Nick Swardson's Pretend Time season 1 episode 5, titled "Relapse Into Refreshment," follows the hilarious antics of comedian Nick Swardson and his team as they create a series of outrageous sketches. The episode kicks off with "The Garry Gaga Show," where Nick plays a clueless talk show host interviewing his celebrity guest Garry Gaga, played by fellow comedian David Spade.

Next up is "Haunted House Hunters," a parody of the popular HGTV show where a couple is on the hunt for a new home, but the houses they visit are all haunted. This skit is both spooky and hilarious, as the couple becomes increasingly frightened with each new ghostly encounter.

In "Uncomfortable Moments with Nick," Swardson plays a cringeworthy advertisement executive who creates awkward advertising campaigns for his clients. This sketch is both cringe-worthy and absurd, as Nick's character comes up with increasingly ridiculous ads that would never actually sell anything.

The most notable sketch of the episode is "Smashmart," a parody of the popular retail store Walmart.

From deliberately smashing car windshields to breaking open bags of chips, the humor in this sketch is just as ridiculous as it is funny.

Another skit in the episode is "Back to School Shopping," a parody of the stressful experience of shopping for school supplies.

The humor in this skit is relatable to anyone who has ever been stressed out by back-to-school shopping.

The episode concludes with "The Legend of Young Chuck," a mockumentary about a young boy who is supposed to be some sort of local legend, but no one actually knows who he is or what he did. This skit is both eerie and hilarious, as Nick plays the narrator who is trying to piece together the legend of Young Chuck from interviews with various people in the town.

Overall, "Relapse Into Refreshment" is a hilarious episode of Nick Swardson's Pretend Time, full of ridiculous sketches and off-the-wall humor. Fans of the show are sure to love the outrageous antics of Nick and his team in this episode.
