Because life happens between the bad news
Move over, Friends.
Step aside, The Office.
The next sitcom taking the world by storm in 2025 is “Scroll Pains”!
A show that dives headfirst into the absurdity of modern life spent glued to our screens, overwhelmed by doom and gloom. It’s equal parts hilarious, cringe-worthy, and a bit too real for comfort.
Meet the Cast of Characters Who Can’t Stop Doomscrolling
Debbie Doomchart (played by that actor who specializes in “panic with precision” roles)
Debbie’s the friend you turn to when you want to know just how bad the situation is. Armed with a collection of color-coded charts, Debbie tracks everything from rising sea levels to the most likely apocalypse scenarios—because “knowledge is power,” even if it keeps you awake at night.
“Deep Dive” Duggan (portrayed by a star known for their conspiracy-laden side-eye)
Duggan has a PhD in YouTube Algorithms and a minor in “TikTok Rabbit Holes.” Always clutching a coffee mug labeled “Truth Seeker,” Duggan insists aliens are running the stock market and that pigeons are actually government drones.
Liv Laughter (the breakout comedy star you didn’t know you needed)
Liv believes every cloud has a silver lining—and if it doesn’t, she’ll knit one herself. A self-proclaimed “positivity guru,” Liv spends her days spamming the group chat with inspirational memes like “Keep Calm and Scroll On” and recommending yoga for existential dread.
Cassie Dreadmore (played by an actor who oozes dramatic intensity)
A clickbait journalist who simultaneously loathes and thrives on chaos, Cassie is perpetually late to brunch because she’s chasing breaking news about “The Five Foods That Will Kill You Yesterday.” Her headlines have a 90% accuracy rate of ruining your day.
Taylor Sensible (the straight-faced comedic foil everyone needs)
Taylor is the voice of reason in the group, though nobody listens to her sensible advice until something goes spectacularly wrong. Whether suggesting a group detox or reminding Duggan that pigeons do exist, Taylor’s logic always falls on deaf ears.
Maggie LOLstein (a TikTok sensation turned sitcom darling)
Maggie’s coping mechanism is simple: meme it or scream it. Whether it’s turning Debbie’s apocalyptic charts into viral GIFs or launching a parody song about doom scrolling, Maggie brings comic relief—and a solid Wi-Fi connection—to every disaster.
Comment McTroll (a surprise cameo from a real-life internet troll)
Every friend group has a Comment, the person who just has to argue in the comments section of every post, even if it’s about the weather. Comment’s snarky one-liners and never-ending battles with strangers online keep the group endlessly entertained—and mildly horrified.
Plotlines That Will Have You Hooked
“The Great Social Media Detox Challenge“: Taylor dares the group to give up their phones for a week, leading to real-life awkwardness when attempting actual conversations and everyone trying to “like” a friend’s story with an actual thumbs-up gesture.
“Algorithmic Overlords“: Duggan becomes convinced all algorithms are targeting him personally when he starts to believe he needs feminine hygiene products. Cassie publishes an exposé, and chaos ensues.
“Meme-a-geddon“: Maggie’s meme goes so viral that Debbie’s charts end up featured in a global conference on existential dread.
What The Critics Are Saying!
Whether you’re Liv, forcing optimism on your doomscrolling friends, or Cassie, spiraling into every negative headline, “Scroll Pains” holds up a mirror to our digitally dependent lives. – The Times
Laugh Through the Pain! With its sharp wit and satirical take on modern habits, “Scroll Pains” makes even the bleakest news cycle funny. (Who knew you could laugh about the flat earth reptilian government that planned the JFK assassination?) – The Other Times
“Scroll Pains” is like trying to read the news while holding a phone upside down—confusing, frustrating, and yet somehow oddly hilarious. This show proves that sometimes, the real chaos is just a swipe away. – Still Another Times
Tune in to Scroll Pains this fall. Because if we’re going to doomscroll anyway, we might as well laugh about it.
