I love how Brittany was originally supposed to be a generic cheerleader, before Heather's hilarious ad libs made Brittany S. Pierce the iconic queen we know and love! 💖

[@ELmayberry]

yesss

[@WeCanShowYoutheWorld]

I love when she says "Did you know a dolphin is just s gay shark?"

[@ELmayberry]

@@WeCanShowYoutheWorld 😂😂😂

[@kait6994]

I don’t think Naya was supposed to have much of a role either, but yeah Heather proved to be the most underrated by the casting folks.

[@kait6994]

@@WeCanShowYoutheWorld what about her song “my cup”? 😂😂😂😂

[@rubygracemoseley8144]

I will forever be happy to know that Heather improved a lot of her Brittany lines. It makes so much sense.

[@kait6994]

And those idiots only brought her on to dance! She proved she was so much more than just a dancer.

[@coasttocoast2011]

The character of Kurt was specifically written for Chris Colfer. He originally auditioned for Artie

[@SallyBMcgill]

I thought he auditioned for Finn. Huh, you learn something new everyday

[@Bloodyheroesandlegends]

Adam giving Darren the guitar genuinely gave me "A very potter musical" flash backs

[@lndseymsp]

Same! I just knew that it was going to be 'totally awesome'! I couldn't resist lmao

[@juliagray9219]

Once he had the guitar it was 100% Darren. Blaine had left the building

Damn that G.L.E.E.! They always make twisted abominations of everything!

[@morsology]

I still can't stop laughing at Brittany's line "I don't even remember putting that in there." When Sue filled her locker with dirt 😂

[@kait6994]

I know a lot of people didn’t like Glee later on, but I always stuck with it. It’s entirely unique. The musical talent was too great for me to walk away from the show. But, when Cory died, you could tell that the writers lost their way.

[@bembolbug]

Yeah, the one with the Corey tribute was the last episode i ever watched. I was too heartbroken to continue with the show plus considering that that the story has become lackluster since they graduated

[@carson9359]

Most definitely. It's just hard because you don't expect to lose someone, especially that young. They thought they had the show pin pointed because they knew how they wanted it to end.. with Finn included in that. When he passed away they didn't know what they wanted and it kind of got rocky

[@arissam.a5676]

Dianna's laugh was actually very cute when chord bumped into her

[@anikabasu4873]

Lmao I love Quinn's laugh at 7:58

[@trinaq]

Me too, Dianna's laugh is absolutely adorable! 💞

[@kait6994]

I kinda always wondered if that wasn’t scripted. Her laugh just seemed so real. I wonder if he whispered something to her, it kinda looks like it.

[@rigobertoalcantar9519]

Wasn’t the Santana crying scene somewhat considered unscripted because I heard she wasn’t meant to leave mid song, she was supposed to finish it but she couldn’t so they improv’ed that scene somwhat by rushing what was supposed to happen next.

[@code.s.l7544]

Yea I thought that would be number 1

[@DonnaAprhodite]

When and where was this said? I never knew that was unscripted! Was it in an interview

[@GA-fn8hr]

because that is glee lore crew members have confirmed the scene was filmed as scripted.

[@kait6994]

Yes. I’m pretty sure a lot of the songs had moments like that. The whole cast have said that their grief was entirely real (of course). And that’s why Lea was only there for the one song.

[@GA-fn8hr]

@@kait6994 the point was it was scripted for Santana to leave when she left. It wasn't because Naya broke early.

[@aliceeve6421]

This proves to all of us Brittany S. Pierce IS a Genius

[@N.j_Rose]

Ooo

[@MilanDj31]

I am currently watching 4th season and as more I watch Glee i think more that Brittany is pretending stupidity.

Dude I would cry if I were one of a dozen people in a room watching Kristen Chenowith sing live. I’m surprised more of them weren’t crying being theater kids haha.

1. I love Adam Lambert's character 2. Chris Colfer was awesome in this show 3. I will never look at Mark Salling the same again

[@heydeanie]

I know what u mean

[@yuyukit]

true about mark. i love puck and i know how to differentiate actors from roles, but i still can't help but to feel uncomfortable when he's onscreen

[@juliamiller5120]

Marry the Night was easily top five in the best renditions the show has done.

[@jackson_terrance]

The only reason I started watching Glee was for Adam Lambert. He needs more recognition for his role in the show. Especially after Marry The Night.

[@barkydogable]

That whole scene made me realize how incredible a singer he is. Also Santana’s reaction was mine.

[@moonlight_sparkle6659]

Me too! I was a big fan of his back then and I only watched Glee because of him, he really should've been on there a lot more because he has the talent but I also know too he had Queen at the time so he couldn't do both

[@rubygracemoseley8144]

I’ve always thought that the elevator scene seemed super ad libbed. I’m happy that it was and I was right

[@Katjessss]

What does ad libbed mean, actually?

[@rubygracemoseley8144]

@Katjesss it means that it wasn’t in the original script and the actors just said it because they wanted to

[@trivolution1]

Number 1, All of Lea Michelle's bullying and discrimination.

[@kait6994]

That was definitely a surprise for me. I loved Rachel bc of how great Lea Michele’s voice is. But after hearing how she was, I can’t support her. I guess it makes sense, the rest of them are all still friends. I don’t know if she talks to any of them other than Darren across.

[@Bloodyheroesandlegends]

@@kait6994 also Groff and Becca but I think it’s just cause they’re all very friendly

[@kait6994]

yeah but this video talks about the cute/funny unscripted stuff and i feel like putting that in a ranking video feels a bit wrong

You wanna know what performer not from Glee gave an iconic performance of Maybe This Time? Stevie from Schitt’s Creek.
