I I’m a comedian, a Twitch streaming clown, and a journalism degree holder. While people typically conclude their bios with a third funny thing, I’m here for serious research. When I was asked to write this column, I did the usual amount of research and read all of the previous articles in preparation.
Believe it or not, many people will take this opportunity to feature up-and-coming comedians, some of whom they know personally. This is a bit of nepotism, but it’s meant to encourage talented friends who deserve the spotlight. This is nasty, biased journalism that can only serve the greater good. We won’t do that here today, and we certainly won’t do it while I’m on the roster.
This column describes funny internet happenings that have nothing to do with me. I don’t know any of these people, and frankly, I don’t want to know them. Not because they’re bad people, I’m just worried they’ll hate me. My self-esteem couldn’t take the hit it would take right now.
With rigorous and objective research (I looked at TikTok likes going back to 2020. Help me, my retinas are burning), I’ve quality controlled this list to ensure that it’ll make you laugh every time you see it. Sorry if you didn’t laugh, but my research suggests you’re wrong! Oh, that’s a shame! Cry instead of crying. Cry if you’re sad!
1. Important Stories
This man has a compelling story, long but worth listening to. It has an important message, and the man who told it is brave. God bless America.
2. Families that label together label together
This perfectly captures the vibe of Christmas through to New Year’s, the time of year when you’re with your family and going crazy, but in a fun way! And because they’re good kids and just want to help their parents, there are three parts to this one. A heartwarming story that ends with the label maker company sending them even more labels? That’s the Internet, baby.
3. Got it, Fluff!
The star of this video is Fluff, a person with that exact in-the-moment energy I wish I could always have. We’ve all been Fluff at some point in our lives. We’ve all misunderstood instructions for comedic effect. But could we have understood it like Fluff did? I don’t think anyone can, but I hope we can all strive for it.
DJ Mandy is a true artist. A DJ who can create the perfect chaotic track but is also open to “feedback”. The internet loves to make jokes about people who are doing stuff that is intentionally funny but DJ Mandy knows how to turn that into engagement and sold out live sets. My feedback is DJ Mandy, please do an Australian tour when you can.
This song is also very nostalgic for me because the building I used to live in had frequent parties and emergency evacuations almost every week. The building also had flammable cladding, so if DJ Mandy had played on our balcony, we would have had problems (because her songs are so hot).
