Shorts Review: Losing It with John Stamos featuring Wayne Brady

Gonzo asks ‘Whose Line is it Anyway?’ after the jump!

Spoilers Below

We’ve reached the end of the road for Losing It with John Stamos, friends. And the last episode (for now at least) featured Mr. Wayne Brady.

Like all the others (but simply unbelievable in this case) Wayne claimed to have been unlucky with the ladies, due to the fact that he was very much an introvert and a nerd. After hearing about a promiscuous girl in the neighborhood, Wayne, after being told to stay away from her, decided that this could be his big opportunity.

It’s worth mentioning that Wayne gave the viewers a little vocabulary lesson, after using the word “fas’” (an abbreviated version of “fast”) which UrbanDictionary.com describes as “An adolescent girl who acts much older than she is by dressing like a skank, dancing like a hoochie, or just being a general ho.” I’m pale.

Anyway, turned out the grandmas of both Wayne and the girl were friends and arranged for the kids to meet. And this wasn’t the last of ol’ Grandma, because when Wayne finally did the deed with the girl, it was right behind the couch on which the girl’s granny was currently sitting. That’s right, they relied on only a TV to distract Grandma from the sexual intercourse taking place not two feet behind her. Luckily, the act went on without a hitch, save for Gran-ma-ma calling for a Coca-Cola right before Wayne climaxed.

Not a bad story overall, and it was told quite well by Brady. The amount of cartoon use in this episode was liberal, and it added some funny imagery to his tale. There were definitely a couple laugh-out-loud moments (I especially enjoyed the Highlander reference and the closing lines) and the episode had a natural flow that kept my interest throughout its six-and-a-half minute runtime. The flow was also aided by the chemistry between guest and host.

In the end, it was a pleasant close to the season. The idea of stars telling John Stamos about losing their virginities worked pretty well, and the puppets and cartoons were a nice addition. Although this show hasn’t made me anything close to a devoted follower, I nevertheless look forward to the possibility of a second season, and a host of new guests. (Eh? See what I did there?)
