Robot, Ninja & Gay Guy– a roommate comedy about, you guessed it—isn’t necessarily good, nor is it particularly bad—which is a fairly common thing among web series. It merely sits in the middle idling
and not doing anything particularly memorable or special, but certinately isn’t “bad” by any means. There’s a certain amount of promise here especially among the three actors, I feel, but not in this project. Perhaps you could do something that doesn’t come off like a Mad TV sketch.This is a revolving sketch show by two Cuban comedians. I like this. It’s sort of like a mainstream version of Tim & Eric, the sort of thing that you’d see on an airplane after a movie and before the airline edit of The Office or whatever. The two dudes responsible for this have a deal with a Telemundo-esque station and it shows, because it’s almost exactly like the Over The Top style Telemundo comedy you see on TV but can’t understand because you only took up to 10th grade Spanish. Regardless, it’s passable.
This web series deals with survival from zombies. The main dude does a pretty decent job of making the whole thing look like Mythbusters, while his buddy-pal-friend provides some light bro comedy. It actually works very well as a concept. Although it’s not something that personally I’d be into, I found myself watching all of the episodes and feeling like I’d learned something. The main guy definitely has a Nickelodeon matinee idol vibe about him which all the more makes me think that he should focus the show more on the ‘Mythbusters With Jokes’ angle because that works better. I like it. Not so bad.
A Choose-Your-Own-Adventure style show on YouTube? This works. This works fairly well. This could work better. I’ll spare you the details on what the show is about as I’d recommend you get a feel for it yourself – but for what the show lacks in production cost it makes up for in inventiveness. The great thing about watching these web shows is that you get a sense of what it must’ve been like 100 years ago in the movie industry – a hell of a lot of 10 minute shorts that don’t make sense – some rising above others – and occasionally someone doing something new. Well, this is something new done very well on such a low budget. I’d love to see this with a major league budget, and I applaud them for their originality.
