Dead End: Paranormal Park
Barney sings about Logs – It was already a delight to see Dead End set up the climactic showdown of its first season via a magically-induced musical episode, but the highlight of it all is “Some Guy,” Barney’s wistful, romantic ditty about wanting to ask his co-worker Logs out on his date—and just how much he really fancies him. Dead End’s focus on a casually queer cast of characters, centered on Barney as the rare trans lead in an animated series, was wonderful, and there was just something special in seeing it frankly and equally casually give us a love song about one boy wanting to ask another out.
