The "I can't read" line from Ani is my favorite joke in the whole show. His delivery is just so spot on

[@spacetrashpile7199]

I think Junior deserves third if only for how iconic the line "Lucky for me, God is dead. And when you see him in hell, tell him Junior sent you" is.

[@the-amazing-karnak]

Also “Phew!”

I really do need Brian to play more villains. His performance as Junior is one of my favorites!

[@jeffblimisinahurry]

SarcasticSpiderman Bradley I totally agree, I remember watching Starship the first time and just being so shocked at the part when he talks to MegaGirl (the "you're a toaster" scene) because he was so good at being this cruel cold dark person and I'd never seen him do a role like that

[@bucketsoupe]

Him and Joey should play the villains together it'd be magical

[@alildaisy2180]

Lucia Gallagher omg yesssss!

[@aconstantstateofohio7211]

I honestly cried when Junior died :(( bc Brian is perfect

[@headofathousandsheepswool]

@@bucketsoupe Oh my god, yes! Brian as the villain and Joey as his evil sidekick, and Joe Walker as the hero with Lauren as his sidekick.

[@spacetrashpile7199]

Why is “Lucky for me, God is dead. When you see him in hell, tell him I sent you.” such a strangely raw line.

[@gabshickey9743]

IKR! I love that line

[@mylahobbit1815]

"Oh i know your dad!" "yeah, i'm his son" is fucking oscar worthy

[@QualitativeVacuum]

Smelly balls (and krayonder from starship) are my fave starkid characters (and some of the most underrated) Also, his arms in ani "Oh, I've heard of your dad" "Yeah, I'm his son" "Nice"

u dont know how much i love this man. my sexuality is kick it up a notch reprise

[@projectanimation7730]

JJ is easily my favourite character Brian has done. He made the worst character so sincerely charming and lovable, and I think he’s the only starkid who could have done it.

[@camdotcoms]

brian just shamelessly wearing a dress the entirety of firebringer is just the best

[@lewando7687]

My favorite line "lupin shouldn't have to pay for that.... Yes who said that." Hilarious delivery 😂

[@mishmash3927]

Me too! What a perfect way to end the vid 😂

[@camdotcoms]

brian's delivery just seems especially good during starship??? idk he just embodies the character so well

I'm thirsty for EVERYONE in Starkid but okay

[@starophie]

i love jj so. much. also this adorable space baby who loves space

[@AbbyBubbls]

The only character I've felt more emotionally invested in was Jar Jar, and I never in my life thought I would say that sentence.

[@roundaboutrequiem98]

Somehow I never noticed him starting to sing "I'm Remus freakin'-" in the Hermione Can't Draw scene, and now that I've noticed that, it has changed my life forever. Also, JJ is a severely underrated character who deserves more love.

[@dont_trip_over_ma_leg_please]

JJ fixed jar jar for the series

[@gingerbv1343]

brian so good at the beginning of the night belongs to snarl aND WHEN HIM AND JOE WALKER WERE HARMONIZING IT WAS SO GOOOOOD

[@jillianmyerly4517]

Brian's singing voice. I mean, his mini duet with Joe in "The Night Belongs to Snarl"? Amazing, and so underrated, just like Brian as a whole.

[@IvyPoit]

The pink sunglasses on Junior are a nice touch

[@clarizamae09]

I absolutely love how Brian and Meredith have never been romantic partners in a production. It really shows their professionalism but come on, Starkid. LET THEM BE ROMANTIC PARTNERS ONSTAGE.

[@spencerjbbran]

"Where'd they gooooooooo?????.....................................................................Marco!" "Polo!!" "GOTCHA SUCKEEEEEER!!!!!" I can't count how many times I played that part over and over.

[@summer_the_rae]

I hang on to Brian's words like he's a frickin preacher... and I'm Jewish. Brian: Chorn... means a lot of different things... to a lot of different people... Me: Amen to that *snapping* Brian: FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE Me: HALLELUJAH

[@seopark7467]

when my sister and I went to see captain marvel we kept saying "heY cAptAiN MAHvel" in that voice

[@swampghost835]

i genuinely dont understand how he is so slept on. his delivery is AMAZING not to mention his vocals in kick it up a notch?????? ugh god hes so good edit: also lupin was my favorite character growing up and brian is literally exactly how I imagined him when I read the books

[@foundawayout5622]

I have never agreed with something more, including the part where you said that’s how you imagined Lupin would look when you read the books growing up. Except that I imagined him slightly worn out and filthy but Brian was the perfect Lupin

[@blue_jayde7069]

Ok, you mentioned Junior, but didn't even show the funniest clip. I need to see the scene with "Jr's Pot!"

[@SpeciallyShirly]

That was close!

[@whatalovelybreadstick2449]

**HCCGHG** YEAH IM SMOKING POT *aggressive slam*

[@micahwilliams1332]

No it was the *phew* line after He slammed his head to Megagirl's fist.

[@professorrock4698]

And the scene where he forgets he's supposed to be stuck and makes sassy gestures at Pincer and then puts his arms back in place!

[@parisb8084]

I theoretically agree with most of this vid, but as much as I love Lupin, he would probably be number 4 for me just because of how often in my daily life I think about Flopsy and JJ. He got me to sympathize with one of the most hated characters ever, and for some reason he can do the perfect voice and mannerisms that I would associate with a sad vagina???

[@Starkidfan27]

Lupin is my thrid. 1st is superman, then Junior then Lupin

[@ironicappreciation4374]

Smelly Balls is so extra which makes him p e r f e c t to be played by Brolden

[@littlelizzy9793]

I honestly didn't think I'd like a character named Smelly Balls but Brian Holden did such a good job I had to

[@HeartThrobThePony]

@@littlelizzy9793 I honestly would not like the character if it was played by anyone else

[@reallyrachell]

I love Brian and he's great at comedy and more serious roles

[@frostedjosieos3193]

Why is his Hagrid so aggressively Scottish...

[@Okay_Is_Wonderful]

Meh, it's definitely silly, but why do most of them not have British accents? Personally I find Ron Weasley being taller than Hagrid just as funny

[@bethan2600]

Darren Criss trying (and failing) not to laugh at him is utterly hilarious. But it’s funny because Brolden doesn’t break at all

[@bi_cycle]

HARREH? WHAS THA MATTAH?

[@bethan2600]

Also, thought I’d mention, Hagrid isn’t Scottish! He’s from the West Country! Americans probably do not know the different regional accents of the UK but Hagrid’s accent is from the south west. Whereas Brolden was aggressively north hahaha. It made it even better though.

[@frostedjosieos3193]

Bethan Moran I knew the original Hagrid wasn’t Scottish, though I don’t know if I could’ve pinpointed where he WAS from. I have a huge fascination with accents and try to keep educated on them. For most British dialects, if I don’t know where they ARE from, I’ll at least know where they AREN’T FROM.

[@mijnjasmijnjas1317]

hello! we all know brian is a great comedic actor but i think his “serious” acting deserves some recognition too so do check him out in chris allen’s short film “OMG” starring along joe walker and denise donovan (who are both _brilliant in it) and other starkids: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpTIlXd-iZmepcU

[@yellowstalk6653]

"You're a hero, Harry. As timeless and unforgettable as the VR Troopers." The ONE guy who laughed is the one that remembered the VR Troopers.

[@izukubf]

[@bethan2600]

I stand by the fact that he’s a very underrated starkid member. Even though he is pretty well known, he’s still underrated.

[@gingergoose2319]

I think my favorite is Junior. Love the video!

[@yodelgoats790]

his voice for flopsy was so good 10/10, tie with junior "im not gonna fuckin sing with you!" "thank DEAD GOD. phew."

[@LosTrilocos]

I love him so much it hurts. My biggest Starkid laughs - I owe them to him.

[@ZimtPorridge]

Brian is iconic in every role but honestly what made me fall absolutely in love was his adorable basilisk.

[@bethan2600]

I think one of my favourite things about Brolden as Hagrid is how *aggressively* Scottish he is. But what’s funnier is that Hagrid isn’t Scottish! He’s from the West Country. Americans probably don’t know the different regional accents of the UK but somehow “angry Scotsman” made the role even better.
