Ilana experiences a similar fall from grace in this episode. “Eat my ass one at a time!” she taunts, bent over after her team wins a low-stakes game of tug of war.Ībbi taunting the other team after winning at tug of war Comedy Central/Broad City What started out as a chance to prove her worth to her coworkers ends up a disaster, but not without maybe the funniest slapstick sketch from Abbi in all of Broad City. It’s a side that no one at Soulstice has ever seen from her, which leads them to believe that she is taking steroids to try and fit in. Among the other trainers at Soulstice who are more athletic than she is but far less competitive, Abbi makes a complete fool of herself as she channels the Abbi who went berserk during a game of red rover at summer camp in 2002. When it comes time for Abbi to participate in her first Soulstice Games - an annual event where the trainers split up into two teams and compete in various games - she knows that her hotheaded, inordinately competitive side will come out. While the beginning of the episode finds both with more power than usual, things turn sour for them as their funniest but most inappropriate sides get the best of them.Īt the end of the second season, Abbi is officially promoted to trainer, which is one of the only fortunate things to ever happen to her in the show. In last night’s episode “Game Over,” the girls are back at their jobs for the first time in the third season. While Abbi badly wants to be promoted to a trainer, Ilana makes no effort to contribute at her mundane office job at an internet company - when she shows up to work every other day, her outrageous vulgarity makes her demure coworkers highly uncomfortable. Abbi works as a cleaner at a luxe gym called Soulstice, where the better-paid, more important personal trainers routinely call on her to take care of “pube situations” in the locker room. Part of what made the first two seasons of Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer’s Broad City so relatable and hilarious were the episodes that showed them at their dead end day jobs.
