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 humor in the series. Two close friends are employed as guinea pigs for a pharmaceutical company. Each episode deals with the different "Research Products" given to the "Test Subjects". There are other stories playing throughout the seasons. ^{[citation needed]}
