In December 2019 Lapenko published the movie series Within Lapenko on YouTube.{{cite news |last1=Максимов |first1=Егор |title=СССР жив: "Внутри Лапенко" — комедийное YouTube-шоу в псевдосоветском стиле |url=https://www.maximonline.ru/humor/_article/sssr-zhiv-vnutri-lapenko-komediinoe-youtube-shou-v-psevdosovetskom-stile/ |work=Maxim Online |date=December 16, 2019 |language=Russian}}{{cite news |title=Назад в СССР: актер-блогер покорил Интернет ностальгическими видео |url=https://sm-news.ru/nazad-v-sssr-akter-bloger-pokoril-internet-nostalgicheskimi-video-44834/ |work=Sm News |date=December 23, 2019 |language=Russian |access-date=December 29, 2019 |archive-date=December 24, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191224161413/https://sm-news.ru/nazad-v-sssr-akter-bloger-pokoril-internet-nostalgicheskimi-video-44834/ |url-status=dead }} The series were created by him (he also played all of the characters) alongside comedian Aleksei Smirnov (the screenwriter and film director). The plot is based on the life and adventures of characters from Lapenko's Instagram videos. According to the authors' presentation of the series, it is styled like late Soviet movies and isn't set in a particular time, but rather features a universe which combines the 1980s and 1990s.{{cite web |title="About" page of Lapenko's youtube channel |url=https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3P2xNP1eppZFwCYUS7qD7Q/about |publisher=youtube.com |language=Russian |accessdate = December 29, 2019}}
Egor Maksimov from Maxim Online referred to the series as a parody of all genres of Soviet TV. Lapenko is compared to Leonid Gaidai and to Monty Python, not in the least due to his absurdist humour.{{cite news |last1=Карпова |first1=Валерия |title=Внутри Лапенко: феномен новой комедии |url=https://cinetexts.ru/lapenko |work=Кинотексты |date=February 9, 2020 |language=Russian}}
"Within Lapenko" doesn't intend to develop a powerful storyline or strong plot constructions; its focus is rather on an intriguing central character and absurd situations that he experiences.{{cite journal |last1=Prokhorov |first1=Artem |title=Russian web series: Mastering the new format. |journal=Journal of Screenwriting |date=2021 |volume=12 |issue=1 |pages=25–37 |doi=10.1386/josc_00046_1|s2cid=233855368 }}
