comment |
Awkward, known also as The Awkward Compilation, is a self-proclaimed "love letter to pop culture" — a video series about the trials and tribulations of an awkward group of Asian-Canadian university students trying to find their own happy endings and getting in each others' way in the process. Geeky humour, occasional randomness, and the odd spontaneous musical number ensue. Prepare to laugh until you pee a little.Lester and Alex are housemates and friends. One day Lester walks in on Alex making time with his hand and a video of Lester on the toilet, and it becomes apparent that Alex's feelings for him are a little more than "friendly". In fact, a little more like "stalkerish and obsessive". This makes things rough for everyone involved when Lester meets Steph...Meanwhile their friend Kevin has a problem. See, Kevin likes this girl in his class, but he's not really sure how to let her know. After all, they've only met online. Moreover, she already has a romantic interest, and he's a bit of a douchebag. Luck is not on his side, but he's not one to quit without trying.Written, directed by, and starring Lester Calleja and Alex Chung. Also featuring a bunch of people they know, pretty much playing themselves. Takes place predominantly in and around Lester's house and York University campus.It spans six main segments and two interludes (three if you count the post-series retrospective). The Heroic Melon Collective website provides links to each installation and their YouTube channel has a convenient playlist. Go forth and binge.A second season (Awkward Again) is impending. Check out the first season retrospective/second season teaser here.Not to be confused with the MTV series Awkward. |

comment |
Throw It In: Kevin's 'permanent laxative' ramblings were intended to be a blooper, but got included to explain why the scene went nowhere after Ernie left the project and had to be written out. More generally, the entire post-credits kitchen handycam scene from Awkward 1 was entirely adlibbed, pieced together from around 10 minutes of footage, and nearly left on the cutting room floor for being too gross. |

Lampshaded Double Entendre: In Awkward 1, "Little Bow Wow... yeah, I hate that little guy." "He's not all little, if you know what I mean." And later in Awkward 4, "I'm gonna go all Doctor Manhattan on everybody and just walk around naked with my dong hanging out and explode people — if you know what I mean." |

Awkward 4 has two scenes from Awkward 3 redone from the perspective of a character who was out of the room at the time, witnessing the previously shown scene on surveilance, and Awkward 5 has a scene from Awkward 2 from the perspective of a character the audience didn't even know was there. |
