You got Awkward Cannon!

Larry David, the maestro behind such seminal television masterworks asSeinfeldandCurb Your Enthusiasm, has absolutely no interest in portraying the theoretical daily struggles of characters that exist almost entirely within video games and crudely drawn pornography. Thankfully,Overtime Comedy, the Internet’s answer to the tragic death of John Belushi, does.
