Outside the Box

Some excellent musicals have been made out of some truly unlikely subjects ("The Diary of Anne Frank," for example). But they are in the minority. That's why this series is so hilarious. It isn't afraid to explore the worst, most mind-numbing musical adaptations that are lurking in the hearts of the untalented among us.

Writer/director Bruce Kimmel mines this in both songs and jokes that will keep you laughing -- and even humming -- long after each short episode ends. I would list some of the tasteless topics covered here, but that would require too many spoiler alerts. Just watch and enjoy. Great guest stars add to the fun.

Big Happy Pants, indeed.
