Fail Sitcom Brings Comedy and College Life to the Web

Hilarious, relatable and reminiscent of the shows many of us watched back in the 90s, Fail is a college-themed comedy gem just about to hit it big. Available online, each short episode follows the adventures and misadventures of an unlikely group of college study buddies. In its second season, Fail has airs every Thursday exclusively on AllHipHop.com in a partnership with Hip-Hop legend Christopher “Play” Martin of Kid-N-Play, and acclaimed producers, Vanessa Baden and James Bland.

Characters

Alicia There’s also the first-year cheerleader, Hope’s cousin Alicia. With her sunny outlook, she’s convinced she can do anything – even snag the affections of the vacant-eyed Jones.	Jet Jet is the lady’s man, arriving everywhere on a gust of wind and so well-groomed he combs the fur on his bomber hat.
Hope Self-centered divas with (hidden) hearts of gold abound on most campuses. This campus has Hope, the daughter of a preacher who’s hot and knows it. She gets places by working her hookups, of which there’s no shortage.	Jones Every school setting needs a jock with half a brain cell, and Jones plays it perfectly. With his strange affinity for the smell of shampoo to his slow reaction to pretty much every question, this guy’s mental status is as murky as his major.
Billie Jean BJ, the slightly awkward girl raised by two white fathers who’s never quite fit in anywhere, is trying to find herself. In the second episode, watch her spend time with all her study buddies, trying to figure out her path.	C.K. Perhaps most relatable of all is the wannabe rapper who claims a rough street life while trying to hide a privileged upbringing with a doctor-lawyer set of wealthy parents. Don’t we all know a few wannabes?

Premise

Failis a perfect name for the show. Each character, for different reasons, is on the verge of being placed on academic probation. Getting their grades up is a must if they want to stay in school.

Each episode finds the group on some adventure or another. At just six minutes each, the episodes definitely make you wish they were longer, but we’re hoping that extended versions will appear once the show gains in popularity. With a strong cast and some hilarious characters, we’re sure it won’t be long until Fail is the next big thing in web television.
