Similarly to how he tried to blackmail his old improv group into letting him back in by publishing falsehoods I'm are decided to use his power to run a smear campaign against the Peabodies, except this time, instead of blogging lies, he brought up billboards all over New York City claiming

that the Peabodies are stifling him. They don't say exactly how they're stifling him, just that they are and that they're ragged. We were with Amar as he checked Twitter to gauge how the billboards were being received. Ship, Oh shit, son, people leading this up? Son? Yeah, like a breaking and egg sewich a bit? No not?
