[@tunasalad5574]

The Key of Awesome I love you guys!!!! ❤️❤️ And maybe Lost Boy if you haven't done that yet

[@erinhobby8172]

[@SCP--kv3rg]

The second half is amazing. i love the vampire haha

[@sarahrenee8625]

Holy shit the last time i came so early i became a father.

[@Madthecatx3]

[@cdw8493]

holy shit, last time i came so early, this joke was still original and funny.

[@desmondng5375]

Curtis Watson Well, yours isn't original either, so it all balances out.

[@cdw8493]

that was the point..... 😫😫

[@cdw8493]

... but that was the point tho lol

[@RocketMan2403]

2:56 "Say goodbye to your coronas" this hits different in 2020

[@hardaningam8967]

[@flinx]

Cheap like the original song they're parodying. It's a 2 minute song stretched into 3.

[@tolkus53]

#Thepracticalofawesome

[@587180]

tbh I like unplugged more because it's Raw. And it sounds really well. You can acutally focus on the awesome voiced of the people

[@keesia729]

I actually really like this. I thought it was hilarious and you guys sing amazing.

[@TheKeyofAwesome]

Thanks! I was really trying to sing good here so I appreciate the compliment. -Mark

[@Tugrul]

Really funny when the vampire appeared.

[@SCP--kv3rg]

yeah he is funny

[@salim5889]

yeah but weird that he wears jeans

[@thomasjenkins7506]

even vampires like to go casual once in a while.

[@apathetichumanoid2891]

Tuğrul Şahin yeah really liked him

[@SuperTigerTV]

The irony is that Key of Awesome can't "sell their soul" to the devil of Hollywood because their satires hurt the power of the pop-aganda. Hence their channel got "ended." For reals.

[@sebastianreardon9168]

That's what makes so much of the video awesome lol

[@ArunaUtd]

She's so adorable

[@annelorraine9529]

This is probably my favorite unplugged parody yet. If I had money I would definitely donate to you guys. You guys make consistently amazing content and you never fail to make me laugh. Keep up the good work guys and I hope that the patreon thing goes well. Much love from a long time fan

[@TheKeyofAwesome]

[@bartholen]

Key of Awesome always takes a sharp left turn when you least expect it and you end up somewhere completely unexpected.

[@TheSingingPug]

If people actually listened to the words, and not just look at the video, they'd realise that the unplugged KoAs are really great as well!

[@rockyrockyroad]

Obligatory comment because I'm early and this is my only real achievement in life

[@johanna8326]

[@haileys9415]

Yep

[@nonplayablecharasebs]

[@tolkus53]

Maybe the first of many!

[@hellgirl013]

Honestly the unplugged are sooooooo good. Proves you don't need dumb antics to be a good parody account

[@John_Doe62]

"Say goodbye to your coronas" now have a new meaning

[@fuzzykitty5640]

2017: 'say good bye to your coronas' 2020: man I wish corona would go away😭😭

Dang. Jenna must have great lungs. She plays that part for 20 seconds and then goes straight into singing without even taking a visible breath.

The Key of Awesome is still a thing? The last time I watched one of their vids was 2012

[@huckted]

Welcome back.

[@kevshi5386]

when u are talking about biting them on the head and shoulders you should of hold a bottle of the shampoo

Yaaaasss maybe next time :(

[@lisaandarmanimerchantandeu2604]

Kevin Shi That is so funny!

[@aceportgras2761]

Asian joke? Sry don't get it

[@ShadowDisorder]

For some reason I find this version way more catchy than the original. I find the original boring, but this has been stuck in my head all day #DefendersofAwesome

[@bluishwolf]

That's because they don't use autotune.

[@QuibbleTrouble]

You're using the hashtag wrong.

[@imhellag]

because the lyrics arent basic white girl retarded like in the original.

[@tap3909]

I know right! I love this version so much more than the original!

[@dobrearmygirl826]

Shadow Disorder yep me too

[@NovaStarr16]

I love how the vampire is wearing jeans

[@TheRealGridan]

It's such a small, simple joke but the quick, snappy, almost childlike response of "but its our name" from everyone to Jenna's "don't mean you can be chainsmokers" gets me. "But its our name, what do you mean we can't be chainsmokers??" and Jenna is just so confused by the logic. I love it lmao.

[@dpdrawings2508]

Haha a vampire with jeans on with a phone in his pocket!! Love it!

[@huckted]

Super catchy but stupid lol

[@alexandertruuvert2037]

I find the chorus really annoying. It just goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and just kinda makes your ears bleed.

[@Xxcuppiecake3594Xx]

It's so catchy though!! It's that song u want to hate but you can't

[@sleepyote]

Nope. It's annoyed and overused.

Now let's jam because I play a mean recorder! Lmao!

[@j.chicago1556]

Is it just me or 1:27 - 1:30 had the guitar playing without him strumming. It just popped out to me when I was watching the video, good song I just thought it was weird.

[@DevinP]

TheMiddleGamer whoa, yeah, he goes to point his finger and the strumming keeps going

[@maffigabri]

Because you are hearing the piano, don't confuse it with the guitar

[@stormaggedonqueenofallevil837]

It was the piano idiot

[@rockyroll4492]

J. Chicago that isn't the guitar... it's the keyboard thingamagigie

Jenna Rubai's faces are the best! Very talented! Love you guys!

[@HeyOzzy24]

What is that piano with a mouthpiece called?

[@DementedButtHole]

Recorder. Learned about it from Dido Armstrong over a decade ago :) This particular kind is a variant known as a Melodica.

[@HeyOzzy24]

Thank you

[@sebcde]

The vampire really looks like Dr. Cox from Scrubs. Great parody as always, even with low budget you're doing great.

[@jothecocopop]

My favourite part was the keyboard-pipe-thingy - I loved it! :D

[@ivvygreen9265]

Best KOA unplug video ever!

This is beautiful even without a legit video. It'd be amazing with one, but just gorgeous.

[@timethieves3745]

Three favorites: Doug, Father of Awesome (Mike), and Mark. Never leaving these guys. Been here too long considering the vampire made me think of emo vampire. Love you guys, keep doing what you're doing!

[@ellxe76]

Just joined this is great!

[@oliviaflood6076]

How is this not a full parody?! It's got to be one of the best parodys you've done in a while, the lyrics were way funnier and more clever than some of the other parodys that just describing the video

[@josephsullivan4560]

I was pretty lukewarm on this one, at least until jeans-wearing Dracula showed up. Really funny parody guys!

[@seanwallace79]

And featuring Mike Birch as Grandpa Munster. Great job,guys.
