January 12th Launch Party for the Web Series at Videology in Brooklyn
“By far the best pilot I saw this year was Becky Yamamoto’s Uninspired... Yamamoto’s very much working in the cringe-comedy vein, but she’s got a great eye for detail and ways to embarrass her character” - AV Club
"...pleasantly refreshed by Yamamoto’s comedy. Much of it is embedded in cues within her dialogue that make you smile and think "God damn it, same!". BUST
"...it’s a perfect example of the kind of relatable, yet uniquely personal comedy product that resonates because it rings so true". - Splitsider

While in the midst of her millennial ennui, she spends time with an old enemy, breaks up with her boyfriend and continues working at a mind-numbing job.

Real life gets worse as er ex boyfriend moves on without her and she walks hand in hand into the sunset with a random guy she meets at a cafe.
