Carry yourself with the confidence of Julianne Moore singing "truck."
-
Evan always looks like he's trying to hide the fact that he's been bitten by a zombie
-
“actually i’m neurodivergent and a minor”- 30 year old Evan Hansen
-
Ben Platt saying no one else could possibly play Evan is made 1000% funnier when you remember that his fiancé also played Evan Hansen on Broadway
-
Must be a hard life being in the 20th grade.
-
connor's family at thanksgiving in 5 years like "remember that creep with the caked on foundation that sang pop songs at us"
-
The most culturally important thing to come out of the Dear Evan Hansen franchise was Rupaul thinking the main character's name is Dear.
-
I think it’s so funny how Evan says “the only man that I love is my dad” in a homophobic joke line, only for multiple songs to mention that he isn’t in contact with his dad at all and hasn’t seen him in over a decade.
-
"Maybe Evan's not a nice boy. Maybe he's just a quiet boy." Seeeeriously. A lot of people have trouble understanding that "quiet" or "shy" or "introverted" does not mean "nice". Just because someone's not loud and flashy about being a jerk doesn't mean they're not one.
-
“Pretends to know a girl’s dead brother so he can get together with her” is like some It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia shit
-
When Evan says he wants depressed kids to “go out and climb trees” am i the only one who feels that its a pretty morbid thing to say when he has just tried to kill himself by jumping out of a tree?
-
This was the first Jenny video I'd seen and I didn't know she dressed thematically with her videos and I thought this was just how she looks
-
Its kinda badass of Connor's actor to finnesse both the best and shortest role in the film, show his emotional range by playing both a sad emo version and a charismatic show toons version of the same character and then cut out of the film before he has to do anything else. Literally the perfect acting reel.
-
Every song is triggered by someone walking up to Evan and pressing E.
-
The line “maybe Evan is not a nice boy, maybe he’s just a quiet boy,” legitimately gave me chills
-
I feel like Alana doesn't get enough shit for posting Connor's "suicide note" online. That's a fucking horrible and disgusting thing for someone to do. And she did it for MONEY. No one in this story is worse than Evan (and Jared, of course). But Alana slid into a close second place after she did that.
-
I’m sorry but hearing the mom confront him for his lie, and then hearing him mumble “words fail” will never not be the funniest shit i’ve ever heard
-
In Ben Platt's defense, 45 is really young in tree years.
-
Movie could've been fixed if they added a scene right at the top where Evan looks to camera and says dryly: "I can't believe I was held back ten years in a row"
-
i thought the "his best friend died... you won't believe what he did next" screenshot was a funny little title card created for this video essay, when i saw it in the actual scene movie i just about lost my mind
