I'll be honest, the nerd characters provoked some mixed reactions from me. I freaking HATED them when I first saw GWH. They do become more tolerable on repeat viewings, and have some funny moments.
I don't want to sound like an ungrateful blowhard who takes offense to the show winking at it's fans, but if they were meant as a parody of us Frankie fans... then that's not something that would make me happy. I'm in love with Frankie, and could easily be considered a geek and/or nerd. But my personality is VERY DIFFERENT from that of Douglas and Adam.
Like I've said before, I'm shy and introverted. These guys were very bold and "forward", and openly trying to woo Frankie, which I'd be too scared to do. And their infatuation with Frankie didn't seem to be sincere at all; as if they were only interested in her, uh, "surface" traits. Anyone who's read my posts on this thread clearly knows that I think there's far more to Frankie than just her looks.
That said, Frankie's face at the very end of GWH when she "pets" and then shoves the nerds off-screen was just awesome. She has some of the best facial expressions ever.
And on a different GWH note, I still think Frankie comforting and boosting up Foul Larry's broken spirit at the end(right before the final scene with the nerds) was nothing short of sweet and adorable.
