The bit with Alan Alda was fantastic. I wasn't expecting him and Clinton.

I'd tip Ilana. It's something you don't see on the subway train plus I wouldn't be afraid of her hitting me by accident due to some cartwheel or some shit.

Alan Alda is a miracle worker.
And "BM Queen" suits Ilana.

Well if you can, catch up on the episodes before this. Much stronger and more hilarious. Also if you can get a trial subscription to Hulu, you should definitely check out the past seasons. So effin' good.
As far as this one goes, it was cool but again like last week's, not as great as the first few of the season. I liked the DMV story a lot more. Always an effin' nightmare, that place.
Both Abbi and Ilana are pretty hardcore Hillary supporters, so that won't happen.

God I love these gals. Most recently the Salad Fingers bit killed me, but it's just amazing all around. I've never had a show made me utterly shocked in every damn episode, it's impressive. They're the best <3

I guess everyone's loving it, but I just saw the co-op episode and it's the worst episode of the show so far. They're hitting the point where Ilana and Abbia are becoming wacky caricatures of themselves. Abbi used to be believably awkward, now she's tweeking on a wall because... well because making a huge mess with your ass is funny, the reasoning behind that is ridiculous. Ilana was always sexual, but did she ever endanger lives by demanding to be fingered by the driver of a moving vehicle?
I love the first two seasons but this was the first time it ever felt like the show was going out of its way to be funny. Hope it picks up, and I still need to go back and watch the episode I missed, but the second was disappointing.

Come the fuck on. You're seriously going to criticize her over what she's wearing?
No, he shouldn't.
Bernies campaign is effectively dead and over. A bit too late for a Bernie episode.
Great episode, and luckily they did a lot of the comedic heavy lifting for Hillary. Hell, the best joke about her was before she even showed up, when Cynthia Nixon talked about how she's not going to enforce male pregnancy, and that yes, she can read a map.
Also, hey there, Alan Alda! Wasn't expecting to see him show up.
Oh, and good to see that Kirk Steel is still a man on a mission - a cum mission.

I'll stick through it to the end but so far most of these episodes have been weak this season compared to the first two.
When Hillary showed up I was convinced she was greenscreened in or something because she looked completely detached from the scene. Not sure how else to explain it.

It was probably just a clone.

Driving while fingering someone isn't that ridiculous or weird.
Niiiiiiiiioce.
Dude, in the very first episode, Abbi and Ilana videochat while Ilana is having sex. This show's always been over the top.

Won't happen they are huge fans of Hillary.
Considering Hillary's strong showing this week, I'd say this episode was pretty damn timely.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
And thankfully both ladies are on the right side of history.
She was pretending to Ilana in that episode, and that was a callback to when Illana did the same thing when she was excited in the season 2 episode that Abbi was going to peg Jeremy.
I figured that someone would bring up Flanderization eventually. I don't know what to say about it really. I've seen this happen on many other shows with certain characters, the only difference is that when I see it, it usually happens a little later on in the show (around the 5th season or so).
Based on season 2 I don't think Ilana has seen Flanderization just because of how ridiculous she was in that season also.

I don't remember that going for a whole episode and involving Ilana ruining her chances at meeting someone for no reason, but I could be remembering wrong.
I know the show has always been over the top, but like I said it just seemed like this episode was trying too hard.
The difference to me is that that seems like a small stretch. I could see someone watching that, turning to a friend and saying "Oh my god, I could totally see you doing that." Most of the gags in the episode I was talking about, not so much. It's stopped being an exaggerated version of situations you can relate to and started being a cartoon.
Is jumping into the driver's lap and demanding to be swaddled normal? Maybe I'm just boring to women when I drive.

Is Hillary cross eyed? She sure looked it here
??????? did we watch the same episode? she keeps the act up right until the end of the ep and when she drops it the dude rats her and ilana out and they get banned from the co-op
abbi fucks it up because the episode's main joke is shes awful with her ilana impression

Edit: Oh wait, I misunderstood your post, I thought you meant it was a callback to a prior joke where Ilana impersonated Abbi. You're saying the twerking was a callback to the pegging episode.
I got that, like I said it just a little too far across the line into being cartoonishly wacky. It reminds me of the American Office, for the first couple seasons Steve Carrell's character is clueless, but his character is still grounded enough that most people can relate to working with a boss who tries too hard to endear himself with his staff like that. But by the fourth season (I think) he's stupid enough to drive a car into a lake because his car's navigation told him to. I'm getting the same vibe from Broad City, its characters used to feel like minor exaggerations of actual people and its situations felt real. They were trying to get to a wedding, entertain themselves during a power outage, etc. A lot of this episode just seemed absurd.

The Hillary bit at the end was awkward af but the rest was hilarious.
Opening background action was so good.

I will go to my grave reckoning somebody on staff is at least a pre-time skip One Piece fan due to that surreal ending sequence with Clinton---it is absolutely uncanny for that one instance.
Great episode though, lost it at the masturbating tent guy at the DMV.

Its kind of funny because I was thinking about your post later and that was the same example I came up with for what I didnt think was happening. Im with you that the episode wasnt as entertaining as the others, but I think it was in line with the world the show set up. Its always had a cartoony bent. I think in this case just how cartoonish the coop actually was didnt happen till the end so it potentially hurt how the earlier parts of the episode were read.

I am not a huge Hillary fan but I thought this was pretty funny. The show incorporated her in a clever way, so it wasn't as jarring as I thought it would be.
This season has been really incredible so far. I think the co-op episode was the weakest, and even that was thoroughly entertaining.

Caught up with the last two episodes.
The cold openings for each episode has been great so far.
Good to see Jaime hasn't been shoved to the side completely. The Grindr bit in the end got me - "I've gone too far!"
The Hillary stuff was relatively inoffensive, and Hillary Clinton actually showing up in the end was neat. Obviously, it's an endorsement for her campaign, but it wasn't that on the nose within the confines of the show. She shows up, says something about voting and awareness, brings in one of those Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing TubeMan Woman, and calls it a day.
