    I love the idea that KJ has always been wearing his Lunch Break shirt close to his heart the entire time no matter if he's singing with another quartet, and now after this song he's decided he's proud enough to let everyone know he's been secretly wearing it all along XD
    Very clever lol. I just wish I could share this performance with others and have them get it though. It's so deeply deeply clever but like nobody would ever get it unless they were following barbershop. So sad that 7-level-deep in-jokes like that can't be shared more widely.

      The more I think about the way they structured the comedy, too, the more I'm in awe at how great it is. From lampshading the fact that the three guys aren't known for comedy, and not necessarily good at it, and they're the clowns getting the jokes wrong and being (intentionally) mediocre, to the comedian playing a pitch perfect straight man, it fits the context of a group suddenly diving into comedy for the first time. A joke that could only be told by these four, and only this one time.

    A great tribute song - I was able to catch a performance of Lunch Break in NW Wisconsin years ago. I believe it was sponsored by the local S.P.E.B.S.Q.S.A. chapter. It was a great show, and afterglow gathering, where extra animals that didn't make "the ten" were showcased. I didn't realize that it had been 10 years already. I still enjoy watching the DVD that I got there! And a belated congratulations to KJ and the rest of Lunch Break guys for making "the ten" in your final competition! I love the final Lunch Break outfit reveal at the end!

    The first 3 Quartet i ever known is Main street, Lunch break and NF4. Love the comedy side and harmonization. I tried to find something like this in my country and its seems non existant 😂😂
    then i enjoy Stormfront and Max Q from whatever available in youtube. What a journey for KJ, from what i know Midtown is not a comedy quartet but they do it so well. its like they channeling the stormfront,free, Lunch break spirit. Thus that 100 point for the presentation. KJ is like being haunted by his old sin tbh 😂his reaction is perfect and the emotional ride that he had. In the end he would love lunch break to be there. tbf he wear that lunch break jacket for the win what a story. perfect ending.

    When KJ says (about the lactose intolerant spider), "that doesn't make any sense", it's even more funny if you realize that the original joke about the lactose intolerant cow never made any sense either. Adult cows don't drink their own milk, so lactose intolerance would not be a problem for a cow.

    Just genius. Reading some of the negative comments just makes me shake my head. One of the endearing things about this hobby is the amount of back and forth that goes on between quartets throughout the years - literally years. If you have not been around to appreciate the history, it is understandable you might not be thrilled but the disparaging comments have no basis in reason if you knew the background that the jokes come from. As for the singing - most all of the chords were perfectly in tune and rang like a handbell - who in that quartet has the perfect pitch to help them get back in? Jus a wonderful show guys, thanks for the laughs and the entertainment. I am pretty sure the intensity of the laughter might just have brought someone to the point of wishing they had worn Depends!
