I just finished watching the hour-long special episode of Glee, 'Born This Way,' and I'm so impressed by the writing. It dealt with so many taboo topics like the trend for adolescent Jewish teens to get rhinoplasty, self-hating Asians who have no Asian sex symbols in the media to look up to so they resort to wearing blue-colored contacts to emulate their idols, and gays and lesbians staying in the closet to avoid social ostracization.
In this fun scene, the Glee cast convinces Jewish Rachel to cancel her nose job appointment by singing a number about Barbara Streisand, who famously refused to fix her deviated septum with rhinoplasty.
This scene doesn't deal with any of the aforementioned topics, but Darren Criss' voice is just so mellifluous here:
This is the closing number, where the cast performs Gaga's "Born This Way." It's significant because you see them wearing t-shirts displaying their personal hang-ups. (Santana wears "LEBANESE" because Brittany is slow and meant for it to read "LESBIAN.")

I'll close with Tina Cohen-Chang's words in the episode (originally said by Gandhi):
"Be the change you want to see in the world."
