“Was I a bad son” is such a banger, it constantly gets stuck in my head. “Dang dang dang you know” is obviously a classic too. Listening to Zach and Jess’s ‘on book’ episodes really does something for this very indulgent fan we well
Props to you for narrowing your list down to 30. I doubt I could be so restrained. A few picks: - Shut Up And Kiss Me - This would sound at home in any major Broadway production. Not super funny, but it's a chorus and a theme that is just BEGGING to be part of a larger love story. - Air Supply: The Musical - A Pawn (To Turn Each Other On) - A Zach showcase. How he managed to improvise his way to "I'm the King, he's the Pawn, and you're the Queen," I will never know. And "King me!" is the perfect stinger at the end. - Some Kind of Hero - Hidin' in Our Best Friend's Closet - This whole episode hangs together as a legitimately great musical, but the opening song is such a great showcase of how Zach and Jess can read each other and adapt. - The Other Scottish Play - Brenda the Spider Woman - The song itself is wonderful just for Katy Berry's tiny performance, but the appearance of all the side characters rally around her just elevates it. I will never not die laughing when I hear Zach start yelling "Shirleh!" - Live from Vancouver - If I'm Not A Giraffe, You Legally Have to Tell Me - a perfect example of comic escalation, with Mitch slowly realizing just how deep a hole he's dug for himself.
one thing about off book that I love is that all the episodes are so varied and amazing that every single person has completely different favourites! love seeing a video about them in my recommended, excited to watch 😊
even though my top 30 would probably be made of entirely different songs, it's so fun to see someone else's opinion on this! was also glad "Walking Down the 101" made your list!
@@doggans well, that's the great thing about Off Book isn't it? Not just that they're great, but that they have such a great variety and wide range! Zach and Jess are the best!! What are your thoughts on Play It by Ear, if you've seen it?
@@therojowo Play It By Ear is also a lot of fun! I think the prompts from Mano make for a fun gameplay challenge element, although it's a minor disappointment how they keep the narratives more reigned-in so the stories don't get to go as wild as the stories on Off Book do.
This is an incredible list. Other standouts to me are the titular song from Bad Robot, A Massage from Crack Crack Boom, Gay Iconic from Mariah Who Are Ya, and All the Armour in the World (Can’t Protect Me from Emotion) from Emo Knights.
I enjoyed this look back. I just want to say that it's a testament to the number of amazing songs that came out of Off-Book that almost none of my favorites are here. Not disparaging your list at all, just saying there's so many good songs that it's expected that there not be much overlap between fans.
I absolutely love this video for straight up stealing the thoughts from my brain. Sometimes you forget that the vastness of the internet means that someone else out there may have the same journey with a piece of art as you. 😊 The moment you mentioned the new cop on the streets named Jameson, I felt seen! Haha Good work!
You and Tony really gave me a new appreciation for podcasts. You for your multiple videos discussing podcasts, and Tony for his own podcast. I'll have to check this one out, even though hearing Handlebarb compare arrows to male genitalia is just the WEIRDEST thing in the world to me.
Got a lot of similar favourites, but got to shout out, "Candy" by the Fleet Foxes - ep. 196 Get Haim to the Greek, and then its reprise in the finale, "Your Codename and your name can be the same" - Ep87 A meeting with Destiny, with the way that 1 mistaken line makes the song 100% funnier
My favorite off book songs are mostly from the Marvel Sing-amatic Universe episodes, especially, “Which Room Does it For You,” “When the Duck,” and the ones in the school. Honestly, I’ve listened to them more times than I can count.

Congrats on Jess shouting out this vid on the latest episode!
Thanks! That was so lovely to hear!
So fun. I personally love “Maritime law, maritime nah” 🥰

This may have been the hardest narrowing-down I've ever had to do for a video.
"Was I Bad Son" is one I go back to all the time - it's also just really fun to sing, Jess goes so hard

Love seeing more vids about podcasts. I’m only halfway into Comedy Bang Bang because of your past vid on it. Can’t wait for more podcast vids.
even though my top 30 would probably be made of entirely different songs, it's so fun to see someone else's opinion on this! was also glad "Walking Down the 101" made your list!
Like I said, there's no wrong answers!

Hey thanks! I love your Zach and Jess edits!
Yes, I love your work

you gotta do a list of famband songs cause they got SO MANY BANGERS
True! Might warrant a separate video in the future...
Every single song in the "Sponsored by Nibblers" episode makes my day
Sleepy baby for life! Thank you for tbis video.

Music is a wonderful thing.
hearing that someone else also loves many of the off-book songs which are very dear to my heart is wonderful 💕thanks for making this vid!!
Hey! This is cool content and you're really funny!!
So good to see the new cop on the street get the appreciation he deserves, his name is JAMESON!!!
He misses the gallows, but he loves healthcare!

Okay mr. Pacu wasn’t on the list. Thus, the list is wrong
Beans, Kippers, and Mash was really giving me Eminence Front vibes.
Where do you find all the episodes now? I can’t find them where I used to liten to it some years ago:(
I can't believe Rattlesnake Dick wasn't on the list, it's such a groove! Nice to see the Off Book appreciation 🤟
is there a list of what episodes these come from somewhere?
Hey, it was cool meeting you at the Bourbon Room!
You too!
only thing i'd say is missing is "The Letter K" (233, "A Christmas Duet")
love offbook!!
Imagine picking a song from “a” country bear jamboree and it’s not “i’m here now,” smh my head 😔
That’s also great! But nothing makes me giggle in that episode quite as much as “you can do it too!”
*promosm* 💪
