Parallels between Starkid musicals 「1」

I didn't even realize when I started making this video, but the idea was probably inspired by this post:

It's not a parallel, it's a lifestyle.

[@samuelnaradowski2608]

Its Jeff

[@Lemon-ji5pz]

My favorite starkid parallel is when someone is exiting through a door and they run into someone. They say "excuse me" "no sorry it was my fault". It happens in avmp and hmb and I think mmd but I can't really remember.

[@honeysuckl2891]

the way i didn't realize this until now

[@pandoraurasbox]

8:19 In TGWDLM in the opening number, when Jeff says “The apotheosis is upon us” and everyone says “yaaaay,” they edited in that royalty free sound effect of a group of kids going “yaaaaaaay” to the video

[@QuikVidGuy]

Oh, that wasn't done live? Weird.

[@Ray-hk1zm]

It's quality.

[@blackfiredragon5629]

Why did I know that *kickline is inevitable* would be in this. My love for Starkid though.

[@sturmklinge9642]

They also refer to the audience in different musicals (kinda similiar to breaking the fourth wall) -> the shrubs in tgwlm, the watchers in tto, beautiful husbands and wives in firebringer

[@Nani0715]

And the bit in twisted right before take off your clothes when the princess asks the audience if they think Jafar’s right about Aladdin

[@clareann8912]

Can’t believe you left out “foreshadowing”

I guess Aragog was kind of normal.. right..?

[@juniperw3613]

the villaintouching is also inverted in let it out, at the beginning, with all of the infected caressing paul! also i heard that in tto once or twice they named characters after the actor/other starkid members

[@jennamoore3169]

Yeah I'm pretty sure they named someone Brian Holden

[@stellasdoesstuff]

And also in the opening song on TGWDLM too, with everyone touching Emma. Although, I guess you could make an argument that both of them are villains in the eyes of the Hivemind

[@solane2148]

The 'touching the villain' is great

[@rancidprince3133]

I’d love a compilation of just every kickline in one of their shows/tours

[@IwillrememberAchmed]

oh that would be really cool but i would forget even more than I normally do

[@caitlinhall2242]

[@ms.marvelous8156]

What about during AVPS for fourth wall breaking Dolores: “You can’t disaporate out of hogwarts right?” Audience member: right. Dolores: Right!

[@mclovinthe25yearoldhawaiia48]

Additions: 1. saying „sInGinG anD DaNciNg“ as part of breaking the fourth wall (firebringer, Dumbledore tells Tom that‘s all they learn at Hogwarts, many times in TGWDLM) 2. Lauren playing male characters 3. „Who turned out the lights?“ (When Scarfy is on the Basilisk‘s eyes and when Superman‘s cape is turned over) 4. naming a character like the actor (Joey, Clark, Curt in SAF) 5. including current (Pop) culture in the musical even though it doesn‘t fit the setting (AVPM with Wizards of Waverly Place etc; Firebringer with Uber, ...; TTO with Broadway; Twisted with Woody) 6. The Noseboop (Harry does that with Hermione a lot of times, Cynthia with Curt in SAF and it probably happens in another Starkid musical)

[@IwillrememberAchmed]

Oh great that might be enough for a second part!

[@laurensfa8337]

I will remember Achmed ooo can you also add puppets/cardboard cutouts? (avpm-dragon, starship-bugs and pincer, firebringer-snarl, avpsy-snake, anything else i’m forgetting

“Jeff being insane” is the best topic omg yes

[@speckofdignity2487]

“Random high pitched screaming” after watching Black Friday this is even more accurate

[@genaiofficialmusic]

Lauren laying face down on the floor to express strong negative emotions is like my new favorite thing.

[@sammoblammo7202]

new one "PAUL!" "CHAOS REIGNS!"

[@facts776]

Honestly I’m kind of sad you didn’t include the iconic flying carpet from twisted in the special effects category 😔

[@IwillrememberAchmed]

OH MY GOD NOOO when i started that category that was the only one i was sure i had to include and now i forgot about it

[@brooketrotter18]

Or the start of Take Off Your Clothes in the fourth wall section. "Oh no you guys! Do you think Jafar could be right about Aladdin?".

[@AlizaGloria]

there’s also the weird use of the word “crimany,” Junior says it in Starship, Superman says it in HMB, Father says it in TTO, there’s probably more I’m forgetting

[@itzcassssie872]

now grace chasity

[@sydneycampbell7060]

You forgot the kiss in starship when everyone is calling up soft and he’s hiding being Lauren joe kisses her back

[@linkb.5989]

"A kickline is inevitable" That is probably my favorite line ever-

[@NothingCanDescribeUs]

I feel like Clark's whole thing and then Jemilla listing everyone in the band as her spouses in Firebringer counts as interacting with the band

+ Jaimie menacingly singing the line “All you gotta do is” in both TGWDLM and starship

[@jillpongo2959]

What about when Jamilla said. Look at all these people. These are all me husbands and wives 😂. That was kinda breaking the 4th wall 😂 Edit: also now that Black Friday out there is a part where Lauren just screams for a good ten seconds 😂

[@kindasortanice]

is it really a starkid musical if they dont kick the air

[@elizabethw6683]

almost all of the kicklines have joe walker initiating it (achmed, to dance again, & dynamic duet) and i feel like that’s on purpose

[@megaygirl1804]

Also : Lauren does the same dance at the beginning of We Got Work to Do as BoyToy

“ *A KICKLINE IS **_INEVITABLE_* “

[@mironnabokov1646]

Let's talk about how "No one remembers Achmed" is basically "Nazis are not so bad" and "What do you want Paul" is too close to "Not your seed"

[@QuikVidGuy]

in what ways

[@mironnabokov1646]

@@QuikVidGuy I am glad you asked! The Nazis and Achmed are so similar structurally and melodically. For example, the refrains are fully interchangeable, so that they sometimes get mixed up in my head, well, the answer-question structure of both doesn't help either. "Not your seed" bridge sounds like a countermelody of "I'm just a boss, I'm not an idea guy" section of "Whaddoya want Paul", but this bit is more subjective

[@astrowiz3544]

@@mironnabokov1646 A lot of the TGWDLM opening song parallels to Not Your Seed as well The very first progression in the opening on the organ (Bb Bb A Bb G# Bb G Bb C# E) is a motif that's repeated when Alice sings "aliens invading minds" And the whole "musicals tell the impossible, they evoke the philosophical" section in the opening structurally resembles "if I turned my insides out would you even know that I was there" except that the latter is much less dissonant and resolves itself, mirroring the context of the story
