Studio C is a sketch comedy show produced by BYUtv, created by Jared Shores and Matt Meese. One of the major differences from other contemporary comedy shows is that the comedy is intended to be family-safe, focusing on wordplay and absurdist situational comedy with little to no fanservice or swearing. The original cast members are all former members of the BYU Divine Comedy troupe, an on-campus sketch comedy show by BYU students. Most of the sketches in the show's first season were directly adapted from Divine Comedy sketches written by the cast. The title Studio C refers to the actual studio where the show is filmed.The show began in 2012 and began its 8th season in 2017, airing its 100th episode in November of that year. It airs on BYUtv, a television station operated by Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, but it reaches a much wider audience on YouTube; it should be noted, though, that BYUtv is available across much of the United States via many of the big-name cable and satellite providers (excluding Google Fiber).The Studio C cast has evolved over time: For the first four seasons, the cast had 10 members: four main cast members (Whitney Call, Mallory Everton, Jason Gray, and Matt Meese) and six featured players (Adam Berg, Stacey Harkey, Natalie Madsen, Stephen Meek, James Perry, and Jeremy Warner). Starting with season five, the six featured players began being credited as main cast members. Additionally, Dalton Johnson and Tori Pence began appearing from time to time as featured players. In season eight, Dalton and Tori officially joined the cast along with Aaron Fielding, but were still credited as featured players. On 9 August 2018, BYUtv announced that the original 10 cast members would depart the show at the end of season nine and that new cast members and writers would be added. On 12 September 2018, the 10 departing cast members announced via YouTube that they have formed JK! Studios, a digital, family-safe comedy network. The new network is a private business venture separate from BYUtv and launched in January. On 11 January 2019, Aaron Fielding announced via Instagram that he would not return after the ninth season. On 26 March 2019, BYUtv announced nine new cast members joining Dalton and Tori: Garet Allen, Jessica Drolet, Ike Flitcraft, Matthew Galvan, Tanner Gillman, Jetta Juriansz, Arvin Mitchell, April Rock, and Austin Williams. Unlike the original cast, only one of the new nine members was a BYU student (Allen). Quite a few of them have experience studying at the Upright Citizens Brigade. Veteran producer and writer Jim O'Doherty (3rd Rock from the Sun and Grounded for Life) will be the new showrunner. All 11 of the actors were considered the main cast. On 20 October 2020, BYUtv announced that Gray would return to the show in season 10 as a featured cast member. Matthew Galvan left after season 14, and Ike and Tori become a featured players instead of main cast members. Naomi Winders and Megan Rico began appearing as featured players. Tori and April left the cast in season 15. Joe Balanza started appearing as a featured player. Tori returned as a main cast member in season 16, but Jessica, Jetta, and Austin left. Naomi and Megan became main cast members. Gabby Moore and Jericho Lopez joined the cast as featured players.To date, the series has won four Rocky Mountain Regional Emmy Awards.note Due to BYUtv not being in enough households, none of the network's shows are eligible to be nominated for Primetime, Daytime, or Sports Emmys

Artistic License – Linguistics: In "Daniel Harrison: Behind the Mustache", Jeremy's wife (Catey) is "played" by Agnetha, a Swedish talk show host, who does not speak or even understand any English (and he does not speak Swedish), making communication between them effectively impossible. In reality, Sweden has one of the highest ESL rates in the world and fluency — let alone understanding — of English is so commonplace, especially among the younger generation, as to be effectively universal. In addition, Agnetha, being a talk show host, would almost certainly be expected to speak English in order to conduct interviews with visiting British or American celebrities.

Sniff Sniff Nom: In "Couchville", Matt is digging around under his couch cushions and gets his fingers coated in an unknown pinkish substance. He reacts with disgust after taking a sniff and a tentative lick, but finding nowhere to wipe off his hand, he sticks his fingers in his mouth and slurps it.

"How To Impress A Girl", it turns out Stacey was actually the one helping Matt try to impress Mallory. "Just Like you Left It", not only was Tori present in all of Mallory's memories Mal's candy coated memories are fake.

The Cameo: "Studio C" Co-Creator, Producer and Director Jared Shore appears at the end of "Bad Boy Rap" as the handsome nice guy that Natalie falls for. Apparently Matt went to high-school with Ann, thankfully this time around he has a giant Viking familiar when dealing with her. The woman that drags Jason down in the audience during "Welcome Back Song" is actually Jason's wife, Jenny.

Only Sane Man
 Studio C / int_24321e44
comment
Only Sane Man: Matt usually plays the Straight Man to everyone else's wacky shenanigans. In "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire," everyone is trying to convince Matt that George Washington was the 26th President. Also, Matt is the only one who recognizes slang in a Spelling Bee as being ridiculous in "Spelling Bee" Whitney in I Call Shotgun. Whitney, again, in "Zombies Attack." In "Lost Plane Crash," Jeremy seems to be the only one who can see that their plane has gone down within spitting distance of civilization; everyone else is convinced they're stranded in the middle of nowhere. In "Trip to the ER", Matt's arm has been cut off. He's apparently the only one who thinks that getting medical attention is a high priority. Mallory (who is driving them to the ER) waits for ducks crossing the road, and Jason suggests stopping for fast food. Matt is the only one who knows what insulin is in "Diabetes Intervention." Not even the 911 operator knows. Their spoof of The Great British Bake Off has Jason (as Paul) taking a rare turn as the only sane man, objecting with seething rage as contestants bring him increasingly-preposterous dishes. Mary, however, is delighted with them. The Riddlernote played by Matt, naturally, of all people, in "I'm Batman". Jason in “James Austenâ€� initially finds the overly posh Matt and Mallory to be off putting, yet half-heartedly plays along to amuse Whitney, that is until Matt and Mallory insult his relationship with Whitney. After taking on Matt in a battle of Victorian mannerisms he quickly plummets back to normalcy, and the addition of fear, when Matt challenges him to a duel, with pistols... That are REAL! Mallory towards Matt in "New Year's Resolutions." Jason in "Uncomfortable Christmas Family Traditions".

Pinocchio Nose
 Studio C / int_26673a22
comment
Pinocchio Nose: "A Real Boy With Real Problems" parodies this. Instead of having his nose grow longer, the Blue Fairy makes it so that every time Pinocchio tells a lie, he gains ten pounds. It gets to the point that Pinocchio's actor switches from Matt to Dalton. The sketch arguably deconstructs this trope, as he gains more pounds even if he unintentionally tells a lie, which then reconstructs the trope by having him and the Blue Fairy using it to discover the truth behind the world biggest secrets, such as the truth of the moon landing.

Funny Background Event: "Presidential Shoulder Angel" Overtly fueling the "Mattory," craze, during "Shoulder Angel Angel," Mallory is shown having a picture of Matt in her locker, highlighted by four hearts, which she strokes longingly. Right beside her in the same sketch, Adam has photos of Whitney, Stacey and James in his locker. In "The Wrong Sketch," Adam and Stacey recreate the Shoulder Angel, to the oblivion of the cast. "P 90 X," has Matt demonstrating difficult exercise routines, while Mallory shows "adapted" versions of the exercise, and Jeremy works up a sweat, to the point of death. In "The Crayon Song Gets Ruined", the giant crayon box setpiece says "Semi-Toxic Crayons" in very small letters at the bottom.

Even Evil Has Standards: In the "Lady Shadow" sketches, the whole reason why no one fights Lady Shadow...is because she's pregnant.

An Evil Dinner Party sees Hannibal Lecter throw a dinner party, and invite Hans Gruber, Samara Morgan, Norman Bates, and... Neal Miller. Guess which one the group deems the most evil. The Monster in Stephen's closet is horrified for the boy after he is traumatized by his parents', grandparents' and great-grandmother's macabre lullabies.

comment
Vocal Dissonance: Matt doing the voice of Spencer, a baby with the (creepily calm) voice of a grown man. Natalie and Stacey's YouTube channel has a video where the cast lip syncs to Hamilton. Stacey's the only actor whose character (Aaron Burr) matches his gender. Natalie plays Alexander Hamilton, Mallory plays George Washington, and hilariously, James plays Angelica Schuyler and Matt plays Eliza Hamilton.

Properly Paranoid: In "Thesis Defense", a man takes defending his thesis too far, dressing in armor and putting himself between the committee and his paper. He winds up fighting a duel with the last remaining committee member. And then the guy who lived poisons him, showing that his fear for his thesis was genuine.

Astonishingly Appropriate Interruption: In one sketch, a man tries channel surfing. Cutting back between a workout channel, a cooking show, a press conference, and a soap opera. "There's nothing more attractive to the ladies than- a chocolate sculpture of Winston Churchill covered in- dirty money!" “Now take a whisk and really beat your arthritic grandmother.� "That's rich! Especially coming from the man who was raised by feral monkeys which contracted hepatitis." “Now we’re ready to put this in the oven, along with taxpayer’s dollars.� "All I ever wanted was THE FLEXIBILITY OF A RUSSIAN GYMNAST."

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 Studio C / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: In "Miss Frizzle's Performance Review", Miss Frizzle gets fired by the school board after her field trips leave many of her students both emotionally and physically traumatized. Their in-depth look at the Rebel Alliance Life Insurance has the presenter from HR point out that the outrageous insurance premiums are a necessary evil, as "it's very difficult finding a company that is willing to insure an organization that is undermining the government." Studio C's take on "The Gift of the Magi" fully points out the real world ramifications that a woman selling her hair in the late 19th century would have. The Evil Queen's Mirror points out that as good as she looks, she's over a thousand years older than teenaged Snow White, and has no chance of remaining "The Fairest of them All," after the effects of aging and gravity, and should just accept she looks incredibly well for her age.

Butt-Monkey: Adam in the two tongue twister skits, "Dana's Dead" and "Robbing Roger". In one Jason spits water in his face repeatedly, in the other Jason tars and feathers him in his face repeatedly. In "Kid's School Photo Banned" he gets sent through the ringer again, this time because he didn't look awful in his school photo Poor Adam ends up being this in real life among his castmates as in "The Live Million Subscriber Challenge," he ends up being the biggest loser by the end of the tournament, ending with a dead cockroach entering his mouth in the final challenge with Jason. Yuck!!! Mixed with Humiliation Conga, Jeremy in Overdue Military Letter. Matt and Jason get great gifts, Jeremy... Matt in "Narrator Hater," due to the narrator's (James) unabashed hatred towards him. Matt also has some in, "Lady Gordon's Fainting Spells", "Oregon Trail", "Bop-it Extreme", "One Angry Man". And that's to name a few. The entire basis of the Scott Sterling sketches, which feature an unlucky soccer goalie who keeps getting hit in the face with balls.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Studio C / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: Season 1 has quite a different feel from what came later. There was No Budget, so there was very little location filming or post-production work; nearly all sketches were shot live before the studio audience. This coupled with most sketches being directly adapted from Divine Comedy routines gave this season a very "stage-y" feel; the cavernous, minimalistic set design further contributed to this. Although Matt, Mallory, Jason, and Whitney continued to be the only billed repertory players until the end of season 4, in the first season there's a much clearer divide between them and the other six; they're the leads of almost every sketch and wrote almost all of them too. The supporting cast members, meanwhile, have yet to find their comedic voice; the contrast is most striking with Jeremy, who comes across bland and generic in season 1 despite having a very pronounced and unique on-screen "brand" for the rest of the series. The theme song "I Wanna Run" is also absent.

Later on though, to be fair it ends up working, only for Charlie to immediately grab the fence again when Kate and Jack aren't looking.

Time Skip: The main plot of the aforementioned Saved by the Bell parody (see Shout-Out to find the link to watch it): Stacey and Adam play two zany characters whose goofy antics bring each "episode" of the show to a close; this is then followed by the beginning of a new "episode", where time has passed, and the other three characters (played by Mallory, James, and Natalie) all notice this, with each beginning featuring a more shocking twist. It turns out that it was All Just a Dream from Mallory's character, and that the other four characters are dead, something she says to be "normal".

Spit Take: Adam gets nearly a dozen of these in his face in "Dana's Dead." And it is awesome. He is also subjected to it at the end of "Robbing Robert". Later Jason gets it from Adam at the end "Sam Sloan". And the audience went wild. Same with Dalton in "Office Splash Zone".

 Studio C / int_648fe274
comment
But for Me, It Was Tuesday: "Evil Memory Lapse" takes this trope and turns it up to twelve on the parody scale. The villain, Professor Murdock, no matter how much he wants to, can't remember who Whitney's character is, despite them being arch-foe for 17 years, he killed her father. and they even had a relationship in the past. He also doesn't remember the significance of the idol she has, even though he apparently kill 10,000 people to get it. Not even his assistant knows who she is, and she's his mother.

As the feud between their wives reaches ridiculous levels, the two are helpless in their attempts of reasoning with them. In "Celebirthsary" Matt is constantly challenged by Mallory to remember certain dates and events in their marriage, and goes out of her way to ensure he can't pick it up on context clues.

Token Minority: Stacey (the black guy) and Jeremy (the dark-skinned guy). The group takes advantage of their skin colors as much as possible. Jeremy has played characters that were Hispanic, Native American, and Indian. Stacey has played every black character in a spoof, even if they are female, such as Calpurnia or Rue. They're not afraid to point out a cast member's status as a minority, either. The sketch "She Loves You, Bro!" has this gem: In "I'm Adopted?", Matt and Mallory play Stacey's parents. When they sit down to tell him about his true parentage, he thinks he already knows what they're going to say. Turns out he wasn't adopted, but was Switched at Birth and the parents were too stupid to notice. Oh, and his real parents are... Asian?

Likewise Jason and Whitney point out the real downfalls of this trope in "The Classic Movie Slap," as Jason (Mr. Oswald) is constantly slapped across the face by Whitney (Ava) who thinks of it as subtle flirting in the midst of the Belligerent Sexual Tension she shares with her boss. Oswold disagrees.

From Bad to Worse: The misfortunes that Lord Capulet experiences in "Romeo tries to Impress Juliet," gets more and more outlandish. In "Our Wedding," after Mal reveals herself to be an evil sorceress, she kidnaps Natalie, sics a colony of bats on the bridesmaids, that carry Whitney away, turns Jason into a bunny that she flings at Matt, sends Stacey flying skyward, sets Jeremy and his mustache on fire, and finally turns into a dragon and challenges Adam. James attempts to give the audience a tour of the backstage but instead is witness to escalating chaos his cast mates are experiencing. The cast thinks that being stranded on a deserted island is bad, until Mark Rober's inventions end up making thier lives so much worst.

Bait-and-Switch In "I'm Adopted?", Stacey thinks his parents Matt and Mallory adopted him. Turns out he was Switched at Birth and the parents were too stupid to notice... and his biological parents are Asian. "No Work and All Cosplay" has Matt, Jason and James as movie theater employees. When they overhear girls talking about how they find characters from The Lord of the Rings attractive (presumably talking about characters such as Aragorn or Legolas), they dress up as Frodo, Gandalf and an orc in a failed effort to impress them. Later they hear other girls talking about boys from the Harry Potter films, but dress up as Voldemort, Snape and Umbridge. Finally, upon overhearing a girl talk about her attraction to Batman, Jason's face lights up. Since Batman is right in Jason's (the actor's) wheelhouse, we may not be prepared for the boys to come out as the Joker, Robin and Catwoman.

 Studio C / int_8c55e307

Ultimate Job Security: What most of the characters in the ongoing "Worst (Insert Occupation Here) Ever" series seem to have. Two standout examples are Matt's doctor character in "Worst Doctor Ever", who does things like telling the interns that one of them could take home the knife that is sticking out of the side of a dead stabbing victimnote Before noticing the knife, he believes the person died from kidney failure caused by untreated diabetes., and has a staring contest with a man that he doesn't realize is dead; and Whitney in "Worst Lawyer Ever", who somehow keeps getting hired after failing her bar exam for five straight years, not knowing what legal precedence or "leading the witness" means (she keeps crying out "Objection!" for it in court)note When there actually is an example of the prosecution leading a witness, the judge (played by Matt) has to lean his head towards the witness stand as a non-verbal signal to her., and believing that the defendant she's counseling (played by Natalie) is guilty of the crime she's accused of. Aaron's mechanic character takes the cake, though. He knows nothing about cars, first of all. He loses a customer's car, and tries to offer her another customer's car. He also grills burgers atop a running engine, realizes he's claustrophobic while working under a car, and worst of all, HE FLUSHES USED MOTOR OIL DOWN THE TOILET!

"Dear John" Letter
 Studio C / int_96cc4848
comment
"Dear John" Letter: Jeremy the soldier receives one from his girlfriend in "Overdue Military Letters", saying she's met someone else. A few minutes later, Jeremy opens an invitation to their wedding. He also receives an eviction notice, an auditing notice from the IRS, a jury duty summons that's eight months late, spoiled milk and meat from his favorite cow at home, the results of his military physical, which states that he is "flatfooted" and "not recommended for service", and a letter in German from Hitler himself, thanking Jeremy for saving his life in Berlin. Jeremy states that he thought that it was Charlie Chaplin. He has a moment of hope when he receives a letter stating that he's a millionaire from the maturing of his investments, only to realize he doesn't know the person who sent him the letter. It's meant for Jason, who swaps the letter for the $10 dollar bill his mother sent him as a birthday gift.

Cross-Cast Role: The show seems to have an unofficial rule that all black characters will be played by the troupe's only black actor, Stacey Harkey, who despite his Gender-Blender Name is male. So every female black character will always be played by Stacey in drag.

(This was the Cold Open sketch for the show's very first episode.) Tori and Adam in "Love Duet". Too bad it wasn't love at first note either.

Take That!: The cast REALLY doesn't like Twilight. The Man on a ledge sketch, where the reason everyone's acting as if the man played by Matt is about to jump off a building isn't because he's sitting on a ledge, but because he's about to eat an Arby's melt. This exchange in Photoshop Instructor Crosses The Line: "My Dad Could Beat Up Your Dad" has a jab at Comcast. In response to the playground threat that "my dad could beat up your dad," Matt starts actually making the arrangements for his terrifying-sounding father to fight James and Stacey's dads: Céline Dion is regarded as a huge attention hog of a diva who can't control her urge to steal the spotlight. Even the man who intially saved JarJar Binks after his hatred in the Star Wars films admits he killed him out of pure annoyance two hours later. In The Worst Blackmail Ever, the presidential candidate says who cares if a picture shows he "Prefers Kidz Bop to the real songs", only to Double Take and agree that it should be destroyed. During "Fastest Newscast Ever"... During "Horrible Halloween Costumes", an embarrassed Jason reveals his real costume under his SpongeBob costume, a Trump supporter. In "Surviving in the Attic" when Jason is helping James get used to the fact that he is now trapped in the attic for the rest of his life, like him, he mentions watching Waterworld.

Fairy Tale Free-for-All: "Disgruntled Commoners," have much to be disgruntled about given that the King has no clothes, the Queen supposedly can spin straw into gold according to her father the town drunk, the grandmother murders young girls her magic mirror tells her are fairer than she is, one princess is under the threat of falling into a death like curse by Maleficent, thus the King burns all the spinning wheels, despite textile being the kingdoms major export, the other Princess felt a pea under several giant mattresses, and the prince was once a frog. That's on top of the King hiring the Pied Piper of Hamlien who made off with not just the rats but the children when the King refused to pay him, and the King traded the entire kingdom for a bag of bean-erm bees!

Everyone in the "The Smiths" sketch, which tells the tale of a man who loses the family farm to his probably adopted evil brother Barnabie by willingly signing away the deed to it for no clear reason. Why does Barnabie want the farm? to grow prescription meds, of course! Barnabie then loses the farm when he throws the deed at Mr.Smith as part of his Evil Gloating. Sketch also includes this:

Big "NO!"
 Studio C / int_c2cedc1c
comment
Big "NO!": While not a "No," per se, Matt gives a long, loud, exasperated scream in "Jeremy Isn't Real," after learning Mallory is actually just Jason in a wig. Matt and Jason deliver one near the end of "Sam Sloane," when almost near the end of the sketch, Matt uncharacteristically screws up his summary line, forcing them all to restart from the beginning once more. Mallory and Stacey also express their frustration at this.

Offscreen Moment of Awesome: Well, More like offscreen moment of painful yet hilarious, in the skit “Romeo Impresses Juliet�. While attempting to gain Juliet’s (Natalie) attention Romeo (Jason), inadvertently strikes Lord Capulet (Matt) with a fairly hefty sized rock leads to an absurdly long line of painful and humiliating events that he endures. None of which is ever shown on screen, yet Capulet’s screams and observations, tied alongside Romeo’s reactions to viewing the travesties, lead the audience to know it ain’t good fortune that Lord Capulet had been blessed with. Jason and Natalie are viewers to their daughter's very bizarre play, that is never seen on screen.

Shout-Out Natalie and Stacey's YouTube channel has a video where the cast lip syncs to Hamilton. Along with the usual pop-culture phenomenon's (Star Wars, Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings and so on) the cast, particularly Matt and Whitney, has demonstrated their love for Downton Abbey. The hallway used in the Saved by the Bell parody is an exact replica of the iconic hallway set from the show itself. Jason seems to shout "HADOUKEN!" while breaking a painting in "The Worst Blackmail Imaginable". "A Show About Babies" is an infant version of Seinfeld, with some pretty darn good impressions, especially Jason as Kramer.

Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act: "Time Travel Heroes Stop Hitler" sees Jeremy teleport to Hitler's office in the Führerbunker in 1938, only to be joined by Dr. Emmett Brown (Jason), Bill and Ted (Stephen and James, respectively), and Hermione Granger (Mallory). It is Hermione who ends up killing Hitler (played by Whitney, who was five months pregnant with hers and Stephen's first child when this sketch was filmed). The Tenth Doctor (Matt, of course) also shows up, but only to serve Bill and Ted with a notice of a lawsuit for copyright infringement; Spock (Adam) also shows up, but only after Hitler's already dead.

Slap-Slap-Kiss: "Naturally" features a battle of wills between Matt and Mal, as each tries to out do each other in how healthy their organic lifestyles are, progressively getting angrier and angrier before the two end up vigorously making out, to an onlooker Whitney's disgust. Likewise Jason and Whitney point out the real downfalls of this trope in "The Classic Movie Slap," as Jason (Mr. Oswald) is constantly slapped across the face by Whitney (Ava) who thinks of it as subtle flirting in the midst of the Belligerent Sexual Tension she shares with her boss. Oswold disagrees.

Ship Tease
 Studio C / int_dcb9c541
comment
Ship Tease: The fans ship Matt and Mallory hard. Studio C directly acknowledged Mattory with a promotional video titled "Matt + Mallory = Mattory". They also created a playlist of Mattory moments. The season 7 opener "Jeremy Isn't Real" mentioned the Mattory phenomenon by name, but turned it on its head by revealing that the role of Mallory has been played by Jason this whole time. The "Harry Potter and the Mirror of Erised" sketch has single-handedly doubled the amount of Mattory smooching on the Studio C channel. In the comments, Matt Meese revealed that they had to reshoot a lot of it because they forgot Harry's glasses. The fans, of course, believe that was just a convenient excuse for him to kiss Mallory more. In their top 10 list of Romantic Moments, "Naturally" took the top spot with Studio C choosing it specifically for being the start of the "Mattory" phenomenon. While not as highlighted as "Mattory," or real life couple Stephen+Whitney, due to Natalie being married and having two kids, thus making it rather inappropriate, the show tends to pair Adam and Natalie together in sketches more often than others, plus their is something of a Running Gag that Adam has an obsessive crush on her.

Artistic License: "Atari's Revenge on Nintendo" plays fast and loose with video game history. Nintendo is portrayed as an American "little startup company" in the 80's, when in reality, it is a Japanese company that has been in operation since 1889. Also, the sketch ignores the existence of the Mario and Luigi characters prior to Super Mario Bros. note Mario first appeared as the hero of Donkey Kong, and subsequently as the villain of Donkey Kong Junior. Later he and Luigi, along with some of the other features mentioned in the sketch, showed up in Mario Bros.

Bad Future: Jason brings back a 50th anniversary DVD for "Studio C," from the future to show his fellow cast mates, and no, things don’t turn out to well. The majority of the Cast and Crew go on strike for three seasons, except for James who runs the show with his Lobster Bisque, however according to Jason these are the highest rated season of the show and James actually wins an Emmy. Stephen dies of an epileptic seizure due to the opening credits, causing Whitney to absorb Ann the Librarian into her personality, and remarries R.L. Stine. Natalie quits after having Octuplets, Mallory is arrested after strangling a “Mattory� shipper to death, only this time she actually gets caught. Adam is turned into hash browns after a freak accident with a real life portal gun, and then eaten by Jeremy, Adam’s actually okay with this. Stacey ages surprisingly well, but both a geriatric and senile Jason and Matt seemingly die after attempting a “Shoulder Angel,� sketch in the 49th season.

The Oner: Exploring Backstage. Jason attempts creating a viral proposal through this method, but things keep going wrong. "Best Book for 24 Hours of Productivity" is one long continuous shot of a passed out James sleeping for a little over 15 minutes while Stephen does various task and chores in the background.

All Just a Dream
 Studio C / int_ea85d6ea
comment
All Just a Dream: Matt and Whitney try to convince Jason that he's dreaming by pulling off impossible feats that baffle even themselves. Actually, Whitney is the one who's dreaming. In "Kyle's Halloween" Kyle's father has a nightmare that his overactive child was able to gain access to his trick-or-treat candy supply. He wakes up, and is relieved to find he still has the key to the freezer where it froze the candy. Only for Kyle to appear behind, and remove the key from his sleeping father's pocket. Stephen has a nightmare to find that Whitney, their son, his grandfather and everybody in the world are just pillows. He wakes up to find to his delight that everybody is back to normal, pillows with faces.

Moment Killer: Stephen and Whitney hire Matt to intentionally be this in "Third Wheel Friend." Mal in "Aww Yeah!" continues to screw up Whitney and Stephen's date. Later the "Aww Yeah!"girl returns, ruining Matt and Natalie's moment in the house of mirrors. In the "World Has Gone Cold", the Cast is in the middle of their bizarre pre-show warm up, when Jared walks in, interrupting them, causing them all to have to restart from the beginning.

Dwindling Party
 Studio C / int_ed68bcc9
comment
Dwindling Party: Happens in a sketch parody of The Newlywed Game that features Henry VIII (Played by Dalton). Whenever Henry would get an answer wrong, he would switch wives and have his former one beheaded. When the contestants call him out on it, Henry beheads them too, and then the host, and them some of the cast members. Then when everyone in the audience boos him, Henry singlehandedly beheads them all in less than 5 seconds! Ultimately subverted when it was all revealed to be just a sketch written by Dalton; the producer walks in and expresses his disapproval for the sketch, saying that it's too dark for a family-friendly sketch comedy. And so the whole sketch was revamped, and all the cast members (and the audience) are shown to be alive and they all sing about it.

The Fundamentalist: Matt's puritan roommate, who considers women to be the very embodiment of sin, charges only five dollars a month for rent because inflation is "the buttress of Beelzebub", and nearly burns Natalie at the stake because she has red hair. Then again, he apologizes to Jeremy for assuming he was Spanish when he's actually Filipino.

comment
While not as highlighted as "Mattory," or real life couple Stephen+Whitney, due to Natalie being married and having two kids, thus making it rather inappropriate, the show tends to pair Adam and Natalie together in sketches more often than others, plus their is something of a Running Gag that Adam has an obsessive crush on her.

Comically Missing the Point: In the Slasher.com skit, seriously? That's romance? The Single Killer Let's focus on James' love life shall we? "The Queen On Twitter": In "Welcome Back Song," after Jason is dragged down by the audience to what appears his death, the rest of the cast watch in complete horror, except for Stacey who continues rocking out to the song, blissfully unaware of his castmate's demise. Green is the only crayon not disturbed by Black's action in "The Crayon Song," absent-mindly bobing along with the song. Adam can't understand that Tori is insulting him by the end of "Love Duet," and would literally rather cut off her ear than continue singing with him!
