LES MISÉRABLES - Barricade Boys - Chapter One: Pilot

[@AmyJayne1]

'what's a bit of light treason between friends?' is my new favourite quote

[@Biowoman.]

Same omg

[@rubberd0512]

I LOVE THIS. Grantaires gay panic™️ How jack has somehow transformed into Eddie Redmayne yet again BEE IS A PERFECT ENJOLRAS. “He just likes to be tall” THIS IS JUST....PERFECTION.

[@georgiairving1234]

Literally all I know about les mis is from tumblr and this video so here goes -enjolras is gay, likes to be tall, and actually cares about doing work -Grantaire is gay, drunk, and a disaster - Marius is the sad straight friend pining over...a cassette tape? - They're fighting for France I guess I think I've got it right

[@Reicha]

I think you've got it better than me, and I saw the movie. I mean, I loved it, but it's a long movie. My lasting impression of the resistance is they really liked standing on things and waving a red flag. And that they had a really, really catchy song.

[@clownemoji5395]

@@Reicha i mean, basically. except marius loves a girl called cosette, not a cassette tape :0

[@nettle684]

i mean you're missing the loaf of bread and the rest of the disaster-gays-in-a-barricade, but in a nutshell, yes.

[@vicomtexdaae3630]

Georgia Irving Sounds bout right.

[@Baby_Belle777]

And Eponine is lonely and dies for Marius who she is madly in love with

[@laurenbrown5187]

“RED THE COLor of this... piece of fabric.” this is amazing. hyped for more les mis videos.😂🇫🇷

[@spicyreyes]

"it's just like this, but a lot bigger, with more colors." the dialogue is gold

[@mard1_a]

“An idea has just struck me!” “That must’ve hurt.” IM SCREAMING

[@Dorianbones]

Ahhhhhhh I love this!!!!! Also, Grantaire’s Gay Panics™️ whenever Enjolras stands too close are 👌🏼 This is a match made in heaven for me, my two loves: Nyxrising and Les Mis

[@thesewinggeekmiri9029]

i wouldn't really call them 'panics' personally (makes it sound like he feels stress over them, which he *clearly* doesn't XD ;D)--but *damn* they're on point

[@laurenbrown5187]

“marius, who cares about your lonely soul. we strive towards a larger goal.” creates a lonely hearts club.😂🇫🇷

[@orph11c]

At this point I feel like you guys should just own up to the fact that Eddie Redmayne has been playing Jack this whole time.

[@ryleighadkins1650]

Yes

[@iwannabeaninjalol]

brb I’m crying in french

[@thesewinggeekmiri9029]

1:04 Enjolras: "the floor is yours, Grantaire." Grantaire: "it sure is" me: sweetie passing out onto something does not automatically make it yours--otherwise you and Apollo would be dating right now

[@MoteMayhaps]

I'm on the edge of my seat..... Will you include all the boys? Bahorel the Flamboyant? Combeferre the Walking Dictionary? Courfeyrac the Best Friend of All? Feuilly the Only Actual Working Man? Jean Prouvaire the Poet? Joly the Hypochondriac? Lesgle the Unlucky? Honorary members Gavroche the Brave and/or Eponine the Tough? Mon dieu, I cannot wait!

[@neekitsart]

Full disclosure I read this book in French when I was in middle school and hated Marius’s passive ass with a passion but u guys made him so cute and I love it Also Bee/Enjolras really shouldn’t be this pretty Not allowed Grantaire the gay has always been iconic I love this so much

[@virginiacreech6881]

Even in the book, I always found Marius equal parts creepy, infuriating, and endearing.

[@angsynthia]

OH MY GOOOOOOOOD!!!!! As a french girl obsessed with anything related to Les Mis AND a musicals trash I'm so excited!!!!! I love my barricade boys so much!!!! I can't wait for you to take on Vicky Hugehoe's heritage

[@RegCShaw88]

Also, Apollo pontificating on the table is my new favourite thing in the world! 12:40 / 12:50 The fact that G knows about it and is so used to it -and loves every bit of that sight - makes it even better! 😍

[@cadhlak.3037]

chaPTER ONE?!?!? i thought it was a one off thing im so happy!!! and that nyx's grantaire is oddly accurate

[@thesewinggeekmiri9029]

IKR??? That is Peak Perfection casting right there :D

[@wristwatchstrapshop6477]

So much sexual tension, not enough time😂 (ps love this❤️😁).

[@ooachilliaoox2282]

OMG there aren't WORDS for how much I love this!!! Firstly it LOOKS amazing. Secondly the characterisation is so SPOT ON that like I love the setup SO MUCH already?!?! I've loved Les Mis for I don't know how long so I was super excited for this and it was way better than I imagined. The whole flag bit was GENIUS I was DYING and just.... everything about this was beyond perfect. Literally made me laugh out loud

[@yamyam7918]

Plot twist Granataire is actually colorblind and that’s why he’s having so many problems (also he’s drunk so it’s just worse)

[@thesewinggeekmiri9029]

Dear NyxRising Industries, Help, I can't stop watching this. This is my fourth time now; time bends around me; life drips to a standstill. It's too good, I can't stop hitting replay. Every second is engaging I'll let you know if I manage to break free (although honestly I'm not even sure I want to) ;D sincerely, fan

[@ionaadams6793]

my body is ready my mind is ready my two greatest loves, nyxrising and classic novels have been combined hell yeah

[@thesewinggeekmiri9029]

dude same I'm walking into this ready to laugh *and* cry

[@ionaadams6793]

@@thesewinggeekmiri9029 If Victor Hugo was alive today, I believe he would consider this canon. honestly victor hugo was a lad

[@nettle684]

"i use that term loosely, in relation to you" "enjolras shaking his head, which might mean he doesn't like scarves but probably just means he doesn't like grantaire" you guys are killing it with the enjoltaire. "but the garbage will do" top notch star wars reference. oh, grantaire, we all know why you were making a lonely hearts club flyer. marius over there while enjolras has shoved grantaire against the wall, waving at them and being oblivious to the huge gay going on. enjolras is being tall, marius is confused, and grantaire is shamelessly checking E out.

[@thesewinggeekmiri9029]

3 minutes in--I'm loving this, I'm living this, and I'm considering starting a tally of the number of times Enjolras fixes Grantaire with a smolder (b/c I'm not imagining things, right? I'm not alone here?)

[@moonlaney]

'What are you doing?! The flyer!' 'You did not make that clear!' Loved that part😂💖

[@flo-zy1zu]

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING everyone looks great but Nyx's Grantaire is stunning!

[@NyxRising]

thank you so much ;_____;

[@kassidytucker8431]

I miss barracade bois so much

[@porsorodis7985]

I HAVE WANTED SOMETHING LIKE THIS FOR SO LONG AND I NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD ACTUALLY HAPPEN! I ADORE THIS! THANK YOU SO MUCH! ❤️❤️❤️

[@elizabethboulding1040]

Ex-bloody-scuse me?!?! How dare you release a barricade boys vid without prior warning!!!! Thank you so much, I love you all..... xxxx

[@ShoshanaMegan]

Grantaire is a GOD DAMN MOOD this entire freaking video and I am L I V I N G for it

[@blueriver.]

okay no big deal or anything but tHIS IS BLOODY FANTASTIC

[@Emma-sb1tt]

its been like 3 seconds and this is already my new favorite thing

[@lilymae3762]

i'm so late like this was literally posted over 2 years ago but i'm here now and i love this too much ahh i'm just gonna watch these over and over

[@Spiiderbytezgaming]

Ok so I know this is 3 years after this video came out but this is too funny not to share. In my school’s production of Les Mis our les amis flyers were just the bee movie script in French.

[@clairedoherty3875]

When grantaire said “RED” I though he was going to sing the red and black song from Les Misérables 😂

[@natdawson5741]

9:27 'alcoholic successfully turned on' But honestly this is equal parts hilarious and brilliant, great work as always!

[@caylus7587]

‘The Jeans’ 😂

[@fozzyspots]

THIS IS AMAZING OML, every line is pure gold and so fucking funny?? "what are you doing?" asjdgkusdkasb. "what's that over there?" AOSUHDUAIHDA. the weak handshake. LITTLE PRICK. "i can do might." "ooh we shouldn't really be doing this." the acting?????? the chemistry???? i'm screaming. it's so natural, it's incredible!!!!! they're both so good!!!! everything is so good!!!!! how am i only just discovering this now ♡ p.s. enjolras is SO CHARISMATIC in this, i'm literally falling deeper in love every time they're on screen. like, this is the only enjolras i will ever accept from now on. the accent? the facial expressions? the eyes? the tiny smiles???? the INFLECTIONS? hol up i'mma have to simp. how can anyone be this charming

[@abithebard]

I've fallen in love with every interpretation of Enjolras I have seen and Bee is no different 😍

[@lilahpurpus8336]

Wow, I love the Les mis BBC series.

[@maryslittlebookshelf]

"i can do might" im in love with this webseries already

[@snigdhak7395]

On a nyxrising video you know you have to give an automatic thumbs up cuz it's going to be awesome!!!

[@bajbhdkn]

I burst out laughing when Marius thought he was joining a lonely hearts club. I'm excited for episode two.

[@gothanimegirl13]

Musicals, cosplay, gay love??? all of my fave things!! great job everyone!! Can't wait for chapter two and more!

[@kem9997]

Y'all snatched my wig like Jean Valjean snatched that bread 😍 But seriously, everything about this is my new favorite thing. Also, Jack's Eddie Redmayne impression is out of this world. Can't wait for chapter 2!! ❤

[@laurenbrown5187]

marius is so clueless about everything that is happening. i love it.😂🇫🇷

[@teatalk5409]

I am so excited about the brilliant characterisation of this and the fact that it is a series. Honestly this is already one of my favourite things you have released all the characters are spot on.

[@nadyap.1532]

5:45 “It’s because you’ve got such a large.....*stares south*......*remembers*....vocabulary!!!” Honestly you guys have such amazing chemistry in basically every single video (yes j have watched them all sue me) it’s unbelievably good. You should be professional actors and les mis in the west end should be this. Also can I just thank you for the beautiful moments of Grantaire’s adorable gay panics, Enroljas just being oblivious and Jacks perfect and I do mean perfect Marius?! You guys make me so happy with this beautiful art and cosplay you do I legit never thought I’d be into or interested in this but you have opened my eyes so thank youuuuuu

[@wren5325]

The AcTinG. The ScRiPt. The PlOt. Such amazing characters brought to life in such amazing ways. :D Love this so much!

[@royalwoodall898]

Jack is literally Eddie Redmayne. You guys are so amazing, I cant wait for more!

[@thesewinggeekmiri9029]

why do I get the feeling that the reason the flier mentions suffering from unrequited love is b/c R was thinking of Enjolras as he made it... ',:)

[@catbroady]

The best version of Les Mis I have ever seen!

[@samanthas2300]

E and R are sooooooooooooo cute!!!!

[@jasminetea6935]

Do I know anything about les mis, apart from a few general facts from friends who like it? Nope. Did I still watch and enjoy this? GREATLY, YES! Also this looks like some Professional™️ Stuff and I’m loving it!! You guys seriously improve with every video, and how that is possible with how incredible everything is already I do not know

[@sageclarke6488]

Grantaire: *is well versed in literature and greek mythology* Also Grantaire: lol your,, uh- vocabulary is too big

[@derplederp3020]

Omg! I saw Les Mis just last Saturday, and have been on a Barricade Binge. This came just in time!

[@IlastarothTayre]

I literally screamed when I saw this got uploaded. I had to wait to watch til now because I wasn't emotionally ready. This is beyond perfect.

this is honestly the best thing i've ever seen in a long time

[@MeanderingFox]

Darn, I can no longer stop listening to Les Misérables songs, this isn't very useful at school. I'm just glad it's the last day before the Christmas holidays tomorrow... Not enough time to annoy my friends into silencing me, 😏. Great video! It's addictive! I watched Les Miserables for the first time yesterday (I was 'too young' before) and I can now not look back.

[@maddie-ew1wh]

2:12 had me laughing omg 😊 another great video! I love the historical ones

[@kylecunningham3380]

I was in love by the opening sequence I can't even. This is amazing and just so creative and funny. Just what I needed on a hard night of editing. ^^

[@EveryDayALittleDeath]

Oh man, I love this already. I've been in two amateur productions of of Les Mis so I love this show to little peices.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I LOVE LES MIS THIS IS MY FAVOURITE THING

I watched this, and then decided to watch the move, cried four two-and-a-half hours and then came back to watch these to un-depress myself.

Love the Hook reference. Just sign your name on this blank peice of paper to do anything & everything the *boys club* tells you xD There's a lot of *Leaning /* going on here ;) Can't wait to see more!

[@thesupremecatlord3188]

I admit that I am very happy that y'all have gone into the musical theatre fandom now. Stg, that "RE-E-E-ED" at the start, I just leapt in with "The blood of angry me-e-e-e-e-en!" Looking forward to (hopefully) seeing Sasha as Eponine, some more of Enjolras being low key a Greek god and maybe some West Side Story, Matilda or Hamilton content in the future.

[@matthewwithfilm]

This is amazing and hilarious. I love it, made me smile.

[@yeokaythen7740]

This came at just the right time. I've had such a rubbish day and this has cheered me right up and just made me laugh and smile. As always your videos are amazing and always make me feel better. Thank you all for just being you
