i do love the increasing panic as they need to sing higher while also coming up with more questions about baseball (“but what about…ball?” is forever lodged inside my brain)
I think about it constantly The idea of someone asking a professional baseball player if they're scared of the ball is the funniest thing on earth to me
I feel like they’ve prevailed with more brutal-and at least it’s “as many as possible” if they tap out cause it’s not possible they have an excuse as to why 💀
I always thought if I ever got a chance to talk to a famous baseball player I would inquire about the insect status of their working environment, I’m glad I’m not alone
If I were to ever meet those lovely people, I'd have to ask: Is it, like, ... hard? Improv I mean. Singing and acting while writing a scene. Seems pretty hard. Without making a mess, but it's always great when done by Zach and Jess.
I was wondering Would they ever get lonely leading skits all by themselves The people know improv and some people can keep up but I was wondering if most of the guests ever feel at home When they are doing mostly musical skits I would like to know why Zach and Jess mostly take the lead for the episode What’s it like?
pssst, get firefox and install ublock origin. if you're on mobile, do the same but additionally disable the youtube app and use youtube through firefox instead. however if you're an apple user- sorry mate, good luck with that 😭😭

@@squidy.tea-png8343 i also love "are you allergic to bats" which... assuming they're talking about the baseball bat. LOL.
having the song gradually rise in key while they’re going up the elevator is so TASTY
SUCH a good detail!
every day i am singing to myself “but what about- ball?”
same
ARE YOU SCARED OF THE BALL-
I like the idea that those two both missed their stop on the elevator to finish the whole song, and then they had to go all the way back down. 😂
that's such a good detail to catch 😂
And while singing the song again, the key gets lower and lower 😂
What about ball? is the sport question of all time. I'm busting this out at every family gathering until the end of time.
😂😂😂
This is the sequel to Mountport
that's EXACTLY what I was thinking omg!
my thought too! Birds and bugs and when it comes to tuna.. just a touch is enough
Whole show is.
Because the protagonist is a baseball player and this protagonist plays baseball.
i do love that on "im not very scared" you can see the real fear on Jess' face as she realizes "i cant go any higher FUCK"
yeah it's absolutely perfect
And then for “baseball I say yes pleaeaeaeeeeaaaaase” she fully manages to break her record
The cut-in of that man exploding a bird with a baseball killed me
thank you! you're the first to mention it, I was worried noone is gonna get/appreciate the randy johnson joke 😭
@@rovermcfly it was my immediate thought when birds and baseball were mentioned together so I was glad to see I wasn't the only one
i quote "But what about ball?" on a daily basis
same
How they all manage to sing different thing at the end with keys changes and it being improv is insane
they're just too damn talented
"As many key changes as possible," is an absolutely brutal improv prompt, even with convention to rely on. It's just asking too much IMO
and yet they deliver, they're just that good
I feel like they’ve prevailed with more brutal-and at least it’s “as many as possible” if they tap out cause it’s not possible they have an excuse as to why 💀
Well that depends on how many key changes you decide are possible. They could have stopped at 2
my favorite moment is when jess turns away to laugh but immediately has to come to back to say "BUGS?!"
I always thought if I ever got a chance to talk to a famous baseball player I would inquire about the insect status of their working environment, I’m glad I’m not alone
the representation you deserve
Literally only just realised the elevator pitch pun in making this song be about baseball.
honestly it took me a while too ngl
A baseball player named Pitch no less
God i love Rashawn's voice
The hesitation before saying “ball” is so freaking funny to me omg 😭😂
Jess's voice scratches that one part in my brain with her first bit
Obsessed with how good of a Hop Along impression she’s got here
"I'm not very scaaaaaared."
*Jess was, in fact, very scared*
I love that the band COULD move the tune back down again at any point, they just refuse to 😂
Oh I love Falsettos
If I were to ever meet those lovely people, I'd have to ask:
Is it, like, ... hard? Improv I mean.
Singing and acting while writing a scene.
Seems pretty hard. Without making a mess,
but it's always great when done by Zach and Jess.
I was wondering
Would they ever get lonely leading skits all by themselves
The people know improv and some people can keep up but I was wondering if most of the guests ever feel at home
When they are doing mostly musical skits
I would like to know why Zach and Jess mostly take the lead for the episode
What’s it like?
This is the musical equivalent to the anxiety one feels when asked questions about their job on the elevator
RANDY JOHNSON EXPLODING BIRD FOOTAGE ALERT 🗣🗣🗣🕊 2:53
thank you for appreciating it!!
They said I couldn’t play baseball
Lol why did he start so high?
he probably asked himself that same question
Dear lord i was trying to watch this and i got an unskippable horror ad at 2am😭
pssst, get firefox and install ublock origin. if you're on mobile, do the same but additionally disable the youtube app and use youtube through firefox instead. however if you're an apple user- sorry mate, good luck with that 😭😭
@@rovermcflyno thanks
I just close and reload the video a bunch until the ads are favorable or gone
@@rovermcflyor install revanced on phone
@@rovermcfly android also can use something like blokada 5 to delete most ads
2:21 when she comes in!! the way she’s singing boss man scratches my brain
Oh my god, this is the most amazing improv song I've seen. I need to do this.
Pitchers are classically not usually great batters
is my scared or allergies, do i have bugs?
Jess mckenna managing to be perfect in everything she does
the woman on the left is incredible i feel like she could do veggie tales lmao
The best song in pibe2, no questions asked
I think this is the second time Jess has been a baseball player in an improvised song
CHAOS (but awesome)
Jess hitting that Frances Quinlan register in the middle for a bit
BUGS?!
Another great question, boss man!
what about em?
The bass is so nice in this
Also 1:56 Jess sounds so much like Frances Quinlan in this one specific part it's throwing me off lmao
Specifically it reminds me of the song Not Abel by Hop Along
Is this the baseball game from falsettos?
At a certain point, this turned into a Jackson Five song.
falsettos looks a little different here…?
Haha I love this
"but what about... ball??" lives rent. free. in. my. mind.
what are the names of the singers?
left to right is rashawn scott, jessica mckenna, and zach reino :)
How well these performers routinely improv entire songs just goes to show that musical theater composers are a bunch of rip-off artists
Where is this song from?
Play It By Ear S2E9 "Elevator Pitch"
The only right answer would be: "from the depths of their weird, fascinating minds"
Full cast?
From left to right: Rashawn Nadine Scott, Jess McKenna, and Zach Reino!
They said I couldn’t play baseball
YOU CANT THROW THAT BALL FAST ENOUGH, GET OUTAA THE FIELD 😅
