The setup

Bored waiters at a dead Ruth's Chris on Halloween night swap increasingly absurd boasts about the sex they are sure they will be great at, until it is clear none of them has any idea how it works.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

It is Halloween night and the steakhouse is empty, so a row of waiters and the host-stand worker Dorothy kill time by talking about the sex they plan to have. Each one invents a flashy nickname and acts out how legendary they will be, with theories that get stranger and more cartoonish, and they keep calling each other son. A customer asks to be seated farther away from the conversation. Pressed to explain how marriage actually works, the one married coworker refuses, offers to lend them a book, and is waved off as the rest decide it would be easier if she simply watched and told them when something looked like sex.

The funny people

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

Remind me not to work Halloween again.

I just wish I didn't like you guys so damn much.
