Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer's Broad City returned for season two earlier tonight, and it brought Seth Rogen along for the dank, sweaty ride. And then Broad City date raped Seth Rogen. Well, specifically Jacobson's character date raped Seth Rogen, who, to be fair, started off by having consensual sex—until he succumbed to summertime heat stroke. (Sidebar: The Daily Mail doesn't seem to have a single story about heat stroke + sex, which is wild.)
1.
Rogen's character passed out and instead of stopping, Abbi used his incapacitated body to get off (off-screen). Later in the episode, Ilana, armed with the recent revelation of rape culture, chided Abbi for her behavior.
"So to clarify, you raped him?," Ilana asks.
"No, no. He passed out from the heat but he seriously wanted it," Abbi says.
"Ew. That is literally what they say."
"Yeah, but I really mean it."
"So do they. Dude, did you finish?"
"My god, I raped him."
It's worth noting that Ilana is wearing big-ass gold hoop earrings that have the word Latina written across the center while she does this. Who's your role model? Nobody.
If there's one thing this episode really, really gets, it's that New York in the summer is a gross and beautiful experience that you just have to roll with. Your hookup buddy needs to take a timeout to remove a swamp-ass prevention system (read: wadded-up tissues) from the crack of his ass before proceeding to lay pipe? By all means. Your hookup buddy needs assistance removing her jeans, which have fused, through the magic of city sweat and grime, to her thighs? Please help her. Sweat tastes sorta like salt, so consider this seasoning.
Yes, that's vile, but tell me I'm wrong.
Broad City is back—strap in.
