Everyone has at least one horrible online dating story. Well, Bushwick and East Williamsburg-based writing trio Jared Warner, Tim Dean and Nick Ciavarella have so many they created an entire web series, Jared Posts a Personal (JPAP). The six, six-minute episodes feature guest actors, including Ilana Glazer, Francesca Ramsey, Amber Nelson, as well as some of Bushwick and Williamsburg’s beloved bars, like Cain’s Tavern.
The series begins when Jared, played by Warner, returns from a bad, non-date and Nick encourages him to join OKCupid-knock-off Alrighty Aphrodite. From there, it’s just one hilariously bad date after another, like the unexpected psycho killer and the girl who is just never going to sleep with you no matter how much she drinks.
“The original premise was that [the main character Jared] sets up an online dating profile and each episode would be an internet date that his friends Nick and Tim would promptly ruin – or that Jared would ruin through his own fumblyness,” Warner explained.
