Jake and Amir Season 1 Episode 115 Break a leg

Jake and Amir is a comedy web series developed by CollegeHumor and follows the work lives of two co-workers, Jake and Amir, who have very different personalities and work ethics. The show follows their daily lives, their work at their desk job at CollegeHumor, and their interactions with the people around them.

Season 1 Episode 115, titled "Break a Leg," is yet another hilarious episode in the series that showcases the dynamic between Jake and Amir. In this episode, Amir seems to be interested in pursuing his passion for acting and wants to take part in an upcoming production at CollegeHumor. However, when he's told that there are no more spots available, he comes up with a plan that's as ludicrous as it is predictable.

Jake, on the other hand, tries to be supportive of Amir’s dream and suggests that he should still audition for the part, even though the spots are filled up. Now, Amir is confident in his acting abilities and takes up this suggestion, but he doesn’t want to audition. Instead, he decides that he’ll use a very unique technique to land the role - he'll literally 'break a leg' as he believes this phrase brings good luck to actors.

Jake is hesitant about Amir's unconventional approach but eventually agrees to it. Amir then proceeds to live out his role of a clumsy character from the production and tries his best to get injured. He schemes to find ways to break his leg, including putting his leg on a skateboard and also jumping out of a window. Jake is left to watch in disbelief and just keeps trying to steer Amir towards safer decisions.

The episode's humor comes from Jake's futile attempts to help Amir get injured in the audition, and Amir's imaginative plans to get injured that never seem to work out. The duo struggles through their attempts causing several laughs with their failed planning and actions. Throughout the episode, Jake and Amir's dynamic reaches its high point. Jake tries his best to help Amir but knows exactly when to cut him off, which makes for some hilarious moments.

As the episode comes to a close, the duo comes to the realization that maybe Amir’s methods and techniques weren't the best, and that maybe he just needed to have some faith in himself and his ability to act. It’s actually a very short scene, but it leaves a memorable impact, and the episode concludes with Amir's dream not coming true, but still finding solace and excitement in the fact that he tried.

Overall, "Break a Leg" is a great example of the show's hilarious humor and the comedic timing of the duo's interactions. Even if the plot sounds ludicrous, the episode is entertaining, and the actors deliver their performances with enthusiasm and energy. The show's witty banter and quirky humor are well-presented, and the episode ends up being one of the highlights of the series. If you're a fan of witty and off-beat comedy shows that will make you laugh out loud, you should definitely give "Break a Leg" a watch.
