From the degenerates behind Weekday Update, Chronologically Overqualified, and Virtual ASSistant (we don’t talk about that one), comes the short that finally brings this disaster of a universe together. The only thing lower than their ratings… is their dignity. An unhinged team of news anchors become prime suspects in a bizarre assault when each gives an increasingly absurd account of how their coworker lost his fourth nipple.

Virtual ASSistant - An ICS Original Comedy Short

The Pine Barrens hold secrets—whispers of those who enter but never return. Deep within, hidden from the outside world, a secret society thrives, following its own code, its own brutal laws. The Cedar Swamp Gang is more than a group—it’s a way of life, bound by loyalty and ruled by fear. As chaos unfolds, a voice cuts through the night—Billy, their relentless leader, preaching about family, devotion, and the unforgivable cost of betrayal. His words are heavy, his presence commanding, but it’s his actions that leave the deepest mark. What happens in the depths of the Barrens stays hidden from the world. But one thing is clear—no one crosses the Cedar Swamp Gang and lives to tell the tale. Credits: Executive Producer: Michael P.
