Patreon Unlock: Offices and Bosses S2E3: Mimic Roommate
In this Patreon-exclusive episode of *Offices and Bosses*, the crew returns to John Bastion's apartment after losing their former roommate, Marilyn Beef, to a ghostly affair. The new roommate, Jess—formerly trapped in a treasure chest and revealed as the mimic—joins the game with a surprisingly earnest enthusiasm, despite being an 'evil villain' in past episodes. The group takes on a catering job for Jesse Freeway’s daughter’s wedding, where their chaotic antics—ranging from a baby DJ crawling up Matthew Bernstein’s body to serve vegetarian hors d'oeuvres, to a pie-throwing frenzy triggered by a cummerbund slingshot—turn the event into a surreal, chaotic spectacle. Amid the absurdity, Matthew’s torso becomes the unexpected star, earning slow applause and a moment of collective awe. The episode culminates in a tense rent deadline, narrowly avoided through a magical port key, only to end with Arnie questioning the entire game’s purpose—leading to a meta-debate about the nature of the show itself. The episode is a masterclass in absurdist comedy, blending character-driven humor with layered satire of workplace culture, privilege, and performance.

“I'm a one-inch baby and my tuxedo is tight? Oh, in the groin. Yes, of course. In the groin. Lose everywhere else tight in the groin. Because of my 20-inch penis.”
The Pie War and the Cummerbund Slingshot
“That's what I think I see. And slow clapping begins until the entire room is slowly clapping. Matthew Bernstein's cummerbund. And they all shrug off their grudges and realize that while this wedding has been messy, it's been a lot of fun.”
“Well, that's a torso that can sell cummerbunds right there. That's what I'm seeing. And slow clapping begins until the entire room is slowly clapping. Matthew Bernstein's cummerbund. And they all shrug off their grudges and realize that while this wedding has been messy, it's been a lot of fun.”
