Five of the Funniest YouTube Sketch Comedies
Get straight to the good stuff with CP's list of the top five sketch comedy YouTube channels.
A lot of sketch comedy on YouTube can be well...stupid. Not saying that these channels aren't, but they are definitely of the good (and funny) variety.
Concrete Playground has come up with the cream of the crop as far as comedic YouTube videos go. Check them out whenever you need a laugh; there's parodies and hilarity galore.
1. Barely Political
The guys behind Barely Political are best known for their politically charged parodies, of "I Got a Crush...on Obama" fame. They also produce a number of sketch comedy series;'The Key of Awesome', however, is definitely the most popular. Making fun of everything and everyone, Barely Political's videos show that no one is off limits. If you like parody songs and sheer ridiculousness, this channel is for you.
2. 5 Second Films
These five-second-long films are "wasting your time, but not much". If you didn't think five seconds of one of these goofy skits is enough to make you laugh, you'll be proved wrong. We dare you to try and just watch one.
3. UCB Comedy
If Saturday Night Live or The Office make you laugh, chances are so will the folks at Upright Citizens Brigade. Finding ridiculous in the everyday, these films will reveal humourous moments of truth amidst their hilarity.
4. Smosh
Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox team up in these ludicrous pop-culture parodies. Over-the-top, always. Dull, never. The duo has several series under their belts, and are working on an upcoming cartoon series.
5. Funny or Die
Founded by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay, this site is spot-on comedy. Content is generated by high-profile contributors and skits often feature funny celebs. Stellar series include 'Between the Ferns', 'Billy on the Street', and 'Drunk History'.
