KilBrain I'm talking about the episode as a whole. When actors submit themselves for nomination they choose one episode of the season to represent their body of work. I'm saying this should be the one submitted for him.
Random Guy Because that's an entirely different category. And Titus has been nominated before and is frequently touted as one of the front runners. So it's definitely possible. (Though it's likely Alec Baldwin's Trump impersonation takes the Emmy)
damn... how....? this is a comedy show. yet this parody is making me tear up thinking about all the loved and lost relationships I had in my life. damn you Titus
YungBased FryGod What I find amazing the most is that it is still a super funny song and one chuckles at every second line and in the last few seconds of the song BOOM he managed to change the emotion so drastically that you go straight from laughing to crying. 😢 Love it!
‘True love is harder and true love is more work than pleasure’ cuts so deep as it is especially if you’ve really tried to mend a relationship. But following it up with ‘you lose what you have and pray it comes back to you better’ is just so true to life and soul crushing. Hard to believe this comes from one of the funniest shows
When Titus hits that note with *“true love, woah”* you really feel it. How I can feel so much emotion while someone sings about zoodles as two alcoholics robots make out, I don’t know, but sometimes pop songs don’t really rhyme.
When he said "broke my wings so you could fly", I felt that. The emotion in this video is so overwhelming. Like, you wouldn't expect this to put you in your feelings and make you giggle. He should've won that emmy, for real.
What I loved about this, and mostly the series, is how it hides real emotional depth behind comedy. Like it tells honestly how much Titus loved Mikey but at the same time makes us laugh and it’s really honestly beautiful.
This is the only time Kimmy Schmidt made me cry for real and not from laughter. This is a powerfully emotional song sung exquisitely by Titus Burgess. I think it’s his best song of the whole series. You can hear the pain and soul baring truth in every note. And see the tears in Titus’s eyes. He pulled from something personal in this performance. Something real from his own life. It’s just to honest and raw a performance to have not been rooted from personal experience. And it also shows his character’s growth and the self sacrifice that goes along with really loving someone. When he sings “Broke my wings so you could fly”, “true love is harder and true love is more work than pleasure. You lose what you love and pray it comes back to you better”, and then he hits that huge expansive crescendo note and bridge and he sings “true love is exhausting”; and it breaks me in two. Every time. I feel that so deep. I’ve been there. More than once. And still am sometimes. Because true love IS exhausting. It’s an endless giving of self and self sacrifice and sometimes that is exhausting. Been with my partner a decade now. And it’s still exhausting at times. Real love with a relationship or marriage that lasts any expanse of years will be exhausting at times. It’s inevitable. And that’s what love really is. There’s an amount of selflessness in true, real love. This song is the truth. So insightful, heartbreaking, beautiful and even has a few funny lines (it’s the reason I bought a Patty LaBelle pie a few years back at Thanksgiving 🤣). And it’s a truly beautiful vocal and emotional performance from Mr. Burgess. This episode should have won him the Emmy.
Honestly this version is so much more emotional and heartbreaking than the original. Like it's funny but i personally feel like this had a way harder punch than the original. Miley and Titus forever.
"True love is harder and true love is more work than pleasure" always got me. I want to see Titus in more work. I don't care what it is, I want to see more of Titus
when I tell you this song always makes my little sister and I break down into tears! omg i had to work hard not to cry for the billionth time. one of my fave songs jeez

okay i seriously want a real Tituss Burgess cover of All Night! not only is his voice amazing but even with these joke lyrics he made me actually cry! WOW mans got talent!!!
I'm from the UK so I was just vibing along thinking Patty Labelle pie was a gloriously random lyric for campy good times. The magic is slightly lost now 😂
It’s not easy being able to tread on the tight rope between sad emotion and comedy, but this song does a good job at it. It makes me laugh but also tear up once it starts showing the footage of Mikey and Titus in their relationship.
True love is harder and true love is more work than pleasure You lose what you have and then pray it comes back to you better The song is supposed to be funny but holy cow 10/10 lyrics
He did it again. Titus you make me cry. When a comedian makes you cry out of love and compassion than he is the top of the top performer. Better than the original!
This song might be “comedic” but his voice is so damn beautiful. All of the covers were iconic but this one is a damn masterpiece. I love the entire “Robert Durst” character by Fred Armisen. God I miss this show, so many iconic moments, quotes and characters.
True love is harder and true love is more work than pleasure You lose what you have and then pray it comes back to you better- Tituss Burgess, God's Gift.
When you have to let go of someone because they aren't as experienced in Loving another human being as you are, it's honestly the hardest thing in the world to do. "True love is harder and true love is more work than pleasure, You lose what you have and pray it comes back to you better..." I'm sitting here on repeat cause I literally just went through this, man this guy and this show is more relevant to life (REAL LIFE) than a lot of shows out there.
"Broke my wings so you could fly. Baby gaybird I said goodbye.""
THIS IS ART.
I have such a heartache from this song and this line in particular.....
I thought “broke my wings so you could fly” was for sure from the original. Ugh. Nope. It’s better 😭
“Broke my wings so you could fly..I might be gay but I said good bi(goodbye)
it really is
This had more emotional weight than I anticipated. It's hilarious sure, but it's still pretty affecting.
ngl i totally cried while i was watching this episode
Journey Castillo
Me too😭😭
Journey Castillo : OMG yes! Crying right now. Titus is amazing.
yes
Glad it wasn't just me!
Titus is great. Titus is the best. Titus is growing.
Myles Gilbert 😂😂
Normally that would seem self absorbed but it came across really touching, iMO.
Titus is great. Titus is the best. Titus is learning.
@@Lee-vj2gt about truuuuuuueee looooovvveee.
"Sometimes pop songs don't really rhyme. This will sound fine to your mind!"
best line

_So let this painful year go by, and if your love for me doesn't die, I'll find you in the night like a firefly_
venus my favorite part.
This part got me
loved that sentence so much !
Tina Fey wrote that ❤️
I was so sad when I realized this wasn’t a line in the real song, it’s so perfect.
This is the episode that should be submitted for Emmy consideration. If this episode doesn't win Titus an Emmy, I honestly don't know what will.
Dan Lopez Can parodys win Emmy's?
Dan Lopez The Lemonade film itself couldn't win an Emmy, how would a parody?

I know! 😍
6 years later and I still adore this song!
damn... how....? this is a comedy show. yet this parody is making me tear up thinking about all the loved and lost relationships I had in my life. damn you Titus
Tim Martin titus is the best titus is growing
this really a testament to Titus Burgess awesome talent coz even with Tina Fey's crazy ass lyrics, he made so emotional.
ziib123 Tina Fey is fucking amazing, I don't know how she made such an amazing character with such an amazing actor
I agree. This is my guiltiest pleasure to watch. I loved her in Sisters. She and Amy Poehler are HILARIOUS!!!!!!!
ziib123 tina doesn't write the songs on the show her husband does and she while she's brilliant her husband and her are a great comedic team.
I sort of remember him saying that Tina writes the lyrics for his songs
I just read a couple of articles--she did write the lyrics for this.Jeff R writes the music for the lyrics.
"Let this painful year go by" - I lost my little sister last year and this single sentence and how Titus delivers it just brings tears to my eyes.
I am sorry for you're loss.❤
I sobbed my ass off. Titus never fails to sing with emotion and the same is true to this song. like damn Titus😭 stay with Mikey!!!!!
YungBased FryGod Yes! I cried and had no idea why lol
YungBased FryGod What I find amazing the most is that it is still a super funny song and one chuckles at every second line and in the last few seconds of the song BOOM he managed to change the emotion so drastically that you go straight from laughing to crying. 😢 Love it!
Except that he loves b00bs in California's
Can't believe 2 people disliked this. Titus' performance was beyond description!
It's Mikey's fancy new boyfriend and Jerf.
Bigots that just like to cry .
Really amazing. This song truly becomes the catalyst for the rest of the series. This is a criminally underrated show sadly.
I think I'm okay until they show him and mikey in the home videos and then I just lose it! 😩
lamphead003 I did too. I had to hold back some tears.
lamphead003
I cried when I saw that😭
I'm trying to hold it together like "It's just a show, it's just a show" X)
But the fact that he actually cried sent me
lamphead003 right 🙁😢
"you lose what you have and you pray it comes back to you better" i honestly wasn't ready
“true love is harder and true love is more work than pleasure. You lose what you have and pray it comes back to you better”
THAT IS TRUTH 😭
Still rooting for Titus & Mikey!
TIKEY FOREVER
Ryan Harvey they will get back together... They have to!!!
Yeah
DeParis Shaw they did :)
I really wasn't expecting to be so shaken by this. "This painful year" honestly made me ugly cry.
cizzam21 honestly same 😂😭😭😭
ooh just wait
@@nico-nh3rp ufff, no kidding... just as well they didn't know?

Anybody else treat this as a real song, and not a spoof?
YES. I still listen to this song to this day. I need it on all streaming platforms
Yessss
It’s better than the original 100%
IT'S 2024 and this song still hits. I haven't even bothered listening to Beyonce's version.
that's how comedy musicals should be done
Have you seen Crazy Ex?
Not yet but it's on my list ;)
Hamza F *cough* Glee *cough*
Austin McKee
Glee changes the lyrics?
WixkedLovy No, but it's still a good example of a comedy musical.
When Titus hits that note with *“true love, woah”* you really feel it. How I can feel so much emotion while someone sings about zoodles as two alcoholics robots make out, I don’t know, but sometimes pop songs don’t really rhyme.
2020 and still think he is the most underrated actor/singer ever!!
I WANT A FULL LEMONADE FROM TITUS. I've been rewatching these. They're all actually really good"D
Special Service Account same
lol when he says "I'M LEMONADING!"
This song will never get old! When he said I love you like a patti labelle pie and broke my wings so you could fly Omg
Ugh the way he sings "I'll find you in the night, like a fire fly" my heart
Yeah I totally cried.
When he said "broke my wings so you could fly", I felt that. The emotion in this video is so overwhelming. Like, you wouldn't expect this to put you in your feelings and make you giggle. He should've won that emmy, for real.
I actually cried when i saw this episode. So touching, so honest...it was nice to see Titus not being selfish.
What I loved about this, and mostly the series, is how it hides real emotional depth behind comedy. Like it tells honestly how much Titus loved Mikey but at the same time makes us laugh and it’s really honestly beautiful.
I'm waiting for the day on the show Titus gets his well deserved big break!
probably last season so hopefully it will take long
I dont even watch but SAME
Mz Kegz It HAPPENED!!

epic comment
Madeline aww thank you! I love your name btw. My daughter’s fav. Childhood books ❤️👍
no matter how many times i listen, when he belts out true love, shivers...everytime.
This was absolutely my favorite episode of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
i miss him
I loved you like a Patti Labelle pie..... Dear Lord, I'm crying !!
The airbrush painting of Tilda Swinton on the back of Mikey’s truck as he drives away always gets me.
He has a truly beautiful voice 💜
One of my most favorite characters in a show EVER!!!
You lose what you had and pray it comes back to you better. So powerful, very unexpected:/ :)
This only works because Titus Burgess is such an incredible singer!
Indeed.
Cosmickid77 absolutely!👏🏽
This is one of my favorite things. And absolutely was not prepared for the emotional trip this took me on.
I wish this was released as a full song, his voice is amazing ❤️
missvogelsang absolutely!!!!
i thought i was silly for crying over this (hit home a little, or a lot). glad i'm not the only one.
“i loved you like a patti labelle pie
Honestly this version is so much more emotional and heartbreaking than the original. Like it's funny but i personally feel like this had a way harder punch than the original. Miley and Titus forever.
there is an original to this? it seems very made up what with the crazy lyrics
Dezzyx this is beyonce, he re-wrote it.
Whats the name od the original??
@@noneya1238 what is the original?
@@fauziaa3609 Beyonce All Night.
And now I’m learning more about true love
A quote from this song
"True love is harder and true love is more work than pleasure" always got me. I want to see Titus in more work. I don't care what it is, I want to see more of Titus
I could listen to a whole album of this. Thank goodness my gf loves this show otherwise I would've missed out on this absolute gem
What a wonderful performer
I have probably watched this 100 times? LOVE!!!
I love this song omg
when I tell you this song always makes my little sister and I break down into tears! omg i had to work hard not to cry for the billionth time. one of my fave songs jeez

okay i seriously want a real Tituss Burgess cover of All Night! not only is his voice amazing but even with these joke lyrics he made me actually cry! WOW mans got talent!!!
Beside the point but-to this day-every time I hear or see the words “pinot noir” I think of Titus 😊😍🥰
Who’s here after that painful year went by, and Mikey’s love for him didn’t die, so Titus found Mikey in the night like a firefly?
When he hits that note on "true love..."
He is so underrated. I felt this song in my soul. Especially that ending. I currently feel this way about a guy.
i just went through my first break up and still not over it. the situation of the scene and the lyrics made me cry hard...😢
This song is so sad but i love it ❤❤💔❤💔❤💔❤💔 so many mixed emotions right now
The Three Boats Fr it has me in tears.
Ever since season one, I've always wanted Mikey to be with Titus. They are going to make it - - they just gotta. 😢😧😥
Hear, hear!
"if your "love me" doesn't die" is the most soul crushing lyric
"You lose what you have and pray it comes back to you better..." touched my soul
Damn this was 6 years ago 😅 how my life has CHANGED CHANGED since
This had way more heart than any of us could have expected.
I'm from the UK so I was just vibing along thinking Patty Labelle pie was a gloriously random lyric for campy good times. The magic is slightly lost now 😂
I think about this parody A LOT. The vocals....just ridiculous. Titus is almost unbelievable as a character cause Mr. Burgess is so freaking talented.
Titus lives in my brain 24/7
It’s not easy being able to tread on the tight rope between sad emotion and comedy, but this song does a good job at it. It makes me laugh but also tear up once it starts showing the footage of Mikey and Titus in their relationship.
This was actually pretty damn sad. Quite a surprise. I love it.
Titus has so much emotion in this song it brought me to tears. I loved this show and miss it. Nothing but love!!! ❤️🧡💚💛💙💜
True love is harder and true love is more work than pleasure
You lose what you have and then pray it comes back to you better
The song is supposed to be funny but holy cow 10/10 lyrics

this hit me so hard :O I wasn't expecting it at all.. this season was just amazing
This was the best song from this entire episode
The true love part with the montage crushes me it really shows that Titus really cared about Mikey, he was his first real love 💗
Still ugly crying from this in 2020. This song is too damn real.
True love is harder
and true love is more work than pleasure
You lose what you have
and then pray it comes back to you better- Tituss Burgess, God's Gift.
They sleep on this queen.. the vocals are Devine
I wish this was longer

Swallowing that lump you get in your throat while holding back tears with everything I’ve got.
How can a song be so emotional and funny at the same time ❓
katerlot they found the way
how is this version not on the radio and peoples ipods every day??? Such a freacking gem of a performance. Unbelievably moving
I never tought Titus and Mickey story could make me cry like a bitch... and here I am, eating ice cream and crying!
Same ahah
I especially love the line "You lose what you love and pray it comes back better."
This touchs my soul so deep. Titus is awesome.
they better get back together at the end of the series. Mikey & Titus FOREVER!
I've cried exactly 3 times at film and TV. Forest Gump, Bojack Horseman S6 E8, and this song right here.
Years later and I still listen to this whenever I need a love song
*'Titus is great. Titus is the best'* hell yeah he is
I actually found this quite beautiful and affecting.
My sister had to watch every episode building up to this to understand why I was sobbing uncontrollably at this scene
This is better than real stuff and at the other side this is not just a parody this is a masterpiece!
