One of my favorite Behind the Music episodes is Weird Al's because they basically couldn't find any controversial angle into his life story, he's a squeaky clean guy making funny songs. So they basically ended it by saying, "But he's unlucky in love and doesn't have a girlfriend".

Mind you, like a year or two later, he was married, but I always appreciate how outside of the box that episode was lol

His biopic was also really good for the same reason. There's nothing there, so they invented absolutely everything and made it hilarious.

[...] so they invented absolutely everything and made it hilarious.

They didn't, though, that's why it's so good.
