I just stumbled across this hilarious webseries, The Misadventures of an Awkward Black Girl. It's a clever take on the awkward situations of everyday life. She uses the word 'bitch' a lot to describe women, which I really don't like, but the show is funny and relatable. It has a bit of a Curb Your Enthusiasm/Seinfeld vibe.
The show is produced and directed by the star actress, Issa Rae, who describes her character as a "black Liz Lemon." In an interview with CNN she explains what motivated her to create the series,
“I didn’t see myself represented on screen, in television or film, and I love these shows like “Parks and Recreation,” “30 Rock,” just because they have this awkward humor,” Rae told CNN’s Fredrick Whitfield yesterday. “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “Seinfeld,” these shows represent my type of humor, and I thought it’d be funny to have a series based on this African-American girl who goes through everyday awkward situations.”
You can watch the totally unawkward interview at the source, where she describes how the show came together.
seriously the only problem you have with this video is its use of the word bitch because the word NIGGA was another word that annoyed me
ReplyDeletedont you think your selectivism (dont know if that's a word) is a bit warped
I don't think anything I think is warped. But yes I didn't like use of that word either. I still like this series though.
