Synopsis: Ned Potter doesn't like people, but he wants them to like him. That's why he wants to be YouTube famous. That and so he can get the sweet, sweet ad-revenue money that YouTube partners collect. After realizing that his long running "Ned Was Annoyed By" web series is a dud, coupled with the news that his brother is kicking him out of his rent-free living situation, Ned decides to take matters into his own hands. With the help of his faithful girlfriend Sonesta and his loyal friend Jace, Ned devises a plan to imitate the five most popular types of viral videos. In the end, Ned gets YouTube famous, but not quite in the way he planned...

    Creative Notes:
    I loved Nate's original script from the first read. My partner in crime, Aaron Harlan, re-wrote some aspects of the story and I think they add a lot of humor. We wandered away from the script in some areas (Ze Frank) but I think we captured the spirit of the story. Thanks again to Nate Dern for culturally relevant content blended with comedic genius.

    Creative Notes:
    Some reviewers criticized the original script because it they felt it wasn't funny enough. I greatly increased the humor. I removed the references to "Neti Pot" because some people, including me, did not think it was very funny. I have made Ned's girlfriend even sweeter and more caring. I left Ned as a rude and brash character, but I made him a nicer, so people could sympathize with him more.

    Thanks to Stephen for some very helpful notes! Tightened things up, added a new location, made it read less like a play, took out some "wells," removed most of the parentheticals, and a few other formatting changes.

    "Some people get their fifteen minutes; Ned just wants his three and a half." Had the idea for this script kicking around in my head for over a year now. Finally sat down and wrote it. Would love any feedback or suggestions.
