The Last Man On Earth Season 1 Episode 5 Some Friggin' Fat Dude

In The Last Man On Earth season 1 episode 5, entitled "Some Friggin' Fat Dude," we find ourselves in Malibu, California in the year 2022. Phil Miller (played by Will Forte) continues to adjust to life as the lone survivor of a deadly virus that has wiped out the entire planet's population. As he struggles to find meaning in his new existence, he discovers that he is not truly alone.

In this episode, Phil decides to take advantage of his newfound freedom and have some fun by driving a steamroller through his old office building. Along the way, he meets a man named Todd (Mel Rodriguez), who introduces himself as the "last fat man on earth." Todd had been living alone in his home, surviving on junk food and soda with no one to judge him for his unhealthy habits.

Phil is excited to have finally found another person to talk with, but realizes that Todd's size and lack of physical stamina hinder their ability to do things together. Despite this setback, Phil invites Todd to join him for a game of tennis, and they quickly realize that they are equally inexperienced at the sport. Their attempts to learn how to play result in some hilarious hijinks, and they form a bond over their shared sense of isolation.

Meanwhile, Carol (Kristen Schaal), who Phil previously met in Tucson, Arizona, continues to travel across the country in search of other survivors. She finally makes it to Malibu, but her persistence in finding a mate based solely on their compatibility according to a brochure from a fertility clinic rubs Phil the wrong way.

As the episode progresses, Phil and Todd's bond deepens, and Phil begins to see Todd as a friend rather than just someone he has to deal with. However, their peaceful existence is threatened when a group of armed men approach their beachfront property. Phil and Todd are forced to make a tough decision in order to protect themselves and their declining way of life.

Overall, The Last Man On Earth season 1 episode 5 "Some Friggin' Fat Dude" is an enjoyable and comedic episode that further explores the themes of isolation and loneliness in a post-apocalyptic world. While Phil and Todd's bond may seem unlikely at first, their shared experiences and sense of humor make for entertaining television. The episode also sets up future conflicts and begs the question of whether or not other survivors will be friend or foe.
