Abbi and Ilana's adventures never go as planned and always lead down an unexpected and hilarious path. In this week's series-premiere episode of "Broad City," "What a Wonderful World," Ilana finds out about a secret, pop-up Lil Wayne concert, and she and Abbi hustle their way through New York City to scrape together enough money for tickets. No matter how creepy it gets, the girls keep their eyes on the prize.
