Ted's prediction of what would happen if Bill went to get his daughter was 100% correct - she was dead and Bill died too. One of the jobs of the "b@stard" character in a show is to say the things the others are too polite or in too much denial to say.
@@seanmcmurphy4744 Ted is one great b@stard 💛
@@hayamihinata4135 He's so d@mn good at being bad LOL ❤
the "time b@stard" :)
THE FIRST HINT OF NERDY PRUDES (Grace Chasity being mentioned!!!!!)
@@billyboy993 excited!
Bill’s death is honestly the saddest in the show. All the other deaths are undercut by jokes, but Bill’s death was just devastating.
@@four_girls_in_search_of_awesom this is so true!! And the most shocking! Never underestimate the love between a father and daughter! 😭
Great point! Bill is the most virtuous character in the show, he's not cynical or having an affair like the others (cue the sad violins)
tbh I never saw it as their humanity peaking through, but as the aliens pretending that the person they took over is still in there somewhere in order to mess with/lure in their loved ones
little note that broke my heart- at the beginning of the show, bill said alice was 18. in this song, she says shes 17. bill is so disconnected from his daughter that he cant get her age right
No she's saying she was 17 when the divorce went through and she had to move
in the commentary nick said ppl were looking more into it than intended,bill simply rounded her age up
Lol I will over analyze this too, why does the song say tween?? Tweens are like 11-13???
@@standardhuman8675 oh no!!! He really cares though!
@@four_girls_in_search_of_awesom when she says "i'm not that tween that you drove here for" i'm pretty sure she's saying that bill hasn't moved past seeing her as a tween. it fits with the rest of the song where she's implying that bill doesn't really know her and that his "neglect" is why she's now dead (which of course must be taken with a MASSIVE grain of salt as it is likely just the hivemind manipulating bill by appearing to confirm his fears, rather than them actually telling the truth)
It's interesting to note that this is the first song I think where we catch the aliens in a lie - "you're right about Deb, she's a hard-core stoner" is at odds with the earlier scene where Deb protects Alice from peer pressure by the "smoke club." This is very much an emotional manipulation song, and I'm not so sure that the aliens wouldn't be above pretending to still have bits of the person's original self still inside to manipulate people better.
Also, I think Paul and Bill leaving is where they put the act break when they were doing the show, but it's not declared outright like in Black Friday. Nerdy Prudes also hides it's act break, though I think it'll be little easier to sense where it was when you watch it.
I also saw a comment, i think on the musical itself, that said the opening line to Alice's entrance is manipulation too. "It's all your fault. That's the last thought I had before *they* broke down the door." But on the phone call, it seems to be a decent inference that Alice may be blaming herself for the situation ("no, don't you say that... everything is going to be fine"), and the hivemind is twisting the vague statement to hurt Bill.
@@nutelasaur9453 love this love this love this
I love all the little jokes about musicals like the Moana "audition" that the professor puts them through, and the 3 zombies 20:43 having to pause to get their speech synchronized. I heard somewhere that bit was from rehearsals where Lauren, Jaime Lyn and Mariah were having trouble getting through the synchronized dialog, so the director just decided to incorporate it into the show.
yep Mariah i believe mentioned it in her Q&A video. Funnily they were struggling to harmonise so they added the joke which inadvertently made their life harder cause they had to sync up more 😂
yea that pausing to get the speech synchronized was definitely added later because it’s not in the script!
The saddest part about Ted yelling at Bill is that I’m not convinced he was doing it just to state the facts. I truly believe that Ted was trying to convince himself it wasn’t worth going back for Pete by standing on how useless it would be.
Oh fuck... You just made me cry, you literal monster... 😢😢😢
Fuck... That was intense, no joking, but now it gives it more perspective... And I can never unsee it, for sure. 😳
@@arnaugarcesbaldo4350 here’s the tissue box friend… 🧽
@@arnaugarcesbaldo4350the saddest part is that we saw that Pete was already infected earlier, when he was singing and dancing in La Dee Da Da Day. 😭
"Imagining this is my daughter" aaaand I'm crying
@@emmacarena9911 sammmmeeee
look what happens nightmare time!!!
5:40 A popular theory as to why Ted is such an asshole during this scene is because of the fact that his brother, Peter (a main character in Nerdy Prudes), is likely at the high school and dead as well
Hopefully this isn’t a spoiler in any way (I’ve only recently joined the fandom) but if it is I’m sorry 😭
@@astrono815 OHHHHHH we never know what is truly going on behind someone’s eyes. Honestly, I showcase my fear in anger because I don’t like appearing vulnerable.
Bill singing the lion king cracks me up every time, he’s just doing his best lol
@@four_girls_in_search_of_awesom for real! You literally saw me have to watch it again! I would’ve watched it a 3rd time if y’all weren’t watching bahah
Welcome to Mariah’s a great singer and true welcome into Starkid.
Also in the sing the beginning of Moana scene, it is funny how Paul is the best singer in that scene. Given how it was said that he babysat Bill’s daughter, Alice in the past, I like to think she made him go see that movie with her.
Also also, Ted behavior prior to Bill and Paul leaving makes so much sense with the context of something revealed later in Nightmare Time 2. It is kinda sad when you know it 💙🩷💚💛💜
I literally was thinking the same thing, the implications….
The implications...
@@snufkinwufkin9247 promise me you’ll think about the implications!!
Assuming this is set in the same year it was released, Paul wouldn't have been babysitting Alice when Moana came out. It came out just a year before this.
I remember someone saying that Paul has seen every musical he can, just to confirm that he still doesn't like them.
You're not ready 😢(I think you've already recorded this, but none of us are ever truly ready)
A preview for those not ready:
🤔😏😵
😰😑😬
😨🥹😮
What i find interesting is that this scene is also Ted lashing out because he's hurt. Like, he ends up right, but he just lost charlotte, who we saw he actually did care for ("you could upgrade [...] but you refuse to be happy" was something he meant and he left her hurt) and also other context for this character that makes it pretty clear he's kind of projecting his own grief onto Bill.
This is my favourite thing about Ted. It's so subtle but the signs are there. I like to imagine in one version of Hatchetfield Ted and Charlotte got to be happy together
these scenes are definitely my favorite and (in my opinion) some of the best acted in the show. the audience is completely silent after not your seed and i totally understand why. it’s such an absolute gut punch and bill is just trying his hardest :( also notice how the motif of alice singing “look what happens nightmare time” is actually the first thing you hear when act ii starts and also in the nightmare time theme song, the opening of tgwdlm, and the opening of black friday! that motif will come up eeeeeverywhere, so keep an ear out!
@@aurih.8984 *engage active listening ears* 👂
Also notice the nightmare time theme here :)
@@georga2020 OHHHH
My favorite song of the show
Me too, it doesn’t get the love it deserves
@@alexisbidule5555 hope y’all enjoyed!
I love your analogy of resonant vocals as driving a stick shift. I knew exactly what you mean (I drove a stick shift for years)
@@seanmcmurphy4744 oh I’m glad that clicked for someone!! My metaphors often don’t land until they are put into practice
Something about Mariah's performance here told me she was an awesome Regina George in Mean Girls and - having watched the TH-cam vids of her in the show - she looked to be even better than I imagined/expected. 🔥 👌 thanks for the vid Ashley, loving this series. ❤
@@shesalilsapphicokay it’s the style! And then having back up singers like Gretchen and Karen helps too lol
I've waited for your reaction on this song!! I really love how it changes between sections and how Mariah Rose Faith moves so beautifully through them, so hearing you analysis is incredibly educational and interesting
@@theycallmeHeaven I love this so much!! I have SO MUCH RESPECT for writers of all levels. I have a student who writes and I beg her to tell me all the BTS of her stories and why she chose certain moments to happen.
Her: “Mrs Ashley, I came to sing today”
Me: “oh my bad! Let’s sing!”
I also LOVE that you still stood your ground on your own points and respected other’s opinions as well! That will take you SO FAR in life. It’s so beautiful that we all have different perspectives and world views of this world. We are one giant living art piece! As for this musical, it beautiful in the same way. I love that we don’t get EVERY question answered in the show. It opens up our own interpretation to what is happening and it becomes an art piece!
Thank you so so much for your comment and singing with me! Sing with you soon!
@@singwithAshley I adore the fact that StarKid does not spell everything out for the audience so we have room for these discussions! I’m definitely the kind of person who argues for sport (I ended up studying media academically on top of being a writer, it’s basically an occupational hazard ˆˆ’ ), so the fact that StarKid trusts their audience to find their own interpretations in their art is not only a beautiful way of connecting with people, but a gift specifically for me. :D It also gives space for people who want to make their own productions of StarKid’s musicals, so they can create works of art that reflect them too. If you haven’t been told yet, StaKid actually offers licensing on some of their musicals on their website! They have even made school-friendly versions so younger people have a chance of performing the shows too. xD
(Also, you sound like a wonderful teacher. It is lovely to hear that people/kids get to have teachers/adults in their life who encourage their creativity and boost their confidence by being interested in what they care about.
I fucking love Joey’s performance as Ted here, one of my favorites from him in any show
Idk if anyone has pointed it out, but Hot Chocolate Boy from the beginning is Peter Spankoffsi, Ted's little brother you met in Abstinence Camp and whos the main characterin NPMD (different actors each time). So think about Ted's rant at Bill and remember he's thinking about his baby brother
Unsure if it’s been mentioned yet, but the title of nightmare time comes from this song. “Look what happened, nightmare time”, and the jingle that happens at the beginning of the NMT theme song is the melody of that as well. Next time you watch NMT and that jingle comes you can sing “look- what happ,ned- nightmare time” (I tried the write the melody in text but it’s difficult lol)
@@roughfoxy101 hahah good effort! I get what you’re saying though! Super cool! Thanks for singing with me!
Grace Chasity!!! I love how that character was planed from the beginning and has mentions in both prior musicals... In Black Friday, Tom calls in Emma and Paul to babysit Tim because "Grace" was unavailable... I'm just shocked at how well all the stories blend... I'll say more, but you need to watch a lot of nightmare time and another whole musical XXD
Also excited for the next song because it's the first one I translated and gave me the inertia to translate the whole musical to catalan... Also... It's... A... Showstopper XD
Ahh I am so excited for this! (also I might be in love with Mariah‘s voice)
@@consequenceoferror4727 good voice to be in love with!
@Ashley Kennedy
I love Ted as a character. He's so complex. Yes he's an asshole, but he's an asshole with a heart. That whole scene, Ted wasn't being mean to Bill. He was trying to save Bill's life because, deep down, he considers Bill his friend and cares about him. I love that Ted is the practical one of the group and that he knew that Bill was emotionally compromised so he tried to be the voice of reason, but nobody actually listened to him because he's such an asshole.
Also, I love that Bill is 100% correct when he says, "I'm the reason they trapped her. It's my fault." However, he is incorrect about WHY it's his fault. It's not Bill's fault because he was trying to keep Alice apart from Deb. It's Bill's fault because he's such a good Father that Alice loves him more than her Mother. Alice got off the bus, not to be with Deb, but to be with Bill. She got off the bus because she didn't want to go back to Clivesdale. She wanted to stay in Hatchetfield and live with Bill. Which Pokey reveals to Bill during the song in an effort to manipulate him. She only went to Deb first because she wanted to surprise Bill later with the fact that she chose him over her Mother. Basically, she needed something to do while waiting for Bill to get off work. So she went to go hang with Deb. Also, I assume Deb knew what Alice was planning and agreed to spend the day with her so I don't think Deb got a "Surprise Alice" at her doorstep.
Oh and Fun Fact: Mariah was 19 years old when they performed this show. So she was, actually, age accurate to the character of Alice.
@@ForeverDegenerate that’s crazy! I didn’t realize she was so young!!
She actually wasn't that young. According to Google she was born in December 1995 so she would have been 22.
@@singwithAshley Oh wait I take that back, she was 22. For some reason I thought she was 19. Still, she was young. And close enough to be age appropriate for the character.
@@ForeverDegenerate she’s such a good actor that she fooled you! 😳🤣 happens to me more than i would like to count dear friend
Okay but how funny would it have been if you'd stopped the video at 2 minutes in after the first "song" finished. XD
Oh yeah, this would be a tough scene for a parent to watch. Sucks because Bill is trying so hard but there have been things that have made it hard for him to be a dad. Such a messy and real relationship. Also Grace Chasity is a nerdy prude! Can't wait for next time :)
@@grassiehalls3922 it’s kind of beautiful in the fact that it does create a connection to many mother daughter relationships out there. You’re right, it’s so real. Which I think they get away with so beautifully because of all the comedic relief
Don't know if anyone has mentioned the hilarious detail that Paul - despite hating musicals - knows all of the Moana opening song. I think in a previous version of the script he was actually a film critic for the local paper which was how he might have known it but I like to think he is constantly subjected to musicals unwillingly no matter how hard he tries to avoid them.
This premiered while I was on vacation seeing the newest Starkid show, lol. Can't wait for you to see it, I think you'll enjoy it.
Mariah is just so talented she makes me jealous. I love her, so much.
Ahh! you got to see Cinderellas castle?! I bet it was wonderful!
@@singwithAshley It was SO GOOD, I can't wait for you to see it!
@@Lady_Ginnie ME EITHER!
Im just so excited for you to see the rest of this. The best is yet to come!!!!
@@pinksenshi9690 😳
ugh what a good song
@@ilikemario6965 UGH I KNOW
I saw this and screamed
Ur probably not going to see this comment, but after you finish reacting to this and Nerdy Prudes Must Die do you think you can react to Spies are Forever? It’s one of my favorite musicals and has great songs, and has a lot of starkid actors in it too.
@@Anonymoustoothbrush-il1gf Hi 👋 I see everything 👀 so happy you’re here singing with me! I can promise that I am going to be reacting to Starkid Musicals for quite awhile! What I can’t promise is the order because I leave that to my watchers! Make sure to stay tuned and scream it out when it’s time!! Comforting fact: you’re not the first I’ve seen suggest this! Sing with you soon!
🎶There is no escaping from the song it is upon you. You will join us and die🎶
LOOK WHAT HAPPENS, NIGHTMARE TIME
Even tho Mariah is here in a couple of characters I always have trouble recognizing her voice. Steph from Nerdy Prudes and Alice from this don't sound the same to me. Am I crazy?
@@Daiskken Mariah is great with character voices and may not always sound the same! Not crazy at all!
Plus any number of years difference, she’s worked on things etc
Could you react to ado maybe, she is a j-pop singer with insane voice control, even in her live performances she might even be better in her live then her non-lives, even if she doesn’t sing in English she makes it so you can feel the emotion, if you don’t want to it’s fine though 😅
when I start adding in extras to my schedule (which I plan on doing eventually), remind me and I will for sure!
