They’re both sweet about the guys they like, but Abbi worships her neighbor from afar while Ilana tells Lincoln she’s only in it for the sex. When he refuses to break character and pay them, they trash his house, steal his booze and fur coats, and sit on the street getting wasted, ultimately realizing that they only need each other to have a good time.Ībbi and Ilana are easily influenced by each other they’re similar but not the same. This episode escalates intensely from Ilana expecting to buy the tickets with a paycheck that’s been delayed to “2 Jewesses Just Trying to Make a Buck” doing Craigslist-style sex work, cleaning a house for a man dressed as a giant baby. It’s refreshing to see women unapologetically go after what they want, even if all they want are tickets to a Lil’ Wayne concert, some pot, and some drinks. This episode nicely constructs the foundation of bullshit that rules Abbi and Ilana’s everyday lives and threatens to stand in their way, but the funniest moments come from their increasingly absurd reactions to those obstacles, like Ilana stealing office supplies and leaving as soon as she realizes she’s not getting her paycheck, or Abbi telling her boss at Soulstice, the douchey gym where she works, that she might have AIDS so she can get the day off of work. Abbi is the ego to Ilana’s id Abbi masturbates on a schedule, and Ilana has sex with her fully objectified, sort of boyfriend Lincoln (played beautifully by Hannibal Buress) while Skyping. If this show is about best friends taking on the world with a twist, and the twist is that they are borderline depraved and do deeply disturbing things in their quest to live their best lives. Like most of you, I’ve already watched this entire season of Broad City, but we’re going to retroactively recap it in honor of Comedy Central recently making every single episode available for free. If you Google me, I’m not the Olympic gold medalist - I’m the other one. program to watch TV for a living (a sentence that never stops making my family very proud) and I recap a lot of shows for Vulture. Any show that starts with a Post-It-note-festooned dildo is aces in my book.
