Ep 11. Valentine's Special

Studio C is a sketch comedy show featuring a cast of talented comedians who bring their quirky and irreverent sense of humor to a wide variety of topics. Season 9, Episode 11 is entitled "Valentine's Special" and features a collection of sketches that poke fun at the romantic holiday in all of its chocolatey, mushy glory.

The episode kicks off with a sketch entitled "Valentine's Rejection Hotline," which imagines a world where heartbroken singles can call in to get rejected in a variety of creative ways. From being told that their love is like a dumpster fire to being serenaded with a mournful ballad, the hotline has become an outlet for all of the bitter and rejected souls on Valentine's Day.

Next up is a sketch called "Awkward First Date," which sees a nervous couple trying to navigate the minefield of small talk, bad jokes, and uncomfortable silences that come with a first date. They both try to impress each other by making jokes that fall flat and revealing their most embarrassing secrets, but in the end, they both realize that they're just happy to have found someone who can tolerate their weirdness.

Another sketch, "Valentine's Woes," takes on the classic Hallmark-style romance by showing a hapless couple struggling to express their love in the most clichéd ways possible. They exchange heart-shaped boxes of chocolate, write each other love notes on pink paper, and even break out into song to declare their feelings, but it all feels forced and unnatural. In the end, they realize that the best way to express their love is just to be themselves, quirks and all.

Of course, no Valentine's Day special would be complete without a parody of "The Bachelor," and Studio C delivers with "The Bachelorette: Quarantine Edition." In this sketch, a group of single guys try to win the heart of a bachelorette who is quarantined in her own home due to a pandemic. The guys have to get creative with their romantic gestures, from sending virtual flowers to serenading her through the window, but in the end, it's the simplest gesture that wins her heart.

The episode also features some hilarious musical numbers, including "I Don't Need a Valentine," which celebrates the joys of being single on Valentine's Day, and "Love is in the Air," which turns the classic romantic ballad on its head by imagining a world where love really is a physical gas that can be inhaled.

Overall, Studio C's "Valentine's Special" is a hilarious and irreverent take on the holiday of love, offering up plenty of laughs for singles and couples alike. Whether you're happily coupled up or nursing a broken heart, this episode is sure to leave you with a smile on your face and a new appreciation for the absurdity of love.
