Odd Jobs

2009–2010 · 1 season

A scrappy, fast-paced web comedy of odd jobs and oddball clients, watched in short, low-stakes bursts.

Tagline: Hustle life... before life hustles you.
Overview: Nate is a neurotic, recently laid-off investment banker. Joe is his unemployed, morally questionable, hustler roommate. Unable to find gainful employment (or pay for his impending wedding), Nate secretly tags along on Joe's work-for-hire Craigslist adventures. Each episode finds the unlikely pair doing an outlandish job for ridiculous people in an absurd attempt to earn a random buck.
How it feels: Absurd, light, satirical and cynical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Work, friendship, class, ambition
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
