Don't Make Me Slap You!
From my Comedy YouTube channel
My latest Q & A Video!
Watch my parodies too!»Offending people is good and you should do it!

Entertainment is all about coming up with good material that gets attention and a reaction, and that is exactly what I was trying to do with the comedy videos that were meant to be part of the second season of Brothers TV. We knew people had high expectations for a TV show, not just from the performers but also for the quality of the content. In the end we gave up on the TV process and since I’m all about YouTube now, it just made sense to release them there instead.
The latest video, H.O.M.O. – the gay bank, is one of my favorites from this series of sketches. Watching a bank commercial is always a bit of a guilty pleasure (like watching a train wreck) and so we played around that idea for this skit. We made it about a bank that caters specifically to gay men because really, why not take one stereotype (what we think of bank commercials) and mix it with another stereotype (what we think of gay men). Sounds like a recipe for comedy to me! 
You may be familiar with the Capital One campaign that ran for a while about bankers always having their hands in your pockets. Well, that’s what started off this video. What would it be like if having bankers hands in your pockets wasn’t such a bad thing…
My videos have definitely become more and more risque, but it’s not by accident. A lot of people found my Father Lover video pretty offensive for its raunchy lyrics and subject matter, and it’s turned out to be one of my most successful videos with over four hundred thousand views. While Father Lover sparked some debate and got flack from some people, it did encourage a lot of interaction among the viewers.
So go ahead and check out this latest video and if I’m lucky, it’ll offend you at least just a little bit and maybe you’ll leave a comment and tell a friend. 
What do you think? Do you agree that pushing the envelope is the way to go to get more attention? What do you think of the subject matter in this video?
