Laughed So Hard I Cried

This Viral TikTok turned infamous kids show (not for kids) deserves all the praise it gets. Sending you on a journey to a school concert turned knockoff Ms. Frizzle field trip to dark realm while “high” on something other then excitement; this show is is filled with satirical jokes about kids and the horrors of life that keep the audience dying of laughter.

From teaching you safety while drinking, to zipper merges and the reasons why our parents brought us here, the topics told through songs and cognitive disco dance teach the audience about life.

There is no doubt that this show is a comedic masterpiece, but a key component of this showstopper is the sheer vocal and musical talent. She might only have one famous song Scronkel Donkle but with talent like hers she could have many more.

If you are someone who loves laughing your Butt off and immersing yourself into the world of a show this is exactly what you are looking for. The songs are still stuck in my head and I could definitely go again.
