A Comedy Musician Reacts | Stupendium Love Songs (RIP & TEAR/VENDING MACHINE OF LOVE) [REACTION]

Stupendium:” I know many writers who use subtext and they are all cowards”

[@DonaldKraus-v2y]

Why imply something subtly when you can get the same message across with a billboard, huge spotlights, and a ship's foghorn for emphasis? Stupes is amazing ❤

[@robertjamesgillan]

Fun fact: Apparently from what I saw from Stupes replying to one of his comments, he wrote the whole "Vending Machine of love" song in one single evening which is just absolutely baffling to me.

[@Insaneian]

Wow, thanks so much for the kind words! Glad you enjoy this one so much!

[@randomgoose9901]

I really recommend that you react to “bowsette” or “it just works” by the chalkeaters Plus I believe the reason why the doom eternal song was a love song was because his animal crossing song was dark, if you want to react to it the songs name is “nook line and sinker”

[@Insaneian]

Nook Line and Sinker is on the Patreon poll!

[@TheStupendium]

The reason I did Doom as a love song was because Doom demands a metal song. And I am NOT a metal musician. I can't make that style of music. So the idea of doing the exact opposite instead and making it the whole joke was very appealing to me! I made the Doom song before any Animal Crossing songs, but Covid delayed the video production. I had no plans to make Animal Crossing songs at all but I had a sudden gap in the schedule I had to fill!

[@randomgoose9901]

The Stupendium ohhh ok

[@mesaprime4368]

Wait, Ian is in time with a stupendium release? What black magic is this? Amazing reactions as always

[@alliecat5237]

vending machine of love once came up on my car playlist while i had my sister with me. i only realized after that drive was over that i never explained this was for a video game... though honestly im not sure if the context makes it any less weird. anyway. canpaining like barack thats a candidate. (my favorite part of this song is at the end of the bridge bc the whole bridge has just been the smoothest flow of can puns and then they abruptly switch and start delivering them in this abrupt jarring way. the delivery of "can-bodia" lives in my head rent free)

[@jschaffe123]

Love your videos! I'd recommend Stupendium's first song "Amateur Wordsmith". It's so much more unpolished than his later songs and yet you can already feel the brilliance.

[@epikitee2186]

So I've been subscribed to the Stupendium for a year now, and seeing both the first song that came out after I was subscribed and the newest song he's made right next to each other is how I realized that. How has it been a whole year/how has it only been a year?

[@kizukun001]

Gods, I laughed all through this set. The doom song my fav bit has to be that glass raise on "...you stole my heart, I tore out your organs". And I greatly enjoyed your enjoyment of the can song. Godda love the love n care he puts into even the most.... questionable of song choices. P.s. were you trying to use tonally? I'm not sure if that's a proper phrase but it's what I use when comparing tones n context.

[@Tulsa360]

No rush on reacting to them (I know you are letting your patrons pick). One thing I want to mention is that when you get to Milk Milk Lemonade also watch the answers video. Additionally, when you get to Find the Keys, there is a pinned comment/thread with all of the references and some of The Stupendiums thoughts on the song, so make sure to check that out. One of the things I appreciate about your reaction videos is that you give me a renewed perspective on The Stupendiums music. Thus far, most of his music that you have reacted to I would have considered on the weaker side of his discography. Not bad by any means, but 7/10's rather than the 8/10 or better, that I have come to expect from him. After watching your reactions however, that opinion has changed. You noticed many things I missed on the songs I considered only "good", which has given me a renewed appreciation for those songs.

[@RealmsCrossMyths]

In Canada • Carbonated, caffinated, sweeten…ated drinks are soft drinks. • Alcoholic beverages that aren't normally alcoholic (orange juice, lemonade, fruit punch, etcetera) are hard drinks. • Hard soft drinks are a thing. Eggnog is not a hard drink; non-alcoholic eggnog is the variant, not the original. At least that's the common conception in these parts.
