Trivia / Studio C

• The Cast Showoff: While the entire cast has somewhere between very good to passable singing voices, many sketches feature Whitney demonstrating her impressive Soprano range.
  • Matt in the Tongue Twister Sketches usually is the only member to constantly get his lines right, most demonstrated as he always is given the incredibly difficult summary Tongue Twister at the end of the sketch. However this is spectacularly averted in "Sam Sloane."
  • The new cast in Season 10 are initially, very prone to put musicality into their sketches.
• Corpsing: Jeremy's superpower is that he can keep a straight face through anything.
  • Mallory totally loses it in A Bold New Soap Opera.
  • Mallory and Whitney both in A Bold New Telenovela.
  • Matt and Mallory both fail to keep a straight face at the end of "Dungeons and Dragons."
  • Matt is clearly on the verge of laughter in "Awkward Double Date with Puritan Roommate."
  • Matt is visibly smirking and desperately trying to keep it together in "A Friend's Dying Secrets," where he is actually playing a corpse. Jason, who can usually keep it together, lost it as well. Some quick improvisation tried to cover it up.
  • "Cheer Up Mix Up" had both Matt and Adam struggling to keep it in. To be fair, Adam was sporting a "LOSER" forehead tattoo at the time.
  • Matt has become so well-known for breaking character that Studio C has created a playlist of sketches in which he does it.
  • Jeremy finally breaks character in "Atari's Revenge on Nintendo".
  • While they all, no surprise, lasted longer than Matt (The Flash), in "Wonder Woman fights for Equality" after Natalie (Wonder Woman) accidentally slams Jason (Batman) harder than she intended too into the desk, (to the point that she actually put a crack in the table) all of them, James (Superman) included ended up visibly chuckling and smirking at the circumstances. To his credit Jason was able to remain his composure longer than the other three.
  • Impressively averted by Mallory in "Prince Charming's Awkward First Kiss," in which she remains completely still and in character as an unconscious Sleeping Beauty, despite all the shenanigans Adam's Prince Charming puts her through. The two even mention how amazing this was in the React Series, especially given that neither were able to keep it together during dress rehearsals of the sketch.
  • One of the charms of the "tongue twister" sketches is watching the regular players (Matt, Jason, Stacy, Mal and Adam) crack up after mistaking their lines.
  • In "The Worst Blackmail Imaginable", Jason's character is upset and turns away from Stephen, only to accidentally bump into some easels. To cover it up, Jason angrily knocks them aside and faces the wall. Whitney struggles to suppress her laughter in order to deliver her next line.
  Whitney: Sir... (covers her mouth to hide her laughter) sir, these... photos prove that you are— (laughs)
  Jason: It was an overreaction! I'm sorry!
  Whitney: Calm down! Count to 10 and stand in the corner!
  (Jason immediately puts his face in the corner.)
  • It's Jason's turn to be a laughing dead body in "The Most Effective Punishment Ever Created!"
  • In "Crime Stinks" Stephen is doing everything in his power, and failing, to keep from laughing when Jason goes on a tangent about stinky cheese. To his credit Jason does admit the entire speech was an ad lib, and Stephen wasn't expecting it.
  • "Cyber Bullies", Jetta is completely blindsided and loses composure when the actor playing a robot suddenly twists his headpiece backwards.
• The Danza: Particularly in early seasons, the actors, when not in character as (e.g.) Capt. Literally, tend to go by their own, real-life names, though not as their own, real-life selves. This seems to be occurring less frequently in later seasons, where they seem to be using character names more often instead of their own.
• Magnum Opus Dissonance: During production of the show's fifth season, the cast and crew poured a lot of time and energy into their series of The Hunger Games sketches, three lavish musical numbers about each of the three main characters, fully expecting them to go viral in the wake of the release of the Mockingjay Part 2 film. Everybody was blindsided by the massive popularity of the Scott Sterling sketch, which was written and filmed as just another ordinary sketch that season. The original upload of the Scott Sterling sketch has 60 million views on YouTube, far and away their most popular, whereas the most popular of the Hunger Games sketches, Peeta's Song, has "only" 5.4 million views and isn't even in the top 10 most-watched videos on Studio C's channel. (It's at #11.)
• Real Song Theme Tune: "I Wanna Run" by Mates of State, from season 2 on. In the first season, the show used a guitar-driven Instrumental Theme Tune. Funny story about "I Wanna Run": when the show commissioned the song, only the chorus had been written.
• Romance on the Set: Stephen proposed to Whitney at a Divine Comedy show, before Studio C was formed, and they are now married. This is why sketches that call for a married couple so frequently use them.
  • Ike and Jetta - two members of the new cast - were also a couple for over a year.
  • Actor Shipping: Matt and Mallory are paired up fairly often when in character, but in real life "Mattory" is not a thing, no matter how desperately the fans want it to be otherwise. Mallory has even joked that she's going to throttle the next person who asks about it. Incidentally, the show itself is not above playing this for all it's worth.
  • Eventually Tori revealed through an instagram post that she and Matt have been dating.
