“The Breakfast Burrito Club” – The gang pulls an
all-nighter at the office trying to come up with an angle for their new ad
campaign. The one is crammed with fun
stuff: Sydney’s uncanny ability to draw
perfect circles, Lauren’s unsettling poetry, and our first real hint of
Sydney/Andrew!
Best
Line: “I’m just gonna have to call HR on
myself. It’s gonna be an awkward call; I’m
the HR watchdog for this entire floor.”
(Andrew)
“Sydney, Australia” – Sydney finds herself in a delicate situation when her former coworker Danny hits it big with a love song he wrote for her. Danny is played delightfully by Josh Groban, his song is ridiculously catchy, and its stalkerish tendencies are mocked by Zach, Andrew, and Lauren in a fantastic, hilarious scene.
Best
Line: “Murder beats, not people, Danny!”
(Zach)
Simon Roberts Was Here” – Simon goes
toe-to-toe with the firm’s new quantitative analyst, a humorless
number-cruncher who values market research over creativity. There’s a great Battle of the Ads, some
amusing human-cat bonding, and the Can-Can’t pitch, which is one of the best
the team has ever done.
Best
Line: “What? I read the box – it says ‘human-grade,’ you
elitist.” (Andrew)
“Hugging the Now” – Sydney is nervous
about seeing her high-school crush again when he and Simon compete for the same
honor at an advertising awards gala.
Some good Buffy references here, along with a shrew idea by Lauren and
the terrifically funny/sweet “snow globe” scene.
Best
Line: “First rule of snow globes: no talking in snow globes!” (Andrew)
“The Intern” – Sydney feels sorry
for the new intern, because she knows what it’s like to have your success chalked
up to nepotism, but the rich, spoiled girl isn’t a horse worth backing. Highlights include a sly reverse-psychology
pitch, an epically drunk Sydney and Lauren’s perfect guy: Zandrew.
Best
Line: “Is she championing the cause of
the over-privileged?” (Zach)
(Also,
Andrew and Zach evidently give the best one-liners of the bunch. Let’s hear it for the boys!)
