Web series

 * Earthling Cinema stars actor-comedian Mark Schroeder as Garyx Wormuloid, an extraterrestrial historian with huge eyebrows from the distant future wherein the human species has long since gone extinct, who examines common films as the last remnants of human civilization, while comedically demonstrating lack of certain knowledge that almost no one in that civilization would lack, but simultaneously having a depth of understanding that if only those poor sad humans had had, they might have been able to save themselves.
 * Thug Notes stars actor-comedian Greg Edwards as Sparky Sweets, Ph.D., a stereotypical gangster who presents literary analysis of classic and popular literature such as The Great Gatsby, Dracula and Beloved.
 * 8-bit Philosophy, produced and animated by MB X McClain, explores philosophical questions with narration by Nathan Lowe. Usually each episode is set in the style of a classic game from the 80s or 90s, and the series had some reoccurring gags. Music was provided by David Krystal. The series concluded in 2016.
 * Boss Bitches Of History, written and hosted by pornographic actors Ela Darling and Sovereign Syre, explores the lives of strong women throughout history such as Cleopatra and Marie-Joseph Angélique.
 * Wisecrack Edition
