Like, the sheer emotionality of it is shocking for a show about a bunch of dirtbags doing dirtbag things. It feels like it came out of another show entirely and it has such a surreal dream-like quality in how it's filmed. The music is also pitch-perfect here, with Sigur Ros really bringing in that sorrow home. The choreography is stunning and Rob McElheny clearly put himself through the ringer along with his partner to nail this sequence, it is very obvious that this dude worked intensely hard on this. This is all capped off with Danny DeVito's subdued reaction to the whole performance instead of his usual bluster or outrageousness.

It's an amazing sequence that feels like it came off of another show and for a brief moments highlights the humanity of this guy instead of the sociopathic comedy the show is normally known for. It's like a dramatic sequence from BoJack showing up in Family Guy. Really impressive work.
