The Musical Theater Episode! 

Rachel plays this game the way I watch this game.

are you aware you share your name with one of my favourite musical writers? because you do

thats just how theater kids are

GET IN THE COMMENTS

I'm pretty sure Brennan is fact checking

But yet....im still in the comments

theater nerds don't fuck around

@Lady Seashell Bikini just wait till you meet the techies. All the theatre nerd extraness, and all the vanilla nerd anxiety. Drinking with us is wild.

@@tomlaptain646 it’s WILD once like 2-3 strong drinks are in people’s systems 🥂

@@tomlaptain646 Don't forget all the pent up aggression from seeing actors do things like touch other people's props.

They’re like gremlins. Not threatening when there’s only a few, but in a group they could kill a man.

@@jacobbarker4180 I love that the fear behind techies is that it takes a whole group of them to kill one man. XD

i feel you, i clicked this video assuming i would be able to play along. i new maybe 3 questions total.

yep same lol

Same here.

Same here hahaha

Saaaaaaaaaaame!

Are you sure that Grant lived in New York? It would be nice if he could clarify that by providing anecdotes of his time there.

He's the irl version of Monica Rambeau in Nextwave: "This never happened when I led the Avengers." "Will you shut up about that?!"

@@71705558a wewf4r4rr3r

Wait...Grant lived in New York?! Absurd. Next you’ll tell me that Kirk lived in Japan

He reminds me of that little girl from the Magic School Bus who always says “this isn’t how we did things at my old school!” An annoyance

She has definitely made this episode far more entertaining than any of the other um actually epsiodes

@@Awestruckhero21 I would like to offer a rebuttal citing any episode with Brennan. That's right. I'm in the comments.

Now i wanna see an episode with Rachel, brennan and joan. That would be incredible

@@amyoakAnimation How dare you! But honestly...can we get a 'go fund me' to solidify rules, film pilots, provide mid-tier cash prizes, and pitch this show to a top 5 streaming service? This is pop culture Jeopardy that makes me feel like the wasted parts of my life haven't been wasted on just enjoying myself, and it needs to exist for at least the entire back half of my lifespan on a much bigger scale than RU-vid or Dropout. I mean, I don't even care about Broadway and this episode is great. Granted, all the guests have chemistry, and that's hard to replicate 'game show style' but I can't help but think this was college humor's million dollar idea.

@@adamchristensen8566 As much as I would love that to become a reality, I do think that you'd lose something when you take away the "chilling with friends on the couch" vibe. And it'd be almost impossible to keep that with a competition where prizes are on the line.

Wierdly the Halloween one came out on RU-vid first, and referenced this one

Um, actually...it's Jason Voorhees.

I think I read this same (or similar) comment on the halloween episode on youtube. Was that you? Anyways, it made me look forward to this episode.

Where do they post the episodes first? I'm only new to it but it's amazing shit, huh?

Dropout is the college humour streaming platform, they got a load of stuff on it, but notably episodes of um, actually

Mention pizza near a New Yorker and be prepared to hear a rant about how New York's water, weather or other small peculiarity gives them an edge over other pizza styles.

Confirmed Grant is the Britta of the College Humor cast.

@@themastermason1 Buffalo still has better pizza

@@stoutyyyy Utica

@@jasonflay8818 well I suppose they need something since Albany took their steamed hams

It would have made me so happy if there was the silence, and then the episode abruptly ended without anyone responding

The timing of the editing was so good. Cutting to a close-up during the pause.

Better yet would have been getting a point. If we're being honest. Then silence and cut.

It's even better because hes not correct. It's only called crew in the US.

@@electric.nachos well, that is where they live, where the show is shot, and where the scandal being referenced took place lmao. so he is correct

Omg I kept thinking that lol

@@corinne6523 paj two-fife-tee-eight

Ugh, Britta is in this?

Literally omg I was just watching community u read my mind

Died *to the outside world, yes.

I was like, 'how is she dead? I follow her on twitter?'

what play did she write?

@@melancholymyth Midsummer Nights

@@melancholymyth A beautiful musical called Midsummer Nights, a modern take on Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Recordings of the performance are very rare because some craziness involving a mirror that apparently happened on opening night made it impossible for more shows to happen.

I was about to say the same thing 😂

I'm convinced that the only reason he gave the point for the rent question is because he was scared of rachel 🤣

Any show host's worst fear is a contestant who comes on and acts so aggressively like they're not having a good time that they start to make everyone else uncomfortable.

She has the Izzy Roland "I will cut you if you don't give me the point" energy

@@jerodast Agreed. Her ultra-competitive-ness was most likely the reason why Siobhan said she didn't feel great about it. It spoiled the episode for me, too.

She had a show so she had to be up to date on that stuff.

I have, that’s why I’m tickled by it.

@@JacksonBockus The fact her show was network TV *really* stretched the creative bounds they had to work within, both insofar as copyright is concerned but also insofar as FCC compliance, too.

Anyone who can do musical comedy is a safe bet for one of the most talented people you'll ever meet.

So here's the thing about that. There was at least one more error than was picked out which I will have to rewatch to find, but it always bothered me that no one brings it up because it's super basic. I can't remember which panel, but at one point someone either takes two actions in a turn without haste, or casts two non-cantrip spells without quicken spell metamagic. Edit: upon reviewing the episode, it's the pit fiend, it can either cast hold monster or use its multi-attack in a turn, not both. In addition, he was recalling the 3.5E stat block for pit fiends that are immune to non-magical attacks. 5E pit fiends are fully affected by silvered weapons and only resistant, not immune, to non-magical attacks

Um actually,he earned 1 point as everyone does with every question. Not multiple points. All questions including shiny questions only reward 1 point as said in that particular episode that even though he masterfully nailed it,he only got a single point just like the star wars prequel guess answer Murph had earlier in said episode (which they did say specifically in the same exact episode)

@@caimantroup6986also I don’t think anyone mentions Hold Monster being cast on a Goliath? When it should be Hold Person.

@@MattieSheldonTheRU-vidr The confusion is understandable, but Hold Monster is just a better version of Hold Person that takes a higher spell slot level and is still fully functional against people, it just has the added function of working against monsters and has a higher DC to resist.

@@caimantroup6986 oh you’re right! I never knew that! I need to read my spells more carefully

I think he just is confident

Dude practically has every STD known to man, except herpes and the Big “A” (which is acne).

SYPHILIS?

Oh no don't remind me 😭😭

Or as Rachel calls it, “Jazz Fever”

Don't forget about the dildo incident

I've watched this so many times.. but yeah.. that was a great part! hahaha it made no sense in the actual game, but it made sense in the concept of the game..!

Rachel looking genuinely annoyed whenever a lot of other stuff happened was also many parts

We are. Only some of us are embarrassed about it.

Oh we are.

Of course

They are

Yes.

Um actually on a regular episode they’re tested on literally anything from comics to board games to movies to video games to tv shows, and not just one category, if we’re splitting hair I would say that an episode focusing on just one subject is considerably less difficult than a regular episode

@@cecille5833 I think they mean there are themed episodes where people are often just guessing

HONESTLY AS A SUTTON FOSTER STAN I WAS LIKE “yes that’s my girl”

The irony of that Sutton concert that has since surfaced though 😬😂

That's so funny yo

I got it so quick I was in pain when it was wrong twice

Do you know what metaphor is?

UM ACTUALLY, I was literally forming this argument in my head. When they say “This is Urinetown” it’s like saying “This is hell/death” or worse than that. Little Sally also has a line where she says “Urinetown is your town if you’re hopeless, down and out.” Which means that Urinetown can’t be a place, because it’d be everywhere. It’s merely a state of being. Also Lockstock says “There is no Urinetown, we just kill people!”

Ah my favorite musical!

Since I'm not a native English speaker, I've always wanted to ask if there's a play on words between urinetown and You're-in-town. 'Cause that would make her be right. But maybe it doesn't sound that close to a native ear

@as a native speaker, id say it definitely sounds close enough to be a play on words. but i haven't seen the musical so i can't actually answer the other part of the question😅

jackson this is the worst thing i've ever read. thank you

Oh my God it's hideous I love it

Joseph’s subpar monochromatic nightmarecoat

Josephine's subpar monochromatic nightmarepants

Same here

The word "created" irked me too, but I thought maybe it's theater-speach for being first to play a role...

Thank you I was screaming at my TV. I was like "well, they are clearly going for the "Picture" thing but the Tim Curry thing is wrong too" that I didn't even notice they called Transylvania a planet.

Yeah it’s a common thing in theatre for the first person to play a role to be said to have “created” that role because they’re the first to personify and inspire the interpretations that come later. It’s not really meant to detract credit from the writer(s) it’s just one of those silly theatre things. But I can totally understand wanting O’Brien to get all the credit he so rightfully deserves!

I'm not a theater guy but I have heard that term a few times for first actor to play the role on stage. As I understand it just a theater specific term of art you have to read differently than the usual TV show creator or general creator role.

Yes, its a theatre thing. "Creating" a role means you are the first person to play that role. No, I dont know why.

I don’t know what I find funniest, the thought that you didn’t change the high school setting or the implication that the 80s are the opposite of the 50s

The leads should be played by pre-teens.

Um, actually, I just started reading "The History of Superglue." I can't put it down!

@@Mr.Monacle 30 years apart from each other

I was wanting everyone to groan and yell out “we knoooooow!”

There's no question being asked at that timestamp, and her face isn't anything special. I think you must have meant some other time in the video.

@@KelpTheGreatI think it might’ve been 22:00

It’s the other half of the phantom mask

Also it’s replacing the Ninja Turtle mask that’s usually displayed with the two blades.

Theater is very cutthroat

Same vibes as my acting professor who texted me one day and asked if I'd heard of a game called Borderlands because "he'd just done a few voices for the next [third] one," and "the game seemed to be a big deal." Sounds narcissistic summarized like this, but this man doesn't have a narcissistic bone in his body, I promise--he genuinely did not know that Borderlands is a triple-A game

@@calihoyer1415 Any cool characters he voiced?

Huh?? Who is he?!

And Audrey has teef (with braces😂) and Joseph’s dream coat is monochrome

@Zenhunter141Because Raph’s sai usually have a different turtle’s mask displayed with them, although I don’t know TMNT well enough to say which one.

It's a shame he didn't have any stories about baggles.

this is mixing several things in my head that shouldve stayed apart

I know it's late, but I just realised that There is a second umm actually. Elder Price also had guilt about stealing a donut and blaming his brother, Jack.

Um , Actually is great that way, I know nothing about berd culture as a while but I still love watching this show

The Moment Is Me

@Lady Seashell Bikini Oh I am so sorry hun! I feel ya. I was going to see Cats with my father, sister and best friend (I had been waiting 10 years for a tour to pass by Québec), Fiddler (was cancelled and refunded) and the tour revival of Notre-Dame de Paris (with my grandmother, who had seen the original tour with Garou in the year of my birth, 1998) We don't get a lot of tours in Québec, but that year I was supposed to see a couple + some ballet and opera shows that I wanted to see. So I am also pretty upset. It is killing the arts, down here. Quebec... we lost so many people who were working behind the scenes and on stage because of the pandemic. I am heartbroken and very bitter about how relieved I felt for opting for a communications degree rather than continuing higher education in theatre.

There’s a part two on dropout. Grants the only returning challenger

Well, I have good news for you today! (Though i would also love for Rachel to come back)

Why do people hate rent?

@@flimdud9576 if you're interested in an actual good answer to that, i'd recommend lindsay ellis' video on the topic

@@flimdud9576 though off the top of my head the notorious biphobia might be the biggest single factor turning grant, noted bisexual, off the show. that and... shitty writing

It was a correction not really a joke I'd say?

Yeah even though I've seen this episode before that was what my mind went to this time, the cabinet is one of those many things that is a long standing institution in our government but not actually specifically written out in any sense in the constitution

he brought it up again in a recent episode of dirty laundry! (if you haven’t seen it) it was a high school show and during the production he accidentally talked shit about the pianist while his mic was hot in the theater, causing the hired adult pianist to fully quit during tech week. sounds like pure chaos.

Honestly she seemed like on a different wavelength than any other player I've seen on this show.

​@@jerodast In a good or a Bad way

None of this is a CH thing, dropout is independent now

YES!! Tragically underappreciated show. But there’s talk of bringing it back to the Old Vic in the next season! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Yeah it's a change from Mike asking a question about something no one on the couch ever heard about, all three knew about all the plays mentioned in every question

Oh yeah? You wanna fight? **snaps menacingly**
