Why WORKIN' BOYS Works So Well 

they did so well with this and Nightmare Time music videos that I'd love to see more off-stage projects from them

They actually want to make a Hatchetfield movie, the current idea is that it's set around the Hatchetfield Community Players (Zoey and co), and a murder mystery at a cast party!!

What is this business?

When Jeff Blim is given a target, he never misses, also the costume design in this was incredible considering they reuse already developed Hatchetfield characters in the audience

@@Undeniably_Idiotic nick lang did the costumes, that man is a great designer. nick also did the costumes for trail to oregon, which is my favorite starkid show. have you watched it? its basically "Jeff Blim: The Musical "

I’ve seen a bunch of people saying this and I agree! Hidgens is such an interesting role that actors can interpret differently, even just for one performance of a song. The people I’ve seen mentioned that would excite me the most are James Tolbert and Jae Hughes

That sounds like so much fun, perhaps it may be some Lords in Black trickery as to why he keeps looking different

having that sweet sweet character development always makes the killing spree more intriguing at the end

I'm glad that we agree before even knowing what the point was

The Hero of Hatchetfield

I saw something where it says that grace will always, save the day in every one of her appearances but, in doing so the rest of hatchetfield is at danger from her.

Virginia Vass is one of those performers that is so good that it doesn't matter what role you put them in, their talent shines through, also all the "Workin' Bo- I mean girls" jokes were my favourite also

being compared to Jeff Blim and Professor Hidgens is the highest honour, thank you very much!

Loved as much as Quirrelmorts and Starkid? That is very high praise thank you so much!

oh my goodness! i would like to second this lol, what a great video!

a parody of the office that's filmed in the office from TGWDLM with Paul, Bill, Ted and the others would be the most incredible thing ever

@@Undeniably_Idiotic Drop Dead Gorgeous but it’s the Honey Queen pageant

Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou gonna go put Two Week's Notice on loop right now!

Ahem... there's been some minor changes, it's been retitled as Workin' Girls

​@@Undeniably_Idiotictop 10 most unespected changes 🦐

After what was shown in Honey Queen I believe Workin' Boys is always destined to be changed to Workin' Girls

@@Undeniably_Idiotic You know what? I bet some time years after Hidgens is dead a Broadway producer rediscovers the script for Workin' Girls and the critics describe it as, like, "A brilliant satire of patriarchy, highlighting the absurdity of how men perceive both the opposite sex and their own, and simultaneously a biting rejection of the 'Girlboss' who steps into a leadership role but enforces the exact same hierarchies a man would in the same position." I hope Hidgens is awarded a posthumous Tony Award, specifically by a panel of judges that consider the inverted gender dynamics to be the heart of the whole show.

​@@booxmowo2684 The final insult upon his dream

​@@booxmowo2684 Knowing Hidgens, he would probably consider it the biggest insult to his very existence

oh ☹

wait is this actually true or is this a joke i havent watched the vid yet

@HelloThere-dl5dl It's true. We don't really talk about him in the Starkid fandom anymore.

Ironically, sounds like something Hitchens would have done.

as someone who saw the whole situation unfold in real time, i think starkid handled it pretty well. they just immediately fired the guy, ignored his comments and they just dont mention him anymore. pretty sure all the actors cut ties with him too.

That version seems absolutely wild! Glad they went for the more Hidgens centric story though, it does tie in with the Witch in the Web Nightmare Time story though, would've been a lot to keep up with in such a short amount of time

also one really cool scene that matt talked about was near the end, wilbur cross reaches into stanley’s guts, pulls out a bunch of maggots and says “you’re a daddy, stanley!! you’re the father of flies!!”, just felt like adding!!!

​@@underscorekaywhat the fuck that's horrible 😭 i love it

ah yes, Jeff Blim's eyes do convey fear and longing in the exact same way

that is a very interesting take, wonder what the meeting between him and Chad would've looked like

yeah I was a bit confused by Chad being interpreted as a looming threat in this video, it rly just seemed like another tune in the siren's call already taking place with the boys being there. Pokey knows how to work up a crowd, after all.

Really hope they do more short film musicals like this, especially after also seeing the music videos they made for Nightmare Time!

Nick said that if they ever did nmt3 they’d make it in more of a short film sort of thing so they could use special effects and stuff which would be really cool!

Some things are more than coincidence, they are meant to be! Hope you enjoy!

-music plays- lets go girls...

Every time the clock strikes 5 o' clock... Chad could be right there ready to strike, and you'd never know...

Sensei Bill and his student reunite once more

What if starkid made a bill and Ted's excellent adventure parody with Bill and Ted from the guy who didn't like musicals

@@selenamcmahan9234 a Time B@st@rd serquel? Bill tries to free Ted from the toy box

I believe that's to do with the original plan for the Workin' Boys script where the performance was a ritual to summon the Lords in Black or something, it's very wild and I still can't get my head around that version of the script yet

On one hand if you aren't familiar with the characters then the references would be lost on people, then on the other hand introducing all the characters in one place generates intrigue about who they all are!

@@Undeniably_Idiotic And it stays true to Starkid tradition of having multiple different characters played by the same actors, thus making it feel more like a genuine production

The short film was so much fun to watch!

@@Undeniably_Idiotic I SAW IT BACK IN OCTOBER FOR THE HALLOWEEN STREAM I LOVED IT BACK THEN !!!!

Though the original plan for it sounded so good i wish there was a timeline where we could see that

@@Sillylilgrill will have to take a look back at how the idea developed and changed over time

@@Undeniably_Idiotic Ill give you a rough summary so you don’t have to scour the internet for it, so the original plan for working boys was a 1 hour 30 minute movie that would feature the characters Emma perkins, becky barnes, wilbur cross, hidgens of course and stanley becky’s husband who she killed in black friday. the films plot involved workin boys being changed to workin girls (like in the final product) which was a ploy by wilbur cross who was the producer in order to sacrifice someone to the lords in black, the summoning song from npmd was originally from workin boys which was changed as workin boys became a more self contained story. Also about stanley he would serve as a secondary antagonist mostly towards becky who he would torment becky due to him wanting control of her and not wanting her to do anything without him. In the movie Stanley has a breakdown the matt lang described as making hey mellisa look like “light fluff” which sounds so interesting. the ending was incredibly different with hidgens being rewarded for wrecking the show unintentionally saving becky from being sacrificed, for this he is rewarded by being sent to a reality where the working boys are alive and he got to spend time with his boyfriends im pretty sure webby sent him to this reality if im not mistaken. Matt and Nick said they changed this as “Hidgens had to ruin his own show” and hence the ending of hidgens going crazy. Oh and stanley would meet his demise by wilbur cross transporting him into a body that was dead so he was unable to move unable to do anything but feel his body getting devoured by maggots, throughout thr play stanley had been constantly talking about wanting to be a father and as his body is being eaten from the inside by maggotswilbur cross whispers in his ear “You got your with stanley you wanted to be a father and now you are, a father to flies”. sorry for rambling i just loved this version i got all this information from part 2 of the 12 hour Cinderella’s castle livestream

Thank you very much, it means so much to us to read comments like this!

the ghosts also resemble Max Jagerman reanimated and the axeman from abstinence camp so perhaps there are other forces at play

Aladdin and the Trail to Oregon father are also some of my favourites from him

Perfect timing! Hope you enjoy!

Welcome, welcome, expect much more to come in the future!

Workin Boys was above all else, really fun to watch

WHAT IS THIS BUSINESS?

That is very impressive! It is short enough to get through in a shorter time frame and their are some moments that do really give me a lil brain itch that I am in love with, especially when the music kicks in as Ted gets shot!

that's a really good point, on one hand the mystery of what's going on can be enjoyed on its own and the other, being dropped in the middle of a pre established world causes you to delve into the rabbit hole of the series. However, that doesn't change the fact that it was written with the assumption that you already know the characters from previous musicals similar to marvel movies

really glad that you enjoyed so much!

Sometimes we just know these things about people

@@Undeniably_Idiotic you a psychic bruh
