Parked

- Season 1

(2014)

Three fathers and their burnout buddy struggle to raise their children without spilling their beers.

The guys are all at the park already engaged in a competitive game of lawn darts. Bets and side bets are being made as they discuss their mornings and shoot the shit. Top of the agenda is a kid's birthday party they will be going to later in the day. Unfortunately Josh wasn't invited because he doesn't have a kid. Speaking of kids, Jesse realizes he has forgotten his kids at home, and leaves in a panic. Tim finally answers his wife's phone call and Davinder decides to head home to make cupcakes for the party.

Having forgotten his kids at home by hangover accident, Jesse races home, but boy is he out of shape. After a grueling 4-block hustle, he arrives back at his place only to be caught off guard by his ex's new boyfriend Peter, who has apparently come over to bring Jesse's son his asthma medicine. Immediately Peter calls Jesse's bluff and Jesse appeals to the 'bro' code and that Peter not tell his ex, Kim, about the huge mistake. Mild mannered Peter ends up extorting Jesse for $65 and promises not to tell Kim. Relieved, Jesse turns, only to find Kim already there. BUSTED!

Tim and his daughter arrive home from the park to discover his wife, Jenn, has called the IT guy from her school to fix Tim's computer. That would be great except Tim remembers that he forgot to erase the "home" movie he and Jenn made and so the couple must devise a plan to stop Freddie, the IT guy, from finding it. FEATURING YouTube superstar Freddie Wong as Freddie the IT Guy.

Back at home, Davinder sets about making his famous cupcakes, except as soon as he has his ingredients all lined up, his imagination takes over. The lights change and he breaks into a gangsta-fuelled rap attack about being a master baker in this hip-hop music video. His gangsta dad glory is shattered when his kid barfs into the mixing bowl. Immediately we drop back into reality. Guess he's going to have to get store bought.

Not one to let the simple fact that he doesn't have a kid prevent him from going to a kid's birthday, Josh decides to just "find" a kid. Simple. Except that when he approaches them, the kids take him for a creep and mace him in the face and kick him in the "boys".

Tim, Jesse and Davinder arrive with their kids at Derek's son, Ryder's, 5th birthday party. Derek's wife, Kerri, the worst kind of helicopter parent, has programmed a completely non-kid friendly afternoon. The party appears like it's going to be a bust, until Josh arrives with a Little Person and a keg of beer. Soon, the party is in high gear, complete with Jimmy Z arriving, dressed as Marilyn Monroe, to provide a little (inappropriate) birthday entertainment to young Ryder.
