Man Man is a show about superheroes, and it might even be funny too... 	

When a man gets bitten by a radioactive man and develops the powers of two men it seems like the perfect excuse to put his pants on over his jeans and fight crime. Take that evildoers!

Man Man follows the eponymous hero as saves an old lady's cake, recruits a sidekick, confronts his nemesis and tries to save the world. He also lives in a public toilet, gets kidnapped by hookers and develops a substance abuse problem, but we don't talk about those times.

Man Man was created by Mark Friend and written and produced by Mark Friend and Simon Harris.

Man Man runs in the SU Elections. Also, see what's coming in the awesome-tastic Episode 1!

60 Second Manifesto & Episode 1 Teaser Trailer

A documentary exploring the rites and working conditions of South American farmers seemed too much like hard work for Mark & Simon, so they made Man Man instead.  Episode 1 follows Man Man from his humble beginnings through his first adventure, while setting the scene for an epic trilogy. Breaking Convention has everything you could possibly want; cakes, explosions and substance abuse, don't miss it.

--Man Man Episode 1 won Highly Commended Comedy at the 2010 National Student Television Association Awards, so it must be kind of good.--

Episode 1: Breaking Convention

It seems like a year, and it actually has been, since Episode 1 was released, so it is about time to get another fix of the good stuff. Despite the unrelenting hate mail and multiple lawsuits, Mark and Simon challenged the Gods and defied fate itself and made another episode.

After yet another brush with death, Man Man decides it is time to recruit a sidekick. Meanwhile, the mysterious murders at Local TV continue. Who is this mystery assassin? Will Man Man ever be successful? And will there ever be another double rainbow? Find out most of this and some other stuff you probably didn't care about in Episode 2: The X-Men Factor.

Episode 2: The X-Men Factor

Man Man has always been somewhat of a dreamer - especially that one time he dreamt he was Prince of Yugoslavia and owned a pet crab called Herschel. So when he is told his dance moves are 'whack' by some punk-ass homies on the street, he sets off to give them a damn good serving - in a vaguely imaginary way, of course.

After showing Man Man to George Lucas in a private screening at Skywalker Ranch he assumed control of the intellectual property and incarcerated Mark and Simon. Lucas then proceeded to lock himself away for 12 months, making unnecessary changes to the episode - such as ensuring Man Man shot first!

Eventually Mark and Simon were released on a technicality and returned home with a new version of Man Man and some wicked prison gang tattoos to show for their time away. So here, for your viewing pleasure, is Man Man Episode 2: The X-Men Factor - Directors Cut (with over 2 minutes of unseen footage*).

*Including a crucial scene we forgot to put in originally that is crazy important to the overall plot. Our bad.

Episode 2: The X-Men Factor - Director's Cut

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's a flying pig — which can only mean that Man Man episode 3 is finally here! After some serious black magic and a petition on Change.org, Mark and Simon were overcome with the desire to finish the epic trilogy and finally provide some closure to both of the die-hard Man Fans.

Episode 3 sees Man Man attempting to break Swyft out of prison to clear his name regarding the LocalTV murders. However, it's far from plain sailing as Man Man's greatest adversary still stands in their way, ready to put his fiendish plan into action, which could mean the end of the world as we know it. Also, a half naked man fights a gorilla.

Praise from the critics includes:
"This is the greatest television show ever!!" ―Man Man
"Only slightly better than Chinese water torture." ―Radio Times
"A serious lack of owls. Very disappointing." ―Owl Fancier Monthly
"Best International Artist" ―The Grammys
"GGGWARRRHHWWWW!" ―Chewbacca

Episode 3: Get Cape. Wear Cape. Die!

During the process of editing Man Man, Mark and Simon left the 3 end credit sequences in the same project file, when it was suddenly bitten by some radioactive backing music. The result? An awesome extended credit sequence that acknowledges the help of everyone who starred in all three of the Man Man episodes; Breaking Convention, The X-Men Factor and Get Cape. Wear Cape. Die!

Thank you to everybody involved. You have been watching Man Man.
