Plot: At school, Otto (Ross Lynch) is nursing a hangover and telling Pete (Charlie Tahan) about throwing up on the record executive at The Bank. Pete asks if Otto is going to be able to show his face at the club again, and Otto says of course, he'll be working on Saturday for his usual shift. Pete then notices two prom tickets sticking out of Otto's shirt pocket and is surprised to see that Otto is planning to go. Pete asks who he's going to ask, and Otto assures him that the Baron has someone on his radar. At The Bank, Ruby (Jenn Lyon) tells Otto to stop moping and listen to the music as Ian Dury (Justin Long) starts his set. Otto takes her advice and launches himself into the mosh pit.
In his car outside of the prom, Otto is getting a blowjob from Bible Becky (Beanie Feldstein). He comments that Becky is full of surprises. Becky says that just because she's a Christian doesn't mean she doesn't like sex. Otto jokes that the prom-goers will never forget the punk rocker and the pregnant zealot. They exit his car and walk into the dance as "Babe" plays by Styx. Otto groans.
One week later, Otto pulls up for work at The Bank and finds it closed, with For Lease signs plastered all over the front. Ruby calls out to Otto from the adult book store across the street. Inside the porn shop, Ruby tells Otto that the owner of The Bank called that morning and said the club was closed. She says that thankfully she knows the manager of the dirty book store and was hired on the spot, so she won't miss a payday. Ruby offers to get Otto a job a porn shop too, but he tells her he's going to leave town instead. Ruby leads Otto back to one of the video booths where they have sex. A customer tries to open the door, but Otto says the booth is taken.
On graduation day, Otto is packing up his car when Pete shows up to say his goodbyes. Pete is still surprised that Otto is skipping out on graduation. Otto says he has a job lined up working the boat house at a lodge in Canada and he has to be there tomorrow. Pete jokes that boat boy sounds like a shitty job. Otto tells Pete that female lodge staff outnumber the males four to one. Pete says it still sounds less fun than a career in rock and roll. Otto says that's a hopeless fantasy. The reality would be that he would spend the next decade playing shit hole clubs with three psycho dip shit band mates and never get out of Akron. Otto says he is relieved that won't be his fate, and he has learned a lot about fantasy vs. reality this year. The fantasy is the goddess Teri Workman, while the reality is a sexy, older punk angel and a pregnant religious nymphomaniac, and reality is pretty amazing. Otto gives Pete his final fart tape as something to remember him by. Otto drives off as Pete pops the fart tape into his Walkman and starts laughing almost immediately.
That night, Otto stands outside of Teri Workman's house in the bushes outside her window. He watches as Teri (Natalie Alyn Lind) begins to get ready for bed. Otto starts to get excited, that is until Teri pulls down her newly installed curtains. Otto comments to himself that the curtains are fittingly symbolic. Otto walks away from Teri's house, telling him self that Teri truly is a goddess, even if she does like Journey. Otto gets back into his car and blasts The Clash's "Death or Glory" as he speeds past the trailer park, where Uncle Elmo (Raymond J. Barry) is driving by on his lawn mower, and away from Akron.

I tried to like this series, I really did, but it never really worked for me. It wasn't my type of humor. I liked the premise, but disliked the execution.
