“I will teach you many skills. And as well we offer a free computer consultation.”

Fun and funny in a WTF kind of way.

It starts with two commercials, and then goes into the “episode” itself, which largely consists of the guys getting beat up by their martial arts teacher, who steals the show.

This feels like a bunch of guys who are “the funny guys” in the office got together to make a series.

It could have used a little more in the way of Monster Hunting, like in the first episode. The production’s not that great (tip: don’t expect good sound if you’re shooting in a racquet ball court) but you know – there’s tons worse web series out there. At least this one has some laughs.

“I used to kill everything.  People taking a shit.”

Despite the 2 swirlies, this show is just good old fashion shoot ‘em up fun.  Nothing wrong with that!  Just don’t watch this expecting anything more.

Basically, the “Monster Hunters” are a team of deadly assassins laid off because of the bad economy, and now they’re guns for hire.  Their first gig?  Killing a guy that doesn’t even remotely look like Santa (except for the Christmas sweater and Santa hat).

I won’t spoil it for you, but that’s pretty much the whole episode.  Not a lot of story—but like I said before, shooting galore.

And you know what?  The low budget gun fighting actually kind of works, because nobody here is taking themselves too seriously (least of all, the filmmakers).  That’s probably the key to good parody—and this one makes the most of making fun of the action genre– complete with title cards for the ridiculous assassins.

I didn’t find myself laughing out loud, but it was amusing in an over-the-top way.  It’s one of those videos that you watch simply to be entertained without any greater expectations.

Hey, the show definitely lives up to its premise!
