Synopsis
The video is an ad for the titular service which connects couples with a desperate or lonely third person to go out with them as the "third wheel". To this end, it shows four groups of "satisfied customers":
- Dan (James) is a slovenly, immature bachelor who goes to a café with couple Peter (Graham) and Marie (Ash), whose strained relationship is somewhat soothed by the knowledge that it's better than settling for someone like him.
- Kathleen plays an unnamed woman who appears to have severe developmental issues (she still lives with her mother, lacks social inhibition, and writes Sesame Street slashfiction) who goes to the movies with a couple played by Beej and Heather, whose physical intimacy she attempts to insert herself into.
- Cameron and Paul play a gay couple joined by a woman (Juliana, Cam's real-life girlfriend) who "just wants to watch two boys making out."
- Alex plays a stereotypical "geeky virgin" who is matched with a couple (Jer and Tally) who "just want someone to watch." He appears to have very little knowledge of sex and is alarmed by what he sees.
Trivia
- This is Ash's first appearance in a weekly update since Terms of Friendship.
- This is one of Kathleen's and Heather's favorite sketches
