- The End of The Movie
Starring Josh Groban
Featuring Rachel Bloom
SO THIS IS THE END OF THE MOVIE
WHOA WHOA WHOA
BUT REAL LIFE ISN’T A MOVIE
NO NO NO.
YOU WANT THINGS TO BE WRAPPED UP NEATLY
THE WAY THAT STORIES DO.
YOU’RE LOOKING FOR ANSWERS
BUT ANSWERS AREN’T LOOKING FOR YOU.
BECAUSE LIFE IS A GRADUAL SERIES OF REVELATIONS
THAT OCCUR OVER A PERIOD OF TIME
IT’S NOT SOME CAREFULLY CRAFTED STORY
IT’S A MESS AND WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE.
IF YOU SAW A MOVIE THAT WAS LIKE REAL LIFE
YOU’D BE LIKE “WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT MOVIE ABOUT?”
IT WAS REALLY ALL OVER THE PLACE
LIFE DOESN’T MAKE NARRATIVE SENSE.
NUHUH
WE TELL OURSELVES THAT WE’RE IN A MOVIE.
WHOA WHOA WHOA
EACH ONE OF US THINKS WE GOT THE STARRING ROLE.
ROLE ROLE ROLE.
BUT THE TRUTH IS SOMETIMES YOU’RE THE LEAD
AND SOMETIMES YOU’RE AN EXTRA
JUST WALKING BY IN THE BACKGROUND
LIKE ME,
JOSH GROBAN!
BECAUSE LIFE IS A GRADUAL SERIES OF REVELATIONS
THAT OCCUR OVER A PERIOD OF TIME
SOME THINGS MIGHT HAPPEN THAT SEEM CONNECTED
BUT THERE’S NOT ALWAYS A REASON OR RHYME
PEOPLE AREN’T CHARACTERS
THEY’RE COMPLICATED
AND THEIR CHOICES DON’T ALWAYS MAKE SENSE
THAT BEING SAID IT’S REALLY MESSED UP
THAT YOU BANGED YOUR EX- BOYFRIEND’S DAD
OHHHHH
NEVER BANG YOUR EX-BOYFRIEND’S DAD.
"We can't unscrew each other's friends." GREG YOU DONT EVEN KNOW
Janine Woolery you just literally made me laugh really hard
Damn, they really are Jerry Springer now.
lol.
As if the poor guy already didn't have bad trust issues. yikess
Wow! Didn’t even make that connection/ that lyric means so much more now.
i wish josh groban would sing to me in my walks of shame as well
Hezekiah Pabico dude same
So I recently learned that Josh Groban is a fuckboy and Marlon Brando abused women (which is sad, I used to really like Marlon) stay woke sister^^
what did josh do ?
Silver apparently he uses (or used) his fame to reach out to women, there's a long twitter chain about him being a common fuckboy. It's obviously not as extreme as Marlon but thought you should know (Gaby Dunn wrote about him, you can just google 'gaby dunn josh groban' for the details)
If I had voice like Josh, i would definitely use it to attract women. This recent "witch hunt" on everyone who even try to ask a girl out is ridiculous.
My OTP: Rebecca/Better Life Choices
Rebecca/Self-Love
Yes, thank you
#TeamRebecca
You all are visionaries ^^ ♡
Same!
"It's not some carefully crafted story, it's a mess and we're all gonna die" - PERFECT
charles gross's fangirl 'ello
"if you saw a movie that was like real life, you'd be like, what the hell was that movie about?" This song is therapy!
i think josh groban is almost as good a narrator as the santa ana winds guy tbh. its a tough call.
green tea connoiseur I thought the same thing!!!
I ship them /s
no one can win from the santa ana winds. that was such a smart joke.
I see what you mean but Santa Ana Winds takes it for me
Come on you guys, it's fucking Josh Groban!!
This song is so emotional but when he sings "like me JOSH GROBAAANN" it cracks me up everytime 😂
At first I wasn't sure how they got Groban to agree to do this, but then I realized... He's having a fucking blast.
Actually, Groban really liked the show and he asked for starring in it, not getting asked. 😄
In the ideal universe groban came back and played Greg 2.0 for season 4
@@tabaxi after this song, that would've been so meta
The fact that Nathaniel is still waiting for her, even after knowing what she's done, and knowing that he's in a position where he's allowing himself to be used, makes my heart break just a little more with that alligator hug.
Nathaniel's story is heartbreaking. It brings back memories of when Greg brushed off Rebecca's feelings, except this is so much worse because Nathaniel NEVER felt emotions before this, or acknowledged them, at least, whereas Rebecca was so easily swayed by Josh right after. The alligator hug is EVERYTHING, though. Whoever thought of that little detail deserves a cookie!
Remember that Nathaniel had no problem trying to kill Josh's grandfather, that meant nothing to him - he lacks a moral grounding. So he probably doesn't see how Rebecca's past and current actions are wrong, either. I don't think he's dedicated to her, or behaving selflessly (he has never developed a capacity for that). I don't think it's that simple, not with this show.
problemeliminator I think his lack of seeing it is part of him sorting through his own issues, or starting that path. Kind of like Rebecca with Greg. It was a breakthrough moment, that opened her up to other choices.
Also, I definitely think he's going to have to address his issues before this is over. But I agree that it is almost unfair to Rebecca's character to have the person she ends up with after this, no matter how long it is for, to not be someone who was here for all of this. I think they will find each other, and it will be a moment of character growth for Rebecca as she sees that whatever they have isn't healthy for him. And a moment of growth for him as he learns how to not be selfish, genuinely, but takes it too far.
Then again, life doesn't make narrative sense. So maybe there will be other twists that change that path (probably). But I definitely think, all said and done, at the end of CXG Rebecca will not be in a committed relationship. And if she is, it won't be with another main character.
maybe watch the whole second part of season 2 and you'll know
I can't believe I'm saying this, but... lighten up man! It's just a tv show..
When watching this episode I know we were all to think 'how could rebecca sleep with greg's dad?????' but all I could think was how could this old man sleep with his son's ex girlfriend that he saw was in a vulnerable position and also so much younger than him. Like super creepy.
I get that Rebecca has messed up this episode but Greg's dad comes out of this situation much worse than Rebecca for the whole sex incident. He was in a better mental place than her and should have said no if she offered to have sex with him
I was thinking that too but then this song came in and distracted me from that. It brought me back to Rebecca's view point and how she feels about this as opposed to how he should feel bad. It was kinda the perfect place for a song. Kept the focus of the show on our main characters and avoided any messy interactions to get back to that focus. I didn't think about its use as a transition till just now but it was brilliant.
yeah. I was thinking about the dads attitude the whole time....
Honestly though. I feel like if Greg ever finds out though, he's going to be more pissed at his dad. He's going to be mad at Rebecca bc tbh it's kinda a Rebecca thing to impulsively sleep with someone, but I think he knows his dad well enough to know it was a fucked up thing for him to initiate. Especially since the dad played a significant part in persuading Greg to leave Rebecca.
Yeah it's a pretty disturbing thing for him to do. If Greg ever find out it's going to ruin his relationship with his Dad.
Glad I'm not the only one to think this. It was fucked up that Rebecca slept with Greg's dad, but exactly like you said, the other way it's worse. The age difference is weird, but that doesn't bother me much, they're both adults. What is creepy is that he saw his son's ex (the ex he hated and wanted to his son to break up with), he saw how vulnerable she was, then rubbed in her face that Greg is essentially doing so much better without her and then goes for it? Who does that?!
my favorite part of this (besides everything) is that this is the only time in the entire series Josh Groban appears or is even mentioned. like he just shows up to narrate Rebecca's lowest point and then we all move on like yup seems right
maybe josh groban isn't famous in this universe and he really is just some rando on the street
He also just announces himself "JOSH GROBANN" and that's just peaches ✨
Whoopty friken doo, my ex girlfriend is sleeping with my dad. Who cares? I don't - Greg probably
Đinh Cẩm Tú this is my favorite comment I’ve ever read ever
But I could if I wanted to
I could - but I don't.
I mean i could but, i don't
-Greg
When he comes back, he’ll have to find out
I headcanon that this isn't actually a narration song, it's a conversation song. After leaving Marco's house, Rebecca ran into award-winning singer-songwriter Josh Groban, who was out for a late-night stroll. She rambled a bit about what was going on and he judged her a little but also said the "gradual series of revelations" line before they parted ways.
I'm so sorry I'm seeing this comment two years later because this actually made me laugh out loud.
This is probably the best song this season so far.
"What the hell was that movie about? It was really all over the place. Life doesn't make narrative sense" truest words ever sung.
I watched a movie like that, to this day I don't know what it was supposed to be about. It followed the main character for two weeks and then it just ended.....
Valerie Zee LoL is that movie called life
@@blackvelvet51 Low key I wanna see that, what was it called?
@@alyssaolson7964 It was a french film whose name I think I never knew. If you really want to see stories that just meander and then end abruptly, french media is a good bet. Every french movie I've watched has been like this
Can we discuss how Rebecca's hairstyle always reflects where she is as a person? In NYC it was straight, she enters West Covina and it suddenly becomes curly and bouncy, like how she sees her life changing. And as Season 3 has gone on, it has slowly become extremely unkempt and limp, and is in this episode the most straight we have seen it since the premiere. Also, it still has some curl to it, like she almost went to put in the effort to be the "bubbly, cheerful, and effervecent" WC Rebecca, but she isn't actually there.
An I the only one noticing this? Any other major hair moments that hit you? Thoughts?
I've always wanted to talk to someone about this! -the dark careless look is so appropiate to reflect herself right now.
Janell Williams yes! And it makes sense. Especially this last style. The deeper into depression you are, the less “well-kept” you are.
kika0901 exactly! Like she doesn't even bother to go to the hairdresser because it doesn't matter anymore. I totally get her reaching rock bottom.
Her hair is still more on fleek than mine on any regular day...
Anyway, how do you fit the blond phase after Makey-Makeover in there? It looked good on her, but it was her second lowest point in season two.
la cherie I don't think it looking "good" is really what I mean.
Her hair is well-kept when she is convinced she is okay. It's over the top (the blonde, the black, the times it was so curly and bouncy she looked like she swallowed a can of mousse) when she is on the verge of a breakdown and trying to convince herself she's definitely okay and not crazy.
When she is more grounded and down to earth -- like in this scene, or in Tapped that Ass, or after the non-wedding -- and is realizing the reality of her life, her hair is much more natural, softer, and less full. This is the most natural her hair has been (minus the dye) since the show began. Not NYC straight, not "I'm perfectly okay and life is a fairytale in WC!" curly.
RIP Adam Schlesinger, you brought so much joy, humor and truth in your music.
Life doesn't make narrative sense, Goddammit
What?! Aww. X.x
Ironically enough, the same day Rachel Bloom had her daughter
josh miller that’s not ironic that’s heartbreaking
what? he died? 😨
I think I was more upset by how selfish Greg's dad was. Using sex when she's feeling vulnerable to help her self esteem is Rebecca 101, but how could Greg's dad to that to him?
it makes me think of the scene where he literally hands him a bottle of whisky or something and mockingly says if he's gonna be with Rebecca he might as well start drinking again. we know that he cares about his son but it's buried very deep under a lot of self-hatred and bitterness
Well, Greg mentions his dad being an alcoholic in treatment later in the last season, soy they are each other’s rock bottom
...I can't argue with Rebecca 101
@@mainie_videoediting remember how Marco greeted her. He said "aw crap" as soon as Rebecca introduced herself. That one exchange explained so much about Greg himself.
Do you know these moments in television, where you're already sobbing because of certain events happening and then suddenly, they're like "like me, Josh Groooooobaaaaaan" and you're totally cracking up while still bawling your eyes out, so you make all kinds of desperate noises that make your roomates think you're having a mental breakdown? No, just me? Ok, cool.
The whole episode was brilliant
The saddest episode for Crazy ex gf. I hope next one will be a happier one.
rhomina berdijo Yikes... it was WORSE. 😭
ZozieBeth agree with u i was shocked! she went spiraling to oblivion by hooking up with Greg's dad.
it's a crime that this version isn't available on Spotify
Correct
Licensing with Josh’s voice
10000%. Josh should let them.
White Josh and Darryl. :(
City Beautiful If they break up, my heart will never recover
I hope they just stay together, happy even without kids (they have Madison anyway).
Finally someone who cares about them :c
Damn..this scene was cut in my country due to its anti LGBT. But imo this is rather hamless.
Come on forced 40 gay guy with 25 gay guy that's fake as F
Fun fact: Josh Groban was an extra in my life. I ran into him on the subway heading home from New York Comic Con in 2016. We talked about comic con and he told me he saw Color Purple on Broadway. Very nice guy, my day had been pretty shitty but he totally turned my night around.
I spat my tea all over the living room when I saw "Josh Grobaaaaaaaan!" It was awesome.
years later and "life doesn't make narrative sense" as a line has haunted me for life
for me its every time i hear "you're looking for answers" that josh groban starts singing in my head "BUT ANSWERS AREN'T LOOKING FOR YOOOUUUU"
Noooooo, Nathaniel just hugging that alligator - my poor heart! This episode was really hard to watch, but it was so brilliant!
germankiwigal in her bedroom too
*sobs
rip Ruth Gator Ginsburg
they didn't just sank the grebecca ship. they DESTROYED it.
And in a brilliantly subversive way, too.
There's torpedoing a ship. Then there's machine gunning the lifeboats.
Comsatteur more like burned it down
And yet he is kinda endgame
and then they Frankensteined it
I burst out laughing watching this episode when Josh Groban appeared. This was perfect. I need a Josh Groban to appear in my lowest moment.
Me too, real LOL.
Rachel said that, when asked to do this, Josh Groban said it wasn't that unusual for people to want him to sing his name 🤣
"You're looking for answers but answers aren't looking for you"- best summary of *why* life feels weird this way I've ever heard.
When Gregg called I was so hopeful that Santino would be back. Just goes to show how well written this show is in terms of making you feel pain along with the characters
my friend is a die hard greg fan, she is going to flip the fuck out over that butt dial.
Indy Film Productions Rachel said in an interview that Greg is going to be present but not in person so...
who knows, Santino Fontana responded to a tweet and said he would love for greg to surprise everyone with multiple reappearances. So there's a little bit of hope that we might get to see him again.:)
I think it's more about the showrunners rather than Santino's availability, and they did plan Greg's departure from the beginning of the show, so I doubt we'll ever see him again, and if we do, it won't be in the way we want. Such a shame, but the story went to so many amazing places without him.
And the Oh my god I think I like you in the background broke my heart
"but the truth is sometimes you're the lead and sometimes you're an extra"
ooF I REMEMBER THINKING THIS LINE WAS SO SAVAGE ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS EPISODE CAME OUT AFTER COMET CLOSED
Holy fucking shit. Can we appreciate the production and cinematographer? like bruh give them all the awards
jadehandro it’s Joseph Kahn! He’s the mastermind behind a ton of great music videos (most recently, Taylor Swifts videos for Blank Space, Look What You Made Me Do, Gorgeous)
Costumes by whoever does Rihanna because omg
The whole cast was amazing. From Rebecca's spiral downward into madness to Josh's reaction, we get to see what everyone goes through when someone who needs help realizes the nightmare is real.
There goes that one tiny last drop of hope for Grebecca
So true.
I'm still feebly hoping it won't work out with mystery classmate and he'll show up at the end of the series, happy and successful, and Rebecca's finally REALLY happy (getting medications and therapy that actually work, happy in her job, doesn't feel like she needs a man to be happy), and then they can be together. :(
lol she only cared about Greg when she hit rock bottom (like always) and since he wasn't there she chose the next best thing (ew). Rebecca is and always will be terrible to Greg and toxic for his sobriety and happiness.
Oh God, if she got pregnant by Greg's dad, then the baby would be Greg's brother. Then they'd be family forever! It's the next best thing to marrying him outright!
Just the Coolest Dude Yo Oh greg's dad died from heart attack after sex with Rebecca.LOL
I remember watching this for the first time and almost died laughing when Josh Groban introduced himself midway thru the song. We all need Josh Groban in our lowest moment 😂
Yeah it was. I loved this episode. It was so artistic and beautiful. But that being said it’s really messed up that she banged her ex boyfriends dad
Avril Mera wait, who's dad? Josh's dad?
ngakan putu h. purwanta Greg
Matt ewwww that's gross (sorry) and sad and bitter and how's that ever happened i mean that's really hurting both Rebecca and greg and I can't believe this happened
C. Han in her defense ( idk why I'm defending her) she is a broken person, like she's trying her best to be happy but everything she did seems wrong and lead the circumstances to the point she is now
_that's the point_
If this doesn’t get played at my funeral, I’m not dying
underrated comment
That's so funny... I thought, yes, please play this at my funeral, but drop the sleeping with the boyfriend's dad part. As a dad, that is so creepy... ick.
"Life is a gradual series of revelations that occur over a period of time. Some things might happen that seem connected, but there's not always a reason or rhyme". Josh Groban singing that cuts me deep every time.
If this episode isn't at least nominated for Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series at the next Emmy Awards, I'll be disappointed.
Comedy--It's real life buddy.
it reflects somebody's life. A real message that speaks in codes.
I'm going to go on a rant here because I have no one to talk to about this show...
So, first I found that this episode was truly wonderful in the respect that everyone is dealing with the some type of "crazy" aspect of themselves. From Rebecca's tragically hilarious ways to torture Josh just to get his attention, to Paula's realization that she is more of a mother figure to Rebecca than her own children and has to come to the reality that she is a naive and neglecting mother and wife, to Heather coming to find that she isn't as cool as she thought she was and that she actually might be pathetic. There were a lot of truth bombs dropped in this episode and once the smoke cleared people had to deal with the fall out, which you ended up seeing in subtle ways. When Rebecca was rejected by Josh, her response was to go tell him everything he made her do (that he didn't ask for), resulting in her feeling more rejection from her friends because Josh will tell the what she said and that resulted in her turning him into a crazy person. This is all a crazy pattern for Rebecca. So, once the the truth got out about her, her response was to reject everyone that was trying to help her so they didn't have a chance for her too, which also resulted in her feeling more rejection. Rebecca's actions are dependent on the acceptance and the opinions of her peers because of her relationships with her parents, so, when faced with conflicts that makes other disapprove of her or see her in a different light that she isn't casting, she seems immediate validation the only way she knows how -- through sex. (I.e Greg's date when she took the vegan guy home, and Greg's dad in this episode). This is the only way she knows how to cope with such a negative feeling.
Moreover with Paula, we see even though she is trying to a better mother/wife at the carnival, she results back to previous patterns where Rebecca takes away her attention from being attentive to her family. We can see this when her boys wait for her to be distracted by something (of course Rebecca related) to ask her a question that they know she would generally (or for the audience sake) would disapprove of. She is focused in on Rebecca's life that when met with the news that her son is Valencias drug dealer, she was excited that she started his own business.
Its seems like most, if not all the characters, are facing repetitive behavioral patterns and truth if who they are and what their ROLE is in this world. It's like every character is having a version of their own crisis, albeit existential or otherwise. This is why this song is so special to the episode.
I'm looking forward to the upcoming episodes because this whole season is taking a different turn than I expected.
If you would like to reply to this, please do. I am open For discussion and would love to hear your thoughts 😄.
FYI there's an active CEG subgroup on reddit website having Crazy ExGirlfriend discussions all the time. Just google Reddit Crazy ExGirlfriend and you'll find the link.
Oh I didn't know. Thanks 😄😊
I know the feeling of having no one to talk about this show, everybody always gets turned away by the title.
Completely agree with your thoughts about this episode. This episode, in particular, made me remember, that we are not supposed to feel happy, after watching this show, we are supposed to contemplate and understand where Rebecca is coming from and evaluate her decisions. This song tells us, the audience, that there might not be a happy ending, just like in the movies and shows we are grown to expect
Sorry for bad English
FakeLolapalola exactly. I watched the behind the scenes and this was song was sort like what the writers wanted to say to the audience. It was interesting what Rachel Bloom said about this episode.
Where did you watch the behind the scenes? I want to watch it too :D
It breaks my heart that in this scene she just walks in the middle of the road and doesn't care about the fact that she could get hurt. Also, White Jo and Daryl hurts so much, wanting to be with someone but having different life choices.
This is literally the best episode ever in television history
i want josh groban to follow me around singing miscellaneous life advice :(
I really do like how they paralleled WhiJo & Darryl's relationship w/ Rebecca's bc it just highlights how good they are at open communication & compromise and how Rebecca needs to work on her view of how a relationship really works.
That being said-- I think WhiJo & Darryl are going to be fine. Both of them are willing to work to be better for each other, so I'm not particularly worried. Rebecca, though, needs help. A shit ton of help.
wow, natasha pierre and the great comet of 1812 looks great!
rebecca is crazy, she loves josh chan with all her heart
Paula is bored. Rebecca's mother - I mean closest friend.
Too soon.
This thread makes my heart happy.
okay while i was watching this ep i was like this guys voice sounds so familiar and then when groban actually appeared i was like i hate myself bc i’m a huge tgc fan and it just didn’t hit me that it was him lmao
This song is so truthful and funny and the scene is so brilliant. You guys are raising the bar so high, my goodness. I also loved the whole cinematic approach, so fitting and hilarious.
So Josh lives on Driftwood Lane? How fitting. The details in this show are freaking perfect.
What is Driftwood Lane famous for? I need a Captain Obvious, sorry
Just kinda like a metaphor for Josh, just kind of drifting along through life
@@nadiamir-montazeri3898 Josh is so "go with the flow" that he's drifting through life like a directionless piece of wood in a river
I loved this song especially because for someone with BPD who resorts to daydreaming and dissociation all the time, to realise that your life is not and will never be a movie/book/song/whatever you fantasize about, is absolutely devastating and enough to send you into a spiral.
It's an important realisation but dear god is it a painful one.
ADHD, and same ❤
@@MaudianI'm not surprised at all. BPD and ADHD overlap more than most other disorders. All the best to you ❤️
Every great comedy has a moment where it's not funny anymore.
Nomi Sunrider you saw the season two finale, right?
Yup, and that was another great example.
That sounds like it ought to be a line from a song from this show.
Well it's not a sitcom is it. The season so far has been more romantic drama with comedic touch but given how Season 2 ended it's not surprising and it will probably pick back up.
I still think the show is funny as hell 😂
Love how the climax of the song is him belting out his own name! Very meta.
I smell an Emmy nomination.
Props to Adam & Jack for music & lyrics.
Props to Rebecca Bunch for craft services.
Rolerolerole.
silverpinion9 the cheese services especially
God, the beginning of this episode made me want to give Valencia a hug. Like, the rest had some pretty awful stuff thrown at them, but like, what Rebecca said about Valencia was horribly cutting, and it's worse when you consider the pair's history. They worked through a lot of hate to get to be as close as they were before this episode.
Also, this episode made me cry so hard. I've spent most of this series relating to Rebecca's anxiety, so to see her act the way she did is absolutely horrifying, and makes me feel like I myself fucked up. Although, Rebecca is clearly suffering from more than simple anxiety and depression. Regardless, it made me refill my prescription for my anxiety meds.
The stuff she said to Valencia was awful but the shit she said to Paula was on a whole other level.
I laughed so hard when Josh Groban entered xD
IF YOU SAW A MOVIE THAT WAS LIKE REAL LIFE
YOU’D BE LIKE “WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT MOVIE ABOUT?”
Me after watching Boyhood.
Solid advice there at the end.
In times of trouble, Josh Groban comes to me and whispers words of reason: "Never bang your ex-boyfriend's dad."
After watching the latest episode I'm really happy that Greg is doing really well; that he's sober, healthy, and in a good relationship. I know people are disappointed because they shipped those two (tbh I did too) but the show was never about shipping people or people being in relationships and I would rather Greg be happy and no longer be on the show than have him suffer in West Covina because I selfishly like him and Rebecca together. Aline and Rachel even said themselves that if Greg were to stay he would have never been able to get better and grow as a person. And hopefully fans will stop harassing everyone with questions about Greg
The sound that came out of my mouth when they cut to Rebecca and Marco sucking each other's faces was something that I didn't know I was able to make. I simultaneously gasped, exhaled, guffawed and recoiled in horror...this show!
I feel like this song really gets at the core of a big issue in CXG. We are all conditioned to look for happy endings and simple answers, but that’s not the way life is. People are complex and fucked up. This song is a great example of why I love this show.
So given all the musical numbers in the show are supposed to be representations of how Rebecca see's the world does anyone else imagine that the real world version of this scene was just that she walking down the street and passed Josh Groban (or at least someone who looked a lot like him) and because she was going through an emotional crisis imagined him going off at her for screwing up her life.
Such a shame this version doesn't seem to be on Spotify! I really wonder why.
This episode was so great all-around. It's amazing how much actually happened in it but it didn't feel rushed or crowded or long or anything.
This might actually be my favorite song they've ever done.
Same. I mean they are all my favorite but especially this one
Yeah, this one and Shit Show
One thing I loved about this episode was how, after Rebecca threw a bunch (pun intended) of very on-the-nose criticism and insults at her friends, they all went away, thought about it and dealt with it like rational beings.
this episode was so, so, beautiful and so, so, important. even the "funny" parts, such as the rolling credits that just said 'rebecca bunch' over and over and over, were pretty damn dark.
shoutout to the covert "butter can't save you now" sign in the bg of the scene where she almost falls into the construction pit
I was clutching my face this whole episode. The last fifteen minutes had me screaming at the tv. I cannot believe how good this show is. It deserves the world.
Oh my god, that song.
That episode.
I actually screamed when she had sex with Marco. I wish I'd had a friend to watch this episode with, because my heart was shattered to pieces. But weirdly enough it broke a second time on this last image of Nathaniel.
And now I'm listening again to that song. And again. And again. Because masochism.
I like how in a song about how life isn't a movie, things don't always make sense and aren't carefully crafted, they make the word "rhyme" rhyme. There is literally a rhyme in the line about there not always being a reason or rhyme.
Best boy: Jarl Thedanishguy
Worst boy: Josh Chan
Special thanks to: Literally no one
ULGROTHA also Valencia did admit that they had problems even before Rebecca, but I can understand Valencia. I would be bummed too if my friends planted a tracking device on my body & tried to sabotage my relationship.
@ULGROTHA why tf have they been a couple for 15 years but still didn't live together??
More credit sequences should dish on who the Worst Boy is.
I love that Nathaniel is snuggling with an alligator pillow. Maybe he and Rebecca should go to the zoo together
JOSH GROBAN!
rachel & all songwriting staff: this song was so emotionally moving and touching. I'm so proud that this is my favorite show. keep up the INCREDIBLE work with your lyric writing. I was so heartbroken I was actually sobbing. thank you for taking me to that place
This song is hilarious and haunting all at once.
the fact that josh groban’s version of this song isn’t on spotify :(((
Also, is Josh Groban a wind?
Maria Pichugina I thought of the wind guy too 😂
He's also kind of a narrator.
that wind guy still was the best thing. lol
Let's say he's El Niño.
Or a dream ghost
Why is the song not on Spotify 😫
Seeing White Josh and Daryl on the verge of breaking up always makes me sad.
It’s that moment that Josh Groban appears it fracking hilarious.
“like me JOOOSSSSHHHH GROOOOOBBAAAAANNNN”
Rachel's acting is so on point here holy crap
Santino Fontana sounds enough like Josh Groban that at first I thought it was really meta he'd be singing after this scene, until I remembered they said he'd never be back on CEG. Josh Groban was an actual delightful cameo tho - he's always down for some comedy and I respect that about him.
actually if santino was singing the song it would be extremely strange with this ending verse xD
This is so sad and beautiful... but also really pretty
Attacking her friends was hard, but that butt dial from Greg broke me😭 Thank you for soothing my wounded heart with your silky smooth voice Josh Groban❤️
This song is fantastic oh my god. It’s so heartbreaking but also a little funny but sad and Josh Groban’s beautiful voice oh my god everything works so well.
The soundtrack of Crazy Ex on Apple has this song but performed beautifully by the late Adam Schlesinger. I love listening to it.
I wonder what people who stumble on this clip on UA-cam without context think of this. For show viewers this song came at the end of a very harrowing hour of television.
Rest in peace Adam 😔
This is one of my favorite songs from this show.
I just love those credits. 🤣
Josh Groban is my favourite character just for this
Hahaha the timing of Josh Groban's appearance was absolute perfection.
This song is literally that song every teenage girl and young woman plays on her phone while she's Sat on the bus/train/in the car/walking down the street when life isn't where you want it to be! It's got the classic power ballad feels and the idea of being the lead in a movie and sometimes an extra. It's like they read my mind! I absolutely love that Rachel bloom and the writing cast are out there living their dream and writing this stuff! Hilarious and poignant. I'd love to work with these people and for this show!
Found myself in a CXG wormhole. This is one of my favorite songs from the whole series. I really gravitated to a lot of the sadder songs and this is way up there. Incredible music, too. I wish it was possible to have this version for sale or stream. Ah well!
The scene with Eugene and White Josh never ceases to shoot me in the heart
Not for me. I always almost hated White Josh.

This episode made my heart skip a beat, have a few laughs here and there but in the end made me feel sad and empty. I'll never get tired of saying that CXG is one of the best shows ever! Relatable, entertaining and overall brilliant.
The singer has so much fun singing in Rebecca's face. I can see him trying not to laugh. It's so cute. Also, he's cute. And the voice is extra nice. I guess he's popular with the ladies.
Josh Groban sang his own name with such passion :D
That was awesome.
i need jgrob to sing my everyday life like this
i scREAMED WHEN JOSH GROBAN JUST RANDOMLY APPEARED LIKE SERIOUSLY
#whataboutpierre
I keep coming back to this video. The last couple weeks have been really messed up and I needed this reminder that life doesn't always make narrative sense
I don't know who I love more... Josh Groban or Santa Ana Wind?
Thank you, Rachel... somehow this really helps. My ex (whose dad I ,for the record, didn't bang) was just presumed dead very young in an accident and I can't really process any of it and hang on to weird movie and telenovela tropes to keep up hope that he's somehow still alive... I kind of hate myself for my thoughts that all revolve around me, but i guess that is how these things are processed in our brains...
I hope you are OK now.
@@Wednesdaywoe1975 that is so nice, thank you, I am. Time can heal many wounds :)
“Like me Josh Groban!” Wonderful, perfect
This song is my new mantra. Thanks Rachel
