Plot Synopsis

Hosted by April Richardson and Chris Fairbanks, ALMOST GENIUS is a half-hour clip show that features a cast of comedians and performers digitally inserted into viral videos to comment on them, but, instead of just mocking people, the talking heads congratulate the subjects for their bravery and ingenuity in snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Plus, stick around the for end of each episode, because April and Chris always save the best for last. Videos include: people pole dancing in India; a guy totally confusing his girl in bed; an amazing way this one guy puts on his pants; a band of marauding monkeys wreak havoc on a freshly baked batch of bread; the awesome chi of the office karate master; a real-life lightsaber academy; the worst dating profiles ever; a dance-off that's so bad, it's good; a mystical owl whisper; a camp that prepares you for the Zombie Apocalypse; a skateboarding taco; and many more cray cray clips.
