I got so excited with the wonderful episode of Ugly Betty last Thursday (3.06, Ugly Berry), I almost completely overlooked the equally wonderful Mode After Hours starring Becki Newton and Michael Urie. This “webisode” was entitled “Trapped”. It was as strange as it was funny.
Marc and Amanda get trapped in an elevator at Mode, and go into an air-headed panic. I love how they go from “we’re stuck in here” to “the entire human race is gone, but us.”
The conversation at the beginning about flavored, er,something, is intriguing. I also especially liked Marc’s dream about putting on Wilhelmina’s tiara and becoming Zac Efron.
I don’t know which is creepier, Amanda’s recurring subconscious girl-crush on Betty (even if I bought a Mandy girl fantasy, Betty just doesn’t seem to be her type), or the fact that Marc and Mandy actually started the process of “repopulating the earth”. However, when the elevator started back up, their mutual relief is hilarious.
Then, they see the security camera, and we get a little slapstick.
All in all, a great little diversion.
