All sorts of math just happened to bring you the official results from our Darren Criss Fantasy Vice Presidental race vote. It was neck-and-neck between Joey and Chris, but Colfer pulled out the nomination by a hair.

All sorts of math just happened to bring you the official results from our Darren Criss Fantasy Vice Presidental race vote.  It was neck-and-neck between Joey and Chris, but Colfer pulled out the nomination by a hair.

(Yes, we actually made a pie chart.)

(Sorry Dylan Saunders it cut off your name randomly)

Who would be Darren Criss’ Presidential running mate?

We answered one of your questions about if we would vote Darren Criss for President (since our buddy Barack can’t run after this year!) and threw one out there too – if we were going to vote for Darren for President, who would his running mate be?  Two good options came back in via ask – slythadorgirl suggested Glee co-star Chris Colfer and gettingcrazywiththecheezewhiz suggested Starkid co-star Joey Richter. 

Some persuasion from each camp:

slythadorgirl - Darren’s running mate has to be Chris Colfer of course. They’d be the snarkiest political team ever. Plus we’d get a musical number everyday and equal rights. We’d also get pink sunglasses and diet coke.

gettingcrazywiththecheezewhiz - Darren’s running mate would be Joey Richter. I was going to say Chris Colfer (because he’s clearly a genius) but Chris Colfer is going to take over the world.


Who do you choose?

Here it is, the final StarKid video we promised (in a player our non-US friends can use!)  For their last quiz we thought we’d give the gang something easy – Harry Potter.  Team StarKid should be experts, but are they?

Watch this raw cut of Brian, Meredith, Darren, Joe, Brian and Joey trying to guess the fake quote from the final Potter book. And don’t forget to watch our 50 Shades of Grey and Catching Fire videos too.  We can’t wait for your GIFs…

Yesterday we put Team StarKid through the pop culture paces with a 50 Shades of Grey quiz – and they failed, spectacularly.  However, we’re kind and we decided to give them a second chance on a slightly less NC-17 piece of work and see if they could rise to the occasion.

Today’s challenge – Catching Fire, the second book in the Hunger Games trilogy. They may not know much about BDSM romance novels, but we’re hoping they do a bit better on post-apocalyptic societies – their most recent tour was the Apocalyptour, after all.

Remember, we’ll release a special Tumblr-only video this week as a thank you for all your StarKid + VH1 love!

Team StarKid play Guess The Fake Quote

During their Apocalyptour we sat the StarKid’s down for a little pop culture guessing game. They may be masters of pop culture parody, but how up to date are they?  Can they tell what’s real and what we faked?

First up – 50 Shades of Grey.  Do the StarKids know a thing or two about the most popular BDSM series? Click and find out.

Check back tomorrow when we quiz them on Hunger Games: Catching Fire.  And, if you guys can drive up the viewcounts on these we’ll have an extra video at the end of the week in the Tumblr player (so you non-US fans can watch it easily!)

(Warning: One swear word in this video, so it’s slightly NSFW!)

Reverse engineering the exclusive.  Before you get to see the actual video, here’s some GIF sneak peeks of the time we spent with StarKid in NYC. Any guesses to the topic of our conversation?

Hey StarKid fans!  We’re hanging out with our old friends this weekend at their NYC show. Anything you want us to ask or find out?  We’ve got a few things planned already, but thought you might have some brilliant ideas.

In case you checked out our Starkid video before we switched the photos. ;)

You StarKids have been exceedingly patient and it’s finally time for your reward!  Team StarKid stopped by our NYC offices to talk about their recent S.P.A.C.E. tour, drop some hints for future travels (can you say West Coast and UK?!) and show off some EXCLUSIVE footage from their final weekend of performances last Fall.

You’ve seen our GIFs, so now we want to see your best ones of the above video!  We know you can make them gorgeous, just make sure to tag is #vh1 so we can see and reblog it.  And we’re not completely out of the GIF game – we’ve got a few StarKid tricks up our sleeves still…
