The Scrubs musical episode had some real bangers. It's not always cringy or bad

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 26 points 4 months ago

It's guy love, between two guuuuuuuuuuuys

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I now fully understand the need for "/s"

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 4 months ago

The musical episodes in The Magicians were all bangers too.

It's more of a "breaks the flow of the show" kinda thing more than the songs themselves for me

Not when it's Buffy. It fit right in.

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 5 points 4 months ago

Buffy and scrubs are the only two where it was good and worked and made sense in the show. Star Trek strange new worlds has tried to follow that, with making the story make sense to have singing, but it’s just cringey.

The Buffy one was pretty good

[–] Underwaterbob@sh.itjust.works 18 points 4 months ago

Once More with Feeling

It's possibly the only good example.

[–] bmpvy@feddit.org 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I still can sing at least two songs of that episode by heart. I made the teens of the family watch it too and we've agreed that LET ME REST IN PEACE is the best song^^

Same, they're often some of my favorite episodes, not just because I like musicals.

  • Writing one often requires much more planning and effort
  • Seeing how they creatively shoehorned the reason for it being a musical episode is always fun (e.g. Scrubs, Star Trek Discovery)
  • Some certified bangers

all right that was pretty much the best part of that episode

[–] TheDoozer@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

I was mad the whole episode except when they mentioned it was affecting the Klingons, and basically finished the episode in the hopes that they would show that.

And it more than paid off. That scene was magical.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 4 months ago

As hilarious and peak as it was, that shot of Sam digging it is what really kills me every time

[–] hoch@lemmy.world 22 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Same, except for It's Always Sunny

DAYMAN, ahhAHHHahhh

[–] qupada@fedia.io 18 points 4 months ago

Also Futurama, though the "musical" episodes there tend to be only a single song.

How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back is a masterpiece though.

Yeah see that worked cause it was the gang throwing a musical, but actual musical episodes like the gang turning black, those I dislike.

[–] AnarchoEngineer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Futurama had a couple bangers both Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back and, of course, The Devils Hands Are Idle Playthings

Destiny has cheated me by forcing me to decide upon

The woman that I idolize, or the hands of an automaton

Without these hands I can’t complete the opera that was captivating her

But if I keep them, and she marries him, he probably won’t want me dating her

musical hate gang checking in

[–] GreatRam@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago (2 children)

The Psych musical episode songs are so catchy they still randomly get stuck in my head

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 4 months ago
[–] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 months ago

Maybe I should give them another try but I tend to skip musicals even when it comes to my favorite show, Psych

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

I hate actual musicals, but generally like musical episodes of TV shows, like Scrubs and Community both have good ones.

[–] klu9@piefed.social 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Except American Dad!

Having people who can actually sing helps so much.

[–] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 2 points 4 months ago

They have such insanely good music taste on that show. It's always stuff you'd never think to use, too, but it fits every time.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 8 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Once More, With Feeling (Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 6 episode 7) was the greatest episode of any show on TV ever. 😤

[–] JandroDelSol@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

literally watched it last night with some new friends in the fandom!

[–] toiletobserver@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

But main Street's still all cracked and broken, sorry Mom the mob has spoken, monorail!

[–] Novamdomum@fedia.io 3 points 4 months ago

Just the songs? (laughs in ADHD) 🤣

[–] oplkill@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

My Little Pony music episodes are not suck

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 1 points 4 months ago

We’d got so close to the end of Doom Patrol too.
