==Biography==
===PILOT===
Clubbing starts off with Clay in school, he stares blankly at the camera as he goes through the motions of the school day, sitting in class, eating lunch alone, walking through the hallways but as he does this Rob keeps popping up to remind him that they are going somewhere after school. Rob seems to be very excited about the endeavor but Clay seems uninterested.
Clay gets home, throws his backpack on the ground and relaxes on the couch. He turns the tv on and begins to watch, but then Rob shows up at his front door to pick him up to go Clubbing! Clay opens the door and tells Rob he doesn't want to go but Clay's mom tells him he has to go, Clay closes the door and argues with her before storming out saying fine, he'll go.
The two get in Rob's dads car to go to the bus stop. When they arrive Rob's dad asks him to not get to many girls, Clay tries to make a joke about it but Rob's dad just stares at him so the two walk away shyly, Rob tries to assure Clay that his dad likes him.
The two get in line and Clay complains that he has to see these people 5 days a week already and doesn't want to see them more then he already has to, Rob asks Clay if he even ever goes anywhere except his house or school and Clay says that's intentional. Rob says that that's no way to live and he has to do something eventually, Clay looks at the bus cautiously and then starts complaining about why they have to pay Dickhead Weasel $50 to get on a bus to the "Club" when they could of just had Rob's dad drive them to the Community Center in the first place. Clay tries to go home but Rob stops him and reminds him that its part of the experience!
On the bus Rob starts talking about how they are going to get so many girls at the club but Clay tells him its just the Community Center and tells him that he is to much of a pushover since he will do anything someone asks in an attempt to appear as a "gentleman". As their talking about this Rob accidentally throws his glasses in the air where they land on two girls seat. The two girls overhear the conversation about how Rob will do anything for a girl and so they ask him to carry their jackets around for them, of course Rob agrees but Clay just says he's doing it again. Rob however says that Clay is just jealous that he got "two bitches", which causes Clay to have a interesting reaction.
The bus arrives at the Community Center which has a Club label stapled across the logo. Rob is still holding the jackets and is looking around for the girls, Clay says he should just leave them on the bus but Rob says that would be un gentlemanly, Clay looks around and sees Rob's "bitches" walking into the club so he runs after them. Rob tries to get Clay to help with carrying one the jackets but he says his hands aren't leaving his pockets until he gets home, right after saying that he takes his hands out of his pockets. The person ahead of them in the line walks up to the scary bouncer who tells him he can't wear trainers. The guy shakily says they are new trainers, so the bouncer promptly strangles the guy to death. Rob and Clay are obviously scared by this, they stare at the bouncer in fear but then the bouncer lets them in.
When the two walk in they look around at all the people and just awkwardly stand there not knowing what to do. Rob wants to go find the girls he was looking for but Clay wants to find somewhere quite to relax so they split up. Clay continues to stand there not knowing what to do until he anxiously notices there is a girl behind him. So builds up the courage and tries to say hi there but she can't hear him, so he tries to say it louder but she still can't hear him, he tries to say it again but she begins pointing at her ears and talking over him so he yells I CAN'T HEAR YOU! All the lights in the "club" turn on and everyone stares at him, the girls waves her fingers confused and just turns around, Clay's face turns red with embarrassment and he walks away.
Clay finds a lounge and is relieved to be able to relax but when he enters he finds it completely filled with people. He notices one empty seat across from someone, he decides to try and sit there but while walking he thinks about how he might look crazy walking straight towards the person, but he decides to sit down facing away from her anyways. He sits down and she says hi and asks why he's at the Club. Clay takes a deep breath and quickly turns confidently saying he didn't want to come but his mom made him come, he immediately puts his face in his palm and tries to say what a bitch right but it just makes the girl weirded out.
Clay walks away from her embarrassed thinking about how he will have to go to school with people knowing he said that now, but he is so distracted that he almost steps on a guys girlfriend who is a worm. Clay says sorry but then accidentally says "How does that work" out loud causing the guy to push Clay into the crowd, Clay becomes disoriented and anxious lost in the horde and begins panting heavily. But Clay is snapped out of it buy Cool Cat saying he wants to show Clay something, Clay sits down but says he's exhausted and doesn't really care what he has to show him, but Cool Cat tells him to relax and offers him "soda" to take the edge off. Clay is confused by the offer but Cool Cat peels back the label and reveals its actually beer. Clay freaks out and asks how he even got that in the "Club" since the security are so crazy. Two security guards watch them but instead of stopping them they instead take bets that Clay isn't gonna drink it.
Later Rob walks up to Clay who is not extremely drunk and is actually enjoying his time at the club now. Rob freaks out and grabs his face asking if he's drunk right now, Clay slurs his words and says its just a little something to take the edge off, Rob has had a bad day so he just pulls Clay out of the club and onto the outside street. Clay can barely stand and collapses onto the asphalt, just as this happens Rob's "bitches" get kicked out of the club. Rob excitedly runs over to them and tries to give the jackets back, but instead they say they are actually going to another club so they would love if Rob just followed them there and continued to carry their jackets for them. The two girls then begin the make jokes about how Rob will be their little made or their coat hanger. Clay has enough of this so he gets up and runs over the them and begins yelling at the girls, Clay and the girls continue to yell at each other as Rob sits between them but he blows up and yells at both of them to stop talking about the jackets and he slams one of the jackets into a puddle. The girls are shocked as Clay grabs the other jacket and throws it into the puddle as well. The girls are shocked that they threw such expensive jackets into the puddle, but they just walk away laughing. The two start walking home, Clay makes Rob promise to never tell his mom about how he was drinking and he jokingly gives Rob another bottle of beer, Rob tries to drink it but spits it every where and throws it away as Clay laughs from a distance.
