#honestly you could argue TGWDLM is heart with humour and I wouldn't blame you

what starkid show should i watch? i’ve just watched the very potter musicals
*limps wrist* ok SO
My personal favourite is The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals, so I'd rec that first.
I will say this tho: In general, Starkid has roughly 2 types of shows: Humour with Heart (Mainly comedy with emotional moments), and Heart with Humour (Still funny, but there's a deeper emotional story). It really depends on which type of musical you like more.
Humour with Heart musicals:
AVPM (at least 1 and 2, I havent seen AVPSY lol)
Firebringer (chaotic queer cavepeople. You ever see the "I don't really wanna do the work today" vine? Thats from Firebringer)
The Trail to Oregon (Oregon Trail game but as a musical. Extremely silly and chaos filled. A personal pick me up favourite)
The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals (Singing aliens invade a small town and chase down a guy who hates musicals. This teeters on Heart with Humour bc it's a dark comedy with some gore, but I find it mostly funny)
Holy Musical Batman (Batman vs Superman but actually good. Excellent villain and songs. I dont know shit about DC but was able to follow along easily. Batman and Superman scream "fuck you" at each other in song.)
Heart with Humour musicals:
Twisted (Ya know how Wicked makes the Wicked Witch from Wizard of Oz into a tragic hero? Well Starkid does that with Jafar from Aladdin. My first Starkid show, and considered by many to be one of if not the best show.)
Black Friday (A doll totally not based on Cthulhu takes hold of a small town mall and drives miserable adults into a violent frenzy. Takes place in the same town as The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals. Technically not a sequel to TGWDLM, but there's a few returning characters and references to TGWDLM. Despite it not being my ultimate fave SK show, this is the one I make the most fancontent for)
???? (aka shows I don't know/can't really place well)
Ani (Star Wars parody. Didn't like the MC and didn't finish it, but some people really like it. Obi Wan is fucking hilarious.)
Me and My Dick (Never saw it due to the recording quality being sorta bad + genital humour isn't my cup of tea. That being said, I know other people who genuinely enjoy it.)
Starship (It's like Aliens and The Little Mermaid had a weird, puppet filled baby ft probably my fave musical villain song of all time. I think it's more humour, but it's been so long that I can't really remember)
Nightmare Time (Little Zoom plays based off of Hatchetfield, the place from Black Friday and The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals. Don't watch until you've watched both BF and TGWDLM. Weird and dark and strange, but good)
Basically what I'm trying to say is: What Starkid show you should watch really depends on your mood. I love Twisted but if I watch it when I'm in the mood for a silly fun musical, it doesn't seem as good. If I'm in the mood for overall fun I do TGWDLM, overall emotional story I do Twisted, and overall silly fun time I do The Trail to Oregon.
All of these are up for free on the Team Starkid youtube channel. Some are in parts, others are fully uploaded. Sorry this was long but I hope this helps! :)
