Fun fact: They had to re-storyboard Pearl’s solo to make her face match the emotion of her VA’s performance

Vanessa's first appearance isn't actually in "Dude, we're getting the band back together" but in "The Magnificent Few" as a small, almost non-speaking part in Doofenshmirtz's subplot. He claims he hired her as his lab assistant, but in the end it's revealed that it was "bring your daughter to work" day.

"dude we're getting the band back together" has always been THE best episode of P&F in my opinion, always my family's #1 pick

Agreed

I laughed really hard when “best musical episode banned for communism or epilepsy” and I was like “omg is it PPG??” and it was! Immediately following that with “best musical episode that actually has Jack Black” also made me shriek a laugh. Anyway, good stuff, great vid!

Honestly as someone who grew up watching the super Mario show but wishes they didn't, I find it hilarious that it is home to the first ever tv musical episode.

Buffy fans love the musical episode. The show has a lot of 'concept' episodes. The lesbian stuff in the episode is specifically in it because the network was being shitty about it and Joss wanted to give them the middle finger.

As a Buddy fan w the whole soundtrack on my phone, I second this message.

I know this video is kinda old now, but the section about Community single-handedly convinced me to watch the show. I'm a sucker for found family, and the "Abed's mother having a new family" and the "it's a defense mechanism for him" parts really hit home with me. So...thanks, for giving me a real reason to give the show a chance.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold had also a really good musical episode. Even with Neil Patrick Harris as the villain.

ok i am such a sucker for musical episodes when i saw you made this video and had community and clone high in the thumbnail i was like YES. YES . OH MY GOD and the fact that you covered once more with feeling (the buffy episode) in it as well made me SO happy because i'm the biggest buffy fan in the world legitimately. so i am going to talk about buffy in your comment section i apologize in advance so first of all to answer your question about their ages, in s6 they're all out of high school. they graduate in s3, s4 is in college, s5 is when buffy's sister dawn is introduced and it's all about buffy growing up, and s6 is the incredibly terribly sad and mentally taxing season which is why OMWF is so full of intense plot and drama. while this definitely was a joss whedon passion project and that's very obvious, i personally love that it's a plot-heavy episode that's full of music cause if they tried to move all of this plot WITHOUT songs..... i would be bored out of my mind, but again i am a sucker for musical episodes. anyways moving on it's a really rough episode that isn't fun in the way that most musical episodes are, so if you aren't invested in the show then it's not for everyone. (tbh, that could be said about all of s6 though) the plot of the *whole season* is expanded on and moved forward through song - tara and willow's relationship is a BIG part of s6, giles also leaves this season which is what he sings about in this episode, anya and xander sing about their fears regarding marriage (which... their marriage fails btw it's all like foreshadowing), and don't even get me started on buffy and spike i do really enjoy this episode, but you pretty much NEED the context of the previous 5 seasons to enjoy it as much as i do and frankly i do not blame you for not getting through the entire show LMAO. (especially s4... worst season probably of the whole show other than s7) anyways this video has been incredibly entertaining and i always love being given a chance to talk about buffy the vampire slayer so thank you for that

As someone who really enjoys musical TV show episodes it's a joy to find this video! Also the editing is really fun!

finally someone reviewing cartoons that has good takes actually. the praise of adventure time AND steven universe that are both well deserved and true. and i have always been openly cringe so i dont even care that people think SU is bad, its my favorite show and adventure time is also definitely on the list of the best shows too and the songs in both shows go so hard its over isnt it and i remember you absolutely hit hard not only as songs but also emotional moments, like bro kids be getting some good food (the songs) and im glad i was also a kid getting that good food

huge fan of always sunny, soo happy to have found your channel and when I saw buffy once with Feeling I started tearing up just because I love angel and Buffy very much (understand you couldn't get through it haha) and it's absolutely one of the musical episodes in tv that just won't hit hard unless you've watched the show.

this video is like disgustingly underrated. the amount of work put into it is so good and it makes me sad that it doesn't have more views. instant sub

I know it does fit the Criteria because it’s too long for a classic tv episode, but seeing clips from Psych the Musical but not hearing about it made me sad 😂 I listen to the music on the daily and I think it’s a fun concept

I'm sure the comments have yelled this at you enough already but the Buffy musical episode is like... universally beloved. The fact that it is plot driven and not just a fun sideplot episode is what makes it so great. It's the perfect culmination of all the stories in the show and the fact that they are all miserable is good, actually. You have a point about the horny thing tho

12:52 "Not Jack Black" is Jess Harnell (Wakko from Animaniacs) btw (you probably knew that but I just wanted to mention it for anyone who didn't). Still, great video with a very fun format!

1) This was a great video! I wasn't sure what to expect when I clicked on it, but you blew it out of the water with the writing 2) Someone in the comments already mentioned this, but Crazy Ex Girlfriend is a musical show, it's got about three songs an episode? And it's hilarious and heartbreaking and another thing that starts with h. I dunno 3) At this point, you have a moral obligation to make a video on Riverdale musical episodes. Just saying

spoilers for one of the higher picks adventure time was a wonderful pick. just about all the songs in that show are phenomenal and complement wonderfully what is in my opinion the best cartoon of its decade. i also really appreciate the point about it being touching to people of many ages. i think i'm gonna rewatch adventure time now. again.

I like a lot of the songs from Stephen Universe (even the movie's songs) but Pearl's song "It's Over Isn't it" from the episode you talked about is probably my most listened to song from the show

I really like Mayhem of the Music Meister from Batman the Brave and the Bold. Music Meister has become one of my favorite Batman villains despite the fact that one episode was the main thing he ever showed up in.

im SO glad this video got onto my recommended page. its outstanding!! youre really funny and well articulated, and clearly put in a lot of work to make this video as intensive as it is. the editing is crazy. theres so much discussed in this vid and its all interesting, even the parts about shows i’ve NEVER seen. good subject matter, great execution, and the presentation is just awesome. thank you!!! as a fan of musicals and musical episodes, this scratched an itch. also i can tell you have a lot of respect for the mediums you discussed, whether live action or cartoon. the love for rebecca sugar in this vid is also heartwarming

This randomly got recomended to me and I watched it, but I didn’t notice how little views it had until it ended. This is high quality stuff and I would love to see more. Subbed.

Don't know if you've seen it, but you've mentioned liking modern cartoons so I'll recommend it. Tangled the Series is a continuation from the movie that is done so well with some truly fantastic songs that I can't recommend enough. I think most of the premier/midseason/season finales have enough songs have enough songs to qualify. It just truly has some fantastic songs, big fan of Ready As I'll Ever Be and Nothing Left to Loose are the biggest highlights for me. It's defiantly a show simular to something like a Phinease and Ferb or Steven Universe in the sense that music is highly present but not always being a straight up musical tv show. Loved the list in general, even if I had not seen many of the show. You are highly engaging to watch. (I also loved the My Babysitters a Vampire video, I loved that show as a kid. I love a found family dynamic that the show had particularly in season 2)

As someone who did choir for years and one musical in middle school and will watch almost show that seems mildly entertaining to me several times over I didn't realize how much I needed this video. And idk why but it struck me how good it is when u set up the intro for American Dad. I have unfortunately seen every Seth MacFarlane show at least 3 times and his musical talent isn't acknowledged as much as it should be!! And to reference Mean Girls the Musical like god I probably listen to a song from that soundtrack at least once a day. All this to say musicals are just fun songs that tell spell out a story and have to be preformed so that everyone can fully understand and appreciate them, and I feel like most are but a majority of the common audience for these shows don't care. Musicals get too much hate anyway none of what I said made any sense thank you for making this video xo

I also agree that American Dad is much better, love when Steve sings R&B songs with no shirt. It's always sunny is also my favorite show. Thank you for talking about it.

i actually started steven universe because my friends were singing 'it's over isn't it" one day and I was like what's that, and then watched every episode that was out until that point and have been grateful ever since

Thank you for reminding me of all the good pain adventure time has brought me! Excellent video!

NO, NOT THAT HEATHERS EP. As a devoted fan of both the movie and musical, I have never hated a tv show more in my life. Crazy Ex Girlfriend is my favourite musical show of a time. The charactrer and songs from Greg is my all time favourite especially Hey, West Covinia and Shitshow. I do love American Dad more than Family Guy. Roger is my favourite asshole. The trapped in the closet parody by Steve is so good. Always Sunny. The Nightman Cometh, I know all of the lyrics 🤣 thats how much I love this show and episode. I also adore arrested development way too much. Adventure Time broke me with the Ice Kings backstory and Marcey.

There's this Canadian TV show called Todd and The Book Of Pure Evil, its a really funny show but it has an episode that's a musical episode and the songs are all absolute bangers but surprisingly enough it also pushes the plot of the show forwards really well so it feels even better than the common musical episode

Was looking for this comment. You see season 3 yet? Crazy they had to go animated, but it's still got the heart of the show.

just enjoyed this video thoroughly (genuinely laughed out loud A Lot, cried a couple times, even for a show i hadnt seen, and was even persuaded to enjoy shows i hadnt before) and then saw it had 600 likes ???????? wth ??? this is good content, people ???????

I loved how deep you dove with It’s Always Sunny and Community. I’m a fan of both of those shows, but wouldnt have remembered half of those episodes and wouldn’t have ever known about the Always Sunny live show if it weren’t for this! I did feel like Buffy kind of got the short end of the stick because you really didn’t have the context for that episode in comparison to the others, but everything else was very well researched! good stuff :)

1:22:28 I think I have one (of many, I’m sure) answer(s) to your, ‘I don’t exactly know why I like this so much/find this so impactful from a logistical standpoint, I just do,’ conundrum. As a former theater kid (and now proud owner of a musical theater degree), the best way I’ve heard anyone describe why people tend to find music/musicals so impactful was explained thusly by a few professors of mine, and it’s really stuck with me: when it comes to musicals, character/emotional motivation to break into song/dance works like this, if you can’t find the words to explain your emotions via dialogue, you sing them, and if the emotions are too overwhelming to even open your mouth, then you express them with dance. (I’m lengthening that to try and explain what they meant in a bit more depth, the actual phrase was really more like, “if you can’t say it, sing it, and if you can’t sing it, dance it” but I didn’t want to just assume that would totally make sense to anyone and everyone without the context of, like, knowing my professors, idk.)

So Seth MacFarlane hasn't made a musical, but he did play a jazz-loving mouse in the 2016 movie Sing! The character was a complete jackass the entire time for no reason, and then at the end I'm pretty sure he's canonically eaten by a bear bc we never see nor hear about him once in the sequel.

What you said about the vulgarity in jokes is 100% true and will do anything for a full video about that

This is a really well-done video! In fact, it’s so well done that I put it on to go to sleep to when I woke up with nausea and ended up staying awake for the whole hour and a half. I hope it picks up in views!

I Was not emotionally prepared for I will remember you coming up T-T Also this video has convinced me to give American dad another shot and to check out Community! Brilliant Award show thank you for making this!!

American Dad introduced me to one of my favorite bands: Wax Fang. Just another one of many reasons that I like the show.

I watched this whole episode and you didn’t even mention the Daria musical episode HOW For serious, I dig this, you did a great job. But HOW

I have never heard the censored version of the aztec tomb joke before and it felt so natural i thought i slipped into an au. Anywho, i just discovered your channel and have devoured so much already. So exciting to find a new channel i vibe so hard with!! Great video!

remember you is by far the best episode of modern television, and by far in animation. I remember when I first watched it, and from that point on I was addicted to the show. I had liked the show previous to watching that episode, but not to this level. Essentially the same thing you said is what I felt. That episode is just such a gut grinder. At the time I was too young to really grasp the underlying metaphor for dementia, but I still comprehended the gravity of the situation. This was also the episode which made me look forward to any episode with Marceline and Simon, I was desperate for any more information about them, or some sort if catharsis to their relationship, and overall it made me care so much more about the lore of the show. I don't know if I can even put into words how much this episode effected my childhood, but anytime I hear the song I cry, maybe not so much anymore, but at the bare minimum a few hot tears.

Adventure time made me cry so many times as a kid and I've been singing The Garden Song since the first time I heard it and never stopped :p It's one of my favorite songs and I've sang it soooo many times for talent shows :p

I was so confused how I've watched this video and others of yours already, while only just finding your channel a few days ago. And then realized most of your thumbnails have a red line on the bottom that makes it look like I've watched them before. I thought I was going insane lmao.

I think the zeitgeist nostalgic era is catching up me. Finally some early 10s and late 00s rep. I'm glad to have grown up with Steven Universe, Adventure Time, and Phineas and Ferb. Their musical episodes were ingrained into my psych, and I can remember Phineas and Ferb being brought up and referenced so often in elementary and middle school. My best friend and I were huge Adventure Time fans, down to owning franchise video games and playing the Card Wars app. The show's seemingly endless universe of creativity was already my first major influence to start writing fictional stories in my notebooks and drawing illustrations to go along with them, but unraveling the more emotional narratives from season 3 onward was the first time I could remember getting viscerally emotional at a TV show. That song "I Remember You" was the precise point where I can remember that level of emotional impact that I hadn't fully understood but would linger in my mind forever.

My personal fave is Duet from The Flash. It was fun and was the only episode outside the first season that really wowed me

Here before this channel blows up, you have such a unique style and you clearly put so much effort into it. Keep it up!

this is mostly unrelated but rebecca sugar went to my old high school and attended the magnet arts program there but whats interesting abt this fact is that when famous alumni's r brought up its almost like sugar is a taboo subject n ive always found it odd bcos not even the old art teachers (who ik for a fact were teaching the arts program) bring them up when talking abt former students... sors for the tangent but this vid reminded me of this bcos of the end bit talking abt how steven universe is hated on

just found ur channel and i must say i love your vids!!!!!!

Clone High introduced me to Abandoned Pools which is honestly one of my favorite bands now, the early 2000s alternative just hits

The Buffy episode is still the best for me, as it adds so much to the story, is really fun, and has some absolutely incredible songs. Plus, the vampires dancing in the opening song is the greatest thing I've ever seen in my entire life.

Wander Over Yonder had a musical episode that absolutely deserves more attention

I was so so happy when you mentioned DWGTBBT because that's always been one of my favorite episodes of Phineas and Ferb!

I really like that u try and stay positive. I also appreciate the channeling of ur negativity into ur puppeteering art form. much love brother keep up the amazing work

This makes me want to rewatch community. I skipped all the high concept episodes when I watched it in middle school. I saw puppets or animation and thought "yeah that's going to be stupid"

came from this year's musical episode awards, figured i would drop my own favorite down here too since everyone else has lol it's gotta be wander over yonder's "my fair hatey" for me there's just so much to love about it- they skip the regular intro in favor of a whole musical-esque number (and i personally think jack mcbrayer is a fabulous singer, so bonus points) and within the context of the episode, and the rest of that season as a whole, the music is almost ironically cheerful in comparison to what the plot actually is. at one point, clean rips of all the music was available on the composer's soundcloud, andy bean. pretty sure it still is, but i downloaded the album so i havent actually looked

About 95% of the things you said I 100% agree with so this video was the perfect thing to stumble upon tonight. And no, Always Sunny was made for me specifically and this video changed my brain chemistry and now I'm in love with musicals (and you're right, a surprisingly large number of Sunny fans are theater kids and musical nerds - I believe the whole cast are - and unfortunately for everyone now I am one, too

I always want to cry when I remember I remember you

just found your channel, this shit rocks + AMERICAN DAD APPRECIATION!!

1:05:55 i notice that bob's burgers happens to be absent also since i'm commenting, nice vid, currently on first rewatch

"Dude, We're Getting The Band Back Together!" gets overlooked? where have I been??? maybe I was just too old by the time it came out, but "Rollercoaster The Musical" went completely under my radar when it first aired and when I finally saw it during a binge-watch I kinda felt nothing, the only song I can still remember is "What 'cha Doin?"

finally someone that listens to songs from musical episodes an unhealthy amount. it's crazy how many musical episodes albums I have on my phone

The Clone High episode is also a parody of the band The Who's musical called Tommy

no scrubs? this is still a really good list tho great vid!!

Love this video, hope this will blow up

Big city greens character their list: 1: Gloria 2: grandma 3: the.... the other ones

American Dad musical episodes are some of my favorites. The Krampus and Hottest episodes are some my favorites.

I cant explain the change the trajectory of my life had when i saw the premiere for I Remember You

Ain't got rhythm is the only Phineas and Ferb song that randomly gets stuck in my head. And I wasn't a big fan of Phineas and Ferb, but I love that song.

I loved adventure time when it was coming out. But tbh I Remember You is still the only episode i properly remember.

loved the video!! keep it up

Using your rules, “How I Met Your Mother” is already off of the list there's only one song in that episode.

The GALL of showing footage from Influenza the Musical yet not using it. I cannot believe it. Shia being a bad singer adds to the charm.

I like that when you bring up American Dad compared to the other two, the background has one of my favourite Family Guy jokes, which I can't mention in public outside of a KZread comment. It's a perfect "Dude!" joke: "A Looter!" "Self-defense!" "A black guy and a white guy talking together like that's normal!"

25:27 Mitchell Musso actually didn't abandon Pair of Kings he was fired because he got a DUI at the age of 18(?). They let him stay on Phineas and Ferb because he didn't show his face so he "couldn't be a bad influence" aka parents wouldn't recognize him if he's just a voice actor.

I would have loved it if you talked about Arthur's Library Card episode. Songs in that episode slapped.

I know it doesn't fit the rules, but Psych: The Musical is my all time musical "episode". I know next to nothing about actual musical productions, and my bias for Psych may be speaking here, but the episode was really funny and had great songs in my opinion. "Santa Barbara Skies" and "I've Heard it Both Ways" are great, but "You Can't Do This!" has been on my daily rotation since I first saw the episode. Anyway, you've actually convinced me to try American Dad after avoiding it all these years. Good video!

cool video, not really a fan of cartoons however the black dynamite Season 2, Episode 9 it's a great re telling of the Wiz. and i'm kinda shocked not to see "Scrubs, My Musical " not on the list or even in the comments really. I enjoyed this video :)

The Super Mario Bros Super Show probably had two theme songs to tell you if that day you were getting a Mario cartoon or a Zelda cartoon as both were part of the same show (The Super Mario Bros Super Show) although the Zelda portion eventually got seperated in re releases (this actually caused a few of the live action segments that aired with Zelda to become lost)

The fact that you played a clip from like half the other songs in DWGTBBT but not ain’t got no rhythm is pure evil 😛

The fact that I immediately recognised the heathers slime tutorial clip speaks to my brain rot

I like the power puff girls musical as a kid but the Futurama and clone high episodes are truly amazing and are from two of if not my favorite shows. (Also a lot of them have Tommy references, which is one of my favorite musicals)

THE ONE CLIP FROM THE PHINEAS AND FERB EPISODE WHERE ONE OF THE BAND MEMBERS IS STAMPING BOOKS HAD SUCH AN INFLUENCE ON ME IDK WHY BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS THE COOLEST JOB EVER TO SATMP BOOKS AND I COULD NEVER FIGURE OUT WHAT EPISODE IT WAS FROM OMG THANK YOU IM SO SHOCKED RN BC I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT IT (24:10)

My favourite musical episode is from scrubs called my musical, great set up and the songs were made by the same people who made avenue Q so very funny but theres also some nice emotional moments too as scrubs is so great at that stuff
