Clark and Michael is a television show starring Michael Cera and Clark Duke, both of whom are playing exaggerated versions of themselves. The show is a mockumentary-style comedy written by Cera and Duke, with additional writing from Jonah Hill, David Cross, and John Francis Daley.

The show follows Clark and Michael, two recent high school graduates trying to make it big in Hollywood. The show begins with the two of them trying to pitch a television show to various Hollywood executives, failing miserably each time. They then decide to take matters into their own hands by making a documentary about their lives in Hollywood.

The documentary follows the two of them as they navigate their way through Hollywood, attending various auditions and meetings while trying to make a name for themselves. Along the way, they encounter various industry professionals, including directors, agents, and other actors, all of whom are played by famous comedians such as Jonah Hill and David Cross.

The humor of Clark and Michael is mainly derived from the awkwardness and cringiness of the situations the two protagonists find themselves in, as well as the deadpan humor of the performances. The show is very low-budget, intentionally so, and the aesthetics of the show are very DIY, with many of the scenes shot on a handheld camera.

Throughout the show, we see the two protagonists struggle to find their place in the industry, as they are constantly met with rejection and disappointment. They are often too naive to understand the reality of the industry they are trying to break into, which leads to many hilarious misunderstandings and mishaps.

Despite the show being a comedy, it also has a somewhat melancholic quality to it, as it portrays the harsh realities of the entertainment industry and the constant rejection that aspiring actors and writers must face. There is a sense of desperation that pervades the show, as Clark and Michael will do anything to make it big, even if it means compromising their integrity.

All in all, Clark and Michael is a funny and poignant show about two young men trying to make it big in Hollywood. The show's low-budget aesthetic and deadpan performances give it a unique charm, and while the humor is often cringe-inducing, it is also incredibly relatable. The show is a great exploration of the struggles that come with trying to make it in any creative field, and it is definitely worth a watch.
