Rediscovered these old gems recently.
They seem to only be available on Vimeo now. They are all really funny and had a lot of young up-and-coming comedy stars before they were anywhere near as big as they are now (Nick Kroll, John Mulaney, etc).

They were made in 2005, back when shows like "I Love the 80s" and "I Love the 90s" were all riding the nostalgia wave. So I guess now I'm just feeling nostalgia for things that parodied the very notion of nostalgia? What a world...
