ONTD, what's your go-to karaoke song? If you're not a karaoke person, what's your favorite song to sing at the top of your lungs when you're alone in your car?

Remember that crazy whackass show he did for Netflix?

[cstoffer]

The prank show?

Did anyone watch it? I’m still amused by it being put in the supernatural category on Netflix (but not as much as the day I saw prime had put ‘two and a half men’ into horror). Sometimes the algorithm is right!

[anterrabre]

I watched both seasons and it was crazy as hell! Some of the pranks were fun but others....oh, mannnn, I would've kicked his lil ass!

[pop_squash]

I swear to god when it came out they emphasized the "fake job" part of it more, I think they maybe dialed that back due to backlash? Or possibly I'm misremembering.

My go-to karaoke song is Don't Stop Me Now by Queen, a karaoke classic

I sing out loud a lot when I'm alone at home. Currently singing along to Spice Girls' Spiceworld

if i were him, i wouldn't happily mention that i starred in dear evan hansen.

[loonyluna26]

He was pretty perfect for that role tho

Who else is going through Steve Harrington withdrawals?

[insecuredesign]

Steve>>>>>>>>>Eddie and I actually liked his character lol but if one of them had to go I’m glad it was Eddie. I love Steve too much.

[winegums]

I liked Eddie and cried when Dustin told his uncle he was dead but I am sick to death of the 'everything is all about Eddie' stans and that is even leaving aside the batshit Eddie stans' harassment/terrorising of Grace van Dien.

also got sick of the metal bros hyping up that badly done "Master of Puppets is cool so let's have a gratuitous bit of posturing for Eddie and never mind that the song is weirdly uptempo as a tune to set Max running for her life, let's indulge the metal stans" scene. I'm legit glad the character is dead, please don't come back next season, I really can't take more screen time going to side characters who'd basically exist just for certain types of fans to project on.

also unpopular opinion - enough w the overload of Steve and Dustin, Dustin needs to go back to interacting more with his (same age) friends next season cause his scenes with Mike/Max/Lucas were actually his best in season 4.

[sibylblack]

That scene made me tear up, too, but I agree that Eddie is overrated. But Billy had lots of stans too and I'll never get it (obviously Eddie is a better character, not comparing the two, just commenting on people's taste)

[scriptedending]

Aww, I like his general enthusiasm!

Just saw him in Sweeney Todd and there were so many people SCREAMING for him, I was a little surprised! Guess I shouldn't be considering how popular Stranger Things is, but the noise level was jarring. I love "Not While I'm Around", and he and Annaleigh do a nice job with it, but I think his biggest asset in the show is his acting.

I actually just watched another video about Sweeney:

[sherrilina]

Lol there was definitely a similar reaction in my audience.

[italyatmidnight]

Aw, I'm sorry I missed him! I saw it on the 14th and there was an understudy for Toby (who still did a great job).

[scriptedending]

Oh wow, we were there the 15th, which was right before Josh was out for a couple of days, so I guess we had good timing. Presumably you still heard the screaming for Jordan Fisher?? I had no idea who he was, but the audience clearly did!
