Olympic Proportions: A Web Show that Probably, Definitely, Belongs on Tumblr

Olympic Proportions is a 7-episode mockumentary-style webseries about the Greek gods, with goofy irreverent humor and lots of stupid puns. It’s a show that was made for everyone with nothing, with the goal of involving as many passionate Los Angeles performers as possible on a budget of 0 dollars. The end result is… well, it’s a shitfilm. Like a shitpost, but on film. A shitfilm. You’ll get what we mean when you see it.

Join your favorite fucked-up immortals— Zeus, Hera, Aphrodite, Athena, Poseidon, and all the other deities of Mount Olympus— as they try to find a place for themselves in the 21st century. Follow the link below to watch the episodes, and please share our wacky little project around as you see fit.

All 7 episodes of Olympic Proportions, a mockumentary-style sitcom about the Greek gods.

One of the best parts of making a mockumentary-style sitcom is getting to film all the confessional monologues where the characters speak directly to the camera. Check out some of our favorite examples of the gods talking to you: Eros’ oral résumé, Orpheus advertising his mixtape, and Poseidon and Athena’s personal drama.

Okay, we don’t want to give too much away, but we couldn’t resist sharing THE clip. You know, the one. That does that thing. That shows do sometimes.

Meet Olympus’ aesthetic, filmmaking power couple: the rulers of Hell (and/or Los Angeles, California). Hades is the founder and resident creative genius at Underworld Productions, which is definitely thriving and not at all on the verge of bankruptcy. Persephone collects spiders to feed to their pet Venus flytrap.

Hades: Woah! Hey. You want me to spy on Hera? Zeus: Of course not, Hades. You're not skilled in spy-craft. That's where Poseidon and I come in. Poseidon: Does it shock you that 80% of my encounters with women have been completely without their knowledge? Hades: Honestly, I'm more surprised by the other 20%, Poseidon.
