Mighty Wingman

I was reminded of this Coors Light commercial (which I guess I've never posted, because it's older than my first blog entry), while watching an episode of Flight of the Conchords on HBO while I was making black sesame ice cream last night.

The episode involved a gender role-reversal, in which the two guys try to date two girls who work at a bakery. One of them (Jemaine) asks the other (Bret) to be the wingman, but while Bret has all the luck with the girls, Jemaine couldn't get either girl interested in him.

Bret's (eventual) date turns out to be very aggressive, behaving like what's typically described of guys--The other girl went along as her wingman. When it became clear that Bret didn't want to have sex with her after only two dates, she told him that she has to ship out for war in Iraq so that he'd have sex with her. She's done in five minutes, then falls asleep. When Bret encounters her again at the shop, she claims that they changed her schedule, and that she'd have to ship out the day after, then saying that they both used each other and dumps him. As Bret and Jemaine leave, she's seen high-fiving the other girls in the shop and mocking Bret.
