Awesome of the Day: Pangea 3000

If the cast of Seinfeld was instead on the late-night Cartoon Network Adult Swim lineup, it might have looked something like Pangea 3000.

Pangea 3000 is a sketch comedy team out of New York who operate in the bizarre-but-totally-hilarious tradition of Upright Citizen’s Brigade and Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!

In addition to live shows at NYC’s UCB Theatre and other assorted gigs, the troupe takes on irrelevance with irreverence with esoteric-but-still-LOL-funny sketch videos on eclectic topics such as a Mortal Kombat-style game, Coney Island’s infamous Cyclone and Sister Act 2.

Pangea 3000 members Dan Klein and Arthur Meyer have also taken a loving-but-iconoclastic stab with a new web series parodying Seinfeld, with new episodes airing as of May 27. Even with the wacky cut-ins, the duo’s Jerry and George impressions are surprisingly dead-on.

Watch the first episode of The Jerry Seinfeld Program, “Beans,” below:
