David Wain's online comedy series "Wainy Days" is now in its third season over at My Damn Channel, proving once again that time moves faster on The Interweb. The start of the third season maintains the level of absurdity I've come to expect from the show, and the looking-for-love premise remains intact, but I wasn't really bowled over by either episode. Don't get me wrong though, I still love the show so I'm going to keep watching.
While I was catching up on "Wainy Days", a promo for another My Damn Channel series caught my eye. "Horrible People" is a soap opera send-up created by and starring A.D. Miles ("Wainy Days", "Reno 911!", Wet Hot American Summer) as well as Kristen Schaal who you may know as Mel from "Flight of the Conchords". Mather Zickel anchors the show as the character Carter who is ridiculous and sinister in equal parts. I actually think "Mather Zickel" (his real name, I presume) is one of the most soap opera-sounding names I've heard in a long time. It's strangely satisfying to say "Mather Zickel" out loud.
Mather Zickel.
