Release Date: February 13, 2011

Roger asks Stan to attend an acting class, but tempers flare when they audition for the same role, which Hayley believes is underlying sexual tension between the two. Meanwhile, Steve and his friends have their last slumber party as kids.


Tropes

  • Ambiguous Situation: Steve and his friends are joined by a black kid purported to be Ronnie, the fifth member of their group who moved away years earlier. He narrates that none of them could figure out who emailed him, or if he even was Ronnie and not some stranger who overheard them at the pizza parlor.
  • Bad "Bad Acting": Stan. When he plays a waiter, he says "water" in such a nervous tone that he ends up blowing his cover.
  • Butt-Monkey: Klaus gets thrown to the wall by Roger.
  • Epic Fail: Stan's acting is so bad that his attempt at asking if anyone wanted water, which simply amounted to him only saying "water" led to a massive shootout and multiple people dying.
  • Gone Horribly Right: Stan and Roger's kissing performance gets them arrested and charged with indecent exposure.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Bullock gives one to Stan for his bad performance.
    Bullock: What the hell were you thinking?! Improvising a line? There's a reason I never give you lines, Smith. You can't act!
  • Urine Trouble: Barry pees himself when his friends use the classic water in hand prank. He even pees himself when it's Toshi's turn.
