*cringes in theatre kid because I've actually done something like this*
Oh EEEVERY theatre kid has done this (the ‘rush rush stress stress’ one is particularly painful)
I actually liked this.
I want to laugh so badly but I remembered I too have done something like this in high school
There are actually people like this? How very very sad.
Amateur0Visionary you don’t get to judge we had to Live It and get GRADED for it
"Are you rich?"
"No, I just have good posture. I'm homeless."
WOOOOW
somehow you literally have no responses, or at least i can't see them, so hi
Hello
@@june-kr1eo also hello
moon cricket
@@moobusman5617 hello
"I'm just a regular audience guy"
"No you’re not you're sitting too far forward in your se...this gonna suck"
I loved the way she said that 😂
Omg thanks for pointing this out. Would have totally missed the joke had you not copied it here verbatim. Greeeat comment.
The beret was a dead giveaway
@@JammastaJ23 yep what would we do if there were no you tube comments ???? I mean if a video doesn't have subtitles just look at the comment section
@@JammastaJ23 Yo it just points out which part this person thought was funniest, and let's other people join in..kinda like how people enjoy seeing peoples reactions, leave your own "original" fucking comment then if you gotta be such a bitch about it
“We’re going to lie on stage asleep”
“LiKe OuR cOngResS”
I lost it at this point
You must lose it often if it's that easy.
T S let people have fun, gary.
T S that is good thing
This aged like fine wine
So you made it through the whole video without losing it?
"your daughter's really good!"
"she's my stepdaughter, and no, she's not"
fucking iconic
"Iconic"? Really?
@@freakazoid4691 people can have opinions.
900th like 😂😂😂😂
Second time around and that's where they got me this time.
@@multifanderisverycrafty and people can call you out for making ridiculous statements lol.
"Bang, bang, bang and guess what, we.were.black" 😂😂😂😂 LMAOO DEAD.
+Emily I Leslie Jones: "Yeah, I'm not ok with that" LMFAO
'Yeah I'm not ok w/ that' 😂
+Emily I literally lol
Lol
the dad reaction covering his face was so subtle but hilarious
Our school did the EXCAT SAME THING we even had one of the actors sit in the audience for half the show then go onstage (it was me, I was that kid.)
Lmaooooo WTF
Are you ashamed of yourself?
Why have I done that as well...
Rebecca Rimon ME TOO
CRINGE ATTAAAAAAACK
kyle's theatre kid 'casual walk' is the most scarily accurate thing ever
0:37
"And guess what? We were black"
"Yeah I'm not okay with that"
LOL
wait until 2020 plays out.
That guys fucking transition dance moves 😂
ikr, Everytime 😂
Tarren?
I know right
Heather Marie I love it rofl
Taran not Tarren
" Excuse me sir, are you homeless?"
"No, I'm just cold. I'm actually very rich."
Dhar Man is shaking with creativity
This was great 🤣🤣🤣
😭
DHAR MANN
So you see…
😂
As a theatre kid, I can verify this ENTIRE clip, although I wish I couldn’t 😭
Oh yes. Same.
I didn't even do Theatre, it was for a small event back when I was a kid. Regret it every day
Quit LOL
Same
Taran's moves during the transition had me DYING
Same his arm movements are everything XDD 😍
And the way he said "Bang"
@@Idk-fo6zl Yes! His "bang" was hilarious.
Hahaha, I came to the comments solely for someone talking about his arms 🤣🤣🤣
900th like!
Fansie 25 Don’t like - love.
It's so accurate down to the converse shoes.
Bunnii to be a part of the other I've
Ha! I didn't notice that till now. The attention to detail is off the charts in some of these skits.
I’m a theatre kid in high school and it’s true we all wear converse.
I’m wearing them right now actually
*_WoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoW_*
Tarans dancing kills me everytime, along with his "bang"
miranda joelle BAAANNNGGNNAAA
EXACTLY. His voice in general
Bang 😩
"The time - now. The place - any high school in America." That line might be the best thing in this. It's so spot on, with the coffee house scarf and everything!
@BCR not american, but we also did these 'woke' skits here, I FEEL CALLED OUT
@BCR It's because that kind of opening line is a big cliche with these types of productions. They usually start with some line about how this could be any typical high school. It's funny because it just rings so familiar to everyone who's ever gone to American high school and suffered through a painfully woke drama class production, lol.
They had this years before the term Woke was invented too. I'm 100% positive Kyle did a role like this when he was in HS back in my day
I went to my bf’s little brother’s high school performance and they wore this and one girl literally shouted "cancer" for a minute straight.
+TheSuperNats i am literally crying lol
It was amazing.
Amazingly funny?
Cancer girl for president
Cancer girl for president
this is honestly such an underrated snl sketch
painfully accurate
Underrated? It's pretty popular, 2 mill + views
Compared to the 19 mil+ views on "Close Encounter", this is a pretty underrated sketch.
+Gwendolyn Popejoy no, 19+ million is a VERY successful skit, this getting 2 million+ views is good still, it's moderately-rated not over nor under.
I like the beat.
This is accurate, like scary accurate. There all wearing converse, and the moving of the set omg
Fr
WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THE SCISSOR ARMS OMFG I LOVE IT
Lol
"Next time, don't like. love."
well we have heart emoticons now soo
AwesoMESS *emojis
This is an emoticon :)
This is an emoji😀
AwesoMESS now you can love on Facebook, too!
AwesoMESS I have double heart emoji soo... I guess I will love ur comment more than anyone of u guys,soo soo..
regionalatbest Wouldn't this count as a heart emoticon though?
It was the seed of change!
I was in theater club in high school and I can say this is accurate on a scary level. Down to the music and the script and all-black ensemble with chucks.
+Lucas Davis I study in a professional performing arts school and exactly the same
My club was in a regular high school so we weren't totally like this, but some of the other schools in the competition, man...
+Lucas Davis Ive been in Theatre since middleschool and going for a theatre major. I relate to this on a personal level! hahaha
I hope the best for you.
+Lucas Davis I took a couple of theater papers at uni and it's pretty spot on for there too. However I teach high school Drama now and there is no way in hell I'd let my students perform something like this.. not that any of them would want to.
This is the literal version of
r/im14andthisisdeep
I tried to share it there but they don't allow video
nah, this is highschool theatre kid culture, 15 year olds and above.
We LiVe iN A SoCiEtY
taran's overly dramatic bang at 3:39 gets me every time
BAAANGUH 😫
Honestly I've seen this shit in my high school and the Status Update one was actually part of it just with a different end. They literally nailed this
JigglyChocolateman iThe
Literally
You guys at the States are so lucky to be encouraged to do theatre in highschool💚
but what was the ending?
Status update is the shit
This kinda reminds me of the stuff the theatre group at my school used to do. And they were serious.
Jake Jake I saw a legit play that I payed money for that was about depression that was exactly like this.
It reminds me of the drugs and alcohol "play" that they bussed my entire grade to, and that was at a legit theater an hour away.
😂😂😂
Snl high school theater with reese witherspoon
I want to be in your theater group.
Taran is giving his all during the intermissions
That was also me during my performances any time my class had a group project that was a short video. There was more than one instance of some funny blooper happening involving me.
As a parents, I can vouche on the accuracy of this. Many years of sitting thru similar shows.
You should be paid
You poor thing. You're a true hero for sitting through those shows lol
Taran's scissor arms are the best part!
^^yep
Yes!
This is like one of those stop bullying plays they perform at my school every year.
lj126 Yes! That's where I know that horrible music from.
lj126 They actually do those? Guess maybe it's a good idea. All I know is when I was in high school (mid '70s), if they did an anti-bullying play, all the actors probably would have gotten their asses kicked.
They bring in these theatre troops from who knows where and they are just awful. I was a very good and respectful kid and even I struggled not to laugh throughout them.
dnatz58 lmao!!!!
lj126 gangs are essentially organized bullying, are they ever blamed for anything? the media ignores them.
Late shoutout to the teacher...
"Trust me I made cuts..."
Um...thank you?...
Who was the teacher?
@@hcrawford79 Cecily
Was I the only one that got the feeling she meant she killed some of the kids? Because I would pay to see that horror movie.
she was cutting herself
I love the way Taran walks in these, somehow it's my favourite part because it's totally different from everyone else so it was clearly just his thing
This is my high school to a T. Especially the "Audience Member" being in the play. The school was so small that EVERYONE knew who was in the show so when they tried to "surprise" everyone it was always SO CORNY. LMAO
Oh God, I'm in my 40's and still do community theater once in a while. This time last year I was in a show where I started as an audience member, sat in the middle on purpose, and after the prologue obnoxiously pushed people out my way to go up and join the show. I don't THINK anyone saw it coming.
Omg we had an "audience" character too but it was an actual ply called haphazardly ever after
As a theater kid: yes we have all done something like this. And yes we knew it sucked, but it was too fun to make
Nanna Andersen yes this is me rn tbh I'm so ashamed
This just reminded me of a bit in my first theater class where we had to tell stories of what we did over summer without words. One girl told how she took her mom's car (at 14) and some other kids acted out drug use. The teacher asked them to stop over-sharing, that he was still a teacher. XD
Nanna Andersen Lol, nah you guys thought you were breaking new grounds and shattering the world's expectations of the typical teen.
Admit it, any kid doing these plays is not in on the joke.
At first maybe. But at some point we figured it out
in my experience, it's actually not the kids who come up with stuff like this, it's the teachers
I love how whenever the music starts, before anything else, Taran starts flailing his arms around.
4:06 Aw Kyle laid down on Beck's leg lmaoo
They made us watch the drama kids performance is high school and this is SO ACCURATE, it was just some random ass weird stuff thrown together with no plot.
+Sunny Monroe Makes me so glad I decided not to do theatre in high school
Hey, I WAS one of those theatre kids and you know what?! You are completely right... This is so accurate except the director would choose these weird ass plays. We wanted to do normal stuff like Cinderella.
Oh, well in Texas we take shit seriously and actually put shows together. Yeah, we're weird but our work isn't this fucking stupid.
+Gamzee Makara True. We have UIL competitions, and its a little more serious compared to other areas
+Elaina M (Zimmit) this is completely generalization! As theater kids, my friends and I took our play seriously. We had rehearsals that lasted until 10 PM (this was near AP testing weeks and most of us have at least 3 AP classes). We didn't do sketches like these since they are not theater performances (more in form of contemporary arts mix w theatry). It is kinda stupid just going around generalizing shits you know nothing about. People in this world man.. Think they are ALL better than others. Smh
Reese Witherspoon actually looks good with that multicolored hair! lol
what? like it's hard?
+calisongbird Lol first thing I thought too and it's first comment.
+calisongbird Oh, this is the first one they did of this. And just as Elizabeth Banks had the multicolored hair, so does Reese, since she is the host of this show.
Taran’s movements during the set changes make me screeeeeeeeem
“Bang bang bang bang bang bang...and guess what....
WE WERE BLACK”
I’m dying 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The fact that they're all white is what makes it so tragically on point. 😂
Taran's dance moves in between scenes...HAHA
His arms flailing around never fail to make me laugh, lol.
Love it
1. I live near a woodbridge highschool
2. I know people who went there
3. I know people who did theater there
I was dying the entire time. This was too real. haha
+pwnstroyer fun fact: will ferrell went to a high school in the same district as a woodbridge high school
+pwnstroyer Amity? because believe me, I feel you
I Used to live in Woodbridge
“oh no you gonna be in the play aren’t you?”
“what? no? i’m just a regular audience member?”
The last "BANG" sounds nice.
As some one who did four years of High School drama. I can say that this is 100% accurate.
Conor Wade nerd
As someone who doesn’t give a donkeys buthole what you did with your earthling life in the Milky Way galaxy I don’t give a flying duck
I hope to hell you didn't go to an expensive college and paid 45k/yr to major in it, too...
(City college, if you must)
Flashbacks to when we all thought we could act
walkergirl02 Oh no don’t remind me of those times😂😂😂😂
It's so painful to watch this because my highschool did something like this too
And I was part of it
oh weird how did footage of my high school regional thespian festival get here
At first I read this as "High School Regional Lesbian Festival".
"Your daughter's really good!"
"She's my stepdaughter, and no she's not."
"How long have they been rehearsing this??"
"Every. Single. Day. For a year."
"Man, screw this. I'm going home to watch Judge Judy."
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
and guess what...
WE WERE BLACK
I love Kyle's purposely bad and cringey acting, it's amazing! xD
Agree, it's so perfectly balanced, a few inches at either side would make it terrible ...
As a teacher, I can’t say exactly when I’ve seen my high school students do this.
But I can say I have without a doubt seen them do exactly this.
More than once.
These is an unrated SNL sketch and it’s one of my favourites
As a drama student myself, I can confirm the accuracy of this video.
this is the most accurate thing i have seen
The converse shoes and the blocks and jumping off blocks and the way kyle steps just gets me so good 😂 too real
This makes me laugh so so hard. I am 37 and live in England yet this is also what all my drama looked like as a teen 😂
I'm in rehearsal right now and I just made the entire sack and crew watch this we all laughed
I can't breathe. This is exactly like high school plays.
"the program says it's dedicated to John Lennon and Shonda Rhimes..." i can't breathe lol
The way taran is moving his arms is making me lose it lmao
I'd like to think that my High school plays were much better than this. However I've seen this type of theatre and it was kind of accurate to this.
well the highschool plays i saw most of the times had a lot better script, the acting welllllll ...
This is not even a joke. I do theatre and I see those poor misguided ducklings too often. And it looks exactly like this.
Marína Urbanová OMG😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
When things get dark fast
I didnt make the tennis team freshman year (my friends were doing it and I dont do a spring sport so I said why not try tennis). Then I was looking for something to do and I bumped into the director who told me about a student written show. It was so close to this I cannot express how correct you are. I hated that show so much.
Omg I dont know how many plays like this I went to while studying theatre
Beck and Kyle cuddling at the end was honestly the best part of this sketch
“Like, like, like, like”
“But next time don’t like, love”
I sent you love.
I go to a theatre school. This is so accurate xD
YEAH
Same. It's so accurate
Please tell me it's not a 45k/yr college...
This PERFECTLY depicts the pseudo-intellectualism that high schoolers think they possess😂 LOVE
You mean either "the intellectualism that high schoolers think they possess" or "the pseudo-intellectualism that high schoolers possess."
The funniest part about this pompous comment is that it's worded incorrectly
@@annabelletolley8916 Exactly!
we did it on purpose, we were fully aware, well most of us, unlike the wording of your comment.
seriously 600 people liked that and not one of them noticed... okay. (wait for it...)
@@kjdnyhmghfvb What?
When you think your deep, edgy and woke...
...But actually you're just cringe worthy and annoying
when you know the difference between your and you're...
*yore
My deep edgy and woke what?
@@georgecoley9514 Eggs
"Trust me, I made cuts" *inhales cigarette barely lol.
I want to be Reese Witherspoon's hair.
as a theater kid, I can confirm this to be true
Yeah, I'm in theatre because I like acting, but I just do not fit in at all there. Everyone there constantly rants about "Social justice" and blatantly dismisses anyone who disagrees with them. They also constantly talk about sex and having a lot of it as if it's a good thing. To top it off, they are almost exactly like the kids in this video.
+TheNerdLord Keep in mind this is High School.
I second this. Although I also know that Devised Theatre, even on the professional level is hit or miss, with the misses looking pretty close to this...
Of course Kyle and Beck cuddle together at the end when everyone lays down to sleep #bestbromance
I just noticed that at the end, when everybady lays down to "sleep", Beck and Kyle lay down together * w *
At my local high school, somehow people could get away with shit like this, yet I get kicked out of drama for making a play about the organ trade and using fake blood.
The High Architect Seriously?
I WANT TO SEE THE PLAY ABOUT THE ORGAN TRADE!!!!!
I WANT TO SEE ORGANS
I WANT TO SEE
WOOOW...
madlad
"AND GUESS WHAT? WE WERE BLACK!" That's the best part 😂😂😂
1:36 “oh no you’re gonna be in the play aren’t ya “ 😂😂
the fact that they mime themselves using computers for the "like like like" scene instead of phones shows how old this clip is
Is this tumblr
Yep.
+Bethany G yes my friend it is
the sjws are at it again
Bethany G uh huh
Yeah. It spreads on occasion…
Dedicated to John Lennon and Shonda Rhimes hahaha
Reese has been killing me for over 20 years and she is still smokin' ❤
I know I’m not the only one that died laughing every time Taram did those moves before walking and helping change the set (like he did in 0:32 ) Kyle too 💀
Looking at the comments, I'm glad my highschool's theatre program isn't like this. We do actual plays and actually act, and the drama classes are honestly the best
BubbleFishie I know this is a year later but I can totally relate. I haven't been in any of my schools shows but I've seen a couple of them and they were genuinely great. It's sad seeing how many schools have this type of drama program, it kinda shows that the teachers don't give a shit and/or are bad at their jobs.
Same my high schools drama production class did 2 shows a year a straight play in the fall semester and a musical in the spring and they were always top notch.
Same. We did evildead this year. Our plays are always not very pc, actually.
I've seen this awkward play in community theater so many times! LOL
literally did a performance exactly like this not even a couple of weeks ago i'm losing my mind over how accurate it is
'Your daughter is really good'
'She's my stepdaughter and no she's not'😂1:01
this is literally what my drama group did 2 years ago esps omething like the "we are black" part,,, and I was the only brown (mixed) member of that group and it was even more ironic considering how racist those girls were to actual black ppl???
That backstep at 0:39 was too accurate haha
I had to rewind just to watch it again. DEAD on.
Yep. It's called "cheating out." Basically directors try to show the back of the characters the least they can (unless the script calls for someone to do something like make themselves unnoticeable).
agizzy23 Yeah, but that's such an amateurish and unsubtle way of doing it.
The way they all sell this so hard is hilarious.
2:17 that killer look 😍 😂🤣
This is honestly so accurate; *cringes for eternity*
I think I was in a production just like this in high school.
JUST. LIKE. IT.
Kiki V Next time, love it.
I like how Taran's arms are so huge and he still goes for the full robotic dance thingy
3:39 literally how I'm gonna die
"The program says it's dedicated to John Lennon and Shonda Rhimes" lmao
Laughed for a good ten minutes.
The harmony of shout! at 2:43 Was pretty good
Okay Reese’s wig is seriously the best though.
1:22 lol me too
This is hilarious. I was part of an original musical written by middle schoolers, and I was very scared that it would turn out like this. It didn't, but this video is a pretty accurate representation of what teenagers are like these days.
I know this comment wasn't meant to be offensive in the slightest and I feel like a bit of a dickhead for getting irritated by it, so sorry, but not all teenagers are like anything. People overgeneralise a lot of age groups, but I feel like teenagers probably get it the worst (besides perhaps elderly people). A lot of people I know are teenagers and they're the best, most creative, intelligent, open-minded people I've ever met, and it just kind of irritates me when people lump the entire age group together, because yes, a lot of teenagers are like this, but not all of them. If you're not a teenager, you can't really know what an 'accurate representation' of them is at all (unless you have a kid that age, I guess, so correct me if I'm wrong).
+ZoeInWonderland I actually am 14 years old, and a lot of people I meet at school are played down versions of the people in the video.
+Katie Chriscoe Sorry, the way your comment was phrased made it sound like you were older (you gave me the impression that you thought that teenagers were inferior, but I understand that's not what you meant now). I'm 14 too, and I'll agree that high school is a cesspool of knobs of varying degrees of stupidity, but I was just pointing out that not ALL teenagers are the same, or in any way like the people in the video (though some certainly are). I wasn't offended at all by the video; I thought it was quite numerous. One of the funniest in ages!
+ZoeInWonderland *humorous😂 auto-correct can bite me
+Katie Chriscoe They're #deep.
in my senior year, we had to sit down for a whole hour and listen to this dude do a overly dramatic monologue lol.
That whisper whisper shout bit is so true 😂 this whole skit is brilliant
I can confirm this is exactly what it's like. I performed with three students, where we made a human mountain while we did a dramatic reading of Carrie Underwoods blown away.
