Ranking the characters from NPMD's Hatchet Town

I know I haven't put out a video in a whole month despite having a lot planned, but I at least have this short video to release :)
This vid is an addition to a playlist/series I started a couple years ago, thought I'd apply it to their newest show
If you don't like the ranking, then maybe you should follow me on Instagram so you can influence the voting next time? @/starkidstuffiguess

Can we just talk about how smoothly corey gets off those benches

[@starkidstuffiguess]

no because literally

[@turnipcrazy]

Every time I watch it it's just so satisfying. I swear no one comments on it but it's just so good

[@Lady_Ginnie]

Right?? He's not only coming down off the bleachers, but he's doing the choreography on the way down, too!

[@kawaiita934]

Omg I never noticed

[@applepatronum4934]

AND he takes a step down every time the lyrics say "down"! I'm obsessed.

[@thebugthatruinsyourpicnic]

Given that EVERY other character has a known name and (back)story, Bryce's townsperson needs their own Nightmare Time story

[@thetinytoast127]

The way Lauren says “DAN!?!” will forever be one of my favorite parts of the entite musical

[@BriskShipGarlic]

he is beauty he is grace he is dan reynolds with action news weekdays at 10 pm

[@jamessirot854]

I think Barry's last name is Swift. Which means to go fast.

[@starkidstuffiguess]

omg i absolutely knew that, how did i even make that mistake 😭😭

[@jamessirot854]

@@starkidstuffiguess It's ok.

[@SmudgedSketch]

Also when u say the whole name it sounds like “very swift”

[@thebugthatruinsyourpicnic]

the name Barry is probably inspired by the Flash too

[@savannahwiththegreenest_eyes]

@@thebugthatruinsyourpicnicthat was my thought too!

[@JackBongos]

FITS THE BILL, HE FITS THE BILL 🔥🔥🔥

[@SmudgedSketch]

Real I love that lyric

[@ChloeTheePayne]

what an absolutely hilarious idea, well done! HE IS DAN REYNOLDS!!!

[@SmudgedSketch]

Boy Jerry should’ve been higher tbh, he’s probably my fav nightmare time villain.

[@SmudgedSketch]

Shoutout to Kim for her awesome falsetto near the end of this song frfr 😍

[@purp4168]

I feel your comment has too many words. Just "Kim 😍" is needed

[@m0ssy_g0bl1n]

i think we can all agree bryce did so well on the choreo (and that solo??!?) and lauren did so well choreographing the show 🙏🙏🙏

[@hoopa_axolotl9293]

Ok, most of these are good, but Bryce in seventh?!?!?! Your honour she should be first

[@QuikVidGuy]

I love Ziggy's line on the cast recording. "I'm a volunteer counselor!"

[@classlessacts3535]

That isn’t Ziggs, that’s what was said during the live shows, and they didn’t have Jae to play them.

[@Lady_Ginnie]

Ziggy and the other cameos were added in for the proshot version, as a little easter egg. In the original run of the show, other characters replaced the cameos. Dan Reynolds was the one accused of hanging around the school selling drugs (he's a volunteer counselor!).

[@AbriellaWan-eu2sh]

help why am i so attracted to ziggy

[@quirrelmorts]

lauren looks so good in that dress

[@chanceadkins8061]

Karen Chastity may not have gotten a higher spot but she was serving face the whole time, a win all on its own

[@lieutenantpoltergeist9750]

The fact that Ziggy has only truly appeared in one Nightmare Time episode is a crime! I need more Ziggs

[@theteainpotato]

there’s so much in this song i want to point out. the choreography. the character voices while they sing. how much this shows the hatchetfield adults’ response to fear. there’s just so much here that makes me happy, i love this show.

[@winonaforever1800]

I actually didn’t understand ANY of the refrencese in the song can someone please explain😭

[@starkidstuffiguess]

a lot of the references come from other hatchetfield based shows (this includes their Nightmare Time shows!!) As far as characters go: - Dan (joey’s character) and Donna (lauren’s character) are the known news reporters of the town. They can be heard in TGWDLM when they discuss the meteor and peanuts. They’re most likely in many other Hatchetfield shows when they’re relaying the news. - (Boy) Jerry (Jon’s character) is a reference to Nightmare time 2 Episode “Abstinence Camp” and is one of the camp leaders with his work partner “Girl Jeri” (she’s mentioned in the soundtrack version of the song) - Gerald (Dylan’s character) is Linda’s partner from Black Friday and makes an appearance in a couple Nightmare time episodes - Barry (Jeff’s character) is the man in the hurry referenced in a LOT of Hatchetfield shows - Ziggs/Ziggy (Jae’s character, in the tie-dye) is a reference from Nightmare Time 2 Episode “Perky’s Buds”. They’re a coworker of Emma’s in the story and likes to smoke weed lol - Charles (James’ character) is a reference to Nightmare Time Season 2 Episode “Yellow Jacket”. Is there anything else you didn’t understand? I feel like most of the easter eggs are in the characters :)

[@winonaforever1800]

@@starkidstuffiguess thank you, I just need to hurry up and watch nightmare time😭

[@gottagoquack]

my personal ranking in terms of how the character adds to the song goes like so: 1. bryce's townsperson (the VOCALS. she carried this song imo) 2. boy jerry (i'm a jon matteson stan i guess so i'm biased here lmaoo) 3. mrs. chasity (amazing vocals, amazing choreo, and she's just cute 😭) 4. dan reynolds (joeys facial expressions will never not get me. plus dan is an icon) 5. donna daggit (only lower than dan because she does leave midway but lauren slays at this choreo as always ofc) 6. officer bailey (only this low bc ACAB slash hj but yeah curt's "i'm a cop!" being missing in the pro shot is a shame bc i think that's a fun line and he delivers it well haha) 7. mayor lauter (only low bc he also leaves in the beginning but he IS an iconic part of the song, since he does kinda kickstart the whole thing) and these last three are the cameos which are cool but lose points for no singing roles which is the only reason why they're last for me 8. ziggy (because i'm biased and i love them) 9. gerald (for the gary goldstein name drop sorta) 10. man in a hurry (he's in a hurry. i don't hate him in this but this is the only place i can put him so 😭)

[@gottagoquack]

can you tell i'm obsessed with this song??

[@asrieldreemurr1988]

good vid i agree with the tier list for the. most part

[@RyanGamez6901]

Why did I think that Bryce Charles' "Townsperson" was just Detective Shapiro...... I've watched this about 10+ times, and I thought that it was just Detective Shapiro.....

[@starkidstuffiguess]

but… shapiro has the wig… right???

ikkkkkkkkkkk, I'm just slowwwwwwwwww @@starkidstuffiguess
