Synopsis

Worm Diner is an intergalactic diner where characters from every universe can stop by for a hearty meal – from vampires, to Minecraft villagers, to pokemon trainers, and more! Fast-paced, joke-dense and absurd – it’s the classic kids-sketch format of You’re Skitting Me with the internet-savvy humour of Smosh.

Each 8-minute episode features a handful of sketches, all grounded by the Worm family –Whoobert, Whennifer, Whyatt, Whatson and Howie (Wherica is unfortunately estranged, because, well... it’s a long story and we don’t really have time to get into it now...I know we’ve spent a long time explaining how we don’t have time to get into it, but trust me, it would take even longer than this!...Ok, fine, you got me - we don’t know where Wherica is).

The Worms are (very very very) distant relatives from across the galaxy, all working and living at the restaurant. While they have some obvious differences (one is a worm) and can get on each other's nerves, they care about each other deeply and fall easily into a relatable family dynamic.

Uncle Whoobert (the uppity maitre-d) keeps the family on task, while Whennifer (a human waitress) over-involves herself in the patrons adventures! Chefs Whyatt and Whattson are “identical twin” brothers (one is a puppet version of the other) who razz each other up (for better and worse). Howie is the silent dish-pig, and while not technically related to the Worms, is just as part of the family.

With a Muppet-esque mix of live action and puppetry, The Wormhole combines nostalgic charm with the online discoverability necessary to find and engage today's kids. The strong family relationships ground the content, while incorporating trends (eg. trick shot challenge) and characters the target audience are familiar with (Wednesday Addams).

(On top of a good meal) Worm Diner serves up silly, smart, and weird sketches that kids can binge today and quote tomorrow. If we do it right, we’ll be creating a whole new generation of comedians. And for that, we’re sorry.
