"The Proxy" is an action/sci-fi webseries which ran from March 8-17, 2012.The story starts when YouTube tat reviewer Stuart Ashen attempts to review the contents of a package addressed to his neighbour, Tom Bishop—a USB flash drive. Suddenly, he is interrupted when two men break into his house and attack him, forcing him to go on the run. After running into Tom, and after both are rescued by an amnesiac woman with bizarre powers, who they dub "Sarah", the three go on a quest to find out the story behind the drive and their assailants.The series was an ARG to which only UK residents were eligible to enter. However, the series is available for anyone to watch online..

Genre Savvy: Ashens, who points out that going to the bad guy's hangout, especially after escaping it once, is not a good idea. Lampshaded by Peter.

Fingore: One of Baker's minions' methods of torture. Fortunately for Tom, it gets better, thanks to Sarah's Healing Hands.

Genre Blindness: Most of the cast but surprisingly Ashens at one point where he doesn't seem to notice how odd a police officer is acting.

Poorly Disguised Pilot

comment
Poorly Disguised Pilot: The storyline actually began in one of Ashens' regular review videos (specifically, a review of Limited Special Collector's Ultimate Edition video games). The first episode itself was literally a disguised pilot, as it was originally posted under the title of "Illegal Activity Special" and pretended to be a normal review video, albeit one of the contents of a package addressed to his neighbor, until suddenly plot happened.

New Powers as the Plot Demands: Sarah, although there really isn't much room for foreshadowing in the first place.

Product Placement: The series is sponsored by Alienware. Which of course means Alienware computers are shown all over the place. When Stuart was asked about the Alienware laptop he was using in the disguised pilot, he admitted that he had to return it after the series had concluded.
