The Newfangled Four is gonna be a crowd favorite until they die

[EmileeAria]

The fact that this didn’t get them in top 5 is... bananas.

But in all seriousness, this felt right in line with the barbershop style, they were in-sync and in tune, the arrangement was solid, and it was extremely entertaining. No wonder they started to get more passive-aggressive after this year lol

[slkysmth]

This is the pinnacle of our growth as a society.

[aidanmeyer]

Their sense of humor is so unique, it gives them such entertaining character. On top of that incredible sound, I think they'll be champs not too long from now.

Before the movie starts make sure to turn off all your Bananullar devices

[andylasceski]

Starting at 3:37 it's incredible to hear them all modulate and hear that chord ring in tune with their harmonies

[trickytreyperfected]

I like how they named a bunch of [family name] phones just to make the gramophone joke at 2:55

[ireallyhatemakingupnamesfo]

That Stockholm joke was absolutely amazing

[esqimo]

the fact that they used the “phone with appeal” joke 3 times and managed to make it funny every time is amazing

[trainzandtrombones]

When the meme generation gets involved....

[deannemurray]

My childhood and young adulthood just collided in a materpiece

[mrbanana]

I guess they just don't like those Apples from nowadays

[Jennifervizzo]

Cute song, nice arrangement, lots of energy and the bari is fabulous.

[jcrocks]

So sad this group broke up during COVID. But appreciative of their very honest and open message about their reasons. It sounded like it was just too mentally and financially difficult to keep traveling while holding jobs, having families, etc. Sad, but glad they are able to still be friendly.

The 2 year old I babysit asked to watch this today! She said "I wanna watch bana phone."
We haven't watched it in a while, but she remembered it and wanted to watch it! I was pleased!!! I always get excited when she wants to watch barbershop! 😁😁😁

[jakeharvey]

Love this quartet. Tight harmonies, great blend, so stinkin fun and funny!!!! Hope they win someday. Am I the only one that loves Ryan's face (the bari) at 3:03? Lol. Also, shout out to Kohl Kitzmiller (bari of Instant Classic, sorry if I misspelled it...) for this arrangement, great puns haha.

[Michael-nqhv]

Are we not gonna take about how good 2:58 is? Like that part is so clean

[passonthering]

Even more brilliant than I remembered. Like a Pixar film I'll have to watch and listen to a ton of times to try to catch all of the awesome gags.

[ohmyblindman]

As the algorithm has just started handing me the Newfangled Four, they seem to be winning the internet.

[KatanaYurr]

They are my favorite quartet in the entire world i love them. They help me have more comedy with my quartet. Hope i can meet them one day
