Dear Lana...
On My Honeymoon...
I’ve been binging some Awkward Black Girl on and off and yesterday watched the episode where Jay was starting to like White J and her best friend Cici was waiting for her to come to the Halloween party and counting on Issa/Jay. At the last minute Issa backs out on her bestfriend because she is enjoying the yt dude while trick or treating. Cici was so disappointed.
White J and Jay/Issa end up running into his hot ex and he can’t even recall Issa’s name (despite them having the same name ) because he is so enamored by his ex.
Of course in typical Issa fashion she suddenly is so sorry a few days later and is begging Cici for forgiveness with donuts and corney raps to get back in her good graces. Cici finally talks to her and they carry on.
around 03:37 mark
Then I was watching the one where they get a new supervisor when the crazy yt lady decides she wants to get her groove back and leave the company.
Cici is targeted by the new manager and offered a complete state transfer or to be demoted. Issa is obsessing over Fred’s WHACK ASS and white J and doesn’t even support her best friend but only calls when she wants to rant about these men. She doesn’t even remember that Cici teaches (that word is used lightly lol) hip hop dance class part time and interrupts her to whine. Never mind this girl just suffered a pay cut and demotion.
don’t know how to timestamp but around 08:50
It was so interesting seeing Issa portray Jay this way and now seeing how Issa’s character uses people on Insecure. I’m fuzzy on past seasons but know that Molly went all out to surprise Issa for her last birthday, but what has she ever done for Molly? I could just be forgetting though.
If y’all have watched or never watched ABG and want to I think it’s a fun discussion to have to compare the show. There could be a thread somewhere already because I do remember mentioning before how I liked that she had a black BFF on insecure instead of other like on ABG because it was able to capture our culture more... Especially the LA scene.
But anywho, what do y’all think? I just love both shows so much and have to watch ABG when I’m having withdrawals lol
