[@Cheezbuckets]

My favourite Starkid audience moment will always have to be naming the mother in Trail To Oregon, as soon as they ask the audience from the name, someone yelling “YO MOMMA” with zero hesitation.

[@ellabanchieri8114]

Cheezbuckets Ikr, I actually suggested it for this video but I think I was too late. Also I think there was multiple people yelling it which makes it 100 times better.

[@burnpygmalion39]

I think my favorite audience reaction is the horror at the part of America’s great again when the crowd realizes what the song is

[@renidere]

Darren screaming “I don’t think so!” is honestly so iconic (Edit): yes guys it was confirmed! When you watch twisted with captions it says Darren said it!

[@tabithahallows6116]

It's like at first they weren't sure if they heard right, like did they really go there?

[@TropicTyrant]

During Show Stoppin' Number you can actually hear someone say "Look at Joey"

[@coolgirl118]

when?

[@TropicTyrant]

@peacelovechocolate I'm not exactly sure but if you go to the actual video just listen carefully :^D

[@theanimeidiot8903]

But you should. It’s probably whenever Professor Hidgens is on the phone with Greg

[@sanityisrelative]

Joey in the background is almost better than the actual performance. He's so into it (well, Ted's so into it, but still).

[@mr_oreoman]

I'm not sure if it was just my imagination making me think that I heard it, but I heard something that sounded somewhat similar at 3:51 on this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKemhqmFds-bhJo

[@checkm8964]

I feel like getting an audience to chant the words “Nazis are not so bad” should definitely be in this video, Ik it’s TCB but I mean... come on

[@beckgh7270]

It was surprisingly muted for a chant, people didn’t even wanna do it for a joke lmao

[@KaylaKasel]

What does TCB stand for again?

[@spacetrashpile7199]

That and “I am Vander Borshtit” *utter silence until one guy cheers* “Thank you!”

[@sofeashabani]

ME I THOUGHT OF THAT SCENE WHEN I SAW THIS THUMBNAIL AND THOUGHT IT WOULD BE INCLUDED

[@CV-Moore]

I honestly think we should keep Starkid videos separate from TCB content.

[@Ray-hk1zm]

When Cornwallis comes on you can hear this desperate laughter of one girl who's reached her breaking point and is now just delirious with how insane everything is and honestly I relate to that girl.

[@pratyushahuddar]

Not exactly related to the video but Jeff's split-personality scene at 2:05 is so good! This scene gives me chills every time I watch it!

[@kijahhunter3320]

[@kaylac7320]

What musical was that?

[@oliviahaglund8978]

Jeff is always best when playing a psychopath; he's talented at pretending madness somehow

[@nofunmercury7611]

Olivia Haglund are we sure he’s pretending?

[@seanmcmurphy4744]

I was wondering: In the KZbin version, the clip shown here, the camera cuts between Jeff playing the two sides of the conversation. I didn’t see the stage version: how did he do it onstage?

[@MsCloudnumber9]

starkid audiences have been, and always will be, the BEST audiences (and of course it's partly to do with the shows themselves!)

[@seanmcmurphy4744]

It’s because in spite of increasing fame Starkid has remained true to itself, a small-time group of friends who do what they do for love of the craft and give away their work for free, they have not sold out and gone Hollywood. Theater troupes get the audiences they deserve.
