I can't get over Jeff the musical genius having such confused dad energy when it comes to technology. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ayo shoutout to Jon with just the most iconic line of the whole show. Like, it must be so cool to see that this moment is like the defining scene. Also, his delivery was impeccable. He somehow nailed the combo of being absolutely terrified, but trying to muster all his defiance and self-assurance to try and prove Jagerman wrong. So good.

I love that Jon counts Will’s abs each time he sees them lmao

It took me two rewatches before I realised the line is 'He's the horror in every rumor.' and not 'He's the whore in every rumor.'

Will: is in any scene Jon: Will is so good in this scene :D

I want Jeff to do a cover of Max Jaegermans songs because I know he would’ve been that character in the older Starkid days; he’s basically Aladdin.

Jon “we’re both coming in clear they can hear us” meanwhile chat is exploding with saying that they can’t hear Jeff

I feel like these streams are just an excuse for Jon to compliment his friends, which is completely valid.

* I love watching Jon and Jeff realise things about their musical that the fans already figured out

I love that the first chunk of this is just them figuring out what a computer is

First, Jeff's music in NPMD is by far my fave music he's ever done. Like, I love the songs in Trail to Oregon and TGWDLM, but I think NPMD surpasses them all in terms of catchiness and emotional content. Second, I love that Jon picks out so many of the things that I love watching these musicals. The chorus characters are always some of my faves because of how much you can see the actors throw themselves into these different characters over the course of the show.

Jon saying he paid a lot for vocal lessons to hit the note in I’m Dead - money well spent. You can really hear the difference in his vocals from TGWDLM to NPMD, his intro song is clleeeaaannnnn 😩💕😩💕

Jon gives big "chill white man" energy. He's like your average millennial-ish polite white guy who gives friendly dad vibes.

"I'm dead" and "i'm not a loser" are clearly the two superior lines in npmd. I don't make the rules!

"Class of 20-twenty-wern" feels like Trail to Oregon, that's what it makes me think of.

Jon everytime there’s a full body shot of Will in Dirty Girl: ONE TWO THREE FOUR FIVE SIX SEVEN EIGHT :D

Richie’s death hurts so much because he, like Pete before him, is following the societal beliefs that if you stand up to the bully he’ll lose his power. And like Pete was immediately taught, that’s never true. You can’t stop him. No matter how sure of yourself, how happy you are now. Kills me every time, man

i still think you need a "nani?!" alert in your twitch chat as a sub alert. i remember immediately thinking that when the musical came out.

28:54 Is the actual real start-time of the musical for fellow fun-haters like myself

just wanna say the voice lessons paid off for more than that first high note! i can tell you for sure have improved :)

1:38:24 Lowkey confirming my theory that the "who will pray for me" part of Nerdy Prudes Must Die was actually foreshadowing Grace's turn in Dirty Dudes Must Die because of how different the lyrics hit considering her character

If TGWDLM highlighted Jon’s fantastic acting (both emotional and comedic), then NPMD really highlighted how far he’s come musically. Already a top 3 starkid to me

Jon nails the note: I think I did alright could’ve done better.

Jon, you have my favorite line in the whole musical with the "No, he thinks the ghost is real, he's just really fucking brave" 10/10 writing and delivery

I don't know why Jeff saying "I need to eat something or I'm gonna die" made me laugh harder than literally anything else they said in the commentary, lol.

In case you're wondering, it starts at 0:01, 1:16, 9:36, 21:15, and 28:19

Why is Jeff acting like he's about two seconds from completely snapping throughout most of this?

I feel like the scene in TGWDLM where Jeff yeets Paul's phone actually stemmed from a irl deeprooted hatred of modern technology.. "UUUUGHH WEAR A WATCH "

Jon complimenting everyone in the company, Jeff vibing to his own music... you can tell they love what they do. And that goes for everyone in Starkid. Obviously you have to love it to put all the hard work into it, but I'm so happy seeing how much those in Starkid absolutely LOVE what they do, the work they put into their shows, and love who they work with

Getting here an hour after is a giant disappointment in myself

Honestly, the whole technical difficulties at the start makes me appreciate streamers just a little bit more for what they have to set up. Good on you for doing it live.

I always thought the snapping in bully the bully felt awkward, glad to know it was intentional!!

Jon, you smashed every role in this musical! I wish you got more praise from Jeff here, I get he's in a bad mood but he could still be more supportive in my opinion

why is jeff on the edge of loosing his actual mind

Hey Jon, just wanna let ya know that I listen to you your first lines of singing over and over again. I adore it 💜 your singing is wonderful.

Tech Support the musical

I went to see it live and the entire first act I was like « what the hell is barbecue monologues »

"Bootleg DVDs haven't been a thing for like 15 years" Me, remembering that I had a creepy manager that tried to sell underage kids hooch, weed, and bootlegs in the year 2018. It's only been 5 years since someone tried to get me to buy a pirated movie.

Gosh, Jeff needs a snickers.

30:31 The cops are only commenting about the 'Jägerman boy' having disappeared. They do not confirm that Max is dead.

So, we got a short film for Workin' Boys. When will we get to see Barbecue Monologues? More important, when do we get the full movie of Santa Clause Goes to High School?

Is Jeff ever not chaotic ... like ever ?

I see that Jon is also a man of culture (on jazz-fireplace-ambience-youtube)

So why is the house named the “Waylon” place instead of “Whalen” place? My head cannon is that Kim is a descendant.

You all should be so incredibly proud of this show!! The music is absolutely top notch and the choreography, set design, acting, and singing are all seriously show stopping

Really Jon you nailed the singing! I was the whole time just gushing how amazing you sounded!

Oh my god I really thought 'wow nice I wonder what Jon Matteson thinks of Richie's performance haha this was awesome I wonder if he's friends with the actor' before I realized

the real star of the show is the wiggly in the background of jon’s screen

This is such a convo between my grumpy confused dad and my so trying to be patient and supportive akdbsksj I'm sorry to Jeff but his energy 😂 talking over Jon's singing too 🥺

im so hurt i missed it. incredible show guys

29:52 I think there isn't any problem with the whole "first the Jägerman boy and now this" thing. Sure they find Richie dead first but yeah Max goes missing well before that as mentioned. Though yeah I can understand why people get confused. I love the whole starting with Richie singing "I'd dead" and then Ruth singing about someone coming for her. It kinda foreshadows what happens with Max's kills later. First time around watching it wasn't exactly clear this was a time jump backwards between the opening cop scene and the opening song but it works really well. 32:28 I assumed that the dog line was a reference to Count Dankula and the dog he taught to do the Nazi salute etc but that would have been a few years before the time setting if you want to over think this. 44:10 I hadn't actually thought of that "I won't rest" line, that's brilliant. 48:10 That has to be the perfect impersonation of a know it all nerd with no real people skills. The circles I run in are so deep with that personality type that its etched into my brain, they are my people (even if they can be annoying). Most, like Richeie, actually are pretty cool if they get a chance. Oh yeah and Richie's hair read Weeb wanting to be Anime to me, especially after the lines about the body pillows and Attack on Titan lol. 57:45 I only did this recently but reading the newspaper headlines is a treat, some nice references in there. 58:50 there is so much good comedy in the show but there was something about the delivery of these lines and the faces pulled that has me in stitches every time 59:42 well it was already said that even she isn't allowed to see herself naked and so she bathes in a swimsuit lol 1:00:50 I'm going to be that guy and point out that technically that's not a crucifix because it is a bare cross, and Grace would probably know the difference.

Jeff is such a grumpy gills my goodness!😂 Props to you for your patience, Jon. And I was absolutely blown away by your vocals in this show!!

Jeff deserve to vibin' to his own BOP. Also Jon, I think that voice lesson is worth it.

I appreciate that little detail Jon added to Richie with his nervous itching. I’ve always been a scratcher when I get nervous. Panic attacks were the worst because I’d end up scratching my skin til it bled.

How do you feel knowing you had the most influential line in the show? ‘I’m not a loser’ at the end of ‘Nerdy Prudes Must Die’ resonated so hard with so many people and you absolutely killed the delivery man, it gave me literal chills. Awesome work. (Ps: people need to give your character voice as Wiggly more love too because it was also incredible)

i cant wait for the spotify drop

I've watched this NPMD enough to have it mostly memorized, so listening to this at work without watching is so fun 🥰🤣

i had put off seeing this show for a really long time but finally a clip of it had come up on my tik tok. it was your opening in high school is killing me. it was so gorgeous i literally dropped everything that I was doing to watch the show finally. jeff is such an incredible composer and songwriter, and your voice had me FLOORED, i probably replayed that first verse about a hundred times before i continued the show truly

i cant believe i got here 10 minutes after it ended

I wanna say, an au where they do get to be friends would be cool. Especially cause like there’s signs he could be. Like he’s admittedly scared of the ghosts and skel’eon- but seeing Steph his first instinct is to protect her.

My god people followind Starkid since forever and still are annoying about Jeff. He is like that since always. He always is a chaotic, head-on-clouds, deadpan, highly sarcastic and all-over-the placr energetic genius. I can't believe people are still saying that he's bein rude or whatever. Surely you can't say from just one stream and sure you can't know better than a guy who is his friend since 8 years or a company thst is working with him since forever. Get a grip, jeez.

jeff dancing to his own songs is funny to me

Starkid is where I come when I need comfort or I'm really high

if you put the song “dirty girl” is 2x speed, it sound like a great pop song 😆

I havent watched Starkid since AVPM and bro the way im immediately obsessed and have watched NPMD like 4 times already HAHAHA its just soooo good! I love the twist at the end with steph and pete, the harmonies and layering is crazy good, the acting, singing and casting is just so good and angelas facials make me crack up everytime. Truly one of my favourites to watch (and you know for a fact ive watched hella "slime tutorials" LMAO) So truely hats off to everyone involved in this production.

Just wanted to let you know, youre fantastic in this! (And I love seeing a sort of behind the scenes thing, like your take on some of the songs and moments.) You were great in TGWDLM too but obviously you didnt have much to sing there, and having the audience not know you as a singer/performer added to the tension in the show. So you were great in that show too but you can see how much youve improved even from that, its clear youve put a ton of work into it and I love the strength, clarity, and great tone you have throughout the entire show. I especially loved the completely unhinged Lords in Black parts! Fantastic writing, great music from Jeff, amazing casting and wonderful performances from everyone, special mention to you, Joey, and Mariah especially! (I miss Jaime though!) Great work!

YYYYYEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!! What a fantastic watch, thanks so much for doing this again. Having Jeff on this time to hear his insight was awesome! I could watch part two on twitch now but I think I'll just wait for the youtube upload. Funny you were saying how Will is a huge dnd nerd, I'm about to watch a dnd stream otherwise part two would go on now. Thanks again. For what it's worth if you got different cast members together for other Starkid productions and did this I would pay upwards of dozens of dollars for every show and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Never expected to hear the words “waifu material” come out of Jon’s mouth but-

Hatchetfield watchparties are my comfort videos ❤

A perfect stream with no issues at all

1:06:07 INTO THE WOODS REFERENCE⁉️

I want someone to look at me the way Will looks at Angela in Dirty Girl… but then again Max was just a fantasy in that so maybe that wouldn’t work lol

Tell me why Will fucking Roland was in the chat y’all🤕🤕

"what if we get DMCA'ed" By... who? XD is starkid going to DMCA starkid?

you've improved so much over the past couple years vocally! super super proud of you, excited to see what you do next!

1:02:00 Jon just completely thirsting over Will

How the hell did it take me so long to realize Jon plays Richie. It literally took him saying shit about being in the show for me to be like"... Waaaaaaait a minute." In my brain when he'd say upcoming stuff I was like "ah, prewatched" like no, ya dunce, pre-MADE

I will never get over that high note in "im not a loser!!" I love it to much teach me your ways jon

I’ve been keeping my eye out for this upload for a long time!!! So excited that the day is finally here!

I always thought it was "There's nowhere to turn, for the class of Twenty-Twenty-First" 😂

This show was absolutely phenomenal! ❤ Thank you for uploading the commentary to KZfaq, and I can't wait to watch you live on Twitch!

Fun to hear insights from both of you, this is truly an amazing show, and Jon I hope you know how much the work you put in paid off, the emotions in the character, the vocals, the timing of both the comedy and the heartfelt moments, it rocks.

Shout out to Jon for pulling me into the rabbit hole that is StarKid with like the best performance ever and becoming my favorite person

you were AMAZING! those lessons really payed off!! love from brazil 💖🇧🇷

Jon, you are such a creative inspiration. I’m so blown away by you. For your incredible range in both your acting and vocal skills. And also how genuinely proud and supportive you are of your cast mates. You seem like a lovely guy and I love watching you perform every time ❤

Thanks for the sub, this really helps me to watch with a little bit more of confidence as english is not my native language, it's like the training wheels in a bycicle. Also, great job on the musical, another fucking awesome work for the Hatchfield Series

The snapping on 1 and 3 joke is really great. It is really annoying when people clap on 1 and 3 which is a sign of not understanding the genre. I personally imagine drunk older people at the Oktoberfest:D

this is just 20 minutes of Jeff not understanding technology i love it

Jon has such a pleasant face

Every 5 seconds I am trying to butt into the conversation the people on stream who most definitely can not hear me through the screen and I think I’m so silly and whimsical for that

HEY so im several months late but i really need you to know that i saw NPMD a month ago and it's my favorite musical like. period. you both should be incredibly proud of this but jon specifically it's was really cool to see tgwdlm and then this and i can really tell that there was a lot of musical growth there. your performances are always top notch and i can't wait to see cinderella's castle :)

depressed and abhorred that i missed seeing this live

I noticed the peach line too! I was hoping other people saw it but I’d already left a comment on pretty much every other comment on a video relating to NPMD and I didn’t want to comment twice.

Icons being icons, love it ❤

34:26 fuckibg love matilda. so underrated. (totally non biased opinion)

SO ABOUT THE SNAPPING ON 1 AND 3 JOKE: on black twitter there was discussion on how white people clap on 1 and 3, whereas black people clap on 2 and 4

Timezones! *Shakes fist*

1:10:51 yes you can see the little run!

1:30:57 So they're the Victors, and they're the Leaders (and Best?)

the thing about the football timeline, i think they could’ve had another game in between, but they only really care about the big game against clivesdale, so even if they had a game between it wouldn’t have mattered as much. that’s just my take, at least
