A couple weeks ago, we shined our spotlight on the upcoming 'FMyLife' web series, the result of a collaboration between the Fml team and the duo of Ben Giroux and Ray Chase, who run the Awkward Universe comedy channel. The first episode has now been released on the newly minted FMLVideoGuys YouTube channel. As Giroux previously mentioned, each episode will feature a combination of five short FMLs that share a common theme. The first theme is "proposals", with Giroux, Chase, and several other actors re-enacting their favorite FMLs on the subject.

"The best Fml's feel like a personal story being recounted by a good friend -- it's embarrassingly intimate. We realized the best way to convey these pathetic stories was to eliminate production dialogue and replace it with morose,...
