SCENE 4: HAPPYMAN on the RED PLANET and GEORGE

THE OPERA: Happy Man has a change of heart about George and leads his friends to go find him. Meanwhile, George is very sad. Fred somehow finds out what Happy Man is planning and is disgusted. All five characters sing a huge chorus.

[@ratboygenius]

this is a sketch. you heard the potential. the real version hasn't yet come about.

[@actual-guy-fieri]

What do you mean? Is there going to be some sort of remake?

[@antpaste]

Please 3d version when?

[@ShinedPolished]

honestly i dont know how 3d fred can be pulled off, but if ryan is still thinking of it, hes prob gonna do it well because his style is so charming imo

[@marshall305]

I'll wait as long as it takes, I just hope the real version hasn't been scrapped

[@oranteon3307]

geez Freds pettyness level is off the charts in this series so far

[@kaylalundberg726]

wait until episode 6, where he laughs when they are about to die.

[@echo5172]

Im not advocating for fred here, but George was the one who didnt follow the plan and got them all stuck on the red planet in the first place

[@axneon]

@@echo5172 you are so right but this comment was from waaaaay before that was revealed

[@echo5172]

Very good point, I hadnt thought of that

[@colossalkingjohn6008]

3:05 "I don't feel so George."

[@actual-guy-fieri]

Colossal King John Mr. Stark, I don’t feel so George....

[@goodgoodmike]

This is criminally underrated. Everyone's sleeping on the best composer of our generation. Keep it up RBG! 4:10 is my favorite part

[@elementallobsterx]

He’s an awesome composer alright

[@elementallobsterx]

What do you think of Happyman part 1 btw? I think that’s RBG’s best composition

[@HatoBumpkin]

Nah hard disagree. It was neat for a very small niche of people 15 years ago.

[@elementallobsterx]

@@HatoBumpkin he’s not THE best composer of our generation but he’s definitely a contender. You’re chordally deaf btw

[@HatoBumpkin]

@@elementallobsterx Can you explain to me why I should be so impressed? It just sounds like auto tune to me. But I'd like to hear your explanation.

[@schweedies4597]

This is all I've ever wanted from a "bad" but endearing space opera when it comes up as a trope in other media.

[@quailbert2680]

How does this have so little views.. still? A decade later and this opera still remains a precious golden nugget tucked away? This is an absolute injustice.

[@slumjum90]

This miscarriage of justice cannot stand! ~Happyman (From the happy factory song)

[@joacovo1]

This deserves a Broadway production.

[@sages8821]

joacovo1 I don’t think it has good enough of a story.

[@thespiritualfishlad4153]

People say this or say the videos should be remade with proper singers/animation but honestly that would be taking the charm away. Don't suck the soul out of my Ratboy Genius!!!

[@JarrahTarrah]

I've come back to rewatch all of your content in preparation for Starship Genius, and this never fails to floor me. I'm a sucker for vocal counterpoint, and you apply it masterfully. Especially when the contrapuntal vocals meet up on a shared word/phrase and momentarily harmonize, I get goosebumps. You are the best.

[@artiemilano378]

Get out of my brain also I just like to eat my breakfast

[@Madisongs]

Dude’s a music theory master. All his songs are great.

[@Ninetails2000]

I thought Minecraft Dreams was good, but THIS...Wow! The harmony you're able to get out of the synth voices! And the lyrics....It's actually kind of haunting...Especially hearing how depressed Gorge is...

[@actual-guy-fieri]

The voices in this are actually the creator’s! He just pitched them differently and added effects.

[@elementallobsterx]

@@actual-guy-fieri WHAT? I was kinda suspecting that…

[@Cubelarooso]

This is why I never go to other planets.

[@notinspectorgadget]

Especially the *Red Ones*

[@luchow3kito]

LMAO

[@Middyrose]

SAAAAAAME THO

[@gumdrop337]

I just bought a happy man shirt

[@lindayantiadhihusada2340]

George was lonely and desperate since nobody befriended him. :(

[@ppatricide]

this is so fucking amazing why is this not famous yet

[@Casanuda]

Green Monster is cool.

[@Fromond96]

Well Happyman, it took you a while to realize that George just wanted friendship. Nice job.

[@ganondorfchampin]

I kinda want to translate all the lyrics into Latin and perform a classical live arrangement of this.

[@smkanim2009]

do it

[@ganondorfchampin]

lazicful I also kinda don't know latin or how to arrange something classically.

[@smkanim2009]

ganondorfchampin rip

[@willschannel_]

RatBoyGenius your writing is so good!!!!!!! Stories, music and all!

[@607]

I can say that the on-screen text really helps a lot, in the later episodes! I am having to try hard to follow.

[@ratboygenius]

I understand. I think I should include the libretto in the video description. Thanks!

[@nic.k_o]

This is so weirdly good. Has such a dream vibe.

[@a.gonzalez610]

I love this beautiful music so much

[@gstut1]

awesome

[@LABratschist]

Motet...!

[@ratboygenius]

Haha. Yes it is. Thanks!

[@Fromond96]

Fred can go neck it.

[@LoolooPotato1111]

3:05 is nice asf

[@gumdrop337]

I've been dying to know this... does Fred have a long nose or is he wearing a deep v neck shirt?

[@Icheasea_T]

It's a nose confirmed in Ryan's minecraft server

[@keepyourshoesathedoor]

Icheesea T. Is the red line his mouth or his shirt?

[@kaylalundberg726]

@@keepyourshoesathedoor SHIRT THIS IS CURSED

[@justalittleamerican]

Happy.

[@TigirlakaLaserwolf6]

This is actually a really good plot. The music is amazing. I would go see this, were it a play. But how did Bob get to the planet anyway?

[@BaconLordess]

TigirlakaLaserwolf6 maybe he drove there and his car broke down. Or he walked.

[@silentgp3685]

I really want to say "after like fifteen minutes, I arrived on the red planet by foot"

[@Laggity]

"I walked here!" "You walked here?" "I walked here!"

[@derpjammer7195]

Sue: 😢

[@squawkietalkie56]

watching this in 2020 and knowing how the galactic superheroes got to be this way is just heartbreaking. Fred thinks George ruined all their lives, (which he sort of did) but really, they are victims of circumstance. I blame the big fish boss.

[@Pikuwashi]

LOL XD

[@aMondayMorning]

I really should have watched this series in chronological order. I am so confused. Why is Fred treating George like this?

[@607]

I wonder too! I think nothing has been released about the time in between Starship Genius and Happyman's Opera yet. I guess it started with Fred being angry at George for continuing to fight, contrary to plan, and George being annoying about having lost his arms? And when you're stuck on another planet, tensions can rise easily, I suppose...

[@ShinedPolished]

watch the last episode of starship genius, basically george caused them to crash on trp
