Our experiences with the internet are wildly different: for Steen it’s the gateway to overseas cricket matches, for Carlo it’s a means of accessing the transcript of the British Board of Trades inquiry into the sinking of the RMS Titanic. The Venn diagram of our two online lives intersects on comedy. Now that we live on opposite slides of the world – Carlo in Canberra and Steen in the Canberra of the North (London) – funny videos arriving at ungodly hours of the morning has become a staple of our relationship. Here’s a selection of the good times. Steen’s selection 1. Hans Teeuwen’s song about Nostradamus This is the perfect mixture of absurdism and timing. If you don’t laugh then I’m sorry that it will be the “unfunny catchy song” stuck in your head for weeks until you finally come to your senses and find it the funniest thing. 2. Saturday Night Live’s Leave Me Alurn sketch Rachel Brosnahan appears in this sketch, which is one the funniest from SNL in recent memory. If you haven’t seen it yet, you’re welcome. 3. Lazy Susan’s Sketch hotline Lazy Susan are two of the best comedy performers in the UK and their new BBC3 show is fantastic and hilarious. My favourite sketch in it is this one, about a complaint hotline for people who don’t like their show. 4. Stath Lets Flats: going out with your sister and her new boyfriend Stath Lets Flats is by far my favourite comedy series of recent memory. Jamie Demetriou is a comedic genius and this will go down as one of the greatest comedic character performances. 5. Lolly Adefope’s audition to be the new James Bond Lolly is one of the funniest people in the world. If you’ve ever seen her live, you’d agree and if you’ve ever seen her on TV you’d agree. If you’ve not done either, then I can’t take you seriously. Just watch this. Carlo’s selection 6. A Finnish instructional video on how to open a door I have avoided searching too hard to find out if this is genuine. I would so dearly love for this to have been written as a sketch. But a larger part of me wants there to have been a demand for this educational video. If it is parody, it’s absolutely incredible – to my mind, no one will ever write a more perfect sketch. 7. Your Bad Self: the lemonade sketch That this show only got one season breaks my heart. Critics hated it, you’ll love it. If you’ve not seen any of their sketches, a treasure trove awaits. 8. The Beach Boys shred I Get Around Chances are you’ve already lost yourself in the world of YouTube Shred videos. If not, welcome to the rest of your life. The edit is incredible, the claps, the clicks, the reverberations as they move – one of the all-time greats. 9. Danger 5 Danger 5 is one of the most ambitious comedies Australia has ever produced. Everything is so high stakes, so absurd and so beautifully realised. Apparently what he writes on the window here is nonsense, which makes me love it even more. Find Danger 5 and watch it all, that is my only wish. 10. Steve Martin’s tribute to Gene Kelly There is absolutely no fat on this joke, just sensational writing. Enjoy. The Bear Pack perform at the Sydney comedy festival on 29 April. Steen Raskopoulos presents Best Of (Work In Progress) on 30 April and 1 May.
