"Sniff Sniff Gang Bang" is the eighth episode of the seventh season of the American comedy-drama television series Entourage. It is the 86th overall episode of the series and was written by series creator Doug Ellin and executive producer Ally Musika, and directed by David Nutter. It originally aired on HBO on August 22, 2010.
The series chronicles the acting career of Vincent Chase, a young A-list movie star, and his childhood friends from Queens, New York City, as they attempt to further their nascent careers in Los Angeles. In the episode, Vince is asked to take a drug test, which he refuses. Meanwhile, Ari faces consequences after the exposé, while Turtle tries to save his business.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 2.65 million household viewers and gained a 1.5/5 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received mixed reviews from critics, who questioned the logic behind Vince's actions in the episode.
Sasha Grey tells Vince (Adrian Grenier) that she is considering an offer to appear in a porn film, where she would have sex with five men. Vince does not like the idea and tells her to decline, but Sasha states she is not asking him permission. Carlos (Miguel Sandoval) questions Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) over his new plans for Avion Tequila, as they do not have enough resources to supply the demand, so Turtle sets out in finding investors.
After the Deadline Hollywood exposé, Ari (Jeremy Piven) decides to use a more calmed and healthy attitude at the agency, but none of his colleagues buy it. Ari faces pressure from Dana (Constance Zimmer) over Vince's attitude, and is also forced to attend marriage counseling with Melissa (Perrey Reeves). Melissa expresses frustration that Ari prioritizes his job over his family, and threatens with a separation if he does not improve. Billy (Rhys Coiro) informs Eric (Kevin Connolly) that Vince was caught using cocaine. Deducing that Scott (Scott Caan) is responsible, he angrily confronts him at his office and demands that he stop influencing Vince.
Yagoda (William Fichtner) tells Eric that Johnny's Bananas is well received by the network and are willing to go ahead with a new actor if Drama (Kevin Dillon) passes on the project. Eric is still insistent on having Drama involved, even if he is still unconvinced on the project. Visiting Ari, Turtle and Alex (Dania Ramirez) run into Mark Cuban and his business colleague Ken Austin (Bob Odenkirk). Cuban takes an interest in Avion Tequila, and offers them a chance to visit Sacramento to discuss a possible partnership, surprising Ari.
When he discovers that Randall Wallace wants a drug test, Vince personally visits Dana to assure them he is fine. While Dana stands by him, Wallace decides to quit the film. Frustrated, Eric confronts Vince over his actions, but Vince is unaffected by his words. Vince suggests it wasn't the first time he used cocaine and claims everything is fine. He also tells Eric to find a way to get Sasha a role in the film.
