9/10
Good laughs in first viewing

I honestly thought this would fail... internet sensations are usually just funny and "epic" on the internet... but surprisingly Pure Pwnage (television show) had me laughing out loud on just the first viewing.

Example: Jeremy and FPS_doug are at a job counselling office. The woman asks Jeremy where he sees himself in 10 years... his response (as I can remember): In a tube of liquid being fed and owning noobs, but he'd want his tube to be in Korea because they have the best internet connections.

That's hilarious... and there's so many more moments that anyone with a bit of computer & gaming background will love. At a job interview he tunes out and imagines himself being a Counter-Strike player inside the office, trying to lead his interviewer as a hostage safely out, whilst fighting terrorists haha.

There's some really good moments, too, that anyone can relate to. Jeremy sits in the long grocery-store lineup getting very fed up... what does he do? He angrily storms behind the counter, pushes the cashier aside, and begins scanning people through using his insanely fast "micro". Soon after he's approached for a job.

The only issue I'd say is that they're forcing an emotional storyline; some dialogue was a bit long for the actors to deliver (most notably fps_doug who is usually quick and loud). Also, Kenny from Kenny vs Spenny makes an appearance.

Altogether though, it's pretty good! I think this show is EXTREMELY unique: it's up to date with the computing/gaming/internet world... which is something to say about any television show (or movie even)...

I hope this show is successful, I love it.
