HAMILTON ISN'T EVEN THE MAIN CHARACTER?? 

the complete silence during the incredibly emotional finale just cut with "he missed" made me laugh so hard i had a headache after LMAO

Lin Manuel Miranda actually hinted that Hamilton saying “Macbeth” has meaning to it. Cause as soon as he says it, the next song is “Say No To This”, and his life starts to fall apart.

This is what “boys will be boys” should mean

I don't think Lin is a bad singer, he's definitely very capable but everyone else is just god tier vocalists LOL

Crying laughing at the idea of white suburban high school kids delivering the line “Immigrants we get the job done!” to complete silence in the audience

I have never wanted to buy a full commentary track more than now

For anyone who hasn’t brought the track yet, can confirm it’s almost 3 hours of Eric praising Leslie Odom Jr every time he’s on the screen for more than 3 seconds. It’s great.

They all drank their “Respect Leslie Odom Jr.” juice and I’m proud

"miles doesnt know theres a song thats not in the cast recording" me: "MILES NOOOOOO!!!"

THE LESLIE ODOM JR RESPECT IN THIS TRACK SUSTAINS ME. HE REALLY DESERVED HIS TONY

It’s insane that Eliza’s gasp still makes me cry even with people goofing over top of it

Just now realizing that Anthony Ramos singing “I died for him” in the beginning is valid for both his characters because Laurens died for Hamilton’s dream of a revolution and Phillip died for and due to the advice of his father.

This channel is the embodiment of what its like to watch movies with the boys.

Bro when they said "hmbmhhhdbmmmguns!" "LAFAYETTE!" I felt that

Eric saying “this is the best/my favorite part” every time Angelica is singing... iconic king

The Leslie Odom Jr. appreciation in this video is so strong that I have to tell this story... In 9th grade, when I was in a huge Hamilton phase, my English teacher told me that she was going to see Leslie perform somewhere in Maine, and I got super jealous because I immediately knew I couldn't go. So, my teacher told me to draw Aaron Burr so she could give it to Leslie after the performance. The day after, my teacher told me she gave Leslie the drawing, and he wrote this in the little booklet, "I loved my drawing, Abby. You're so talented! XO - Leslie" A lot of people see Leslie Odom Jr. as a singer, an actor, or Aaron Burr, but I see him as a really talented guy that liked my drawing. I felt so complete and happy!! EDIT: Yo! I just graduated from high school, and as a present, my mom and I are gonna see Hamilton in November!!! This is my first time going to Broadway! Even though I'm out of my Hamilton phase, and even if the original cast isn't gonna perform, it's still super exciting!! It's gonna be a bizarre but fun nostalgia trip to be sure! EDIT 2: HOLY SHIT I FORGOT TO UPDATE THIS AFTER I SAW IT, but hey I still saw it! It was great! Everybody looked like they were having such a good time on stage, and even if there was a flub or a laugh from a cast member or two, but they just kept going and kept it professional! I think if I was much younger and was able to see it live, I would have loved it much much more, but it was still a fun time nonetheless. That's all from me!

The way you cut out Hamilton’s pre-death speech so seamlessly 😂

THE HAM CAM DURING ITS QUIET UPTOWN GIVES OFF MAJOR BOY BAND VIBES I LOVE IT LOL

"What if they cut to an audience member like 'wow!'" (5:30) “They strapped a go pro to Lin.” (9:46) “Me after I crash my car." (10:02) “War is pretty cool, huh?” (10:35) "Musicals are fucking cool, man." (13:28) "The cast of Wicked rioted." (15:16) "Peggy - Whore." (15:38) Some of my favorite Miles quotes.

When Phillip gets shot, his opponent shoots early, before the count of 10. Phillip says sorry to Eliza ‘for forgetting what you taught me’ because she taught him how to count. Phillip thinks he counted too slow, and thinks he failed what she taught him, so he thinks he’s at fault for getting shot

"she's facing away, now she's facing him-" "OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

as someone who doesn’t have any friends that are into musical theater/musical movies these commentary tracks are incredibly comforting

I always liked that they dramaticized Phillip's duel because in real life they stood and stared at each other for a literal minute before Phillip lifted his gun and Eacker was like "I guess I'll shoot you then"

The video should be called: 'The boys being in love with Leslie Odom Jr. for 23 minutes'

The reason Eliza is dressed in black at Phillips death was because she just got back from Peggy's funeral

The simple “He missed.” had me in tears. Funniest thing I’ve heard in months

“NO DONT CHANGE THE SUBJECT” *”OH MY GOD”* “CUZ YOURE MY FAVORITE SUBJECT”

"he died in the wings" And then I wheezed because I pictured george washington walking offstage after stepping down and immediately start coughing blood

Wait for It comes up and me getting ready to sing my lungs out then suddenly: "bEiNG aLiVEeeEe" "..."

I did not realize, but this is the track I've been waiting for. Hell yea.

"I have a loaded gun on my nightstand in case the theater never reopens" is how im going into 2021

I think Lin being the weakest voice suits the show though, like Hamilton is meant to be less refined than the others. Love you guys!!

the highlights have confirmed what i suspected all along. namely that i need to buy the full track

"ok the cast party's at lin's mom's house" dude that killed me

Favorite line Eliza: "Look around, look around, at how lucky we are to be around right now" "Me after I crash my car..."

also it's interesting because when hamilton says "macbeth" immediately after, everything goes wrong for him. he cheats on his wife, he is shunned by the entire community, his son dies, and he hits rock bottom :)

just like Hamilton, these twerk-a-longs will never get old

This is the first commentary track I bought and it just showed me how much Eric actually cuts and how much of the funny we miss with the highlights. Highly recommend this track. Also, thank you to Eric because he puts so much effort into editing these highlight videos and makes them so enjoyable. I didn’t understand how much work truly went into them until I compared the two

”if we stop singing we all die!” TGWDLM: *nods in making the world a musical*

I gasped when I saw this!

When the real Philip Hamilton died his sister basically had a psychic breakdown and never recovered. She regressed and had to be taken care of for the rest of her life.

lin actually very cleverly gets around saying “macbeth” in the theatre. the legend says you can say the character name but not the name of the show, so he says the character name instead of the name of the play!

Can we please get a twerk along Phantom of the Opera. I would actually shit 😭♥️

That whole "me after I crash my car" has taken a whole new meaning for me now I wound up spinning out while driving home [ironically I was listening to The Schuyler Sisters while driving], and ended up in a ditch completely fine! Look around, Look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now!!

I absolutely love the theory that at the end, lin is not playing Hamilton, he's playing himself, he is taking Eliza by the hand and showing her the audience and that he told her story.

"And when our children twerk our story, they'll twerk the story of tonight."

Alternative title: 'Four twerkin' boys simp over Burr'

Every time The Showmen get together you know it's gonna be a great vid.

Why is it I just got out of my Hamilton phase and then this is in my recommended

"I have a loaded gun on my nightstand just in case the theater never reopens" I was not ready for that holy hell i lost it

As a theatre nerd with no theatre nerd friends, I love listening to these tracks because I'm not the only one screaming along to the lyrics.

I was singing along so hard and it felt so fun cause none of my mates are into Hamilton, so this felt like watching Hamilton with the boys. Also, first video of this channel I've watched and it's hilarious.

Damn, hearing Miles realize Laurence died is like when you show the movie to one of your friends that doesn't know anything about the story...

after watching the insane almost 3 hour long full commentary yesterday and then watching this i am again so impressed by ur ability to edit together that footage it’s incredible ,, either way both versions are SO great

every time they rapped into the camera throwing up gang signs it reminded me of like a 90's/2000's music video and made me laugh so hard. Plus, why am I not surprised that Eric's favourite song is the Schuyler Sisters????

Phillipa's in black because in the scene, she's supposed to have just returned from Peggy's funeral, and she actually started crying after her scream, so that part isn't actually acting; it's partially why she kept her head down.

The absolutely deserved respect and appreciation y’all gave to Leslie Odom Jr. during this gives me so much serotonin. Dude is unbelievable.

I just pissed a lot at the “This is like Kingdom Hearts.” line 7:00

The main charector is his wife. She’s the narrator telling his story. It’s not even named after Alexander Hamilton but his wife! I hope I just blew someone’s mind

15:11 - Hamilton had said before he said MacBeth, “I trust you understand this reference to another Scottish Tragedy without my having to name the play” meaning he said the name MacBeth rather than the show. Which is apparently different because it only counts if you directly say the name of the play rather than the character MacBeth. Pretty interesting tbh.

i feel like Hamilton getting the title even with it being Burr's story just adds to what he took from him

The beastie boys cam hits different

"He missed" has the same energy as "you're in the bike lane" for me

"kill the bad guys!" me (british) very uncomfortable with the energy in the studio today

Few things hit harder than 🎶 the orrrphanageee 🎶 - INSTANT cry for me every time, I've got to skip it on the soundtrack lol

Can we talk about the IMMACULATE editing?? This is the content I come to youtube for 😄

As to the Burr jump thing: When I saw the show in Chicago (with Wayne Brady as Burr, incredible also) during Room Where It Happens they timed the jump wrong and he literally fell off the table. As a theatre kid, terrifying, but then the show swept me away again lol.

Lin's cry singing sounds like he's trying to not yawn

This was the first commentary track I bought, and I am amazed. I laughed, I cried, I twerked. Thank you.

In every Pretty Much It video there's at least one banger of a joke that comes out of nowhere and just really knocks me out of my seat and for this track it was definitely "OH MY GOD, IT'S LIKE KINGDOM HEARTS" That had me in stitches.

Props to Eric for actually editing the songs to the beat, so smooth, amazing job my man

the boys twerking as the cast took their bows is the funniest shit i've ever seen

fun fact: the laurens interlude has the only speaking parts in the whole musical. which is.. not fun per say, but it's something

That “He missed” line was comedy gold, along with everything that came after

So the thing about Lin's voice in Hamilton is that he's almost brought back the Baritone singer style in theatre. He's surrounded in this world of tenors and he's the odd one out. I think he knows he's not a particularly good singer, but that's part of the charm of the play

To make everyone cry when Philip apologies to Eliza hes apologizing because he thought he didnt count right even though Eaker shot on 7

"me after i crash my car" I SPIT OUT MY WATER

Despite Burr's expression and some of his lyrics in the musical, he actually never regretted shooting Hamilton. He thought he deserved it.

The Macbeth lore is where you can't say the show title, but you can say the character name. Which is what makes the line "I trust you'll understand to another Scottish tragedy with out me having to name the play, they think me Macbeth...." so brilliant.

The deadpan “He missed.” is sending me

time for my favorite hamilton story: when i got the insane privilege of seeing it live on tour, there was an old lady in front of me who clearly couldn’t hear well. it was completely fine, we could just hear the person next to her explaining the show to her every now and then. completely fine, except: in the silent moment of wait for it right before it explodes into sound, with all the tension in it, the old lady said very loudly “WHO IS THAT ONE?” and i about pissed myself laughing.

"and NO DONT CHANGE THE SUBJECT" "oh my god" IM CRYING

Because of this video "me after i crash my car" has never left my head

Wanna cry even harder? In the final duel, Hamilton DID “throw away his shot” and Burr DIDN’T “wait for it.” 😳😭

Eric saying The Schuyler Sisters is his fav song just goes to show he has the best music taste.

I rewatch this one a LOT and Andrew making a pouty face behind everyone else at 19:50 never fails to get me

8:37 I've watched this commentary so many times I sometimes forget wait for it doesn't have Eric screaming "YEAAAHHH" over top of it😂😂

i gotta say that the showman commentary tracks are my favorites

the fact that the schuyler sisters is your favorite song is EVERYTHING. i don't know what else i really expected

i've been singing "the schuyler sisters" randomly throughout my day for the past week and a half, and i always find myself singing "twerk, twerk! the schuyler TWERKERS!" so, thank you for that! and thank you for this commentary that i keep coming back to at least every other day. ☺️

"A musical in pop punk style.." Me : *Stares at American Idiot the Musical and the time Billie Joe Armstrong showed up to preform in his own musical*

We need the ham cam for every commentary track, not just Hamilton

This track: Leslie Odom Jr. appreciation hour

20:32 looks like Lin is laughing at the joke instead of crying

When all four of them got all up in the "Beastie Boys Cam®" during Quiet Uptown, I lost my shit!!!

This may be the first PMI track I buy, as a hamilton stan I need this.

Hamilton’s kind of like the social network- Hamilton is Mark, Aaron burr is Eduardo, and Thomas Jefferson is Sean Parker

21:23 THIS BROKE MY HEART OML I DIDNT EVEN REALIZE

“the cast of wicked rioted” is an all time pmi quote

“i have a loaded gun on my nightstand just in case the theatre never reopens” based.
