--> The First Lines of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Fkv7SRQPR4&feature=related Probably Going to be Called "The Allen Show"]]

Allen (as played by Allen Murphy of EvilIguanaProductions) wants to be famous and make movies. To achieve this desired fame, he decides that he and his friend Craig (played by Craig Deering) are going to become the next big Website/YouTube phenomenon by creating their own series of videos. Craig would rather be left alone to go to college and eat apples, and usually takes the part of CowardlySidekick in Allen's schemes for notoriety. The show follows the various ups and downs of Allen's misguided attempts at making a funny Website/YouTube experience, as well as the backlash that the boys receive for their antics. Allen, even though the show portrays him as Craig's one and only friend, can be kind of a {{Jerkass}} and often his plans disregard the safety, sanity, and humility of Craig. HilarityEnsues.

The premise of almost every episode is about making the episode, which means the videos tend to be LeaningOnTheFourthWall quite a bit. Despite the characters', mostly Craig's, assumptions that they are extremely unpopular and that many of their viewers are just family, the video and other programs made by EvilIguanaProductions have gained a moderate following. The increase in fandom can be seen in the GrowingTheBeard / JumpingTheShark moment of the advent of the second "season", after the location was changed to Craig's college apartment and a theme song change was made.

!!This show provides examples of:
* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Allen in episode 10: "And here is where Harriet Tubman and Mart Luther King Jr. married on the Underground Railroad."
* BlessedWithSuck: Craig, whenever he sees a girl or tries to talk to her nearly always throws up.
* CatchPhrase: "You are such an asshole, Craig."
* CowardlySidekick: Craig, to a certain extent. However he gets a little better later in the series when [[GrowingTheBeard fan circulation picked up]].
** Alternatively, Craig could be seen as more of TheDragAlong.
* FacialCompositeFailure: This trope is inverted in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mIVB6LqhGg&feature=related Episode 11]] in which Allen is kicked out of a sorority party he crashed. The wanted poster hung around has a perfect rendition of Allen on it, yet he doesn't recognize it and complains the guy on it "has the same helmet as me" and "it doesn't even look good on him".
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Nearly every episode has the main plot of creating that episode.
* MirrorUniverse: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uxiF5NO1j8= Episode 12]] has the camera man abducted by WhiteGangBangers (played by Kyle Bridges and Dan Drake) , who are very similar to Allen and Craig.
** Unfortunately, since Dan Drake's departure from the group, we probably won't see them together again.
*** In contrast, the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnTpRuwinkA two]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AC21lrNROCU part]] Episode 8 features Lars (played by Lars Heemskerk), someone who is PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Craig is often eating green apples.
* UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny: Discussed in Episode 8 Part 1. "Tony the Tiger could ''eat'' Captain Crunch!"
* YouWannaGetSued: Nearly all of Allen's plans are ideas he gets entirely from TV, movies, or other Website/YouTube stars.
