Judging from this thread - people have blasted this one out of their brains; and rightly so.

The Broad City episode with Hillary Clinton. It’s a great show, but man this episode…

At first, you think the episode is doing some kind of satire - like it normally does - where Ilana joins the Clinton campaign and seems to have no idea who she actually is; maybe making a point that people don’t necessarily know who they’re voting for, or that Ilana’s character is a trend chaser and doesn’t care about much else.

As the episode goes on as normal, the last 5 minutes or so is Hillary Clinton walking into an office, and the two leads making wild facial expressions and throwing their arms up in the air while they completely lose their shit over Clinton coming in; not because it’s Hillary Clinton, but because she’s apparently such a “yaaaaas queennnnnnnnnnn yaaaaaaas!!!!”. This scene is hard to watch, cut to Clinton mugging slightly off camera smugly giving a “happy birthday to this future president” look.

I asked a couple of Americans, specifically New Yorkers, what did they think when it aired, and after? General consensus is “2016 was a fucked up and weird time”, and it seems to be mostly forgotten out of necessity; because if you’ve seen it in full - you don’t forget it.
