This is what you're gonna get on the first 14 seconds to a 10 episode College Humor series entitled "Full Benefits", which is basically a satire on 2 office colleagaues, David & Sara who tries to lead a normal working relationship after a 1 night stand, but soon realises that it's easier said than done.

Just like it's POV series which i posted some time ago, they don't allow embedding, so just click on the links below to view the episodes in youtube.

Episode 1: Hook Up : The first morning at work after spending a night together is going to be difficult one for both David and Sara. So what's usually the "protocol" for these sort of things?...act normal, play it cool?...hmm..

Episode 2: Ditching Dan: To make things worsts, there's always a clueless friend in this sort of thing.

Episode 3: Cover Up: Eventually, someone's gonna want to know what they think of each other, or if they should take things seriously or rather the next level of a relationship. Too bad, David found out about it the hard way. Hahaha..the mutton chops reference in this episode was hilarious.

Episode 4: The Reveal: I guess this is probably the hardest thing that any couple has to do. That is to let it all out, full face confession to the whole world that you are both indeed seeing each other as a couple. What would be the friends' reaction be? Will things be any different after that?

Episode 5: The Party: At the beginning of any relationship, jealousy easily kicks in. You think that now that you're a couple, you've successfully crossed over to his/her personal boundaries and you should be treated extra special. And you tend to overeact when your partner gets extra friendly with other people. So that's when things get a bit tensed up due to jealousy. Yeah, so that's what this episode's about.

Episode 6: The Decision: What started as a casual 1 night stand has now blown out into a huge decision making process. "Yeah, but we wont know unless we try" -a well overused phrase in any relationship.

Episode 7: The Rumor: I guess the whole point of this episode is to show how rumors spread fast on new relationships. As we are all aware, at every exchange, the rumor always gets over-exaggerated. One interesting thing to note in this episode are the actions of the actors/actresses during the rumour exchange. Each action is co-related to the action of the next exchange. Example, on one exchange, you can see Amir knitting something and the next exhange, he was wearing a wool sweater.

Episode 8: Double Date: I hate double dates. The operative word here being -dates. I dont mind double-hanging out together. But NO to double-dates.

Episode 9: The Late Night: Dave and Sara gets into a tight spot when both of them, only just recently deciding to go on separate ways, was forced by their boss to stay late in office for work...and it doesnt help that the cleaning lady loves Kenny G hahaha

Episode 10: Dinner Party: Ah yes, the season finale. Hilarious moment: Joe's bear stories
