"The Proxy" is an action/sci-fi webseries which ran from March 8-17, 2012.

The story starts when Website/YouTube tat reviewer Creator/StuartAshen attempts to review the contents of a package addressed to his neighbour, Tom Bishop--a USB flash drive. Suddenly, he is interrupted when two men break into his house and attack him, forcing him to go on the run. After running into Tom, and after both are rescued by an amnesiac woman with bizarre powers, who they dub "Sarah", the three go on a quest to find out the story behind the drive and their assailants.

The series was an [[AlternateRealityGame ARG]] to which only [[OfferVoidInNebraska UK residents were eligible]] to enter. However, the series is available for anyone to watch [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTY9p4-nT6k online.]].

!! This webshow provides examples of:
* BedmateReveal: Tom wakes up in bed next to Stuart [[spoiler:after Sarah puts them there.]]
* {{Fingore}}: One of Baker's minions' methods of torture. [[spoiler:Fortunately for Tom, it gets better, thanks to Sarah's HealingHands.]]
* GenreBlindness: Most of the cast but surprisingly Ashens at one point where he doesn't seem to notice how odd a police officer is acting.
* GenreSavvy: Ashens, who points out that going to the bad guy's hangout, especially after escaping it once, is not a good idea. Lampshaded by Peter.
* {{Invisibility}}: One of [[spoiler:Sarah]]'s powers.
* TheManBehindTheMan: Shown in the final part [[spoiler:where he burns Peter Baker instantly for failing.]]
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Sarah, although there really isn't much room for foreshadowing in the first place.
* PoorlyDisguisedPilot: The storyline actually began in one of Ashens' regular review videos (specifically, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AE8c3E_VZmY a review]] of LimitedSpecialCollectorsUltimateEdition video games). The first episode itself was literally a disguised pilot, as it was originally posted under the title of "Illegal Activity Special" and pretended to be a normal review video, albeit one of the contents of a package addressed to his neighbor, until suddenly plot happened.
* ProductPlacement: The series is sponsored by Alienware. Which of course means Alienware computers are shown all over the place. When Stuart was asked about the Alienware laptop he was using in the disguised pilot, he admitted that he had to return it after the series had concluded.
* SequelHook: TheManBehindTheMan for Peter Baker is still out there.
