【Swipe (2017)】

Will Arnett is Swipe (2017)already a Netflix darling -- Bojack Horsemanand Arrested Development are beloved streaming staples -- but the service is apparently ordering even more Arnett with Netflix Live, a show they began teasing today.

The preview for Netflix Liveis a hefty 48 minutes long and features what would be the basis of the show: Arnett commenting on a variety of, uh, stuff. Just, like, stuff. Like printers and coffeemakers and things.

The show description reads "Toasters toasting. Grass growing. Fans blowing. With Netflix Live, you can experience life's biggest thrills, right from the comfort of your couch."

If it sounds boring, that's because it probably should be. If it sounds like a prank, that's because it probably is. The remarkable thing though is that it's just plain fun to watch. Arnett is delightful and his pseudo-dramatic speech patterns do indeed make watching grass grow more interesting.

It's peaceful, in a lot of ways. In a lot of other ways, it'd be a pretty good thing to toss on in the background of a party. Any way you look at it, it's a fun, silly-looking program that hey, we wouldn't mind a few more 48-minute-long previews of.

Branded pranks around April Fools' day are, in a word, awful. But when the prank isn't a prank so much as a silly video starring Will Arnett gently rocking you to sleep with descriptions of household items, it's like, brands aren't so bad, you know?

I mean, not really. But Netflix.
