Sometimes I watch these two and I'm like "wow, they are really great at improv". Then, moments like "we can, it comes in a can" come up, and the only explanation is they are actually just psychic.
i love watching zach's face while jess is singing the first part because you can just see the cogs whirring in his head and trying to figure out what she's going to say next it's so funny
The first time I saw this song without context i legit thought shortcake stacks were a real product and only found out the prompt was "make up a product placement song"
I’ve been listening to Zach and Jess content for months now, and to this day, this song is still one of the absolute goofiest. I love everything about it
I love how this is all just "oops we forgot what show we're on and have doomed ourselves" and SOMEHOW it worked and turned into an amazing apology song
Thank YOU. I've had this sitting on my desktop waiting to upload it 'cause sometimes I just need to listen to the Shortcake Stack song. Glad someone finally got this on Yt unedited.
I just wish, i had someone that shares my energy on the same as those two goofballs. It's incredible just how much they bounce off one another, almost like competing in a battle of who can tell the most outrageus bullshit without bursting out in laughter. I haven't felt such genuine joy in ages. Reminds of a battle of wits between siblings or friendly banter between good friends, really. Honestly their Chemistry is so good i'd love to just listen to them philosophising and talking about anything really. Can't wait to see more of that, i think mainstream media has not seen a more dynamic and iconic duo since they've introduced the trope. a one of a kind type of friendship, something you can't just reproduce or force an even better fit then Drake and Josh, a bond so strong it makes onlookers already happy and puts them in a playful mood just by observation. Outstanding. My favourite part is where Jess sings "its made with a different type of surculose but a very small miniscule tiny dose" i just love the thought of how fast she came up with that so it rhymes and makes sense in the context. Truly a piece of art.
absolutely insane that lines like can we make this part short the part where we dont talk anymore is in the same song as shortcake snack also comes in steak
someone would really be doing me such a great service if they were to tell me what song they're parodying in the reprise. it's been haunting me for SO long
I know at some point they reference "Johanna" from Sweeny Todd (by sondheim) and also "Look Down" from Les Mis, but I don't think either of those were in this episode.
@@annikaphillips9570 for sure! 😌 but nah, i mean the reprise in this video! i'm so sure it's parodying some pop song or at least is heavily inspired by it but i just have no clue what it is... especially the "short... cake.... shortcake stack..." part

Zach with the fucking save on "shortcake steak"
Those two could probably learn to levitate stuff with their minds if they practiced.
I believe it

You can hear his voice change as he smiles with delight at the line that's coming!
Part of what i love about improv is the connection with people. You get to know them and eventually can predict things just from previous experience
the way zach and jess started bouncing and then swaying at the exact same time
they're so in sync
honestly, like the telepathy right before the last ‘it comes in a can’ was mind blowing
then that "let's all go to the movies" walk.. 😂
“can we make this part short?”
“and if we could make this part sweet” god these guys are wizards
It was a matter of SECONDS between the two Shortcake Stack songs!? Based on the clips, I expected it to be a callback wayyy later…
Jess just completely breaking when she realizes what she just resigned herself to 💀
The "we can, we can, we can. It comes in a can"
oooooh
i can’t stop laughing at how they immediately start bouncing in unison without even looking at each other @ 0:36
Aaron's timing with the piano at 0:17 is impeccable
he's just too damn good
i love watching zach's face while jess is singing the first part because you can just see the cogs whirring in his head and trying to figure out what she's going to say next it's so funny
The first time I saw this song without context i legit thought shortcake stacks were a real product and only found out the prompt was "make up a product placement song"
honestly even with context for a little bit I really thought it might be a real product and they made up just the song, not the product
I love all of Jess's breaks during this song lmao
it's always so delightful
jess's sheer joy at this stupid song makes me so happy
Why, out of all the great parts in this reprise, do I keep going back to Zeke's "it's a short...stack...shortcake stack..."
it's so perfect
I love all performers on Play it By Ear, but Zeke and Ross are probably the only ones that can keep up with the insane brilliancy of Jess and Zach.
it's the best jingle made in the last 20 years
Their faces at the end when they both see that they have both perfectly coordinated the final line is priceless
Why is no one talking about the “with béarnaise” adlib at 3:09?? Just off the dome?? I’m convinced these two are aliens
actually Jess mentioned bearnaise earlier in the song, he was referencing it.
I’ve been listening to Zach and Jess content for months now, and to this day, this song is still one of the absolute goofiest. I love everything about it
they're just the best, especially when they make each other laugh
The goofiest until I tear up at "Can we make this part short?/The part where we don't talk anymore"
@@MissingSiriusRIGHT.
I really thought this was the one that would break Jess. BUT THEN SHE PULLS OUT A FUCKING SAD BELT! These two are geniuses, I swear 😂
I love how this is all just "oops we forgot what show we're on and have doomed ourselves" and SOMEHOW it worked and turned into an amazing apology song
Start: What a goofy funny song
End: I'M NOT CRYING YOU'RE CRYI-
Mano cackling like a feral beast at the piano intro
my favourite part is jess's little off-pitch "oo" at the end
Them just losing their shit over shortcake stacks is hilarious
One of the best songs from this show, the reprise is incredible

someone had requested it and it really deserves to be easily re-listenable!

Moments like this leave me believing that Jess and Zach are truly musical theatre improv soulmates
Jess’s “OOoooOoo…” at the very end of the song gets me every time
This is probably my favorite song from this recent season! So funny, the breaks, and the surprisingly emotional reprise I love it all
Just how Jess blanked and immediately the band started playing, forcing to start a song. Ahh they're a-holes, and I love them for it.
actual perfection, no notes
Advert campaigns have gotten crazy
i watch this every fuckin day
the second half of this makes me tear up every time
the harmoniesss
someone would really be doing me such a great service if they were to tell me what song they're parodying in the reprise. it's been haunting me for SO long
Not a direct parody, but I got "Something to Believe in" vibes... from Newsies
📰 maybe? 😋
I don't think they're parodying anything in this? Is it in a different part of the episode?
I know at some point they reference "Johanna" from Sweeny Todd (by sondheim) and also "Look Down" from Les Mis, but I don't think either of those were in this episode.

I really need to reach out to my best friend...
It would have been hilarious if at the end instead of going to the slow tempo they went with the standard fast like the beginning 😂
Kinda hoping this gets animated one day
These guys are pure magic together
3:16 CHILLS????
Jess laughing could cure my depression
Is it just me that during the apology when it goes "steak" "with bearnaise" it sounded like seventeen from heathers??? just me??
3:07
I come back to this every day
Damn they've gotten good at this 'improv musical' thing.
That episode was huguey.
now i want one
Shortcake
Why is the top of the stack sorry…
it knows what it did
_woo_
Is it only zack and jess in this episode?
No, during the second half you can see Zeke standing off to the side and harmonizing 😊 It's always at least three people in the cast for PIBE
@@rovermcfly zeke is such a good improv buddy, he sets up punchlines and good lines lol.
@@YourAverageViewers Zeke's contrib to this song is small in size but it really makes the whole thing work.
