You just watched an episode of Hey Ash Whatcha Playin'! It is a prettyexcellentwebseries which I find entirely too amusing.
And yeah, re: horrible awful characters. Like, Chuck has a genuinely adorable central sibling relationship, and is often really funny, and has some really cool evolving character dynamics, and... then it has these two Socially Awkward Creepster Computer Nerd Dude characters who exist to be excruciating stereotypes for subplots where sexual harassment = hilarity. ~_~ It's unnecessary and awful and I would be recommending the show widely if it weren't for the fact that I find it only barely tolerable, and I imagine that a viewer who had experience of, say, workplace harassment would find it entirely intolerable.
And these characters have nothing to do with most of the plots, they don't contribute credibly to character development, they're just someone's idea of humorous backup. And it's just, ARGH, WHY
