      Also half (ooh more halves) half of me headcanons Sergio as this beautiful family man and then the other half of me thinks he lives alone and just doesn't want to walk into a meeting with the deadliest man alive with a box of cake that he was going to eat by himself.
      Like "gotta do this thing with the wife" really doesn't... sound like a thing that someone with a wife would say.

    honestly, torture tango is a bop and the overlapping vocals and the harmonies, joe's accent, mary kate wiles, curt etc etc etc.
    and the overlap of the lines "doesn't even matter if i killed my best friend" and "to show you the horror of staying alive" makes it all the more powerful when you realise the ending honestly i'm just cowen angst trash tbh it's just such a well-written song and it's so under-appreciated and i love it-

    Hello again,
    I hope you don’t mind but I did another ‘response to your comments’ comment
    0:29 James Bond who?
    1:38 I thought I was watching a ‘Hamilton’ bootleg?
    4:35 She is beauty, She is grace, She is Cynthia Houston and she will punch you in the face
    4:56 one special boi who deserves so much love
    5:11 M who?
    5:29 this song is what comes up when you google ‘passive aggressive’
    5:43 every girl dreams of having a guy like Venger Borschtit
    6:45 we need a documentary about ‘The Prince’ where everyone is super serious but ‘The Prince’ just keeps doing really weird stuff all the time in the background
    7:34 NEITHER CAN I! MK IS AMAZING
    8:59 YEAH CURT, STOP RUINING THE NAZIS SONG
    9:13 I love her so much :D (not in a creepy way, in a appreciative way)
    9:27 WHY! I just had flashbacks to ‘Inevitable’ and now I’m sad. Why must you hurt me this way?
    9:32 to 9:37 watch Gretel/Tessa in the background by Curt
    9:57 “MY NAME IS JEAN VALJEAN”
    10:27 I CAN DREAM OF THE OLD DAYS, I WAS BEAUTIFUL THEN
    10:49 No, I think he was a baker?
    10:58 I think he is just really drunk and he forgot that he was a baker
    11:29 wow! He must be so drunk to forget his whole career as a baker
    11:41 Do you think she was a part of the ‘Black Widow’ programme?
    11:59 voice of an angel
    12:26 every guy needs to take lessons from Sergio, he goes to his wives favourite bakery (maybe that’s where Curt works?), he remembers anniversaries. He’s a real good guy.
    13:15 get a friendship like Sergio and The Deadliest Man Alive.
    13:45 James Bond could never be this iconic!
    14:05 the first time I watched the musical and this song came up, I was like ‘great! Another hetero relationship’ so I was very pleasantly surprised by the end of the song.
    15:01 ALL HAIL, THE LORD AND SAVIOUR MRS MEGA
    15:12 the self awareness...
    15:35 Lauren Lopez, get you a girl who can do both :D
    16:18 Iconic Russian Queen!
    16:44 “I AM NOT THROWING AWAY MY SHOT”
    16:52 YESS I FEEL LIKE THIS PART OF THE SONG IS SO UNDERRATED!
    19:11 yes, I find this song is really enjoyable but very morbid at the same time
    19:15 to 19:57 another amazing MK moment
    19:47 I totally agree
    20:50 - 20:53 I love this joke
    22:03 I love this song so much but it is really sad, especially with Owen’s speech
    22:51 I have never laughed so hard! I love this part
    24:21 I want to do this one day
    Great video by the way!

Brian Rosenthal is amazing and I am a sucker for guys singing high notes, I am a sucker for harmonies, I am a sucker for just Lauren Lopez (my goddess), and this song is just too funny.
    There's just so much here I love about this musical. Like the three girls are my goddess and two amazing queens that I have been following for years. Also as far at Curt Mega as Agent Curt Mega goes, don't forget that Joey Richter starred as Joey Richter in MAMD.

    hey there kids, cats and possible wombats (what idk who watches my videos, i don't know your life)! so i've been thinking (shocking i know). normally at this point i'd ask you to vote on what you want me to rank next. HOWEVER. unless anyone is ready to dissolve into a puddle of tears and leave the internet 5ever if i don't do another ranking video RIGHT AWAY (somehow i doubt that's the case), i've got quite a few non-ranking ideas for other starkid related videos that i kinda wanna make. i've gotten some great requests from you guys, plus a few concepts of my own. SO. again, if you absolutely cannot handle anything but ranking videos from this channel, let me know, but if not, i've got some fun stuff coming, including (maybe, we'll see) a video that might actually include my FACE. that one might require some audience participation from y'all bc i have no real live friends who like starkid. also, don't worry, i'm still gonna keep doing these ranking vids regularly. keep sending me suggestions! pls! i have a very limited supply of originality! k cool thx bye if you've gotten to the end of this intensely long comment god bless

    Almost all of the songs in this musical, I listen to separately, and even those that I tend to skip over, are still great (like Not So Bad, And Barb’s Lament). That’s saying something, considering that I have a tendency to only listen to the songs that I really like - which usually happen to either be ballads or group numbers, e.g: Spy Again And Torture Tango. To put into context, with a musics like The Guy Who Doesn’t Like Musicals, I tend to skip over most of the songs, and only have a select few that I love to listen to (TGWDLM, Inevitable and Show Stopping Number.)
