The fact that Jinkx was paired with Dave, like, more than a decade ago and they talked about that crazy Judy Garland story, that she then referenced here AS JUDY is just, next level.
I loved it, too. It also did - in the silliest way possible- capture what I thought was the spirit of some of his more interesting interviews. So I don't think she did as bad as a lot of people say she did. That's just my opinion though 😅
i have seen some of Prince's interviews, and you can definitely see the mannerisms come through and was pretty accurate most of the time. it's just that the answers didn't land much
I am OBSESSED with her concerned tone and face when she says it too, it’s so funny. She’s so concerned that he doesn’t know it’s a set and that just SELLS the joke so much harder
@@katelynisspooky 1) you should do a top 5 or 10 of snatch game performances, Jinx’s Judy is my number 3 of all time, 2nd is Alyssa Edwards’ (version of Faye Dunaway’s) Joan Crawford (from Mommie Dearest). Ru got this winner wrong. 1st was the incomparable Bendela Crème’s Maggie Smith (as the dowager duchess). This was a huge upset as I’m sure everyone thought Bianca Del Rio’s Judge Judy had it in the bag. And she was great, but Bendela was improv goal. 2) talk about your favorite Whose Line episode, mine is the one where Richard Simmons just pops in. It’s unending laughter from start to finish.
@@RLucas3000 I 100% agree with Alyssa's Joan being one of the best SG ever - however Alaska won that fair and square, she absolutely killed it too. also Viv's Trump, Dela's Paul Lynde, Chad's Cher, Gottmik's Paris Hilton, Jimbo's Shirley Temple = other crème de la crème picks (honorable mention - Jujubee for the hysterical thermostat reply)
The absolute genius of Jinkx able to do one of Judy's traits which is singing which is always something difficult to do because of copyright on Drag Race is to just sing RuPaul songs.
The absolute GALL it took for Jinx to do another bit after Ru had called an end to the show. I was on the floor the first time I watched it. She was absolutely brilliant.
Madame is an iconic ventriloquist puppet mostly from the 70s and 80s, created and voiced by the late great Wayland Flowers. She was known for her wit and puns
As an older gay man who gets the old references in gay subculture I wish that you had done a quick Google search on Waylon flowers and Madam and on Diana Vreeland they were both gay icons of the past. Diana Vreeland was a magazine editor at Vogue I believe and then became the head of the metropolitan museums costume collection. Waylon Flowers and his gang of puppets performed in gay bars and TV shows as well as having her own series called Madams Place. The reason I say this is because if you had the information you would have seen how amazing Raja’s performance was.
I agree 💯! If you're going to do a reaction vid, atleast look up the actual people that are being referenced in video. Raja did a Fab job! I understand that if people don't have time to do research on the stuff, life n such.
People saying, "I never head of that," or "I don't get the reference" in the era of Google is kinda baffling to me. Especially in this genre of video-making.
Isn't it an expected responsibility of someone putting out their opinion as content to at least use the opportunity to educate themselves and the viewers about what they are reviewing???? 🤔
@@boogiebear3027Truly! While I appreciate the video and I’m not out here making my own UA-cam content, so I’ll keep the critique short. She really should have looked up the characters she didn’t know, especially because with the exception of Monet’s Mike and Martin (and Jaida’s Prince) she didn’t know any of the black characters. As an improv coach I would have thought she’d give insight on how to improve their impressions.
I'm not even a part of the community and I know who Waylon Flowers and Madame are because I grew up in the '70s and '80s and saw them on TV all the time. I loved Madame's Place when I was a kid. Personally I think younger members of the LGBTQ+ community should know their history regardless of whether or not they're making videos. The other day I was watching someone's UA-cam video about the history of drag and she didn't even mention the documentary The Queen. Like, I'm a straight person and even I've watched that documentary. 🤷🏻♀️
Jinkx's Judy had me in TEARS; what i would give to experience this snatch game for the first time again Jinkx is the perfect example of a masterclass of how to impersonate and hone the character; i wish i could even have a sliver of that talent
She was brilliant. She played into a character's over the top traits without being one note or downright insulting like some previous queens, I'm looking at you Gia Gunn.
Snatch game would be the one improv challenge that people think of on drag race, but one of my favorite challenges in all of drag race was All stars 3 “The Bitchelor”
The Bitchelor was so good. Trixie was robbed because Milk was just so bad of a partner. And if anyone ever doubted that Kennedy Davenport is fucking hilarious, her performance in the challenge was the perfect reminder.
@@thirdeyyye this made so mad! Trixie had it in the bag with the character and was ruined by Milk. Maybe a good reaction from this channel so she can give tips of what to do or react to how she handled this situation.
Two snatch games that immediately come to mind are the one with Maria The Robot and the one with Melania because of the surprise factor associated with the performers.
The "China" joke Melania had is maybe my favorite moment on the whole Snatch Game realm, Aquaria was SO FAST for that! She couldn't have prepared that beforehand
When I was a very little girl (I'm 51 now) my mom would send me out of the room when Madame would be on comedy shows because she was a dirty-talking puppet voiced by comedian Wayland Flowers (thank goodness for google, I didn't know his name!).
I saw Jinkx Monsoon live last July. She did a seance bit where she went through a medley of deceased Hollywood legends, and I knew it was coming before it did... she brought out a longer Judy bit, and then Major Scales played "Over the Rainbow" while Jinkxy sang it as Judy... and little baby me, sitting in front of the VCR and rewinding The Wizard of Oz 10000 times... sobbed. It was one of the single most emotional moments of my entire 39 years on this rock. Just a beautiful thing to behold.
As an American I'm familiar with other Catherine Tate roles or her as a person and I felt like I didn't get any of the references. It must be because I don't know that character
It's like when Tayce (UK S2) did Jane Tuner as Kath from Kath and Kim. I loved it, because I'm Aussie and loved that show but I imagine it was lost on Americans and probably a lot of the Brits, it was certainly lost on Ru.
Viv was my biggest disappointment in the AS7 Snatchgame easily - not because she bombed or anything, but her Trump is easily one of the best snatchgames ever so expectations were crazy high. sadly I think neither Patsy (icon but NOT easy to do), nor Nan were imo good picks (luckily Viv recovered with a bang in 'Fairytale Justice')
It makes me feel so old that no one remembers Waylon Flowers and Madame. I lost it when Raja came out in that outfit! She nailed it. Even her references, like Qualudes, were old. It was pretty good. And then her Diana Vreeland - PURPLE MITTENS! It was so stupid, I loved it. You know Jinkx is going to slay it, she's the master. But I don't think Raja got enough credit for this. I didn't remember her as being terribly funny. But this was great.
I don't pretend to know Madame well, I've only seen a few clips or seen her referenced on other shows, and I have no idea who Diana Vreeland is but I could tell Raja was slaying
Diana Vreeland is the former editor in chief of Vogue and Harper's Bazaar and was a fashion columnist. Madame was a puppet on a show from the 80s titled Madame's Place, but it was a more adult-oriented humor puppet show.
I figured out what Jada was missing with her Prince impression. Her jokes are funny because Prince was sexy and confident, but he wasn’t much for eye contact and she’s staring straight at Ru with her lines. If she would’ve avoided eye contact or just stared at the camera with a mild sexual intensity, all of her lines would’ve been funnier.
The Lady Chablis was a well-known trans woman and drag performer from Savannah, Georgia. She played herself in the movie Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.
SO. Yvie looks a lot like Rico Nasty in drag, but that's about where the similarities stopped. Rico Nasty's music is loud, bold, and out there (which is I guess what Yvie was going for) but Rico as a person in interviews is very calm and...normal, in contrast to what Yvie did here. It would have been fun to see that dichotomy played with. There are things other than Rico's music I think Yvie could have played up, too, like that Rico got herself expelled from private school on purpose by smoking weed and now has her own strain of weed called Road Rage. Would have been interesting to see her approach things from that angle, especially because Yvie herself smokes weed! A missed opportunity for sure.
Heeeeeeey! You just cut Jinkx Monsoon singing the Drag Race intro and Trinity the Tuck saying that they changed woman for drag queen. It's the best part!
A lot of the references people don't get are older references from the 60s, 70s, and 80s, because that was what was popular when Ru was a kid, back before there were so many shows and the internet, there was a limited amount of entertainment. People from that era have all watched and loved the same things for years. That is why Raja picked Madame, because Ru would love it. The entire point of the Snatch Game is to make Ru laugh. That's how you win it!
Jynkx used the echo of the Frank Sinatra joke later in the season during the set where the queens were roasting each other. She said she was sniffing a line when she had time to stop and consider: "have I become my mother?"
See the thing about snatch game isnt always to understand the character but its about making it funny. Like when Jinkx did little Eadie no one knew who that was
As an amateur, one of the things I noticed about Jinx’s Judy Garland, was how she juxtaposed seeming obliviousness with smart jokes. She played into Judy being a bit out of it, which could be a combination of her drug use and just being from a different time, making the smart comebacks and jokes hit that much harder.
I think if you’re gonna do more RPDR a video on the read challenges and more specifically going into the meta process of joking about others in your improv group and setting appropriate improv boundaries around what is or isn’t okay could be a neat topic
Season 13 would be so interesting to hear about from someone who knows how to do analyze it. there were SO MANY highs and lows it was a trainwreck but also incredible at times. love the video!
My thoughts exactly from her first season that Jynxk was a good improviser in the making, and having she performing with Bendela, basically as an improv show, has strengthen that ability waaaaay more.
I think some of the characters were also just not given enough air time, or their better jokes were edited out for the sake of the story line. I really liked Raja's Diana Vreeland, but it's clear that she wasn't given much time to develop or play up her jokes.
I found Trinity's Lucifer to be just such an obvious choice? Like it was cohesive for sure and there were funny moments but every joke was SO obvious, there was never anything I wouldn't have anticipated. Whereas say Monet's Mike Tyson was funny but I wasn't expecting "penis-cillian" as an answer 😅
I was rolling in laughter with Trinity and got shock and the judges said it was obvious make Lucifer gay. I mean… Since when? Not even before in the show that happened before. I think the whole omg I’m gay jokes are def safe or obv, she’s really just saying just of bunch of gay phrases but mixed it Lucifer drag it makes at least my brain go malfunctioning. I was really dying of laughing.
Also you can see how much the other queens know Jinkx is a master at this. On any other season a queen dominating that much time during Snatch Game would be called out for it but the other queens just sit back and watch because it’s so good.
The fairytale justice challenge from AS7 (not 100% improv but thats how they referred to it I think) is another one that showcases Jinkx - the ear falling off & Bruno dropping his book and her immediate retorts were so perfect. Nobody particularly falls flat though.
Don't know how this video was recommended to me... but as a drag queen who dreams they can be on RPDR (and currently taking improve classes) I am glad it was! Love the brakedown, useful. I definitely need to check out the rest of your channel. More please
Good luck WHEN you get on RPDR….it can turn a job into a career. Positive energy. The first step in Improv as I know it is “Yes, and….” Good God Get It Gurl! -Stella Zafella (retired old drag singer from SF)😎💋
You Skip the BEST part, the end after Ru's "time it's up", with Jinx singing the opening of Drag Race "may the best woman win" and Trinity interrupting with "They changed to Drag Queen" 😂. That's THE moment on that Snatch Game. I quote "They changed It to Drag Queen" too much, It was superb comeback. For reference: ua-cam.com/video/HFWhb1V3Sp8/v-deo.htmlsi=rV8QMc6cUjlxNkoJ
Jinkx is incredible but I think what's even more impressive is the work of Trinity, Monet and Raja here because this is not their wheelhouse the way it is in Jinkx's. You can tell they really put the effort and thought in and it showed.
Yvie’s Rico Nasty is an accurate portrayal, but you’re right. The jokes just don’t land. Comedy and acting isn’t really her strong suit, her drag is much more about the aesthetic impact of her character and her lip syncing capabilities, which is up there as one of the strongest in the entire DR franchise.
💯 %on the reference thing. I had no idea what grey gardens was when Jinkx did ages ago it but because the performance was so funny I searched it up and finally got it. I laughed so much even without knowing the reference but laughed even more learned it.
The Lady Chablis was a singer in Savannah, GA. She became fameous for the movie Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. That movie was about a journalist (played by John Cusack) doing a story on a society murder involving an "everybody knows he's gay but it isn't publicly said" socialite played by Kevn Spacey. The murder was a real one in Savannah history, and the filmmakers made the movie in Savannah featuring real people who are local color in town. The Lady Chablis was one of them. She played herself in the movie, as it was determined that (a) she was still alive, and (b) she sure as heck knew how to play the part. It didn't matter that she was X years old when making the movie, but she had been X-Y when the events originally happened. She was compelling and delightful.
I just had such a face/palm moment with why it's called the Snatch Game! I didn't know the old game show was called the Match Game in the US (it's called Blankety Blank here 🇬🇧).Suddenly it all makes sense!
I'd love to see ur break down of Bendela's appearances on snatch game. To this day I still didn't get over the "Excuse me, we invented the language!" line 😂
You should absolutely watch season 5 snatch game, jinx’s little Edie is damn good and it was one of the first out of left field characters that proved people wrong
i really liked this video and hope you keep making more of these. however, i'd love to see MORE of your insight and knowledgeable commentary on the material you're watching, please don't be afraid to interrupt the piece you're analyzing, that's i think why most of us are here for.
Your comments aren’t wrong for the audience but ultimately you should be doing who you think Ru knows and will make him laugh. So what if a viewer doesn’t know who a character is, if Ru thinks you’re funny that’s literally all that matters.
Thank you so much for this reaction video. I fell in love with Jinkx in Season 5 Snatch Game when she did little Eddie. I didn't know of Little Eddie until that, (so relate t what you said when you are unaware of who they are portraying). Jinkx is my Queen of All Queens and sooo deserve her title.
The rainbow piece was only funny because we know Judy was an actress/singer. There was nowhere else for Jinkx to go with that, really, to make it memorable! Chef's kiss!
Jaida’s charm makes it all work so perfectly for me, I just laugh at everything she does here lol. Not on a Jinkx or Monet or Raja level but it’s great.
Dela, Jinkx and Bob are my favs and this particular Snatch Game surpasses all others. Dela's portrayal of Dame Maggie Smith (We invented the language), Jinkx doing Little Edie and Bob as Uzo Aduba/Carol Channing were all outstanding characterizations and very funny improv bits. Thanks for the fun review!
It’s absolutely no shock that Jinkx is Queen of the Queens. My partner and I have been huge fans of hers since her original season. So much of a fan that she inspired our dog’s name when we rescued her. Shes a beautiful pit bull and we named Jynx.
any excuse to watch Jinx slay a snatch game! love the insight you have on the characterizations as well. will have to check out some more of your videos
It's funny you say you knew Martin because it was on at home all the time, but you didn't get the Lady Chablis reference (or Diana Vreeland or Madame). I understood Lady Chablis immediately, Ru even says it as from the Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. That was an amazing movie! And should be known in the LGBTQ+ community... it has a gay main character and had drag queens and the charm of the south. I've been watching Drag Race for years! If there's a character I don't know, I Google it. Growing up in the 80s I knew who Madame was. I don't watch the Office and I only started watching Doctor Who in the last couple years, so I don't know Katherine Tate, but with any character, if they make them funny, it doesn't matter if we don't know. Reminds me of Jinkx's Little Edie from season 5, I didn't understand that reference at all, but I was so intrigued I had to find out.
Little Edie was genius! A lot of people have no idea who the hell she is and, and she was so interesting and great that you could understand her character!
You should watch S14's snatch game. The trainwreck that it was should be reviewed by someone who is actually good at the game. Love your videos so far!

People from that era have all watched and loved the same things for years. That is why Raja picked Madame, because Ru would love it. The entire point of the Snatch Game is to make Ru laugh. That's how you win it!
Jynkx used the echo of the Frank Sinatra joke later in the season during the set where the queens were roasting each other. She said she was sniffing a line when she had time to stop and consider: "have I become my mother?"
Bendalacreme and Jinks Monsoon are Snatch Game powerhouses.
See the thing about snatch game isnt always to understand the character but its about making it funny. Like when Jinkx did little Eadie no one knew who that was
I think featuring either of BenDeLaCreme's appearances would be a great followup and masterclass!
As an amateur, one of the things I noticed about Jinx’s Judy Garland, was how she juxtaposed seeming obliviousness with smart jokes. She played into Judy being a bit out of it, which could be a combination of her drug use and just being from a different time, making the smart comebacks and jokes hit that much harder.
I think if you’re gonna do more RPDR a video on the read challenges and more specifically going into the meta process of joking about others in your improv group and setting appropriate improv boundaries around what is or isn’t okay could be a neat topic
Like Heidi in as8 during snatch game lol
Thank you 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 she needs to move onto something else 💯
The reading challenge is not really improv tho
Season 13 would be so interesting to hear about from someone who knows how to do analyze it. there were SO MANY highs and lows it was a trainwreck but also incredible at times. love the video!
Rose's Mary Queen of Scots is underrated genius.
Oh! You miss the last bit at the end when Jinkx keeps on singing and everyone breaks character and laugh 😁
My thoughts exactly from her first season that Jynxk was a good improviser in the making, and having she performing with Bendela, basically as an improv show, has strengthen that ability waaaaay more.
*Jinkx
That judy garland had me CRYING! I remember i was watching it on demand and I had to rewind multiple times cause I kept missing parts from laughing.
I think some of the characters were also just not given enough air time, or their better jokes were edited out for the sake of the story line. I really liked Raja's Diana Vreeland, but it's clear that she wasn't given much time to develop or play up her jokes.
I found Trinity's Lucifer to be just such an obvious choice? Like it was cohesive for sure and there were funny moments but every joke was SO obvious, there was never anything I wouldn't have anticipated. Whereas say Monet's Mike Tyson was funny but I wasn't expecting "penis-cillian" as an answer 😅
I was rolling in laughter with Trinity and got shock and the judges said it was obvious make Lucifer gay. I mean… Since when? Not even before in the show that happened before. I think the whole omg I’m gay jokes are def safe or obv, she’s really just saying just of bunch of gay phrases but mixed it Lucifer drag it makes at least my brain go malfunctioning. I was really dying of laughing.
Also you can see how much the other queens know Jinkx is a master at this. On any other season a queen dominating that much time during Snatch Game would be called out for it but the other queens just sit back and watch because it’s so good.
The fairytale justice challenge from AS7 (not 100% improv but thats how they referred to it I think) is another one that showcases Jinkx - the ear falling off & Bruno dropping his book and her immediate retorts were so perfect. Nobody particularly falls flat though.
NOOOO SHE MISSED THE ENDING OMG NOOO
Wayland Flowers and Madame were amazing. You should check out some clips.
Raja really nailed Madame.
Yvie Oddly's sex symbol Boogeyman was so underrated.
Kevin Burton as Monet X Change as Martin Lawrence as Sheneneh
Don't know how this video was recommended to me... but as a drag queen who dreams they can be on RPDR (and currently taking improve classes) I am glad it was! Love the brakedown, useful. I definitely need to check out the rest of your channel. More please
Good luck WHEN you get on RPDR….it can turn a job into a career. Positive energy.
The first step in Improv as I know it is “Yes, and….”
Good God Get It Gurl!
-Stella Zafella (retired old drag singer from SF)😎💋
I'd love to see you react to either the all stars 7 fairy-tale courtroom drama or the all stars 8 criminal investigation drama
31:26 I mean, c’mon Mr. Boogeyman, there’s nothing but space and opportunity up in here.” 😂
So good, loving your reactions! Missed the end song though, everyone breaking and the Leslie Jordan final comment was my favourite bit 😂
Ru sets them all up so well for success with the questions
You Skip the BEST part, the end after Ru's "time it's up", with Jinx singing the opening of Drag Race "may the best woman win" and Trinity interrupting with "They changed to Drag Queen" 😂. That's THE moment on that Snatch Game.
I quote "They changed It to Drag Queen" too much, It was superb comeback.
For reference: ua-cam.com/video/HFWhb1V3Sp8/v-deo.htmlsi=rV8QMc6cUjlxNkoJ
Jinkx is incredible but I think what's even more impressive is the work of Trinity, Monet and Raja here because this is not their wheelhouse the way it is in Jinkx's. You can tell they really put the effort and thought in and it showed.
raja was robbed of top2
Trinity played the same character twice, with expected gay jokes.
@@DalsemienNah, even if both characters are gay, you can see the difference between them.
@@ntuneric Her Madame was way stronger than her Diana Vreeland.
@@humps678I still think it should have been Jinkx and Raja.
Jada's impersonation was so bad it was funny xD
I would love to see your take on the Fairytale Justice Improv Challenge this season 💕
I said that too! Plus the csi type improv episode in AS8. Jimbo and Lala and Jessica were all fantastic
@@TheDopekitty Oh yes! Loved that one too
I love Trinity's "the producers' take on her devil
I grew up watching The Wizard of Oz, and didn’t care. Watching Jinx, made me deep dive into Judy’s whole life. lol MASTER CLASS!
Yvie’s Rico Nasty is an accurate portrayal, but you’re right. The jokes just don’t land. Comedy and acting isn’t really her strong suit, her drag is much more about the aesthetic impact of her character and her lip syncing capabilities, which is up there as one of the strongest in the entire DR franchise.
Not Really tho. Rico has energy but is not annoying
💯 %on the reference thing. I had no idea what grey gardens was when Jinkx did ages ago it but because the performance was so funny I searched it up and finally got it. I laughed so much even without knowing the reference but laughed even more learned it.
Excuse me but Jinx Monsoon is perfect
I would say season 2, 4 and 5 have my favourite high highs and low lows
Also Jinkx's "Is this my camera" is the best bit
That’s actually exactly how I see the devil so the impression was spot on
This is so lovely to see RPDR is getting more recognition, queer art deserves more attention than it gets.
The Lady Chablis was a singer in Savannah, GA. She became fameous for the movie Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. That movie was about a journalist (played by John Cusack) doing a story on a society murder involving an "everybody knows he's gay but it isn't publicly said" socialite played by Kevn Spacey. The murder was a real one in Savannah history, and the filmmakers made the movie in Savannah featuring real people who are local color in town. The Lady Chablis was one of them. She played herself in the movie, as it was determined that (a) she was still alive, and (b) she sure as heck knew how to play the part. It didn't matter that she was X years old when making the movie, but she had been X-Y when the events originally happened.
She was compelling and delightful.
i think the bitchelor is a really good character focused improv challenge that showed many highs and lows from All Stars 3
I just had such a face/palm moment with why it's called the Snatch Game! I didn't know the old game show was called the Match Game in the US (it's called Blankety Blank here 🇬🇧).Suddenly it all makes sense!
My favorite snatch game performance of all time is Nina Bonina doing Jasmine Masters lol
I think think about her, "I don't own a cat, they sense evil" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I LOVE the snatch game from seasons 5, 6, all stars 2 and 4. BenDeLaCreme doing Dame Maggie Smith is still one of my favorites ❤
"We originated the language!"
@@Superplin such a genius response!
I'd love to see ur break down of Bendela's appearances on snatch game. To this day I still didn't get over the "Excuse me, we invented the language!" line 😂
That was improv at its finest, cause it was in reaction to someone who wasn’t really throwing low hanging fruit…quite the quick wit!
Forever my favourite Jinx improv moment is when her ear falls off in the storybook trial challenge 🤣
You should absolutely watch season 5 snatch game, jinx’s little Edie is damn good and it was one of the first out of left field characters that proved people wrong
this was delightful, ty the only thing that tops Jinx's performance was her iconic appearance in Doctor Who!
i really liked this video and hope you keep making more of these. however, i'd love to see MORE of your insight and knowledgeable commentary on the material you're watching, please don't be afraid to interrupt the piece you're analyzing, that's i think why most of us are here for.
Your comments aren’t wrong for the audience but ultimately you should be doing who you think Ru knows and will make him laugh. So what if a viewer doesn’t know who a character is, if Ru thinks you’re funny that’s literally all that matters.
Good point, I mean look how hard Valentina's Eartha Kit bombed because Ru had no idea who Izma was
Thank you so much for this reaction video. I fell in love with Jinkx in Season 5 Snatch Game when she did little Eddie. I didn't know of Little Eddie until that, (so relate t what you said when you are unaware of who they are portraying). Jinkx is my Queen of All Queens and sooo deserve her title.
Little Edie. Sadly, I had never known anything of Little Edie.
i gotta say one of my favorite snatch game performances ever is katya as björk 😭
Jaida's Prince will always have me on the floor the performance was soooo messy I love it 😂😂😂
Yvie’s Boogieman is probably inspired by the Boogeyman from Powerpuff Girls
What Jinxx did was a miracle! Perfection ❤😊
The rainbow piece was only funny because we know Judy was an actress/singer. There was nowhere else for Jinkx to go with that, really, to make it memorable! Chef's kiss!
Jaida’s charm makes it all work so perfectly for me, I just laugh at everything she does here lol. Not on a Jinkx or Monet or Raja level but it’s great.
Dela, Jinkx and Bob are my favs and this particular Snatch Game surpasses all others. Dela's portrayal of Dame Maggie Smith (We invented the language), Jinkx doing Little Edie and Bob as Uzo Aduba/Carol Channing were all outstanding characterizations and very funny improv bits. Thanks for the fun review!
Please do more! I am here for this Snatch Game review series.
What I love about The Dave joke is that she sets it up in her introduction when she says she's dead. Then later on we get the actual punchline.
We need more Snatch Game Reactions. You would LOVE Canada’s Drag Race season 1 Snatch Game, Jimbo’s Joan Rivers & Rita Baga’s Edith Piaf are hilarious
i would LOVE to see you react to season 14's snatch game
HELPP 😭😭😭
It’s absolutely no shock that Jinkx is Queen of the Queens. My partner and I have been huge fans of hers since her original season.
So much of a fan that she inspired our dog’s name when we rescued her. Shes a beautiful pit bull and we named Jynx.
You missed the last part!! So good!!
any excuse to watch Jinx slay a snatch game! love the insight you have on the characterizations as well. will have to check out some more of your videos
Jinkx is my favorite queen of all. I'd also love to see you react to some of Jimbo's comedy on the various franchises Jimbo has bern in.
Imagine going into Snatch Game knowing that Jinkx is gonna be there. You just wouldn't even bother to try.
I honestly thoughtwhen I first saw this, the boogeyman was a connection to the Powerpuff girls boogeyman lol
Cause it is!!!!!
Raja's Madame is *iconic*. Having the control rods on her wrists is just so fantastic
Jada's Prince is an all-time favorite it's so endearingly dumb and not at all necessary to analyze
You do realise that there is a huge Drag Race audience in the UK and european countries that watched Katherine Tate.
Jinkx called me an ass once.
It's funny you say you knew Martin because it was on at home all the time, but you didn't get the Lady Chablis reference (or Diana Vreeland or Madame). I understood Lady Chablis immediately, Ru even says it as from the Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. That was an amazing movie! And should be known in the LGBTQ+ community... it has a gay main character and had drag queens and the charm of the south.
I've been watching Drag Race for years! If there's a character I don't know, I Google it.
Growing up in the 80s I knew who Madame was. I don't watch the Office and I only started watching Doctor Who in the last couple years, so I don't know Katherine Tate, but with any character, if they make them funny, it doesn't matter if we don't know. Reminds me of Jinkx's Little Edie from season 5, I didn't understand that reference at all, but I was so intrigued I had to find out.
GIRL YOU CUT IT OFF BEFORE IT WAS HILARIOUS LMAOOO
Jinkx also did great in her original Snatch Game back in season 5, but in a much smaller role than this grand performance.
Little Edie was genius! A lot of people have no idea who the hell she is and, and she was so interesting and great that you could understand her character!
@@xmtryanx I didn't knew her! She made me watch her doc. But it was sad. And the movie with Drew lol
Jadas prince was awesome - its like how he was in interviews 😂 genx here!
You should watch S14's snatch game. The trainwreck that it was should be reviewed by someone who is actually good at the game. Love your videos so far!
