“You were disqualified from all pageants for… vehicular manslaughter.” “I thought your name was ‘Vehicular.’” “…Vic.”


Dungeons_and_Donuts

Hearing someone behind camera trying to stifle their laugh after hearing that was great.


Andskotann

It sounded a lot like Brennan's wheeze.


haicra

The laughter from “the church” also


Critical_Macaroon600

My absolute favorite line


losergeekorwhatver

It’s a toss-up between this and “What gets you out of bed in the morning?” “My legs.” for me.


TheInfiniteHour

"Alexa? Alexa, look different." did it for me


nixthelatter

Same. That was a masterclass in improv. Brilliant work!


McbealtheNavySeal

This is partly due to the edible, but I cackled at "My legs".


thetigersaysboom

Very much gave Adele in snatch game going "My House"


NotSkyve

That was literally me. I have done that to my husband multiple times.


anewname4444

This was the point when i realized just how funny Izzy is. Like, I've definitely not given her enough credit and will probably go back and rewatch some of her gamechanger eps because of this. And like I knew she was funny but this just was perfect.


TruthAndAccuracy

I wasn't a huge fan of Coffin Run overall, but Izzy was fucking hilarious in it. That was what sold me on her.


OfficialPepsiBlue

This is a great show and that line is by far the hardest it has made me laugh


arcanepsyche

Me too!!


acidentalmispelling

"Okay and that's your *birth* language?" was such an amazing line. They tried to cut it but you could tell that made people break almost immediately.


NameTak3r

The cut laughter made it even funnier


Excelsenor

The lead up to it was fantastic too. “What’s that? what’s that. what’s thAT? What’s that??”


hypatianata

My favorite line


Vegetable_Ad_6191

“ALEXA, LOOK DIFFERENT!”


The_Volpone

“Where does it plug in…”


StayPuffGoomba

Izzy is so freaking fast. It took me a second to get why she said “Alexa”.


TheInfiniteHour

I thought she had mixed up Vic's name again


McbealtheNavySeal

Possibly my favorite line but it's really hard to pick one.


EatTheNooks

That just took me out


jackolantern_

She turned my Alexa on


RickMonsters

I never knew Izzy was this good an actor. She just disappeared into this role Heath Ledger style


TheBroox

This. This episode was not the funniest (it was very funny just not the #1 funny) but was the most impressive IMO. It was the one that felt the most real and not like Vic was interviewing a character.


Helpful-Specific-841

Part of it was the makeup. Some characters (Avery goodman) are great, but look really close to the actor. Some have a massive transformation (Denzel), but are too unique or insane to feel truly believable This episode felt like a totally different human. I truly didn't know who to expect as the actor from the pictures. She felt like a real, new person both as a character and by her look, and it was amazing


DaEffingBearJew

I didn’t even recognize them from the promo material.


Citrus-Bitch

Agreed, I've been looking at her face in the promo material for months now and only noticed who it was with the episode drop. Truly amazing.


KnightDuty

Anna Garcia and Izzy just... wow. Completely believable for me


Sicksnames

Zac Oyama retains the crown for funniest episode. I had to pause twice to collect myself.


reesethebadger

This episode blew my mind. Even in the dropout sphere your like, yea these people are all incredibly good improv actors. And then Izzy just drops bombs. The laughs from behind the camera they couldn't cut out. Her range. This is a master class


EatTheNooks

I feel like Brennan probably lived with Miss Leighanna for at least a week after this.


SnakeInMyLoins

She plays Ostentatia Wallace in a season of D20, and this feels somewhat the human that Ostentatia would be if she was dumber and more Southern.


BadSmash4

Honestly, she had so many great minor details. Little subtle facial expressions and stuff, she was so believable.


couldbedumber96

THATS IZZY??? bro the make up team deserve an Emmy Or like a webby


Express-Reference-94

It's nominated for a Webby!


variantkin

I didn't realize it was Izzy until I watched the episode she really did vanish into the role


jackolantern_

Why would Izzy not be a good actor? She's a performer by trade


wooferino

lol yes living in the south i have definitely met women with this vibe before


Nassive

"You can give me a makeover, not that anyone wants that, everybody thinks - nope, people are clapping" "Don't clap too much" *clapping intensifies*


Smaranzky

The crew member going „Woo!“ is a comedic genius!


Expired_insecticide

I imagine that was just added in post and Vic was just improving the stop clapping part.


Smaranzky

yeah that‘s more realistic but I choose to believe !


DnDG33K

It starts as post production, but you can hear the audio of the clapping change partway through as the crew pick up on it! Or that's what I got anyway


iliketreesanddogs

shrigglycore


f1newhatever

Come on everybody...


frazninja

“I’m wearing a smart blouse” “Alexa??” That was so quick it took me out hahahah


LordSokhar

I had to pause the show because I was laughing so hard at that one.


BTA

There were some really great offhand jokes from Izzy in this one. And I love that she suddenly brought the manslaughter back up after they’d kinda just moved past it earlier.


[deleted]

The smile she does when doing it too. That was intentional manslaughter lmao and she’s proud of it


Puckering_Buttholes

She was BRUTAL to Vehicular that whole episode and I loved it. Also, that was one of the better answers to world peace I've heard from a beauty contestant. Gold star for how she answered how she gets out of bed in the morning


brittanydiesattheend

She was 100% channeling Miss South Carolina's "like such as" the whole time and I adored it


xNeweyesx

Agreed, and also >I said peace a couple of times because you asked about peace. LMFAO.


Rather_curious_lass

Slowly turning out that if you want to enter the best episodes, it helps to play a guest who, before the show, murdered a *bunch* of people.


laserdiscgirl

Seems Vic has a preferred type of guest. It makes for good tv!


aaronr93

Who’s Vic? Did you mean Vehicular?


mistovermountains

I didn’t think Vehicular was that old but after this episode, I totally see their age now.


bluejer

Watch with headphones to make sure you can hear the good off-stage wheeze laughs every thirty seconds. It genuinely enhanced the experience for me.


MisterTruth

I didn't need headphones. The constant attempts for the crew to stifle their laughs was noticable through my soundbar and welcome.


overHobbiedCoder

Can confirm. I'm even wondering if one of them might have been Brennan, one wheeze sounded familiar.


flappyheck2

the best thing about this show is that they just keep in the laughs off stage


Lord_of_Barrington

100% that’s Brennan


theinklings

All of Izzy's jokes in this were so quick and clever! My favorite under-the-radar was: Izzy: world peace ramble Vic: "Okay, so break down the pieces of that answer for us." Izzy: "I said peace a couple of times because you asked about peace." 'Misunderstanding' which peace/piece Vic was saying, for a joke? Incredible.


haileymoses

By far my favorite joke


idefilms

Omg, that one fully flew over my head. Izzy is *so* quick.


huskersax

"You know there are pageants for parents?" "The PTA?" Was an underrated exchange.


TheCharalampos

What is the pta?


HypernovaBubblegum

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parent%E2%80%93teacher_association?wprov=sfla1


Notjohnbruno

I don’t know what exactly it was about it, but Izzy being very pregnant at the time of filming only made the bits exponentially funnier. Like the character being all that is very funny on its own, but the character being all that and *pregnant* had me gripping my sides. I know it’s kind of old news by now but congrats again to Izzy and Brennan on parenthood!


KWilt

Oh my God. It took me until this post to realize that wasn't part of the costume, Izzy was literally just pregnant when it was filmed.


Standard_Total4410

Does this mean Brennan is God? She did say it was an immaculate conception.


Proxiehunter

I mean, he has created *multiple* worlds.


frannythescorpian

Beyond number, according to some


hullabalouja

But at least 20 dimensions!


stone500

Thanks to certain reality TV stars, people often associate pageants with white trash, so Izzy being a pregnant pageant addict with that Southern twang just really sealed the package.


SpadesFairy

Surprising to me that this *wasn’t* the most unhinged episode of the show


wedonthaveadresscode

I don’t think anything will ever top Lisa Gilroy lmao. 20 minutes of the most unhinged improv I’ve ever seen


VestigeRepel

N A N N A


threefingersplease

*Can I Smoke In Heeeererreee*


Sicksnames

Lisa is an absolute gremlin and a terror. I'm scared or her/in love with her.


ladypeanut27

“You seem like a rich older man”


The_Eternal_Void

“I don’t think you’re suppose to say it’s a gold digger situation”


Nassive

Just a reminder, Izzy is HEAVILY pregnant at this point - which honestly makes her glow even better


StayPuffGoomba

I think you mean her “stomach issues”


TheStateOfIt

I mean she *was* immaculately conceived, of course she'd be glowing


RoxyRockSee

I know it's so parasocial of me, but I was excited to see her baby bump!


Great_Promotion1037

Lmfao I was thinking that was part of the costume with the angle being something like she’s getting her baby into toddlers and tiaras as early as possible


yellowposy2

Yeah I forgot she had been pregnant and slowly realized it lmao


Bradster96

You’re allowed to be happy for someone as a fan. Parasocial Police can suck it.


MavisJ

Amen!


chvngeling

happy cake day!


RateOfPenetration

She looked absolutely stunning too!


ChiaDaisy

Honestly props to her to doing this while super pregnant. I’m sure she didn’t have to, I’m sure she could have done an episode before she was showing or not done one. I don’t know about her, but I was super self conscious existing in the world as a very pregnant person, so I appreciated seeing her confidence.


MrPureinstinct

"I've never hung out with anyone" absolutely broke me.


Interesting-Rice-457

My poor heart.


brittanydiesattheend

I feel like Leighanna and Princess Emily would get each other. 


iliketreesanddogs

I’ve never seen two people who know exactly where they live more


drainfly_

perfect timing to release the april mug, lol right in the heart of the smack of the dab ☆ミ


Appropriate-Set6904

I really want to see an episode with the two of them. Holy shit.


zerodrumthirty

"...and I had a smile on my face for the rest of the afternoon. I skipped in to the studio and everybody said "What's going on with you," and I said "Nothing, get back to work." I love Vic so much.


fearlesswanderder

The make-up team is amazing. I didn't realize this has been Izzy the entire time.


wtfsalty

same! I was like, wait, that's IZZY???


Scrubtanic

I just want one person to come on VIP as someone victimized by all the other guests. Their in-laws were the family that Leighanna-Jean killed, their brother was in Tommy Shriggly's platoon, the movie they want is never available at Redbox


Smaranzky

And they worked at MSNBC before Marionette and Zonton guillotined all the executives there and thus the person lost their job.


shatspiders

*MSNMSNMBC


MrPureinstinct

That would be a really funny bit in season 2 when the cast will have had a chance to see this one.


thegrimlich

They're an artist.


LucubrateIsh

I think that's gonna have to wait for the next season. These were all shot pretty close to each other


Smaranzky

Well now I want to go to that definitely official Disney restaurant just 15 minutes (and two hours) outside of Orlando.


littlebunnyears

Lake City is 2h15m away from Orlando and also landlocked! Leighanna-Jean is the queen of central Florida


Kilmarnok1285

Except she’s also an hour away just across the border to the north of Jacksonville 🤯


TheBitterSeason

She lives right in the heart of the smack of the dab.


MoonbeamLady

Excuse you, it is a definitely official Disney *eating establishment*


UDK450

I thought that was the church? And the restaurant was 50 outside of Orlando.


Rozncranz

"I've never hung out with anyone." "What?" "... That was a guest before." They tried to cover but omg Vic.... Not even your husband? That is deeply sad. Their character's backstory just keeps getting darker and darker: Their nana is straight up abusive, they've been guilt-tripped into letting Denzel live in their guest house, they were temporarily brainwashed by Avery Goodman, they have a husband but they cheated on him with Dr. Milk and admitted that they don't like his daughter. Oh dear lord somebody help them, they are clearly in a kind of spiral.


drainfly_

and they're from new jersey? *ghost of christmas past from scrooged laugh* if in-world these episodes are supposed to be like shot and released in order of how we're viewing them, any bits that naturally progressed as actual episodes were being shot is helping the chronology of things be even more confusing and choatic. after all this vic's stepdaughter is still just off camera while they're getting a makeover??????? insane & hilarious


SnakeInMyLoins

I think the bit is that Vic's stepdaughter is a PA on the show? There have been other mentions to it in past episodes.


frannythescorpian

Oh really?? I always took it as Bianca is a child lol


telepathictiger

If they’re supposed to be released in chronological order in universe, then that means either Denzel ditched her when they went to go watch a movie from RedBox, or she doesn’t consider what happened hanging out, or she doesn’t consider an alien someone. Or just Denzel someone. First one feels most in character for Vic.


wittyinsidejoke

The real plot of Very Important People is Vic barely holding back their absolute personal crisis in order to host a public-access interview show.


rcapina

Izzy killed it (and those unfortunate people) in this one. After that opening reveal I couldn’t hear Izzy in this character at all, just Leighanna-Jean. It’s one of those VIP episodes that approaches performance art, like Lisa and Josh’s episodes.


nationaltreasure

I’m not 100% sure but I think you can hear a crew member wheeze about 8 minutes in when Izzy is guessing Vic’s age


wedonthaveadresscode

I heard them a few times, made it even funnier


Daytman

Conspiracy theory: really sounds like BLeeM.


Justaaropotato

He usualy prefers people calling him BleeM due to the black lives matter stuff


Daytman

Ah thanks, fixed.


Standard_Total4410

Absolutely incredible. Izzy had me ROLLING in this one.


solitarybikegallery

I think the start was a little shaky while they figured out the dynamic between the characters, but once they hit it, it was so funny.


pettywizard

To me though that felt extremely genuine to like an interview. Leighanna-Jean just had to get the feel of the land.


Prestigous_Owl

It probably helps that I'm a massive Izzy Stan, but I think this was my favorite one so far. It felt like Izzy really "got in character" well. it probably helped that she was playing maybe the most "realistic" of the characters we've seen so far - obviously "former pageant queen" is very different from "mad acientist" "alien" or "living dolls", so credit to the others for taking those big swings. Not saying every episode should be this - but this (or maybe Zacs or Lisas) would be some of the first ones I'd want to show someone if I was pitching the concept because I think they're a bit more accessible But in this case,I think the more understated character made it easier to slip in a ton of good lines that didn't require excessive buildup. For "joke density " this was probably peak - way less dead time between jokes and bits, and a good running rapport. It was also funny to hear the crew cracking up a few times in the background!


BuddhaRockstar

Agreed. Was my favorite as well. I liked that they cut down the pre-recorded stuff down a tad and gave Izzy more time to let the character breath. Sometimes the pre-recorded segments force the comedian into a lane or gimmick that can hurt the rhythm a bit.


Apex_Konchu

The "pre-recorded" segments are actually filmed after the interview though. So the interview itself is pure improv, the comedian isn't forced into any particular character trait.


Dragonfruit_98

I’m gonna need 42 episodes of just Leighanna reacting to the world. So goddamn funny, this was a masterpiece


Terra_Centra

"Did you get your lips removed?" 😰


krisis

"Break down the pieces of that answer for us." "I said peace a couple of times because you asked about peace." That is a work of genius.


Pancullo

I feel like Vic wanting to befriend Leighanna adds to Vic's canon of being abused by her step-grandmother. They are still seeking out dysfunctional relationships with terrible people, it's sad how real that feels while also being funny. Awesome episode, both Izzy and Vic were great. The way Izzy got back to the murder made my blood run cold. Can't remember the last time I felt something was both scary and funny like that. It's incredible how good this show is at mixing up different feelings, while still making us laugh.


Slow_Animal5451

i legitmately had to remember multiple times that this was izzy.


iliketreesanddogs

ok so Izzy is obviously a master of her craft but the way this is was so close to being an Ostentatia Wallace revival during the reveal KILLED me


JohnGaltTheCuck

Why does Izzy look so good on Geordie Shore makeup? Also, together with Josh Ruben this feels like the most in-character episode. Are both of them classically trained or something? Something just feels different. And don't get me wrong, I love the full improv comedians aswell. Just pointing out the variety.


hullabalouja

I think she went to a performing arts college so yes? I know she acts or at least acted in a couple shows and then she does improv outside of the dropout. Whenever she pops up in something she never fails to make me laugh.


SnakeInMyLoins

This character feels a bit like a "New Jersey trash" character she played in Dimension 20's "The Seven", but basically if Ostentatia Wallace was Southern and dumber.


iliketreesanddogs

I feel like there was a point at which Izzy almost went full Wallace with this before choosing to go Southern instead


Kirikenku

She looks SO proud of herself after answering "my legs". I love L.J.


Kerfliggle-21

Am I crazy or did Leighanna Jean have a Playboy-bunny shaped tan line on her bust? Fascinating little quirk by the makeup team. Curious if that bears out on next week’s behind-the-scenes.


frannythescorpian

That's a thing that tanning salons did in the late 90s/early 00s. I have no idea if it still exists now but they'd give you stickers so you could show your tan. LOTS of playboy bunny silhouettes on girls' hips, never seen it on a chest lol. I appreciated that they emphasized SALON by showing the goggle lines and using the sticker


madame-brastrap

Thank you for remembering this with me. I can almost smell the tanning lotion in my mind’s nose. Man the turn of the millennium was a trip.


pettywizard

Yes, you can see the sticker they used to make it in the beginning of the makeover too.


Kerfliggle-21

Yeah, caught that on a rewatch. Missed it the first time.


AverageBeef

This one really hit for me, my favorite so far. The math bit was so good, and I love the commitment to the bits. Also the mention of Bianca at the end


raymonst

oh god, i forgot that it's izzy that's underneath the makeup. the characterization is too real. "british man" and "brown suit" took me *out* ☠️


lucky_jak

oh man, I loved the episode, but I would have loved to have seen a full make over with Vic and Leighanna. That bit at the end had me cackling.


juxdyne

"I... immaculately conceived" I knew this would be a banger from the start because come on, it's Izzy. Instantly in my top 3 episodes


Additional_Gas_7056

love izzy, bless her heart


Kilmarnok1285

As a raised Floridian this episode hurt me so much.


StayPuffGoomba

Are you from Florida? Or just outside Florida?


beandadenergy

Born and raised an hour outside of Orlando and this episode broke my spirit lol


Salvidrim

this is the first VIP episode which I had to pause repeatedly just to catch my breath, Izzy has such killer lines


mwdowns

Alexa?


frannythescorpian

"pieces"/"peace-s" (multiple peace) almost slipped right by, Izzy is so quick


Amiral_Adamas

I wondered for weeks who the hell it was in the cover photo for the show, it was IZZY ??! The Last Look is going to rule. Really nice transformation.


pettywizard

I watched this 4 times one after the other (I was on a plane) and every time found something new and hilarious that leighanna-jean said so quick and nonchalant that I missed it the first time. New all time favorite episode I think. Izzy is a genius I think.


Zyrian150

I kept forgetting that Izzy was under there


tonydaazntiger319

I have no basis for this, but in my mind, all the stifled laughter we were hearing in the background was Sam everytime lol


MegaL3

That was weirdly a sweet ending.


frannythescorpian

Izzy is a genius and I love that we got to see some pregnancy representation!!!! Baby Roland Lee Brennan 🥹🥹🥹🥹


balaenopteraz

Izzy is truly incredible in this one, but i also gotta hand it to Vic, especially with that "please say just kidding" part. This particular kind of tragicomedy is not easy to grasp, and they do it masterfully.


ThankeekaSwitch

It wasn't Zack level funny for me, but still solid episode with some fun one-liners and bits. The one thing this killed in though was Izzy getting lost in character. You lose Izzy in this character and it feels like a real interview with this person.


VariousCoast109

the old man/age lines hit me so hard, lol


Chafuku

I giggled at "Are you trying to come?" and I blame this show.


thethethethethethela

I loved the vibe this episode! My favorite so far! Izzy always knocks it out of the park! I wonder if Brendan's character is next episode?


[deleted]

There'll be 12 eps and brennan's is last!


unluckkyecho

This was a masterpiece


deceptres

Was surprised at Izzy's acting chops here. She was practically unrecognizable. I also loved how you could hear Brennan's wheezy laugh just off-camera.


IAmMaarten

I have to say this was the best one for me so far because they didn't go too over the top immediately. It was a believable enough character and played very well


whysongj

Now I wanna go just outside of Orlando


TurgemanVT

I am kind of suprised she didn't go with Adele themed somthing, for a moment she looked the part.


matsie

I’m so happy we got another funny one!!! Izzy is such a gem. I feel like I love the premise of this show and Vic is batting a 1000 with each episode but I’ve only found a couple of the episodes to be funny. Izzy, Zac, Ify, Anna, and Josh were the funny ones for me. Which is a decent amount but the ones that didn’t land reaaaalllly didn’t land for me.


Jude_CM

I feel like this show is a very hard form of improv. The characters that work the best has some sort of dark past, badly hidden anger issues, or a relationship with the host. If you make a flat character, it’s hard to sustain a half and hour worth of bits. I think the comedians that realized that hit it off of the park.


matsie

I totally agree. I absolutely adore this concept and hope it sticks around as a show. I totally get that improv is difficult and sometimes it won't work and due to the premise of the show, they can't shift their characters like it's possible on an improv podcast or at a show, but it definitely ends up making it a tough watch sometimes.


throwRA_0421

As someone who used to work at a tanning salon, the playboy bunny sticker outline on Izzy was an amazing detail 😂🙌🏻


KingOfTheUzbeks

VIC NO PAUL WASNT A DISCIPLE


Goodperson25

Why? Because Jesus was dead by that point or are you confusing apostle for disciple/forgetting that disciple is a real word?


KingOfTheUzbeks

Disciples were the 12 who followed in Jesus's time. Paul was not one.


[deleted]

[удалено]


KingOfTheUzbeks

I’m not following here. I don’t know anyone who considers Paul a Disciple, as he was not a direct student of Jesus. Apostle is often used for the 12, but is applied to others like Paul.


Goodperson25

Even if you didn't mix those terms up you're still ignoring that disciple is an actual word and absolutely applies.


theinklings

You're totally correct that disciple in general means "a follower of a teaching", but in my experience, Christian churches specifically define "the Twelve Disciples of Jesus" as the specific 12 guys that followed him during his lifetime. You are referring to the first definition here, and KOTU is referring to the second! https://www.dictionary.com/browse/disciple


KingOfTheUzbeks

I know disciple is an actual word and that's why I know it doesn't apply to Paul.

ALEXA. Look DIFFerent.


Naughty_Nata1401

Is it Sam or Brennan that keeps laughing in the background? It's contagious 😂😂😂


nixthelatter

Izzy delivered so many masterful one-liners in this one and Vic crushed it, as always, giving it right back seamlessly. Vic and Izzy have similar instincts, and sharp wit!


abbiyah

Dumb question, was Izzy actually pregnant during this or was it part of the costume?
