Ok so am I the only person who got the obvious reference to "The Graduate" in the opening of episode 44?
Anyways Alex and Jeff, I feel ya on those out takes, it's pretty hard to mimic acting from a film with Dustin Hoffman.
I can see another skit were Dan acts like Mrs. Robinson in the bedroom sequence.
I just starting watching the show a few episodes ago - Love the great cultural reference.

PS- When I graduate college I'm definitely going to surprise my dad (who loves that film) by pulling him aside, and saying that infamous quote.

I've never seen The Graduate in it's entirety, but I do think the "plastics" scene is tremendously funny and that the guys did it justice with "podcasts". I've kinda been out of the loop for a few of the latest skits, but I just barely recognized this one. BTW, awesome pool, Steve.

Triple-word-score for the proper usage and spelling of the word "Allusion." Well done!

(I think it more than just an allusion to The Graduate, but...)

Yes, I knew what movie they were recreating. I was expecting Jeff to jump in the pool (like in the movie) :(

Don't think that was steve's house dude, does it look -anything- like the house we've already seen 43 times ??
