Adam Pally's Happy Endings gay
character Max coins the phrase “gaycist” on Wednesday night's
upcoming episode.
Pally isn't playing a stereotypical gay
guy on ABC's newest sitcom. Max is just one of the guys.
In
a sneak peak from tonight's episode, titled Of Mice &
Jazz-Kwon-Do, Brad tries to set Max up with a guy from his
office, and Max is seen accusing Brad of being a “gaycist.”
“You my friend are a gaycist,” Max
tells Brad, played by Damon Wayans Jr., as the pair play a video
game.
“What?” Brad responds.
“You think all gays are the same,”
Max answers.
“Play date suspended,” Max says as
he pauses the game, “on account of your gaycism!”
Happy Endings premiered on April
13 and the network has aired 5 episodes. But while it enjoys a
strong lead-in from comedy hits Modern Family and Cougar
Town, the show has struggled to find an audience.
According
to TV By The Numbers, ratings for Happy Endings increased
last week, putting the show in the “toss up” range for being
renewed by the network.
ABC will broadcast two new episodes of
Happy Endings starting at 10PM.
