Yeah, I just always had an interest in film and I'm a big comedy nerd. And so I was doing YouTube at that time and it was finally an outlet for me to create stuff that I really wanted to do, like sketch comedy or just weird skits.

I went to India for a movie shoot. I was just there for like a few months filming, and I saw a lot of big trends on Vine, and I just really wanted to make fun of them. I was like a bit of a trend hater at the time. I started parroting like big trends on Vines and just doing them in India. It was just like a weird cultural shift. Take my own spin on it.

I used to go around India and ask people if they even listen to Drake. He's been popping for a couple of years in Toronto. And like a lot of Toronto guys would be like, yo bro, do you even listen to Drake? Like it was like a thing that I just took, but then I would do that in India. and everybody would be so confused. Like, what the hell is this guy talking about? Those really started popping off.

To me, I was like, these are really easy and not that funny, but let me... Why are they so popular? Let me remake it and, like, do something absolutely dumb with it. I did, like, a Liam Neeson take-in parody. I don't think you understand. Your daughter will be dead in 24 hours.

I have this philosophy on a lot of things that I do. I think the more specific and nuanced it is and true to your experience, the harder it'll hit. Counterintuitive to whatever those boardroom algorithm people are saying. I'm always like, no, I just think the more specific it is, like that Taken series, an Indian dad getting a call that his daughter's been kidnapped.

They give a ransom and he's like, ooh, and he's trying to like discount. He's like, I don't know. People in our community are known to be, you know, bargainers. Like I remember when I was like 10, I wanted a Game Boy Advance or something. And we're like going to the store and I remember my dad trying to bargain with the GameStop employee.

And the guy's like, some teenager, he's like, this is the price. My dad's like, $50? He's like, no, it's like $110. What are you talking about? Why is my dad trying to impress me too? He's like, all right, this is what we're going to do. We're going to walk out and then he's going to call us back. And I'm like, no, that doesn't work here. They have separate, this guy's like in high school.

He doesn't care if you buy it or not. And so, you know, it's just like taking those experiences and plugging them into like,

The way you made Vines back in the day, back when it first started, was you could not do second takes. You had to get everything there. So you would record for a little bit and then you'd stop recording. You would record for a little bit and that would be like editing. It would be like editing a video, but it would be in real time.

If you messed up, if you got somebody saying go in the beginning, you had to start all the way over. And if you were making just a silly little comedy video in your house, that wasn't a big deal.
