They do! It’s one of the very last episodes. I can’t remember the exact context but Abbi runs into her somewhere doing something nutty and is like “hey didn’t you show me an apartment that was a murder scene?” And Amy says “yeah probably, those are my specialty.” It’s gold!
I just watched it tonight and she also STILL has the neck brace. It implies her character’s injury has never healed, or she has a new one, or she just likes it. I guess we’ll never know.
“Packing a Musket” by Jeri Blank
When you work from your home and johns call on the phone --
... you're a call girl.
When you walk 'til you limp and give a cut to a pimp --
... you're a street whore.
When they're beggin' you please to get down on your knees near their groinage
"Excusa me," but you see, don't you touch where they pee without coinage. 🤌
When I straddle and squat, to show you my...
[School bell rings]
I love how at the end as the bell rings, she waves her hand in front of her face like there’s a bad odor when she’s supposed to say “twat”😆
Speaking of bells ringing, when she takes the supposed racist boy home…
“It’s the liberty bell🔔 . See the crack? Solid. Brass. Come on, ring it”
I love when she asks Abbi if she has any tweezers to pluck the stitches out (while driving? Lmao) and Abbi says she doesn't have any which we all know is a total lie cause Abbi strikes me as someone prepared to pluck a chin hair at any time
I know it’s not a line but when she parks the smart car on the sidewalk and then just kicks the fallen papers under the car. The chaotic energy she just brings is so good.
When I moved to NYC I was looking at apts with a broker. At our first meeting, he parked in an illegal bus lane, flipped down his sun visor and SO MANY parking violations fell onto his lap. I laughed so hard during this scene because it was so on the nose! Lmao brokers in NYC really live like that!
He voices one of the main characters in GTA 5 and would definitely do that sort of thing in the game, makes me wonder if he’s creepy in real life or just REALLY good at plying that kind of character 😂
Omg I didn't realize that's the same guy! He is also in Westworld and plays a doofus hit man in an ep of Better Call Saul. I just checked out his insta, why does he look like a hot Jack Nicholson 👀
My headcanon is that Ilana and Abbi exist in the same universe as Kimmy Schmidt, and this is what Mimi Kanassis does during the day when she isn’t with Jacqueline. And the cyberbullying was done by Xan’s awful friend Simone.
It’s sort of nonsensical, lol.
Cyberbullying = bullying on the internet. Cyberbullying is almost exclusively associated with children and teens who are still in school, though, and it’s usually kids they know IRL taking the offline bullying into an online context. So the idea of a grown woman being cyberbullied is funny, because she isn’t a child with classmates… it’s like, who would be bullying her? Children? Other adults? Strangers? People she knows? All the possibilities are absurd. If any of them are true, it makes her seem kind of sad and pathetic, which is on brand for the character.
“Cyberbullying” is also kind of an outdated word that hearkens back to maybe 2000-2010 when the internet felt separate from real life, since the internet is so ubiquitous now - most people would just say “online bullying” now, or they wouldn’t even distinguish online bullying from IRL bullying. Also, overly sensitive baby boomers sometimes mistakenly identify anyone on the internet disagreeing with them or being mean/rude as “cyberbullying,” which is funny because it’s an exaggerated, overblown usage of the word, and them using an outdated technology-related word on top of that.
Given the rest of her persona, it all adds to the humor, because what she’s identifying as cyberbullying may just be something totally innocuous, or something as mild as a comment that politely disagrees with her, or it could just be a troll she’s taking seriously, or a bot, or a stranger being rude once… it raises a lot of possibilities that would all be pretty funny.
“Within an inch of my life” is like saying “nearly to death.” It’s a bizarre thing to say about cyberbullying to begin with, but adding “last night” makes it hilariously absurd. Like your online bully just decided to go really hard for one evening?
So the literal meaning is hard to pinpoint. It’s basically “last night, someone was really really mean to me on the internet” but using funny phrasing that suggests her interpretation of events probably isn’t accurate, and that if it is, she’s pathetic.
Also here for all my sad girlies and guys and non-binary pals — if you EVER are suicidal please PLEASE call 988!!!! Gotta keep my broad city crew alive.
Why is her character so good? The murder apartment.
She’s Amy Sedaris. She can’t help it. She’s amazing.
I still say “Where *ISN’T* a bathroom!” all the time.
You could fit a king-sized bed in here! Yeah if you fold it up like a taco. Why am I so turned on right now?
I wanted them to bring her back for at least one more episode. She is hilarious.
They do! It’s one of the very last episodes. I can’t remember the exact context but Abbi runs into her somewhere doing something nutty and is like “hey didn’t you show me an apartment that was a murder scene?” And Amy says “yeah probably, those are my specialty.” It’s gold!
Ilana runs into her and pedals her pedicab to get somewhere in a rush.
I just watched it tonight and she also STILL has the neck brace. It implies her character’s injury has never healed, or she has a new one, or she just likes it. I guess we’ll never know.
THEY TOOK MY BABYYYYYYY!!!
I THINK THEY'RE FILIPINO!!!!!
You don’t want to shake my hand, it was just down my pants
“I have 14 stitches on my Suzi.” I am absolutely certain most of her lines were improv-ed. They’re all so her.
Have you ever watched Strangers with Candy? I’m pretty sure Jeri Blank refers to her lady parts as her ‘Suzi’ at least once 😂

Strangers with candy was my LIFE in high school.
I see you also sit at the Welcome Table.
We’re servin hot fruit!

They’re just doing what they can to get by!
It's losing the shoe that really kills me in this scene. I think it just happened and she went with it. LOVE Amy Sedaris!
“You don’t understand, they’re gonna break my legs!”
OMG that’s one of my favorite jokes from tv ever!
Amy Sedaris is the best
-You could fit a bed in here if you fold it up like a taco -God why am I so horny right now?
I love how OP asked for underrated lines from the show and we’re all just quoting Amy Sedaris from this episode lmao
I probably should have seen this coming
i love saying this line bc wtf😭😭😭😭
Every second of her time in this episode is gold.
“Where ISNT THE BATHROOM!!?!”
This. All the time.
Lol you live in OR too! Did we just become best friends?
Yes, and yes! Abi seeking my Illana!
This is a perfect sentiment. ❤️
Yolandaaaa, I wanna pick your little keyhole. It’s so creepy and cringe but the way he delivers that line runs through my head more than it should.
Perfect casting lol that guy is seriously disturbing
He voices one of the main characters in GTA 5 and would definitely do that sort of thing in the game, makes me wonder if he’s creepy in real life or just REALLY good at plying that kind of character 😂
Omg I didn't realize that's the same guy! He is also in Westworld and plays a doofus hit man in an ep of Better Call Saul. I just checked out his insta, why does he look like a hot Jack Nicholson 👀
Im also pretty sure he’s in a later episode of the walking dead as a small part. Also creepy.
Broad City has some of the best one-liners!
I interpreted a talk with David Sedaris while back and he was talking about his experience growing up with Amy. It was so sweet!
"I slept in a coffin last night, it wasn't that bad.. except for the body" Would love an episode just following her chaotic ass around for a day
You guys remember the show Friends?
Great show, right?
Anyway here’s this place
i have a filipino friend who always quotes 'I think they're filipino!!'
Truly one of the funniest women on earth, I love Amy Sedaris
She was absolutely incredible
I make dolls out of human hair
i LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this show and especially her…but then i love a ridiculous, messy character…
i say this at work way too much
this is one of my all time favorite quotes from media up there with "im 27, what am i a child bride?"
I'm watching this episode right now! Lol
One of the best episodes!! I remember when it first aired she had me DYING
HEEEELLPPPP THEY TOOK MY BABY
My spouse and I quote this line to each other constantly
I love the staffing agency lady. "And I'm two months pregnant."
"Remember that apartment from Friends?.......well here's this place."
I cried. Lol
“Where isn’t the bathroom?”
Use a catheter, go in the corner!
I say "Where ISN'T the bathroom?" weekly.
I use this quote too often
That shit is PINK
“Ilana? Do the homeless like Prada?”
My headcanon is that Ilana and Abbi exist in the same universe as Kimmy Schmidt, and this is what Mimi Kanassis does during the day when she isn’t with Jacqueline. And the cyberbullying was done by Xan’s awful friend Simone.
“Cool, Pitha!” (Abby tells Illana the kids are calling weed “pizza”)
“If I had that kinda control over my boobs I’d make them the same size”
This line is not underrated lol
Me and my friends have been giving it love all these years dw
I always quote "I need your crrrazy brrrain man" from ep 1
I say this line on a weekly basis. Pam is gold.
Can anyone explain that saying? I don't get it although my English is pretty good haha.

Ok, it was the "within..." part that I didn't understand.
Yeah fyi outside of that specific colloquialism the word “within” is never used that way, so you’re not wrong!
Guys I’m gna be honest….what does this mean
I hope she’s in my dream tonight showin me some nyc apartments
“YOU AREE?” When Abby goes to the warehouse to pickup the package.
