@GondorLadyGwen i dont think you read my comment correctly...... i said "does anyone else feel like the the puppeteers are "lipping" what the puppets are saying when you look at them?" i said *lipping* what they are saying.....as in, it seems like the puppets are talking and the puppeteers are just imitating the puppets....
@JezabelCumming They're the BAD Idea Bears, lol. And in one of the early drafts, Gary was supposed to tell Princeton that the last tenant in his apartment had hung himself. But that was depressing and unnecessary, so it got cut.
@JezabelCumming Not sure if the Bad Idea Bears' suggestion of Princeton hanging himself was in the same draft as the last tenant hanging himself, but there's something darkly humorous about two adorable bears suggesting you hang yourself. And with the former cut out, the latter wasn't serious and therefore kept the show (somewhat) lighter.
@LABWTS24 they tell him he's got purpose-less-ness, then they tell him to smile and when he says no they tell him to hang himself with this rope they found.
I love the lady with the bear, she does the 'other hand' on Nikki and Trekki doesn't she, and other roles when their main puppetere is doing someone else :) what's her name? I love the faces she makes while operating all the puppets :D
@TimberWolfCub "less" and "ness". To form "purposelessness" XD And then the exchange goes, around 00:55 on... "Sorry guys, it's not gonna work." "Judge Judy's your friend!" "Yeah, watch Judge Judy when you feel all sad and alone!"
yes it is. that's how it always is. its rod and princeton. nicky, trekky monster, and one of the bad idea bears. and it's kate monster and the skank who's name escapes me. that's how it is in every performance.
it was really funny though! and the give us your money one...hilarious. since we saw it in london, when they went through the donation basket, princeton picked something up and said "a pound?! what are we gonna do with this!?" hahahahaha
This is the ULTIMATE happy pill for me! They should prescribe Avenue Q for depression instead of those anti-depression meds that "may increase depression or lead to suicide"!!!
just like rod and princeton. when princeton comes in after rod rods voice goes to prince and the other person holding nicky (not voice) holds rod. atleast in it sucks to be me
Same with Nicky and Trekkie and the blue bad idea bear. They're all played by the same person. Also, the yellow bad idea bear and Mrs. Thistletwat...I think they're the same people, but I'm not sure.
nicky, trekkie, and one of the bad idea bears are one person.
there's a couple extra people that hold certain puppets that are supposed to be played by one person when both puppets are supposed to be in one scene, but the original actor still sings.
is that all trekkie monster thinks about?! XP i love the bad idea bears "you could always hang yourself!" "WHY WOULD I WANT TO HANG MYSELF?!" "well we'll leave the rope here, JUST IN CASE!" lol XP i so love the bad idea bears
haha at 4:00 trekkie monster tries to look under lucy's skirt... ant at 4:34, rick lyon (trekkie) does a kind of a dance step, going from the back of the stage to the front, reeaallyy cute !!!!
This number was changed a few years ago... they now start the second act with a reprise of another song (sucks or bs in english?), the bit of the bears and then a faster rock version of this song.
It starts out with a reprise of "It Sucks to Be Me," the bit with the bears, and a pop/rock version of "There Is Life Outside." Does anyone have that one?
this number has been shortened. i noticed it about two months ago. they cut the "don't tell me i gotta force you," and the "alright everyone he's resisting." line.
Those (And this one) are the only ones that I have listened to. I heard about 'If you were gay' when I saw a Tales of Symphonia vid (That I was tempted to watch) that was titled 'Kratos, if you're gay, it's okay!'
This song is so hilarious. "All right, everyone, he's resisting!" >D
