Forget about Facebook, drop your remote and steer your web browser to clarkandmichael.com. There, in the tradition of so-awkward-it's-funny mockumentaries like The Office, is the web-only tale of "two guys trying to get picked up.” Brampton, ON, native Michael Cera (Arrested Development’s cousin-obsessed George-Michael Bluth) and Clark Duke (Frat Guy #1 on a CSI episode) star as themselves, two dorky buddies/sitcom writers who hire a film crew to document their attempts to court network television. And the sitcom they're pitching: it's a show about two guys trying to pitch a show to network bigwigs. CBS coughed up enough money for ten episodes, each no longer than 12 minutes, and a new one airs every Wednesday. Duke and Cera are geniuses at being socially inept and assists from Andy Richter, David Cross and others don't hurt one bit.
