@loftydabird54 in the Forever&Always/Time Bastard timeline, after the homeless man(Ted) crashes their wedding, Emma reveals to Paul that she isnt the real Emma Perkins, that she died years ago in a trip in south america and she took over her life. Then, when the real Emma shows up alive, the fake one is reavealed to be an android, Emdroid then kills real Emma in a fight. After all that Paul says he is okay with her being an android becuz he is also a clone of the real Paul, the 23th clone to be precise.
Jon Matterson's voice is genuinely very good. He needs more songs where he's the main singer because when he gets so sing it really is majestic. Also he deserves it after having only sung for 1 and a half songs in TGWDLM.
I have the feeling that every single person in hatchetfield hates clivesdale with a fiery veangance and clivesdale just? doesn't care? Like they're like "oh, yeah, the town over the Nantucket bridge, Hatchetfield. They're kinda weird" and hatchetfield is just like "I WILL FEAST ON THE BONES OF YOUR FIRSTBORN" and clivesdale is just standing there half paying attention like "man, these guys, am I right?" idk but imagining the feud as one-sided just makes it way funnier.
Clivesdale: and this is our sister city Hatchetfield, they're a little weird but we love them for it Hatchetfield, foaming at the mouth: i'm going to fucking kill you you're the worst city I will destroy everything you love Clivesdale: they're so silly sometimes :D
I think it'd be funny if Clivesdale treated the rivalry as a fun little game. Like "We need to beat Hatchetfield at the big game! Let's go team!" Not knowing that everyone in Hatchetfield would not hesitate to kill them.
The absolute irony that if Grace had been interviewed by any of the local cops instead of Shapiro and said "It was Clivesdale" they would have 100% bought it 😂😂
But way less creepy, feels like a robert character to me. Majestic unhinged, threatening but somehow adorable while jeff characters are more eeew, get the me insect repellent and a lighter as a makeshift flamethrower. Talented and charismatic shre, but also deeply uncomfortable
Max loving the prank only to die immediately absolutely broke my heart. This poor guy actually wanted to be their friend, and as soon as he realized that about himself, he was back on track to hating them.
Also when Peter asks if he looks like Lin Manuel Miranda and Richie says "a bit like the homeless guy, but he is scary as well" referencing that Joey played the homeless guy in TGWDLM. Sad that the scene didn't make the cut here
@@DParkerNunya That’s great. I’m not a huge fan of musical theater. Too much trauma from theatre kids in hs. 😂 Star Kid has been my gateway to enjoying it as an adult.
Maybe it's me, but Max is the only one (outside of her family) that audibly pronounces Grace's surname correctly. I find that positively adorable, especially with his pronunciations of "rendez-voos" and "skele'ins".
@@babymaxxieso her actually name is grace chasity, outside of her parents everyone calls her grace chasTITty, as in chastity because thats her whole thing. Its a play on her name but also on her character.
@@jaderose5612 Right! I kept thinking "Jeff Blim totally wrote this part for himself" but then handed it off and Will absolutely murdered it to glorious effect. The duet between him and Jon as killer and victim was mind-blowing.
I’ve read a theory that the Lords in Black may have been wearing the skin of some of the fallen characters in the story so far [whose skin is being worn is a point of contention, but most people following the theory agree that 1) Blinky is wearing Ruth because Ruth was an outsider looking in for most of her life and 2) Wiggly is wearing Richie because they pronounce Stephanie’s name the exact same unique way and it feels like Wiggly’s type of sadism to lead the pack as the first to die]
@@caliharris898 The mayor and his assistant would fit too! It's especially cruel when it's Steph's father and even though she doesn't like the assistant that's brutal. The only one missing would be who Tinky is but we could theorize that he's wearing someone who will or should have died in that timeline
The fact that they added in so many other cast members that werent able to be in the main cast so they could still be included in the pro shot😭😭😭 I saw the digital ticket but the second Jae showed up I was SCREAMING
I was watching that part late last night, like 2:00 AM late, and i lost my shit because I saw Ziggs I had to cover my mouth so fast I really thought I was gonna wake my parents 😂
Idk what it is, but Will Branner embodies Jeff's stage mannerisms/confidence, facial expression, and his menacing vibes so well. I miss Jeff being onstage but damn, Will Branner is PERFECT casting.
@@yuarentlucky Idk personally, he still wrote the music for this one. My guess is that either he didn't want to be on stage for this musical or he didn't think he'd be a good fit.
See, I think Jeff wouldn’t have been quite right, because even though max is completely unhinged, he has this little shred of innocence that makes the character more interesting. Like for example, I feel like if it was Jeff delivering the “Skele’on” line, it would just come across…deranged? But with Will in more just makes you go “what a ridiculous dumbass.” If that makes sense??
It's also impressive to find someone of similar vocal ability as Jeff. (Not saying Jeff wrote the songs to personally fit his range.) The NPMD song itself i feel is a great example of this match, especially the bridge 2:07-2:45 on the soundtrack. Will wrote that Jeff is "a genius" and i certainly agree! Bravo to Will and Jeff!
@@whatcanidoooagree when I wpuld have yhpught of eobert who is sadly out of question as somwk e who can pull of the voicw skills, play unhinged but compelling and kinda adorable to get the whole balancw right. Max ia threatening, but not creepy eeew get the flame thrower like jeffs characters usually are. The all out drama withlut overdoing it is qhat makes max so compelling andfun to watch, jeff would have had given him entiry different vibes. But yes it was written as If they find no one else, jeff takes the role as last resort
I honestly find it really sad that they were actually on the way to redeeming Max before he fell to his death. Makes you think of what would've been if he had watched his step...
The barbecue monologues is my absolute favourite, Joey is so good at that kind of comedy. I was also kinda expecting Richie trying to get out of the mascot costume to appear in this though, because that's also iconic. Maybe there are too many good moments to get them all in 1 video
ykw rewatching the "two-bagger" scene im looking at jason and like. he's totally figured out that kyle's in danger after he explains it. like nervous ass "haha im just gonna go along with this and hope he doesn't fuck me up too" type laughter.
I'd argue he figured it out right after he said it and Max turned to him. You can feel the atmosphere shifting and Jason's laughter was already nervous. Even during the songs, he didn't seem to be as victimized as Kyle, IMO because he's smarter and easily recognizes when Max's mood shifts
for me this is so much more than the roman empire. Ill be religiously rewatching this so much that i can play the whole show myself like Joey in trail to oregon or brian in solve it squad.
Ngl at first i thought Max and Grace we're going to be siblings, thats why Max is protective of her. And when he did the dirty girl thing i was in pure shock bc my first thought was "i dont think siblings should talk like that"
yesss there are so many fantastic moments in this show. the repeated 'i'm not a loser' throughout the songs has to be my favourite part ever, especially richie's moment singing it
9:38 sure does feel like 5 years... I wonder why... (if anyone's wondering, its a reference to the guy who didnt like musicals where a customer looking like a nerd interrupts the same conversation between those two people but we never see him get his hot chocolate, and that was 5 years ago)
I've gotta say I almost didn't believe Jeff Blim did the music and lyrics again - I love Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals and the songs are bops. My only minor complaint with the previous show is it felt like the songs weren't written for human beings with lyrics that were funny but a bit hard to sing and understand without subtitles, and the top notes in some of the male vocals were a bit ridiculous (which sort of makes sense when you know what's going on in that show with people who sing). Nerdy Prudes is like a 5000% improvement - allowing for the fact they post-edited the sound (some slight pitch correction and likely re-sang some chorus vocals in the booth for balance) this entire score is incredible. "Literal Monster" hits every musical theater nerd erogenous zone as a thesis statement that defines that character and what the show is about. That guy is a star and of course he's totally on Broadway now. Mariah, Lauren, Joey, Jon, and Corey all have material that feels specifically written for them and stretches what they can do and what we've seen them do. Lauren's song is like "here's the weirdest theatrical number you can imagine, WATCH HOW BRILLIANT LAUREN IS!" I've never seen Angela but now I want to look up everything she's done. Bryce is amazing - at first I didn't connect she was the detective and the cheerleader and I kept going "where's this extra cast member?" and that solo break almost feels like it goes into _Pink Floyd_ territory. Kim and Curt do amazing work in supporting tracks - they kept teasing a reprise of "Show Me Your Hands" which I would have been on board for to feature them but likely would have confused anyone not familiar with the previous show. Paul and Emma's cameo was hilarious fan service and I'm so glad they get to keep trying to be together in parallel universes in this crazy town where terrible things keep happening with tragicomic results.
Seeing cast members like Jon, Kim, and Mariah branching out into other roles makes me wonder: It was weird, but fun seeing Jon as anyone other than Paul. Did the fans think the same when OGs like Lauren and Joey first played characters other than Draco and Ron?
NPMD must die was my first foray into starkid but i was immediately onsessed with Ziggs' saying "i certainly don't LOVE killing" so glad to see that featured here
Finally around the Starkid fandom for a new reveal, happy to be here, HOLY SHIT WHAT A FIRST ENTRY TO EXPERIENCE IN REAL TIME AMIRITE Also I personally headcanon that the meteor brain is an estranged writer from an alien planet that decided to go hive-mind on Earth to bring to life their Stephen King-style horror multiverse and they’re currently stuck figuring out how to move the timeline past the invasion of a Dark Lord on Black Friday, Starkid fans how crazy do I sound please let me know this headcanon is morphing into my Roman Empire
@@risottopose9970 Because of the theater mask? Maybe… idk I’m just kind of trying to find a way to keep to a single timeline instead of three musicals with three separate bad ends where the Lords in Black take over. Totally could be, though. Maybe the whole idea is this critical point in the timeline across every reality where the world is destined to get FUCKED and Hatchetfield is the vector of infection every time?
@@theinimitablejora522Well timeline wise I think Black Friday takes place some time post when TGWDL musicals would’ve taken place while This Musical could be set at anytime but probably before where Black Friday would be because Emma and Paul aren’t dating yet. I think the current consensus is that the big event that connects everything is the birth of Hannah Foster which created a kind of diverge in time (or maybe a time loop as there are a few references to time repeating in Nightmare Time and Black Friday)
I really liked TGWDLM, really DIDN’T like Black Friday, but this one brought me back in, it’s so campy. The only thing I didn’t really love in this one was Grace Chastity, but then again, she IS just a nerdy prude 😂
I liked Black Friday, even more so after the second watch, but yeah, it was kinda meh for me. NPMD, though? Fucking slaps, on the same level as TGWDLM imo!
The devil works fast but Starkid fans work faster i guess

The skeleton one was Nick's pronunciation request
@@Lissie111 incredible
The fact that he says "skele'un" SO MANY TIMES
Skella-in ruins me
Lol totally lost on me as their accents are too thick for me!
My headcanon is that Max thinks proper choreography is for nerds, that's why his little dance segment in Literal Monster is sheer chaos 😂
😂
hes such a jock
He is a closeted theater kid, he has to make up for it by being super extra dramatic
no one could play grace chastity like angela. she brings the insanity
She’s the female Jeff Blim✨
I can’t believe you’re defending Grace Chastity.
Angela is an absolute delight, still bringing the feral Guinea pig energy even to a nerdy prude
@@Jediwinner AT LEAST SHE’S NICE TO ME AT CHURCH
i don't like angela, sorry. i actually think Jamie should have been Grace but she's off doing Stranger Things things
My favorite thing is how no matter the timeline, Paul and Emma always find each other
SAME 🥺
LITERALLY 😭 THEY'RE SO CUTE TOGETHER
Even as an android and a clone they manage to find each other.

I can't believe the barbecue monologue is not in this I feel betrayed 😢
im sorry...
It makes me authentically angry how good that song is. It has no reason or right to be that good.
That’s because the bbq monologue is the worst part of the show😂

You absolutely should watch honey queen/nightmare time, we get a lot of Linda and Gerald
Richard saying “Im not a loser” is forever projected in my head like a lobotomy aftermath
The "I remember the candy and rainbow" shouldn't be as chill-inducing as it is, but here we are. What fantastic vocals
Chekhov’s cell phone fake-out, another banger from the Lords in Black
6:06 wow haha im so glad the musical ended here and then nothing bad ever happened to anyone ever. what a nice ending :)

Lauren's song is like "here's the weirdest theatrical number you can imagine, WATCH HOW BRILLIANT LAUREN IS!" I've never seen Angela but now I want to look up everything she's done. Bryce is amazing - at first I didn't connect she was the detective and the cheerleader and I kept going "where's this extra cast member?" and that solo break almost feels like it goes into _Pink Floyd_ territory. Kim and Curt do amazing work in supporting tracks - they kept teasing a reprise of "Show Me Your Hands" which I would have been on board for to feature them but likely would have confused anyone not familiar with the previous show. Paul and Emma's cameo was hilarious fan service and I'm so glad they get to keep trying to be together in parallel universes in this crazy town where terrible things keep happening with tragicomic results.
Angela was Lex in Black Friday
No but hear me out. I'm sure 8:23 is the best riff in starkid history
2:15 his disappointment could be scooped up with bare hands at this point
Also the fact that Steph is with him on that, for a moment there. Like, “Yup, I see it. Not my proudest moment.”
Seeing cast members like Jon, Kim, and Mariah branching out into other roles makes me wonder: It was weird, but fun seeing Jon as anyone other than Paul. Did the fans think the same when OGs like Lauren and Joey first played characters other than Draco and Ron?
Yeah, lauren and joey to this day get called draco and ron, dylan dumbledore etc
This 8:03 section is one of my favourites, her voice

She's amazing!! She's been on Broadway and she's a voiceover actress too!

Maybe… idk I’m just kind of trying to find a way to keep to a single timeline instead of three musicals with three separate bad ends where the Lords in Black take over. Totally could be, though. Maybe the whole idea is this critical point in the timeline across every reality where the world is destined to get FUCKED and Hatchetfield is the vector of infection every time?
@@theinimitablejora522Well timeline wise I think Black Friday takes place some time post when TGWDL musicals would’ve taken place while This Musical could be set at anytime but probably before where Black Friday would be because Emma and Paul aren’t dating yet. I think the current consensus is that the big event that connects everything is the birth of Hannah Foster which created a kind of diverge in time (or maybe a time loop as there are a few references to time repeating in Nightmare Time and Black Friday)
Am i reading as ghost or lin manuel miranda. That is so fucking iconic
this musical will stay on my mind for the rest of my life. i almost threw up twice

"Tastyy~ 😈😋"
"Oh- 😒"
"We dont give a shit about your phone!" is so fucking funny imo
I really liked TGWDLM, really DIDN’T like Black Friday, but this one brought me back in, it’s so campy. The only thing I didn’t really love in this one was Grace Chastity, but then again, she IS just a nerdy prude 😂
i LOVED Black Friday but I respect the opinion

Nightmare time gave me an appreciation for Black Friday, personally.
I liked Black Friday, even more so after the second watch, but yeah, it was kinda meh for me. NPMD, though? Fucking slaps, on the same level as TGWDLM imo!
