A show called The Bedford Stop with the tagline ‘A reality show about Brookyn girls avoiding reality’ has made its way to YouTube for all of your hate watching needs. Unfortunately it appears to that this show is not a parody. I say this is unfortunate because as a parody it would hit home more than most any other Williamsburg parody I’ve seen. There are no outdated references to the hipsters with handlebar mustaches aesthetic that you don’t see much of anymore (yet your parents and anyone outside of NYC still think define the neighborhood). Instead there are the wealthy recent college grads living in luxury buildings, trying to improve their Tinder profiles, and feeling cool by thrift shopping (yet being grossed out that someone previously wore the clothing) that hit much closer to what a Williamsburg parody should be in 2015. Here are a few highlights you can skip to (if you dare) from the below pilot episode:

– Taking phone calls in bed of a luxury building on North 6th to decide where to go to brunch (1:08)

– Recap of a date at The Charleston (4:01)

– Going thrift shopping yet being grossed out that someone else once wore the clothing (8:13)

– Getting professional photographer Max Schwartz to take headshots for a new Tinder picture (8:55)

– Coming up with a wild idea to go to Brooklyn Bowl (10:59)

– Getting furious that your friend didn’t say hi yet at Brooklyn Bowl (8:27)

Update The pilot has been removed from YouTube but a copy still exists on Vimeo:



Please please MTV pick this up and make it a full series. This is the parody Williamsburg needs right now.
