Happy Endingswas one of the funniest shows that aired last cycle. The short lived show had fresh writing similar to Friends with one major difference, they have ONE black friend, Damon Wayans Jr. aka Brad. The Brad character has a white wife on the show, innocuously named Jane. Brad, aka the Black friend, is a funny character who has solid black interests amidst the white friends that he keeps. The show has no problem pointing out that Brad is black and riffing on sometimes-uncomfortable situations that can create. In this episode, Brad lies to Max, the gay character, telling him they can't hang out because Brad has a networking meeting. When Max spots Brad at a bar hanging with the "brothers", Max is offended but really just wants to be a part of the group. Max confronts Brad in a very hilarious scene outside the bar. It is witty writing.
