Recap / Ellen S 1 E 2 The Anchor

Go To

Ellen tests her new call waiting system by telling the person on the line that she doesn't like her annoying friend Audrey. Unfortunately, the person on the other is Audrey herself. Holly experiments with tissues stuffed down her bra and gets a date.

Tropes:

  • Accidental Public Confession: Ellen admits she doesn't like her annoying friend Audrey. Unfortunately, Audrey is listening on the other line as Ellen speaks.
  • All Men Are Perverts: Lampshaded by Adam about Holly's date trying to touch her fake breasts.
  • Bittersweet Ending: Ellen and Audrey make up and become friends again but Audrey immediately irritates Ellen again with her talking and Holly's date breaks up with her before sex because he prefers her big breasts.
  • Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs: Ellen trying to avoid answering a phone call to Audrey: "Tell her I'm sleeping— I'm in the shower! I'm sleeping in the shower!"
  • Buxom Beauty Standard: Holly's date dumps her because he prefers her with big breasts.
  • Gilligan Cut: Holly to Ellen over the phone: "Let's go some place we can talk and have a beer without guys hitting on us every 5 minutes." Cut to Holly saying in the bar, "Do you realize we've been here for an hour and not one guy has hit on us?".
