Reminder: we've got an ALL NEW season of Game Changer that just started this week, with so much more to go (plus we made a whole show on Dropout about improv musicals. It's called Play It By Ear, you should check it out)
This is amazing how can I audition
Definitely need a part 2 to this
I second this comment. It’s a great episode.
where can i watch play it by ear full episodes?
Who funds this? CRINGE failed acting school graduates.
I love how Sam just embodies the whole audience’s reaction. I would take a solitary guy freaking out over a laugh track any day
I want a new sitcom where they just have one dude cracking up at the jokes
In the cut for time episode, we find out Sam’s face was originally in the corner for the entire mountport episode
@@mlynn998 omg I went to watch it and Sam’s faces are too good!!! I really wanna see the whole ep with that now lololol
E
@@mlynn998"I've been here the whole time!"
The second "How can that be" is pure harmonizing bliss
"Like, phys-i-cal-ee?"
@@Fyreflier "How can that bee"
@@Fyreflier I must sing that in my head, like, every other day. Pure genius!
@@BluesPoet I've been singing "No Home Run" all day. 😀
Someone still has to explain to me how the Coastal Mountains, the Dalmatian Coast in Croatia, St. Lucia in the Caribbean, Majorca in Spain, all of Hawaii.... don't count as "seaside mountains." BC has a literal mountain range called "The Coastal Mountain Range". Why has no one on the cast/crew seen a picture of mountains directly next to the ocean?? Are we the crazy ones??? What's going on here????
I'll never forget the first time I watched this--it's one of the most magical episodes of anything ever made. You can see in Sam's smile that he knows he's made a playground for some of the sharpest and most creative people anywhere in entertainment.
Yessssssssss
yess! The first time watching this was truly magical!
It’s definitely one of those things I wish I could forget so I could experience it for the first time again
has sam ever played santa? is there a calendar of it?
Where can u watch the full episodes 😭
Mountport's sudden lack of fish really tipped the scales for me moving there in order to start a new life of non-fishy newspaper distribution.
Be careful about the tuna fish there. It's really good, but just a bit will do ya
@@nanwijanarko1969 Luckily there aren't any left.
@@leonmayne797 well not after that last train conductor got at them, anyway. rip.
Tipped _the scales_
Tipped the SCALES
2:52 jess forgetting that the town is called mountport and zach correcting her moments later, not once but twice in this episode, while trying to remain on melody is equal parts hilarious and impressive
But he didn't even correct her
He acknowledged that she said the right name and they all shorten it cuz they're busy which is even more awesome 🤣
But the second time when she called it "Mount Town" was hilarious
I feel like she chose "mountain port" to stick with the melody.
Something I've noticed in episodes of Play it by Ear is that Zach is really good at directing the music and maintaining continuity.
equal parts fear and admiration! ~feaaaar and admiraaation! Dont know if you meant to reference them, but made me giggle.
Yathe baseball aong was awesome and she messes up the name but they all play it off so nicely like it was scripted! Real talent these guys
My personal headcanon is that the geological phenomenon of a mountain/seaside town is some kind of deep, dark secret, and Timothy's "crime" is just that he reveals it to strangers.
I thought it could be where there's a mountain range that's all squished together, and the sea is on the other side, cresting the top of the mountains (Similar to a cliff with water or dam).
The city of Valparaiso in chile is pretty much a mountain/seaside town
Vancouver is pretty much a mountain port town.
@AmTrFilms Well, now you've revealed their secret, and Zach won't let you outside anymore.
Literally outside my front door is the mountains and I'm also 15 minutes from the ocean in Vancouver. That's just how we live.
I love how Jess is accutley aware of how amazing what they just did was. "We get a lot of points, Sam?"
"give us the points!"
"yeah, put the points in there!"
E
“On account of the crime” is such an underrated line
“Don’t ask me!”
“Don’t ask me!”
“You can ask me!”
“GET BACK INSIDE!”
“Okay!”
What a tease of one of, if not the, best episodes of Game Changer. They're all so talented!
I remember watching this for the 1st time and I was smiling ear to ear the whole time.
@@traewatts i remember crying laughing over it honestly lolll
uhm actually the best episode is literally anything with brennan
@@LeonardGreenpaw can't argue with that. But I love whatever we can get of Jess! And this episode is truly special.
Where can I watch?
Shout out to Scott as well as the contestants, for providing the music that also had to adjust to their singing on the fly!
The king of pianists!
the piano guy is the mana for jessica´s magical powers
@@benchilcott6908 the painist of kings!
How on earth did they get the other instrumentation in there, like the violins at 2:50? Did they edit it in later, or is that all the pianist doing that with the keyboard’s features?
@@muddlewait8844 all keyboard baby
Having “The fish are gone” as the first line absolutely killed me
The full episode is amazing. Arguably the best game changer episode
Anybody who argues against it is wrong
watch "play it by ear" from them!! so good
@@heartdoctor042 See this guy right here. All wrong.
@@heartdoctor042 (loljk art is subjective and we all like what we like)
@@orbislame I mean, animal sounds exist, so...
The way that came full circle with Timmy is pure epic. You couldn’t write and plan that any better.
Seriously. It’s such a typically “musical” thing to happen and they came up with it on the fly. Just amazing.
Wait! Wait! This is improvised?!!! Holy shit! It’s amazing!!
Wow they do
But yeah that’s some crazy improvisational skills
Like whattttttt!?!?!!
I live in Maine and can confirm there are small gossipy towns where there are foggy mountains next to the sea, overfishing is a problem, and there are lots of wealthy people on sailboats. Y'all should come to Maine and see how the mountains stretch into the sea⛵ Art imitating life.
How can that be?!
@@zaidlacksalastname4905 Well the mountains stretch from the sky right down to the sea!
@@bigboye3077How can that be? Like physically?
@@avataruri6987 How can that beeeee??
@@ilikepineappleonpizza4257 don't ask me
It is genuinely insane that these people are creative enough to come up with thus sort of thing on the spot. Bravo. this deserves an award from the improv community
E
“On account of the crimes” makes me laugh unreasonably hard
"LIKE PHYSICALLY" 😂 got me crying, pure genius
It is my literal favorite part.
This is all improvised isn't it? The amount of talent required, both musical and comical, to improvise all of that is absolutely insane. Hats off!
All improvised except Sam's prompts obviously. They might not have even known this episode's game would involve singing.
@@go-away-5555 They definitely knew the game would involve singing, two of them have a podcast (Off Book, IIRC?) that is basically the same concept, an improv musical. Doesn't make this any less incredible to watch, though.
@@SodawarsGaming no they didnt know it would include singing. They do a singing improv show together hence why theyre so good, but they did episodes before this with no singing involved
@@ayooobro late response but they probably had some idea what the game would be when they knew who they’d be doing it with
This is when Sam realised he stumbled upon gold
The "how can that be" harmonization was wayyyy too good on the spot, so many props
You guys gotta watch the whole episode. This felt like…as satisfying as watching an actual musical
Then afterwards, just listen to every Off Book podcast episode. They pull this off all the time, it's amazing
Oh man ok they got me I'm gonna sign up
I hate that it’s not posted on TH-cam. I can’t afford dropout. But I’m great full that they actually put some videos and the whole soundtrack online.
This episode was absolutely incredible. Totally loved it and now Play it by Ear.
When I first saw this I was not ready for how amazing it was and I love that Sam's reaction was the same. He was not prepared for the magic in a bottle he was catching with that talented group of 3 improve singers and 1 improve pianist
Yes sooo good
They have a podcast called off book where they improvise a full musical every episode. They're all really good but I definitely recommend Ben Schwartz and Paul f thompkins episodes
The implication that jimothy’s crimes have to do with why the mountain and the sea are now close to each other
This was truly a magical episode
Watched it. Watched it again. Watched it with 3 other people separately. Bought the shirt.
Joyous and incredible piece of art.
The shirt! Lucky you! My size is sold out :'[
I've watched this episode so many times it's implanted on my tv.
Oh shit. Legit?
Wait, how do you get drop out on your tv?
@@daniellins4114
I just connect it to my laptop with an HDMI.
Watching the whole cast recording on Dropout might be the first time I ever cried while watching a “game show”… pure magic!
Well if you watch the GC episode that came directly after this one, you'll be bawling your eyes out at the end. It's literally called Don't Cry
dude same. I'm over here crying my eyes out and I dont even know why. That was just something truly special.
as someone who lives in a mountain seaside town in alaska, i think about this song all the time.
It's amazing how fast Jess became one of my favorite CollegeHumor cast members
I want to see her and Lisa Gilroy improv together
So glad to see this clip on the official channel. This episode got me to subscribe to Dropout and I don’t regret it!
My favourite part is always when it cuts back to Scott and you see how much joy he has in seeing what the contestants are doing with his music.
3:39 Sam being utterly unprepared for how good this was
I just watched this randomly after missing CH videos for months and this is one of the funniest things I've seen in years.
3:20 is just,,, you can see where they all end up on the same page, its amazing
Ngl, I might have to get a dropout subscription because this was straight fire
As someone who has a dropout subscription, it is 100% worth it. Dropout's content, from D20 to their gorgeous improv shows, is some of the best internet content being produced atm.
Oh you just wait to hear the other songs from the episode 🔥
@@civilizedmonkey1795 spoiling it would be a ticket to nowhere to you
And the. You have to go looking for the cut business school song.
The best thing about this episode all the jokes and musicl were actually connected
The fish coincidence foretold magic and then the actual product exceeded all possible expectations. This episode is amazingly good.
And I’d happily watch the “Sam Reacts” edit - His joy is contagious.
the dopamine that continually flooded my brain as i watched this when it first aired
Everything Zach and Jess touch is gold
I'm so glad this is finally on TH-cam so I can comment that "throw out that suggestion" is such a funny line for a song in an improv show
It’s insane how Sam’s small comment about the town being on the sea and next to mountains shapes the entire musical
I legit just watched the episode on Dropout last night. This is one of my favorite game show concepts and I'm already enjoying Season 5 of Game Changer. I loved Season 1 of Play it By Ear and I'm sure I'm not the only one looking forward to a potential season 2.
If you need a fix in the meantime before season 2 (manifesting) - check out Off Book, zach and jess’ improvised musical podcast. They have various guests like on play it by ear and it’s great. The only difference is there are no prompts / structure they just start with a conversation and go from there
That was insanely good improv
We need another episode with these geniuses!
They have their own show now, Play it By Ear.
Broadway Composers work for years on their craft but Zach and Jess can just crap these out seemingly whenever and frankly they're better than the majority of songs I've heard on broadway.
Man I do not like this type of comment. What they did in this episode is amazing! And it also is in no way comparable to writing and producing a Broadway musical. The comparison is insulting to the improvers, the Broadway composers, and everybody you expect to accept this as a reasonable comparison.
You would love their podcast then! It’s called Off Book and they do exactly this every episode.
@@BrittanyCSwartz Longtime listener, I was listening to their rendition of Stable George when writing this.
@@DanKaschel while it's true that the comparison is not even close, OP's comment is a tongue in cheek message from someone who resonates with improv/comedy more than long form musicals. And honestly, for musical theatre emotional investment matters so so much, maybe even a little more than songwriting quality.
- lifetime Broadway fan
@@DanKaschel
1) they didn’t say this was comparable to writing and producing the entirety of a whole broadway musical.
2) they just expressed they liked how this song sounded more than most broadway songs which is a perfectly valid opinion to have
3) this was not presented as a reasonable comparison, just a tongue and cheek praise of the skills as play during this song. In that context it’s very reasonable, unlike the unreasonable reaction you’re having with this unsolicited hyper defensive counter to a comment not intended to be a completely serious comparison of two obviously different mediums.
1:31 "How is that geologically possible?"
Sam, may I introduce you to the italian region of _Liguria_ (Ligury)?
I’m not going to lie, I cried tears of joy when I watched this episode because of how spontaneously cohesive, hilarious, beautiful, full circle and just MAGICAL this form of improv is. It’s the purest, most layered and most impressive genre of improv you can possibly get. Can’t get enough of it
Oh my was that good... Just absolute gold! So much talent to not only make it up on the spot but to actually have it work out so fantastically! I'ma give them a LOT of points for this!
the very last "How can" is so aesthetically pleasing to my theatre kid ears
This whole episode was AMAZING. Zach is a musical theater genius, he knew all the spots to layer different vocals.
Its crazy how they all are meeeting eachother for the first time, everyone knows you say Hi-Ho to people you already know.
I just watched this episode on Dropout and I had to see if people were talking about it because oh my god!! So good!! They are so incredibly talented. Zach was incredible at coming up with the lore and dropping in hints and new characters. He really shaped the story and made it go forward. So impressive.
i know all the songs from this episode, theyre just all permanently imprinted on my brain. if i could watch this for the first time again i would, absolute pure magic
I’ve been obsessed with Mountport for weeks.
Dropout is worth your subscription from this episode alone
One of the most iconic Game Changer episodes, well warranted in helping inspire my favorite of the new Dropout shows. Me and my friends have watched this episode multiple times.
They are good at singing, and harmonizing with great acting
This needs to be a Broadway production soon! I LOVE IT
Thank you for this episode, I rewatch it all the time. Also for inadvertently introducing me to Jess and Zach’s Podcast Offbook
my favorite game changer episode so far!!! everyone in the comments is commending the singers, which is absolutely necessary, but we also NEED to appreciate the pianist scott passarella!!!! the way that he picks up on what the others are doing and leads into it perfectly is just amazing !!! an example is 2:50 in this video but there’s a lot of other examples in the other songs
A pinnacle of the show. I watch parts of this (in various edits) on repeat every other week. It's insane how they tie things together and the melodies are magic
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL
That climax number when they take down the tower and different chords mix together is so magical it gets me shivering every time I watch it! I still cannot believe they just came up with that on spot, that was truly magical. Honestly half of the reason I keep the subscription for dropout is that I can watch this episode over and over again 😅😅😅
This is the episode that literally let me convince my inner self to finally subscribe DropOut... even if it means less lunch for me, this is totally worth every cent of it.
I've never seen a teaser ad make me want to buy a subscription so much in my life
I am actually in awe holy shit this is pure talent
"--like, physically--" might be my all-time favorite line from any musical.
My friends showed this episode to me unaware that I am a huge musical fan, and I was crying/laughing so hard from how amazing this part in particular was
"Like physically"!? Is so funny and I love their singing 😂
As someone who loves musicals, watching this episode was astounding. The songs they’d make up on the spot were fantastic and I keep coming back to listen to them.
The piano player is the real MVP
This episode is truly one of the best pieces of media.
I honestly cannot get enough of this episode. I need to listen to the whole track at least once per damn week
this was an absolute delight to watch for the first time, my jaw was hanging open from 2:35 in this video to the end of the episode and also reignited my love for musical theater in a good several years again. i binged all of play it by ear right after (+ off book on youtube, which is zach and jess's other improv'd musical on stage) trying to chase the same high i felt watching this, and while they were amazing, nothing hit quite as much as welcome to mountport. outstanding performance.
The shorts from this episode that ya'll shared are honestly what got me to get a dropout subscription.
no beacuse this sounds like a very fun musical. this was amasing!
Holy...I could not stop smiling. That was PHENOMINAL!
Zeke, Zach, and Jess are sirens. No, they're archmagi of enchantment magicks. This is the only rational explanation for how good this is.
"*high pitched voice* You can ask me---"
"GET BACK INSIDE!!!"
This makes me so happy. The talent, the music, and Sam's constant giggle. Truly a masterpiece.
Quite possibly my favorite game changer yet, everyone is so so talented
What episode is this from?
You know, I went to New Zealand a while back, and while I was there we visited a little town called Littleton, which was a port town, set onto a mountain so steep you could lie down and roll down the main street into the ocean.
I don't know why, but i particularly enjoy "Oh right, okay, so it was the same thing" at 1:09
I have no words. Literal chills.
Honestly one of the best bits of musical improv I have ever witnessed. Watched the whole episode multiple time with joy!
This sounds like a opening song to a Disney movie it's so good
Y'all made the keyboard player SO HAPPY!
I genuinely was hoping that this was going to be the full episode 🤣. It’s still one of the best though.
The part where they do the medley in What Money can't buy is one of the most amazing things. I subscribed to Dropout because of this. Also I figured I owed ya'll for the years of great sketches on YT.
I’m glad Sam was there reacting the same way I was because the contestants were so naturally pulling a song out of thin air. Everyone was so talented!
This episode is incredible in every way possible. The final song legit makes me tear up every time 🥹
Everything about this is amazing, and I have to find out how to watch more of this! But I just had to come by and say I literally live in a little mountain and seaside town in New Zealand, lol. It's called New Plymouth, and it's awesome. The mountain (Taranaki) is about a 15-20 minute drive from the ocean, but the remains of a past mountain (Paritutu), where the volcanic hotspot has moved from, along the plate in the past, is literally on the beach. You can surf, skate, and snowboard in one day 🙌🏽
Ive watched this several million times and I refuse to acknowledge that this is an improvised performance. Too amazing to be true ❤
This episode is worth a month of dropout all by itself
Just finished watching this episode on Dropout, and holy shit I'm blown away. Easily the best improv I've ever seen.
Them: "The mountains stretch from the sky right down to the sea. How can that be?"
Me (who lives on a mountain island): How can that not be? Plate tectonics? Volcanoes?
This is amazing. My mind is still recovering. I can't find the right words while still trying to catch my breath, from both laughter and amazement. Absolutely shockingly brilliant.
The full episode only gets better from here and is worth the price of admission alone.
