I must say, as much as I love this show, I don't think the "shorts" really capture what makes it so good. It isn't just funny songs made up on the spot, it's the way they take the littlest thing from the beginning, and build on it until it takes over the whole show. They took a flub about being 1/2 man, 1/2 centaur (i.e. 2/3 man, and 1/3 horse) and just ran with it. Even the little callbacks in the finale about the principal and the pizza pockets get their due. It's all wonderful! Glad more people get to see this now

Zeus : Hercules :: Make some noise : Brennan Pushing the bar for improv sounds and sketches higher and higher up that hill every episode he’s on. Hades : Zagreus :: Dirty Laundry : Lily Opening up hell’s gates and bringing peoples dirty sinful lil secrets out in the open. And of course… Poseidon : Atlas :: Play it by Ear : Jessica “the GOAT” McKenna The unsung singer carrying so many improv based dropout episodes on her back.

[@kaylabarnes5556]

I want this to get love and attention because I have always wanted a more visual component to Jess and Zach's improv podcast. I think musical improv is a little niche (maybe? Hard to tell because it's my favorite). This might be going through a trial period at Dropout, so here's hoping it gets renewed. I'm proud of Dropout and all the new ideas coming from that subscription service... I just feel so inspired by all of these talented, creative comedians trying bold things. And of course, forever blown away by the musicians who come up with all of this on the spot. Theatre techs I see you with those lights, a lot of improv shows don't include that great element. And the narrator Mano Agapion brings the same charisma as Sam Reich. He is integral to the flow of the show- the person who thematically sews it all together. Editors you are so clean with your stitching that I almost forgot about you! TL;DR Let's go team! It's amazing how CollegeHumor has developed over the years.

If y'all really love this, and Zach and Jess, of course, I recommend "Of Book: The Improvised Musical Podcast". It's everything you see and hear here but in a podcast.

And, of course, it's all improvised. This comment isn't sponsored at all, I just love them so much.

I'll take this opportunity and give my two cents and opinions about the Off Book Podcast to newcomers: Start with the first 13 episodes. They're all amazing. If you want to be starstruck by greatness sooner rather than later and likes superheroes, I recommend on of my favourites, episode 225 "Marvel Sing-ematic Universe (Part 4): Crack, Crack, Boom!" It's okay, even though it's part 4, they're an anthology. And finally, since we're in the holidays, track down EVERY SINGLE CHRISTMAS episode you can and watch them. Just do it!

Genuinely, it makes me incredibly happy to be here in this moment when I can watch these amazing people make absolute magic.

I smiled all the way through, and I cried at the final song. This is truly a piece of art I didn’t know I needed. Also, I’m grateful to the friends that popped up into my head while I was listening to this. You know who you are, Mike & Ti.

Ok dropout I need so much more of this in my life please and thanks. 10/10 best $6 I’ve ever spent

My favorite play it by ear episode!! I love this series so much, everyone is so incredible

[@Bored0720]

I was literally thinking yesterday how it would be interesting to see a whole improv musical series cause Jess always kills it. 😵

[@Elsarnightcores]

This is amazing, great singers and even better at improvising, this is the content the world needs

[@aleciosun1060]

Props to the band for keeping it up!!!

[@designconker4796]

Wow, I can’t believe how good this is. Simply phenomenal.

[@bmatos5785]

Only 5 minutes in and absolutely floored by how good that group number was. So excited to hear the rest but it’s so impressive to create such a good song right on the spot like wtf. This is god tier improv

[@alexandred3544]

these four deserve a big platform like this

[@FinleyCox-rd9fd]

This was the most awesome thing ever. The talent of everyone is simply incredible. Glad I got to watch this, it made my day!

[@tristanrobinson6833]

This is everything that I didn't know that I needed and more!

[@Saxinful]

Watched it on Drop Out, watching it here and commenting for engagement! This deserves to pop off

[@strawhatsmanager]

i was having a hard time getting out of bed and doing anything but i finally did it and went to my piano and put this on to warm up and have been having so much fun playing with the cast (im definitely not doing anything musically coherent or talented like them lol) and i’ve been having so much fun so thank you

[@Vekcrazah]

The three originals + The amazing lyric improv guy from the new season's karaoke episode. Love it

[@CoryBolles]

Seriously can't believe this is all improv! Thanks for uploading!

The series on Dropout are honestly so refreshing to watch and I love them all. I especially love these musical ones because the cast are all really skilled with improving songs on the spot that are absolute ear worms
