    One of my favorite things that happens/unfolds in the Parking Lot Wedding episode is when Thomas (as Dave) mentions how Cory hadn't stopped short Paul from saying anything "mean" and moves him to the back of the line, sending Sebastian to the front to be best man. I can not describe to you how satisfying that part was to watch; seeing all of those little loose strings that you forgot about being tied up. Honestly so amazingly smart and hilarious. I love these specials soooo much and request them to everyone I know all the time.

    Is Ben Schwartz the kindest listener of all time??

    • @RebornLegacy
      @RebornLegacy 4 года назад +11

      His job requires him to be listening very closely to the person he's improving with.

      fr every single time you see him in a two shot he's ALWAYS staring straight at the person who's talking even in the earliest show when he's supposed to be looking in the camera he's looking right at lauren

    the clown move in the wedding episode? ICONIC.
    The whole series? awesome.
    Ben and Tom? talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before.
    The father of the groom? LOOOOOOSE.
    The law student? from Maryland.
    The alien? hungry.
    The gazelle? fucked.
    Sawson? Internal Kyle.
    Kyle? Internal Sawson.

    Are we not gonna talk about Tom forgetting/stop caring he's on camera and start eating.. what is that? Nuts?? lol He's like a little kid trying to sneak snacks in class and his best friend answers the teacher's questions for him cuz he has a mouth full

  • @christabelle9942
    @christabelle9942 4 года назад +8

    Wow kevin is such a great interviewer. He asks questions that are so thoughtful and pulls so much insight out of Ben and Thomas instead of just the surface level questions I always see from other interviews. I really enjoyed this interview!

  • @khallo151
    @khallo151 Год назад

    I have been absorbing as much Schwartz and Middleditch as possible on RUclips and this is by far the best interview content I’ve seen. The number of times Ben looks surprised and pleased at a question wins.

    I’m glad he asked that question at 2:20, and I think I know exactly what the interviewer meant. It seems like there were times where Thomas would get a little overwhelmed and Ben was able to step in and kind of... nudge him back on track?

    • @joecooper9424

      @BadCoverMan 3 года назад +3

      @@joecooper9424 Well yeah, but to be fair to Ben, he was using what she said about there possibly being aliens in the beginning that Thomas didn’t hear or forgot about.

I definitely want more of this

    Yay for this! Thanks, Kevin! Improv, especially long-form, is criminally under-appreciated and it's great to see it getting coverage, and a NETFLIX SPECIAL SERIES? awesome. Go find good improv in your city! If it's not that available, maybe help it? There's a lot of great and funny improv peeps out there, they just need a space and room to grow. You have to grow improv, it takes time to grow the culture in your city. It's worth it, though.

    I just rewatched Parking Lot Wedding and I'm still mouth agape at how brilliant it fucking is. I don't know how they literally did a plot twist and had character development through making something up on the spot. The little nuances that relate back to the audience story and the CLOWN. Amazing,

    19:43 If youre talking about the scene in the interview when Ben has to embody a gazelle, when he stops and asks if he's in view of the camera, I thought it was his character making sure he was in view of the webcam that he was doing the interview through and it was part of the act.
