At first I thought this Aleskey Vayner parody video was promoting Michael Cera’s new CBS web series “The Good Life.” Then I learned it was produced for the McSweeney's Presents: The World, Explained event, a benefit to support creative writing among youth. This just proves that my barely-legal crush is an even more talented actor than I had thought; the way he enunciates each word with such posh relevance -- much like the Vayner video -- is a brilliant forecast of what "The Good Life" will be.

Personally, I never found the Vayner video very funny because it was about a guy who REALLY wanted to be successful. Vayner actually thought that by putting his entire heart and career into a video portfolio, he would gain the respect of his colleagues and others would believe in his superiority. Since Cera’s self-aggrandizing antics are only for the sake of parody, I think it is not only funny, but genius. Knowing that Cera doesn’t actually believe his outrageous claims means that I can laugh as loud as I want and sleep soundly at night.

Moral of this story: Hurry up and get this web series out there, CBS! Mockumentaries are what Cera does best and if this new web series is even 1/nth as brilliant as this video or Cera in Arrested Development, I will be a very loyal fan.

Based on a popular comic strip, this new animated web series features Bradley and Marshall, two average guys pained by an average problem: what do you do when you have fallen into a relationship and love your gal for who she is on the inside... but want some serious arm candy?

As a female of the squishy variety, I was mildly pained by the “girls need to be skinny and pretty” theme of this short. But ultimately, I was won over by these two amicable shlubs who really don’t have a clue. I wish my hypothetical boyfriend would make me do things that required me to not only exercise, but also put down my computer and see the light of day.

"Girls and Sports" is written by Justin Borus and Andrew Feinstein. Best friends from Denver, the duo has been collaborating on "Girls & Sports" since they were both in college. Currently inking out episode two, the series is animated by Matt Wilson and the voices are done by stand-up comedian Matt Iseman, Kevin Delaney, and Katie Kreisler.

Galacticast is a weekly web series that claims to parody all the worlds of geek-dom. The show's creators and stars, Rudy Jahchan and Casey McKinnon, write, shoot, and edit this larger-then-life web series in their studio apartment. Using a green screen, a camera, and a couple of lights, the sci-fi comedy brings a Lucas-esque quality to the viral video scene.

After launching in May of 2006, Galacticast continues to gain recognition from the vlogosphere for its well-scripted episodes and use of basic effects programs to create a vivid fictional world. In the spirit of Galaxy Quest, the comedy series developed as a mash-up of sci-fi, fantasy, horror, comic book, and video-game references into sketch comedy spoofs.

This week’s episode references Superman and the Common People video “Zod Speaks from the Phantom Zone.” Some fans are calling this episode one of Galacticast’s best videos to date; with fellow podcasters (the Ray brothers and the Bui brothers) appearing as talking heads at the beginning of the episode, how could it not be?
