From the 2010s script vault: Isaac’s brother, Brody, visits and critiques the bros' lifestyles.
The Anti-Bro
Written by Jawanza Barial-Lumumba
NARRATOR
The scene opens at the bachelor pad of JEREMIAH, CARLOS, and ISAAC. As the TV politely blasts through the college-esque housing, causing the dilapidated walls to rattle at every blast and explosion generated by their war-based video game, JEREMIAH and CARLOS enthusiastically drink their PBRs. For these two, it’s about “Pabst-Thirty” on this Monday morning.
JEREMIAH
What time is it actually though?
CARLOS
10:30. Isaac should be back soon with his little step-bro… what’s his name again?
JEREMIAH
(the heftiest of sighs)
Brody, unfortunately.
CARLOS
Brody’s a pretty dope name.
NARRATOR
JEREMIAH shoots a judgy glance.
CARLOS
Chill, I mean, not dope, because it’s so… last year. Anywho, isn’t that their last name? Isaac Brody, so is he like, Brody Brody?
JEREMIAH
Nah man, for he has the broiest of bro-names in all the lands.
CARLOS
A broier name than Brody? The word BRO is literally hammered into their name.
JEREMIAH
It’s funny that you mention a hammer, because his middle name (pause) THOR.
NARRATOR
CARLOS briefly chokes on some Pabst, before catching his breath and slamming down his can.
CARLOS
Shut. Your. Brotiful. Face. THOR BRODY?!
JEREMIAH
Thaddeus. Thor. Brody.
CARLOS
And he goes by Brody?! Why? That’s the boringest part!!
JEREMIAH
He is (insanely dramatic pause, and then a deep voice) the Anti-Bro.
CARLOS
The what?
