Logline: Three rules. Two wiseguys. One stupid solution to a housing problem.

“Squatters”, an original episodic comedy series produced for the Web, premieres June 1st on Dailymotion. This hysterical new show follows the absurd lives of Hank & Alex, two 20-somethings who have vowed never to pay rent again! The first independently-produced original series released by Toad Hop Entertainment, Inc., the show stars well-known regulars from the hottest TV and Web shows. A new episode will be available every Monday on Dailymotion throughout the summer.

Blending the awkward, intelligent comedy of ABC’s “Modern Family” with the hysterical antics of FX’s “Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” Squatters follows the wild ride of two best friends whose radical but simple solution to the swelling cost of housing in New York City is to live “rent free.” Our heroes each take a unique approach to their housing dilemma. Hank relies on his rugged good looks and frat boy charm to seduce women and “take them back to their place” for the night. Meanwhile, Alex secretly converts his office cubicle into half-decent sleeping quarters and freshens up in the employee bathroom.

“Squatters” is already making headlines after an interview with creator Brendan Bradley on National Public Radio about his own experiences being “between places” in New York City as well as a Tubefilter Exclusive offering a sneak peak to the show’s already growing grassroots fan base. Series star Sandeep Parikh, previously known for his role as Zaboo in online sitcom “The Guild,” comments, “After ‘The Guild,’ I was suddenly an ‘Actor,’ and I realized that was a career I wanted to further explore. With ‘Squatters,’ I get the opportunity to play a very different character than Zaboo, and who could turn down the chance to improvise, slap asses, play drunk, and yell at people?!

“Squatters” is the first original comedy from Dailymotion, following the site’s successful drama, “Compulsions,” which garnered four nominations and one win at this year’s Streamy Awards. There is already speculation that “Squatters” will enjoy similar accolades and success in the coming award season. “Our audience looks to Dailymotion to find the best high quality, original entertainment on the Web,” said, Joy Marcus, US General Manager of Dailymotion. “With Squatters, we’re very proud to premiere what we undoubtedly believe is the next great episodic comedy.”
