Trident is launching a star-studded Web series produced by CJP Media called &quot;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/TheTridentTV\" >The Webventures of Justin and Alden<\/a>&quot; that looks like an updated version of <em>Bill &amp; Ted&#8217;s Excellent Adventure<\/em> or maybe <em>Harold &amp; Kumar Go to White Castle<\/em>. I say mildly amused because the trailer contains no LOL moments, but there&#8217;s a chance that in their strenuous attempts to entertain you, Upright Citizens Brigade members Justin Tyler and Alden Ford may at times succeed. There&#8217;s George Washington and vampires, for example, and the moment when Tyler breaks the fourth wall is somewhat risible. (He looks like a cross between the <em>Ferris Bueller<\/em>-era Matthew Broderick and Matt LeBlanc.) &quot;This will be the greatest Web series Web show that&#8217;s ever been on the Web computer!&quot; Tyler says, sounding like Joey and Ferris rolled into one. There are lots of cameos, too, including Shannen Doherty, Illeana Douglas and Mark Gantt (who I thought was Christian Slater.) The effort, launched on behalf of its Layers gum, underscores Trident&#8217;s Skittles-like focus on absurdist humor <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tviPLpD8VG8\" >hinted at in previous commercials<\/a>.
