This episode stands out because it offers a sympathetic look at a celebrity while simultaneously skewering both the media and public’s participation in Britney’s public breakdown. After hearing that Britney is in town, the media descends. When the boys sneak into her hotel room to get a picture in order to get paid a lot of money, she attempts suicide — leaving her severely disfigured (pictured).
While "New Look" features the show’s brand of gratuitously funny storytelling, it also elevates their parody game with one the most biting critiques of the entertainment industry, the media, and the public’s fickle attitude towards celebrities.
