Okay.. okay.... okay..... okay....... The Father is absolutely amazing and really sells it with Jeff Blim's pure chaos energies. At first I was pretty neutral about the Mother; they were good, came in at the right times, landed jokes. But that performance of When the World's at Stake was just- wow. I love them. The Daughter and Son are both super great. I cherish them, what else is there to say? The Grandpa/Every Other Person is good and getting better. I feel like I'm being too critical because there were a couple of things Joey did in the og TTO that didn't happen here, but then again some of the jokes either came in too late or too quickly. It seems as though they're easing into their position of playing literally Every Other Person, though. Some other things that aren't really actor related but I felt like I should add include: - I am already growing very sick of the "comical" sound effects. I laughed the first time, but when the conspiracy/illuminati sound effect rolled in I had to pause the video to contain my aggravation. - There's some good actor communication in this. For example- when the Daughter was doing the gag when they kept crying when offstage and shortly realized the rest of the cast had plowed on, they cut it out. I was impressed. - I kind of wish the Father didn't point out that the "Dysentery!" part (when they asked how they'd die) was an audience participation thing, but the audience themselves were polite to the point of being uncooperative (i.e. they didn't talk much when they were openly encouraged to. In og TTO there was clamoring of all sorts that added to the madness and made it better). It was necessary I guess but it really killed the scene. I'm just a StarKid fan who stumbled upon this production. My word doesn't come from a professional standing whatsoever. Essentially, don't @ me.
This is my comment thread. I'll come back and edit this when I have important reactions. *c r i c k e t s o u n d* "You killed him..." Upchuck following everything the Grandpa does, may just be the best thing ever. Buffalo Dad's high leg kicks are *sending* me! "That's my son! Upchuck, the baby killer!" Hotdog Water: *fake dies* Ruth: *sobbing* Blazing Saddle: *so done with this bullshit* Upchuck: *covers his ears* Me, watching: A+ acting right here, folks! Hotdog Water could step on me, and I'd thank her. Blazing Saddle is so extra, I love him. This is the most Jeff Blim thing I've ever seen.
The artistry in When My World's At Stake baffles me to this day.
This dude has ALMOST as much chaotic energy as Jeff Blim.
11:49 WOOOH SING IT GRANDPA
14:22 guess you can say she's pretty ruthless
I will never not love that we have all these weird dumb names and then there's just
Ruth.
OH MY GOD MINIBLIM RIGHT BEFORE DYSENTERY WORLD
"that's my son, upchuck, the baby killer"
F I R E B R A N D ◎ that line hits me like a truck everytime
No one can resist the band-and-snap
when ruth and hotdog water were talking and grandpa just makes that toss, skill.
damn

23:12 bruh this fucks me up
22:30 did he just bend and snap 😂
Her performance of "When my Worlds at Stake" was incredible omg
The sound effects are really bad, they distract from the moment :(
I honestly kinda prefer this dudes voice to Jeff... sorry?
Jeff's falsetto can be a little m u c h sometimes so yeah it's understandable
You’re wrong and I do not accept your apology
oh hi satan, the real man!
Damn that girl did better as the mother than Rachel
that’s a real hot take, i respectfully disagree. she did do a phenomenal job, though
Boelle Boble I respect your opinion and it’s nothing against Rachel, but if there was one who was closest to the real starkids, it was her
