Some say that Seymour took that mask and went on to become a villain capable of creating an Avenger's level threat

[@geraldinewoods254]

NO GOD NO

[@emmamajury9032]

HAHAAHAHAH YES

[@roselavino734]

😂😂

[@katiecarrot31]

HAHAHAHA

[@domatm]

NOOO XD

[@pleaseforgetme4985]

The closer Orin is to death the more the mask fogs up from his breath, showing that he is running out of breath , Intenional or not it's a pretty neat detail.

[@bleedblack23666]

It's cool but not intentional lol

[@user-iz8rr1kt5w]

y’all i’m so mad that this was cut out of the movie because it’s one of my favourites

[@okaylan6560]

Dakota Hickerson The musical was made after the first movie which didn’t have music, then they made another movie based off the musical.

[@okaylan6560]

Dakota Hickerson Cause it was cut out

[@okaylan6560]

Dakota Hickerson The Broadway version was made before that movie

[@katieellen671]

i keep coming to this video deadass it’s too good

[@RavenSutcliffe]

I have an acquaintance who's a really big fan of LSOH and they're always like "they cut off this one because it was too much but left Dentist????"

[@the_actual_alex]

fun fact: Orin didnt " laugh himself to _death._ " It takes 10 minutes of inhaling nothing but nitrous oxide to kill someone. However, anywhere from 30 seconds - 4 minutes will knock someone out. Meaning, depending on how long it took Seymour to take Orin outside, Seymour actually DID kill him

[@dbzfan2469]

Omg you might be right😯

[@celestiag.thomas-johnson7067]

THANK YOU I KNEW IT WAS WAY TO SHORT TO KILL HIM but also he did dramatically screamed and sung at him for 4 minutes straight

[@celestiag.thomas-johnson7067]

So that could've done it

[@burntbeansoup]

Yes, but he was breathing pure nitrous oxide (or almost pure), which we can’t survive on. So he likely died first of a lack of oxygen rather than an overdose.

[@marinaemeunome2319]

he died becaus he suffocated

[@utterfool2164]

THIS is the best way to do this scene! A perfect mixture of humor, suspense, and horror!

[@irenesacendoncillo3203]

yay more lumberjack seymour

[@kajipup7550]

small wimpy lumberjack. he disappointed his daddy who wanted him to go into the family business of lumberjacking. he became a florist.

[@buttmcgee299]

This is how he got the idea for the mysterio helmet

[@stanbai5263]

I think the bowl continuously fogging up adds to the horror of the situation

[@fayz655]

Okay, i am genuinely scared for that actor. Partly because of the acting, ofc, but it can't be easy to breathe in that fishbowl!

[@jaymepacheco6191]

If you look closely there are air holes in the fishbowl thing

[@mggentry]

That’s actiiiiiiiiing *jazz hands* 👐

[@snoopdoge191]

Look. It ain’t hard to breathe in there. I’m about to go and play the dentist in like 5 and a half hours and I’m so terrified because YOU CANT HEAR OUT OF THAT MF BOWL, or just any bowl really

[@anaisbarrosodgh5790]

BAnam

[@paigerose3110]

This is so well done ??? And on such a clearly low budget???

[@mrhupwop981]

That's theatre for you :)

[@person3945]

Mr Hupwop it’s also a concert performance😉

[@MealDealSupreme]

it's got Jake Gyllenhaal in it, hardly low budget

[@angelpagan3761]

Taran is one of the best dentist up to date!

[@nathanmassam9102]

Steve Martin is better in my opinion. Although this ending to the song is so much funnier

[@gmcnewlook]

Nathan Massam never liked how they made it “convenient” Steve’s Orin dies in a matter of seconds..... they made so many changes for you to like Seymour which is why the proper ending didn’t work (though the happy ending is a joke too ) they also made Seymour a sniveling wuss after Audrey gets fed he’s about to jump off a building (I get grief can make you do stupid things )

[@benlutostanski7755]

Douglass Sills' rendition is great

[@shedoesntevengohere9700]

Christian Borle plays orin off Broadway right now and I think he’s probably one of the greatest

[@kat-uk4bk]

SHE DOESNT EVEN GO HERE agreed!

[@misti-step]

taran looks more like mysterio than jake does in this lol

[@simeonwitten3636]

oh my god 😂

[@mezzate3122]

I'm so excited to play the dentist. I'm a one night special and its going to be great.

[@quinnlee-miller9792]

I hope it went well!

[@CherryBlossomOhka]

So? How did it go?

[@JesseVitrone]

3:44 - checking his vital signs with his fingers on the outside of the helmet 🤣

[@JillKnapp]

LOL! I missed that! Good catch!

[@saladfingersasmrparty9768]

Oh hey, it’s a character played by Jake Gyllenhaal and a fish bowl helmet

[@katiecarrot31]

I-

[@hiiimkyrah8777]

Welp now I know where Jake got his inspiration when it came to playing Mysterio🤷🏾‍♀️😭

[@hmcvirgo92]

The mask is even funnier if you consider the fact that Jake Gyllenhaal played the Bubble Boy protagonist Jimmy Livingston.

[@ellaminnow]

And also mysterio

[@sest6621]

i saw this for my 15 birthday and somehow my ipod starting playing music through my earbuds LOUDLY during the later part of this number. i didn’t realize it was me and i thought someone’s phone was ringing and was really annoyed at them. when i realized it was me ive never wanted to die more 😭 little shop is my favorite thing in the world and this was my first time seeing it live. i was so upset, it echoed through the theatre at the pause when he dies

[@charlottep4222]

What a great character actor! Love him!

[@JimmyTwoTimesGTPx2]

Loved the way they ended it with Seymour finishing the song!

[@TheIndigoSystem]

Markula4O4O yep that’s how it ends in the original show too. I wish they added this to the movie version. Mean Green Mother From Out Of Space is so good though. I wish that was in the show lol

[@Litterallyladybird]

@@TheIndigoSystem fr i would pay MILLIONS to see steve martin ( orin / the dentist ) sing its just the gas

[@celestiag.thomas-johnson7067]

@hitsuluv really? Douglas Is really funny and has a wonderful voice and he's just overall the best orin in my opinion

[@Litterallyladybird]

@@celestiag.thomas-johnson7067 oh i was just talking about the movie version! Im juat a big fan of this number and stuff :) looking back on that comment i can get how it comes off that way! but fr Douglas's orin is one of my favorites!

[@celestiag.thomas-johnson7067]

@hitsuluv vdjsvsbsjs understandable and yes douglas sills supremacy

[@meganmalloy3315]

He was such a great dentist, he was great at Orin!

[@arianacastaluccio-vilani9442]

Taran is a gift to this world 😂😂I love him so much ♡♡

[@rfrolicarts]

I want to see both of them in more musicals.

[@avastovall3745]

his vibrato is gorgeous though

[@spicybiscuit5530]

1:15 I am literally crying over that help

[@bookwoman53]

I just realized that Taran stars as Nature Cat on PBS which is one of my son’s favourite TV programs.

[@livelaughlove0209]

Wow!

[@JustWill6969]

I swear if this song isn't in the remake

[@lindapoplin9961]

@2:24 favorite part

[@livelaughlove0209]

Me too

[@flannerymonaghan-morris4825]

Is it me or would Taran make for an amazing Joker/Pennywise? He has the laugh and the sinister quality to him.

[@livelaughlove0209]

The feedback I think contributes to the comedy

[@adamwojtasiak6204]

Little did jake know he would be wearing the fish bowl a few years later

[@scottnewman522]

1:14 now that is an avengers level threat

[@OptimusPhillip]

Wait, is Seymour... pantomiming a gun? And I thought Roger Corman had a shoestring budget! XD lol

[@jssolan5207]

No it's the pow gun from TF2.

[@teeniebeenie8774]

taran should be a big star !!! luv jake:::::gr8 singer

[@adanielle8629]

As a fan of snl, Taran is one of my favorite cast members, and loving this musical and song, I clicked on the video not reading the title with an amazing surprise to see him play Orin.

[@adelehtaylor]

He does a great job, but I prefer the mask that Steve Martin wears - it’s infinitely more creepy.

[@RavenSutcliffe]

Yeah too bad he didn't sing this :(

[@MsAliciaRL]

Sure, but the fish bowl is easier to put on stage.

[@newsiesforever208]

Seymour: Nobody deserves to be chopped up and fed to a hungry plant. Orin: *enters room* Seymour: Now THIS is an Avengers-level threat!

[@emilywebster1056]

I love taran as the demented dentist he’s hilarious

[@asolomone]

Taran is the best

[@MrBeachMadness]

Gyllenhaal can sing well...but Killam can REALLY sing, like at a broadway level.

[@JillKnapp]

Taran was in Hamilton on Broadway -- he's got such amazing pipes, and what a gifted, funny-as-hell actor, too. :)

[@klarheit3909]

Wow, thank you very much

[@chazzmaniadevilll]

YES been waiting forever, thanks :)

[@lindapoplin9961]

Also the new remake really needs to includes songs from the Broadway cause there really good it helps the darkness of the story

[@asolomone]

I was laughing the whole time omfg

[@dylanmagallanes1846]

Mysterio’s Helmet origin

[@bfettrules1239]

A fishbowl. The thing they developed for the movie was awesome. It was a sick looking torture device. Couldn’t have come up with something a little better.

[@ryliemiller210]

is no one gonna talk about the fact that Seymour’s gun is just his finger hahahaha

[@JillKnapp]

This wasn't a full production, just a staged reading... so they don't use many props at all, and for the dialogue sections of the show (and even a few songs), the actors were using scripts. But I'm with you: If Orin can have the gas mask in this scene, and they're also using a dentist chair, Seymour kinda needs a prop gun otherwise it just looks like he's giving him the ol' party point. :-D

[@judeforsey584]

hard

[@meganmalloy3315]

Mysterio meet dentist Mysterio

[@jimmy_the_squid9456]

This song is so dark and disturbing, I really wish we got to see Steve Martin do this in the movie

[@ItsJustJakieG]

Oh my god I didn’t realize that was Jake

[@hazy_lacy]

Ironic especially since Jake later played Mysterio.

[@rabdizzle_]

What does Orin say at 3:05?

[@mrmoseby8075]

“Now. Do it now. Help me now. Nowwwwww.”

[@cyugen]

I literally just realized this is jake Gyllenhaal

[@kallen868]

He's. a perfect Dentist!

[@MadameChristie]

Is no one here suprised to see Jake Gyllenhaal here? Singinf? XD

[@groitbraun6017]

Nope, he's done many stage performances

[@aiparker9]

Ugh this makes me queasy no matter how mean Orin is

[@spiritosa0123]

taran killam

[@ChristianFrates1997]

Taran Killam looks like Mysterio.

[@TheBigBlueKnight]

Mysterio

[@yolo-ii5cz]

Anyone see Spider-Man far from home? if u have u should recognize someone in particular 🤔

[@nova._.1386]

Our mask is so creepy- we used a painters mask and roughed it up and it’s really scary

[@Buzzybee33]

ah..so that’s where Mysterio got his mask from..😂

[@TheHManShow]

Honestly I love taran’s performance but…that mask is really kinda ridiculous. Mostly because it’s not even a mask at all. It’s a buzz lightyear helmet lol

[@zlch4021]

It’s his special gas mask

[@dollartreevampire]

seymour isn't supposed to be hot. but i will never pass up anything with jake gyllenhaal
