Don’t Trust the B- in Apt 23 Spin-offs

The latest female comedy to hit the scene is ABC’s Don’t Trust the B– in Apt 23. A strange title, we know, but how else would you know it’s a show about women if it didn’t have the word girl or b*tch in it? Ah, Hollywood, saving women from themselves since 2012.

Truth is the show’s pretty dang funny in spite of its obvious plot hang-ups (like asking us to believe that the naive midwestern girl is willing to go on living with a crazy woman that makes her life miserable). Plus, who doesn’t love watching James Van Der Beek comically live out his days as a real-life Dawson meme?

So, in honor of the show, we thought we’d come up with other Apt 23 spinoffs we’d like to see:

Don’t Trust the Don Juan in Apartment 21

A midwestern boy with a heart of gold, Todd (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt), comes to the big city, Los Angeles, and unassumingly moves in with male gigolo George. As the show progresses, we find out that George is really George Clooney… from the year 1994! That’s right, Clooney, in an effort to screw every hot woman possible, builds a time machine that brings him to the year 2012. Sh*t gets real when 2042 Clooney comes to 2012 to kill 1994 Clooney before he populates the planet with Clooney babies. Caught in the middle of all this, Todd grows suspicious when he realizes what he’s experiencing is strangely similar to the plot of Looper.

Don’t Trust the Hive in Apartment 25

After getting a bad rap in The Hunger Games feature film, tracker jackers Aunt Bee and Heather Honey Wings try to live out a normal life in Miami, Florida, where they hope to never see another bow-and-arrows carrying b*tch again. (What the eff, Katniss? Tracker jackers are people, too! Sorta.) But, Bee and Heather have difficulty resisting the urge to sting and finally succumb to their natural instinct on Miami Beach, during a taping of Kim & Khloe Take Miami… Again! Unfortunately, Kim and Khloe succumb to the stings. But fortunately for Bee and Heather, they’re heralded as the nation’s greatest heroes.

Don’t Trust the D*cks in Apartment 26

Eight months into the future, completely dejected after their 2012 election fails, Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich, disguised as hipsters, move into a secret apartment in Portland, Oregon. Miserable, but unwilling to give up on their War on Women, they take in female roommate after female roommate with the secret goal of sabotaging their right to choose. They replace their birth control with Lifesavers, punch holes into their condom stash with needles, and post sonograms of unborn babies all over the refrigerator door. No woman is safe in apartment 26!

Don’t Trust Kevin in Apartment 27

Ever wonder why six degrees of Kevin Bacon exists? It’s because Bacon has made it his life mission to make sure every single person in Hollywood is connected to him. Why? Because Kevin Bacon wants to rule the world! Think about it: armed with Hollywood’s elite and actual bacon, what could stop him? Yes, that’s the plot of this show. Kevin Bacon plotting to take over the world with Tom Cruise and truckloads of bacon. That’s right, and you’d watch it, too.

    Also, Dont Trust the Shrew in Apartment 22. (insert picture of a shew here)

    It’s a show about a shrew that lives in the cupboard and annoyingly nibbles at the food in there, but only to cover up and distract whoever lives in the apartment from it’s highly dangerous and illegal science lab in the apartment walls. The devious shrew and his assistant, Pinky, are trying to take over the world! Oh wait. That kind of show might already exist.

    (I’m so sorry about this bad joke but i had to take a whack at it- even if it was a half assed one)
