That was the line that actually sucked me into the franchise for the first time. Yes. I became a fan of HSM because Coach asked what the heck those two were doing in the tree.
Oh my god can we PLEASE rewrite a version of High School Musical where Troy just uses a ladder to get everywhere, even when he's playing basketball, no exceptions
Than him singing an emotional ballad about the literal and emotional heights he has to climb to get to where he is. Troy: i have climbed this ladder all my life and it hasn’t gotten me anywhere. My dad keeps pressuring me to fulfill his dream, but I don’t care.
I’m pretty sure all 3 films follow the same basic story line with special differences in each (e.g. first year, first show - summer holiday - graduation) lol hahahaha
High school musical 3 has a bigger budget because it’s a theatrical release. Believe it or not on a budget of 11 million it made 252.9 million over 22 times its budget that’s insane li
That movie was just the biggest thing ever at that time, the fact that a threequel of a straight to TV movie could end up being that big and immediately launch Zack Effron into movie star status by getting him 17 Again is honestly impressive
The weirdest thing about HSM1 is you never actually see the musical they were auditioning for. Also with HSM 3, I’m still kinda confused as to whether or not you see them at prom? You see them doing the prom dance, but it is for the show? BUT THEN THEY NEVER PERFORM IT IN THE SHOW? AH.
it is very wierd, they mix the prom with the musical, there is the song that looks like a part of the musical, but also they wear different outfits for this scene and for the other one in the end... very confused
We don't, Troy makes the Prom dance with Gabriella in Stanford and the scene changes with everyone dancing, but I think that is just them imagining it. I always assumed that Prom happened while Troy was driving with Gabriella, I am not a US geography expert but in the movie it is implied that it was a long drive and it probably took a couple of days, specially in Troy's car and Troy went to see her on the day of the prom. I also assumed the prom scene in the musical happened off camera or they cut it off.
HSM3 was pretty confusing to me, it kept jumping from musical to real life and to "singing in real life". I also wish there was more of everyone else besides being centered on Gabriella and Troy, since this is the last movie, it would be nice to give most of the characters we've seen in the previous movies some closure.
@@joyanl yeah what was all that jumping around about? It was the fact they TRIED to give the other characters closure but then not really? Like with the whole Chad asking Taylor to prom bit.
HSM2 is so different to watch as an adult. Just the whole concept of Troy’s friends throwing a hissy fit when he actually had the AUDACITY to try and put his future first. What happened to the friends who supported him nO maTTeR wHAt??
it would be ok if he hadn't broken every promise he made within the first five minutes of making it, blown them off after committing to do things with them, and then have blown off sharpay who was doing all of it for him because he wouldn't have gotten the damn scholarship without her
@@hi.im.ana123 Yeah that’s true actually. He just shouldn’t have committed so much and been honest. Although the part where they get all sour because Troy’s off to play basket ball with some professionals always makes me laugh. As if they would do that, being such massive basketball nerds?
@@hi.im.ana123 AND I always felt sorry for Sharpay at the end when they lied to her. She literally spent her whole summer organising it all only to be completely sabotaged. Not cool Troy, not cool.
@@mavhhh To be fair, Troy fully intended to sing with her and thought he was going to. Chad and the others changed the song at the last minute, not Troy.
I think Drew Seeley still sings for Disney Channel. He sang for Star Struck, the three guys from Cheetah Girls 3, and the latest I know is Ben from Descendants.
if seamus ever comes out as any lgbt, i will not accept him as one of us and cite this as my source. everyone who is and has seen this movie cares at least a bit. (obviously joking but the implications are too strong to ignore esp after the gayest sport song in history)
@@s__9939 I mean it's intentionally supposed to be subtle but Kenny Ortega confirmed that this moment of clothes swapping is supposed to symbolize Chad and Ryan's beginning of a relationship rather than a friendship. And Ryan's actor said as much himself, that Ryan is supposed to be gay and Chad is bi and that the song and dance was about Ryan getting Chad to stop being a homophobe and accept himself and that swapping clothes after he agreed to sing and dance with him is indicative of them starting a down low relationship. IDK I remember reading that somewhere a few years back so something might not be quite right but yeah that's the gist.
It’s so funny watching someone watch 3 who doesn’t realize how it was in theaters and it was such a big deal! I saw it opening weekend for my friends birthday and it was an amazing experience haha
Oh thank God!! Every time he talked about the great quality for a DisneyChannel movie I just kept thinking: It came out in theaters right? I don't misremember do I? He literally made me question my own memories, because I could swear I saw it in theaters 😂😂
I had never noticed the astronomical difference in quality until i rewatched with a friend thats graduated in cinema and she just kept pointing out the amazing production of the 3rd one
The reason why the third one is so much longer and has such a bigger budget (more expensive shots, actually choreographed musical numbers, insane set pieces) is because it came out in theaters. I’m pretty sure it was the first and only Disney Channel Original Movie to do so
@@JeeMeeVee Bruuuuhhhh didn't know that. I wonder if one of the cheetah girls was in theaters too. Probs not but when I look at 3's poster I feel like it could've been.
idk if seamus knows bc he seemed a little confused about why miss darbus’s class ended so quickly, but it’s not a legit class, it’s homeroom, which is usually about a 15 minute long class at the beginning of the school day where you hear school announcements and stuff
also: my schools have never had huge photos of sports players on the walls, but they did have slightly smaller than real life ones and just collages of random photos of students from past yearbooks (like as a patterned wallpaper, not just photos hung up)
I never had a homeroom like that, though the did switch to what was called advisory which was later in the day and depending on the day of the week it was treated as a study hall or homeroom or sometimes you could go to another teacher for help if you needed to since everyone had advisory at the exact same time.
@@queentroller2865 i’ve had something like that before, we called it student flex time and had it almost every day. we still had homeroom too though, they served different purposes for us and sft was a bit longer so you had time to visit teachers and study.
Ultimately, as far as I can tell, Troy and Gabriella have an advantage in singing and chemistry, while Sharpay and Ryan have an advantage in dancing, acting, and professionalism. The contest would in most cases go to Sharpay and Ryan, but Troy and Gabriella also have the advantage of a supportive audience to pressure Mrs. Darbus into awarding them the roles, and therefore they win in this circumstance.
Maybe you need a third verse for the closing number /encore, as it’s not a DCOM, it is not summed up in the lack of need for a 2hr DCOM second verse. Just saying
you’ve done it, you’ve made the best video on this platform. congratulations. can’t wait for part two: i watched high school musical: the musical: the series for the first time: the youtube video
You should watch Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure, definitely the best movie to come out of this franchise! I will die on that hill, no one can change my mind!!
Seamus: There are no Disney Channel Original Movie sequels. Me: Oh well, I guess Teen Beach 2, Camp Rock 2, Zombies 2, and Descendants 2 & 3 don’t exist then.
EaST hIgH The school that idolises the jocks. You’ve at least got to admit it was a nice call back in the 3rd film where Troy rips down the 50ft poster of him.
I had a friend do a "promposal" by getting his barbershop quartet to interrupt a class and sing her a song asking her to prom. Not common but it does happen.
I'm just gonna say, that one of the only male dancers at our school, who was one of the leads in the musical in this year, is in the premier basketball team. And one of the top dancers at our school, who is my dance partner, is amazing at cricket. I refuse to believe that this kind of thing happens in college (high school. We call high school college). Literally no one cares.
I feel like it plays into the teen movie cliche of the environment being super-grouped off, so they are defined by that one thing. Mean Girls does that, and I think Ashley Tisdale even mentioned being inspired by Regina George. And there’s a lot of other movies with the geeky/nerdy girl who blossoms over the course of the movie, and the jock who wants to be seen as more than that…it’s like just throwing in all these cliches, and add music. I love HSM, and I love teen romcoms, but it’s kinda amusing how the tropes often have little reflection of reality.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that he wrote a freaking song?! I mean she miss usually puts a lot of effort into his videos but this is another level! By the way sheamus if you're reading this I'm a huge fan and I really love your work 💖💞✨🌟
High School Musical 3 is a musical cinematic masterpiece. The way the musical numbers are staged, the choreography, the emotional punches. I think most people don't realize *how* big this movie was in 2008. It was a global phenomenon and the third one just launched it from a TV thing into theatres and Zac Efron stayed in theatres for the rest of his career. Yes, it is a silly movie but the technical aspects thanks to the brilliant direction by Kenny Ortega, who worked with Michael Jackson, is honestly breathtaking. I have yet to see a bigger musical number in *any* movie musical since that, that was as big as either "I Want It All" or "A Night To Remember".
as someone who grew up watching this franchise, i really appreciate this. i have a lot of nostalgia for hsm 2 specifically cause i saw it when i was like five. it's such a fun summer movie, the songs are bops and the storyline is more realistic compared to the first one. though looking back on it, the conflict in the movie could've been better developed. and troy's friends were acting a bit unreasonable as he can't get everyone scholarships yk
You should try “Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure” next! Also, thanks for taking me down nostalgia lane; I was laughing the entire time! Oh! And the reason why HSM3 looks “better” is because it was released in theaters/cinemas.
If Sharpay is your favorite character and you want to see some character development for her I recommend watching the spin-off film Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure Also, fun fact, the school they filmed the movies at still have Sharpays lockers! The school also floods a lot
So a note about the time line. High school basketball typically runs from November to February or March. So there was still plenty to of time left in the school year for all the stuff to happen.
That was literally the best thing I have seen in a long time. I was laughing the entire time. I love your videos and they always make my day! Also, your song will be stuck in my head forever now.
Now that we’ve had that amazing musical number at the end of the video we need an official Seamus Gorman musical, written, directed and performed by Seamus!
There were a few DCOMs that had sequels before "High school musical", but not many. "Zenon: Girl of the 21st century" got "Zenon the zequel" and "Halloweentown" got "Halloweentown II: Kalabar's revenge" both in 2001. Also, Hannah Montana had only been on air for a year when HSM2 came out, so Miley Cyrus wasn't too big yet.
i love how everyone says that is just a disney channel cliche, but the thing is that this movie literally invented the classic disney movie cliche romance, and that's actually a merit
Zac Efron didn't sing in the first movie because he didn't know how. He learned for the 2nd and 3rd because he really wanted to actually sing in them, and now it's like his thing 🤷 edit: wth seamus where have you been hiding that angelic voice all this time :')
He actually recorded his voice for the first movie, but they still ended up with Drew Seeley singing (the dude is still singing for Disney Channel as far as I'm aware, he did voice sing for Ben from Descendants.
"i reacted to all the high school musical movies for the first time" is a refreshing change of pace from normal videos of Seamus Gorman. The reaction video wonderfully blends hilarious comedy, excellent critiques, and mixtures of both. Seamus and Vegard play off each other extremely well, and the ending is simply legendary. Ending in a DCOM style musical number was a brilliant idea, though the lack of knowledge on his opinion of 3: Senior Year is quite tragic. 9/10 video.
I swear if you don’t watch Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure adventure after this I’m gonna sue. It’s an actual masterpiece. (Actually it’s probably bad but I haven’t seen it since I was like 8 and I loved it so you need to watch it)
ABOUT THE LADDER: in suite life of zack and cody they did a high school musical episode where sharpay has a ladder prop during bop to the top. maybe that's what you were thinking of?
I think the timeline is like this… junior year (grade 11) is hsm 1; then hsm 2 is summer between grade 11 and 12; hsm 3 picks up in senior year (grade 12)
Seamus making fun of the Utah setting in HSM2. Me who lives here “yup…” 😂. My sister and I still sing and quote these movies almost 16 years later. The third movie actually came out when I was about to graduate high school so the feels I had watching this 😂🥲
The third movie was actually released in theaters and was a bigger deal than the first two. I remember hearing the boys are back on the radio a week after.
I love your commentary Seamus, BUT, your friend's laugh was the best part of this video. PERIOD. that and him singing along. Felt like I was watching it with a friend
I love how Seamus waves the wand around like how the old school Disney stars waved their wands to make the Mickey logo and failing miserably. 😂 it was a nice nostalgic touch and if you don’t know what I am talking about just look it up.
Your musical review at the end was the only one I've liked compared to any other channel that has done something like that. The sound quality was great, the singing wasn't cringy, and the music really had a fun stage musical feel to it. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This made me laugh. I've only seen the 3rd film. My nephew was obsessed with the movies. I didn't know that Zach Efron didn't sing in the film. He's sung in other musicals.
The budget (and run-time) for the third HSM film DID skyrocket, but there actually was a reason. HSM3 wasn't exactly a DCOM lol. It was released in film theatres. I literally went to the local Cineplex theatre to see it with my sister sometime during opening week. The first 2 films gained a big enough following with the target pre-teen audience that Disney felt comfortable pumping money into the final film for it to go for box office cash lol.
Fun fact: the milk scene in HSM2 was the inspiration for these lyrics from Gwen Stefani's "The Sweet Escape": "CauseI'vebeenactinglikesourmilkall onthefloor It'syourfaultyoudidn'tshuttherefrigerator Maybethat'sthereasonI'vebeenactingsocold"
Seamus, I’ve been in the same boat, but I haven’t seen it yet, only the musical version of it my school put on 5 years ago Also, ABOUT TIME YOU UPLOADED
Actually way more DCOMs have sequels than you think 😂 Camp Rock 1 and 2, all three HSMs, Teen Beach Movie and Teen Beach 2, all the Halloweentowns, all three Descendants movies, and more
Oh my gosh first Seamus watches all the high school musical and then he makes his own song!? Can this day get any better? Excellent work, sir. I'd love to hear your thoughts on camp rock...
I had a high school musical movie marathon with my youth group when I was in year 13. Those films are so nostalgic to me, and hsm3 really hits differently when you're about to graduate high school and go to different universities after 7 years with your friends. I was SOBBING during walk away and everyone laughed at me 😞
Congratulation seamus you made it onto my comfort videos playlist because your comments to these movies are absolute gold LOL I will never be able to watch these movies again without thinking about your comments
I can't believe you haven't addressed the best line in all of the movies:
*"What the heck are those two doing in a tree!?"* 🌲
BEST line from the first movie.
Also the “yippity-skippity” bit from the second film. 🤣
I even read that in the coach's voice. That's how iconic the line is
That was the line that actually sucked me into the franchise for the first time. Yes. I became a fan of HSM because Coach asked what the heck those two were doing in the tree.
That’s the line that had me in tears🤣

Oh my god can we PLEASE rewrite a version of High School Musical where Troy just uses a ladder to get everywhere, even when he's playing basketball, no exceptions
He has to use a ladder to dunk while playing basketball.
Real life shoots and ladders lol
Only if it can be the sparkily ladder from bop to the top
Than him singing an emotional ballad about the literal and emotional heights he has to climb to get to where he is.
Troy: i have climbed this ladder all my life and it hasn’t gotten me anywhere.
My dad keeps pressuring me to fulfill his dream, but I don’t care.
or make him wear stilts the whole movie, the running would be very funny
Does know one else love how Seamus guesses the entire storyline in the first 30 secs
It's a Disney high school film, of course you can guess the entire plot
Who doesn't
Wonder if he saw the South Park episode
I’m pretty sure all 3 films follow the same basic story line with special differences in each (e.g. first year, first show - summer holiday - graduation) lol hahahaha
No-one
It's ok Sharpay Evans gets to go through the same character arc for a 4th time in her own movie
No way is that how sharpays fabulous adventure is about

though looking back on it, the conflict in the movie could've been better developed. and troy's friends were acting a bit unreasonable as he can't get everyone scholarships yk
The second one is definitely the best one!
Legends say Seamus is climbing these stairs to this day
You should try “Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure” next!
Also, thanks for taking me down nostalgia lane; I was laughing the entire time!
Oh! And the reason why HSM3 looks “better” is because it was released in theaters/cinemas.
If Sharpay is your favorite character and you want to see some character development for her I recommend watching the spin-off film Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure
Also, fun fact, the school they filmed the movies at still have Sharpays lockers! The school also floods a lot
“Chad and Ryan switched clothes!”
Seamus: That doesn’t change my life.
Everyone else: *gasp*
So a note about the time line. High school basketball typically runs from November to February or March. So there was still plenty to of time left in the school year for all the stuff to happen.
That was literally the best thing I have seen in a long time. I was laughing the entire time. I love your videos and they always make my day! Also, your song will be stuck in my head forever now.
Now that we’ve had that amazing musical number at the end of the video we need an official Seamus Gorman musical, written, directed and performed by Seamus!
Written by Vegard
Seamus: No other Disney channel original has a sequel right?
Camp Rock: Am I a joke to you?
Alternate title: Seamus not knowing U.S. high school sports culture
There were a few DCOMs that had sequels before "High school musical", but not many. "Zenon: Girl of the 21st century" got "Zenon the zequel" and "Halloweentown" got "Halloweentown II: Kalabar's revenge" both in 2001.
Also, Hannah Montana had only been on air for a year when HSM2 came out, so Miley Cyrus wasn't too big yet.
i love how everyone says that is just a disney channel cliche, but the thing is that this movie literally invented the classic disney movie cliche romance, and that's actually a merit
Zac Efron didn't sing in the first movie because he didn't know how. He learned for the 2nd and 3rd because he really wanted to actually sing in them, and now it's like his thing 🤷
edit: wth seamus where have you been hiding that angelic voice all this time :')
He actually recorded his voice for the first movie, but they still ended up with Drew Seeley singing (the dude is still singing for Disney Channel as far as I'm aware, he did voice sing for Ben from Descendants.
@@junjunjamore7735 Oh, that's cool :0 I didn't know he even recorded them.
He didn’t do the first bc he was going through puberty hahahahaha
"i reacted to all the high school musical movies for the first time" is a refreshing change of pace from normal videos of Seamus Gorman. The reaction video wonderfully blends hilarious comedy, excellent critiques, and mixtures of both. Seamus and Vegard play off each other extremely well, and the ending is simply legendary. Ending in a DCOM style musical number was a brilliant idea, though the lack of knowledge on his opinion of 3: Senior Year is quite tragic. 9/10 video.
I swear if you don’t watch Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure adventure after this I’m gonna sue. It’s an actual masterpiece. (Actually it’s probably bad but I haven’t seen it since I was like 8 and I loved it so you need to watch it)
ABOUT THE LADDER:
in suite life of zack and cody they did a high school musical episode where sharpay has a ladder prop during bop to the top. maybe that's what you were thinking of?
I think the timeline is like this… junior year (grade 11) is hsm 1; then hsm 2 is summer between grade 11 and 12; hsm 3 picks up in senior year (grade 12)
I deeply relate to Vegard, I'm glad he was there to represent me and say what I wanted to say every time, thank you, Vegard
The closing musical number was the best thing ever
The fact that I live in Albuquerque and you called it fake was hilarious 😂
Starting a petition for him to do Twilight 😂
ON MY LIST
Love how Vegard knows everything. True Disney Channel queen
Thank you for the singing in the end, that's what we call commitment to a cause; one of the reasons why you're one of my favourite RUclipsrs ❤️
Thank you Seamus for breaking out into song! You foreshadowed it perfectly, and you lived the dream of living in a musical. You rock!
Seamus making fun of the Utah setting in HSM2. Me who lives here “yup…” 😂.
My sister and I still sing and quote these movies almost 16 years later. The third movie actually came out when I was about to graduate high school so the feels I had watching this 😂🥲
20:32 oh but bestie, HSM3 had a *theatrical* release. If you were looking for groundbreaking, that was it
The third movie was actually released in theaters and was a bigger deal than the first two. I remember hearing the boys are back on the radio a week after.
this was actually super fun to watch
The high school musical movies are so iconic, like it went from being a Disney Channel original movie to being in the MOVIE THEATERS!
Now he needs to review Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure
I love your commentary Seamus, BUT, your friend's laugh was the best part of this video. PERIOD. that and him singing along. Felt like I was watching it with a friend
It’s sad that the best thing about High School Musical 2 is that it helped make Phineas And Ferb popular.
i know i’m 2 months late replying to this but i just want to know how it helped make phineas and ferb popular?
I would like to know that too :O
@@burnoverme the first episode of phineas and ferb premiered alongside hsm2
High School Musical 3 wasn't a DCOM. It was released in theatres
I love how Seamus waves the wand around like how the old school Disney stars waved their wands to make the Mickey logo and failing miserably. 😂 it was a nice nostalgic touch and if you don’t know what I am talking about just look it up.
The hat is a step forward seamus!!! She's wearing hats like ryan!! Its cuuuuuuuuuuute
Fun Fact: HSM 3 was actually released in Theaters, so it wasn’t a DCOM
Your musical review at the end was the only one I've liked compared to any other channel that has done something like that. The sound quality was great, the singing wasn't cringy, and the music really had a fun stage musical feel to it. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This made me laugh. I've only seen the 3rd film. My nephew was obsessed with the movies. I didn't know that Zach Efron didn't sing in the film. He's sung in other musicals.
I think he only didn’t sing in the first movie himself. Not sure whether that’s true, I just heard it somewhereXD
He sang in the second and third movies, but not in the first one! :)
@@serenaisproblem What happened here?
@@malcfoy oh my goodness, i have no idea how that happened 😂
6:00 “I love that the message of this film is, “You can do more than one thing.”
I never thought of it that way but that’s hilarious 🤣
loved that musical number in the end 10/10
The budget (and run-time) for the third HSM film DID skyrocket, but there actually was a reason. HSM3 wasn't exactly a DCOM lol. It was released in film theatres. I literally went to the local Cineplex theatre to see it with my sister sometime during opening week.
The first 2 films gained a big enough following with the target pre-teen audience that Disney felt comfortable pumping money into the final film for it to go for box office cash lol.
Fun fact: the milk scene in HSM2 was the inspiration for these lyrics from Gwen Stefani's "The Sweet Escape":
"CauseI'vebeenactinglikesourmilkall
onthefloor
It'syourfaultyoudidn'tshuttherefrigerator
Maybethat'sthereasonI'vebeenactingsocold"
That song came so out of the blue I legit didn't expect it and I need more of it. Genuinely a good video man, keep creating cool stuff ❤️
This was so fun!! I love you and Vegard bantering! MORE PLS
Seamus, I’ve been in the same boat, but I haven’t seen it yet, only the musical version of it my school put on 5 years ago
Also, ABOUT TIME YOU UPLOADED
IMPROVING THAT TITLE:
i watched high school musical for the first time(feat. vegard's knee)
Another epic instalment in the “watch Seamus watch films” series
I was in highschool when the third one came out in cinemas, thanks for making me feel old. Yay.
12:38 I never noticed that they just left the milk right there. Now that I know, it bothers me to no end
There's never a need for a 2 hour DCOM(Official Seamus Music Video)
COMING SOON
So I grew up LOVING these movies. My senior quote was actually related to how high school is actually way more about crying than it is singing 😂😂
High School Musical 3 was in theaters, thats why it was so high quality and high budget. Also, I love Vegard’s laugh ❤️
Uh oh, you forgot Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure! You're not getting away that easily!
This video made me so incredibly happy, especially that ending. Seamus never disappoints.
Actually way more DCOMs have sequels than you think 😂
Camp Rock 1 and 2, all three HSMs, Teen Beach Movie and Teen Beach 2, all the Halloweentowns, all three Descendants movies, and more
Twitches!
Zenon
And now the Z-O-M-B-I-E-S trilogy.
Oh my gosh first Seamus watches all the high school musical and then he makes his own song!? Can this day get any better? Excellent work, sir. I'd love to hear your thoughts on camp rock...
I had a high school musical movie marathon with my youth group when I was in year 13. Those films are so nostalgic to me, and hsm3 really hits differently when you're about to graduate high school and go to different universities after 7 years with your friends. I was SOBBING during walk away and everyone laughed at me 😞
Of course my man did it, keep up the amazing content man
Congratulation seamus you made it onto my comfort videos playlist because your comments to these movies are absolute gold LOL I will never be able to watch these movies again without thinking about your comments
I'm petitioning that this series needs to be watched & examine by film schools in order for the students to graduate 🎓
Oh god I remember watching High School Musical 3 in the movie theater and I was SO HYPED through the entire thing! Ngl it was my favorite one.
