What Broad City’s Abbi And Ilana Taught Me About Friendship

in on 02/18/16 by Nikki 5 Comments

Oh to have a friendship like Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer from Broad City… they’re Tina and Amy part deux and they’re, as the kids would say… EVERYTHING.

Broad City twerked onto the small screen (after being a web series) and into our hearts in 2014 courtesy of Amy Pohler’s production company and Comedy Central. See, Amy and Tina bring us the best things.

Over the years Abbi and Ilana have taught us hard truths and friendship facts. With Season 3 of Broad City upon us, what better time then now to look back at all Abbi and Ilana have taught us about friendship:

Friendship Lessons from Broad City

Friend Love Is Forever

Whether the military decides to add females into the draft, Abbi and Ilana already know the golden rule: I would follow you into hell, brother! It might be a sick parent, or a house move or a sample sale in a shady warehouse, whatever it is, a real friend is by your side.

Friends Save Bed Bath and Beyond Coupons

We know that shit is like gold and never expires. If you don’t have a stack of these in your house somewhere, WHO ARE YOU?! Why are you not getting 20% off one item each time you go in there?

Friends Help Friends With Nightmare Jobs

Friends Know When Only The Good Wine Will Do


And that’s like every time for the record but especially on your birthday. Abbi busts out the good shit for Ilana’s birthday to celebrate the last great year of existence: 23. LOLZ forever. Kids.

Friends Save Friends

broad-city-shellfishWhether it’s the bar after 2AM or a seafood restaurant and you have a shellfish allergy, a good friend will drag your ass out when you’ve had too much. Or in Abbi’s case, put her gym job to work and dead carry Ilana outta there.

YASSS KWEEN – Friends Pass Down Their Knowledge


Whether it’s to your own flesh and blood, kids you babysit or younger pals, friends always pass on their knowledge. Don’t bottle up all that wisdom and which natural deodorant really doesn’t hide the funk, PASS IT ON and we’re all better. We are, truly better together.

Friends Don’t Let Friends Put Up With Misogyny

 In probably Broad City’s finest moment ever, Abbi and Ilana, when confronted with creeps on the street, give the best response ever to the dreaded “You’re so pretty you should smile more” comment. For anyone who lives in the city and encounters this often, you probably stood up and cheered *praise hands emoji* when they happened. Thank you Abbi and Ilana for giving us the perfect comeback.

Broad City airs on Comedy Central on Wednesday nights.
