Original shows seem to be very popular now. Video streaming sites are trying to snatch up their own original series and specials every single day. Vimeo recently joined that business late last year with their announcement that they're producing original shows such as Jake Hurwitz and Amir Blumenfeld's Lonely and Horney and the Paul Scheer, Rob Huebel comedy special Crash Test.

Now the artsy streamer is set to premiere a show from funny people John Early and Kate Berlant called 555. Splitsider writes that the series is made up of five short films and is produced by Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim. The trailer is bonkers and no words can really describe what's going on. But Kate and John are very funny so this show would be a no-brainer to watch. Find it streaming on Vimeo on January 31.
