An [[Affectionate Parody]] of [[Talk Show|late-night talk shows]] created by Andrew and Michael Flack.
 
Initially used to satirize the Late Night War of 2010 between [[Jay Leno]] and [[Conan O Brien|Conan O'Brien]], Mortimer's Vlog follows the exploits of a monkey named Mortimer and his unwilling sidekick/bandleader Joe as they shoot a Video Blog that he thinks is a network TV show.
 
The show takes on a semi-serialized format, with each "season" (every ten episodes is considered one season) having a plot-arc that usually gets started about halfway through.

* [[Arch Nemesis]]: Steve Wikli
* [[Aside Glance]]: Joe in pretty much every episode.
* [[Author Appeal]]: The creators of the series are totally gay for--er, VERY enthusiastic about [[Conan O 'Brien]] and late-night talk shows as a whole.

* [[Black Comedy]]: "Escort Service... blood stain removal... police bribes... I'm feeling lucky..."
