21 Moments From "The Afterparty" That Made Me Literally Laugh Out Loud
The finale of The Afterparty has now aired on Apple TV+, thus bringing down curtains on this comedy mystery series.
Warning: Spoilers ahead!
The story spans over a few hours of sleuthing that is being conducted to find out who offed the host of an afterparty after a high school reunion.
Leading the cast is Tiffany Haddish who plays the role of Detective Danner (who is interviewing the suspects despite being asked by her boss not to do so). There's a smorgasbord of characters who tell their own version of events, but their stories are told in the manner of different movie genres.
There were so many funny moments in the show where I burst out laughing. Here's a list of most of them:
1.In the beginning, when the guests of the party are sitting scared, disturbed, and choked up (because their host was murdered a few minutes ago), and Walt jumps up in glee that he has correctly guessed the Wi-Fi password.
2.When Detective Danner tries to make her entry in a stylish and authoritative manner but slips on some liquid on the floor.
3.When Chelsea is quite proud of her ability to mask drugs and make them taste nice.
4.When Danner shows great interest in how Aniq was going to kiss Zoë. She makes faces and confirms with Zoë if she has the right picture in her mind.
5.When Brett describes what Chelsea looked like in the party:
6.When someone urinates on Jennifer #1's head while she is on the balcony.
7.When Danner summarized Brett's antics of the evening.
8.The innocence with which this little girl asks a very bold question made me chuckle.
9.Some of the funniest stuff of the series happened in Chelsea's episode that was told like a psychological thriller. Here she is, describing her job:
10.One of the most funny moments of the show comes when Chelsea and Brett are arguing inside the photo booth and make weird faces whenever the camera flashes.
11.Danner's interaction with the old lady was quite fun:
12.If you read the texts on Chelsea's phone closely, you will see that the person sending the threats made a typo in the penultimate text (which they corrected by sending another text).
13.When Chelsea was trying to explain to Danner how her affair with Brett started and Danner had a different view of things:
14.When Xavier simply points out the futility of Chelsea's "diabolical" plan.
15.When even after literally attending a house party, Aniq couldn't figure out that the party venue was actually Walt's house.
16.When Jennifer #2 is quite mad at Chelsea for hooking up with Xavier on the very day she broke up with her boyfriend. But it turns out that Jennifer #1 is providing pretty good consolation to him.
17.When Danner watches the police procedural show in order to know more about a suspect in her flashback episode. (And what a stupid show it turns out to be.)
18.When it is revealed by Maggie that the fluid on which Danner had slipped on in Episode 2 was Jennifer #2's amniotic fluid.
19.One of the most funny moments of the show was when Brett and Xavier run into each other in the toilet and have a competition seeing who can pee longer and louder.
20.When Maggie puts on a blonde wig thinking that this will make her unrecognizable to her father.
21.And in the last moments of the show, when Danner is exiting Xavier's house after solving his murder, and she slips again at the same spot — but this time, she is disgusted as she knows what that is.
