Featured review
mind-blowing
Ben Schwartz is a gift to comedy, okay? Physicality, line delivery -- he's got the goods. Also, the man can SING. He is in no way re-inventing himself as Yasper, the dorky audio-visual expert who desperately wants to be a big-time pop star. Schwartz knows exactly how to play up the pathetic side of Yasper while also making him goofy and endearing without a trace of irony. He genuinely believes that this dream can happen for him. I mean, if it happened to Xavier, why not Yasper? On the episode, Yasper gets to be the hero of a shallow narrative in which he is deeply invested. Every song he sings is about how close he is to making his fantasy come true. Yasper is so obsessed with Xavier that it's even off-putting to Xavier. Xavier got big and left Yasper behind. Anyone else might hold a grudge, but Yasper just seems to want a favor -- a "blessing," which, coming from Xavier, could actually change his life completely. The thing is, Yasper is so single-minded that he doesn't pay attention to anything that doesn't affect him. Watch how everyone else acts in his version of events -- he misses so many details because he's in his own little world. When did all the other guests leave? Was Jennifer #2 among them, and why would she leave without telling Jennifer #1? Here's the thing -- The Afterparty is so funny, and it has so many throwaway jokes that it's hard to know which ones are actually throwaways and which ones will have major significance down the line. It's fun to speculate. And then there's Chelsea's flask with the red 'X' on it, found near Xavier's body! Uh-oh! Looks like Chelsea is now the prime suspect and next in line for questioning. What secrets will be revealed with her interview? Jon Lajoie, the man behind Yasper's musical numbers, is the invisible MVP of this episode. He's intrinsic to why everyone's having so much damn fun.
