One day, the cast of Glee had teenage angst problems. They decided to express them with heavily-processed pitch-corrected inoffensive pop songs. There was some kind of theme, like songs of horror or something.
The non-white non-straight ones comforted the others and helped them through their angst. The straight white ones rejoiced, and the teacher felt pleased even though he'd done nothing except tell them to sing stuff.
All through this, Jane Lynch was awesome but not awesome enough to make your narrator actually watch the show.

A production number commences.

Then some girl gleefully says, "It's time for choir!"
The whole school runs into the gym, where the gym teacher blows her whistle and leads them all in song and dance.

"One word" came the response "Schadenfreude"
