I still can’t believe the wait is over, this show is absolutely incredible
I have a few more plans for npmd videos, I’d like to attempt a song ranking but I might have to think about it for a while first

I love the fact that the show opens with Richie being dead, so then when he says "I love being alive!" you hear a chorus of gasps and "No!"s from the audience

[@user-ob7gw4lk9n]

I just love Richie and Jon's performance in here, aswell as Angela's they were totally awesome

[@jessicamacdonald5151]

I dont see enough about Jon's performance. he was hilarious in this.@@user-ob7gw4lk9n

[@sapphire26]

I forgot he died until that line 😭

[@lndseymsp]

I didn't even realize that he was Richie 😭 I thought the "I'm dead" lyric was a joke because of the "High school is killing me" song

[@chaoscretin5272]

“She’s bisexual and dead where else would she be” has been on repeat in my head

[@mcolbert6138]

I know right I love that line. Probably because I’m bisexual but that line just lands perfectly

[@coyotix]

@@mcolbert6138Ooh big mistake saying that... Grace is approximately 94 meters away and approaching rapidly

[@Riobjection]

i literally use it all the time on myself its sucha great line

[@cindytoast4045]

‘had to sell your bowtie to feed your fucking family?’ has got to be one of my personal favourite line deliveries, it’s just so hilarious to me

[@quirrelmorts]

Will’s line deliveries are incredible

[@he.said.teenjiejer]

will truly fucking nailed it

[@semireese7448]

“no he thinks the ghost is real, he’s just really fucking brave” is one of my FAVORITE lines and I haven’t seen anyone else talk about it yet omg

[@quirrelmorts]

it’s so good

[@luna732]

Hands down, the whole joke with him getting scared but then proceeding to confront his fear was so funny (and him proceeding to think it was a nice thing and being so genuinely excited as well). But that specific line is probably the line that I keep randomly replaying in my head the most

[@JDM-is-my-name]

​@@luna732yeah, it's really funny that Max is like "y'all are so nice to help me overcome my fears 😁" and then he DIES

[@the_idiot_eris5029]

The way max says “skela’in” gives me a weird bit of serotonin

[@chiaradavermann]

Good, I wasn’t the only one who noticed 😅

[@Tal_lullah6166]

As a Scottish person who’s accent makes us say it the exact way he does - it wasn’t until I saw it pointed out that I realised that wasn’t how everyone would say it

[@SweetCarolineBAMBAMBAM]

​@@chiaradavermannOn the live chat during the premiere, everyone was spamming "skela'in" like 50 times lmao😅

[@daanwilmer]

I love how the community just comes together and starts making videos like these the minute a new musical drops (or, well, two and a half glorious hours of watching it later).

[@quirrelmorts]

i couldn’t sleep after it was released, i was so overwhelmed and had to start editing as soon as i could

[@aleandra3945]

angela WAS BORN to be grace chastity. like no one could play her like her

[@seignee]

she nailed the feminine psycho vibe, what a gal

[@jamessirot854]

Is it bad that I get almost Claude Frollo vibes from Grace at the end of both NMT 2 and NPMD?

[@FreakDaMIghet]

At first I was upset that Jeff Blim wasn't in this show, but then I realized that having him and Will Branner in the same room would have created some sort of nexus of chaotic energy that would have ripped the fabric of reality apart.

[@undercoverfangirl5491]

He was in the show once I think. During the Hatchet Town song where the town is blaming everyone. He was the man in a hurry.

[@quirrelmorts]

he does some voiceovers too but he’s not a full cast member. i definitely felt his absence (along with jaime lyn) but i think the show is incredible and jeff’s presence is additionally there with his music

[@HayLeesHomeMade]

Ok but i want that chaotic energy in my life

[@hawktalon7890]

Jeff was only trying to protect us from the chaos nexus.

[@he.said.teenjiejer]

i heard he also made a cameo as sam in the live version

[@lizzard4890]

Angela has been such a shockingly good fit for Starkid, she has that enthusiasm that you can just feel, and eminantes their brand of unhinged so well. Everytime she spoke I was dying laughing

[@Mackarre]

Ik I just which we had more smosh crossovers

[@GalacticGaming_]

I know! Like I was watching Black Friday the other day and I was wondering how Angela manages to play a laid back, stock girl at toy zone like Lex and then play a young girl who is a devout Christian and has a shrill voice. Like just the range she has is so amazing!

[@scw55]

Also, Kim, since Black Friday has been given more varied roles, so we've been able to enjoy her range too. @@GalacticGaming_

[@GalacticGaming_]

@@scw55 yeah definitely! Kim has always really good vocal range as well as an acting one. She can just play so many character even just in NPMD! (Nibbly, Miss Mulberry, Mrs.Chastity, Miss Tessburger, etc.)

[@Addy0302]

Jon's "My barbecue" is already one of top ten best line deliveries in Starkid history

[@quirrelmorts]

absolutely

[@Plumgoblin]

M’BARBECUE!

[@LunaWitcherArt]

7:20 "Oh, it's all right, Grace" ✋️ "don't comfort her, she's fucking weird" is such a great way to close that pitty party

[@lily_kitten_illustration]

1:15 Jon Matteson saying 'NANI?!' is my favourite line in the whole musical

[@pistonfists]

I screamed so fucking loud in my Discord call at it, this line is transcendent

[@luna732]

Angela as Grace Chastity is absolutely amazing, literally cant imagine anyone playing Grace as well as she does, she just brings such unhinged energy to her. And I was so pleasantly surprised with Max, seriously, Will has such good line delivery, and like Angela he brings such intensity and unhinged energy to his character, it's delightful. (And Richie's "I'm not a loser" is staying rentfree in my head, they really got me caring for him despite telling me he'd die from the get-go lol)

[@haylielegremlinfriend2805]

Gosh this one really grew on me, I love the writing and performances. The concept of the barbecue monologues had me dying.

[@quirrelmorts]

It’s grew on me so suddenly. I watched the digital ticket but was too busy with life to get really attached and now I’m absolutely crazy about the show

[@jinsoulsbleachedhair]

I literally can’t stop cracking up on Angela’s delivery of “buTTer, head and BuTTer”

[@QuIqUe190m]

6:25 I gagged. I surely did not imagine the Hot chocolate dude will be Pete or even relevant but here we are. Also 5 years! I didn't realise it is been 5 years since TGWDLM

[@quirrelmorts]

I’ve known who he was since 2019 cause Nick accidentally revealed it to my friends

[@QuIqUe190m]

@@quirrelmorts Oh wow. So cool. I was truly surprised

[@EvanSawyer4]

The 5 years line is a 4th wall break since it’s been 5 real time years since TGWDLM, though only 2 in universe. About Pete being the hot chocolate kid. I kinda had an inkling ever since the first photos where you can see Joey wearing the outfit. It’s such a distinctive look.

[@matthewhearn9910]

You know what'll really break your brain? Only 4 years passed between AVPM and AVPSY. And the first five years of Starkid covers THE ENTIRE TIME THEY WERE DOING PARODY MUSICALS. It's been all originals since then, outside of VHS Christmas which is less parody and more comedic adaptation of public domain material (and was originally not marketed as a Starkid musical but rather Starkid just being the company to virtually stage their friend Clark Baxtresser's concept album).

[@al_eggs]

When Ted shows up at the end of Black Friday, he’s next to Robert Manion’s Hot Chocolate Boy.

[@peachfan100]

“we both know you can’t ignore me because you’re crazy about me.” “…WHAT?!?!?!”

[@Mrscillianmurphy19]

“So you do know the bible” had me rolling

[@breadcrumbhoarder]

My favorite little scene has to be when Grace just busts into the coffee shop screaming “SAVE ROOM FOR JESUS!!!” They’re such a quirky friend group lmao

[@quirrelmorts]

almost included that

[@EliseFaith22]

Love the foreshadowing of Max saying "I wont rest until i taste Grace Chastity's peach" when doing just that that is, in the end, what ends his immortal ghost rampage.

[@matthewhearn9910]

Curt desperately hiding his mouth with the newspaper when Angela's saying "Pass the buttstuff" and "Head and butter" is a mood.

[@AA-ln3kn]

Everyone’s got their secrets, and this one’s mine - I love Jesus 🥺 Will Branner’s delivery in this is so so hilarious, love him for it.

[@elitusdelitus1509]

Omg the fucking bow tie kid???

[@wintersoldier164]

I think max is one of my favorite horror musical villains

[@quirrelmorts]

absolutely. he’s one of my favorite starkid villains already, and there’s a lot of great competition

[@spicy.scribz]

SAME he might be my favorite starkid villain tbh

[@AsianStudioss]

I love how in 3:18, they swapped the roles of who says “you’re fucking useless ___” Like in The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musical, it was Ted (Joey Richter) who said it to Paul (Jon Matteson) Now in Nerdy Prudes Must Die, it was Richie (Jon Matteson) who says it to Peter (Joey Richter) I can’t be the only one who noticed it LMAO

[@constrictedconstitution6451]

And in both instances Jon's character forgot to get a video of the main issue 😂

[@mickys8065]

There's also a bit where Joey calls Rose Mariah "A mean girl", which I suspect is a nod to her being in Mean Girls.

[@-zoe-4578]

And ‘what do you want steph’ aaaa pokey call back to tgwdlm what do you want paul

[@alyssabateman1653]

In that same scene Pete says to Richie "Yeah, I don't want to though" like how Paul said to Melissa in TGWDLM when she asked him to join the company softball team. I love these call backs so freaking much

[@quirrelmorts]

apparently Jeff said he doesn’t remember if the mean girl line was on purpose or not

[@starkidstuffiguess]

I could say it for days- these lines are only amplified by each person’s IMPECCABLE delivery. I swear this casting was provided by heaven

[@quirrelmorts]

completely agree

[@forcefedsoup]

the way Max says "skele-uhn" instead of skeleton was such a specifically hilarious thing to me

[@dez6529]

I only got that joke from watching these favourite bits videos but once I did I was like that's hilarious

[@matchad]

this is not even related to the musical itself, but the amount of people i saw calling Will "Jerma" is the funniest thing during the premiere

[@quirrelmorts]

and the fact that it led to Jon and Mariah having to look up who he is

[@Umbrores]

My goddd I'm so glad I'm not the only one!! I watched it with some friends a few days after it aired and my immediate question was "why does he look like Jerma though" (it was very fun to introduce the complete chaos machine that is Jerma to my friend who didn't know him afterwards)

[@cscpmc]

I just watched it for the first time yesterday and thought "is that Jerma?"

[@honeyjo4959]

* One of my favourite underrated bits is Joey saying “Yeah… I don’t want to, though” to Jon and Jon then saying “You’re fucking useless, Pete!” to Joey, nice reverse of some of their characters’ well known lines from TGWDLM

[@agreenpar]

I managed to avoid spoilers and didn’t listen to the cast album before watching the pro shot last night. I genuinely thought they were gonna kill off Joey and I started crying.

[@lightworthy]

SAME i’ve avoided everything about this musical since it premiered and genuinely had NO idea what the premise even really was, it got me so good there

[@agreenpar]

@@lightworthy Right? Same. All I knew going into it was there was a bit called “The Barbecue Monologues” and that was it. I had no idea what that even meant.

[@lunavixrn5651]

I was pleading the entire time for grace to pay the price instead. I knew that if she gave up what mattered most to her it wouldn’t be a person. When Steph had the gun pointed at him I was praying for someone to intervene even though I didn’t think they would. When grace started acting seductive I immediately knew what she was doing. I was so relieved that I didn’t even care when grace went psycho killer because Pete and Steph lived. I loved the ending of this show.

[@maxwellgrimsley]

Angela took a character that I should despise in most every way, and made her one of, if not my favorite. The power this woman holds is unfounded. 😂

[@quirrelmorts]
