Even some of Glee’s former stars agree that there were messy plotlines that deserved a slushy in the face.
The Fox series ran for six seasons from 2009 to 2015. In August 2021, Darren Criss (who portrayed Blaine) called “The Fox” by Ylvis, which was featured on season 5, the show’s worst cover.
“It was so weird,” Criss explained on the “LadyGang” podcast. “It was one of these 15 minutes of fame for this song and they just decided to put it into the show. I had fun because it was ridiculous. … The more absurd it is, the funnier it is to me. So I’m sure there were people who were like, ‘What the f—k is this?’ and I was like, ‘I know, right?!’”
Criss’ admission is hardly the first time a Glee alum called out the show for its confusing character arcs or bizarre song choices. The show’s creator, Ryan Murphy, also had a few numbers that he regretted including on the series.
