Shocking! Noone likes Dick Longpre at his company and really just put up with him. He really doesn’t make any important decisions, and is more concerned with how he looks in the fake WSJ. Wait, the fake WSJ? When he gets to the office, Richard is disgusted to find out that his company is not actually ran by him and as it turns out, its been like this for years! Richard, infuriated, decides to take more responsibility at the office to show he has worth and fails miserably by losing a big account. Turns out, he really is a fucking Dick.

Allen is made the laughing stock of the school AGAIN by asshole Joel.  Next day, Joel is out sick and as luck would have it Patrick is asked to bring over his homework. Of course, Allen intervenes and decides to do it himself. Back at school hes holding the fort down and even catches the eye of Joel’s gf  Bernique as she decides to break up with him. Joe’s friends like Allen better too and actually decide they don’t want Joel back! When Joel finds out, he wants to get back to school. But, when Joel wants to chill with his friends, they deny him, only for Allen Gregory to throw them all under the bus.

I don’t know I think this joke has run its course. I was really rooting for this show too, but the plots are becoming formulaic and I can’t stand Allen’s fascination with Joel, it just doesn’t make sense. And its good to know this show is acknowledging the fact that Rich is a douche. But, like father like son.
