Twisted Act 2 Part 1

[@seopark7467]

'those are stretch marks. They happen." OMFG

[@trickster6272]

Honestly probably the best part of the entire show other than when he sings, "he fucked a tiger". That was freaking amazing as well

[@espinoza1546]

HE fUckEd A TIger

[@EmmaLouise229]

"Never more will they mock you Achmeeeedddd." "Robert: "He fucked a tiger" That. That my friends is the best line in the whole play. Actually a lot of Robert's lines were my favorites.

[@BittyTatFattyCat]

When he said that, the audience in the front row were couldn't contain themselves. It made it that much funnier for me lol

[@tatianagois4865]

Also gems from this play from Robert include Demonic furniture Those are stretch marks they happen No matter why you will always be a prince to me To me that doesn't seem..... entirely healthy A wolf bear thing And my personal favourite A buffalo monster..... IN A CAPE!!!!!

[@onlookerofthings6029]

My favorite is Rachael: "Unlike Aladdin, he had a family who loved him!" Jim: "Yes" Robert: "Exactly..."

[@someotherworldlybeing3167]

“Okay Jesus Christ I don’t know what’s going on here” And The entirety of the they’ll remember achmed chorus

It wasn't mockery, it was praise

[@kufufunocosplay]

I ship Prince Achmed and Robert's guard character. Robert would hold him when he came back from war and console him about his stretch marks.

[@aestaarea]

(Cough cough *firebringer* cough cough) (No hate on Firebringer it’s an awesome musical but Lauren doesn’t play a man in it)

[@solarprogeny6736]

@@aestaarea Firebringer gets a pass because there are no gender roles (women can lead, men can be in the kitchen, all types of relationships are valid) so Lauren doesn't have to play a man, whereas in other shows like Twisted, it just makes more sense with the context (guards=male in the middle east)

[@RonHeartsMe]

Slightly disappointed that every comment on this part is not just saying the stretch marks line. That was literally the funniest part in the whole musical for me...just his delivery of the line was absolutely perfect and I crack up every time.

[@myxxnamexxis13]

I agree, that was one of my biggest laughs from any Starkid production.

[@LovelyGould]

They'll remember Achmed, the tiger fucking man!

[@clareann8912]

That would be a perfect shot fore Roberts acting reel, but he can’t use it because the guy filming had his hands on the lens for some reason.

[@val8869]

RonHeartsMe rob’s delivery is always so unexpected but perfect?? Like if anyone else saw that line, they would never say it like that, but he makes it work he’s just so talented

[@maddydraffen535]

“His arm is all fucked up and now he can’t come with me to CoWBoY CAmP!” Is one of the best damn references in the musical.

[@cattanimationz6524]

Half as much as they do on Converse

More than what they spent on AVPM’s budget

[@RatKingShriggy]

literally every single line robert delivers in this is so good "i see the back of your balls" "no matter what... you will always be a prince to me" "those are stretch-marks, they happen" "he fUCKeD A TIGER"

[@xChaseTheWind]

It's amazing to see Robert Manion in this, the react he has gotten from everyone and his talent to not even be a "main" character and still have people notice him and praise his great delivery of lines, it just shows the huge potential he has :') I have no doubt that one day we will see him starring a Starkid musical and everyone will look back on Twisted and see how much he's grown c: Also, tiger fucker has to be the best Starkid joke ever, and considering the immortal AVPM/S jokes... that's saying alot! xD I just love Twisted so much, it makes me so proud of these guys and so excited to see what comes in the future for them ^^

So this is like a hidden commentary on the drama with the 2D Disney department and Pixar? Well shit, If I was a successful animator and a bunch of talented kids made a whole subplot and some musical numbers about me saying how I could please 60 concubines in an hour. I'd be flattered personally. lol

[@QLH7156]

That's the thing with Starkid as I'm sure you know ; ]. Most of their plays have some underlying subplot commenting on something real. Usually it's more than one thing, this is just a very extended one.

[@maynardkeays2118]

Well 60 concubines and one tiger.

[@heatherrockwell9012]

I love the whole show, but this song in particular never fails to crack me up. And I'm not sure if it was improvised or not, but I love when Joe laughs and says "I'm still mad at you guys". You can see how much fun they're having.

[@CorticalCirclet]

OMG, thank you! I was trying to figure out what Joe was saying during the kick-line, and "I'm still mad at you guys" was the main missing piece I couldn't make any sense of. And, aside from the satisfaction of dispelling the mystery...I like that line. It adds some depth to the way the Prince relates to his troops and to the "tigerfucker" title. Like, he still doesn't appreciate the false claim, and he's still a narcissistic, genocidal manchild...but he's also willing to play along with his soldiers sometimes on their own level, and get drawn into some genuine camaraderie with them. I mean, that would make sense as both a cause and an effect of the obvious loyalty and adoration they hold for him. It's all quite cute to me, in this fictional context.
