The Increasingly Poor Decisions Of Todd Margaret Is Online

As a warning there is quite a bit of swearing in this, but if you like laughing, Will Arnett, and David Cross it is definitely worth checking out.  The three videos here form the complete pilot episode of The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret.  How about some synopsis?

US comedian David Cross plays Todd Margaret, a hapless office drone who flukes his way into a top management job heading up the British division of a US multinational. All he has to do is sell a dozen container loads of dodgy Korean energy drinks before his psychotic boss, played by Will Arnett, visits in a week’s time. It doesn’t help that he knows nothing about the UK or selling things. What’s more, he only has one very unhelpful employee, played by Russell Tovey, to assist him. Needless to say, it doesn’t go well and Todd’s spectacular failure to impress beautiful café owner Alice, played by Sharon Horgan, only makes things worse.

I have a personal policy not to judge pilot episodes too harshly as exposition tends to be quite boring in sitcom form, so I can forgive the slower parts.  Fortunately the first five minutes or so are amazing.  The show was recently picked up for a full series run, but no word yet on when it will hit American airwaves.  Check out the pilot if you're into that kind of thing.   [via warming glow]
