I was listening to this in the car, because I wanted my family to hear this greatness, and my mom asked “is he in love with chad or something?” you don’t understand how hard I laughed.
"we've gotta get out of here while they're distracted" "oh my god, should i take the chair?!?" "YES" "i'll grab the piano" this one of the funniest interactions in the whole show. i crack up every time
I love how Professor Hidgens gave almost every character a really generic American name like ‘Steve’ and ‘Chad’ but then he just throws fucking ‘Leighton’ into the middle.
His mistake at 5:06 and his recovery was genius. He was supposed to say "The world will come tumbling down. Hamilton move over, your new competition's in town." and instead he mistakenly says his line from the first verse (No exits from this Broadway venue.) but quickly recovers and modifies the second verse to "Hamilton move over, got a show stopping hymnal for you." for it to rhyme. Robert thankfully nailed it. Better handled than Joey's "Ho ho ho Ha!" incident. 🤣
I think my worst moment with a bad recovery was 1776. Was at the edge of the stage facing away and couldn't see the conductor. I came in when I usually do on the chorus part (after the break in the middle of Cool Conservative Men) and they vamped an extra measure. I just held the note till the chorus caught up then cut off with them. So instead of to the right, ever to the right. To the riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight, ever to the right. Still not sure how I managed that in the moment, and I wish I had a tape of it because I'm sure in spite of the cover my eyes were in fully wide "Oh Sh..." mode.
I honestly think the line “no exits from this broadway venue “ is better , honestly- maybe personal preference idk it just scratches my brain eiqhsjwhjw
Some people may think this is just a song to illustrate Professor Hidgen's sudden minor antagonist arc, but really this is an autobiographical performance to represent Jeff Blim's creative process when writing this musical and song.
As great as Robert's performance is and how seamlessly he recovered from the messed-up lyric, the main reason I loved this was because we got more of Joey's amazing facial expressions.
"theyll throw us their money at full price admission, no exits from this Broadway venue" that caught me off guard, I nearly screamed the other lyric before realising-
@@ProfessorRed12 people pay to watch it live online and get extras, I believe. I think it's related to the kickstarter they do but I'm not entirely sure.
What's incredible to me is that Robert is so obviously talented as a dancer, but that he has such variation in some moments of choreography. And yet, those "mistakes"/improvisations have such commitment to them all the same.
@@vaxshin I haven’t seen it yet, I’m excited about it being something available now. Waiting to watch it with some friends equally excited. Means we’ll either love it together or make fun of it together

@@constantTVstatic ranboo is a twitch streamer!! he’s grown very fast and is current one of the most subscribed to people on twitch!! he and another streamer called tubbo watched tgwdlm on a stream one night and a lot of their fans came to check it out after!
Notice at 5:06 he said no exits from this broadway venue when he was ment to say the world with come tumbling down (he make a mistake and said the wrong line)
It still sounds awesome, plus he didn’t stop just because of that one mistake which (coming from someone who’s acted in plays before) it’s mighty impressive
@@bumblebeeproductions1673 Yeah! I remember in theater, the main thing we were taught is "If you mess up, ignore it." Like, if someone forgot their line (Or just didn't say it for any reason,) then we would be taught to say it in a version our character would say.
It's been a year but I came back and realized he flubbed up a lot more than that, but if you don't have the song memorized, you'd never notice. Phenomenal.
is nobody gonna take about how he sways his hips when he does "The world will come tumbling down" (correct lyric)????? because thats my weakness here. like oh my god.
@@morganlopez9212 He admitted to sexually harassing a member of the band and was fired for it.

Just for once is npmd version of this and my hc like just for once Ruth was showing how she use to dance but because of anxiety she can’t. This song shows how the prof. Has a gay lover named chad.
Is this a clip from the original one on youtube? I’ve watched the musics so many times and I could have seeing he did low notes here that were supposed to be high notes.
the sexual tension between him and the keyboard is immaculate
A true Trent Reznor
I love the implication in Workin Boys that they basically play football every weekend, but Hidgens’ character talks about it like it’s been years.
Play football? 👀
@@LucasSouzajust normal working boys stuff
Wait I thought it was years. When is it implied they play every weekend?
@@TheApoke"Last weekend feels like ages ago"
@@TheApokeits because its been years since all his friends died in that lighting incident.

I mean...most likely
I Am SCREAMING
To be fair it's a very gay song, especially since he's only had to go without seeing his boys for ONE WEEK
I can see it,
He is, it's explained in Nightmare Time
"we've gotta get out of here while they're distracted"
"oh my god, should i take the chair?!?"
"YES"
"i'll grab the piano"
this one of the funniest interactions in the whole show. i crack up every time
Best scene change ever.
That line was completely improvised by joey richter (ted). Just one example of his incredible improv
@@Middleman0000 like during rehearsal? and they just incorporated it like with the alien trio falling out of sync?
I heard somewhere that one night they messed up and instead of piano they said computer 😄
@@QuikVidGuy he was meant to just take it as a scene change but added the line to make it that much funnier

I swear to god if Working Boys isn't Starkid's next musical I'm gonna start stabbin' shit
You may be happy with this then. Looks like a short movie is being made.

@@zartig09 Thank you for letting me know! :D
Its similar to an other musical :
ua-cam.com/play/PLz_1Pzes161byh6Otw-6aUHNJEPO175VK.html
It’s being made as one of the rewards for the Kickstarter to fund blackfriday but due to COVID they haven’t been able to get together to make it
It's being made but not next. Nmt season 2 is next then working boys if Robert is correct
This is one of the only songs performed by a non-alien, so the small line flubs oddly make a bit of sense in the context of the show
As great as Robert's performance is and how seamlessly he recovered from the messed-up lyric, the main reason I loved this was because we got more of Joey's amazing facial expressions.
This is humanity’s eleventh hour.

Yeah, what was that sound? It totally ruins the moment

2:36 i love how invested ted gets.
god, emma is just so stunned while ted is like "I'M LOVING THIS"

I love that you can see Lauren and Joey's faces in this, they're absolutely priceless. A lot of that is lost in the official recording.
teds level of drunkness in this version is just........ chefs kiss,, like did hidgens even have to knock him out
He absolutely did not need to knock Ted out, I'm convinced 😂
I remember the first time I got here I briefly forgot what the actual show was about.
SAME when he sat down I thought about the rocky horror picture show for a second 💀
I like how annoyed Emma sounds when she says “no professor, that’s not Greg”
Yas! More of Joey's facial reactions. Needed this.
i love how they specifically move camera to fit joey in. ted's pure awe is precious
Seeing Ted's reaction changing throughout this was amazing
The way her jaw is on the floor and the other guy is just into the pitch for the show. Especially when he yeets his chair over at the start.
She is the best straight man I've seen in a comedic bit in a while.
The leg kicks at 4:37 tho 😭 beautiful
gotta respect this man messing up the lyrics twice and just rolling with it. iconic
Teds reactions make this 50 times better
I love the little fuck ups in almost every show with this song
my friend is making me watch this as a dare. so far I like it. it's funny.😂
Better believe it
you have good friends

this is golden

At least we know the opening song already

This seems like a completly different dance routine to the one in the full musical
It says in the description that it’s the alternate choreography
They’re polyamorous you can’t tell me they’re not
As all business boys are
Was there any doubt that they weren't?
The Workin' Boys polycule 😂
watching in 2024 and sobbing my eyes out. this song gives me so many emotions mostly hysterics
He absolutely yeeted that Blazer 😂
Lauren’s facial expressions during the entire scene are priceless. ❤❤❤
I love how it becomes increasingly obvious that hidgens doesnt know what normal humans do nor how business works
First time i saw this, i got whiplash from hidgens transition to singing working boys
Who's here after the news? 😁😁
I wonder if they have alternate versions of the other songs on here?
I would watch a full version of Workin Boys
There is one
October 13th cant come soon enough! 🎉🏈
Still waiting for Workin’ Boys the Musical
Oh yeah he gets eviscerated at the end of the song. That does makes this a little harder to share with people.
I miss Robert
same!
And Chad
Was Rob ever really playing the piano, or was it Clark the whole time and Rob just had a powered-off piano?
