I recently watched an episode of "The League", and thought that it portrayed a modern group of friends in a very comical and relatable way. The episode consisted of the usual group of friends, and what happened on a particular thanksgiving dinner. One of the guys' daughters was taking care of a class pet, a guinea pig, and it was upsetting her father, who thought it was staring at him at night. The guy who was hosting the thanksgiving dinner for his friends found out his sister was coming to visit, and all the other guys got excited because she was the one who taught them all their moves back in grade school. For some reason they talked about it in front of her brother, which I found quite awkward, but they did it anyway. Another one of the guys made up some lies in order to get his family to go visit relatives so he could have the house to himself enabling him to do dirty things. Then his father shows up, having done the same thing, but expecting his son to not be home so he could do the same dirty stuff at his sons house. It was another hilarious but very awkward encounter. The one character named Taco had a very expensive mushroom called a White Truffle, that his friend, the host of the dinner, was going to buy off him, until Taco set the price of the normally $800 mushroom at $3000, claiming thats how you make a smart investment. He didn't end up selling it, and left it in the same room that the guinea pig was in, and when the cage was accidentally opened, the rodent pet got out and ate the White Truffle. The turkey was currently being basted and the guinea pig crawled inside. When one of the women walked in and noticed the turkey hadnt been put in the over yet, she put it in, with the guinea pig inside. When they all ate the turkey, people started tasting White Truffle, and having previously realizing that the guinea pig had eaten the mushroom, they all began puking. I think the episode was funny, but also something that isn't too unrealistic, no matter how rediculous it was.
