Ep 1. Humanity Is In An Awkward Stage

Humanity Is In An Awkward Stage, the first episode of the fourth season of Baroness Von Sketch Show, explores the weird and wonderful moments that come with being a human being. The cast members, who are all women, deliver quick sketches that range from absurd to painfully relatable.

The episode opens with a sketch about a woman who is angry at a man for stealing her DJ job. She confronts him, but he has no idea what she is talking about. Frustrated, she realizes that she had accidentally applied for a job as a janitor at the nightclub instead. This sketch sets the tone for the rest of the episode, which features characters struggling to navigate the complexities of the world around them.

In another sketch, a woman receives a text from her crush and becomes nervous about how to respond. As she types and deletes messages, her friends take over her phone and suggest increasingly terrible responses. This sketch hilariously captures the awkwardness of flirting in the digital age.

The show also tackles some more serious issues in this episode. One such sketch features a mother who has just learned that her son has come out as gay. Despite her initial discomfort, she tries to be supportive and accepting. But as she tries to talk to her son about his sexuality, she accidentally reveals some offensive stereotypes and reveals her own biases. This sketch is both funny and thought-provoking, offering a commentary on the need for education and empathy in this modern era.

Baroness Von Sketch Show does not shy away from bodily humor, and this episode is no exception. A sketch about a woman who tries to squeeze into a pair of yoga pants while her husband impatiently waits for her is both funny and gross. The scene is relatable to anyone who has struggled with tight clothing while holding up someone else's itineraries.

There is also a skit in this episode that throws light on the ridiculousness of fashion. In this scene, a woman goes into a clothing store and is overwhelmed by the saleswoman's enthusiasm. Despite her skepticism, the saleswoman convinces her to try on an outfit that is completely impractical and unflattering. This sketch is a commentary on the fashion industry and the way it encourages people to change who they are to fit into the latest trends.

The episode ends with a sketch about a woman who has a terrible day at work. She goes to a bar and orders her favorite drink, but the bartender insists on making her something new. Despite her protests, he mixes together a variety of drinks that are nothing like what she wanted. This sketch taps into the frustration of dealing with people who just don't listen.

Overall, Humanity Is In An Awkward Stage is a great introduction to the fourth season of Baroness Von Sketch Show. The cast delivers hilarious sketches that are both poignant and absurd. Whether it's poking fun at social norms or commenting on serious issues, this show never fails to entertain.
