Q1: What episode of Broad City does the line come from?
The line is delivered in Season 2, Episode 9, titled "Coat Check," which originally aired on Comedy Central on March 11, 2015.
Q2: Why do people spell it "clerb" instead of "club"?
The spelling mimics Ilana Glazer's exaggerated vocal performance in the scene. She rounds her mouth and shifts the vowel sound into an odd, stylized drawl to emphasize her character's intoxication and forced bravado.
Q3: Did Ilana Glazer coin the phrase "we all fam"?
No. The term "fam" originated in African American Vernacular English (AAVE) as a shorthand for family or trusted inner circles decades before the show aired. Glazer's comedic contribution was the deliberate mispronunciation ("clerb") and the satire of clubgoers applying deep loyalty terms to total strangers.
