Nothing, Forever

[1] Originally started as a direct parody of the American sitcom Seinfeld, the livestream broadcasts permutations of 3D computer-animated sequences in a kitschy retro low-resolution style, where characters perform AI-generated scripts using voices generated through speech synthesis.

[7] Hartle and Habersberger formed Mismatch Media in 2022, in collaboration with Jakob Broaddus, Zale Bush, Nic Freeman, Edward Garmon, and Stanley Janoski.

[8] The first season's cast of characters included Larry Feinberg, Yvonne Torres, Fred Kastopolous, and Zoltan Kakler, parodies of Jerry Seinfeld, Elaine Benes, George Costanza, and Cosmo Kramer, respectively.

[16] During a stand-up scene, the character said that he was "thinking about" telling routines with offensive jokes, including comparing the state of being transgender to mental illness and references to the gay agenda.

[16] Mismatch Media announced plans to implement additional "guardrails" to prevent inappropriate content, stating that they "feel very strongly that it’s our duty as people in the generative space to do this as safely as possible".

[25] Engadget's Will Shanklin was more critical of the show's surrealist humor, comparing the voices of Larry and Fred to the Beavis and Butt-Head character Mr. Van Driessen.

[26] The Twitter account for Seinfeld acknowledged the show, tweeting a link to the Twitch channel and referencing George's line about "robot butchers" in the episode "The Stock Tip".

Levi Winslow of Kotaku noted that "the meta-humor that came with parodying Seinfeld is no longer there" and that the new format felt "neutered, or like the show was canceled only to be picked up by an entirely different network.

[5] A similarly structured project, ai_sponge, based on the SpongeBob SquarePants television series, began livestreaming on YouTube and Twitch in March of 2023.
