1st Aired in SA: 19 April 06
Rating: Fabulous

That Brooklyn accent is hysterical. I do confuse it with Boston’s Rob accent but I love how all the Brooklyn peeps talk their own lingo.
I love how the Fab 5 went with the whole hip-hop thing flow.
I loved Thom doing the running man in da sneaker slippers.
Philly’s art was amazing and that was done when he was at high school level!
Think this was the first time the straight guy has driven any of the Fab 5 around. That car was cool though.
I love how Carson finds a bowling ball and examines it and he’s like what is this? Then he drops it and is amazed!
I’ve said this before but the Fab 5 really do care about the straight guy and what they can do to help him and it really is touching. It warms my heart every time I see something like this. So, they even did up Philly’s car, the Britney Tube, which made him so happy and made Kyan happy when Philly used a metaphor about them fixing up his life.
Thom knows a lot about sport actually!
Carson should register trademark “Let’s make fashion happen!”
Kyan pulls out Crest Whitestrips Premium all the time; I sorta feel like I have to have them now.
Jai and Thom think the car is cute.
That song that went ‘super bon bon’ was used for an opening sequence of an episode of Homicide. Very distinctive.
I thought that measuring cup that Ted got for Philly was very clever because it had graduations at an angle for if you’re pouring, you can tell what the volume is.
Thom is so animated when he watches that screen in the loft. He was staring at the screen for quite awhile after the story had ended: Wonder what he was thinking, or not thinking?
I really think this is fascinating: that steam will help clear up a problematic complexion.
I love how in Ted’s Hip Tip he explains the going ons of “wine geeks” and for do the swirl, he says “don’t overdo it, you might stain your date.”
Philly was a really good shaver too! You know, the straight guys on this show are (mostly) really sweet guys.


Quotes:


Carson: “These backstore boys need to kick his backstreet ass.”

Thom (trying to figure out if Phil has done ‘something’ to the Britney cut-out to have made it sticky): “’Cause it sticks to the wall and I don’t see any tape.”

Ted (walking around holding a saw): “Anybody got any unnecessary limbs?”

The Co-Worker: “He does pay attention to his look: It’s just horrible.”

Philly: “You know it’s funny, ‘cause we were fixing the inside of my car and it was like we were fixing the inside of me.”
Kyan: “Did you just use a metaphor? Ohmigod, you used a metaphor!”

Thom: “We kept your TV. Only because it was so big I couldn’t get it out of the apartment.”

Ted: “This is a salad spinner…” (He flips the top open) “And it’s happy to see you.”

Kyan: “He just left all those beer bottles on the table.”
Carson: “And all the light on. Doesn’t he realize our fossil fuels are dwindling?”

Carson: “She’s either still in love or wants to play hide-the-salami later. One or the other. Discuss.”

Jai: “You guys, he’s Puerto Rican. It’s not a little surprise.”

The Ex: “Wow, a chrome refrigerator.”
Thom: “No. Stainless steel, people. Hello.”


Carson (about the name, Philly Rojas): “Sounds like a Mexican cheese stake.”

Ted: “Two words sum up his wardrobe: Hip and hop.”

Carson: “He dresses up like AJ from the Backstreet Boys to get into clubs for free and to get free drinks. And that’s how he met his second wife, Lori. One night in Las Vegas they staggered into a chapel and the next morning he woke up at the MGM Grand with a wedding band. Ohmigod, that is so Britney!” [Ironically, this guy is Britney crazy.]
Kyan: “Ode to Britney.”

Carson: “I think he’s been sitting at home having a pity party.”
Kyan: “We need to crash the pity party.”

Kyan (about Thom expecting food at Philly’s place): “Thom, you don’t need another Philly cheesecake.”

Philly (to Thom’s interrogation of why there are toys in the house and no kids): “Are the toys wrong?”

Ted [really good with a cape by the way]: “We should bring back the cape.”

Jai (to Carson): “Trust me, this is nothing. I found another closet.”

Jai and Carson dressed in Philly’s hip-hop outfits:
Jai: “Yo, wot’s up homes?”
Carson: “How you doing?”
Jai: “I’m doing good. I’m just saying we’ve made a mess homes.”

Jai (to Philly about his decked out car): “Are you a pimp?”

Thom (about a painting of a lady): “I feel like maybe we need to sign him up with a therapist.”
Thom (dressed in Philly’s clothes with his work name tag on): “My name is Phil Rojas and I’d like a promotion.”
Thom (holding a block of wood; to Carson dressed like a ninja): “You’re going to chop that in half? Ohmigod” (Thom rolls his eyes!)

Ted (to Carson who has offered up some stinky items to smell): “Thanks, trying to quit.”

Carson: “Ew, flesh-coloured underwear.”
Others: “Ew.”

Thom: “I’ve gotta get outta here. I can’t look at your drop ceilings for another second.”

Carson: “Let’s read about Britney.”

Carson: “Yo, wot up dog… Why are you Puerto Rican and I’m darker?”
Philly: “I dunno.”

Thom (shopping with Philly): “Ohmigod, look at all these sofas. Don’t you feel like you’re in therapy?”


Best Straight Guy Quote Ever:
Ted: “Do you get what we wanna do when we match a wine to food?”
Philly: “It’s like matching beer to the right sandwich.”


Thom (about getting rid of the drop ceiling): “And now it doesn’t look like you live in a supermarket.”

Kyan (in a Brooklyn accent): “It’s a beard trimmer!”
Philly: “Is that a hint?”

Ted: “I think we’ve got a little culture guy.”

Thom (leaving, in the car): “He was a real pleasure that little one.”
Philly (in the house, with a beer): “Oh, you guys.”

Kyan (so disappointed): “Clean the beers up, dude. Get the beers.”

Carson: “Did she say Dockers?! Is she smoking crack!!?”

Carson: “You might not want to tell your employer you’re a quitter.”

Philly: “Yous. You can dress the boy up but you can’t take the Brooklyn out of the boy… The Fab 5 gave me the kick in the ass…”

Thom: “He’s trying so hard… (loss for words)…it actually…(loss for words)…makes…
Carson: “It’s heart-warming.”
Thom: “It’s heart warming.”

Philly missed his employee review while he was with the boys:
Ted: “Oh no!”

Thom: “That place was a D.U.M.P., dump.”

Thom (about Lori’s passive “wow”): “She’s very articulate.”
Carson: “Just wow?”

Philly says he has a surprise:
Ted: “Is this a Jai trick?”
Jai: “No, it wasn’t me.”

Carson (Philly can’t open the wine): “Just when you thought they knew… It might splatter his couture… Put it between your legs.”
(Philly resorts to beers and the boys freak out.)
