Everyone always mentions the "science says you're dead and gone forever" but not many people talk about "cuz after all I must be pretty great, if you believed me" look how beautiful and touching??? I'm in tears ;_;

[@carmellaruss3414]

Literally just the whole song... XD

[@emmaleegrauman2997]

Also at the end the lines "I wish you didn't have to go when our stories just begun" and "then I wish you every happiness" makes me cry literally every time

[@bubblescangame]

They also cut out the lines before that even though they just make the next lines every more heartbreaking

[@meaganpower4175]

Every clip from spies are forever physically hurt me, especially that last one. Man I love that show. Curt and Owen deserved better. Also I agree that was Joey’s best role. You can see how much emotion and feeling both he and Curt put into the show and that finale especially. Ugh I could go on about SAF forever, it’s so good. One of my favorite musicals just in general. Anyways, great video!

[@alildaisy2180]

I agree 200%. AMAZEBALLS writing by the TCB, amazing actors who put _everything_ into that show, and the product was bound to be incredible.

[@albieemery2828]

I personally feel like Joeys best role was Uncle Wiley.

[@_saphrogy_9623]

God, I once went on a big rant about how good the character development for Curt was. There's so much emotion in the climax.

[@emilysnelling845]

I forget a lot that Starkid just went and said “okay so we perfected the comedy musical, what next? A musical that incorporates professional puppetry even though none of us are puppeteers and we’re still college students on a budget? Yeah, that works” and they fucking knocked it out of the park

Facts

[@keikustar]

the thing about SAF that i love is when you watch it the first time and you're like 'oh curt and owen were ABSOLUTELY boyfriends' but you think the show wasn't gunna go there (like all of media wouldn't) but then when they reveal that they DID go there you're like 'tAKE IT BACK'

[@evangelinerose3826]

Right? Like, when I saw the first scene I was like "Oh they are SO gay for each other" then Owen died, my heart shattered bc he was my immediately fav, then I saw Tatiana and I thought "damn. Here we go again." Then they stab me in the heart TWICE.

[@callumtait4793]

"Take it back no no they were in love stopppppppp"

[@sheyannev2757]

Me, knowing full well going into this they were boyfriends: "it's so weird he keeps calling Owen his partner even though they worked for different agencies"

[@ljmarchan146]

There is this video on here that analyzes SAF and puts this show into historical context. It delves into the lavender scare and how it would have affected Kurt and Owen. Super interesting!

i disagree with the comment that Kick It Up a Notch is the best Starkid song. for me it is CLEARLY When I Was I FUCK LOVE THAT SONG!!!!!!!! I agree with the comment that Dylan should be a Broadway star already. and Clark sounds good everywhere and singing anything i also hate you for hiting me with that final clip. and yes anything involving Owen makes me sob like a baby and yes that was Joey's best performance hands down. the vocal improvement he had from A Very Potter Musical to SAF is ASTONDING and I'm so proud of him.
