"This movie has less stakes than a vegan restaurant" *90's movie slow clap*

"Sister? I thought you were banging.". They are.

my childhood!!!!!!

High School Musical showed me an unrealistic version of what to expect in High School. There was no singing out loud and random dancing in school.

If this year's theme is "kids today", I can't wait to see Snob review Descendants.

Sharpay and her brother looks like a proper live action version of team rocket. Also Jason Mraz called he wants his hat back. Love musical month, stoned gremlin production.

"Oh, my god, this is totes worse than a school shooting!" That pretty much describes the movie.

Apparently High School Musical was originally supposed to be a placeholder name until a better name could be found.

Exclamation point!!

So fun

If I remember correctly, "Sesame Street" also did a parody of this movie in 2008 which they called "Preschool Musical". It was kind of amusing as I recall.

A cinema snob episode ripping apart High School Musical?! BEST LABOR DAY EVAH!!!

The fact that this movie was originally pitched as "Grease 3" makes me cry.

"Hurry up and bang already!....This movie is so wise."

Maybe he will do Camp Rock and Descendants.

Ashley Tisdale ❤️

Speaking of musicals: when will the Grease 2 review return?

20:08 just broke me...😄😄😄😄

The Bad Lip Reading version of this is the best way to view HSM!!

Man, it's surreal seeing Zac Efron back when he was a Justin-bieber-haired tween on Disney Channel

Damn Ted Bundy was charming

I haven't thought of this movie in years. Yet as soon as I saw the title I had waves of flashbacks to elementary school and middle school when this dominated the entire culture like a modern day Star Wars. Times were dark in 2006.

Amazing review of Disney high school musical movie,I was never a fan of the high school musical but kind of a fan of Disney plus high school musical the musical the series.

I remember High School Musical 2 Disney promoted the hell out of it like 24/7.

Cinema Snob going in on High School Musical?! Fuck yes!!😃😁

Say through out the years the cinema snob has been better and all a bit like bless brad jones for this awesome 👏 channel

9:40 I'd totally watch that!

Updated Romeo and Juliet but with a twist - the audience kills themselves

Ngl high school musical is a guilty pleasure of mine, but I loved this episode 😂

"They seem like a couple who would break up right before college" Ah, so Snob has seen HSM 3! Also, actual props brad to finding a musical Friday the 13th. Thats commitment!

i wanna be in the band i wanna be in the band i wanna be in the band

turns 15 today! I missed the premiere on TV But got the dvd later Who knew it would turn into such a phenomenon with merchandise, concert tours, ice shows and theme parks? Musicals did die out for a while but this and movies like Chicago brought them back into the foray Director Kenny Ortega only did a few episodes of ally Mcbeal and Gilmore girls before this movie Catchy songs, bright colors, some new upcoming actors who's careers got launched thanks to this series I'll always be a Vanessa Hudgens fan for life The soundtrack was the best selling album that year and it received the highest tv ratings in history The movie is also a great message about standing out, not sticking to the status quo, and reminding us all we're all in this together, satirizes that mindset even if it is unrealistic A person no matter what clique or social group can have more than 1 talent that defines them Breaking free from your social constraints isn't a bad thing Yes these characters are stereotypes and they're one dimensional but it doesn't mean they're bad actors It's a more squeaky clean version of high school The movie succeeded enough to inspire two sequels, a spin-off series on Disney +, theater productions, and self made videos on RU-vid All 3 movies made over $4 billon in retail sales It's interesting too that even though tweens love it there are a secret number of adult fans as well It's like the grease for the generation during the early 2000s

#TromaIsLiveTromaIsLove

The first time I watched this I thought the last chunk of the movie would be footage of the play. I was really bewildered when the movie ended with yet another audition and didn't show the play at all! That's like a Speed Racer movie with no actual race.

Friday the 13th and Musical March in September, together at last?! YES!!! My War Room prayers finally paid off!

Just like 50 shades I was so excited when the final movie was announced; because we'd never have to see it again.

I need a real life recreation of Brad frolicking like the thumbnail

I watched this movie several times on Disney when it first came out. Two words - Ashley Tisdale.

anyone remember the time they aired HSM with Pop-Up Video-style trivia bubbles? Christ, I'm old.

the HMS series is the only film series that I knopw of to go from 2 tv movies to a 3 one getting a theatrical release and to me that's pretty damn impressive

Oh my god that “After these messages” cut scene made my day!!

Now that's an appropriate sponsor!

I starred as Sharpay in my local youth theatre production of HSM. I have no memory of doing so. This movie will suck your soul straight out ya nose.

My childhood

Working out while watching snob episodes is a really dumb idea. I was doing pushups and was in the middle of pushing up when the line "sister ? I thought you two were banging." Rang into my ear. I obviously collapsed on the spot.

Finally, some real cinema on the show.

ITS THE MOST MAGICAL TIME OF THE YEAR- musical march in September!

I heard that it was recently revealed that the script for this was originally Grease 3. Take that as you will.

This movie was the bane of my life back in high school.

I still know every single song from this movie. I was ten when this came out. I watched it a million times. High School Musical is a part of me.

Zac Efron 🥰

Angry snob reviews are my favorite snob reviews.

I was in kindergarten when this film came out, and I can certainly say that while I still like the music and am thankful for it getting me interested in playing basketball during Phys Ed, nowadays I mostly view HSM as a misleading look at high school - especially in regards to the ending song "We're All in This Together". While the message is uplifting for the most part, it's fake because high school is a giant race to see which student is better, so the idea of overcoming social barriers to become a unified group is virtually impossible due to our current education system being designed to determine which students are better.

Don't tease us with grease 2!

My theater group did a performance of "Get my head in the game" and while it turned out amazing, getting to that point involved a lot of balls in the face

I spent a lot of this holiday weekend drinking and had to do a double take on the title of this episode. I'm sober now, but I was thrown for a loop for a few seconds. No one in my high school liked this movie. Instead, all of the elementary kids were the fans. The early 2000's were a weird time.

I don't know why but I just lost it over the Rubik's Cube joke.

Please do cannibal the musical

Kind a awkward that school shootings have become so common, that you can joke about them whenever there is a movie set in High School.

It's weird that I grew up with High School Musical but seeing Zac Efron not swole as fuck is so alienating to me.

"Back in our day we had an animated Rubik cube show, and it confused all of us!" Snob... I have some Netflix news...

Me, just before 6:35, ... Why are they all dancing like the Harlem Globetrotters? One second later...... LOL

The level of Brad not caring enough about this movie to read signs & remember names is Glorious. o(>t

The actress who plays Sharpay after this becomes The Voice of Candace from Phineas and Ferb.

Well, this is unexpected, so the high school musical series and the Leprechaun series are both on the Cinema Snob unfinished series list.

Brad's doing Disney teen musicals? Of he does Descendants that aneurism in his head may finally explode.

Finally we're done messing around and can get to the true horror stuff.

A movie with 3 sequels and being reviewed by the Cinema Snob is absolutely the only way I'll ever watch any of them.

senior ditch day is still a better love story than high school musical

Here's hoping that Repo: The Genetic Opera is on the slate this year.

High school musical will always have a special place in my heart. I’m 25 now but still enjoy it.

19:38 Well RU-vid’s auto generated subtitles seem to agree with you 🤣

High School Musical, a Mid-2000's classic whether we like it or not. While I didn't watch the first HSM movie (or any of later films) when I was 11, I still have to say it's weird seeing stuff from my childhood and teenhood turning into classics. I know it was bound to happen but it's still strange to see.

Later I realized as well: This is just a modern copy of Grease. A cool boy and a sweet girl meet during the holiday, suddenly they are in the same school, the boy tries to show of his cool, disappoints the girl and at the end they are happy after all. Only the difference is: This movie tells us that we should never have hobbies and only stick to the status quo and be who we suppose to be, never try something new etc., like dancing, baking, playing instruments etc. And let's not forget the Sesame Street version of this movie named "Pre-School Musical". And lets not forget that Zac Efron's singing voice was mixed with some other guy for the movie, therefore another guy was playing Troy in the live shows.

10:27, William Shatner would be proud

I have to give Zac Edson credit for making fun of HSM on SNL when he hosted

Zach Effron's humble beginnings

If we’re doing Disney movies that sum up the awkward hilarity of the 2000s then please consider Max Keeble’s Big Move.

There is something oddly likable about these movies despite the fact that they are not very good. HSM2 has some genuinely good pop numbers in it though.

6:28 - 6:30 (singing voice) Wildcats, Basketball, I'm gonna shoot the ball. (Shoots the ball then misses) I missed the shot, Basketball, I'm gonna shoot again (Shoots the ball then misses) I missed again, I missed again, Gotta get my head in the game.

Damn, even Troma is getting in on the Streaming Wars?

I remember perform HSM at my high school. Christ, the songs just slapped me in the face with oddly fun memories.

Please review Phantasm after Musical March

After seeing the film grease, I noticed some similarities to that.

Do Humongous., You can do plenty of jokest on that,

Bollywood, Friday the 13th and Snob? What a perfect combination. How lucky we are to live in this magical time.

This movie was my childhood so to see cinema snob review this is so weird and so exciting.

I know it's a good Monday when I get both a Cinema Snob episode and a Musical Hell episode! Ah, High School Musical, my favorite guilty pleasure! Used to watch the Dance along version!

I’m within the age group that this was for (I was 10 when it came out) and probably was one of the only kids who didn’t see it when it premiered. I remember for literally months after, that’s all anyone talked about or sang. I just couldn’t get into it, I didn’t understand it... I wanted to watch my Friday the 13th boxset that I’d gotten with my Christmas money lol. There was actually a free day we had that year where we could go to the classroom across the hall if we’d finished some project and watch HSM. I was the only kid that wasn’t over there and I wasn’t upset AT ALL 😅🤷🏼‍♂️ But you’re totally right... the mid-2000s were silly.

"Did you ever feel like there's this whole different person inside of you just looking for a way to come out?" DING! DING! DING! We have our school shooter and just in time for the dance auditions

This is the funniest cinema snob episode I've seen In a while

Fun fact, the kids acting out the lyrics won a competition for the worst choreographed dance.

Only the Snob could make this movie watchable.

Did no one watch the Bad Lip Reading version of this movie? Thier names are Chorky and Lumpkinella, and no ones gonna tell me otherwise.

I wonder how long before Daddy Disney strikes this video?

Soooooo... Brad's gotta do Descendants, right?

3:09 HOLY SHIT IT'S SKINNY TED BUNDY!

It’s September! How did I forget what that means!!! 👍🏻😜🎶
