    Ha…what a find. I sometimes couldn’t tell if they were mocking the girl or not, but I think that’s just how Amy Poehler’s humor is sometimes. Is it a web serial only? Does it air on television?

    I don’t think she means to mock. I think it’s just the way she comes off. As far as I know, it’s only a web series. There are eight episodes now, and the site says they are working on another season.
