What makes me sad is I don't think the intention was to get Riverdale fans to watch Heathers, but to get Heathers fans to watch Riverdale :')

Ryan crawling out of his chair to escape the cringe is so relatable

Ryan getting irritated from Sam saying “heather” instead of “heathers” is SUCH A MOOD LMAO.

The fact that Sam didnt torment him with Dead Girl Walking is so sad 🤣😭

fun fact during candy store when cheryl gets whipped with toni’s hair it wasn’t planned and they added the whip noise bc they thought it sounded “cool”

Ryan's sweater slowly enveloping his head is all you need to know about how well they did

“Isn’t it his whole character, the hat?” Yes. Yes it is.

Alternative title: Ryan having a breakdown because they did Heathers no justice for like 20 minutes

"ready to see candy store?" "They did caHn-" the only valid reaction lmao

Ryans pure pain through this whole video is illegally funny

"fine we're damaged really damaged but that does not make us wise, you cook crystal, you cook crack rock, just be like the other guys" 😂😂😂

The fact that all the main actors don’t even try to hide how much they hate this show in interviews, especially the girl who plays Betty, is hilarious.

Reaction starts at 8:00

Ryan’s frequent looks of disgust during ‘Beautiful’ made me crack up 😂

Ryan spending like 2 minutes complaining about the fact that Jughead isn’t wearing his beanie is what I live for😭✋

This is a masterpiece. Not the riverdale heathers. Ryan's reactions. It's a mood. My current mood while watching this

This is actually 23 minutes of Ryan having to remember he’s working for the CW in a new show.

As someone who's seen neither Heathers nor Riverdale, I need to go see Heathers and redeem what I just witnessed 🏃🏾‍♀️

"They didn't do that, that's ridiculous... i just went in and dubbed over." I actually cackled

The biggest missed opportunity in this episode (not mentioning all the problems), was that at some point, Jughead and Betty burn down an RV together and they could have sang a bit of "Meant to be yours" while they watched the fire

“Nothing we do is with mockery in our hearts” *a few seconds later* “This isn’t Heathers this is Frankenstein’s MONSTER of Heathers” *a few minutes later* just gets up and runs away 😭😭 I love them

Ryan's rendition of Seventeen about drugs had me ON THE FLOOR. I laughed so hard that I scared my cat.

Fun fact: I used to be a fan of Riverdale (until it started getting progressively weirder during season 3 after which I stopped watching) and I remember watching this episode wondering what on Earth was happening. However, as much as I was not a fan of the singing, I thought the songs themselves sounded really good and I decided to watch the proper musical for Heathers and I absolutely loved it (and I can now see how it was absolutely butchered...). So silver linings I guess?

I was very sad Martha wasn’t even in the episode. I played Martha in Heathers and I feel like she’s very integral to the plot lol

upsettingly riverdale is how i found heather and musical theatre in general 😭 but now musical theatre is my life so in a sense i am happy abt it

Ryan singing a Seventeen verse about cooking crystal made my day tbh. Heathers x Breaking Bad crossover next

Fun fact they used the high school version for candy store which is why many of the more iconic lyrics were changed😂😂. You can see the credited the high school version of heathers in the ending credits, plus I think seventeen was the only song in this episode that came even somewhat close to being within the same context as the original😂

Probably off topic (or maybe it's not?) But I love Ryan's singing voice in the Heather's soundtrack. I love his interpretation of JD slipping into madness.

cole's low notes "really blow" but his HIGHS?? absolutely amazing, that's what makes me actually love this version of 17 (although it has no context lmao)

When I say I SCREAMED (laughed) to Ryan’s reaction to Jughead beginning to sing “Seventeen”. Also the comment of CW “telling Cole Sprouse to sing when Disney didn’t” made me laugh. Never knew I needed this video until I saw this come up! But please watch their Big Fun and Dead Girl Walking. Those will be very funny reactions haha! (Also, the lyric changes were based on the high school versions of Heathers) Edit: Whenever I watched this episode live as already being a Heathers fan, I was cringing at the “harmonies” and the lack of emotion in all the songs. Casey Cott (brother of Corey Cott who’s known for being the second Jack Kelly and Donny Novitski) sang actually pretty decently, though.

i love how ryan hides in his sweater whenever he’s mildly uncomfortable

18:01 - The gasp and shocked facial expression on Ryan's face is just everything- 💀

I love watching Ryan being mad at Riverdale for 23 minutes straight 😂

Ryan is a true musical theater kid, the way he was in pain watching the show. I love it. I was also in pain watching it. I loved heathers and how different cast members would make their character live

8:01 Ryan saying no is the most relatable thing outta this whole video

OH GOD YOU SHOULD OF SHOWED HIM DEAD GIRL WALKING THAT ONE WAS FUNNY💀

A friend of mine said that she hated musical theatre, then admitted that THIS was her only exposure to it. So on a movie night we watched the Rocky Horror Picture Show. She's redeemed. -anyway I love how this whole video is Sam actually explaining the technical issues while Ryan is just there dying inside

I was in Heather's as Heather Duke in 2019 when this came out, and my whole cast and I watched this on my phone in our dance studio in absolute SHOCK

I love how traumatized Ryan looked Also I’m a super big fan of heathers! I really admire your work Ryan.

Heads up: they were doing the high school production in this episode, so that’s why they cut out a lot of stuff and why some of the lyrics are weird/changed. (Such as the “doorknob” one). Personally I think it was horrible. I would say that to improve it they shouldn’t have let certain people (*cough* KJ and Cole *cough*) sing. They used a lot of auto tune even though a lot of the cast members CAN sing well. There shouldn’t have been a musical episode anyways though tbh. You should react to the Carrie episode next.

Lmao “I feel like I’m listening to Lion King but watching Finding Nemo” omg I love you Ryan

Ryan's face when Cole sprouse started singing is priceless

16:59 just look at the cuteness walking in the background omg

"But that does not make us wise" "You cook crystal" I'M CRYING

oh god, that whole episode felt like a fever dream

If I had visceral reactions to the clips included in this video, I CANNOT IMAGINE Ryan's true feelings inside. The cuts in "Beautiful" made me irrationally angry. Both of your reactions were so much fun to watch!

ryan slayed as JD. Hes my favourite one! the vocals i wish i saw him.

“let’s get right into it!” also eight minutes into the video they start reacting at 7:57 💀

Him covering his face with his sweater and saying "you cook crystal" sent me

i was watching this with my friend and she was like "OMG THATS THE GUY FROM LIV AND MADDIE" 💀 😭

I was singing Big Fun with a friend and we got to when the Heathers sing about Martha and a girl came up to us and ask why we were singing RIVERDALE at that moment my friend and I almost cried in shame 😭😭

I truly wasn't expecting this to ever happen 💀💀

Ryan continuing to cringe further into himself is so funny

20:21” the oRIGINAL SOURCE MATERIAL” did anyone else hear that in Alex Brightmans voice 😭

Cole and Dylan did sing with Disney! They did "A Dream is A Wish Your Heart Makes" with a bunch of other Disney channel stars as a part of the Disney Circle of Stars group! There were a bunch of music videos with covers of classic Disney songs back then. Dylan and Cole sang a VERY small part, but they still did it!! Good times. Absolutely LOVED hearing Cole sing in various episodes of Riverdale. Also pretty sure the cast was aware there would be singing pretty early on since there's singing in like every other episode. They do one major musical episode per season, but they have at least 1 cover song every other episode.

12:53 the riverdale cast recording actually had the lines “are we gonna have a problem? did zombies eat your brain? we’ve come so far why now are you yanking on my chain” not nearly as funny as the original line, but still kinda cute for cw

They did Carrie the Musical also on Riverdale and I think they did it better than they did Heathers. That's actually what introduced me to Carrie the Musical and made me listen to the original soundtrack so maybe it's working to get people liking theater more than we think

I won't lie, the first time I actually listened to Heathers was in this episode, but it DID make me go listen to the original, and now it's one of my favorite musicals!

TBH the Riverdale Heathers is actually what got me into Heathers the musical and the movie and I’m actually thankful to riverdales horrid mess for introducing me to Heathers

Honestly Cole Sprouse did really well considering he isn’t a singer, but yknow when I heard him sing Seventeen I honestly immediately thought of Legally Blonde Emmett and “chip on your shoulder” cause yknow what he would actually slay that. If Riverdale is gonna continue to exists (I’ve lost track now) I want a legally blonde episode lol

I love Ryan retreating into his sweater like a turtle like I feel you some of this is atrocious

I was a huge Buffy the Vampire fan and their musical episode was a classic. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend was one big musical series.

8:57 as someone who watched that Riverdale episode at 12 years old and then started getting into musicals and listening to the real Heathers at like 14 I have to confirm.

I’d watched Heathers as a kid (before Riverdale) because my mom introduced it to me and she loved it. Years later I saw the Riverdale Heathers episode and was already intrigued because I thought it was based off the movie not an actual musical. When I saw there was a musical I became obsessed, but I’ve loved musicals since watching phantom of the opera as a kid, we even used to watch it in grade school all the time

Ok why was the paid promotion part so entertaining?? Sam and Ryan are just o funny that they can make anything highly entertaining

Ryan hiding in his sweater for basically the entire video was such a mood!😅

the 5 minute long ad read my god haha

we NEED a part 2 where he reacts to the rest of the songs

i feel Ryan's pain and frustration and it is so entertaining

IT TOOK THEM SO LONG TO GET TO THE ACTUAL REACTION!!!

Barely gets into the episode: Song: *skips around* Ryan: *immediately takes glasses off and slowly dies inside*

sorry but betty slayed vocals and cole genuinely shocked me with the ¿louder? vocals. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. he genuinely has the potential to be a good singer. he has real talent in that area of vocals.

I used to be a Riverdale fan years ago when I was in school and when the heathers episode came out I can remember loving it. I was obsessed with the songs which lead me to the original which i discovered were 1000X better. I ended up going down a heathers rabbit hole and became a big fan of the musical and as much as I hate to admit it now its actually thanks to Riverdale. So try not to worry too much Ryan some good came from this!

Ok... But... 18:33 can we just appreciate the way he sounds so much like JD at the start of meant to be yours? I like- the way he makes the noise its just like.. Jd?

If this is any consolation, when I was younger I was a huge fan of Riverdale and had never heard of Heathers before. When this musical episode came out (keep in mind I was a huge theatre nerd), I saw other fans recommending that we should watch the original source material too. I decided to follow their advice and it immediately became my favourite musical (to this day). In fact, I even auditioned for my first-ever community theatre musical after a few years-long struggle with major stage anxiety. I only auditioned because they were putting on Heathers and there was no way I would miss out on that, anxiety be damned. Now I will be playing Heather Duke in 5 months and am having an absolutely life-changing experience. Kinda crazy to think I owe it all to Riverdale for pointing me towards Heathers, but hey, something good had to come outta that show (no offence to avid Riverdale stans, honestly you have my respect). So, long story short, at least for me, this episode did have a positive effect! I think when watching it, it was pretty obvious that they were taking the songs out of context and applying them to their own storyline. So I knew immediately that the episode wasn't doing the musical any justice, even without having seen it myself! And honestly, it was because of that that I was more inclined to watch the og musical, rather than just taking their adaption as enough of a plot summary to excuse not watching the real thing.

i love how ryan is so enthusiastic about the sponsorship aaa

Im living for Ryan{s saltiness it's everything

I just love how Sams smiling through it all and Ryan is just dying inside

Hardest level of siblings or dating yet

Ryan’s reactions have me dying 😂😂😂😂

Guys honestly you’re so brave for doing this ily

I can safely say that my friends used to love Riverdale and they showed me candy store etc. I was like woah this ain't so bad and when I searched it up I saw the original (the legendary) and I listened to it. Next thing I know I'm watching the whole Heathers the Musical 💀 and I don't regret it at all now

hugging your computer chair for comfort is such a Ryan thing to do 11:28

I was Ryan's twin in this video: never watched riverdale, cringed at the thought of the infamous Heather's episode, watching it with yall for the first time. My skin is abso6crawling, I can't!

ryan just looking absolutely dead inside by the end just kills me

riverdale heathers was my first exposure to the heathers musical, but it got me to watch heathers and now it’s my favourite musical !!

I think I got reverse chills when the riff of candy store happened 😵‍💫

Now we just need Christy Altomare and Derek Klena to watch the episode of Riverdal where they sing songs from Carrie The Musical

Haha Ryan hiding in his sweater during 17😂

You have no idea how i felt when muy classmates would sing the "shut up Heather sorry Heather look's who's with her" part of Big Fun. And i tried to talk to them about the musical or the movie and they were like "tf you takin' about?"

Doorknob is crazy 😂

Ryan hugging his seat for comfort 💀💀💀

Lili Reinhart’s singing shocked me she is actually pretty good

Ryans pure pain in this video is so entertaining.

I was to the brink of tears when Ryan said "you cook crystal" 🤣

I feel like we need a reaction to another musical episode that Sam and Ryan like, but aren't as attached to. Then Ryan will be more able to judge what he thinks about the musical episodes as a concept.

While this episode was kind of confusing for me, a person who hadn’t seen heathers the movie or the musical, some of the music did stick with me, and I did end up looking up the originals. That’s how I found your channel too! One thing lead to another! I got so invested that I did go back to watch the heathers movie. So while the execution wasn’t great, I feel like the intent was there

Also, can we acknowledge how well they cast Jughead as JD in this episode? Like, personality wise from just watching this one video omg they have so many similar mannerisms and I could totally see Jughead having some of these rants 🤣

Ryan having an existential crisis over Jughead’s hat is a god damn mood
