This episode is sort of based on the fourth episode of the
first series of the original series, where Charlotte humiliates Will at the
charity Blind Date. The US version is slightly different, with people bidding
for "slaves" who must work for them for a day. Will's plan to buy
Charlotte goes wrong when they decide to bid on a guy first to make it less
obvious that Will is just interested in Charlotte. Unfortunately, Will places
the only bid on a black student. If that wasn't bad enough, they then take him
to the country club that Simon's father is a member of. The attempts at
"not racist" humour completely fails. Oh look, there's a black man at
the country club, let's dress him up just like the staff who work there! Hahaha!
I said last week that the series plays like it was written by Mitt Romney and
that only rings more true this week. Imagine if Mitt Romney had written jokes
about a black guy coming to his country club. That's this episode, only even
more boring.
Other attempts at humour involve watching Jay get his penis
stuck in the nozzle of a Jacuzzi, Neil drinking lots of cocktails and Simon's
dad being very angry when he plays golf. Hilarious.
When it's not offensive or boring, it's just pointless.
0 out of 10.
