and that's what death is
it's eating that peppermint ice cream
on your terms welcome to watch mojo and
today we're counting down our picks for
the top 10 taiko ytt performances if you
had shown me the ways of an
aristocrat i could probably show you a
thing or two about being a bloodthirsty
pirate for this list we're looking at
the best moments from the genius new
zealand actor writer director we'll be
covering some major plot points so a
spoiler warning is now in effect what's
your favorite ytt performance let us
know in the comments
number 10. ratcatcher the suicide squad
when taiko ytt's name was tied to james
gunn's action comedy fans had no idea
what character he'd play as cleo caso
aka ratcatcher 2 tells the squad about
her past viewers were pleasantly
surprised to see ytt as the original rat
catcher he built the machines i employed
today and
taught me the secrets of calling the
rats
he kept his daughter comfortable on the
streets with the help of numerous
rodents along the way radcatcher
encouraged his daughter cleo to be kind
and to carry love for outcasts he loved
me
i wish i could give that to you ytt
manages to convey a ton about the
character with limited screen time sadly
his rat catcher died after taking too
many illegal substances when cleo was
just a kid however the impact of his
words carries a lot of weight his words
inspire cleo in the final battle
if they have purpose
so do we all number nine glutey rick and
morty hey what's up glooty hi morty do
you want to develop no thanks it just
makes sense for tycho ytt to be part of
rick and morty doesn't it in the season
four episode the old man and the seat
ytt lends his voice to glooty rick's
alien intern he has a tattoo on his head
that very clearly states do not develop
my app but rick's hapless son-in-law
jerry ignores the warnings and creates a
chaotic app called love finders no
matter how wild things get for the users
ytt plays gluti as a calm and
level-headed character
take your app down take take it down
what i'm there hostage do they have
weapons nope but neither do i his
stillness provides a great comedic
contrast when everyone else is going
through a meltdown ytt is so
entertaining in the role that we almost
forgave gluti and his brethren for
trying to steal earth's water where are
you going glooty i've got a date with
dumping a dating app
number eight mo morrison light year and
what about you well i thought this was
gonna be like a fun boot camp workout
thing
but it is not need a pen well even if
you don't moe has you covered this
self-proclaimed quitter didn't set out
to be a space ranger he didn't even
really set out to be a junior zap patrol
member he was just looking for a good
time and got roped into an adventure of
a lifetime ytt has a knack for playing
characters who are flung into
extraordinary situations yet come across
as casual about their surroundings this
makes him perfectly tailored to voice mo
who goes with the flow while bringing
levity to an epic story there was a big
swelling too i think i need a bet
despite starting as something of a
middle-aged slacker mo slowly emerges as
an unlikely hero who just might be space
ranger material at the very least he's
good for note-taking did i get it pretty
close i need that anyone saying the
harpoons number seven alamein boy oh
look at that mop of air you've got
i should cut your hair one day
yeah make you look like this fuller
i've seen thriller teen times when ytt's
alamein returns home to find stolen
money that he buried before getting
locked up he meets his sons boy and
rocky he preferred living life as a
petty criminal instead of taking care of
his children although this irresponsible
dad has many faults the actor makes him
extremely likable and since boy tends to
make up tons of fantastical stories
about his dad ytt gets to play the main
role of alamein as well as exaggerated
versions of the character my dad's not
here right now he's a busy man
he's a master carver deep sea treasure
diver the captain of the rugby team
and he holds the record for punching out
the most people with one hand how can
you not love him after seeing him using
his michael jackson moves to fight gang
members ytt ultimately kills it as the
strange yet cool absentee father in this
heartwarming hilarious and at times sad
film hey
you grow up
i will spend more time with those boys
number six antoine hovichelek free guy
wiggles antoine hey you look great i
thought you were still a burning man oh
does it look like i'm still at burning
man you you
no so shut your stupid bearded face and
listen what is a director to do when he
needs a break act in an epic action
comedy about video games of course ytt
plays antoine hobachelik the hilariously
villainous ceo of tsunami games after a
sentient npc named guy goes viral in his
hit game antoine becomes hell bent on
destroying the secret behind the
sensation's existence ytt is
ridiculously good at playing this cringe
tech mogul he brings a ton of energy to
a guy whose arrogance is constantly
dialed up to 11. sir sir just to be
clear are you telling me that it's go
time are you looking for some sort of
banter thing because you think we're
friends now and we're in some sort of
gang together yes that's exactly what
i'm looking for cool we're a team
according to interviews director sean
levy gave ytt a lot of freedom when it
came to improv this shooting method
apparently led to hours of unused
footage
we'll be waiting for that super cut and
so whatever's in the script
is influencing and informing whatever
you think you're making up on the day
cut that's in the movie number five
ig-11 the mandalorian i am ig-11 i am
this child's nurse droid and require
that you remind him to me immediately in
addition to directing an episode of the
mandalorian taika ytt voiced our
favorite assassin turned nurse droid
ig-11 his actor's first appearance saw
him voicing a cold and logical bounty
hunter but after the main mandalorian
shot ig-11 in the head the droid was
fixed and reprogrammed to use his
considerable skills to help keep the
adorable grogu safe ytt made ig-11's
evolution from enemy to wisecracking
protector believable with a fantastic
performance
you have suffered damage to your central
processing unit
you mean my brain
that was a joke it is meant to put you
at ease
he brought a surprising amount of
humanity and life to the role while
still feeling very much like a droid the
actor did such a tremendous job that we
struggled to hold back tears when he
sacrificed himself for his allies we
need you let's just come up with please
tell me the child will be safe in your
care
if you do so i can default to my
secondary command
but you'll be destroyed
and you will live
and i will have served my purpose number
four korg the marvel cinematic universe
allow me to introduce myself my name is
cork i'm kind of like the leader in here
i'm made of rocks as you can see but
don't let that intimidate you you don't
need to be afraid unless you're made of
scissors
just a little rock paper scissors joke
for you since appearing in 2017's thor
ragnarok ytt's witty and lovable korg
has quickly become a fan favorite in the
mcu the cronin warrior first met the god
of thunder in the gladiators quarters on
sakar
much of the humor comes from the fact
that he comes off as a massive and
intimidating looking warrior before he
opens his mouth when korg isn't checking
up on his friends he's providing
hilarious commentary
oh i thought
want to use a big wooden fork
no yeah not really useful unless you're
fighting off three vampires that were
huddled together audiences were beyond
grateful that ytt's character survived
infinity war to play video games with
thor in avengers end game according to
the director the upcoming thor love and
thunder will dive into korg's background
as if we needed another reason to be
excited for that film kids get to pop
corner let me tell you the story of the
space viking thor odenson number three
blackbeard our flag means death lovely
one on blackbeard
huge fan sir huge
well that's lovely but you don't need to
say sir all right it's just black beard
when most people hear the word
blackbeard they probably think of a cold
and brutal pirate who only cares about
treasure and plundering but ytt
completely flips the script on the
character and our flag means death
instead of fully leaning into
blackbeard's brutality the actor
introduces the pirate as a more
introspective character who's going
through a midlife crisis he starts to
realize what he wants out of life after
meeting steed bonnet you feel trapped
like you're just treading water
waiting to drown
yes while ytt is predictably hilarious
in the role what makes the performance
outstanding is how layered it is he's
able to take the character to places we
won't spoil for those who haven't seen
it ytt is one of the main reasons that
our flag means death is essential
viewing blackbeard always wins that's
the thing he can't fail it's not even a
challenge anymore people just see the
flag and they freak out right then they
basically just give up they surrender
number two adolf hitler jojo rabbit so
you're gonna get out there and you're
gonna have a great time okay
okay that's the spirits okay playing
hitler is a bold choice whether you're
making a comedy or a drama but ytt's
interpretation is wholly his own after
all he's playing a 10 year old boy's
imaginary friend who just happens to be
adolf hitler while this high concept
premise could have easily flopped it
works in the hands of ytt he makes the
imaginary dictator feel goofy for a
large portion of the film at times the
character feels more childish than the
young lead actor jojo great thinking
rabbit we'll use all of these books to
make a fake floor that you'll fall
through straight into a pit full of
piranhas and
lava and bacon but ytt can also turn off
the charm to portray the character as a
monster while the writer director
deservedly won the 2020 oscar for best
adapted screenplay we'd argue that his
acting was award-worthy too let me give

number one viago von d'orna schmarten
shadenheimberg what we do in the shadows
yeah of course he looks delicious with
his big red cheeks but we've all got an
agreement that we're not going to eat
stew right right what we do in the
shadows mostly follows vampiric
roommates in wellington new zealand ytt
who co-wrote the script with jermaine
clement plays a 379 year old vampire
named viago despite being a
blood-sucking murderer biago has a
certain innocence to him maybe it's the
boyish smile or his excitability ytt's
comedic timing is perfect in every scene
and as icing on the cake a good amount
of dialogue was improvised by the actor
and his co-workers like one of the
unfortunate things about not having a
reflection is that you
don't know exactly what you look like
the ghost cop
the film became so popular it spawned a
tv series of the same name with a new
cast and setting fortunately ytt and his
co-stars soon reprised their roles
during the first season as members of
the vampiric council ytt's viago is
always welcome in our homes welcome
