Go To

After noticing Bambang's current popularity, Prima tries to make him an actual celebrity. Alan realize he doesn't really have it in him to be a debt collector.


This episode provides examples of:

  • Blatant Lies: When Kai forces Alan to help him collect debts from Alan's own dormitory, Alan tries to hide from Pipin and claims he is a cat when he is spotted.
  • Call-Back: The painting video from episode 10 becomes relevant again. Just like in episode 14, the video has made Bambang viral in the internet.
  • Camera Abuse: Mami Bibir screaming Alan's name causes the camera lens to crack.
  • Celebrity Paradox: Alan remarks that Bang Kai is starting to look like Agung Hercules (Kai's actor).
  • Diet Episode: A good chunk of the episode is about Alan having to put on a diet because of Kai's order, facing temptation and teasing along the way. At the end, he decides that its not worth it; personality-wise, he is not cut out to be a debt collector anyway.
  • Not What It Looks Like: Prima complains to Mami Bibir about two people from their agency making out minutes before a take, then demonstrating it with Prima as the guy and Mami Bibir as the girl. Cue disgusted neighbors thinking Mami Bibir are making out with her young tenant.
  • Say My Name: Prima brings Mami Bibir to feed Alan instead of Pipin as Alan wants. Alan is shocked and hits Mami Bibir's mouth, causing Mami Bibir to scream in anger.
  • Two Lines, No Waiting: Alan has his debt-collecting subplot while Prima has his making Bambang a celebrity subplot. Both shares "debt" as a common theme.
