Happy Endings -- "Big White Lies" -- 3/28/12

Synopsis:

Spoiler:
What starts out a white lie on Penny's part to avoid an annoying childhood friend (guest star Mary Elizabeth Ellis, "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia") snowballs out of control as the whole gang is caught up: Jane fakes a pregnancy (complete with fake baby shower), Dave pretends he's terminally ill and Alex fakes a change in sexual orientation. Meanwhile, Max and Dave's lonely landlord (guest star Ben Falcone, "Bridesmaids"), jealous of their active love lives, looks for ways to evict them -- until he takes a shine to Alex -- on "Happy Endings," WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28 (9:31-10:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.


Episode 20 of 21

Next week is apparently the season finale. They did produce a 22nd episode called "Like...Like a Prayer", but it looks like it's not airing this season.

Poor Waitress, always plays the social outcast.

Great episode. Young Penny was great. Too bad the season ends next week.

Thought Alex stole the show on this one. They're starting to give her some good lines and with the characters stupidity it really works.

Her waking into the party dressed as Ellen and dancing got a big laugh out of me.

Did she get really fat over the course of a few months or what? I barely recognized her! She was just on New Girl a few weeks ago too.

But she is married to Charlie Day so I bet she doesn't mind.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned the old-school (3's Company) sitcom tropes this episode was continually making fun of; being worried about such low stakes, or something like that.

About a month ago, I wouldn't have known what you guys are talking about - "waitress"

But now I'm hooked on "It's Always Sunny..." on Comedy Central (syndication). So far, my favorites are the ones where they are trapped in the house and the dancing contest.

Hilarious episode.

Loved Alex doing the Ellen impersonation.

Alex: "I'm Ellen! I figure if I'm going to be a lesbian, I might as well go straight to the top."

I loved how Max took Alex's purse when the landlord was being nosey and re-inforced how gay he was.

The fake baby shower scene was hilarious.

Brad: "A suit?! Why does a baby need a suit? What does he have a job? He's not fooling anyone, he's a baby!"

Sucks that next week is the season finale. I hope that Don't Trust the B**** in Apartment 23 can live up to the humor this show has set.

I really hope this gets renewed. It's been one of the best "Friends" shows in a long ass time.
