NOW: ‘Absolutely Fabulous’ Recap

They're baaaaaaack

Much has changed in the past twenty years but, lucky for us, not Edina Monsoon and Eurydice Colette Clytemnestra Dido Bathsheba Rabelais Patricia Cocteau Stone. Absolutely Fabulous returned with a brand new episode twenty years after it first premiered and did not disappoint. So let’s take a look at the five funniest moments from last night’s episode.

  • Saffy Is A Convict — Patsy and Eddy have never found a controlled substance they did not love and Mother has a remarkable talent for nicking anything she can get her hands on from her daughter’s house, so imagine our surprise to find that it is Saffy who is the first to serve some serious time behind bars. It seems Saf may have forged some passports, landing her in the slammer for two years. All worked out well in the end however, Saf was top dog in the clink and Eddy got to spend some time with Bryan Ferry and David Gilmour as part of their “kidz in priz” club.
  • Edina Speaks Danish — In addition to booze and shopping it seems that Eddy has developed a new addiction — watching the Danish show The Killing. In fact, Eddy is so in love with the program she has learned how to speak Danish. And by speak Danish we of course mean mumble oddly Danish sounds while bobbing her head around. So intense is this new love that Eddy even dreams of the show, offending star Sofie Gråbøl with her nonsense language of course.
  • Saffron Gets A Girlfriend — Saffy in all her do good glory makes the mistake of bringing home a former inmate, a former inmate who is owed over £50,000 by Patsy. So as collateral for this sum, which bought Patsy the “Chanel of drugs,” Saffy becomes the “wifey” to a 6-foot-tall drug dealer. It would be romantic were it not so rape-y.
  • Patsy Is Not 39  – It seems that Patsy has been lying to everyone about being 39-years-old, if you can believe that. In order to pay off her former drug dealer and save Saffy from life as a Sapphic housewife, Patsy is forced to claim her pension and, as a result, find her birth certificate. The age is never actually revealed but a poor government employee is forced to go VERY far back throigh public records to find just when Ms. Stone came into this world.
  • Bubbles Recaps The Royal Wedding — For anyone who missed the royal wedding the first time around we recommend they watch the marvelous Bubbles explain the whole thing in under two minutes. The big takeaway? Pippa has a large ass and wore no knickers as she sashayed down the aisle. We should all have an assistant this entertaining.
