Recap / Crazy Ex-Girlfriend S2E6: "Who Needs Josh When You Have a Girl Group?"

---

Songs:

"Friendtopia" (sung by Rachel Bloom, Vella Lovell & Gabrielle Ruiz):

• Affectionate Parody: Of Spice Girls. Imitates "Spice up Your Life" and the catchphrase from "Wannabe" ("Zig-A-Zow") in particular.
• Friendship Song
• Matriarchy: An exaggeration of Spice Girls' Girl Power -concept.
• Poke the Poodle: The girl group menacingly sings about how, if a fancy sushi place won't let them in they will... go home and drink some rosé.
• Shout-Out: They mention the movie Hocus Pocus quite a bit in the song.

"Trent Is Getting Ready Song" (sung by Paul Welsh):

• Mood Whiplash: Trent accidentally cutting himself, though this instance is downplayed.
• Musicalis Interruptus: Trent stops getting ready when he accidentally cuts his back.
• Parody: Of "The Sexy Getting Ready Song" from Season One.

"Stuck in the Bathroom" (sung by Vella Lovell):

• Affectionate Parody: Of the R. Kelly epic Trapped in the Closet.

Tropes in the episode:

• Spear Counterpart: Once again, Trent is to Rebecca what Rebecca is to Josh. This time he's even indulging in similar antics she was during Season One, trying to infiltrate Josh's friend group and even getting his own reprise of "The Sexy Getting Ready Song".
