Go90, With Help From Guest Stars Like Blake Griffin, Spoofs ‘30 For 30’

ESPN’s 30 for 30 has emerged as a documentary series of unparalleled quality; its films about sad, triumphant, and offbeat sports stories have allowed it to earn praise and pick up multiple awards. Like any great show, it is a ripe target for parody, and Go90 has capitalized on that opportunity. The mobile video platform is the home of The 5th Quarter, a comedy series that spoofs 30 for 30.

Anyone who has watched the hysterically funny HBO mockumentary Seven Days In Hell will know exactly the sort of comedy they should expect from The 5th Quarter. The Go90 series’ combination of absurd situations and deadpan delivery is an amusing one, and the first episode, which arrived on November 2nd, is a winner. It stars Blake Griffin

of the Los Angeles Clippers as Clif Cliff, a seven-year-old boy who leads a youth squad to glory before he is disqualified when it is discovered he is actually 32-years-old. It’s the Danny Almonte story, taken to a hilarious extreme, and the witty script is supported by cameos from several NBA stars, including Karl-Anthony Towns and Demarcus Cousins.

Between The 5th Quarter and Now We’re Talking, Go90 is building a library of enjoyable sports comedy. To watch new episodes of all the app’s shows, download it for your iOS or Android device.
