I Hope They Serve Beer in Helsinki

Finally they tell Doug to shut the fuck up, but still let him be on the show some more. Somewhere Celia's like, "Listen: When that show is rockin' nobody can keep up. But when that show is shitty, damn is it shitty. So you tell me." Schiff wonders about the SS Awesome Love and Andy assures him that they "lost [their] faith a long time ago," in a weirdly dark tone as though it's meaningful and not just some more passably dark humor. Schiff makes another joke about how he raped Nancy as a child, possibly causing her to be into spankings and hair-pulling and all this, the occasional rape over a table, and it's "hilarious" some more! Schiff asks if they are as sketchy as they seem to be, and Nancy's like, "No, we are on the up and up, but if anybody asks, I'm Nathalie, Shane is Shawn, Andy's Randy, Doug is Ted, Silas is Mike, and the baby's Avi. Clear?"

Hooman is the name of the hot bartender Nancy is meeting with, and he explains to her that she is racist for coming to Dearborn to sell hash to the Arabs, but mostly a dipshit because that is some leftover assumption she's served herself. Nancy swears that hash is the new hash and that these things are cyclical and that hash is retro and retro is cool and I dunno, viral and search-optimized, and finally he puts her out of her misery, because please don't tell Bobby Bottleservice what the kids are into these days, Old White Lady: "Look, I promote three of the hottest nights a week out of this space, and trust me, no kid comes here to smoke hash and get mellow. They all want to get cranked up, fuck like dogs. So, unless you're packing E or blow, you're shit out of luck, Mommy. I need up. Not down. Hash? Belongs in a fucking museum!" Nancy, feelings hurt, ageism run amok, leaves with a like "okay okay" tone in her voice, grabbing her giant purse on the way. We have not seen the last of that one, thank God.

Andy disrupts a Muslim service, and it's gross and stupid. There's envelope-pushing, and then there's the white trash Teabagger guy, Kid Rock or Axl Rose, going "How come only black people get to use the N word?" Like he's the first person to think about that. Like he's not just using this entire process of "inquiry" and "deep thought" so he can give himself permission to use the N word. If there's no other level to it, you can't imagine one out of thin air no matter how hard you try. A smart asshole is still an asshole, and this show treads on that side of the fence more than is okay. This episode is for shitty unhappy people.
