  • I love how they continue to name streaming services all throughout the musical even though it was only required in the one song 😂
  • @statsy150
    I love how they create on accident some amazing lyrics that are so meaningful and relatable like “there’s too much choice, so you choose none and limit your voice”
  • My god, the way they manage to signal punchlines to each other in advance so they can harmonize on them is incredible.
  • @npc92
    the way she just gets his hinting for rebirth=renaissance is just epic and half man half centaur = 2/3 centaurs true facts are hilarious
  • Gosh you'd never think improv could get harder until you realise something like this exists. This is like improv on crack and steroids combined. The sheer amount of talent this takes
  • I must say, as much as I love this show, I don't think the "shorts" really capture what makes it so good. It isn't just funny songs made up on the spot, it's the way they take the littlest thing from the beginning, and build on it until it takes over the whole show. They took a flub about being 1/2 man, 1/2 centaur (i.e. 2/3 man, and 1/3 horse) and just ran with it. Even the little callbacks in the finale about the principal and the pizza pockets get their due. It's all wonderful! Glad more people get to see this now
  • @TylerLeeJones
    8:27 Zach is a god at this, he picked up that it was gonna be "crunchy roll" AND correctly guessed how the harmony part should match the melody, 10/10
  • @dabududu
    I'm so glad these spin of Game Changer shows got spawned. It's so fun to watch the people craft wild songs and stories! Dropout is so worth the cost
  • @nat2057
    I love how despite the fact that both humans and horses are mammals, the centaurs lay eggs

  • @theblaze5530
    I just realized how much I needed improvised musicals in my life
  • @MushroomHat
    They’re gonna improvise a show, cause they’re professionals! 🐟⚾️
  • Jess’s song about Michelangelo is the most impressive thing I’ve ever seen committed to film. It’s so good that it would still be impressive if she’d written it in advance. The fact that she did it on the spot is ridiculous.
  • @elaiej
    31:15 Jess realises that Ross was going to say 'work of art' a few moments before he says it because of the rhyme, and starts laughing. My favourite part. I like that he used that moment to tie in the earlier characters as representations of his friends.
  • @itmedana
    holy shit the fact that the guitarist perfectly harmonised zach's melodic line at 6:59 is INSANEEE. huuuuuge props to the band, they are what makes this show for me
  • “Eggplant peach eggplant peach Brendan… sorry that was not for you!” “Silver Alert: missing elderly” This is so funny 😂😂😂😂
  • @theducvu5196
    The absolute best part of the Jamesinaur character is how many times they go back to making fun of the "historical centaur" idea
  • @barilllapasta
    No matter how long they do this I will never stop being impressed by how in synch Zach and Jess are
  • @era_s
    This was the correct episode to upload in full, IMO. Really shows off everything amazing about the show.
