I mentioned this to a couple of people and they sounded not-just-being-polite interested, so I’d like to share a moment of joy I had last week. But it needs context. I need to introduce you to a couple of YouTube sketch comedians I enjoy.

The first is Ryan George who does a fairly popular series called Pitch Meeting. But he also does stuff on his own channel like Time Travelling Reporter and The First Guy To....

The second is Julie Nolke who did Explaining The Pandemic To My Past Self Part 1 and Part 2 which went pretty viral (ahem) a few months ago. But she's also done a bunch of other stuff, and has series like The Two Sides Of My Brain.

Although the subject of their work is different, their styles are similar and the type of comedy - clever and slightly surreal - are a good match. And they’re both Canadian. So I’ve thought for a while that I’d really to see them collab.

And they did! Two videos, The First Couple To Ever Get Married, and The First Couple To Ever Get Divorced.

It's not much, but it's 2020, so I'll take what I can get.

Writer: Yes sir, I do!

Producer: What's it about?

Writer: Well, it's for the newest episode of our YouTube series, "BoJo derps a Brexit", and this one is about the upcoming trade deal with Australia.

Writer: How are we going to make this episode then? Do we have some kind of ability to deepfake over another actor?

Producer: Actually, funny you should bring that up...

MUSICAL STING

END.

(Thanks to Ryan George's Pitch Meetings for the format inspiration and running gags!)
