Premise
The series follows two friends (Steve Markle and Jeff Kassel) as they work as human test subjects at Testico, a product testing facility. Besides being an obvious play on testes – including the descended double "e" in its logo – the show's title plays up the vulnerability of test subjects, which is the source of much of the humour in the series.
