* FanCommunityNicknames: Mostly, it's "Starkids." "The Hive" has also popped up for fans of the Hatchetfield universe specifically.
* FriendlyFandoms: Team Starkid is considered "adjacent" to the Creator/TinCanBrothers (which was founded by three of the original Starkid actors and regularly shares performers with Starkid). Many Starkid fans regularly include Tin Can Bros productions on lists of Starkid productions, especially ''Theatre/SpiesAreForever'', which is a very Starkid-like genre parody comedy musical. Really, the only distinction between a TCB show and a Starkid is that the Starkid trademark is owned by the Creator/LangBrothers and applies only to the shows they write and produce.
** WebVideo/ShipwreckedComedy is considered adjacent to the Tin Can Brothers (and therefore indirectly adjacent to Starkid), with Shipwrecked's biggest and best-known production [[WebVideo/EdgarAllanPoesMurderMysteryDinnerParty Poe Party]] prominently featuring Creator/JoeyRichter and Creator/LaurenLopez, and with both troupes frequently overlapping casts with each other and Starkid since then. (Most notable is Creator/CurtMega making his debut in the comedy-web-series universe AsHimself in TCB's ''Theatre/SpiesAreForever'', then appearing in [[WebVideo/EdgarAllanPoesMurderMysteryDinnerParty Poe Party]] before his official Starkid debut in ''Theatre/BlackFriday''.)

For Starkid fans, it was notable that Creator/LaurenLopez presented herself as a wholly neutral party on the Tin Can Bros' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygD3nCA9K3g livestream]] addressing the issue and said Nick Lang and Starkid were trying to stay [[ChoosingNeutrality above the fray]].

** Creator/TeamStarkid is also a Friendly Fandom with the fandom for ''Theatre/DearEvanHansen''. Andrew Barth Feldman, the youngest Evan Hansen from the Broadway cast, revealed he's been a huge Starkid fan since he was a child, and has invited Starkid members multiple times to participate in his Creator/JackBoxGames fundraising streams, and has been invited to participate in a Starkid live-reading of ''Film/AddamsFamilyValues'' in return. Music/PasekAndPaul are, in fact, former classmates with the core Team Starkid members from the University of Michigan's theatre department in the mid-2000s, and Creator/DarrenCriss has performed songs from the show multiple times at concerts, including singing "Waving Through A Window" with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loMHIV_YsdU Benj Pasek himself]].
** WebVideo/ThomasSanders is openly a Starkid stan and has introduced much of his younger audience from ''WebVideo/SandersSides'' to Starkid, including creating a tongue-in-cheek online "petition" to "Cast Thomas Sanders in ''Theatre/BlackFriday''!"

** Creator/TeamStarkid is also a Friendly Fandom with the fandom for ''Theatre/DearEvanHansen''. Andrew Barth Feldman, the youngest Evan Hansen from the Broadway cast, revealed he's been a huge Starkid fan since he was a child, and has invited Starkid members multiple times to participate in his Creator/JackBoxGames fundraising streams, and has been invited to participate in a Starkid live-reading of ''Film/AddamsFamilyValues'' in return. Music/PasekAndPaul are, in fact, former classmates with the core Team Starkid members from the University of Michigan's theatre department in the mid-2000s, and Creator/DarrenCriss has performed songs from the show multiple times at concerts, including singing "Waving Through A Window" with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loMHIV_YsdU Benj Pasek himself]].
** WebVideo/ThomasSanders is openly a Starkid stan and has introduced much of his younger audience from ''WebVideo/SandersSides'' to Starkid, including creating a tongue-in-cheek online "petition" to "Cast Thomas Sanders in ''Theatre/BlackFriday''!" Nick Lang has acknowledged he's aware of Sanders' petition but hasn't otherwise responded.
** As of March 2021 Creator/TeamStarkid has gotten a ColbertBump from [[https://youtube.fandom.com/wiki/Ranboo Ranboo]] of the LetsPlay/DreamSMP server streaming ''Theatre/TheGuyWhoDidntLikeMusicals'' on Website/{{Twitch}}, connecting Starkid fandom with the -- very young and very active -- ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' Website/YouTube fandom.
* HostilityOnTheSet: When Bonnie left Starkid, she unfollowed the rest of the cast on social media. When they were asked about her departure, they responded that she was "eaten by a lizard". Things apparently settled down enough over the years that she returned for the ''Starkid Homecoming'' celebration in 2019.
* OldShame: Nick Lang has talked in general about Team Starkid's sense of humor maturing over time, and has specifically disavowed the character of Umbridge from ''Theatre/AVeryPotterSequel'' saying he agrees it's deeply hurtful to trans people and he'd never do a similar joke today.
** Creator/JoeWalker's stepmother came to see ''Theatre/{{Starship}}'' and gave him a frank review that she felt the script was "deeply misogynistic", particularly in the way the character of February was treated, which Joe and the Creator/LangBrothers felt was a fair criticism and played into their view of ''Starship'' as a flawed show that they'd like to heavily revise if they had the chance.
* PromotedFanboy:
** Robert Manion first came to Team Starkid's attention as a teenage entrant in a fan contest to submit a costume and a song for ''Theatre/AVeryPotterSeniorYear'', all the way from Australia. He went on to come to America to join the ensemble for ''Theatre/{{Twisted}}'', help direct ''Theatre/{{Firebringer}}'' and finally became a core member of the troupe with the Hatchetfield shows, and is ''by far'' one of the most popular members among the younger generation that got into Starkid through ''Theatre/TheGuyWhoDidntLikeMusicals''.
** Mariah Rose Faith also falls into this category -- although she was already Internet-famous with her WebVideo/YouTube channel of Broadway covers when she first appeared in ''Theatre/TheGuyWhoDidntLikeMusicals'', she revealed later that she was a huge fan of ''Theatre/AVeryPotterMusical'' as a little girl before being cast in the new show.
** See FriendlyFandoms below -- the members of Shipwrecked Comedy considered themselves huge fans of ''Theatre/AVeryPotterMusical'' and Starkid before they founded their troupe in 2013, and it was a really exciting moment for them to finally work together with ''WebVideo/EdgarAllanPoesMurderMysteryDinnerParty''.
* RomanceOnTheSet: As of September 2018, the first Creator/TeamStarkid engagement has been announced, between Brian Holden and Meredith Stepien. As of August 10, 2019, they're now married! Joey Richter and Lauren Lopez also confirmed they'd been dating for 8+ years, and in mid-2020 announced their engagement.

Many Starkid fans regularly include Tin Can Bros productions on lists of Starkid productions, especially ''Theatre/SpiesAreForever'', which is a very Starkid-like genre parody comedy musical.

Produced by Al Fallick, Clark Baxtresser, Pierce Siebers, Nick Lang and Brian Holden. In a parody of AllMusicalsAreAdaptations, the show takes place in a world where ''every'' popular film ever released has been adapted into a musical, from ''Film/TheGodfather'' to the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse -- and, moreover, one starring a very old-fashioned campy Broadway diva named Halpert Evans. The show is presented as a [[GreatestHitsAlbum greatest hits showcase]] of Evans' career, with Al Fallick playing Halpert Evans and Clark Baxtresser as his longtime accompanist and biggest fan Courtney. Includes appearances from Starkid regulars Jaime Lyn Beatty, Corey Dorris, Brian Holden, Nick Lang, Creator/LaurenLopez, Joey Richter, and Dylan Saunders, along with Mary Kate Wiles from ''WebVideo/TheLizzieBennetDiaries''.
