Friday Playlist – Jan 21, 2011

It’s a new Friday Night Playlist!

Dim the lights, kick your feet up, and forget all about the troubles of your week.

Total Running Time: 32 Minutes

We’re going to try to send these out Friday mornings, so that those of you following along via email subscription can have them waiting in your inbox for your evening enjoyment. Yeah, I know, we weren’t very good at putting them out Friday evening to begin with, but we’ll give it a try.

This weeks list is a little short, but fun. First up is a new show, The Variants, about a bunch of folk that work in a comic shop. It was the ending that really got me. I hope I’m not giving it away by saying I think they are going for a Tim and Dawn (from the U.K. Office) vibe.

Second is Bob and Andrew. Usually you have to get 4 or 5 swirlies to get on the Friday Night Playlist, but why have your own blog if you can’t do whatever it is you want? You’ll be seeing Bob and Andrew a lot on future Friday Night Playlists, and the list was rather short, so I figured it would be a good idea to put this one in. Despite it being not quite up to the previous two episodes, there’s still a few good jokes in there.

Oh – next is Co-Op of the Damned. One of the most tragically overlooked web series there is. This is one funny series, and this episode is no exception. And I think we have all lived with this guy, right?

And a new episode of Space Hospital. It seems like we’re into a lot of #3 episodes this week. Again, this one isn’t quite as funny as the first two, but still pretty awesome. Who doesn’t love a Jamie Summers reference? I love the way it gets those Star Trek-esque science cliches so damned perfect – lovingly paying homage to them while at the same time ripping them to shreds as only the wacky Space Hospital crew can.

And then we have a double barreled Untitled Fiction Project. I often try to end on a comedy, but nothing is going to follow that last scene – the look in her eyes will haunt me until the day I die.

Have a great Friday, a great time watching, and an awesome weekend.
