‘The Ben & Frenchie Show’ Synopsis
Ben and Frenchie are two students living normal lives. If your view of normal is heavy drinking, using drugs and mass amounts of profanity. Ben has a warped view of the World, and cannabis has made him so paranoid he questions everything. Ben is currently jobless, but makes a little money on the side selling pills. Frenchie is probably the smarter of the two, which in no way is a complement. Frenchie is also ‘between jobs’, and makes a little income from performing with his band. They live together in a house along with Simon, although nothing is known about Simon and he is never seen.
And here are some short (possible) Episode Plots:
Blow-Jobless
Ben loses his job at a local supermarket after knocking out a customer. Although he claims he swung for his manager after a heated argument. Frenchie breaks off his two week relationship with his girlfriend, after she constantly refuses to give him a blow job, which in turn leads to him also losing his job, because his girlfriend is the boss’s daughter. After discussing their financial problems they both realise they’ll have to let out the spare bedroom, which they’d planned on using for a music studio/study room/weed growing room/chill out room/entertainment room. This leads to many strange individuals wanting to rent the room. In the end they give it too Simon, as he says he can pay cash up-front every-month, and he keeps himself to himself so the two can live life just as they did before.
Paranoia, Police and Pills.
Some extremely potent weed happens to come into the possession of the boys, but there’s one draw back. Smoking too much of this skunk can leave you extremely paranoid. Both boys get too stoned and then the paranoia settles in. After hearing a police car drive passed outside, Ben becomes convinced that the police are going to raid the house for his pills. When the boys hear a knock at the door, they panic, and decide to down all of Ben’s pills, about 7 each. When it turns out it’s only a Jehovah witness, they realise that they’re in for a bad time. Both end up tripping out beyond belief.
What’s Your Age Again?
Ben awakes in bed next to a girl, but he has no memory of the previous night. He lets the girl sleep and talks to Frenchie on how to try and remember what happened the night before. Frenchie decides that Ben should go threw the girl’s purse on find out her name (again), then just blag everything else from their. Ben finds the girl’s ID, but discovers she is the sister of a friend of a friend, who is a bit on the crazy side and worse than that the girl is only 14. Ben starts to panic, her brother is either going to kill him or get the police involved. Ben tries to piece together the previous night and determine what happened. In the end the girl wakes up and clears everything up; Ben had been at the pub, then got invited to her brother’s party, she had walked Ben home after she found out he dealt pills, but Ben couldn’t find he pills so they got stoned instead which lead to them falling asleep. Although she had tried it on with Ben, but they couldn’t do anything – brewer’s droop; a blessing in disguise.
Zig Zag Zombies.
After a large smoking session, the boys have a massive case of the munchies. But when they go in search of food, they discover that Simon has emptied the fridge and cupboards of everything edible. He’s left a note stating he’ll replace everything by 7.00pm. But with no money and about 3 hours to wait for Simon to replace all the food the boys go on a massive hunt around all parts of the house (apart from Simon’s room), to see what they can discover.
A Positive LSD Story.
The boys are struggling to get hold of any weed or pills, but Frenchie manages to get his hands on some LSD at the pub. Now the boys aren’t too used to LSD, so after a while they both start to trip out slightly. The police raid the house looking for Simon – apparently he’s wanted for counterfeiting money. The boys convince each other that this is all a hallucination and none of this is really happening. Simon is arrested and taken away, but to Ben & Frenchie none of this is real. The next day, they dispute what really took place the day before. Both are scared of entering Simon’s room to find out if he really did get taken away by the police, this breaks House Rule #0 ‘Never, ever disturb Simon’. They soon find out it wasn’t all a trip and they also realise that all the money Simon has ever given them is counterfeit, this leads to a problem, because it’s worthless and they’ve been saving it up since Simon moved in, which means the boys have almost no money.
