Season 1 utilizes an anthology structure that keeps the pacing tight. Each episode takes place at a different event—a high school reunion, a sweet sixteen, a porn awards after-party, and the infamous "Stennheiser-Pong Wedding Reception." This format allows the show to satirize different facets of Los Angeles culture, from the wealthy "philanthropists" who treat the staff like furniture to the desperate hangers-on trying to network with anyone holding a drink.
