The web series is now a well-established route toward a full-scale television show, but how about the podcast? Three cavalier brothers from West Virginia are the latest to try that less-traveled trail. If you’re a fan of the audio incarnation — a bit of an acquired taste — the version with pictures will surely amuse.

The show is “My Brother, My Brother and Me,” and it began streaming Thursday on Seeso. It stars Griffin, Travis and Justin McElroy, advice-giving brothers who have no business giving advice. After a nonsensical opening, each episode takes up a question from a fan — “How do I convince my wife to let me get a pet tarantula?” is one — that the brothers then riff on and deconstruct for half an hour while only kind of answering it.

That is also the essence of the McElroys’ podcast of the same name, which has developed a substantial following since they began it in 2010. The brothers are not the first podcasters to make the jump to television — Marc Maron, for instance, had a nice run with “Maron” on IFC. But this is not a scripted show that occasionally makes reference to podcasting; it’s more in the mold of “Comedy Bang Bang,” an effort to capture the improvised, without-a-net feeling of the podcast itself. It’s sloppy as heck, but it kind of works.
