The main character, who grew up in the Eastern Townships of Quebec, starts off by shocking you, and then slowly reeling you in, revealing his humanity through tales of his experiences with friends, work, love and life. We start with a self-reflective guy who’s never done any harm or evil. While chilling at home, he’s called out to the cottage with asshole friends. Hilarity ensues as they discuss strippers, prostitute logistics, and porn. This is not what he signed up for. Given no other option but a long walk home, he decides to get his act together. His plan: get a job and a girl.

Confused on how to approach his plan, Chabot’s Friend starts by trying to wrap his head around what women want. The only thing is, he does this by reading some women’s magazines. He ends up going from bank to bank looking for a bank teller who would want to have sex in an unexpected place. Thanks Cosmo!
