The premise

Here’s the bit.

A corporate climber is pressured by his coworkers to have an alcoholic drink for the very first time at a bar after work. Discovering he enjoys fruity, colorful cocktails with umbrellas and sparklers - drinks that "taste like candy" - he quickly spirals into alcoholism. Despite only drinking sweet "girl drinks" rather than traditional hard liquor, he develops a serious drinking problem that affects his work and life. The sketch takes a darkly comedic look at addiction, culminating with him losing his job and resorting to desperate measures to get his fix, including asking a kid to buy him a milkshake at the end (mirroring how minors ask adults to buy them alcohol).

Highly quotable.

Another Tahitian Tee Hee for my friend, and waitress, this time no giggling

I want a Chocolate Choo-Choo!

You're a girl-drink drunk! I can't help feeling responsible, but then I can't help not caring either. Now get out of here before you start throwing up... little fruity things!

Okay, but I'll tell you something. You're not the only Cardboard Packaging Company in town!

Yes we are, Dave.

Oh. Oh, well then...

I'm fine! I'm just looking for paper clips!

But I can 'splain

No, no 'splanation' necessary
