Carry yourself with the confidence of Julianne Moore singing "truck."
-
“actually i’m neurodivergent and a minor”- 30 year old Evan Hansen
-
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.
-
Evan always looks like he's trying to hide the fact that he's been bitten by a zombie
-
Must be a hard life being in the 20th grade.
-
Every song is triggered by someone walking up to Evan and pressing E.
-
connor's family at thanksgiving in 5 years like "remember that creep with the caked on foundation that sang pop songs at us"
-
"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.
-
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
-
Regarding Ben Platt's t-rex arm mannerisms- It's pretty clear that the reason why he does tiny gestures because Ben Platt is used to the stage giving him full range of movement, and in the film adaptation he is stuck in my tiny tv. If he gestures too widely he'll hit the side of the screen.
-
During If I Could Tell Her, when Ben Platt was advancing on Zoe with that depraved look in his eye my friend whispered "he's got a knife" and it was the most enjoyment I got out of this movie
-
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
-
"Truck" is such an unmelodic word, I can't imagine deciding to write a whole song around it.
-
“Stop manipulating a grieving family to feed your insecurities” “um, im literally neurodivergent and a minor?”
-
“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
-
"so you've got a bunch of normal looking characters looking at this big, hunching, mop-headed man. Eyes sunken into his artificially puffy face, warbling out high notes like an anxious Jiminey Cricket" is the most hilarious, out of pocket, spot-on roast of a single character I’ve ever heard I’m obsessed with the way you speak lmao
-
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.
-
The most culturally important thing to come out of the Dear Evan Hansen franchise was Rupaul thinking the main character's name is Dear.
-
“Maybe Evan is not a nice boy. Maybe he’s just a quiet boy.” Oof, that got real.
-
he literally looks 40 surrounded by all these school kids... they should rename the film to Dear Chris Hansen
