One part of the epic yet doomed comedy trio ‘Stella,’ David Wain, has created and produced his own Webisodes called ‘Wainy Days,’ which follow his daily antics and hapless dates with women.

The shorts are random, have plenty of strange, nonsensical jokes that come out of nowhere, really, really strange ‘plots’ and even dance breaks. Who doesn’t love a good dance break?

But the best part of ‘Wainy Days’ is how Wain is able to fit all of his friends – a.k.a. some of the funniest people in comedy – into his skits. Guests include Elizabeth Banks (the sushi puking girl from ‘The 40-Year-Old Virgin’), Rashida Jones (Karen from ‘The Office’), Jonah Hill (‘Superbad’) and Paul Rudd (‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’).

Rudd’s cameo is without a doubt the best. He stars as a pickup artist who dresses like a huge creeper and calls himself ‘Alias,’ as he picks up girls by insulting them with misogynistic remarks. Surprisingly (or not really), the girls throw themselves all over Alias. Some things never change.

There is also a season two, which focuses mostly on David trying to pick up girls. Lots and lots of girls, and in a not-so-surprisingly awkward fashion. Some other things also never change.
