I've had this idea for a while: What would a sitcom based on /r9k/ be like? The main character, tentatively named Felix, is a socially awkward, self-diagnosed aspie virgin who spends most of his time in front of his computer. He's currently enrolled in an unspecified STEM-type program at an unnamed university. Despite coming across as shy and passive-aggressive to the outside world, Felix fancies himself somewhat of an intellectual, and spares no opportunity to mention his IQ of 150, as determined by numerous free websites. His wardrobe includes fedoras, trenchcoats, cargo shorts, capes embellished with MLP characters, and a fanny pack in which he carries his meals to minimize interaction with waiters and cashiers. Others customarily respond to Felix's social gaffes by merely shaking their heads and groaning, "That Felix!" Felix's roommate, Norm, draws a sharp contrast to our reclusive friend. He's tall, handsome, athletic, outgoing, and the life of the party. He's majoring in a Liberal Arts course, and shares a dorm with Felix because it was the only room left. Norm seems to have a different girlfriend nearly every week, although some recur throughout the series. Norm is generally amiable towards Felix, but at one point confides in his girlfriend that he reminds him of "one of the guys from that Columbine movie". He is a member of the university's "Alpha Bro Yolo" fraternity. Norm's girlfriends vary from week to week, but most share similar qualities such as being relatively attractive and insisting to Felix that they know what it's like to be alone, having gone without a boyfriend for X number of weeks. They and Norm often kick Felix out of the dorm room to have sex, during which time noises varying from goat bleats to Elvis impersonators can be heard. Anyone else?

More likely just t-shirt and jeans. Maybe a hoodie.

Jason Bigman This character appears later in the show, he has be chosen by the justice department to watch after Felix after he's done another mistake in public. Jason is 29, and he is forced to follow Felix when he's out, and forced to talk to Felix everytime to assure that the "vulnerable teen' won't do any mistake like shooting a school. Jason hates his fuckin job, he hates Felix, he likes Norm but only when he shut up, and he fucking hates Tammy at the point he wants to kill her when she opens her cunt mouth. Jason is always honest, he will always say to Felix "Damn it shut up ! I'm having enough of your bullshit !" or something like "Dude, you really need to get laid" Jason is a little bit overweight but nothing very big. He has brown/black hair always combed to perfection. And he always wears a shirt (various colors) and white pants (always white).

seriously nobody wants to make a sitcom out of this? even if it's just for one episode? we could get financial help through kickstarter we'd make plots for the episodes by making threads here about the most awkward shit that happened to fellow brobots and make an episode around it

>>3363124 You'd have to pitch it to a company. If we went indie it'd suck. Anyway, only /r9k/ would care about it and that's not a large enough audience. 99.9% of people wouldn't get the references so it'd bomb.

take ouya for example if we could just get a fifth of that money we'd have plenty for an indie production
and maybe some actual bots have acting quality and aren't that hideously ugly and would gladly do it
they can relate and make the shit more believable cuz most of them live this shit

>>3359173 This. Obese shirtless guy with Rapist Glasses is Felix's sometimes friend, who he play minecraft and watches MLP. Norm sometimes walks in on them as Felix is cuddling his MLP cushion and OSG is stuffing his face with cheetos. Norm usually turns off the tv, and tells them to get a life, in which Felix flys in to a rage yelling about the finer plot points of MLP. OSG sits there quietly stuffing his face with cheetos.
OSG has a fine layer of cheeto dust around his fingers/face.

A minor recurring character I came up with. Stan the dark, scrawny guy that is trying to look intimidating by having long hair, long black coat and a pitifully unfitting nosering and who is interested in all things occult and dark. Stan always demands that people spell his name as S'tan and he always throws a hissy fit when people call him normally. Stan is a person that enjoys reading stuff like /x/ creepypasta and treating them as if they are real. He loves to imagine ghosts and goblins in every nook and corner and he always tries to scare people with his stories. Ofcourse he fails at it hard because not only is he a scrawny guy failing at looking scary, he also st-st-stutters. Stans also often tries to make people believe that he has a ghost girlfriend... Sorry if my writing is horrible, I'm a horribly tired little Finn.

I love the choice of Norm for the contrast character's name. However, mlp, capes, and fedoras and shit are taking it too far. Misrepresentatively far, but more importantly, too far for many viewers to relate at all, and too far for any amount of suspension of disbelief.
