Chicken Wing November 21, 2015 Share November 21, 2015 (edited) Why do I love this show so much when there's almost nothing objectively good about it? It's like an abusive relationship. I need an intervention but I don't want it to work. I also laughed at Chestnut "making" a gag face along with the girls, because it was such a cutesy cartoony thing to do, and horses look adorably goofy when they open their mouths like that. I also laughed at Sophie's Vitameatavegamin face when she was drinking that green juice. (It's weird that even though I find Oleg and Sophie individually annoying - and please, for the love of God, can we mute the audience clapping when she enters the room? Enough of that!! - I find them as a couple kind of cute, in a so-ugly-it's-cute zoo animal kind of way. And best of all, Candy Andy's back next week!

joanne3482 November 23, 2015 Share November 23, 2015 I wish I could understand how they plan to resolve this Sophie baby storyline in a way that will be funny. If Sophie gets pregnant and has a baby that will NOT be funny at all. I am not positive those two could keep a houseplant alive. If Sophie wants a baby so much and can't have one for whatever reason (the one hinted at being her age) that's not really funny either. That's mostly sad. The only way I could see a resolution would be if they took care of a friend's baby for awhile and figured out it wasn't for them.

Katmai November 25, 2015 Share November 25, 2015 The dark haired one, Max, makes constant comments about her boobs and is always good for the crude jokes. The money totals at the end of each episode are supposed to indicate how the 2 Broke Girls either made, or lost, during each of their adventures.

I can't figure out what it's for The original conceit of the show was for the girls to save money to open their own cupcake business, so each episode tallies how much money has been gained or lost for their cupcake tally. We're now in season five and they've now had a cupcake shop, went broke, opened a smaller shop in the form of a walk-up window in a side room at the diner (which still continues), invested in t-shirts to advertise their business but lost their contract with the loan still to pay, etc. The total has gone as high as $21,000 when they got the money (from neighbor Sophie) to open the first shop and as far down as $1 when the shop closed. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/58392-2-broke-girls-general-discussion/#findComment-1749283

chocolatine November 28, 2015 Share November 28, 2015 I used to really enjoy this show for the first two seasons, but after that it's really gone down the drain. The diner format has gotten beyond stale, the characters of Han, Oleg, and Sophie are damn near unwatchable, and even Earl - whom I used to love - has become one-note. The girls no longer seem to be striving to expand their business beyond the cupcake window, Max isn't using her pastry school education, and their romantic relationships (married chef, dumpster guy, underage male model) are dead-ends. The girls must be close to 30 now (IIRC Caroline said she was 26 in S1), and they're no better off than they were when the show started. For some reason I still keep coming back to this show, watching it on demand when my other shows are on hiatus, so I watched the new S5 episodes this week. I thought the buyout story could have been such a great opportunity for a reboot, to get the girls away from the diner and to light a fire under them to re-focus on the business, but of course the show blew it and everything will stay the same.

TheOtherOne January 7, 2016 Share January 7, 2016 (edited) This was the kind of episode that makes me wonder why I still watch this show, because I really hated every single person in it, except for the guest star. I called the two penises as soon as the "not regular down there" came up (I was reading all the same blogs the writers clearly were a couple years back when the real world guy with two penises started talking about his experiences on Reddit--and showing plenty of pictures--and the story started making the rounds). But the minute Max revealed it to Caroline, and they all started acting like such colossal assholes, I just felt gross. These people are awful. It wasn't funny, it was just a bunch of people acting like jerks, and I left the episode just feeling bad for the guy. Ugh. This show is the worst.

That's something you do on the side. There are so many millions of opportunities out there for young, smart, good looking girls. I don't understand why they stay in such a dead end job with no future prospects.

One episode they're making t-shirts, the next one I watch Max is in school and Caroline works at the school, the next they're baristas, the next they have a cupcake shop.

Chicken Wing January 15, 2016 Share January 15, 2016 Their main focus is the cupcake business, and they'd probably be a lot more successful at it if they'd stop going off to do other things every five minutes. The t-shirts were a marketing investment to help advertise for the cupcake shop, but it sort of took off and became a focus of its own, which annoyed me. Are they in the business of selling cupcakes or t-shirts? Focus, girls. The barista one was a one-off. They just wanted a couple of hours of experience learning the Starbucks cappuccino machine so they'd know how to use the cappuccino machine they bought for the cupcake shop.
