Hey react Carnival Row Prime Videos.

[@captainteeko4579]

The guy who plays benji is a Broadway singer so he better be good 😂

[@hulda608]

I love you so much guys🎉🎉🎉🎉😊

[@najhiahhall7080]

Did you guys know that you should definitely watch❤ "DEAR EVAN HANSEN"❤ it has Benji in it and his singing voice is phenomenal🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@ulricaandrae4381]

You should start to react to the first couple of seasons of Glee if you haven’t already seen them 😃

[@byanncalorraine7574]

fun fact: the Green Bay packers were asked to be in this movie bc they apparently loved the first one and could do the Bella's ending performance front to back!

[@lills-jg8px]

they asked to be in the movie actually and the producers said they could only be part of the movie if they take it seriously so they did 🤘🏼

[@tayshardae]

A great Hailey Steinfeld movie is The Edge of Seventeen! You guys should check it out

[@user-wo3yd5ke4s]

You mean beginning to end

[@SaltyJennC]

Fun fact: Cynthia Rose (Ester Dean) is an incredible songwriter. She wrote several songs for Rihanna (rude boy one of them) Firework for Katy Perry, Super Bass for Nicki Minaj.

[@abcmadsy]

And S&M!(rihanna)

[@1234thisistemporary]

@@abcmadsy her original version is so good too!

[@happyhour1989]

omg didn't know this, ty for this 🤍

[@NoxNovak]

Super Bass wasn't written by Nicki? Man, that's the only song I genuinely like from her :(

[@shayasims]

@@NoxNovak the chorus was by ester, the verses are nicki lol

[@mysterie3575]

“oooo it’s the guy from big time rush” THE SCREAM I LET OUT😭😭😭

[@n.q1158]

As a German I always find it hilarious how they named the group "Das Sound Machine" which is obvs designed to sound German but does not use the actual German words except for the article and that article is not even the correct gender (Maschine is feminine so it would be "die" not "das"), I mean it's on purpose I'm sure but it's just funny to me how they managed to create the most ungerman germansounding thing possible xD

[@marslara]

I just assumed it was Das because I think that's an audio company. Like they make speakers

[@n.q1158]

@@marslara I think there might be one called DAS yeah (is that an abbreviation for smth btw?), never connected it bc of the caps but it could be a reference I guess. Interesting

[@marslara]

@@n.q1158 No idea I just remember seeing the speakers before.

[@user-oo7dw4qw4b]

So it's worse than Lady Gaga speaking "gibberish German" in Schiße? Hahahahaha🤣

[@JoleneDaviesITKWJ]

The most ungerman German sounding thing is the best 😆 🤣

[@TalH-G]

one of my pitch perfect fun facts is that the footage of the obamas is actually from when anna kendrick was performing. i think it's pretty cool that it was actually one of the cast members at least.

[@joshuacoldwater]

Fun Fact: Sia wrote the song Flashlight for this film so it could be sung by Hailee and then released professionally by Jessie J

[@Tranitosaur]

I actually like that the Treblemakers weren't too in this. They were the main rival in the first movie. I think they did their part as it should focus more on the Bellas than them.

[@ebs1018]

yeh their little comments about DSM were so triggering

[@mckenzie.latham91]

Also the Bella's and treblemakers kind of made peace at the end of the first film Even Bumper seemed to chill a bit inbetween films

[@songforcarol]

A good movie that you guys could watch is "The Edge Of Seventeen", it has Hailee Steinfield in it :)

[@amorypaz7983]

It's so good!!!

[@mugler_angel]

Literally love that movie

[@panamasunlight]

one of my favorite movies

[@aubreesellers318]

One of my favorite crying movies lol

[@songforcarol]

@@aubreesellers318 sameee I always cry watching it lol

[@Cat-vr5ss]

Benji was handing out all the flashlights to the audience that's why they all had one. That's why Jessi said "where have you been dude?"

[@xoxoHaileyJade]

omg what I NEVER KNEW THAT

[@Cat-vr5ss]

@@xoxoHaileyJadeI only picked up on it after watching a few times 🤣

[@WhoDoYouKnow03]

Its wild. When the movie came out, people LOVED DSM's performances. Weird seeing two of you not like them haha

[@that.ll_do_pig]

Well, there's lots of people out there. Lol I don't know what the percentage is but I certainly wasn't one that liked it. Not my kind of music. 🙃

[@jch6809]

@@that.ll_do_pig same I always skip their songs on the soundtrack 😂

[@HickoryDickory86]

I watched in theaters (if I remember correctly) and I never liked DSM's performances. It's the exaggerated German accents in the singing and their whole aesthetic for me.

[@aname.3839]

oh I thought it was good 🤷‍♂

[@sexylexy178]

Yeah people did like their performances​@@aname.3839

[@qiaofan11]

best part of these pitch perfect reactions is listening to Zuff and Rob battle it out with their own acapella performances 😂😂

[@mariakal605]

I think seeing the 2nd movie in theaters makes a big difference - there was just something really special about seeing the final performance on a big screen! When the lights went on and all the legacy Bellas came into the shot I remember a lot of people in the theater gasping. That experience alone made me love the song haha

[@AliceTheChaosWitch]

omg just reading this gave me chills and made me tear up you're so lucky you got that experience!! I cried the first few times I saw this scene anyway and I only saw it on my tv hahahaha

[@shineforevercommentary8193]

I came out of the theater bawling! I had chills for that finale

[@stevievaughan5096]

i used to watch this movie over and over again on summer breaks and i would always cry at the end performance so i couldnt even imagine seeing it in theatres

[@SpontaneousAndStructured]

I think it's cool that in the first movie, the Seniors began the performance and it ended with Beca, like they were passing the torch. They did the same in the second movie with the final performance starting with Beca and ending with Emily.

[@kaylaturner4095]

I think the third has the essence of the first one, but the plot does go crazy. That’s why I like it though, I love how random and ridiculous their humor is. Hopefully we get another aca-Reel Time moment in that reaction 👀😜

[@JohnGundy]

0:53 not even a minute in & yall are securing the like 😂

[@cotevallejos7230]

I’m laughing so hard with those 10 seconds 🤣🤣🤣

[@keisha1420]

I’m in tears😂😂😂

[@missblue1617]

The guys singing "cups" just made my day. Great reaction as always

[@ushijimawakatoshi1429]

I realized on both finale performances, they added the "Make up" song for the couples. Like they added Becca and Jesse's "Don't You (Forget about me)" (the theme song on the movie they watched on their movie date). And Fat Amy and Bumpers "We Belong"

[@aagold76]

fun fact about Benji- aka Ben Platt- he won a Tony for Best Actor in a Musical- 'Dear Evan Hansen'. When he left the show, the actor who took over for his was Noah Galvin... the 2 became friends and started to date. They got married last year. Gay actors CAN play straight!

[@barnyardchick4equestrian19]

You guys singing the cup song together actually sounds so good oml

[@catixporterinks9343]

one of my fav musical : Burlesque, with Christina Aguilera and Cher! and also... Mamma Mia, iconic! but Pitch Perfect is also in my top 3!!

[@marjalap793]

OMG!!! Pentatonix was huge on KZbin??? Man they are one of the best acapella group there is atm!! They got concerts all over the world and miljons of fans...

[@tali2365]

Ya thats how they got discovered

[@purpleir]

The holy aca trinity Pentatonix Homefree Voiceplay

[@heidos7]

I'm seeing them in Iceland this June!

[@Simplenotion]

@@tali2365 kind of ...they won a huge acapella competition on TV "the sing-off"...they got huge on KZbin after that...especially because of Scott/Mitchs Superfruit

[@tsunsu]

I think thir still pretty popular and quite active

[@IndieCindy3]

I haven't seen this movie since it was released, and at the time I remember thinking I liked it more than the first. Like Rob, though, I take it back (lol). The original is better. And by the way, Zuff, some people (myself included) use the word "weirdo" as a term of endearment, not an insult. We are all weird in our own way(s); it's partly what makes us unique. "The more you embrace the weird crazy things about you, the more you find your tribe."

[@nixoeph]

Zuff has such endearing reactions 😭

[@hairhavenn]

Dude in the blue can really sing.

[@perfectkismet]

"That a capella group that was on KZbin a few years ago" 🤣 Pentatonix are still on KZbin, y'all, with 20 million subscribers and over 5 billion views. 3 Grammys. Their 2021 Christmas tour was one of the top ten grossing in the world and they got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last month. I'm impressed you recognized them, though 😅 I'm not positive, but I feel like the Obama footage was from them at an actual Kennedy Awards. I know he went to the Kennedy Awards honoring Tom Hanks around then... because Pentatonix performed and afterwards they were invited to perform at the White House.

[@-_--rj3tl]

why did they actually harmonize 24:21

[@simwin4494]

the beginning was so chaotic😂 haha love it

[@lex16081]

36:06 zuff: what's a blowey? bryce: look it up on google..🙂 🤣🤣🤣

[@sanne1261]

it's so interesting that you didn't like DSM at all because I personally LOVED their performances. But thats probably because they sang Fall Out Boy

[@nivinealarab]

There’s this movie called “the edge of seventeen” starring hailee steinfield i think it would be a fun movie to react to in future video! Love your videos guys❤️

[@nakynie463]

Seeing you guys enjoy these childhood movies and honestly just having fun- I’m so happy to rewatch these with you!

[@entrcpy]

“Shark in the water”?! Do I have a Degrassi head, PA friend?!

[@luisa_sews]

As a German, I remember being so mad that they chose to name the German group "Das Sound-Machine" when it clearly has to be "Die Sound-Machine" because machine is a feminine noun in German, so their name just sounds incredibly stupid to me and I can't get over it XD

[@marslara]

I assumed it was DAS because isn't that an audio company or something. I think they make speakers

[@xapokalypse]

​@@marslara probably because Americans would know that word and associate it with Germany because of the "Das Auto" car advertisement

[@EdgarX007]

Haha the harmony during cups song got me laughing cuz it was pretty good 😂🎉

[@Mdg20_]

The third one is outrageous, go into it with an open mind and 0 expectations😂😂

[@raeesahjanuary5017]

You guys should watch the edge of seventeen with hailee steinfeld I'm sure you'll like it and I'd really like to see your reactions to it

[@ganjathecat]

100k!!! Congratulations guys! Well deserved. I always look forward to your reactions.

[@tialily4439]

personally my faves are 1, 3, 2. i just think the third one had that same energy with the songs in the first one like i had more fun with the performances than i did with the second. also to point out which movie y'all watched on the channel with david cross (the guy who held the underground showdown), it was she's the man! he played the principal :)

[@amymoquin8636]

Zuff reminds me of my mom whenever we watch a movie. Anyone who comes on screen, she'll say "Oh, that's. . ." and it's always a swing and a miss.😂

[@LorraineVirginie]

I love seeing y’all react to stuff that a lot of guys don’t do reactions too. Thanks for the great content!

[@winxyloo]

zuff is so funny 😭

[@mondler107]

Omg the car show performance from Das Sound Machine gives me chills every time. Will never forget my first time seeing it in the theatre

I absolutely lost it when he asked if that was the guy from big time rush 😭😂💕

[@JazMegan]

I was the same as Rob, I thought I liked the 2nd one more but having re watched it with you guys, I definitely prefer the 1st one, for me it really is missing The Treblemakers too

[@amelialupetea]

YES haha I was checking to see if y’all posted this yet and then I got the notification for it

[@alexavmtz]

Didn't think i needed you harmonizing with the bellas but thank you

[@faythshelby7060]

I can’t even explain why but no matter how many times I’ve seen it that last scene of them singing Flashlight always makes me cry

[@Ryne_Barrow]

A guy i went to high school with is one of the treblemakers. 8:49 on the right. Jerry Clark

[@chelseagrayb]

pitch perfect 2 is the most camp experience that was ever experienced camply

[@eiven6197]

Katey Sagal who plays Emily’s mother can actually sing. While watching Sons of Anarchy I found out she did some of the songs in SOA and she is really good you should check her out 😉 I think the first and second Pitch Perfect are the best. The third was okay but I think they could’ve done it better. Loved your reaction 😊

[@caitlinbaker36]

I thoroughly enjoyed your group singing of cups 😂

[@oliviafies5012]

Just watched your Inside Out reaction last night and noticed Sadness in the background. :') Rob, I immediately knew you meant the Green Bay Packers cameo.

[@thaipestana1214]

Since your not familiar with Hailee Steinfeld you should react to the show Hawkeye. It's a Marvel + Disney show with Hailee, Jeremy Renner and Florence Pugh. It's only one season so far.

[@yazdinib9898]

Zuff singing the song from Degrassi at the beginning was hilarious lol

[@emmabobemma5]

[@maxumis1]

My body stops functioning every time that scene comes on, I can’t even breath it’s just all too much

[@jmcb00]

My biggest beef with this one was that they did not utilize Katy Seagal’s (Mrs. Junk) amazing singing voice like at all. If they had her and even had a running joke about the note she created why not use it?

[@shandramch]

Omg you not knowing the thong song just makes me feel old lol, but loving binging your reactions

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks, Bryce! Thanks, Rob! Thanks, Zuff! 🎶 Since Rob seems appreciative of Hailee Steinfeld's talent, be sure to catch her exhibiting some top-notch acting in TRUE GRIT (2010) and in the popcorn flick BUMBLEBEE (2018). #ReelTime #ElizabethBanks #PitchPerfect2

SO CLOSE TO 100k!!!

[@misssharahzard]

[@nabs6784]

Crazy fact but The Obamas where in the movie, their daughters are huge fans. And Cynthia Rose gets spotlights because a lot of the songs she does she either worked on or knows the artists well. She has written a LOT of Rihanna songs and songs for Katy Perry, Missy Elliot, Nicki Minaj, and Beyonce

[@KrystalAnn0688]

First movie is, in my opinion, by far the best one. Plot wise, song wise, humor wise etc. The 2nd one isn’t awful (I loved the Fat Amy & Bumper singing to each other bit), but I did not enjoy the Flashlight song & how you gonna have Katey Sagal in it & not use her more?! & the 3rd, handful of funny moments, some good songs (some of the mashups & also Toxic), but mostly fell flat for me. But the trilogy as a whole is entertaining enough & y’all’s reactions are always great ❤

[@cheezyb92]

The first time I heard My Songs Know What You Do In The Dark I knew it would be perfect song for Acapella

Bro if you want to hear more of Ben Platt (Benji)’s amazing vocals, I highly recommend listening to the original Broadway dear Evan Hansen soundtrack. He hits notes that make my soul ascend. 😭🤚 He’s also got his own music out that’s so poignant and beautiful.
