Brian Rosenthal: A Documentary.

I had the honor of spending an entire day with my friend Brian Rosenthal. I had been meaning to make a documentary about him, and on this particular day, it happened. He is one of the greatest. ENJOY!

"I'm going to try to make contact with the squirrel as if I were one of its own kind," says actual squirrel Brian Rosenthal

[@JadeEliot]

I want to see Brian Rosenthal react to this video today.

[@mayaambraziunas5604]

Obligatory happy as a squirrel as long as I'm with mister Quirrell comment

[@Kikkarlin]

he's like his own entire species

[@emmareid4120]

I vote we clone him so all humans are like this. Also Joey looked homeless. Bless

[@marisal48]

Doesn't he always look homeless?

[@daliah8883]

@@justaperson9754 and in Nightmare Time haha

[@beetstreet4737]

This comforts me in the fact that it shows he's just as boring and simple as the rest of us. In a good way...

[@kylierodman7567]

HE'S NOT BORING OR NORMAL IN ANY WAY OR SIMPLE. NO STAARKID IS SIMPLE.

[@michellerekowski3409]

He can play the piano, banjo, and guitar plus sing and act. What can't he do?!

my love of Brian rosenthal has been increased by a tenfold. that is all

[@chuualwayswins]

this video is so heartfelt, brian rosenthal is a gem

[@daviedarling]

this is so great. i wish i had friends like this

[@WildShadowWarriorCat]

I think I'm in love with him.

[@miles2593]

same problem, seven years later

[@moolikeachicken]

The squirrel part, falling up the stairs, and his room mate talking about him = all the best parts. surely, he is strong of heart and devishly handsome

[@amyhurst236]

He's too cute for words.

[@lawreelove]

"And devilishly handsome and charismatic and." Totally awesome, duh. Cutieee!

[@avpmfan11]

i loved him before this video. and now i love him even more. my life would be complete to be friends with him and joey.

[@Decembers]

"In my mind's eye... this is how I look." "Even without the arms?" "-laughs-Yes." I love Brian.

[@amchoco789]

Omigosh. I just saw Brian Rosenthal imitate a squirrell. That just made my life. Seriously I feel like I know what he's like a bit more after watching this and I NOW LOVE HIM EVEN MORE. He's adorable and awkward and aksgfgskgslessthanthree!!! :D

[@Potterhead1099]

Brian is so freakin' cute!

[@OwlCityFan26]

OMG I AM NOW IN LOVE WITH HIM. HE IS ADORABLE AND AWKWARD AND WONDERFUL. AND PROFESSOR QUIRRELL.

[@fiddleronthenet3360]

In his library... there would be Jane Austin novels, I'm sure... :D

[@SaraStarkid394]

Oh. My. ROWLING! HE'S PLAYING THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA!!!!!

[@snickaloafer]

7:25 he was playing Phantom of the Opera. Just made my day :D

[@HeyHeyGMA]

If I ever get to meet Brian I wanna give him a stuffed squirrel wearing a turban and call it a Quirrell Squirrel.

[@RoxcityCSM]

HeyHeyGMA or give him a little figure if himself wearing a squirrel costume WITH a turban. and call it a Squirrel Quirrell

[@livylev]

why is he so perfect in every way

[@twowordsJohnnyDepp]

Brian has now become one of my favorite people. Because of this video. When he did the squirrel bit I literally laughed out loud. Which is bad because it's 2 am...and people are sleeping lol I also though "I called you a squirrel! I called you a squirrel."

[@thewaywardpoet]

What I absolute adore about this video is that it's set up just like a real hardcore documentary. Brilliant! Starkid stuff is always amazing!

[@ThePoofer15]

I am officially in love with Brian! This was the most adorable thing I've ever seen!!!

[@xxharambes_sonxx1578]

Is he not just Dan and Phil combined into the most adorable person

[@DreamcoatTechnicolor]

The phantom of the opera is in my mind... As are you, Brian Rosenthal.

[@kfdcl]

this video inspired me to make a documentary of my own in 2010 feat my cousin when she visited me for 2 weeks although it gave me some experience with filming and editing with shitty equipment and made many memories that make me laugh when i look back on it, my documentary was 12 episodes long, very boring, had a subject who didn't know what to say most of the time, and didn't do brian rosenthal's documentary justice, so i took it down brian rosenthal: a documentary, in a way, changed my life

[@JazzFreak2010]

Seriously this guy is awsome! First talking about his cats then he'd want to be the baby lemur in madagascar then the library in beauty in the beast then playing phantom of the opera. So great!!

[@sunshineforyou90]

5:20 "Strong of heart indeed" That sounded like Quirrell

[@AlexDahlberry]

I love Brian Rosenthal, Joey Richter, Joe Walker, Darren Criss, Brian Holden, Nick Lang...EVERYONE so freaking much, it's ridiculous. How can one acting group be so hilarious/amazing/attractive? Seriously. They're all gorgeous.

[@livylev]

i want him to be my best friend

[@TheAena93]

He's beyond SUPERMEGAFOXYAWESOMEHOT

[@DarqueMyth]

HE PLAYED THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. I love him even more than I did five minutes ago, when I began this movie and fell in love.

[@quinniemarsden101]

Omg he is the most amazing and adorable thing I've ever seen.

[@OwlCityFan26]

You're so lucky to know Brian. I am sort of in love with him because of Quirrell. They really need to make a third AVPM and bring back quarrel and voldemort.

[@ServosFLyingCircus]

He's such an interesting person. He has a personality and he is not afraid to use it.

[@DagdaRose]

Gosh, Brian and Joey in one house! It's like a dream come true! ^_^

[@thecoolelizabeth]

Brian seems like the kind of guy I would want as a best friend.

[@flamingoranges]

Okay, not only were Brian and Joey awesome in AVPM, they also play MarioKart 64. That is just epic.

[@dftba323]

Brian Rosenthal! Joey Richter! Phantom of the Opera!! Too much win for one video. Need to take some deep breaths before I pass out.

[@Starkidpotterful]

I love Brian!

[@Angelblade717]

I can't really express in words exactly how much I love Brian. :D SO MUCH LOVE

[@namesalltaken159]

Brian seems like such a fun guy. It would be a dream come true if I could meet all the starkids. I've already met Darren and Joe Walker, but I really wanna meet the rest.

[@laurenaquino6326]

"Help him up! Help him up! Help him up!"

[@Fairyangel24]

"Strong-willed, yes. Strong of heart, indeed." I love the way Brosenthal talks!

[@randompeaple12345678]

My love for this wonderful man increased so much over the course of this video. Before watching, I just thought he was cool like all of the other Starkids. Now, I really really really want to marry him.

[@ShadowPoet174]

What I wouldn't give to "make the Music of the Night" with this gorgeous man ;D

[@iamhermioneforever23]

This is the cutest/funniest thing ever

[@KsAnNa]

[@Potterhead1099]

Th funny thing is is that I was running at school 2 days ago and my friends were all telling me how awkward it looked. They aren't starkid fans so I thought back to when I was running but I imagined Brian running instead of me.

[@singingfreak525]

i love how he just knows phantom of the opera. dude, you're awesome.

[@imastarkidpotterhead]
