I never really like Ron in the books or movies growing up. He just never struck me as somebody I would like in real life. But I adore Ron the way Joey depicts him. He's still JK Rowling's Ron, but he's also a better person with a better heart and a more animated and memorable personality.

[@thetrashinyourbasement7898]

Same. I honestly just don’t like Ron in the books and movies

[@befaany]

(This is my opinion) Ron is an amazing friend and if you want all the details I will give them to you and the movies decided to show him as just comic relief and a terrible friend. I love how Joey plays him and especially in this musical, it shows how great Ron is. So many people dislike him and it infuriates me. They only look at the bad parts of him like when he was jealous of Harry during the fourth book even tho the real reasons for it was that he felt betrayed that Harry may not have been as loyal to Ron as he was to Harry.

[@sk70091]

Joey's Ron is closer to the book Ron than the movie Ron. That's what I love about him. The movies did Ron so dirty.

[@DanJuega]

@@befaany Give the deets

[@srehh5529]

Ironically I love Ron in the books and Joey's Ron is the only one that fits my impression of book Ron -except he isn't an ass to Hermione and Ginny as a running gag. The movies and other forms of media portray him like a wimpy pathetic loser with an unanimated personality. I personally can't imagine how this Ron has a more animated and memorable personality because this is just exactly how he is in the books to me. Also everyone's pretty much a jerk in this musical because it's a comedy, so I don't see how this Ron is more good-hearted with the constant Hermione and Ginny jokes.

[@miatyae5447]

"My wand can barely work and my car won't start," - my favourite line. oh, wait. then there's "I was a stupid dufus but now that's gone," oh but then there's "AM I THE ONE WHO TAKES YOU HOME? -DEFINITELY NOT" Ron is the cutest.

[@hermannn5682]

you forgot "am i almost done? no i'm not"

[@missameliapond11]

Joey: "Am I the hottest?" Me: YES YOU ARE JOEY DON'T YOU DARE DOUBT YOURSELF

[@haley8254]

“If I was in a dinner I would surely be the less prominent taste” that’s such a Ron thing to say I love it

[@StarKidWannaBe]

"But am I the one who takes you home? Definetly not!" Dear Joey, I beg to differ.

[@kelskitchen3673]

This song always reminds me of just how far Joey's come since that first show

[@hermannn5682]

he looks different too. i thought it was somebody else for awhile when i first saw it lol

[@MegaZedonk]

so we have the sidekick and the coolest girl....

[@kaeverina_]

We also have Harry Freakin Potter

[@mydarkstrangeson2691]

To have a home to

[@thebooklife7271]

I know all of the characters and plots and stuff are so twisted and exaggerated in these musicals, but I feel like this song encompasses Ron Weasley so much. :')

[@korigarber3641]

I especially like the "twisted" pun that might not have been meant to be a pun

[@lukeemerson3278]

“I forget about all the things I’m not.” Proceeds to name what he is not.

[@izzythompson4961]

hahaha

[@MrCharles422]

His vocal skills have improved SO much since AVPM, and his range has grown by miles!

[@Benji767]

Yes, watch made in america from black friday

[@ChillyRilly]

This song was, by far, my favorite in this one.

[@orls216]

ChillyRilly finally someone agrees with me!!!

[@lilybaxter9454]

I 100% agree

[@maggiemccoywilliamson9357]

This is the cutest song ever, no tea, no shade. Just facts.

[@Fangoddess]

IS IT BAD THAT THE BEGINNING AWLWAYS MAKES ME CRY OHMYGODS JOEY

[@joanbernsten3960]

It's not fair It's not fair I didn't know I wasn't there It's not fair It's not fair Seeing you Lying there I wasn't strong enough To save you from the evil stuff I wasn't smart like you To do what you would do I know I'm not a leading man I know I'm not a star but I know what makes me special Is what I feel in my heart I'm just a sidekick But I love Being at your side I've been in the shadows for far too long But I'm the leading man of this song I was a stupid doofus but now that's gone I'm ready for a change Gonna keep calm and carry on I know I'm not a pretty boy, but I'm a man I'll find a way to save ya, baby, yes I can Don't confuse the way I was with the way I am I'm ready for a change Gonna take a stand I'm just a sidekick Oh yes, I'm just a sidekick Oh yeah, I'm just a sidekick But I love being at your side I'm always forgotten Always come in second place I'll never be a front man No one can remember my face If I was in a dinner I would surely be the less prominent taste But when I think of how I feel for you And the love I have inside I forget about all the things I'm not And my heart swells up with pride Am I the strongest? No, I'm not Am I the smartest? No, I'm not Am I the hottest? No, I'm not But am I the greatest? No, I'm not Am I the hero? No, I'm not Am I the one who steals the show? No, I'm not Am I the one who you should know? No, I'm not But am I the one who takes you home? Definitely not! Am I the Chosen One? No, I'm not Am I the prodigal son? No, I'm not Am I almost done? No, I'm not But I'm the one who's gonna love you with All of his heart because That's what I've got I'm the one who's gonna love you with All of his heart because That's what I've got I'm not a great athlete, I'm no good at art And I know my brain is not my most impressive part My wand can barely work and my car won't start but I know what makes me special's what I feel in my heart I'm just a sidekick Oh yes, I'm just a sidekick Oh yeah, I'm just a sidekick But I love I love I love Being at your side

[@sammyelliott_]

"Am I nearly done? No I'm not!"

[@sirarthurconandoyle523]

I just read this when the moment was passing

[@Fitz97forpresident]

God, this song is supposed to be heartfelt and sad, and it is, but it's also one of the funniest songs in the show. (Tied with "Get in my Mouth. Because Jeff Blim rocked that too.)

[@heloisedugas32]

The Ron we deserved

[@sk70091]

YES. Take notes, Steve Kloves!

[@cherrydelight649]

[@werwiewas]

WEASLEY IS OUR KING

[@NYlife1022]

i dont know who i love more darren or this dork.

[@Kerriangel]

This song is perfect for Rory in Doctor Who

[@sassylittleprophet]

1000%

[@amorpotterhead]

The best song ever! The voice thar he do when he sing "I'm just a sidekick but I Love I love i loove being at your side" it's really perfect!!!

[@sassylittleprophet]

This is like the anthem for all sidekicks in media. They're not the main character, the chosen one, the smart one, or the hot one -- but they're always there for you, they love with their whole heart, and they put everything on the line time and time again for the ones they love. Honestly, being "special" is overrated. I aspire to have the heart of a sidekick.

[@expectopatronum3889]

I love this. :') Joey Richter is supermegafoxyawesomehot ! ♥

[@TJDisneyCheerleader]

could starkid have their own tv show please?

[@thatonepersonyouwontremember]

When I sing this song, instead of saying "No I'm not" I say "Yes you are" Edit: Besides the song almost being over of course

[@sk70091]

Same. Well, except for this: "Am I the one who takes you home?" Me: UNFORTUNATELY NOT

[@alexthestarkid6854]

Joey is an angel...

[@oaklander2991]

2:34, you’re welcome.

[@comet8956]

joey’s growth from this to spies are forever and black friday? DAMN (this was already good but jesus)

[@haley8254]

i love how this song perfectly encompasses ron

[@CharliieCullen151]

This, Get In My Mouth and I Was, have to be the best tracks of AVPSY

[@sage5530]

just came here from everything ends. joey richter is soothing me from my tears

[@Aly-ym9yi]

I will never not be obsessed with a Joey song

[@sophiylylovesyou]

joeys good at listening to his heart :)

[@belladonnakisses131]

i remember listening to this song years ago and relating to ron in this song a bit too hard, but i came back to it today and realized that i don't anymore, in a good way. like, i went from seeing myself as others' sub-par sidekick to being able to perceive myself as my own person, less reliant on a "leading character" yk what i mean? i wanted to share this here, in the case that anyone listening is in the same position i was. you are 100% your own human being, you do not need to base your worth on those around you i promise. i hope y'all are able to realize that :)

[@broadwaygoat7687]

Why did Starkid capture the character of Ron better than the movies! Don't get me wrong, I adore the movies, but they really overlooked Ron as a character and more so used him as comic relief.

[@4BloodredApple4]

I never knew how good of a singer he actually was. #stillcrying

[@HilaryLudkin-Finnie]

and now he's even better!!

[@em5522]

I don't think I could appreciate and adore this song coming from anyone as much as I do hearing it from Joey.

[@dumblebee9167]

Ron is the greatest though???

[@finch4309]

this song. i love. 10/10.

[@GoldMusicHits]

the intro of the song.... I keep repeating it wow. AMAZING

[@adriannajagodzinski4145]

this song is so good

[@xannax14x]

UGH JOEY I LOVE YOU.

[@cervanera2228]

When I first heard this song I wanted to feel sorry for Ron, but I can't because of the face of petrified Hermione. She made me laugh! Thanks, Hermione!

[@colemoore5007]

2:34 my life story

[@sirarthurconandoyle523]

[@MrsCodieRodriguez]

Of course, he can never be a leading man with that jaw of his...

[@megang5906]

incORRECT

[@styroslug]

Is it wrong to be obsessed with him? Like to the point that my cousin didn't like him, so I punch her? Is that too much..?
