Finally he can convince the crude Aida to accompany him to the business dinner. Since Nina changes her mind, however, she suddenly shows up at the business lunch and pretends to be Bully's wife. Visibly shocked by these "marital" circumstances, Nägle breaks off the meal. But because he hasn't had a change in bed for years, Bully has a unique opportunity. In order to save the financing through Nägle, Rick poses as a woman, which the Swabian visibly likes. | ||

Without Nina, Bully feels more and more lonely, especially because Rick is offered a role in a new Bollywood film and Aida now wants to move in with her boyfriend Daniel. Bully now decides to shoot the commercial, because otherwise the film "Buddy" would have to be stopped, which would mean a financial end to Bully's career. At the same time he sends Aida to convince Nina to get back together with Bully. Aida can't think of any arguments, so Bully instructs Aida to stop Nina instead so he can finish the commercial in time. In the end, Nina decides to get back together with Bully, but he is not allowed to make any films until Bully and Nina are at least five. Bully's fate means well with him, because Aida and Daniel are moving in with Bully and Rick has missed his plane, which means he is also moving back in with Bully. As a result, Bully and Nina are five, and Bully is allowed to turn again. | ||
reception
criticism
The series was very mixed by critics, but received mostly negative to devastating by viewers.
The online TV magazine Quotenmeter.de wrote about the pilot episode, that it was on the show to "no sitcom" because the figures designed differently and the "Plot structured differently" was. This would also be the reason why the program would not “ignite properly”, although “a local representative” of the sitcom would be “long overdue” in the German television landscape.
The review in a national German daily newspaper, however, is praiseworthy:
“Michael 'Bully' Herbig reveals new qualities in his sitcom 'Bully makes Buddy'. And ensures a density of points that is hardly known in this country. "
On the Moviepilot page, the series was rated with an overall rating of only 1.4 / 10 from 476 audience votes. On IMDb, the series received an overall rating of 3.1 / 10 with 186 audience votes.
