30 Rock’s John Lutz finds that ice cream sales are sadly sluggish in February

John Lutz of 30 Rock and Tim Robinson of Saturday Night Live both specialize in playing sad-eyed schmoes who are just a beat or two behind the rest of the world. So the two comic actors are right in their element on The Cream Brothers, a new three-episode web series for Above Average. Lutz and Robinson portray the bickering title siblings, two perennial underachievers who are facing down middle age as they prepare to launch a risky new business venture. Unfortunately for them, their mutual decision to purchase an ice cream truck in the middle of February does not seem to be based on any sound financial practices or market research. The two are as unlucky in love as they are in business, with Robinson pining hopelessly for the proprietress of a local muffin shop and Lutz going through a nasty divorce.
