My Favorite Shapes by Julio Torres (US)

Saturday Night Live writer and co-creator of Los Espookys, Julio Torres, has an HBO special where bric-a-brac is delivered to him via a conveyor belt that he controls with a foot pedal. Torres then gives you the back story, the hidden secrets, and the drama behind each object. Sometimes these objects have interior monologues which are voiced by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone. Also, Torres is dressed as some sort of gay alien, and apparently he has the ability to teleport around the stage.

There are exactly two kinds of responses to this comedy special. There are those who will enjoy it precisely because they are unable to fully understand it. And then there are those who will hate it precisely because they are unable to fully understand it. Which are you?
