Chad Vader - Day Shift Manager is a comedy web series that premiered in 2006 on the YouTube channel Blame Society Productions. The show follows Chad Vader, the younger brother of iconic Star Wars villain Darth Vader, as he tries to manage a grocery store during the day shift. The show is a clever parody of both Star Wars and workplace comedies, and features an ensemble cast of hilarious characters.

Chad Vader is played by the talented actor and comedian, Aaron Yonda. Yonda's portrayal of Chad is hilarious, and he perfectly captures the tone and mannerisms of Darth Vader while adding his own unique comedic spin. The character of Chad is haughty, rude, and overbearing, making him an incredibly funny and endearing lead character.

Surrounding Chad at the grocery store are a cast of eccentric and quirky characters. There's Jeremy, played by Matt Sloan, who is Chad's loyal and hapless assistant. There's also Clarissa, played by Christina LaVicka, a sarcastic and sharp-tongued cashier who is always ready with a witty comeback. Then there's Chad's boss, Randy, played by Craig Johnson, who is constantly exasperated by Chad's over-the-top behavior.

One of the standout characters of the show is Lloyd, played by Paul Guse. Lloyd is a nerdy and socially awkward employee who idolizes Chad and thinks he's the coolest person in the world. Lloyd's interactions with Chad are some of the funniest moments of the show, and Guse's portrayal of the character is spot-on.

Another notable character is Clint, played by Asa Derks. Clint is a surly and rebellious employee who hates Chad and doesn't hide it. The dynamic between Chad and Clint is one of the driving forces of the show, and Derks' performance as Clint is fantastic.

The show is also notable for its use of practical effects and locations. The grocery store setting is a real-life store in Madison, Wisconsin, and the show makes good use of the different areas and departments of the store. The use of Star Wars-inspired practical effects, such as Chad's light saber laser pointer, also adds to the show's charm.

Chad Vader - Day Shift Manager is a clever and hilarious web series that has developed a devoted fan base over the years. The show's combination of workplace humor and Star Wars parody is a winning formula, and the ensemble cast of talented actors bring the characters to life in a way that is both funny and relatable. If you're a fan of comedy or sci-fi, this is definitely a show worth checking out.
