6 Stand Out Gay Web Series Of 2012

These shows ran the gamut of emotions from funny to sad and heartfelt to raunchy and are worth an afternoon of marathoning.

I know, right? Now tell your friends!
6 Stand Out Gay Web Series Of 2012
Stacy Lambe

6. “Jenifer Lewis and Shangela”

The scripted series plays on both stars’ personas and postions them as a modern day odd couple with plenty of sass to go around. While funny, the show’s appeal is based on your tolerance of Shangela’s “Halleloo’s.” (SFW)

Watch the entire series here.

5. “Hunting Season”

Based on the popular blog-turned-book, The Great Cock Hunt, the series follows the sexual exploits of Alex, a columnist by day and a sex fiend by night (or day). It’s raunchy and fun but not one to watch during your lunch break. (NSFW)

4. “Gay’s Anatomy”

A series “that goes deep,” Gay’s Anatomy adopts the mocumentary style of The Office and plays on all the medical (and sexual) innuendos. However, it’s a far cry from its namesake. The second season, which returned in February, brought on a full season of funny. (SFW)

Watch the entire series here.

3. “Where The Bears Are”

Part Golden Girls, part Murder She Wrote, this web series mixes in the camp with a murder mystery that’s something of a gay-version of Clue. It’s a furry delight. (Slightly NSFW)

2. “Husbands”

The series produced by Jane Espenson (Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Battlestar Galatica) is a funny and heartfelt look at marriage. In its second season, the couple explores cohabitation and life after the wedding bell stop ringing. (SFW)

Watch the entire series here.

1. “The Outs”

The series created by Adam Goldman is a solemn look at the dating life of young gay men in Brooklyn. But that’s not to say the series is completely serious. It mixes surprising emotional depth with sharp wit and dark humor. A must watch. (Slightly NSFW)

      This is insane. With the exception of The Outs, this list presents five of the most offensively unfunny examples of what a good web series (gay or otherwise) should be. The exclusion of It Gets Betterish is inconceivable. By praising what can only be described as gay minstrel shows, you’re rewarding offensive mediocrity and encouraging more of it. Haven’t we been through enough? Did we really need Hunting Season?

      Here we go, added one to the list!

    • crazy kat 6 months ago

      Wow I really love the whole sea of cis gendered white gay men who make up 98% of this list! Only one gay man of color and no lesbians, how typical! Love to see the “diveristy” being shown in my own damn community!
