Why does everyone feel so clever saying Garth Marenghi's Darkplace (which correct me if I'm wrong is more like a medical supernatural drama takes place in a hospital) when it's so blindingly obvious it's Isaac Asimov, Unsolved Mysteries, Arthur C Clarke's Mysterious Worlds?
Also, shout to Club 21, Portland's finest gnome fortress / drinking establishment.
After the poor adaptation of the UK "The Office" series, they seem to be on a copy-spree. This rendition is clearly copied from the "Garth Marenghi's Darkplace"-series which depicts a 80's horror-comedy including intentional bad acting. These series are viewed from the perspective of a fictional character called Garth Marenghi (author of horror books, the paranormal and occult) and investigates paranormal events in a hospital called Darkplace.
@golanhall yeah and I suppose Isaac Asimov (who this is so ridiculously perfectly a visual copy of), Arthur C Clarke's Mysterious Worlds, Unsolved Mysteries, Piers Anthony, Orson Welles Great Mysteries, all used a time machine to go out of their way and rip off the UK comedy scene too, right?
Your character looks so much like the hermetic librarian here in Portland. Go to the hermetic library on twitter and check out the librarian's personal tweets. He lives on a mushroom commune just outside of PDX. Seriously, these characters exist.
Who is this guy? HA! Classic. Love the serious look and the quick head movements, porkchop sideburns and more. Simply comcal. Port - land... Huh? Thanks Rain..

Garth Marenghi? Get that limey shite out of here.
Besides, this is an obvious spoof on Sightings, a true American classic.
