4. Springtime For Hitler - The Producers
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiryTUCtLNA When it comes to politically incorrect theater, you might think that Book of Mormon wears the crown. But then you remember that Springtime for Hitler exists. In attempting to manufacture a certified Broadway flop, Max Bialystock and Leopold Bloom go to great lengths to find the most offensive subject matter for their musical, and then fill it with ridiculous choreography and absurd costumes. The result is this brief musical number, which extols the virtues of Nazi Germany. And it truly is a paragon of poor taste. But what theyre not counting on is their musical being so horribly offensive that it actually goes full circle and becomes hilariously camp.
