Future ex-girlfriend is a sketch by Chris & Jack (the American sketch comedy duo).
One of the core sketches in the C&J canon, it features both blockbuster movie parody and complicated adult friendship. It's zero nominations at the Plerig Awards has been called one of the great tragedies of recent memory.
Description
Phil's girlfriend returns from the future where a lot has changed.
Summary
Hobby inventor Phil is visited by the future version of his girlfriend Jenna, who is there to make him finish an invention which will ensure mankind's survival against a future alien invasion. She is joined by her partner Gunner, which forces her to admit to Phil that they will shortly break up.
Connections
Phil, bummed about his break up, eventually checks into the Heartbreak Hotel. The communication cube Phil gets to stay in touch with Gunner and Jenna is pretty interesting. First of all since it lets them conduct a live conversation through time, second because it seems to also transmit visions directly into Phil's head. The cube also appears in Movies in space, where Travis uses it to play a video. That implies it functions as sort of a future telephone, with lots of fun features and probably a Tetris game somewhere in there. Considering that Phil is an inventor, he may actually have developed the cube's technology from the one Gunner give him, and thus we're probably looking at a Bootstrap Paradox: Phil designed the cube looking at the cube he designed.
Quotes
"When you say 'partner', do you mean partner-partner or... partner-partner?"
"You have the chance to save humanity and most of Europe!"
"Are you guys friends?" "Yeah!" "No!"
