No matter what you do, if someone you know is running a marathon, you’re probably going to hear about it whether you or them want that to happen or not.
Watch Above Average’s find the one case where the runner didn’t want to say anything.
Rather than the “birds and bees” talk, you should wish that you got more of a “alternative”, so to speak, but still frank talk about sex like Little Esther Povitsky just had with Lauren Lapkus on her new Above Average web series Cocktales with Little Esther.
When professional homicide detectives examine a fresh corpse, they are really good at spotting details that help them infer the cause of the murder.
The detectives of Criminal Crimes from Chess Club at Above Average aren’t those kind of detectives.
Just see exactly why they aren’t here.
The latest episode of Above Average’s Storytime has Nicole Byer share her story as well as play all the parts in the reenactment of the story of her almost fling with a Jewish boy.
Watch and enjoy her story of the Jew that got away here.
The latest episode of Above Average’s Storytime has Chris DiStefano recounting his… let’s say, very assertive father and how he deals with Chris possibly getting expelled from a Catholic Boys School. DiStefano plays all the parts including his father in the reenactment.

The latest installment of the delightful storytelling web series, Chioke Nassor’s Storytime at Above Average follows the also delightful Maria Bamford recounting a visit to the psych ward that’s even stranger than just going to the psych ward.
While telling it, Maria plays every character in her story as well, a particular area of expertise for Bamford.
As far as board games go, The Settlers of Brooklyn is decidedly less of an escape from your everyday life and more of foretelling of how an up and coming neighborhood comes about.
What better way to explain gentrification than through a complex board game meant for adults with way too many rules and conditions? That’s why Above Average parodied the popular Settlers of Catan and made The Settlers of Brooklyn.
Maybe they’ll make a “Dungeons and Your Credit Score” next?
Wherever there’s a red carpet looking for poses of Charlie’s Angels rather than interview, the great John Early will most definitely be there.
That was his go-to move in covering the red carpet at the recent premiere of season 4 of Girls on HBO.
Watch Early do the press line like you’re supposed to right here.
Since IFC has really hit its stride over the last few years in their rebranding of their cable network towards comedy with Portlandia, Comedy Bang! Bang!, Maron, and more, they would be remiss if they didn’t have an outlet to regularly produce content online.
So, they fixed that with their new Comedy Crib, which will feature videos and series from the likes of UCB and Above Average.
One such series is Clickbait Overload where UCB challenges their very own to produce a clickbait video in 6 hours from a random topic and genre.
It’s pretty fun. Watch the first episode here and get into the rest of IFC’s Comedy Crib here.
The finale of season 2 of The Future with Emily Heller over at Above Average brings something that celebrity psychic/comedian Emily Heller did not forsee, which was someone who knew tarot cards way better than her.
The great Moshe Kasher apparently knows what he’s looking for in the cards no matter how Heller interprets them. Watch it here.
Emily Heller might be in a little over her head for her latest episode of The Future at Above Average. Arrested Development‘s Alia Shawkat is her latest guest and isn’t so much looking for a reading of her future as a way out of some nasty business that she got herself into.
On the latest episode of Emily Heller’s The Future at Above Average, Haley Joel Osment is seeking out answers to what the future holds. However, his most famous line from that one movie seems to be the only thing that “are in the cards” for Osment.
In the latest episode of Emily Heller’s tarot card “reading” web series The Future at Above Average, Emily takes a little bit of hallucinogenic courage via mushrooms before taking on her latest client, the very funny Eliza Coupe. Unfortunately, one of the last things you want to see on shrooms is tarot cards.
Key & Peele writer Phil Augusta Jackson knows the ways of being “Mr. Popular” and the secret to being the guy everyone loves running into.
Watch what those secrets are in his web series Mr. Popular at Above Average (be sure to watch to the end).
All of our time is valuable. However, psychics’ time are even more valuable according to Emily Heller’s web series at Above Average, The Future
That’s what Olivia Wilde learned the hard way, which also happens to be the funny way. Watch it here.
One of our favorite web series from Above Average is back for a second season. That’s right Emily Heller has returned with her “tarot card expertise” to tell The Future.

Above Average’s latest web series features sketches from The Chicago Rats, Tim Robinson, Shelly Gossman and Mike O’Brien.

Give them all a watch again like we’re probably going to.
The final episode of Chioke Nassor’s Storytime at Above Average features none other than Jonathan Ames who, before he did his HBO show Bored to Death, answered a personal ad for someone looking to box.
While funny now, it ended up not being a joke then. Watch the whole story here.
Watch Eric Andre tell and reenact the story of how he lost his prostitute cherry in Amsterdam for Chioke Nassor’s Storytime at Above Average.
