Uprising!

The robot uprising begins exactly as you'd expect -- with murderous Roomba's vacuuming old ladies to death, hordes of driverless Priuses marauding the streets, and your bathroom scale cracking mean-ass jokes about your weight. Alright, maybe it's not exactly how you'd expect. But when the robots built to serve us start tea-bagging, dry-humping, and kill-shotting humanity out of existence -- gaming supernerd Bernie Meckler knows he alone holds the key to survival. Can Bernie and his super-slacker friends survive horrific murderbot onslaughts, Godzilla-sized Cranebots, AND living in a van with each other for an entire week?

This Show Will Get You High

"My name is Matt Besser, one of the founders of the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre and one of the creators of This Show Will Get You High. A year ago I approached the leaders of Comedy Central with the idea to create a sketch show so funny that it had the power to get the viewer high. I theorized that if we can get the kids high on sketch comedy, then they won’t have to be in the empty lots and the abandoned malls looking for real drugs like heroin, crack, and worst of all, marijuana."
