It's like T.V. but smaller. SO I keep thinking that this kind of show is very future of television. I really think that my favorite show of recent memory is Clark and Michael. But, notice as you watch this, what is great about it isn't really tied to it's internetness.
The strength is it's silliness. That you don't get on T.V. because TV is expensive to make. David I'd guess this short is light and funny because the process of making it was light and funny. They can throw in a song even though it's episode 3 and there haven't been songs yet. Comedy on the internet doesn't have to be too formatted, the comedians are still in control of it.
This raises two questions.
1) why isn't it funnier? This isn't even really laugh-out-loud funny.
2) why is 105% of internet video content funny>

Zep it Up!
Well, the biggest and oldest of the big, old rock groups is online. This is a great relief to me. In addition to being a final admission by last hold-outs that this internet thing is going to hold on and continue to affect the way that we consume media; it allays a worry of mine while coasting around iTunes. What on earth do 13 year-old boys listen to these days?
Chuck Klosterman, very rightly, has pointed out that Led Zeppelin is unique in that nearly every teenage boy has a moment where he believes that Led Zeppelin is the only band that was ever good.
How could they have taken so long to realized that today's suburban teenagers need that too? Limey bastards.
This Times Article whinges about it for a moment.
