Timeless Appeal posted:I cannot emphasize how amazing this episode is if you know middle aged women from Long Island because those ladies are loving insane about knock-off Chinatown bags. I couldn't breathe during that whole section. That whole part was great. I've known friends of relatives from my Jewish family who will go to Chinatown and buy a whole bunch of knockoff bags or jewelry or scarves - and yes, it is like that one girl's* mom who goes, "And this is for Lisa, this one for the Rabbi's wife," etc. They don't seem to make any money on the bags when they bring them back to Long Island, they just like being the person who "knows how to get things". And it works - whatever they bring back becomes a big conversation piece at the next family dinner. *This is the first episode I watched. I wanted to see Jon Stewart announce his retirement, and that led to me watching Comedy Central's late night lineup; I haven't watched actual live cable TV in months. That episode was great though, I'm definitely going to try to watch it more.

EL BROMANCE posted:I'm not 100% sure about the not seeing the roommate thing. Works fine when it's just a silly plot device and she's never around, but having her at an event and blocking her view etc is just awkward. Plus it's been done a million times and Broad City is usually super good at flipping tropes like that. I hope there's more to it than what we've seen already. I agree, it was only cute when it was obvious they weren't pulling the unseen-character gag. Her face was blocked out and she was never around, but I really thought the show was going to do a switch by having her pop out of the bathroom when Abbi was talking to her.
