I am watching Schitt’s Creek with my Prime subscription for the primary time, and boy, watching this present was lengthy overdue. Whereas different followers are watching different reveals that remind them of Dan and Eugene Levy’s comedy, I am having fun with it for the primary time and located a professional case of that really working to my benefit. The very first episode of this comedy has a joke about Diddy events, and the scene hits loads otherwise now than it did again then.
For these curious concerning the second, take a look at the pilot and go to the top of the episode. There, Alexis finds out that regardless of her boyfriend Stavros initially saying he was going to rescue her from the small city they have been pressured to maneuver to, he is breaking apart together with her as a substitute. That is for a Diddy-related occasion, and one which Alexis is probably going completely satisfied she did not attend in hindsight:
Stavros simply texted me, and he ended it. He is not coming! He stated that he does not have time to come back and get me as a result of he already RSVP’d to Diddy’s white occasion, and he does not have time to do each. However I used to be alleged to be his date to the white occasion!
Now, earlier than the theories pop up saying the Schitt’s Creek writing staff was attempting to warn the world about Diddy earlier than it occurred, let’s do not forget that the previous rapper’s events have been legendary in Hollywood. His white events particularly have been highly regarded, as he would do wild antics like present up with a duplicate of the Declaration of Independence.
Whereas I might think about the scene was initially written to showcase how Alexis was courting a shallow man who did not care about her, it has a very completely different really feel in 2025. With all of the horrid particulars surrounding Diddy’s events since his arrest, and all of the speak of child oil, it makes it sound like Stavros wasn’t an individual that Alexis ought to’ve been hanging out with within the first place.
Whereas I believe we would all fairly dwell in a world the place none of these alleged real-life crimes occurred, the way in which the scene performs out nonetheless works for Schitt’s Creek. As we be taught all through Season 1 and a couple of, Alexis has a behavior of getting herself into unhealthy conditions and has steadily required the assistance of her household to get out of a jam.
To not get too darkish, however let’s not overlook that Alexis was additionally on probation on the time she was alleged to attend the Diddy Get together. Had one thing occurred at that occasion and she or he was current and liable, it may have come again to hang-out her in courtroom. Thankfully, she was confined to trash pickup obligation in Schitt’s Creek, the place she finally met Mutt. Nonetheless, wild to assume this joke had much more relevance in 2025, as we await the decision for Diddy’s trial following closing remarks.
Schitt’s Creek is obtainable to stream without spending a dime with adverts on Prime Video, so what are you ready for? I am already midway by means of Season 2 after simply beginning a binge a few days in the past, so it is an important look ahead to anybody with out a number of time to decide to a collection.
