joe's wink to the audience after is just * chef's kiss * perfection. I've heard that he winked at Darren specifically and I'm not sure if that's true, but I so hope it is!!
Caché Fille in the clip right as he says it, you can see someone’s poofy-curly black hair, and then after he winks in that direction, so maybe!!!! I sure hope so!!
after the first three songs i thought: wow you really don't like the music of starship, huh, but then i realised this was a starSHIP song ranking video and not a starKID song ranking video and now i feel stupid
It’s been my favorite one of the musicals since forever. I always get status quo and kick it up a knot he stuck in my head and I love the puppeteer it and aaaaaaazaaah.... it deserves sooooooo much more love
I remember watching a panel at comic-con where someone asked them what the most difficult Starkid show was to make, and they said Starship, and if you can't appreciate why, idk if we can be friends. Puppetry is an underappreciated art that takes a lot of effort, especially to do it in the Avenue Q style where the puppeteer is a part of the character as well, because you have be acting, singing, dancing, and matching your puppet's mouth movements with your own words. It's INCREDIBLY difficult. I am always amazed by every element of Starship, and I think it remains my favorite Starkid show for so many reasons. I agree with your rankings although I think Hideous Creatures is more around the middle for me personally. I can understand why people may disagree though.
Ok, so I don't know if I'm just stupid or way too tired, but i can't figure out the pun.... It actually pains me to write this cuz I feel like I'm being an idiot xD
@@rachellawhead6923 for some reason Ups name didn't even occur to me when I was trying to figure it out. I was thinking 'is this something about his injury?' and stuff like that. Thanks xD
Amy Doherty literally no shame and no worries- I’ve loved starship for a long time, but it took me till this year to get the pun. I also didn’t think about his name being ‘Up’
Okay unpopular opinion coming up but Starship is my favorite of starkid’s musical HOW CAN YOU PUT ALL THESE BEAUTIFUL SONGS IN AN ORDER THEY ARE EQUALLY AMAZING
I honestly think starship might overall have the best music of any starkid show. Even in the weaker songs (which are still amazing) there’s so much great choreography and background acting
@@triphazardd I’m exactly the same! In most of the Starkid musicals, there’s a few songs that I’m not exactly a fan of (don’t get me wrong, there’s 0 songs I dislike!) but in Starship and TGWDLM, I absolutely love every single one of the songs!!
17:16 She said, "Oh, fate is a cruel sting up through the subesophageal ganglion" which according to Google is "a ganglion used to control an insect's mouthparts, salivary glands, and neck muscles"
@@koopiewigglesworth2057 It works on many layers. His name is Up, he has to get back to the guy he used to be (getting up from falling down on the job) and it's also a dick joke.
I was always so baffled by how Dylan Saunders sings what might be the greatest Starkid song of all time with his arms super awkwardly angled above his head the whole time.
....and it was in this video, and not the million other Starship videos I’ve seen, that I realized the line, “now I know we’re suckers, but that guy’s a sucker!” is a pun.... I’m gonna go sit in a corner now and rethink life....
As someone's who's watched Starship all of once, I don't have much of an opinion on your ranking, but it totally is The Little Mermaid and I'm angry that I had to watch a video to figure that out thank you.
ITS INTENDED TO BE TOO!!! Darren criss described it as a mix between Alien and Little Mermaid!!! Thus the quid pro quo like in kick it up a notch too, which is a pretty direct reference!!!!
damn that glee will always be my all time favourite starkid joke its just so perfect and you can even hear darren cackling as the laughter starts to die down
I seriously was surprised to find one of those videos that I haven’t watched before 130 times... then I realized it was posted today I need a life- **cue to ‘Life’ starting**
UHHH YOU DID LIFE SO DIRTY I NO LONGER SUPPORT THIS RANKING Okay I've calmed down a bit, but still, I would have put it like 4th. Starship has always been about, like, the queer experience to me and Life and Status Quo are beautiful in that regard. Like hell yeah babie!!!
the fact that latina godess beautiful queen lauren lopez and supermegafoxyawesomehot amazing joe walker have a ship in this show is too much for my bi-ness to handle
Everything in the album is way better Also now we have Dylan in the role of Pincer’s right claw, and Robert in the role of Snarl’s left paw. Coincidence? I think NOT
Moon Knight Productions Dylan is actually Pincer’s head and Nick is his claw, but I get what you’re saying! Lol starkid random body part puppeteers somehow have so much personality
I think starship is way too underrated TBH it's my favourite starkid musical I mostly agree with your ranking but I think I would switch status quo and way I do and I would put hideous creatures higher
damn good transitions between parts of status quo!!!!! thats my favorite so im happy its so high eta - 12:08 = hamilton move over, your new competition's in town
WAIT FUCKINF 13:54 "All ya gotta do is" Jaime singing TGWDLM Join us and die "All ya gotta do is" JaiME SINGING Do you think they just liked it so much for the villain song that they used it again
You have no idea how much I would pay to see this entire musical animated. The puppetry is absolutely to die for, but I wanna see an artist's rendition of it. The character designs, the choreography. Holy dead god it would be amazing.
Glad I’m not the lot one who thought this is the little mermaid but insects and spaceships rather then a mermaids. This is why I love the show so dearly.
I see how high you put Get Back Up, and I am HERE for it. Also, even though on my list Status Quo would be 1st, I'm not even mad, because The Way I Do and Kick It Up A Notch are both awesome.
*passes the chips* you called? Also thank you SOOOOOOO much for doing this ranking!!!!!! I love Starship so much!!! They did such a great job and puppetry is so freaking hard!
I can confirm...I liked because i give a crap about starship rangers. also can we talk about Brian performance in this play??? it is ⭐perfection⭐ kick it up a notch is also the most ear-blessing song I've ever heard. and I like your smart-ass comments, BTW.
"Damn that G.L.E.E. they're always making twisted abominations of everything" is one of my favorite jokes in Starship
am I the only one who doesn't get that joke?
@@Quinn-bq9sv It's an inside joke of sorts as it references Glee, a show that Darren Criss starred in after he graduated at Michigan.
Okay. At first I thought that, but then I second guessed myself and couldn't be sure
joe's wink to the audience after is just * chef's kiss * perfection. I've heard that he winked at Darren specifically and I'm not sure if that's true, but I so hope it is!!

I didn't realise until I read this comment.
Oh zombie God...
If you don’t think that Starship isn’t underrated, think about how this is one if the only Starship ranking videos.
call me 1929 because I’ve hit a great depression I love your name so much
It’s been my favorite one of the musicals since forever. I always get status quo and kick it up a knot he stuck in my head and I love the puppeteer it and aaaaaaazaaah.... it deserves sooooooo much more love
you want to know whats so underrated.... ani
@@indecisivemess7504 both need more love

The easiest puppet to control seems like it would be Roach.
Starship is my fave Starkid musical too! It deserves more love and attention from the fandom.
@@blainevanity6 I agree!
Lauren only plays two types of characters
1) Sweet innocent little boys
2) Badass women that even (dead) god is afraid of
I was today years old when I found out get back up was a pun
Okay same
Ok, so I don't know if I'm just stupid or way too tired, but i can't figure out the pun.... It actually pains me to write this cuz I feel like I'm being an idiot xD
The commander’s name is Up- and they’re trying to him get back to how he used to be
@@rachellawhead6923 for some reason Ups name didn't even occur to me when I was trying to figure it out.

“My best friend , Roach is dead”
-Bug
“-Even if I killed my best friend!”
-Curt Mega
Alright, that was uncalled for
peacelovechocolate I’m sorry 😂
hEY
Glad to see The Way I Do getting the appreciation it deserves
Gabriella DiTaranto me too, it’s one of my favorite StarKid songs
*14-Year-Old Me seeing Lauren Lopez in Starship for the 1st Time:* Hope this doesn't awaken anything in me
Well it’s too late now 😢
You were a true soldier o7
You left out the best part!
Tootsie noodles: And when you talking about killing all humans AHHH SHIT GIRL THAT'S REAL!
You ask when Joe became such a proud dad as if that isn't Up's entire character
if hideous creatures is last i'm gonna riot
Charlotte Newman Well I guess you’re not rioting
isn't it super underrated??
Okay unpopular opinion coming up but
Starship is my favorite of starkid’s musical
HOW CAN YOU PUT ALL THESE BEAUTIFUL SONGS IN AN ORDER
THEY ARE EQUALLY AMAZING
Starship is my favorite, closely followed by Twisted, TGWDLM, TTO, AVPS, and the rest kind of don't have a ranking in my mind.
Ikr it’s so good!
I’m not sure if it’s my absolute favorite but it’s definitely in my top 3 and easily the best feel-good starkid show
Ok but wait, I think I found my people
No one cares about my opinion but my favourites are Twisted, Starship and MAMD (but every starkid musical is amazing and I love them all)
You can’t forget the moment where Taz rips off Up’s mustache and puts it on...
Only for Up to pull out another mustache to put on.
I honestly think starship might overall have the best music of any starkid show. Even in the weaker songs (which are still amazing) there’s so much great choreography and background acting
Bridget Spector I wish there were maybe a couple more songs, but I know what you mean. It’s definitely one of my top 3.
Starship and Twisted I think have the best stories, choreography, music, and background acting
Definitely have to be top 3!
It's one of the two starkid musicals that I enjoy all of the songs in (TGWDLM being the other)
@@triphazardd
I’m exactly the same! In most of the Starkid musicals, there’s a few songs that I’m not exactly a fan of (don’t get me wrong, there’s 0 songs I dislike!) but in Starship and TGWDLM, I absolutely love every single one of the songs!!
0:37 Thats definitely a Lauren soprano note
I think Lauren hits the initial note but Jaime does the riff if you listen closely.
17:16 She said, "Oh, fate is a cruel sting up through the subesophageal ganglion" which according to Google is "a ganglion used to control an insect's mouthparts, salivary glands, and neck muscles"
Now I just realized Get Back Up is a pun oh my god-
Ok hi what's the joke I dunno if I wanna ask because I have an idea and I'm praying I'm wrong.
Ayah13 the dude’s name is Up
@@lydiathompson4319 huh. I thought it was a dick joke because his doesn't work anymore oof
@@koopiewigglesworth2057 It works on many layers. His name is Up, he has to get back to the guy he used to be (getting up from falling down on the job) and it's also a dick joke.
I was always so baffled by how Dylan Saunders sings what might be the greatest Starkid song of all time with his arms super awkwardly angled above his head the whole time.
Kick it up a notch is the best Starkid song. Change my mind.
No one remembers Achmed, The Night Belongs to Snarl, sometimes it pays to be an animal... there's lots.
Rogues are we
Kick it up a notch is the best song. I would ask you tk change my mind but that's impossible
@@Visplight no one remembers Achmed id my favorite song of all starkid lol. I like to surprise my friends by chanting tiger fucker at them 😂😂
....and it was in this video, and not the million other Starship videos I’ve seen, that I realized the line, “now I know we’re suckers, but that guy’s a sucker!” is a pun.... I’m gonna go sit in a corner now and rethink life....
_chuckles in mosquito_
Status Quo is so good when someone doesn't put it in the top three I scream, thank you for putting at three.
Edit: Typo
May 23rd is now Brant Cox Appreciation Day!
As someone's who's watched Starship all of once, I don't have much of an opinion on your ranking, but it totally is The Little Mermaid and I'm angry that I had to watch a video to figure that out thank you.
ITS INTENDED TO BE TOO!!! Darren criss described it as a mix between Alien and Little Mermaid!!! Thus the quid pro quo like in kick it up a notch too, which is a pretty direct reference!!!!
@@lyndseywilliams9993 Lmao yeah!! I've since watched Starship like,,, a billion times, and yeah it's awesome and very Little Mermaid and I love it so.
I knew Kick It Up a Notch was gonna be number one but I’m still VERY happy with your choices
I WANT BRANT COX TO SING AT MY HYPOTHETICAL WEDDING
Status Quo is just optimistic Waving Through A Window
damn that glee will always be my all time favourite starkid joke its just so perfect and you can even hear darren cackling as the laughter starts to die down
Joe even winks directly at him
Remember when you helped me with calculus?
*CALCULUS WAS TOUGH*
bug is the most wholesome protag starkid has ever written, I AM WILLING TO FIGHT TO THE DEATH OVER THIS OPINION, COME AT ME.
Starkid making villains put sunglasses on is honestly my entire religion
krayonder is a legit child and i love him
I really tried to sing along to status quo but my voice broke at the end and all of a sudden i was crying, typical starkid
*YEAH I'M SMOKING **_POT_*
Hideous Creatures is one of my favourite songs in starship ;-;
Denise apparently choreographed Get Back Up. That makes sense because only she could create something that iconic
the fact that every time a song was revealed i was upset it wasn't top 4, shows how exceptional the music is in Starship
I just love that this is a Disney/Little Mermaid/Star Trek crossover and that I can see all of the TNG character’s singing these songs
3:03 this is more difficult to answer than the meaning of life
I seriously was surprised to find one of those videos that I haven’t watched before 130 times... then I realized it was posted today
I need a life-
**cue to ‘Life’ starting**
19:16 I think about this moment every day and how perfect it is
....I was today years old when I found out get back up was a giant pun, thank you
The comments on Status Quo have me rolling on the ground laughing!
UHHH YOU DID LIFE SO DIRTY I NO LONGER SUPPORT THIS RANKING
Okay I've calmed down a bit, but still, I would have put it like 4th. Starship has always been about, like, the queer experience to me and Life and Status Quo are beautiful in that regard. Like hell yeah babie!!!
*_FELIZ NAVIDAD_*
As a spanish person im dying
Paul The llama lol ikr
Ooh do Firebringer and Holy Musical B@man
the fact that latina godess beautiful queen lauren lopez and supermegafoxyawesomehot amazing joe walker have a ship in this show is too much for my bi-ness to handle
Everything in the album is way better
Also now we have Dylan in the role of Pincer’s right claw, and Robert in the role of Snarl’s left paw. Coincidence? I think NOT
Moon Knight Productions Dylan is actually Pincer’s head and Nick is his claw, but I get what you’re saying! Lol starkid random body part puppeteers somehow have so much personality
"Now take a walk off my knife." And that line was when I realized I wanted to marry Taz
you really ...kicked it up a notch... on this one!!!!!! awesome!! Can't wait for LA!
😘
I think starship is way too underrated
TBH it's my favourite starkid musical
I mostly agree with your ranking but I think I would switch status quo and way I do and I would put hideous creatures higher
Other People: I wanna be the very best that no one ever was
Me: I wanna be a starship ranger!
damn good transitions between parts of status quo!!!!! thats my favorite so im happy its so high
eta - 12:08 = hamilton move over, your new competition's in town
Honestly? Not ranking Hideous Creatures last was a power move
i love hideous creatures :/
@@gingerbv1343 Honestly I don't even really dislike it but all of starkid collectively openly reviles it for some reason and I think that's hilarious
Erin McKenna it’s probably just cause it suuuuucks to sing 😅 it is a bop though
Ginger BV me too :(
But would you disagree?
I just want to emphasize how much I love these videoes.
aw i love you!
minus points for not talking about "then there's the wonder of the caterpillar- the best show in town, the ending, is killer" during beauty everywhere
I say what the bug at least once a day
The Pochahontas reference in Hideous Creatures read my mind! First time I heard it that was my immediate reaction!
Get Back Up is actually my favourite Starkid song in general, haha.
Dylan having the two best songs is just logical, honestly
you made this? right when? i finished watching starship? for the first time?
SAME WHAT THE HELL
YES recognition for Pincer's right claw!
16:53 i CHOKED from trying not to laugh
It took me way too long to realize how punny Get Back Up was too, DONT worry you’re not alone
tag yourself, i'm Joe Moses in Get Back Up
im the bug puppet during life
WAIT FUCKINF
13:54
"All ya gotta do is"
Jaime singing
TGWDLM
Join us and die
"All ya gotta do is"
JaiME SINGING
Do you think they just liked it so much for the villain song that they used it again
I GET THE JOKE!
Get Back Up
Get Back, Up
That is funny
Okay Joe Moses does not get enough credit for this show
@Isabella Dowd he plays krayonder (the guy with the sideways hat)
*_GRANDMA'S GRAVY_*
Starship deserves more attention. This is such a good musical!!
You have no idea how much I would pay to see this entire musical animated. The puppetry is absolutely to die for, but I wanna see an artist's rendition of it. The character designs, the choreography. Holy dead god it would be amazing.
The Way I Do is GOD-TIER.
wow bug so emo XD OMg ur hilarious
14:43 *my pants
I love all your commentary and I also would LOVE if Nick Lang appeared randomly in my life to give advice
How many on-stage romances will Dylan and Meredith have. Like, OMG
Yes! This is my favorite show!
7:53 is the highlight of my week, thank you so much XD
You missed where I come from, on Farm planet...
it took me a solid 5 seconds to get the wingman joke what is wrong with me
This is the best soundtrack in starkid
Glad I’m not the lot one who thought this is the little mermaid but insects and spaceships rather then a mermaids.
This is why I love the show so dearly.
Ok now imma just go watch Starship all over again bc I’ve been reminded of how brilliant it is so see ya😂
When beauty is your favorite Starship song...
I do appreciate the sarcastic comments though
I see how high you put Get Back Up, and I am HERE for it. Also, even though on my list Status Quo would be 1st, I'm not even mad, because The Way I Do and Kick It Up A Notch are both awesome.
I just realised that when Tootsie Noodles said ‘a horse ate my cousin’ he was talking about the hay he had a flirtatious relationship with.
I was a little sad to see Hideous Creatures so low
I'm glad someone else appreciates the harmony between bug and roach in I wanna be. I'm still not over the fact that it's not in the cast recording
*passes the chips* you called? Also thank you SOOOOOOO much for doing this ranking!!!!!! I love Starship so much!!! They did such a great job and puppetry is so freaking hard!
starship holds such a special place in my heart we don’t talk about it enough!!!
I can confirm...I liked because i give a crap about starship rangers. also can we talk about Brian performance in this play??? it is ⭐perfection⭐ kick it up a notch is also the most ear-blessing song I've ever heard. and I like your smart-ass comments, BTW.
Your level of Starkid geekiness is a gift that needs appreciation
Tootsie Noodles is still one of my favorite characters hands down
It's so good
I love Starship so much and all of the songs are spectacular
15:43 i think too few people acknowledge brian's little wiggly dance here
"I'm evil and bad to the bone" "yes you are" savage
Damn I never even realized, this really *is* Little Mermaid but with space bugs
hmm i wonder will be first
also wait the edits during kick it up a notch are so smooth holy moly
egg keg aw thanks boo
Thank you for putting Get Back Up high, it's an underrated fave for me.
I missed the "I kick down the walls around me, they don't know how strong I am!" line from Status Quo! But I liked the video anyways it was cool!😅❤
