Listening to RANDOM ENCOUNTERS for the FIRST TIME | Baldi's Basics, Ink Musical w/ MatPat and MORE

[@MathewMcKenna]

Thanks for being here y’all 💕 if you’d like to see an uncut reaction per week, make sure to head over to my patreon here: patreon.com/mathewmckenna ☺️

[@rututuraticutu790]

Oke

[@dhdjcjjdd]

Hey you should listen to Rex Orange County if you already haven’t also great video :) matpat tickled my ear with these notes

[@r0sebee]

please can you do an episode in which you watch Random Encounters series on FNAF musical? please? its super good! it has people like markipker and Natewantstobattle singing

[@souhiyori8032]

Yo you should definitely try the FNAF the Musical by Random Encounters.

[@king_plasma]

I do hope you react to the FNaF Music from them, it's great!

[@izzyliberty8720]

I have a feeling that you're not aware that MatPat used to be a musical theatre actor. Like, he's got a trained voice.

[@loser_geek_weebever2807]

and he's GOOD I really hope he listens to the FNAF stuff and see Mat again lmao

[@The_Crimson_Flare]

Oh hell yea. hes AMAZING.

[@thatoneguy9582]

i didn’t know that but that checks out honestly

[@HANKSANDY69420]

Ikr he is good, more the reason i love his channels. Looking at his game theory chwnnel's history is...wow.

[@Puffled_Thomas]

HE’S GOT A GORGEOUS VOICE 😩

[@axes2ashes]

I never expected a Random Encounters reaction- but I love it! Also with regards to Matpat- the dudes a theatre kid. You can also hear him in RE's Cuphead musical and How To Beat A Monkey At Chess. If you want something iconic from Random Encounters- their FNAF musical series is top tier. Catchy tunes, and it has Markiplier, NateWantsToBattle, and Matpat in it (and CG5 if you go past the main 5 nights)

[@Soda_Fizzy]

Finally someone mentions natewantstobattle in this. Also, the ground zero musical is definitely just as good as the rest.

[@Game_Erica]

You *need* to watch all of the Five Nights at Freddy's ones. It's a full on storyline featuring Markiplier and Natewantstobattle. It's so good and I remember watching all of them back to back so many times as a kid lol

[@puppiesgacha2948]

Agreed it's so good. They have a full video with all 5 episodes in it too if I remember correctly

[@JakeTLT]

Matpat and CG5 too

[@rachelong3755]

"Was that a harmonica?" Yes, it probably was! AJ, who writes all of the songs at RE and does a lot of the music production, is known for adding all sorts of wacky instruments into his mixes, including harmonica, accordion, and even kazoo on certain occasions.

[@artemisneomenia]

if you're interested in checking out some more stuff from RE i recommend FNAF the musical (which is a musical series with 5? episodes featuring matpat and markiplier) and cuphead the musical. also a fun thing that RE has that not most things you react to have is behind the scenes/the making of videos of most of their songs. they show the cast and some extra details in them, its great to see especially for their animated songs :) great reaction as always

[@YourManMichael]

Yessssss he should totally do the FNAF musical!

[@kelsoo0]

Oh my gosh I would love nothing more than for him to react to FNAF the musical!!!!!!

[@E_N_J.B]

YED

[@matthew5330]

YES

[@_xethra]

PLEAAAAASE

[@jumpinthecadillac9507]

it's so funny seeing ppl not knowing matpat's a theatre kid lol when i first saw him speak i just knew, yk? but i suppose it's more of a "theatre kids know each other" thing

[@rachelong3755]

One of the coolest things about Random Encounters is that they produce almost everything in-house! And by that I mean literally the house that they live in. AJ Pinkerton (who was the protagonist character of Hello Neighbor, Baldi's Basis, and Plants vs. Zombies) does basically all of the music, his wife, Gwen (who starred in Granny), creates the costumes and props, Nate Morse, the bald guy, does the editing, and they all work together on sets, acting, filming, and vocals! In their older works, before Nate and Gwen joined the crew, Peter Srinivasan (the Neighbor from Hello Neighbor) did the mixing and editing, and his then-girlfriend now-wife Sparrow Rayne, or Miss Bird as she is often called, handled props and costumes. (You should definitely listen to some of the songs that feature her, because she has the most GORGEOUS soprano) Nowadays, another youtuber called Family Jules often helps with the mixing, and they typically outsource animation. Other than that, and aside from their guest actors, they do pretty much everything themselves!

[@alliebean3700]

For a part 2 if you want to do one, I would totally recommend the FNAF musical they did with markiplier, natewantstobattle and Matpat it is a multi part series. Also the ace attorney musical is amazing

[@rachelong3755]

The very hairy character that you're seeing in every video is called "The Beard." Because he is extremely dangerous, the folks at RE issued a challenge to their audience to search for him in every musical, and report his timestamp in the comments, so that everyone can keep tabs on him! Sometimes he is particularly stealthy, and he doesn't always appear in person, but there will always be a representation of him somewhere in every video!

[@AquaticDot]

Matpat was in musical theater for a lot of his youth. ^_^

[@juliapoetzinger7149]

Consider coming back to these guys and doing “Finding Mr. Midnight”, “The Day That You Die”, “Phasmophobia The Musical” and “No More Mama”- these guys are chill, but in my personal opinion you haven’t seen their best yet!

[@stariibear4690]

Wait, is finding mr midnight about Fran bow?

[@FeligamiAdrizoeSworaDennisTRF]

@@stariibear4690 Yes.

[@thatbadbackgroundcharacter]

Great reaction! If you ever decide to react to more Random Encounters, I’d recommend some of the below 👇 “KEEP TALKING AND NOBODY EXPLODES” Pretty straight forward, you can understand the plot without seeing the game. “Kindergarten; The Musical” A little tougher to understand, a bit dark given the context, but the music is wonderful. “FNAF the musical - PIZZERIA SIMULATOR; Ground Zero” Great song, great story line, still one of my favorites. “Tetris - The musical” It’s just good

[@anonymoussimper4128]

Thanks for recommending them they are my favorite ones they have done another good one is the Fran bow one

[@jessiexinhua9963]

Never expected a RE reaction, but it's a pleasant surprise nonetheless :D Some songs that i would recommend from them: - "FNAF The musical - The Complete Series" ft. Markiplier, NateWantsToBattle, & MatPat - "Cuphead The Musical" ft. A large amount of Content Creators - "Kindergarten The Musical" - Senpai Notice Me: A Yandere Simulator Musical" - "My Own Little Nightmare" - "Resident Enis" & "Resident Enis 2: Monster Gulch" - "The Eevee Song"

[@JoshuaDItsMe]

I'd highly recommend watching the fnaf musical as it is also by the same people, plus matpat may or may not be a surprise guest :)

[@innactive6964]

Just wait until he learns Matpat tried out for a part in musical theater

[@stephenahn120]

I feel like not a lot of people know about this one from random encounters but you need to see their musical of Phoenix Wright ace attorney!! It’s so good!

[@uwillbeefound6439]

Ace attorney musical from random encounters is incredible, it's so funny to watch with or without context of game cause it's such a mess in the best way

[@FeligamiAdrizoeSworaDennisTRF]

That's one of my favorite ones! Also Granny let me go! Fran bow Finding Mr. Midnight. The Cuphead musical ect.^^

[@sadpiano412]

I’d recommend after this watching the fnaf musical supercut it’s a lot of fun and it’s made by RE :D

[@bluetardis1807]

A lot of people have already recommended the FNAF musical by Random Encounters (and yes, definitely watch those) but some other really good options if you watch more is Arkham Opera, Determined to the End, The Fates of Undertale, and Team Full of Harmony.

[@t.maraschino_cherry]

If you're interested in hearing Markiplier, Matpat, and Random encounters all sing together you should check out FNAF the musical and How to Beat a Monkey at Chess. Both definitely my favorites from Random Encounters :)

[@darknessnight0550]

This literally feels like dreams come true

[@cailynstarnes9724]

Please watch the FNAF musical Random Encounters made. The supercut is 30 minutes long, but it has Matpay, Markiplier, and Natewantstobattle (which u haven't reacted to before)

[@Uni_op]

i agree, its so good

[@WhoAmI-op8wl]

Baldi's Basics The Musical made me experience nostalgia since I used to watch this a lot before.

[@sky._.glitch4477]

Mathew can you make a part 2 of this!!! Random encounters makes amazing musicals!!!

[@user44198]

you should definitely listen to more random encounters!! there musical/song things are awesome and i love your reactions to it

[@VampirexBloodxTears]

I would highly recommend FNAF the Musical if you're wanting to do a part 2. Also on my personal list of favourites is Papers Please and Keep Talking And No One Explodes. Both should be generally easy to understand if you haven't played the games!

[@apersonontheinternet9085]

Besides the already highly recommended fnaf musical, which you should do, the best random encounters musical is the phasmophobia song. Both the Little Nightmares songs, Little Misfortune, and The Stanley Parable are all top-notch!

[@luigisakeva]

all their musicals are bout the game with their own twist

[@katzagain2580]

Please react to more, they were basically my childhood.

[@ChaosChatter]

If you would do a part two I would recommend the phasmophobia song, it's pretty different from the rest of the songs but it's my favourite.

[@gilagal777]

Yes, I love RE! Some good multi-part musicals of their's are FNAF the Musical and Phoenix Wright the Musical! The FNAF one features Markiplier, Natewantstobattle (another great artist I'd recommend for a reaction 👀), and a little bit of MatPat! There are so many others I'd want to recommend (*cough*ResidentEnis, HowToBeatAMonkeyAtChess, BloodAndTears, DeterminedToTheEnd, GroundZero, WebOfLies, FatesOfUndertale, Cuphead*cough*), but I'll stop at that for now, lol. Fun fact about MatPat's singing, he was actually a theatre kid! He did plenty of stage performances, and was even on Broadway for a time! Also, for all you RE fans... Beard Salute, oooooooh! (The beard is an RE character hidden in each of their musicals, and the beard salute is how they sign off each video, haha.)

[@twist_ending7545]

Please please PLEASE listen to the Beetlejuice Musical! I suggest Invisible, Dead Mom, Invisible Reprise (also known as "On the Roof", It's shorter and gives some context to lines in Say my name), Say My Name, That Beautiful Sound, Home, and Jump in the Line! *All in this order!*

[@yourmotherofcourse7474]

You should listen to the Stupendium!! He did that one DDLC song and he does a bunch more fandom songs like this

[@Solar_Rollar]

Please react to more by random encounters!! They’re so fun and interesting to listen to 😂 (ESPECIALLY the Cuphead musical! It features many many different people! Jacksepticeye, Markiplier, Matpat, Natewantstobattle, and more 🙂)

[@callmesam1805]

God i hope you watch more Random Encounters! Theyre old TF2 ones are some of my favourites, alongside the fan favourite FNAF series! highly recommend!

[@Uni_op]

YESSS, I’ve honestly been waiting for this I can’t wait to watch this video you should definitely react to fnaf the musical, its such a good one from them plus it also has bloopers that are amazing

[@Evan_IsChaotic]

I believe if you want to hear more of Matpat singing you should watch fnaf the musical it features matpat ,markiplier And natewantstobattle it would be cool to watch you react to it

[@Kayta-Linda]

But.. MatPat never gets to sing in any of their FNaF videos. Every goddamn time. It’s like they’re torturing us with that possibility only to never let us have that :D..

[@Muffinhead271]

Most Random encounter song videos are live action! It’s awesome

[@cloverenbeerin137]

Ohmygoodness I LOVE the Baldi one! It's great.

[@challengemeneo]

Sameee

[@Undydamon]

I would love if u reacted to Starkid songs There's so many musicals and songs to choose from I mean AVPM is obviously the easy start choice

[@ninjapuppy1257]

You should look at some more of there stuff. I recommend “my own little nightmare” “nana knows the ending” and “goose on holiday”

[@cyl_genderfluid-furry]

FUN FACT! Waking up in the middle of the night is normal, and overuse of sleeping pills can lead to hallucinations, or so I've heard... From a stuffed animal... I think that verifies itself. Actually the stuff animal was more of a graphic, and I think Adam Conover said it.

[@kawi894]

You should really listen to Sanders Sides songs or at least Thomas' songs because he has a beautiful singing voice and in his Sanders Sides content it faces many real problems like dealing with anxiety and taking time to look after yourself.

[@MrZig-Zag]

Random encounters is my favorite musical group tbh.

[@tpl2823]

You should react to "The Stupendium" he has made many bangers.

[@amarvelousgeek222]

If you do another of these, I highly recommend Determined to the End and Finding Mr. Midnight, as well as the fnaf series that everyone else has already recommend.

[@SeraidenAF]

If you ever can their Finding Mister Midnight song about Fran Bow is really impressive, too. Some of their songs fall flat(while being overall pretty fun) but others're so, SO friggin' goood.

[@bqckslash]

The fact that there are 0 dislikes fills me with joy

[@bqckslash]

@@cherryanimates7384 There are browser extensions that allow you to see them. And I have that installed

[@luigisakeva]

you should check FNAF Musical Super Cut .. its a long video tho . its all the Nights combined with extra inbetween stuff they added to combine it into one video.

[@Aqhmxu]

I think my favorite song from Random Encounters must be Finding Mr Midnight. Fran Bow will always hold a special place in my heart and their song about it is so good! I also really enjoy the Little Nightmares one. Forgot what the song is actually called though lol

[@CBLOfficial]

Hey, it's Random Encounters! I love their music, so much so that if you dive into their comments, you'll likely see me around on every upload. I have some more recommendations, if you'd like them! 1. I See You and The Child, the rest of the Granny story trilogy 2. Baldi's Camping Trip and Baldi's Big Zoo, the rest of the Baldi trilogy story 3. The FNAF Musicals. The Supercut, Blood and Tears (the REmix if you want), Ground Zero, and Web of Lies. There's a sequel to Web of Lies in production currently. 4. The Undertale and Deltarune songs, The Fates of Undertale, Determined to the End, Legendary Heroes, and Noelle (That last name may not be right, as I am typing this that song it not out yet) 5. Just Monika: A DDLC Song 6. The Day That You Die: A Little Misfortune Song 7. Finding Mr Midnight: A Fran Bow Song 8. A Hat in Time: The Musical 9. The Mr Hopp's Playhouse trilogy, Nana Knows the Ending, Your Happy Ending, and His Perfect Playhouse 10. Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes: The Musical I'll keep the list here for right now, as there's other comments with different songs lol.

[@absolutelyrandom4978]

Great reaction! Some recs for a part 2 since imo you didn’t react to the best from them (excluding Baldi ‘cause that song’s really good): My Own Little Nightmare FNAF the Musical (though this one deserves its own video) Sonic the Musical Emergency Meeting The Day that You Die Blood & Tears Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes

[@NightRainPanda]

Papers Please...

[@leafhoppery8817]

Two. Would also be a good one

[@lilythearcticfox]

5:25 Bonnie!! I never noticed he was there before :o

[@ramensness]

I recommend another one of RE it’s called “resident enis” one of my favourites!

[@aidensilver7762]

You should check out the FNAF Musical and the Cuphead Musical. The FNAF Musical is way longer tho, but it's worth watching. Watch the whole musical, not just the clips/parts. Watch The Complete Series. Also, with the Cuphead musical, you could also watch the cast recording!

[@YourManMichael]

If you do this again, you should totally react to the RE FNAF musical (all... 5? Maybe), the REyandere simulator musical (NateWantsToBattle plays Senpai), the RE Kindergarten musical, the RE Little Nightmares musical, and maybe the RE slender musical! :3

[@crystaljones1998]

I love your content, but I just wanted to ask if you would please do more Random Encounters reactions! I've been enjoying their songs and videos since around 2011, and I think you will, too! I think the more lighthearted the game the more lighthearted the songs, so feel free to keep that in mind if you look for some!

[@thesiimp]

I really recommend playing Baldi's Basics. It's pretty weird and sometimes straight up unsettling with it's weirdness.

[@marxylpndm]

It seems a lot have already suggested the FNAF musical, but I also suggest "Cuphead the Musical", "No More Mama", or "The Fates of Undertale"! Also if you're interested, it would be really cool to see a video on Baldi's Basics fan songs, or even playing the game itself.

[@Llama_Loca]

Another great song of theirs is “Senpai notice me” , Its one of my favorites of them lmao

[@FeligamiAdrizoeSworaDennisTRF]

That's a great one!^^

[@NatGeodeWild]

The FNAF Musical is the best of their works along with the Kindergarten Musicals they did- Random Encounters is the GOAT

[@Nerkmit]

I like the paintings behind him :D

[@E_N_J.B]

RE FNAF musical is a banger

[@glyphisonline]

If you watch more of RE, keep an eye out for the beard! To my knowledge, he's in every musical they've ever made.

[@kaaratze]

You should listen to the sequel to the BATIM Musical, Matpat is singing again

[@marrpanra3982]

I saw the tumbnail and knew this would be a ride

[@p27ch]

personally i like their "Just Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes" one

[@AzmiAb]

Yandere Simulator’s: Senpai Notice Me is one I like, I especially love Fran Bow’s: Finding Mr. Midnight and Sister Location: Blood & Tears

[@Some_Gurl1353]

Like everyone else has been saying, check out FNAF The Musical! It’s got Natewantstobattle, Markiplier, and MatPat and it’s pretty really good.

[@a.t.fa.t.f7031]

Heylo, just thought I'd throw my recommendation of The Stupendium out there! Even just in your own time. Keep up the good work! Greav vid as always

[@fasdfdsdfs]

MatPat teamed up with The Warp Zone to do a cover of the Captain Planet theme song.

[@BasilPaste_]

oh!! some more wonderful stuff by random encounters is their FNAF series (its. a whole story and also just good music), Finding Mr Midnight (a song about the game Fran Bow), and either of their Little Nightmares songs (My Own Little Nightmare and Two, respectively). if you want more goofy stuff: resident enis. its. an older series. but a fun resident evil spoof.

[@little_Cece]

Matpat was a theatre kid and has been singing for a while

[@coolasduck14]

I imagine Mathew playing Baldi's Basics

[@sakurasarchive]

GAH I'M SO HAPPY YOU FINALLY DID THIS 😭😭😭 I recommended for this too!!

[@Damini368]

Let's be honest, if you threw a chainsaw in any elderly person's face, they would most likely go down flat and not be getting up anytime soon. Not that I'm condoning that course of action.

[@rubychan2288]

Hey, quick question. Have you ever gone to the Game Theory channel and sorted by oldest first?

[@UhOh-DJTurnsBanana-]

Part two???

[@jammjarr4111]

The reson matpat is so good at this sort of stuff because he was in musical theatre in university

[@sari7981]

i recomand the *finding mr midnight* musical from them and the tattletail one

[@thelegendofrosetyler]

Out of all the RE suggestions, I'm kinda sad no one mentioned "Resident Enis" yet, it's so funny

[@DimensionalityGalaxyFoxFilms]

i've watched this 3 times now, Please make a part 2 XD

[@cocokolaya]

you should react to the full heathers musical!

[@annawesometheflameingpikac3688]

He didn't even get to hit the real classics like resident enis! We need a part 2

[@thefifthbean]

I have listen to random encounters for a long time and if u ever do a follow up video, I have cultivated a lot of my favourites for you to consider (stars by the best) also this is a small list compared to if I were to rlly give a list of the best ones to check out lol ☆Senpai notice me Team full of harmony Kindergarten ☆Watch out! Nana knows the ending ☆Finding Mr midnight ☆My own little nightmare ☆Singachu (personal fav lol, even if not overall) Also sry if there's any ones u have listened to before, I tried to make sure to put a big enough list so that there's not a big chance for u to have heard them all lol

[@It_sSophiaUwU]

I suggest the tattletail song or any of the tf2 songs! The fnaf songs I also recommend, but they should be their own video because there's an entire storyline

[@TumblingAscending]

Oh man I'm ready to suggest many things Goose on Holiday Senpai Notice Me Cooking Mama The Whole FNAF musical Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Papers Please Little Nightmares Little Miss Fortune Legendary Heroes Deltarune Glad your watching them! They are basically my childhood Please do more Maybe watch the bloopers and the Google translate :).

[@rowan_k]

Hey Mathew! I have a suggestion for you to listen to Will Woods "The Normal Album" It has some really good music but also really interesting music

[@rwilson1197]

I like their vaults of fallout the best

[@hellhound78]

You got to listen to more of their stuff.

[@greenbean6547]

If you do more Random Encounters, Yandere Sim the musical and cooking mama are by far my favorites

[@richisanchez5383]

:0 matpats voice is "jucy"

[@carianawaters6425]

If you’re doing more of random encounters I’d recommend the fnaf series they did and the Phoenix Wright series they did

[@sakurasarchive]

I want him to react to their ddlc music video, I know he heard the song but watched the minecraft animation. I'd love to see his reaction to their effort in outfit and production tho

[@ilovewomenpleasepegmemaam692]

PLEASE LISTEN TO THE FRANBOW SONG, FNAF SERIES, PAPERS PLEASE SONG, HUNNIEPOP SONG, UNDERTALE SONG AND YANDERE SIM SONG!!

[@Sbubsyvaka]

I have been watching random encounter for year's they are nostalgic to me

[@bloodysparkles5372]

the five nights at freddies and ace attorney musicals are my favorites from random encounters, so id recommend those ones

[@Jeff-zk7cj]

“If you get a random CD” Ye
