[@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.

[@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?

[@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

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.
