Darren: “Those are my buns, I baked them myself.” *Close up* Darren: “Oh yeah, let’s get in there.”

[@blairelliott]

I love Darren for this so much. I'm thrilled Ryan was able to utilize the fantastic shape that he was in post-Hedwig for those scenes.

No, actually your mom cooked that for you.

It's the fact that he repeats it a couple of times to get the laughs he wants. Like 'no, that didn't land how I wanted it to. I'm going to keep saying it til you ALL laugh.' He's such a goof.

[@tayloranderson8868]

Lol when he kept talking about his butt when they showed the pictures and kept saying ‘I baked those myself’ Ellen seemed so uncomfortable. Lmao I love Darren Criss so much

[@Lupin788]

Taylor Anderson Nah, Ellen's not uncomfortable at all. It's just her shtick. She is known for doing this sort of thing with her male guests - showing pictures and screenshots of them naked or shirtless.

[@briisawhoreheckyeah7706]

What if Ellen was hitting on Darren the whole time!😊

Nice to see someone make Ellen uncomfortable for once when that’s what she is constantly doing

I can already picture Darren criss as the Flash!

[@shannonravenclaw2195]

We don’t prefer Gandalf, Merlin, or Oz. You’re a whole lot hotter!

[@torchsilke8595]

I LOVE those green eyes of his but in certain scenes, especially holding his hand over his mother's mouth..NO! THIS CAN'T BE DARREN CRISS! Just as Ellen said "you can't trust anyone..so scary" (I know that is not verbatim) but dang, if Darren doesn't get an EMMY NOMINATION AND THE WIN? GAH!!!!! I kept having bad dreams, sleepless nights after binging the series. I worked at The Fontaine bleau Hotel and that very same houseboat was there back in the mid 1970s! I also was surprised to learn both Darren Criss and Andrew Cunanan are half Filipino. I don't know if in the last episode a photo of Darren was used or Andrew but gave me the chills! To see the betrayal of Andrew's dad in an interview talking of movie rights after Andrew had been promised in a phone call to his dad in the Philippines he'd come and help his son, I guess I'd have shot the tv too. Darren played that scene so dang well that it made me feel a bit sorry for Andrew's getting so lost. I'd not expected him to shoot himself but finally give up. I better hear Darren Criss' acceptance speech on Emmy Award's night. To be so loyal, humble is so very rare. I hope he and his now fiance stay together for the next 50+ years.

[@cateyes3813]

Torch Silke What was that about his father yapping about movie rights? IRL? That’s what his father did/said? He didn’t want to come and see his son, I’m gathering? I’ve not researched AC yet because I haven’t finished the series but yeah, I was definitely wondering what kind of people his parents were and if it had anything to do with that or nothing at all.

[@cateyes3813]

Torch Silke btw, doesn’t DC have extremely brown eyes?

[@briisawhoreheckyeah7706]

Do y'all think Ellen is hitting on Darren through the whole time?😉
