New Yorkers are known, at least stereotypically, for their self-centered behavior and arrogant attitudes toward other cultures. The blog Humans of New York has looked to counter that stereotype by painting New Yorkers and a diverse and colorful bunch, but now, in turn, a new web series has arrived to satirize that portrayal. It’s called People of New York, and it’s a clear Humans of New York parody that paints its subjects as egotistical attention-seekers.
In each People of New York episode, series creator Jessie Komitor takes on a new persona. While all of her characters share the same itch to get in front of the camera, they live within wildly different circumstances, and Komitor avoids a common web series trap by stepping outside the world of young, creative types in the big city. In one episode, she’s a nagging mom. In another, she’s a tough-talking Bronx resident.
