The premise
Here’s the bit.
In a boutique fitting area, three friends model new jeans while a bespectacled saleswoman names each style. What look like mom jeans turn out to be Aunt Sheila jeans, with a half-height zip and room to stash snacks; Karen squeezes into a pair so tight she can only strut, and a long, shapeless denim pair is sold as hiding the body entirely. When Janet admits her last pair just doesn't fit, the saleswoman explains they are the ex-husband jeans, which disappoint most people. Janet is crushed, and the group turns on Karen when she asks whether she can have them instead.

Say it with us
Highly quotable.
You can keep Kleenex, orange peels in there. Maybe a mint.
Those are the ex-husband jeans. Most people find them disappointing.
You put on slutty cousin jeans once, and everybody freaks out.
