A Blog about My Addiction

Now that you ran over here (To get some hot gossip on me , I bet (Shame on You) or Because I sent you over here), Listen up!!!
My name is ________OUTSPOKEN_DIVA_______ and I am addicted to Black Web Series & Vlogs. I'm jonesing right now because my YouTube App on my phone has been acting up for the passed 35 hours and I have to watch stuff on my slow PC. If you are an FBF you already knew this to some point. My "little brother" B.J. is gonna cuss me out if I suggest one more Web Series or Vlog. I got it BAD Just checked my phone, ERROR!

I read an article last year wondering why "black sitcoms/dramas" aren't on TV but Online (which I agree with, The ONLY "black" show (scripted or reality) on TV I'm watching this summer is Single Ladies (women friends with more money than me with men issues I so can relate)). So I went to YouTube, FaceBook and Twitter to look for some of the titles and ran smack dab into my truth. Let me see I found shows or vlogs that deal topics like "Single with a crush but date others", "Secret love of ghetto songs that you still pick apart the lyrics but you still dance to" "Weirded out by co-workers (in my case former (a self-employment benefit)) because of attitudes and culture", "Nerdy & Full of Love of "the '80 or '90's", "Single & Dating", "Like dating Men but the ones you like still got issues and you start to think it could be you" "Awkward Phone Calls" and "College study Groups". Part of my Truth. All I need to do is find a good Christan show and my life will be cover by the Web Series. Okay here my list of my favorites. If it's Green, that's the link.

10. Fail - I avoided study groups in College because I once had an experience like of these. Not telling!!! Mine wasn't so funny. I fail on my own not because of others. 8D Episode 1 (The theme song is Great)

9. Venus Vs. Mars - It's British but this American can relate. What happens after your boyfriend breaks up with you, you try to date while your family and friends are in relationships? Pilot Episode

8. Black and Single TV - They are perfect for each other. Will they ever meet? Episode 1

7. She Got Problems - Little sister of a real-life famous actress that wants to do a musical about her dating life. She had me at "Black Guys are a few of My Favorite Things". Anthony Mackie is on my Top Ten 10 list too. She Got Problems by Allison McDonald

6. Black Nerd Comedy - I swear he acts like my cousin, D.D. D.D. is the cousin I was mostly around growing and one of the ones I'm kind of similar to (Trust me the other cousins know. They won't be offended). This Vlog is filled with Top List, Rants Raves & Reviews about video games, movies, TV Shows, etc. Lot of current stuff and a lot of stuff from the 80's & 90's. Check this episode out You also have to check out his Rant of Charles Barkley. Barkley asked for it, IMO.

5. HangUp!!! - Ever had a phone call go WRONG First Time You Should Hang Up!

4 . Corporate Brother - Ever been the only "Black Person" at work or in class. And the non-blacks want to "talk" to you about you being just that. Best episode "The Black History Month Program" Episode 2. But first Episode 1

3. Unwritten Rules - Female version of Corporate Brother. Some of her co-workers are rude also. Based on a Book Yes, (I plan to read) The Hair Episode I swear it's straight from the book of my life.  Episode 1

Okay the Top Two are Both written by the same person  Issa Rae. She has another show "Fly Guys" Kinda cute. Just not for me but check it out, It might be yours.

2. RatchetPiece Theatre - Rae's Vlog were she analyzes some of her favorite Songs, that We All Know the lyrics are Vile, Vulgar, Degrading, Morally Wrong, Ghetto,etc but that Beat makes us bounce our butts to it anyway Oh and she's classy about it too. Need a definition of Ratchet? Episode one, she provides the perfect one. Episode 1

1. Awkward Black Girl (ABG to my possibly annoyed FBF) - You know you are on to something when Pharrell Williams put your Season 2 on his IamOther channel on YouTube. When the main character J. asked if she was only person that acts like she in the video when singing in the car, while singing a new ratchet favorite of mine "Booty Shawts", I was HOOKED. She had me at the first sentence, first scene, & first song of Episode 1 of Season 1. Issa Rae says she was just wanted the "black" Liz Lemon from 30 Rock. She made comedy genius to me. She's awkward at Dating. She's awkward at Work. She has awkward Co-workers (i.e. Germy Patty, "A", Sister Mary, Baby Voice, Darius are Some). She has an awkward BFF. She is Awkward and Black and I love it. (Maybe because I'm a true ABG, also) The show even has character shorts between seasons. Season 1 Episode 1   Season 2 Episode 1

Okay so now you see why I Don't Watch the various Wives, Ex Wives, Love and whatever and all the rest. I'm watching This Stuff. I relate to Web Shows better.

Now these are the one's I like. I am want you to go a look up "Black Web Series" no look up "Web Series"(my next venture, blame the article) and find what you'll. There many out there. Issa Rae and Black Nerd rave about a "reality show" called "K-Town" (Asian version of Jersey Show). Issa Rae also has the "Fly Guys" and soon out "I Hate LA Dudes". I know the makers of "HangUp" also, have "The Couple" & "The Number". On the Iamother channel there's A man on the street show called "StereoTypes" My friends rave about a series about blacks lesbians called "Between Women". There is even a "reality show" about black male strippers suppose to be out. It looked interesting enough. Oh and there are Vlogs Galore. Are you already watching some? What are you watching?

There is Something for everybody. Where TV can let you Web Series can boost you back up. Oh yeah I check my phone still an error message!!! LoL, I'm so Addicted!!!
