![]() Seriously, we know that Evie is a successful movie producer, but where on earth did she get a bag of mushrooms that large?! It’s a fun sight gag that’s repeated moments later when we see Sackson holding a giant handful of mushrooms and asking if it’s enough for a first-time trip. ![]() The rest of the crew is happy to have Evie tag along because she’s brought enough psilocybin mushrooms to share … with the entire city of Malibu. However, when they try the line with Ron, he immediately shrugs it off and lets Evie stay anyway. Evie says she can pretend to be a consultant “analyzing paper-product cost flow,” which sounds borderline plausible and also something that could only exist in a society as entrenched in capitalism as ours. It’s ridiculous that she keeps showing up at various events that don’t involve her, and the show takes a beat to address that. (My favorite moment is when the guys get on the bus at the end, and one dude happily exclaims, “Maybe the Police will be there!”) It’s also pretty funny that the Party Down gang has chosen to take a communal trip on a day when cops surround them, but the crew keeps it together enough, so they don’t get caught.Īs the episode opens, everyone arrives, and Henry is there with Evie in tow. The episode plays with the very obvious wordplay of “Sting” and “the Police,” and it’s funny every time. ![]() As the episode unfolds, it’s revealed that the entire lūʻau is just a cover so cops can apprehend deadbeat dads with outstanding child-support payments. Dozens of lucky middle-age guys have won the chance to hang at a lūʻau (weird, but okay) before heading out to a VIP experience at a Sting concert. The gang arrives at the site to cater a lūʻau sponsored by a radio station. She engages in all sorts of shenanigans, including accidentally making a tray of finger food into a swastika pattern, breaking free of the confines of her work area to ask the gay married couple about her own sex life, and claiming that she’s in a “purple tube of consciousness.” This episode imagines a scenario where the entire Party Down staff is in that same tube of consciousness - and it goes better than you might think. In the season-one closer, “Stennheiser-Pong Wedding Reception,” Bobbie shows up to work high on mushrooms. And, because she’s Jennifer Coolidge, she delivered some of the most memorable lines in the show’s very quotable history. When Jane Lynch left the show partway through the first season to film her star-making role on Glee, Coolidge stepped in as Constance’s equally daffy roommate Bobbie St. Jennifer Coolidge was only on Party Down for two episodes.
