Denny’s Introduces ‘First-Ever’ Web Series That’s Not First-Ever But Is Kind of Boring

You’ve gotta love press releases that scream “first ever!” But they are a nice kick in the butt to get off one’s ass and do a little journalistic research. So who’s screaming “first ever”? Erwin Penland is in relationship to new work it’s doing for Denny’s.

Billed as the “first-ever web series,” the animated/claymation work features — in its first outing called Breakfast Clubbin’ — breakfast characters debating the merits of a pancake who is trying to gain entrance to an exclusive nightclub. He’s being denied by Bacon and Sausage who say to Pancake, “As soon as you slathered yourself with whipped cream and chocolate, you became a desert. There’s no desert with breakfast”

Thankfully a dolled-up egg appears to save the day. Because if you “add an =egg to anything, it’s breakfast.”

An additional 7 episodes will be released through the rest of the year, following the cast’s escapades through Halloween, a Bold Coffee emergency and other adventures.

As to that whole “first-ever” thing? Perhaps Erwin Penland hasn’t seen this.

Psychology says people who are secretly unhappy don’t complain or withdraw — they become hyper-competent at managing everyone else’s comfort while their own inner life quietly empties out

I’m 73 and Christmas stopped meaning what it used to the year I realized I was the only person at the table who remembered the people whose chairs we’d removed — my parents, my sister, my husband’s brother — and everyone else was celebrating a family they thought was complete while I was sitting inside a version that was already half gone

My father worked for the same factory for 41 years and when it closed they gave him a clock — and he put it on the mantelpiece and it ticked for the rest of his life like a metronome counting the hours of a man who gave everything to a building that gave him back a device for measuring how much time he had left, and I’ve never been able to look at a retirement gift without hearing that specific cruelty
