**Comedy Garbage** is an American slice of life drama black comedy web series created and produced by Nicolas ''russel'' AVO, it revolves around the misadventures of Jake and Jim Horner, idiotic and sadistic twins living in the unforgiving state of New Mexico. The pilot was released on August 24, 2022, coming packaged with the first season. Released exclusively on AVO's Youtube Channel russel, as he did other short films like The Potato Chip Shortage, his first ever project, the show is produced by AVO under the name of Sky Theory Studios, his own film studio founded in 2012.

The series has been received with generally positive reviews from internet users and critics alike, who praised the voice over dubs, the sketches, humor, and a generally lighthearted atmosphere.

## Premise

Set in Cliff Mountain, New Mexico, Comedy Garbage follows Jake Horner, a normal teen who happens to be a homicidal, but bizarrely normal gun dealer working for a criminal organization in New Mexico, he lives with his twin brother and roommate Jim, an insane, sadistic, and masochistic psychopath, whether it's sitting on the couch or murdering people, they generally talk about mundane stuff or destroying a house, or even leading a war around the entire city.

The show is apparently set in the same universe as the Potato Chip shortage, it deals with topics about murder, insanity, and crime, due to its dark humor-oriented atmosphere, it deals jokes that are usually panned or offensive.

## Production

In august of 2021, AVO commented that The Potato Chip Shortage was the *turning point* of his life, triggering his passion for filmmaking, he chose to produce a comedic mini-series intended for younger audiences, but he quickly got bored with the original script of the pilot, so he reworked it to make it more bizarre and insane, blethered with cursed humor and intentional earrape sound effects to make the viewer uncomfortable.

The pilot was announced on May of 2021, with initial failure to draw anticipation.

The final version of the pilot's screenplay was just one page long, AVO stated that he didn't want to make something big and psychological to begin his project, instead he made it something charming, small, and simple.

Production began on July of 2022 and wrapped on August of the same year, the finished pilot was released on YouTube on August 24, 2022, it was moderately successful and spawned inspiration for further episodes to the series, AVO ordered 11 more episodes for Season 1, with aired from September 3rd to October 28 with a dedicated Halloween Special.

After a month long hiatus, the 8th episode was released, as a funeral video to AVO's computer mouse, and followed by a game review of Hunt Down The Freeman, AVO announced that episode 10 is in pre-production and is projected to release in thanksgiving.

People asked why AVO chose New Mexico as it's setting, filmed in the suburban outskirts of San Diego, AVO chose this location because of it's ''dry and unforgiving'' atmosphere.

On December 4, 2022, the series was confirmed to be renewed for a second season, which will release on January 27 with monthly episodes over the course of one year.

## LGTBQ+ Representation

Being the first live-action web series to have an Asexual protagonist, this was considered a great addition to the series, Vega is asexual himself and when the idea of a charecter part of the LGTBQ community was suggested, he loved it, but instead of making the character homosexual or transgender, he saw the lack of asexual characters in any tv show or film, so he chose to make the first Asexual protagonist in a web series.

## Reception

The series has been met with generally positive reviews, who praised the story, charm, humor and action. Plenty of internet users regarded ''Lonely House'' as the greatest episode of the series as of 2022, with dozens of 10/10 ratings, the lowest rated episode was Meet the Jake with an average rating of 7.8/10. It is considered to be one the most underrated web series in North America.

## Schedule

Season 1 was never scheduled, it was uploaded whenever an episode was finished. Season 2 will fix this by releasing one episode every 1- 2 months, or as little to one every 2 weeks, depending on the production longevity.
