YMMV / Commentary! The Musical

Go To

  • Awesome Music: It's called Commentary: the Musical. Honestly, what did you expect?
  • Crosses the Line Twice: As mentioned below, the only reason "Nobody's Asian in the Movies" is funny is because ever single line is uncomfortably true.
  • Death of the Author: "Heart (Broken)", all about Joss harking back to the times when authors didn't have to reanimate themselves and explain their work to make some more money off the DVDs.
  • Heartwarming in Hindsight: Maurissa Tancharoen, who sang "Nobody's Asian In The Movies," later became one of the producers of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., a series that has two Asian women (Chloe Bennet as Skye/Daisy Johnson and Ming-Na Wen as Melinda May) in leading roles. So even if Maurissa had to produce it herself, at least there is one show out there that's making an effort to amend the issues that the song was satirizing.
  • Ho Yay: At the beginning of "Better Than Neil" Nathan admits to lying awake at night, thinking of Neil Patrick Harris. A few lines later he asks what he's wearing.
