Madd Man

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Madd Man is a a web series created by brothers Anthony and John Maddaloni, parodying extreme sports and stunts shows. In each episode, John plays a fictionalized version of himself, an egotistical extreme stunts enthusiast who announces to the camera that he's going to do some awesome stunt, and then promptly make a fool of himself in the process. The episodes are notably brief, but all the funnier for their brevity.

Naturally, the series is on YouTube.

Tropes used in Madd Man include:
  • Jump the Shark - Referenced in the title card at the end of the first episode: "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED: Jumped The Shark On The First Episode".
  • Le Parkour - John spends a lot of the first season doing what he fancies to be this, specifically in Episode 2. Naturally, it's hysterical.
  • Recurring Extra - The girl in the green hoodie has a habit of showing up randomly in various episodes. [1]
  • What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome? - The central concept behind the show and the personality of its main character.
  1. Hint: It's Anthony's girlfriend.
