having watched this several times, I think it's the complete tone shift that really does it. We went from talking about picking up pennies and thinking about something else and a bunch of random cliches like, "Ah, New York, the GREATEST CITY IN THE WORLD!" to "It REMINDS ME... that it's a major metropolitan area." That is not something you expect a couple of kids who can only speak in banalities to say, and it works so well to disrupt the tone.
i love to see the two different interpretations of a similar prompt. it kinda feels like jess and jeremy have a slightly deeper understanding of musical theatre tropes, like Brennan and Zac's scene felt like more of a stereotype of musicals while jess and jeremy sound like their actually reciting lines from annie and newsies. the inclusion of "Scrappy orphans" in the prompt probably helped lead them there too
I think their is a bit different too. Like Zac and Brennan are constantly building up to the opening line that never quite arrives. Whereas Jess and Jeremy settled into buildup and deflate.
Brennan and Zac's reminds me of the monologue before "Make it Laugh" from "Singing in the Rain" -- a character commentating on something the protagonist brings up to make it a statement about humanity as a whole that informs their perspective.
"There's so many people in the city, it reminds me.... That it's a major metropolitan area." Idk why but the wording in that is so funny. It's such a hard word for a little orphan kids 😂😂
I would feel that scrappy orphans in a metropolitan area would, by dint of being in a city that probably would use “metropolitan” frequently, would sometimes use “metropolitan” in conversation.
I feel like Josh's "bum-bum-bum-bum" is why Sam started yes-anding when the other player contributes things on _Make Some Noise,_ even if it's not their turn.
2:04 / 2:17 - Someone musically talented, please add scores here! Just imagine the music rising up, getting more bombastic, fading in with a peppy rhythm... and then immediately drops. Alternatively, the hypothetical musician is too stubborn, so they still try to play in tune with whatever they're saying.
That reminds of Monty Python's The Holy Grail. There's a scene in which one character continuously tries to break out in song, but keeps getting cut off by his father.

Make a full musical, label it as a musical in the title. Never have a single song, its just a story said in this kind of dialog for two to three hours. The entire time your thinking "well the songs gotta start now?" But it never does. The end of the "musical" one of the protagonists says something like " i think we've been forgetting to do something" followed by a full awkward minute of standing still and going hmmm every now and then followed by a loud and sudden "NAHH". Every single actor just walks off the stage, no final bow, nothing, not even a clear end to the story, just the weird ending scene a few minutes of silence, and then an announcement over the speakers thanking people for coming to watch the show.
Does anybody have any songs that are like this?? Sort of the horrifying but still cozy sound? I don't know the instrumentation is so dark and scary, but it's still comforting, and I want more songs like this to add to my dark fantasy playlist
If you want the ACTUAL musical version of edging, you should just listen to "The Only Thing They Fear Is You" from DOOM Eternal. There are like 15 points where it feels like it's going to drop and then it just goes into a different pre-drop.
@1:07 cheap special effects to pretend Josh is still hiding, but is removed in After Effects or something. That's lame... I didn't know they cheated this way
We've got to give Josh credit for starting the tradition of adding garnish to other people's prompts
i do think josh and jake insert themselves a bit too much sometimes, even when it’s funny lol 😭💀
@@TeenyWeenyDorknumber three rule of improv, if it’s funny, it works
By far the best version of that is Jacob as Zac’s heart monitor almost flatlining and then coming back
Yeahh it always rubs me the wrong way just a little bit
sam has said it’s one of his favorite things now which i love
jess’s scrappy orphan voice is my favorite thing in the world
Hey, if she can make it here, she can make it anywhere!
@@pariahred13 Careful with that, you'll let the American Dream out.
And it pairs perfectly with her scrappy orphan posture, which I wouldn't have thought was a thing before seeing it here
She literally sounds like a 10-year-old street urchin boy. Absolutely amazing work
It’s just the New York accent
Brennan's body language screams musical so loudly
Its the whole body facing forward to the audience
It doess
He's a theater kid at heart.
I've been to my share of high school theater productions. He absolutely NAILS that energy.
He's done a few comedy shows before, theres a couple in "characters welcome"
Makes sense he developed the theatre physicality
sam desperately yelling JOSH ITS NOT YOU kills me every time
same, LOLL😭😭💀
Zach: *spins around* "What about toast?"
New York Brennan: *gets ready to throw hands* "WHAT ABOUT TOAST!?"
Lol he was readying to sing and DANCE
That’s one of my favorite bits of physical comedy from Zac 😂
@@ChartreuseDan
Bum bum bum bum bum bum
Every line of the scrappy orphans one just SCREAMS "We're about to sing." It's uncanny.
The deflated "I don't know" in 2:00 got me
something about the major metropolitan area line made me laugh so hard
New York is the model of a modern major metropolitan area.
@@Crlarl I tried to find the meter of that lyric and it turned into Eminem instead of Gilbert & Sullivan.
What was it?

oh yeah jess definitely knows a whole lot about musicals. she has her own series just singing musicals impromptu
Agreed, The prompt being more specific definitely helped.
The way they specifically enunciated to play for the back and cheated out really makes it for me.

This line is what made me audibly laugh 🤣
I would feel that scrappy orphans in a metropolitan area would, by dint of being in a city that probably would use “metropolitan” frequently, would sometimes use “metropolitan” in conversation.
Hey, it's a hard word for two hard orphans growing up in a hard city smack dab in the middle of a hard ole world, huh?
@@valerius88are you perhaps.. a scrappy orphan kid?
I love how after Sam cut them off with the buzzer, they took it as the sign of “okay guess this is the line we’re turning into the song”
I like the Jess and Jeremy one most. The pauses for potential music being mid-sentence just works better for me
I feel like Josh's "bum-bum-bum-bum" is why Sam started yes-anding when the other player contributes things on _Make Some Noise,_ even if it's not their turn.
Look up the play it by ear song where they can't rhyme
TRUE that fits right in with these
Animal Style
ON IT o7
edit: THANK YOU THAT WAS VERY FUNNY HAVE A GREAT NIGHT
I’ll wind up _bereft of life_
Birds of a feather do not...flock as one
"All the bagels of the rainbOH" really got me
Viewer points to Josh for being willing to lose game points just to chime in! 😂
Wow! Over a thousand likes? Thank you, everyone!
When interrupting the bit also becomes a bit
The “I don’t know” killed me lmao
As a theater kid this is torture

The utter defeat in the "I dont know" at 2:00 is SO funny 🤣
sam must've been really love musical edging to ask for this prompt twice 😆
The "Birds of a Feather" song from Play It By Ear also would count as the musical equivalent of edging!

That's the rhyming equivalent of edging, different
This is Improv, but instead of "yes, and", its "No, but"
i love how josh just despawns as soon as sam tells him its not his turn
This gave me extreme anxiety the WHOLE TIME.
We Definitely need to hear the song "What *about* toast?!"
0:26 I too wish it was Josh’s turn
The Edging is unreal!
Kept waiting for one of them to break lol
The New Yorker in Brennan was not standing for the toast agenda
Brennan sounds like he's about to murder Zac when he says "What about toast."

I love this SO much.
Place an orchestra in front of the stage and they keep leaning forward, lifting their instruments, adjusting their sheet music the whole time.
I would watch this
I would literally lose my mind if I had to watch that.
Name it Musicalmost.
I don't even like musicals but I'm so pent up now, even I need them to SING THE SONG ALREADY
this is what being in a newsies production feels like.
as a former jack i can 100% confirm this
Josh's glasses popping up after he disappears is amazing
josh providing the vamp is the real mvp
the cut back to the glasses being thrown is great
"Hahahaha- WHAT ABOUT TOAST??"
My favorite.
The cartoon glasses gag takes this to another level
I love how far we've come. Before make some noise, Sam is telling Josh its not his turn, by season 3 the show has become the guests
The opposite of "Yes, and." = "I don't know."
0:27 i was cheated by you, since i don’t know when 🎶
"stop that, stop that, you're not going into a song while I'm here."
Jeremy deciding to start the song after Sam cuts them off was SO SMART!
The only times I'm ever so spontaneous is when a fart sneaks up on me.
josh is gonna break brennans generational musical edging streak
that -2 I don´t know" was just perfect, it was perfect.
I’m sad we missed out on a Brennan musical number called “All the Bagels of the Rainbow” 🌈
I love Josh so much you do not understand
I ADORE Jess
Josh falling like a looney toons animation made me laugh. Very hard to do.
Let Josh contribute he love doing little sound effects, it’s cruel to deny him
I had to listen to the SpongeBob Musical after this. I just need to musically come.
Secret stories are the best!
Lowkey, your video title knocked me out almost more than the entire video lmao
“Ha Ha Ha What ABOUT Toast?”
“hey, maybe we can find something shiny! if we look hard enough.”
“where?”
“i dunno.”
kills me every time
I can’t wait to hear the songs _What ABOUT Toast?!_ and _I Think About Secret Stories_
imagine if this was dreamybull but he tries not to burst into a song instead of bursting into nuts.
"ambattashowyouaworld..."
I am never going to see Broadway musicals the same ever again! 😭 Hahahaha! These guys nailed it. Musical edging. Lmao!
This title is incredible
major metropolitan area
Why are they so goood
I love when the third person decides “I don’t care if I don’t get any points, I need to get in on this”
"Everything Bagel" will never sound normal to me after The Unsleeping City
HAHAHHAHAA DHDHDKGSJSHSJDKS this was indeed torturous I NEED THAT BAGEL SONG
This feels like a panto gone wrong
Josh trying to Mamma Mia his way in lol
An everything bagel? Or a Bagel of All Things?
yup, love this
They never miss
It somehow made my OCD act up, the way they didn't break into song
0:27 LET HIM DO HIS THING!!!
1:03 LET HIM DO IT!!!!!
“Haha! *What about toast?* ”
Does anybody have any songs that are like this?? Sort of the horrifying but still cozy sound? I don't know the instrumentation is so dark and scary, but it's still comforting, and I want more songs like this to add to my dark fantasy playlist
shockingly this is not the first time I have heard this phrase
I love that accent they both in the second clip I could listen to people talk like that all day
Jess’ scrappy orphan sounds so much like Harley Quinn
2:14 this bit fuckin GOT me
really is a musical edging.
I thought that was Danny Gonzalez in the thumbnail at first 😭
some people are cinnamon raisin... too saweet!
josh is so annoying I love it
Jobutupaki!
The musical version of edging is the last scene of Whiplash
Did they ever just give the contestants a prompt and then proceed to not cut them off for the remainder of the episode?
EVERYTHING BAGEL?? LIKE FROM THE MOVIE??
YES I KNEW I WASNT THE ONLY ONE
If you want the ACTUAL musical version of edging, you should just listen to "The Only Thing They Fear Is You" from DOOM Eternal. There are like 15 points where it feels like it's going to drop and then it just goes into a different pre-drop.
criminal title
need to thank brennan for that
LMAO Amaaaaazing!
@1:07 cheap special effects to pretend Josh is still hiding, but is removed in After Effects or something. That's lame... I didn't know they cheated this way
…? They could just reuse footage tho
thats... his glasses.
Don't eat poppy seeds before a drug test folks
Strong title
no i think your just looking for post rock
what does this skit have to do with mowing grass?
what a title
1:38 😭😭😭😭
you didn't have to say it like that but hey
Josh 😂
