Go To

After being fired by Mami Bibir, Prima tries to join another agency, only to find it significantly worse than Mami Bibir's. Meanwhile, Bambang, Alan, Pipin and Melani decides to sell food at an outdoor cinema.


This episode provides examples of:

  • Blatant Lies: Juna claiming that he used to search for gado-gado in England becomes this when he says that he did it in England's capital, Manchester United.
  • Continuity Nod: Carrying a megaphone reminds Alan of the time when he was a DVD selller early in the series, including when he first met Bambang (although he didn't bring a megaphone at that specific moment).
  • Distinction Without a Difference: A random insurance agent tells Prima that he is not confiding to Prima, just telling Prima what he felt.
  • Hypocritical Humor: Pipin insists that she is smart to Bambang, then immediately asks Melani what is a "popon" (popcorn).
  • Literal Metaphor: Mpok Meli tells Prima that he must be "tahan banting" if he wants a role in her agency, which Prima assumes mean he must be "resilient". Moments later, Prima finds out that he must literally "bear being slammed" since he is portraying a losing martial artist.
  • Pop-Cultural Osmosis Failure: When Alan comments that Juna acts like he is an Oscar winner, Pipin thinks Alan is talking about a guy named Oscar.
  • Repeat After Me: When training other extras, Juna commands them to repeat everything he say and do. The next thing Juna do is greeting Melani, which all the extras repeat. To make it worse, they repeat Juna's attempt to make them stop.
  • Shout-Out: Alan calls the couple who can't actually afford to buy his food "Crazy Poor Asians".

"Smart people often lose to lucky people. Lucky people often lose to handsome ones. People who are both handsome and lucky must be avoided by average people like us."
