Okay, if we ignore his mispronunciation for a second, I have to admit it'd make a decent rage face.

In case you missed it, Alan Tudyk and Nathan Fillion have been raising money on Indiegogo for a web series based on their experiences in the world of fandom.  In just three days, they've already raised $1,580,086 (their goal was $425k), and to celebrate they've released a trailer.

The trailer features Tudyk's character in an airport bathroom on his way to a convention having an awkward interaction with a fan, and it's pretty darn funny.

Set humor to ludicrous speed!

No, the former Firefly star isn't a grifter, he's just an actor who's tired of making his living by going to conventions to support a show that was canceled a decade ago. If that's not meta enough, the trailer also features Nathan Fillion, Gina Torres, Joss Whedon and Sean Maher.

In fact you should get mad points if you can name all of the nerdy cameos.

Except, you know, it's totally about Firefly. The comedy series is called "Con Man," and is absolutely not about the actors in Firefly and their lives after the show. Here's the series official description:

Wray Nerely (Alan Tudyk) was a co-star on Spectrum, a sci-fi series which was canceled -Too Soon- yet became a cult classic. Wray's good friend, Jack Moore (Nathan Fillion) starred in the series and has gone on to become a major movie star. While Jack enjoys the life of an A-lister, Wray tours the sci-fi circuit as a guest of conventions, comic book stores, and lots of pop culture events. The show will feature all the weird and crazy things that happen to Wray along the way to these events.

If you'd like to learn more or support the show, check out their Indiegogo campaign here.

Angel really might be my least favorite character in all the Whedonverse, but then again, I was team Spuffy so maybe my opinion is a bit biased.
