Starship (theatre)/YMMV

• Crazy Awesome: Taz and Up, at the very least, given their actors.
• Crowning Music of Awesome: "Status Quo", "Kick It Up a Notch", "Beauty". It would be easier to list the songs that weren't CMOA.
  • ... ^[1]
• Draco in Leather Pants: Junior. Not surprising seeing as he's Brian freaking Holden!
• Ear Worm: It's a Team Starkid show. Need we say more?
• Ensemble Darkhorse: On the main and character pages, just about any character who isn't Bug has been described as this. The variation is up to personal taste. If you found Tootsie Noodles way funnier than Taz or Up, then he's YOUR Ensemble Darkhorse. Nuff said.
• Esoteric Happy Ending: You've got to wonder what Junior's father and the rest of his evil corporation will do when they find out what happened...
  • How long do bugs live? The one advisor guy was talking about his "six long days" of life. So Bug and February get at most what, a week together?
  • And Megagirl and Tootsie? She's still a robot, unable to age, etc. Lord knows what will happen when Tootsie dies as well.
• Evil Is Sexy: Junior. Who knew a pot-smoking, pink-sunglasses wearing space ranger called Junior could be so sexy?
• Fridge Brilliance: Early on in the the play, it's established that Up was a former Badass commander, but after the robot war and a mysterious injury, he was reduced to a softie who hated killing. In other words, he had "lost his balls". the "injury" resulted in Up having his balls cut off. That's right. The man literally has no balls.
  • Early on, Tootsie Noodles says that a horse ate his cousin. Later on, he talks about how he had a flirtatious relationship with a stack of hay... and the stack of hay was his cousin.
  • When Up lost his balls, who's to say he didn't lose something else? Making his fear about the rumors being about him peeing sitting down perfectly justified.
    • Fridge Brilliance or Fridge Horror?
  • Up and February's trouble with pronouncing basic scientific terms actually takes on a new light when you realise that Specs, resident geek, also does this. This could point to the English language having actually changed in small ways by this point in the future.
• Fridge Horror: It's been established that Pincer lied to Bug about a lot of stuff. Who's to say he was telling the truth when he said that the Starship Ranger in the cryotube was braindead?
• Ho Yay: Captain Up and Bug. Bug and Roach.
• Most Annoying Sound: February's voice.
• The Scrappy: February. The comments are filled with people saying how Bug deserves better then a self-centered, annoying, hysterical, incompetent, Valley Girl stereotype. Poe's Law may or may not be in effect.
  • Keep in mind that despite being the dumbest character in the cast, February is the only one who figures out what the evil plan is.
  • Also keep in mind that Starkid has a mostly female fandom, and February winds up with Joey Richter.
  • Not helping is how much of a Woobie Bugette, who is in love with Bug, is. It rings very similar to the Cosette hatred that comes from loving Eponine .
• Ugly Cute: Most of the bugs.
• Viewer Gender Confusion: Did anyone think Specs was a guy at first? The fact that "Team Starkid" uses lots of Cross Casting and that Julia Albain had the same wig and glasses she wore as Percy in "A Very Potter Sequel" didn't help.
• The Woobie: Roach, Bug, Up, and especially Tootsie and Bugette. Perhaps even February.
