For Your Consideration: Comedies, my Streamy Noms
I am sure there are countless comedy web series that I have not yet seen, but from the ones I have, these are my picks to be up for consideration:
1) The Crew http://www.thecrew.tv/
This is my first choice, because the comedic momentum is steady throughout this series. The special effects and sound effects are perfect, as well as the whole cast (and special guests). Brett Register has a great style in writing comedy, as shown in his side projects, ‘Lost & Found’ and ‘Craig & The Werewolf’.

2) Safety Geeks: SVI http://www.daveandtom.com/safetygeeks.html
From the creative comedy team of Tom Konkle & David Beeler, that created ‘Invention with Brian Forbes’, bring us this witty English (U.K.) style humor-fest. Great background effects, writing and cast. This series is also one I would have to nominate for the Streamy Awards. It has nothing to do with the fact that Mary Cseh plays a computer expert with dark hair, stunning glasses and a hot accent… … um.. Anyway, moving along :)
