THings Just Got CRAZY!! - Team StarKid's Black Friday First Time Watching Reaction Part 2!

[@VeggieGamer]

Hi guys! These Starkid Videos get a LOT of fake copyright claims on the songs, but sometimes, there are genuine claims on behalf of Team Starkid Productions. I wouldn't want to remove scenes or mute them, so am happy to leave the revenue going back to the artists, and it certainly doesn't deter me from covering the rest of the musicals! That being said, if you ever wish to support the channel in other ways, feel free to check out the Patreon page, where you can get everything on the for as little as $1!

'Curt Mega, if that Is you real name' You NEED to watch Spies Are Forever😂 And yes, Curt and Kim are married❤

i second that motion ! spies are forever is criminally underrated

Spies are forever is my favourite sk/TCB show

[@fettuccine_anderhummel]

@@lennies_mindful_life Spies Are Forever is my favorite musical period!

[@mymoonkev]

I came to make this comment 😂

[@xpoeticdreamz]

Joeys voice in Spies is one of my favorites and Joe kills me with his accent!! If your a Mel Brooks fan you are gonna love it

[@billsbrothertv5701]

I really do think Becky's monologue is the best writing from the Starkid team, it's that good. Also, the moment they completely turn sinister for that last scene is terrifying, especially when you remember that their characters are a teacher and a nurse, both professions that children are supposed to be able to feel safe around.

[@TabithaCascio]

Hey Veggie! Just to clarify, the character Joey was playing was not the devil, it was Wilbur Cross, the mentor McNamara lost to the Black and White! This character is also Uncle Wiley of Uncle Wiley Toys (the company that produced the wiggly dolls). He was the one that dropped off the box of wigglys to toy zone in the begining.

[@david-jonballinger6638]

I would suggest doing KZbin Live’s for Nightmare Time, that way you can watch them fairly quickly and don’t have to edit!

[@matthewhearn9910]

Opening night was Halloween, so the audience was invited to come in costume. I had caught the Twin Peaks references in The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals, and the way the Langs described the characters made me guess they were going to double down on that in this show, so I went as Dougie Jones from the 2017 revival season of Twin Peaks. The unforeseen consequence was that, because I was wearing essentially a day-glo green jacket, all the light bouncing off the stage area in that small theater made me the most visible person in the audience, so when the performers picked their “anchor” audience members at the beginning of the show (the audience members you pick to look at directly when singing or soliloquizing to the audience in general, to make the performance more personal and authentic) I wound up being one of the picks for like 90% of the cast. Wound up being an unexpectedly emotionally intense show for me as a result and probably my favorite ever live theater experience as an audience member. But yes the Twin Peaks influence on this play in particular is huge. General MacNamara was already Major Briggs coded and they brought it to a new level here, and obviously the Denim on Denim look for Wiley Cross is very Killer BOB. Tom and Becky’s romance feels a lot like Ed and Norma’s, Ethan feels like Bobby Briggs, Linda’s got a lot of Catherine Martell in her. It’s very artfully done.

[@Frogcs]

Kendall Nicole was the youngest starkid by far, she was 13 at the time the show was performed. From this show Jeff Blim is the oldest, at the time being 35 at the time. There will be a story involving Lex and Hannah in NMT season 2, but Kendall is not in it because she decided to focus on school. Hope you enjoy the NMT series because it's so much but it's so awesome and so much loreee!!!

[@twist_ending7545]

There is a Hannah focused story in NMT 1

[@Frogcs]

@@twist_ending7545 I know, I just mentioned the one in season 2 because she is not in it. You can look forward to seeing her one more time though indeed, she is awesome (esp for me because she's the same age as me and has accomplished so much!) Also she got into starkid via Curt, who is a voice coach iirc? They were looking for a younger actor for this show and Curt recommended her and here we are!

[@murdomaclachlan]

The idiom "separate the wheat from the chaff" comes from grain farming. Chaff is the inedible part of a grain plant, which you separate from the edible part; so you separate the chaff (the "worthless" part) from the wheat (the valuable part).

[@Meg-Meg-Meg]

Pretty sure it’s also a biblical metaphor about what god is supposed to do when he returns to earth, separate his faithful followers from unbelievers, which is exactly what they were saying was going to happen when Wiggly comes. I love the use of biblical/god metaphors in this show! Very apocalyptically creepy!

[@koalarm]

Veggie, have you worked out who is doing Wiggly's voice yet? You'll meet Gerald properly in Nightmare Time. Along with a bunch of old favourites and some amazing new characters. I do love Kim's creepy lullaby. And yes, James was doing an Obama impression.

[@nuffyj8614]

You rolled with the Act 2 opening better than any other reactor I've seen. Most people immediately wonder what the heck is happening. I enjoyed watching the desperate notes for all the new information being dumped...that was completely meaningless. Lol

[@hayamihinata4135]

I always forget how awesome Joey is in this musical until I see it again.

[@15two]

iirc hatchetfield is on an island in a lake in michigan. hence why tgwdlm was initially contained to just hatchetfield, its more or less an isolated community

[@tinywitchfrogs_]

The man who talks to Linda is the same man who delivers the dolls to Toy Zone ! and also says some ominous things to Frank (rip), feels pretty implied by this point he's Uncle Wiley himself (minus the beard)

[@yeshevishman]

Well...who he ACTUALLY is gets somewhat implied in the show...

[@somedudewatchintv5297]

​@@yeshevishmanwait was he not Uncle Wiley?

[@yeshevishman]

@@somedudewatchintv5297 Yes...but who IS Uncle Wiley?

[@SpaceDustMantis]

i cannot wait for you to get to the title number. i cried a river the first time i watched that part

[@WJones-nq4cv]

Hey Veggie, I believe it's supposed to be based in the Midwest/Michigan area since the Lang Brothers (the writers) are from that area and just like much of the Starkid Alumni are all University of Michigan graduates

[@twist_ending7545]

Correct! I believe Hatchetfield Island is on Lake Michigan

[@yeshevishman]

​@@twist_ending7545Nick Lang has stated that IF it were anywhere, it would be.

the show where we hear the president but don't see him was holy musical batman! not tgwdlm

Just a head up Veggie that Cinderella doesn’t come out at Christmas. It’s likely gonna be at least half a year before the pro shot comes out. They normally release they pro shots a year after the shows are out

[@VeggieGamer]

Oooh, that makes complete sense! Thanks, David!

[@1LilSpark]

They said early 2025 for Cinderella (selfishly want the pro shot/soundtrack out by late February so I can add the songs to my running playlist)

Ooh yay, I’m glad you’re gonna do nightmare time reactions! Not a ton out there, and I like hearing other people’s thoughts and theories

[@jacobmorejead8122]

May be controversial but musically / vocally I think Take Me Back is Starkid's best song

[@xpoeticdreamz]

In case you didn’t know, Jon (Paul) does wiggles voice

[@Mogu-uz1jj]

'My mentor, Wilbur Cross stepped through that portal and came out a raving lunatic. He pledged his undying loyalty to the forces within and disapperared soon after.' The person who came to Linda said 'I was a Colonel once', and he also had the same phrase 'hello naughty list' as the seller who came to Frank's shop with the Wiggly's shipment. And the toys are Uncle Wiley's toys.🙃 Almost all Joey's characters in this (except the Homeless Guy and the Cineplex kid) are the same person.

[@fightingfaerie]

Dude. Spoiler. Yes you could put it together but they don’t reveal that until later.

[@sk3ru]

​@@fightingfaerie i thought this was pretty obvious since John tells us about Cross? Like "Wiley" and "Wilbur" played by the same person when we know both are in the military

[@xpoeticdreamz]

Take me back may be my favorite performed StarKid song. Kim and Dylan’s voice just blends so well together!

[@kilian-one-l]

The guy with Linda is the same guy who delivered the dolls -> "Hello naughty list" + Canadian tuxedo

[@david-jonballinger6638]

I’m not sure many of us Brits would understand Canadian Tuxedo as a phrase haha

[@Rainydreams00]

So glad you're watching Nightmare Time first! I can't wait!

[@kristupas_]

About presidents in Starkid musicals, I think you are thinking about Holy Musical B@man. There was scene with Obama.

[@TheLoonyLovebad1]

Hatchetfield is in Michigan (where Starkid started), they released a map awhile back showing the island

[@kinoate]

Glad you're doing Nightmare Time before Nerdy Prudes Must Die. It's very much worth it

[@matthewhearn9910]

If you’re going to see Fire Walk With Me you do have to finish the second season of Twin Peaks. But trust me it’s worth it - the last episode of Season 2 is one of the strangest and best episodes of television ever, and 2017’s season 3 is in its entirety the wildest and most artistic thing anyone has ever put on television.

[@aslerhypak5348]

Awww i have to go to bed, but im gonna watch this in its entirety first. i can go to school tired 👍

[@VeggieGamer]

Haha, the video can wait! XD Hope you have a great day!

PLEASE UPLOAD THE NEXT PART SOON IM BEGGING

[@adriannabaranowska7039]

I'd say that the biggest present for me was a rocking horse 🐎 I was asking for it for several years and when I was 12 I got a big, black rocking horse ❤ it's rn in the attic of my parents, it'll be passed to my children in the future 😊

[@YouLookSoGoodInGreen]

Thank you dear veggie man for agreeing to nightmare time 🙌🙌🙌 to watch them in the correct order nightmare time season one and two are before nerdy prudes must die. PLEASE!!!! Do not watch npmd before nightmare time. That would be the worst sin you could commit lmao. It is not worth it. That is exactly like watching black friday before the guy who didn't like musicals. Different storyline but same amount of cameos you'll miss and lore you'll miss. Honestly it is more of a crime to do npmd before nt than it is to do bf before tgwdlm. Imo nightmare time is my favorite part of the hatchetfield series but apparently somehow that is unpopular of an opinion???? But anyways yes absolutely react to musicals in between the episodes of nightmare time but just not nerdy prudes must die PLEASE!!

[@rowangoodwin9273]

4:59 before I got into videogames and consoles, iPads, etc., I really wanted the D. Rex toy dinosaur and any other dinosaurs that that company made because they were so cool. Got it and immediately broke a plate (BY ACCIDENT) when I played with it on the table and it pushed a plate off. Good times lol. But also I was hugely into How To Train Your Dragon and I wanted all of the action figures and plushes. The original stuff was so cool and so well designed, I'm so sad the quality went down with each movie that came out.

[@melainatar]

Hey, Veggie, if you want to know more about Curt Mega, you should totally check next Tin Can Bros's Spies Are Forever... where he plays a character named Curt Mega. XD

[@rlvids9889]

I fucking love Gerald

[@kilian-one-l]

lmao have you not watched many Christmas movies? Chris Kringle is Santa, always

[@david-jonballinger6638]

To be fair that is an American movie thing. We don’t really refer to him as Chris Cringle over here. Only Father Christmas or Santa Claus 😊

[@veronikahrovat4136]

Nightmare time is ok, but I think it would be more worth it to watch the other big musicals - the trail to oregon, spies are forever... otherwise we'll have to wait years for them and I really wanna see them.

[@VeggieGamer]

Very good point, Veronika! When we do Nightmare times, we will definitely have the older musicals in-between! I know a lot of you are waiting on those!

[@david-jonballinger6638]

Nightmare Time episodes are great! Especially the Second Season!

[@veronikahrovat4136]

@@VeggieGamer omg thanks for the reply! your reactions are just the best.

[@szkraft220]

id say if youre into the world then they are just as worth it as the big musicals! the narration is actually suprisingly immersive, despite the often lacking visual presentation

[@kinoate]

​@@szkraft220 season 2 of Nightmare Time definitely upd the production value And for what it's worth they do have costumes and props to some small degree

[@aidancurry218]

Glad you’ll be seeing the Nightmare Times, but since it’s so long, and you don’t need the context from them for Nerdy Prudes Must Die, can you react to NPMD first? It’s a much stronger narrative and imo and I don’t think it’s worth breaking up the trilogy as opposed to coming back after.

[@1LilSpark]

There is definitely one part of prudes that hits different if you’ve seen nightmare time first 💙💜💛🩷💚

[@aidancurry218]

Oh right. Never mind then. I retract it as a blanket statement. But maybe we should compile a list for before and a list for after, based on what pieces improve the understanding of NPMD.

[@targor9649]

Or just watch them in order and then nerdy prudes. That’s the intended way and it’s also the best way to watch them in my opinion. Don’t overthink it. Let prudes be the big finale.

[@david-jonballinger6638]

As I suggested in another comment Veggie could livestream episode (maybe a few at a time) on KZbin. Then no editing is needed

[@YouLookSoGoodInGreen]

NO GOD PLEASE NO
