“Porter Mayfarer, the fish monger?”

This episode serves as the hook for what the audience imagines will be much Mayfarer Family quirkiness and dysfunction to come.  And it’s short!  Which is great—so often, episodes of web series feel too long.

It’s a bare-bones-shot (read: low budget) series, which smartly uses music and titles to signal to the audience that this is indeed a comedy.  Tonally, there really aren’t any jokes; it’s more the situation that the characters find themselves in that yields comedic potential.

Without spoiling anything, Nick finds himself in a dilemma, which the audience pretty much sees coming (the title gives it away)—but despite that, sets up an awkward situation, which we only hope gets more awkward and darkly funny as the series progresses (in a way that Meet the Parents never has quite accomplished).

However, the first episode doesn’t yield enough to judge the series and where it’s going.  So I encourage those interested to watch on and make up your own minds!

Horror comedy indeed.

This episode of the tragically overlooked web series “Co-op of the Damned” takes on the cliche of the psycho killer who kills people who have sex – but what’s a psycho killer to do if his intended victim isn’t getting any?

That’s right, he takes matters into his own hands.

Disturbingly hilarious. Not quite as funny as the first one, but still awesome.

“How else are people supposed to know that I’m a Rodney Piper fan?”

The fellows go to a ‘Blue Party’ which, it turns out, is not a sex party. And apparently the most humiliating thing in the world is to take your top off at a party.

The first episode was way funnier. I suggest you skip this one and I’ll let you know when you can check back in.
