'Broad City' Will Make You Wish Your Friends Didn't Suck So Much
Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer are the most envied pair on television. Why? Not only are they IRL best friends, but they're buddies who get to translate the relationship on their own fictional Comedy Central series, Broad City, which returns for season two tonight. Hell, their on-screen chemistry is enough to make you question your own BFF.
And we don't blame you. Just take a look at how your friendships compare to the girls of Broad City.
They've already answered the toughest question in a relationship: Who is Bey and who is Jay?

There's no one more important in your friend group than the one who's willing to stick around when shit hits the fan.
