Broad city vchat full episode series#
That Broad City began life as a series of YouTube skits and is now executively produced by Amy Poehler is a remarkable trajectory, but when you watch the show, it makes total sense. They're writing for themselves, and you believe it. They're real-life friends who wear tuxedos they've stolen from catering jobs to weddings, cycle down Fifth Avenue with no pants on, and you believe they've seen their fair share of free-loading, sofa-sore-covered roommate boyfriends. But instead of vaguely "indie" Hollywood actresses pretending to be struggling, Abbi and Ilana aren't caricatures. Pop culture has been desperate for proper, imperfect female leads for ages. Find me a better metaphor for true friendship, and I'll clean your kitchen with my fingernails. Ilana is the one who smuggles out, ninja-style, a colossal turd that Abbi blocks a toilet with. From the outset, you expect Ilana to be the hedonistic one, but it's Abbi who loses a condom inside of her and later melts her neighbor's bespoke strap-on. Super-stoner Ilana works at a sales agency-"Deals Deals Deals"-where she rejoices in long morning shits before falling asleep on the toilet (she even brings her own pillow) and seems to have a special knack for pissing everyone off. In the show, Abbi is a struggling illustrator who earns her rent money as a cleaner, wiping up post-class pukes at an equivalent of Soul Cycle. And it's fine, because you have each other. You get stoned, drink reduced-price alcohol the color of urine, and laugh about it all on video chat because, well, that's all you can afford or deserve. Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer demonstrate what so many women actually experience in their 20s: loads of disappointing one-night stands and unfulfilling working days that peak in the five-minute breaks you take in the disabled toilet to inspect your ingrown pubes.
