BWW Recap: Annie Just Wants To Be 'Friends' on This Week's MARRY ME!

Sadly, last week we didn't get a new episode of MARRY ME because some guy giving some special speech or something. Just kidding..as great as MARRY ME is, the President's State of the Union is slightly more important. Thankfully we get a new episode tonight and with the guest stars, I have a feeling it won't disappoint.

On last week's episode, fans got to see hilarious cameos by the wonderful Rob Riggle and Natasha Leggero. Dennah let the power go to her head once she started dating a police officer (Riggle) while the main couple argued after someone watched the very last episode of their favorite tv series The Moors. In the end, it turns out that Riggle and Leggero's characters are actually married, prompting Dennah to break up with the officer. Annie and Jake continue to act like they haven't seen the finale (even though both of them watched it separately) and end the episode watching together.

With Riggle and Leggero joining the cast last week, it seems that MARRY ME is on the role with hilarious cameos. This week we get Jerry O' Connell (WE ARE MEN, JERRY MAGUIRE), Steve Little (ADVENTURE TIME, EASTBOUND & DOWN) and Brandon Johnson (MONSTER'S UNIVERSITY, GET HIM TO THE GREEK), starring as "The Boyz" according to Casey Wilson's Twitter. Supposedly O'Connell plays an old friend of Jake's who doesn't like Annie too much and plots to break them up. Uh oh! I foresee hilarious hijinks!

The episode starts out with the gang eating at a restaurant that hasn't raised their prices in 10 years due to "all the murders." Sounds like a great establishment. In a terrible segue, Annie reminds everyone that she and Jake are getting married. She then asks Dennah and Kay to be her bridesmaids, which then prompts Jake to ask Gil to be his best man. The only problem is, he needs another groomsmen to even out the sides. Jake doesn't have any brothers or weird cousins so what is he going to?! Annie then reminds him about "The Boyz" some old friends of his. Sadly, they drifted apart, "like the continents. They used to be one big land mass called Pangea" Gil adds.

Annie confides that he's worry about Jake because he doesn't have other friends. Her dad tells her that's exactly what happens to straight men, they "neglect their friendships, and their skin and their bodies." Annie brings up her uncle who walks around the house in a Disneyland tracksuit.

Gil is on a mission to lose weight so he tells Dennah about his new shake diet that he's on. Dennah tries the shakes and really likes them, making it easier for Gil to convince her to sell the shakes. Clearly he had some ulterier motives.

Meanwhile, Annie surprises Jake by bringing "The Boyz" to town, cleverly played over Thin Lizzy's Boys Are Back In Town. Jake is amazed that she found them, but Annie assured him that it's amazing what you can do when you're not "shopping or trolling the yelp page of your highschool bully's landscaping business!" She then leaves to let "The Boyz" catch up, but it turns out that Jake and "The Boyz" don't like each other very much. He calls them all jerks, just like the bartender who claims a sangria isn't a legitimate drink. I'm on Jake's side...sangrias are awesome.

It seems that the bad blood stems from Jake blowing the group off when they went to Rainforest Cafe dressed up as loggers. I don't condone the destruction of nature, but that's absolutely hilarious. The writing on this show is so clever! Jake blew them off because when Annie and Jake broke up, they called her a hooker. But to their defence, they thought she was hooking! It turns out that they really didn't have a problem with Annie and they all make up. Jake then tries to hit the jukebox ala The Fonz, but it doesn't work. They all start drinking way into the night and next morning. Annie has to break up the party because she and Jake were supposed to go meet their photographer. They all make whip noises to poke fun at Jake for being whipped, which Annie says is true as she tries to make a whipping noise too, but comes out more like a party lazer. Oh silly Annie!

Annie then hangs out with the girls and one of her dads. Jake is at a "golf crawl" (basically a drinking game based around the rules of golf) with "The Boyz." Dennah tries to get everyone to buy some of her shakes but they all immediately know it's a pyramid scheme. Poor Dennah, especially because she bought 8 boxes of shakes. That's an "ass-ton" more shakes!

At one of the bars, it seems that "The Boyz" invited a girl who Jake used to hook up with. The motive behind this is that "The Boyz" don't like Annie because she's a "fun burglar." No! Who else is better than Annie? She's cute and quirky. How dare they! They tried giving her a second chance but all of her planning made them realize that she's the same as she was. They're worried that Annie is changing Jake into some lame. Total crossing of the line "Boyz!" Jake storms out of the bar and then we find out that Daniel (Little) is "lame" because he has to do stuff for his family.

Jake goes home and tells Annie that "The Boyz" hate her. She's so confused because she's "always making small talk with Daniel and never calls out Matthew for starring at [my] cleavage like it's the briefcase from Pulp Fiction!" Seriously, the references on this show are so great. Jake assures Annie that they are no longer friends because they are "jerks with a Z!"

Dennah goes over to Gil's apartment to yell at him for getting her involved in a pyramid scheme. He apologizes and tells her the only way he could get out of the pyramid is if he got someone else into it. All of his money is tied up with the shakes because he bought 60 boxes! Dennah takes control and demands that they go to the Shake Tech office and get their money back. They soon find out that their friend Libby (Crista Flanagan) is the regional director of Shake Tech. It seems that she's completely brainwashed. Gil tells her that he has so many shakes that he uses them to shampoo. Libby brings up their three new flavors and gets the both of them to buy even more shakes.

Back at the apartment, Jake is hanging out with his new crew - the mailman, the man who spots him at the gym and some random guy named Edgar. In my opinion, the whole plotline of "Ah I don't have any groomsmen, let me put together a totally random group of men I barely know" is a little worn. Annie knows he's trying to replace "The Boyz" so he goes to talk to them to get back on their good side.

Annie storms into the bar "The Boyz" are hanging at and demands to know what their problem with her is. They find it hard to believe that Annie knows Jake more than they do, and they all start a drinking game to see who really does know him the best. This is obviously going to get outrageous. Commence montage of crazy/hilarious questions and answers and lots and lots of drinking. Annie asks the final question of whether or not Jake would be supportive of one of his fellow Boys dating a girl that Jake didn't necessarily like. The answer is, yes he would. Therefore, "The Boyz" apologize and all is well after all their beefs have been squashed. Annie tries to make an intense exit but completely falls on her face due to how drunk she is.

The next morning as Annie is recovering from her hangover in the cutest pair of footie pajamas, Gil and Dennah come to tell everyone that they've fixed their shake problem. It seems they used Dennah's good looks to sell all of their shakes to men who are "long on cash, but short on brains." We soon find out the aforementioned men are, in fact, "The Boyz." Everyone's problems are solved and everyone is happy!
