Created with a budget of $180, Free Lunch was an obsessive compulsive hobby / pain in our asses that took almost a year of devoting every spare moment of time to finish.
This show is based on the unfortunate, albeit entertaining period of two teens lives who's poor employment decisions have them stumbling blindly down the seedy and often terrifying back alley of the workaday world. Through pyramid schemes, back-page classifieds and bosses of highly questionable morals, they trekked questing for the holy grail of fuck-off slackerdom; A Free Lunch.
Best friends, still living unwanted in their parents' houses, Gabe and Pete's destructive relationship of blind leader and blinder follower exposes them to constant unfavorable situations and epic failures. From overdosing rabbits with male sexual enhancement drugs to removing science department body donation tattoos with Brillo pads, running on equal parts of self-assuredness and idiocy has honed their uncanny ability to make the worst of a bad situation.
For Gabe & Pete, it's about dreaming big and dreaming stupid, learning the hard way and then forgetting it immediately. Their tales of stupidity through this modern rite of passage are truly inspiring to all whose uncertainty about what to do with their lives led them to commit heinously stupid acts in the grand search for a seat at the continental breakfast of life.
