5. Bad Milo!

Although there are plenty of stories involving a demon from the bowels of hell, Bad Milo! takes a more literal approach. This potty-humoured comedy revolves around an overly stressed office worker called Duncan who's struggling with severe gastrointestinal problems.

Just when he believed things couldn't get worse, a polyp in Duncan's bowels gains sentience, turning into a demon called Milo. Any time Duncan gets worked up, Milo slips out of his colon to destroy the source of his host's anxiety. To the surprise of nobody, the tyrannical critter increases Duncan's stress levels exponentially, exasperating the very problem he's trying to fix.

The already hilarious idea is elevated further by the comedically experienced ensemble, which includes Ken Marino in the lead, Patrick Warburton, Kumail Nianjani, Gillian Jacobs, and Stephen Root. (Peter Stormare also gets to showcase his comedy chops.)

Although Bad Milo! is hysterically gross, it's also surprisingly touching. Recognising the beastie from down under is drawn to stress, Duncan tries to have an emotional connection with Milo, hoping to curb its malicious nature.

All in all, Bad Milo is a must-see, since it has a perfect balance of comedy, drama, and butt demons tearing off people's genitals. And who doesn't want to see that?
