THE LEGALLY BLONDE REFERENCE

[@alarbu17]

when the ensemble started singing it genuinely scared him

[@tablecloth364]

"looks like somebody has a chip on his shoulder..." lmaooo

[@GUIZZARD]

I'm years late to this comment section but Christian starting to sing before Karey has any time to say anything else is such a power move. It's always fun to revisit the videos of the Something Rotten! Cast because they're so clearly comfortable around each other that they're not afraid to have fun.

[@primahuang9744]

I don't know if he's trying to play Shakespeare as a drunk or if he's actually drunk

[@xXlovestideXx]

Prima Huang the answer is probably “yes” 😂😂

[@tollersis1546]

He played Shakespeare in Something Rotten and his character was like that, like slurring his words together and and acting cocky.

[@maxhasproblems4885]

Both

[@nancybartholomew2604]

​@@tollersis1546

[@mcbishof76]

That’s just his Shakespeare voice

[@Alice-sp5jd]

The girl that shreaked when he came on is a mood

[@slouster26]

The little bop he does as he takes a sip at 3:33 I-

[@No-el4gt]

Shealyn Louster he put out his pinky too lol

[@kerk9795]

Why is he so attractive? ffs

[@alicex8612]

not gonna lie, i watch this daily.

[@citlalliperez5207]

Even drunk his vocals are amazing wtf

[@mrdalliard]

Ok, I transcribed it on my lunch break… A shepherd has a wooden cane he herds with A barber surgeon has his drill and blade But I, my friends, am what you call a wordsmith And the brain is the tool of my trade So I peruse the English Language Beyond Oxford, beyond Cambridge As I drink from my imagination’s cup And if I can’t find the word that I’m looking for I simply make one up Like monumental Like marriage bed Like sanctimonious That’s right, that’s what I said And then there pander And pageantry Those are words you never heard until you heard of me Those are words you never heard if not for me Obsequiously (Spoken) Yeah, that’s a big one It means to ceremoniously be and then some And what is stealthy? And savagery? Those are words you never heard until you heard of me Those are words you never heard if not for me I make it up in my head And then it’s coined Sometimes borrowed But not purloined And I have a lot of fun When I break it down To the adverbs and the adjectives, the predicates and nouns A giant lizard With a crooked smile Have you seen one? (Yeah, a crocodile!) But take the Spanish to the English alligator That’s a word you never heard unless you heard of me That’s a word you never heard if not for me (He’s a genius) (How does he do it?) (He makes it look so easy, like there’s nothing to it) Well, it’s my gift To society All these words you never heard until you heard of me All these words you never heard if not for me (If not for he) I just make it up in my head And then it’s coined Eh, sometimes borrowed But not purloined I have a lot of fun When I break it down To the adverbs and the adjectives, the predicates and nouns Hot blooded Am I obscene? Excuse my swagger That’s right, that’s what I mean Are you bedazzled? Well you should be These are words you never heard until you heard of me These are words you never heard if not for me (If not for he) These are words you never heard until you heard of me These are words you never heard if not for me (If not for he) (Spoken) You’re welcome

[@TheBeatles8678]

Shame this was not in the Musical. Love it. Saw the Musical. So funny. My fave song is " Hard to be the Bard" . So good.

[@teapotman_]

[@maxhasproblems4885]

This man is a gift to society

[@carissadallis94]

Can I sing now?

[@lottemuzieknoot]

look like somebody has a chip on his shoulder...

[@kerk9795]

That's not water

[@opheliaismyname9180]

We're not surprised, Christian, honestly

[@kerk9795]

He did the Tom Levitt voice for the Chicken Run line!!

[@tablecloth364]

this is the most video of all time

[@kalliehennigar8005]

I wish this was in the show

[@miaespinosa2525]

I love EVERYTHING ABOUT T H I S

[@laura19861]

[@JadeTheorist3942]

[@lifewithkids5231]

drunk christian is precious lmao

[@mainemail5506]

1:51 is the start

[@Librarygeek-qd9kp]

I really wanted Christian to say "If WE won then why does it sit on MY mantel?" But he, obviously, has more class than I do. 😇

[@nssquared9174]

I agree. I felt Kirkpatrick was a tad too snarky toward Borle.

[@itsanax8148]

3:31

[@sinijstepler]

Could someone please tell me what happened at 4:07?

[@ren598]

He messed up the words and said "And I was so close to the end.".

[@sinijstepler]

Thanks!

[@kerk9795]

The groan was so British

[@kailanegaldino1430]

Does anyone have this song lyrics?

[@2910karlijn]

haha same can't find it anywhere

[@kerk9795]

I'm stupid but what's the Chicken Run referance? I've seen the movie Chicken Run but is that what Christian's referancing?

[@deeyoyo1]

erin camp Karey Kirkpatrick (guy on the right) co-wrote the script for Chicken Run

[@kerk9795]

deeyoyo1 oh okay. Thx, that's a good movie.

[@Chelsea-sf3bx]

deeyoyo1 ohh

[@viscardi7785]

where can i find this song??? i tried searching on spotify but noth :((((

[@shofstader]

It was cut from the show. This is an excerpt from a cabaret set made up of songs that were cut from “Something Rotten,” during the show’s run on Broadway

[@whizzerfan]

i can’t tell if he’s in character or absolutely plastered
