Yasper
"Yasper" is the third episode of the American murder mystery comedy television series The Afterparty. The episode was written by Jack Dolgen and directed by series creator Christopher Miller. It was released on Apple TV+ on January 28, 2022, alongside "Aniq" and "Brett".
The series follows the events that follow a high school reunion after-party ending in a murder, where everyone is a suspect, as Detective Danner interviews the various suspects present, having her tell them their "mind-movies" about the night in question and the events leading up to it. The episode follows Danner as she interviews amateur one-man ska band and AV repairman Yasper E.

The series premiere received positive reviews from critics, who praised Ben Schwartz's performance of "Two Shots" as well as Miller's directing, writing, editing, and cinematography as strong points, for which he was nominated for Best Directing in a Streaming Series, Comedy for the episode at the 2022 Hollywood Critics Association TV Awards.
