Ted during “Show stopping number” is me,and my dad and Emma is literally everyone else in my life.
the abrupt zzooomm out to joey jiggin to “theres lots to learn” is my FAVORITE thing ever
I never noticed Paul or the whole firebringer thing in the background!!!! Thank you so much for this!!!!
omg I'd never seen the reactions of the other characters after walker changed position this is golden
Denise bouncing during “spotted underwear” always get me 😂
If I had a nickel for every time Ted silently appreciated Robert's character dancing in TGWDLM, I'd have two nickels. which is not a lot but it's weird that it happened twice
1:19 Wow, “Jojo Rabbit” looks great.
I can’t listen to independence without hearing the blooper
Saaammmeee
god brian at 0:50 is so good
I always forget that that's Brian
denise during "achmed" im sPITTING skskskskskksks
I love Lauren’s background acting in Trail To Oregon, son always looks lowkey frightened but loving it at the same time
little details are EVERYTHING
2:38 i’ve been watching the “hohohohohohoho” version of this scene for so long that the actual scene just feels weird
You did that one clip just for Robert's hips.
Not that Im complaining though
1:02 Roberts facial expressions here make me laugh so hard for some reason
I love that one little zoom in on Clark lol
1:35 my last braincells
I love how Paul is trying to follow the instructions from the cops even though he knows the singing mean bad
1:55
I’m Ted in the entire scene, and my brother is Emma.
ooo i remember for “Show Me Your Hands” that Jon (paul) once said that he was trying to mimic the dance so that the cop’s would think that they started their apotheosis so the cops would leave them alone
Half of these are their default emotions, and the other half are just them screwing around with it.
Oh my God, finally someone says it! We always tell our actors - you do the most acting when you don't have any lines, it fucks up everything when you don't do it and makes everything glorious when you do it right.
I NEVER noticed Paul trying to copy the cop at the very last clip aOdndkjdJdkdhdkjd thats very good
Wait, was Corey's character checking out Emma in Cup of Roasted Coffee? I never noticed THAT before. Fits with his expressions in the digi ticket though!
the background acting just is perfect
joey appreciating robert's dance moves in two separate scenes is always my favorite
Omg Son reacting to 🎶”bit by a beeeaarrr!”🎶 my god how did I not see the pure joy oozing out of his eyes 🤣
I lost it at Corey's face in Cup of Roasted Coffee
this video just made me think of everytime I've done background acting and analyze it in my head
mood: rachael in all of "independence"
Joey's background dancing and acting during Nazi's Are Not So Bad make me WHEEZE
I’m so glad you added the scientists in saf they’re wonderful
I loved the look of disappointment on the scientists face when curt guessed a gun
I love Tittymitty's little bounce during Independence. Too old to actually go up and down so it's a very slight bob
The Twisted ensemble were really doing the most
Oh no, the zoom on Professor's hips during "Show stopping number" almost killed me. Big gay time.
I freaking love Denise in no one remembers Achmed and I always have also I never noticed Jon doing that during the cop song and it’s comedy gold
Robert looks so into Cup of Roasted Coffee
1:08 Me in the back of the room while the leads are rehearsing their songs in rehersal
One of my favourite things is watching other actors during someone’s big scene it’s can lead to some really good moments or so e good insight into someone’s skills
I like that Robert's hips are their own background actor.
But honestly they're the star of the song so.
this is how all theatre should be done! part of what makes starkid so great is everyone's commitment to the scene and characters
0:43 has always been a favourite of mine
Starkids background acting is so good. I've always loved their shows for it lol. It just adds a bit of humor and a small detail that just makes me laugh every time I rewatch them
This is one of the many reasons why Starkid is literally the best thing ever.
is it just me or does nazi!lauren look more like tanya than pretty much any of her other characters i’ve seen?
What show was this I can’t find it
@@queenmabsmen7016 Spies Are Forever
When superfriends played my adhd brain hurt
Meanwhile the ensemble at my school just stands still and looks suicidal in the background
curt's expressions during not so bad are EXCELLENT
theater is really great for background acting, I feel like other forms of media should utilize it more
