How I have managed to miss this little internet oddity for several months I have no idea. The premise is explained very simply on their Facebook Fan Page:
"What happens when a gay guy needs new roommates and the only ones who respond to the Craigslist ad are a robot and a ninja? This..."
It's so geeky silly I just love it. Yes, I know it's not a cartoon, but it's about as cartoony as live action gets. And episode 5 takes place in a comic book store!
The guys behind this have their own youtube channel with other regular video comedy postings, including a series called (and how I missed this is even more bizarre) Two Hot Guys in A Shower. Doesn't work as well for me. But what interests me is the way creativity and content continue to be democratized (though of course, the goal, you can be sure, for these guys is to "discovered" and make it big. So they can get their 8 million dollars a movie.
The fan page says that there are new episodes the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of every month. Since they started in August and we're in October, they aren't keeping to schedule otherwise there would be more than 5 episodes at this point. But I'm not arguing.
...to be fair we kept to schedule through November... :-)
I'm so thrilled you wrote this about us! And you quoted a "2 Hot Guys" episode!!
We're hard at work trying to wrap up season one of "Robot, Ninja & Gay Guy" and really hoping for a Streamy Award Nomination! Stay tuned, and thank you SO much for your support.

Hey, there! I'm the head writer of "RNGG" and it absolutely rocks my socks that you found us and were actually moved to write a review. So damn cool.
Hopefully you've continued to enjoy the episodes past episode five, and even more hopefully you will enjoy the final four of the season once we get them shot and edited and posted.
Really. SO cool.
