The pilot episode of Tragedy + Time flips through a handful of animated worlds, each more confidently broken than the last. A military office spirals over naming conventions. A suburban retiree reviews wines inspired by historical catastrophes. A Grim Reaper endures subway delays, Zoom meetings, and the realization that death is now an office job. Awkward party conversations, therapy sessions with farm animals, and stray internet videos drift between sketches, resurfacing where they don’t belong. Static and signal loss interrupt the broadcast, but the jokes persist—migrating, mutating, and occasionally colliding. The episode plays like a channel you didn’t mean to stop on but can’t quite turn off, revealing a shared universe held together by repetition, bad systems, and the uncomfortable sense that none of this is actually temporary.
