uh like relieved yeah like oh my god someone's doing it like someone's telling these people that we're not all Sofia Vergara copy pasted uh we are we are you know we're very different and I do think it's changed I think that when I started doing internet comedy dude that was like

I hate saying this. I was 10 years ago, okay? I couldn't even say it. It was 10 years ago. And that era of the internet was really different. And even the barriers to entry to make content on the internet was very different. Now you have like editing software on your freaking phone. I see Venezuelans in the middle of like the Amazon uploading videos with their capibadas. Yes. And their chihuris. Yes. And so like...

There was a time when it wasn't that easy to access the internet and publish and edit. And now I think there's like more variety out there. But right when I began, these big companies like BuzzFeed and CollegeHumor, they were making all these really funny sketches. And sort of like no one was talking about like, oh, there's like other types of people that could be doing this and be very specific about their content. And I remember I made a video called the Venezuelan Birthday Song.

Ja jos olisit kertonut minulle vuoden aiemmin, että olisit tekemässä internet-videota... Pitäkää yhden minuutin, koska minun lapseni oli luotu keväällä ja Astrid on vain lopettanut elokuvan nyt. Jos haluat, voimme odottaa hänet. Se voi olla toinen kaksi tuntia. Se on todella luonnollista. Minä olen niin onnellinen, että tiedät tämän. Tiedän tämän. Kristi, en tiedä, jos tiedät tämän. En tiedä elokuvan elokuvan.

It is... I'm not fucking with you. It is, I think, nine minutes long. It's crazy. Can you imagine? It's insane. You sit there. You sit there. There's no candle that can outlast it. So don't light the candles until you're halfway through. You sit there for nine minutes. And people are screaming and clapping. It's not even like happy, but it's like... It's like you're being exercised.

So if you had told me a year before, like, you're going to make a video, you're going to hire opera singers, you're going to hire a cast and crew, and you're going to shoot a video called The Eternal Venezuelan Birthday Song, I would have been like, who would watch that, though? No one's going to watch that. It had 8 million views in 24 hours, because when you're on the internet, you do have your audience. The more specific you get, the better results you have. So it sort of showed, I think, a lot of...

Ja moni muu latinalainen luomakäyttäjä, joka tuli tuohon ajan, teki saman. Mutta mielestäni se näyttää ihmisiä, että ei tarvitse olla yleinen markkina. Ei tarvitse olla... Hei, minä olen... Ashley. Ashley, ensimmäinen internet-video, jonka tein, oli nimeltä Middle Class White Chick, jonka tein ystäväni kanssa. Koska olin niin, että luulen, että voin haastaa sitä, mitä näytän. Ja se ei tehnyt niin hyvin. Ja sitten, tietysti, koska en tiedä, mitä olin... Minä olin niin, että uggs. Mitä riippuu uggsista? Teemme kappaleen uggsista.

Mutta mielestäni se näyttää ihmisille, että yleisö on yliopistossa. Se on hyvin monimutkainen. Voit olla todella yksinkertainen. On rikkoja ja rikkoja. Se on se, mitä he sanovat. On rikkoja ja rikkoja. Sam, oletko sinä tullut siihen? Olen tullut. Olen sanonut sen pitkän ajan, mutta olen vain sanonut sen.

I mean, I love those guys. So the Broken Lizard guys, you know, they've been around forever. They're, you know, icons in comedy. But like, you know, they're very different than me. Obviously, like they're dude comedy. And their show's about a bunch of firefighters in the rainiest city in America, Tacoma. And it's...

There's a bunch of dudes called Mike in the writer's room. I think there's more Mikes than women. Steve Lemmi, who is one of the show creators, is actually from Argentina. They were looking for a new writer. I think they were specifically looking for a female writer. In the interview, I guess they read my sample. In the interview, I started...

I was making fun of Steve Lemmi because he's Argentinian. I was like, oh, now Steve, you think you're all this shit, right? Because you're from Argentina. And he was like, wait, why are you tagging me? I'm interviewing you. I'm actually going to be your boss. You realize that, don't you? I was like, dude, Argentinians. And I started, you know...

Aloitin raskata hänet hieman. En tiedä, onko se se syy, jota haluaisin uskoa, mutta erityisesti se oli paljon sellaista liittyvää laatinkulttuuriin. Monet ihmisiä eivät tiedä, että hänen isänsä on Argentinassa. Puhuimme siitä, ja edelleen kutsumme häntä, kutsun häntä Boludo. Se on semmoinen ystävyys, jota minulla oli Tacomaissa.

He olivat niin hyviä ja hyviä, ja minulla oli todella hyvä aika työskennellä tuohon esitykseen, ja olin oppinut paljon. He olivat todella opittaneet minulle paljon rakentamisesta ja siitä, miten työskennellä kirjoittajana. Olemme tehneet tätä pandemian aikana.

It was like, you know, it was all remote and we were able to make a show and obviously they bore the brunt of it as the creators and executive producers, but they were able to make a show in the middle of a pandemic. Crazy. Following the rules. They're badass. Yeah.
