A new sketch comedy series coming to YouTube's video subscription service Red will look for the funny in BuzzFeed quizzes, ride-hailing service Uber and other facets of digital culture.

"Bad Internet" features an ensemble cast that includes YouTube personalities iJustine, Rosanna Pansino and the comedy duo Smosh -- along with actors from television roles, including Will Arnett, who played Gob Bluth on "Arrested Development," and Jack McBrayer, best-known as the relentlessly cheery NBC page on "30 Rock."

The show is one of a handful of original series placed behind YouTube's paywall, which, for a $10 monthly fee, also provides ad-free videos and uninterrupted music.

The 10-episode series premieres May 25.

Here's the trailer:
