HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- "Flop Stoppers" is a journey fraught with secret organizations, high-powered executives, and, of course, music. Two fanboys will risk their lives to preserve the sanctity of the comic book lore they love. But in navigating the devious underbelly of studio system, at what point are our heroes' efforts in vain? When do their acts of bravery become acts of villainy??

It's not a TCB production without somebody getting held hostage :D
+Lucy Moon 🤣
Lucy Moon true😂😂
666th like. Boom.
Ikr
indeed
"I want action"
*slams gun on table*
*turns it around*
"I am authorizing you to use my firearm"
I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING
*America's Great Again plays faintly in the background*
that is exactly what i thought of lmfao 💀💀
I love how casual A.J. Holmes is about having a gun held to his head
"Also I don't want to."
our favorite line
getting tgwdlm vibes from that
@@tjtcb4304 really? cause i'm getting firebringer vibes
@@archieyeah its just the starkid signature vibe
Spencer and Graham: Cuz it's just a movie!
Percy Jackson fans: *you don't understand*
I mean now there's going to be a Disney+ show sooo... it's just a movie!
@@annaclift6023 I heard Rick was happy about the show though, so there's hope!
@@annaclift6023 There also is a musical that’s on Broadway. You should listen to it if you haven’t.
@@luuuuux_ Yes, I love the musical so much! It's awesome, but it's also great to have a more accessible adaptation on Netflix (since I can't go watch the show, I don't live in America), especially if it's more faithful to the books than the movie that shall not be named.
@@luuuuux_ I love the lightning theif, way better than the movies
I haven't seen A. J. Holmes in FOREVER. I shrieked at 14:13 when I saw him!
OMIGOSH I WASNT SURE IF thAt WAS HIM OR NOT ThaNKS YOUSSS
Joey tries to kill his heart
AJ IS IN THIS!!??? YASSSS
Tbh I love how Clark's characters names are almost always just Clark
"Hmm. I should start my homework now, I'm graduating and need to keep my grades up."
*TCB releases a musical short film about being a nerd*
"WELP"
Hands are tied. I get it.
this is two years old but as a current senior I RELATE
senioritis is one hell of a drug
nothing like a good old clark and pierce cameo to make a fangirl happy 😊
AND AJ HOLMES!?!?!
And TESSAAAA
Wow, that did not feel like 25 minutes at all. I would really support a feature length version of this. Especially with songs that catchy and jokes that funny. A++ job.
"also, I don't want to."
Our favorite line, tbh
mack schneider is the biggest snub ever but the actor who plays him is so talented
+the twelfth doctor truth
I love this so much!!
Tesssaaaa 💕💕💕
Tessa Netting agreed
I love how the actual movie and brand names are never used but everyone knows what they're talking about
I love the movie posters in the office scene 😂 "Dinoland" instead of Jurassic park and "F.A" instead of "E.T" 😂
+BabbleGabbleGamer good eye!
Thanks! I'm trying to work out any of the others- i friggin love details like that xD So far I think "Lookouts" is "Watchmen" (not entirely sure) and i have no clue what "River's 21" is xD I feel like it's really obvious tho. Still in the process of working out the fake name to the one on the end near Max's seat and the studio logo (im pretty sure its based off the WB logo? Something about the golden shield with the initials on the inside, just SS rather that WB xD). Looks like some kinda spy/war movie xD but yea xD
IVE WORKED OUT "river's 21" its "Ocean's 11" right?!?!
Also at 7:13 im pretty sure, although its blurry, that one of the pictures is of AlFal and as it says "Arbour Day" quite clearly, im assuming thats referencing "ANN arbour michigan"... Uh and i think some of the other pictures on that poster/advertisment is of the other Starkids, cant be sure as the focus is on Viv xD I'm still working on the last poster... I think the fakename is "The Cad" or "The Gad"... not 100% tho xD
BabbleGabbleGamer I'm going to guess it's The Grid? Instead of The Matrix.
I need a "Flop Stoppers" and "I Need a Hero" mash-up.........like....as soon as possible. Kthanksbyeeeeeeee
a little bit late but
ruclips.net/video/CtsElNqhYQM/видео.html
i try my best
Who is the cameraman cause damn, there were some shots that were just so amazing, i love the quality seriously.
Our DP was Benji Dell and he's awesome!
I wish to have that sort of professional eye someday, he really appears to be awesome with what he does!
I am honestly just so amazed how good quality this was. The filming was amazing, the acting was incredible, and the songs were super good. This was over all very professional looking and I couldn't be more proud of you guys!
Mr Harrisson: "No I don't think so" "Also I don't want to"
Paul: "No" "Yeah, I don't want to tho"
"If she says kill, we say how high!"
Me: WHEN I SAY JUMP, SAY HOW HIGH, YA KNOW YOURE DOIN IT RIGHT WHEN YOU START. TO. CRY.
Can't believe Joey had both his hearts in the same room, smh
omg
I feel so blessed; I would like to thank not only God, but Jesus. My acne is clear, the sun is shining, my grades are high, and my crops are flourishing. What a beautiful gift this is.
+IronicAndPunny 🙏
acne? clear
sun? shining
grades? high
crops? flourishing
flop? stopped
hotel? trivago
Remember to thank the Duck Lord!
@@lizzyserf haha so true
Ah, so that's what Gilderoy is up to these days
Brian standing up for RUclips commenters everywhere.
I feel so frustrated when I see something like this, and I see all the effort that went into it and not much people know about it. I just wanna show the whole world. Just like the musical Spies are Forever
Same-
So actually a great message:
"Its just a movie!!!"
I love you guys
also AJ Holmes is a freaking dream boat...😶😶😶
just sayin
Joey’s a timelord! How do I know?
1. Time travel (obviously)
2. A.J. and Brian have both played his heart. Ergo, he has two hearts.
This is a 100% foolproof theory. Joey Richter, I have you figured out!
3? He also played the time jerker in henry danger lmao
4. In Black Friday he somehow stole Linda’s pepper spray and I think he went back in time and stole it
5. Nightmare Time... won't be specific in case you haven't seen it but my friend you are onto something
@@laurenlevy9378 That is very true. The proof is overwhelming. Waiting for a comment from Joey. There is no way to ignore all these signs.
AJ telling Joey to listen to his heart. :P
"sometimes you have to decide if you're good or evil." yesss to that entire song and scene tho! such a creative short film!
I JUST FINISHED IT AND DAMN, BOYS. DAMN.
I SCREAMED FOR THE ENTIRE 25MINUTES
EM Lawton SAME AND HI AGAIN
HI FRIEND!!! XD
I 100% called it that Nick was one of the hooded figures, I'd recognize my boy anywhere
Somehow didn't notice him the first time I watched this, but I put it on just now and immediately noticed him I love his dancing and facial expressions
Get rich with me is such a bop, I still come here from time to time to listen to it again.
It’s not a tcb production without someone gesturing unsafely with a gun
This is BEAUTIFUL! I love Clark and Pierce's section, and Brian's little smirk at 2:59 was absolutely ADORABLE!! TCB is at it again!!
Longest "yeaahhh boii" of my life
"She says Kill, we say how high?"
“give their moms the same name, I’m sure no one will ever notice”
Deserves waaay more credit
Is...is that AJ??!! I've missed him sooooo much!
+Lucy Walker it is! We miss him too
I was listening to his voice trying to pick up a trace of Joey's Heart or Gilderoy: The Mouse Prince, and he sounded so different! I was super impressed.
And overall, I think it was a concept well-executed, with a good cast and good songs and good cinematography. Tin Can Bros has done an amazing job, as usual.
@@janedoe6866 when he first appeared I was like that kinda sounds like gilderoy but then he started singing and I was like WHAT THE FUCK HOW DID THE MAN GET MORE MAGICAL
You can’t tell me that the script being written by Spencer Lang and (something) Holdet isn’t a reference- I love the detail in TCB projects
You know it's good when it's made by TCB and there's 0 dislikes :D
+Jamie The Teapot 😆
I can’t tell if this aged like milk or a fine wine because of the current landscape of superhero movies and how many people react to them
In case anyone was confused 😂
TC = DC
Magnificent Comics = Marvel Comics
Detective Dark v Captain Cosmos: Rise of Liberty = Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
Mack Schneider = Zack Snyder
Jester = Joker
Liberty Team = Justice League
Bad Apple = Rotten Tomatoes
@auraliecherise I think that anybody who didn't know that would be so unversed in superhero loree that they would have been too confused to have watched it all the way through anyway.
This is such a dumb premise done so well 😂
That is starkids/tcb in a nut shell. Have you seen spilled milk?
This was so not what I was expecting, and I LOVED it! The ending... I can't even, so cleveeeeeer! Also, I almost cried with AJ's song. And with the 'Also, I don't want to'. It was the best part.
That's our favorite part
This is the best time maschine I have ever seen. It's not that big than others and I really like that.👍👍❤️
+Ami K incredibly travel friendly
Tin Can Brothers totally
This is cracking me up! And then AJ Holmes just showed up on screen?! Awesome!
This. is. amazing! So many references, such quality lyrics, singing, cinematography, acting, everything! Good job. :D
+tiadeets thanks so much! Tell a friend!
Already posted on FB and tagged a friend and there's a blog post prepared for later. ;)
@@tincanbros I've been trying to make all my friends as obsessed with you guys as i am but I moved so it's hard to rant about how awesome you guys are
OH. MY. GOODNESS. THIS WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! THE SONGS, THE ACTING, THE FILMING AND EDITING, THE COSTUME, JUST AAAAAAAARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. This was not a flop.
This is great. AJ Holmes is magic.
This is the most elegant shade I’ve ever seen. Every single thing about this is the best dceu shade while still being incredibly well acted and the story being impeccable.
this is amazing, something like this could only be made by a community like this
I audibly gasped everytime someone I recognized appeared (namely Tessa, Clark and Pierce and especially, AJ!!!)
I’m so in love with Joey’s hair. It looks so soft I just wanna run my fingers all through it.
"Also I don't want to." the best line in the whole short film
AAAAA SO HAPPY TO SEE A.J. WITH YOU GUYS AGAIN
ALSO THIS. The comedy was spot on every time! I LOVED IT
that opening number gave me major "spies are forever" vibes with that chord progression
I really love and appreciate just how much effort you guys go to make everything such a high quality. It really shows and it's probably one of the main reasons I love you guys so much. I loved everything about this short film, from the BEAUTIFUL cinematography, hilarious and excellently written plot to the brilliantly written and choreographed songs. Thank you so so much for this
I can't explain why but this has like. Dr Horrible's Singalong Blog energy
Could it be? Is this the return of the dumpster that starred in Is This a Trash?
famous dumpster is famous
Hello from the future! I was 8 minutes in before I realized this was about Snyder's BvS lol
Oh shit I wasn't expecting A.J. Holmes. This was great.
This... this is the greatest thing I've ever seen. Felt the urge to stand up and clap after it finished
Stop the flop - 3:44
Rich with me - 8:50
Be the hero - 16:55
It’s just a movie - 20:25
3:43 Stop the Flop
8:58 Rich With Me
16:53 Be the Hero
20:26 Just a Movie
23:10 Stop the Flop (Remix)
Everytime I watch it, I am in awe. The music, the shots, the scenes are so well done!
alternative title: if Percy Jackson fans got a time machine
That was so much fun! Great job guys! Loved the story, the songs, the performance... the "names" !!!
But I gotta give it up for the guys who made the fake posters in the background - so good! Where can I get my hands on a Dinoland poster?
But there will always be guys like Schneider...
“See, there will always be guys like me”
My brain: 🎵There will ALWAYS be guys like Schneider🎶
"musicals tell the impossible"- jaime lyn bette- the guy who didnt like musicals. also at 16:26 i notice that he played one of the professors from avpmsy (a very potter musical senior year) and i lost my mind so yeah!!!!!!
20:06 their surnames are Lang and Holden!
I love the attention to detail like the movie posters saying “Dinoland” and “River’s 21”
It’s funny in a subtle way
the clark and peirce cameo gave me *life*
Love this. Love seeing AJ. Love the cameo by TalkFine. Fun times. Good job. Two thumbs up.
My goodness, has this graphic novel author stolen MY HEART?? 😉😉
God, I wish this was a feature length film
The people in Tin can bros and Team Starkid have so much creativity and talent...i am astounded. They don't get enough credit for the credit they give us(sorry had to). Respect and love them sooo much😝
14:22 that "mr harrison" made my heart go soft. that is 100% the voice of a guy who is about to do something he'll regret forever. istant chills.
also as an artist, having harrison saying that he hates is job is such a mood. like. i love drawing. but i hate drawing
spencer in 2017: "there are other things in life worthy of strife-like who becomes the president and how you're gonna pay your rent"
me watching this in November 2020: did they time travel again?
Did you know, if you spend money, you're kids will love you maybe
why does joey always look like someone's dad
Arya K he’s dianes dad 😌
Dammit, I'm a sucker for parody musicals. You guys are the best!!!
A high quality 25 minutes musical about time travel just to say not to be upset about BvS
This was amazing!! I loved the plot and the songs and it's filmed with such high quality honestly I'm so proud of you guys I loved this so so much
TCB and Talk Fine is such a winning combination!!!
Freaking, the cinematography? The music? The acting? I love y'all so much. You're so talented
2:28 black coffee i'm your coffee gal
This is so great for so many reasons. An unexpected appearance by A.J. Holmes was definitely one of them, it made my heart smile. And, Brian and Joey with characters that are 100% relatable; I'm sure so many of /us/ have been there before and that's what's wonderful. VALIDATION. AND, their completely natural performances and chemistry together as friends. With fantastic vocal harmonies, by the way. Well done, well written. Something to for sure watch on repeat! Keep it up, Bros.
Crying at Nick Lang in the opening number 😂😂😂
Just watched this again and I love AJ Holmes so much and also his character in this has the best line, "also I don't want to"
Why wasn't Lauren in Flop Stoppers? *consults farmer's almanac*
2:27 black coffee im your coffee gal-
this is the greatest thing i've ever watched
This was so good! I loved the TalkFine cameo and everything was beautiful: the acting, shots, and music. Guys this was so awesome! I can't wait to see what you come up with next :)
AJ holmes’s song reminded me soooo much of McNamara’s song in Black Friday
"Classic jester..."
"Word. "
Made me laugh so hard! Amazing as always TCB. Talkfine- perfect again!
spencer lang and graham holden??? that's so cute
At least people don't look at you as strangely, as after singing the songs from Spies are forever! (And apart from that it is awesome, but that is just an afterthought:D)
icarly 🤝 flop stoppers
spencer
22:24 is that a fREAKING DISNEY REFERENCE
also i miss and love AJ so much *sobs*
