Who would have thought that a show about 5 guys in a fantasy football league could become the most consistently funny show on a stacked Thursday night. The League just gets funnier every week and this week was no different. In “High School Reunion” we got moments of hilarity from every character.
High School Reunion", as you may have guessed, is an episode that revolved around the gang's reunion. Each guy has a set of individual goals that they would like to accomplish at the event. Andre would like to prove to his classmates that he is not the loser that he once was, that he is an accomplished surgeon. Kevin makes that all but impossible when he spreads a rumor about Dre losing a testicle and having it replaced with a canine prosthetic. This means that Andre has to endure jokes like "How's Andre enjoying the reunion?" "Oh, he's having a BALL," all night long. Ruxin brings Sofia along in an attempt to shed his reputation as a chubby chaser (his nickname in school was The Herdsman). Pete is hunting for the worst person at the party. His plan is to create a trophy for the league's last place finisher and name it after this person, the anti-Shiva if you will. And Kevin is there pretty much just there to ridicule old classmates.
Even though he is a few years younger than his compatriots, Taco makes an appearance at the reunion as well. You see, Taco has recently coined the termed "vinegar strokes" which refers to the moments just before a man climaxes. (Because the dude's face looks like he just stuck his nose in a jar of vinegar). His goal is to create a Vinegar Strokes Symphony, which he will unveil at his own high school reunion and impress his classmates. He figures that there will be plenty of people hooking up at the event so it will be the perfect place to conduct some research. It turns out he is right. Sofia is so flattered by all of the attention Ruxin is (selfishly) showering her with that she agrees to sneak off and have sex with him. Taco follows him and is lucky enough to catch the vinegar strokes on tape with his cell phone camera. Taco is often the odd man out when it comes to the group, so he often feels shoehorned into the plot. This is certainly the case with "High School Reunion", but I felt like his material was strong enough to warrant his random appearances. And I know some people might find his musical numbers annoying at times, but I have loved them all so far. I'm sure I will get sick of them at some point, but I am not there yet
Martin Starr makes a guest appearance as Box of Frogs (because he looks like a frog, of course), a class mate that Pete absolutely despises and number one contender for last place trophy naming rights. Pete blames him for an incident in high school in which his mother's car was broken into at a party and used to have sex in. Well as it turns out, Box of Frogs is a really nice guy and offers Pete a too-good-to-be-true music industry job, which Pete promptly turns down by breaking Frog's car window and leaving behind a used condom. Pete and his buddies end up looking like the worst people at the party when Kevin reveals that he was the actually the one responsible for the damage done to the car. Kevin broke into the car to lose his virginity to Shiva and lost control of his legs during vinegar strokes and kicked out one of the windows. We also learn that Kevin screamed out Shiva’s full name while they were “finishing the deed” thus creating the original Shiva Blast.
QUICK HITS
“I see all the people from High School that I want to see, and I don’t even like that
“why don’t I just put, a Gumbel”
“Your prom date looked like Brian Dennhey with red hair”
“If we lined up all the girls you dates in high school, we could rush for 1000 yards in the NFL”
“Hey look its Quinceanera Barbie and Bar Mitzvah Ken”
"You may recognize her from a Ukrainian version of The Bachelorette."
“Can you turn Asain?”
“So the first Shiva blast was your Vinegar stroke?”
I rarely stopped laughing in this episode. I give it a 9 out of 10
