Synopsis:

Spoiler:
When Whitney (Whitney Cummings) and Alex (Chris D'Elia) go on a double date with Roxanne (Rhea Seehorn), Whitney is surprised to learn that Alex had a full life before he met her. In an effort to do more things together, they decide to play a friendly game of basketball, but things go awry and a sore loser emerges shocking the gang. Meanwhile, Lily (Zoe Lister-Jones) thinks that she will win Neal's (Maulik Pancholy) mother over by embracing his Indian heritage, but she takes it to a whole other level. Dan O'Brien also stars.

I think the only time I laughed was the line why Whitney didn't like eating Thai food - scatological humour in my book is always funny... no but really... who writes this show? LAME LAME LAME and the two leads, who actually finds them attractive? Whitney exudes the sexuality of a scarecrow and Chris D'Elia's head looks like a football with stubble.

I thought this one was pretty good, I liked Whitney's ridiculous posturing while playing basketball.

This episode completely turned me off to Whitney. Complete gross-out.

I don't see how some say they see a fluid character chemistry between the two. Complete cliche
subject material that can only be rivaled by HIMYM's plot content.

I laughed quite a bit at this one. This has become a regular Thursday night show for me.

I was somewhat attracted to Whitney's basketball acumen.

I thought this was the funniest episode yet. Comparing what I feel are similar types of shows, Whitney is much better then New Girl in my view.

Roxanne: "So unexpected! Like the first time I saw a monkey making an omelet."
