[@nathanmiller1456]

They've basically created a new genre, "Prestige Sketch Comedy".

[@shaneroberts7700]

I really want to know who is bankrolling these sketches. Since the beginning they seem to have huge budgets, licensed popular music and big sponsorship deals for the amount of subs they've have. They're repped by a prestigious talent agency as well. Either way they're great but it's a little strange for a new channel.

[@johndarroch1371]

​@@shaneroberts7700they're owned/backed by Mark Cuban and have done a bunch of work for major brands. I believe they started with $6 million in seed funding.

[@darien9119]

I feel like we've all been here. Won the game no one thought we could win, got the girl, got carried away beating up her ex-boyfriend, went to prison, got a life sentence, escaped, found a bunch of money buried in someone's backyard, tried to give it back to mom, went to a school and played out the entire thing in our imagination, and then got taken down by a SWAT team.
