VEXED is an animated satirical comedy set in a preposterous version of 1700’s England, centering around DAPHNE SLIPPINGTON, the always vexed lady of the manor, and PEE PEE, her newly hired Garden Hermit with a mysterious past. A visitor to Slippington Manor might describe it as a hellhole, but for our characters it’s an oasis, and it’s them against the world.
Tonally think Downton Abbey but really funny, or Another Period meets Archer. VEXED is a satirical take on modern culture viewed through the lens of 18th Century England. You know how we think we’re living in the worst time in this planets's history? Well buckle up guys, this is much worse, but somehow they still have all the same problems! 1785 has a printed internet, steampunk Peloton, and human versions of digital assistants!
Created by Matt Yeager and Jeff Skowron - Matt and Jeff are an award-winning writing/filmmaking team. Their collaboration began when they were series regulars on the first breakout scripted series on the internet, THE BURG, which Yeager co-wrote. They went on to create GREG & DONNY, a webseries about two knuckleheads set in their hometown of Johnstown, PA. The show was developed into a half-hour sitcom by IFC and greenlit to pilot. They subsequently executed a half hour demo pilot for MAX RIDDLE, a dramatic comedy about an awkward man with a kind heart and crippling OCD, who makes friends for the first time, set against the backdrop of a dying American town. They partnered with Sony Pictures Television and Is or Isn’t Entertainment based on the strength of the pilot. Max Riddle was later developed as a short form series at Topic. They recently explored ultra short-form comedy in partnership with Rizzle, releasing multiple series on their social network totaling 8.5 million views.
