"Knock Knock. Who's there? Not your Mom!"
I know that I REALLY shouldn't be laughing, but that was hysterical! 🤣😂
it's all cringe
My dad passed away a few weeks ago and I honestly didn't expect to find this so incredibly funny, I legit laughed out loud. You've made my day brighter. :)
Thank you for sharing this Yoana.
Knock, knock?
I remember going to a funeral of a friends father, and I approached the family and said “I apologize” instead of “sorry for your loss.” If I could have switched places with the guy in the coffin I would have at that moment. 😅
A few years ago my uncle passed away. I was going to the funeral with my parents so I showed up at their house in a suit. It was my mother's brother and she was one of 12 siblings. My Mom said "You look so nice. I don't get to see you dressed up that often." I gave her a hug and said "Don't worry, you have plenty of brothers and sisters left."
A combined massage and funeral parlour sounds like a solid business plan.
we call that a mullet business
I think massage should be offered when getting taxes done, or going to court. There are just times you need that
and bar
Make it an erotic massage parlour combined with a crematorium, call it Come as They Go.
@@ShaunCheah Or "Happy Endings".
Man that first sketch.
Julie really had egg on her face.
haha yup
Omg it took me seeing this comment to understand the cold open 😮
I didn't understand the first sketch, but now i think I understand it a little bit more ... but not sure
A few hours after my grandmother died, my wife (of 2 months)'s mother died. My grandmother was 94 and was in onvious decline, so everyone understood that my mother-in-law's death was "more tragic." But it was still really weird when we flew to Ohio for my Grandmother's funeral, someone my wife had met like 3 times, and everyone kept telling her how sorry they were. The whole experience of flying from home to one funeral and then back home for a second one was just very surreal.
My grandmother passed a week ago and I have a separate funeral to attend in two days. Loved this. Also, after I had been in the room with a friend as she died of cancer, I had another friend write me a letter about his experience of his cat dying...so, yeah.
Last year someone close passed very suddenly and tragically, and this skit was uncomfortably accurate to my experience lol. Especially the people sobbing to me who had never met her. Well done!
Thank you Zachary
That hug almost got a tear out of me. The rest got tears of laughter. Yous are awesome! I've never been to a funeral either.
Decades from now at a furenal a small group of people are conversing as a man approaches, silently waiting until a break in the conversation as he then pipes up "So how do you all know Michael?" The group looks about at each other and one person speaks " I was watching a very old video where he invited everyone to his furnel, I assume that most of the people are hear because of that video?". The group then nods and mummers in agreement. The man slowly slips away and begins moving between groups of people for what seemed like hours only to find that all of the guests were here due to that video. The man being a proud great grandson is filled with joy.
Mad respect for the jokes at a funeral line being drawn at Louis C.K. bits
People don't realize the power of the hug especially a random one. A good hug can turn a bad day into a better one and a good one into the best one.
While I understand the kind intent behind this sentiment, I feel it’s important to add that any hugs, including random or unplanned, should always be preceded by CONSENT. Not everyone is comfortable with or has their day improved by unexpected touching, for any number of reasons. I’m one of those people; a “random” hug out of the blue without my consent is traumatic and can be physically painful or even damaging for me, not helpful or lovely. So please, always ask first: “Would you like a hug?” or “May I give you a hug?” If you get a yes, go on and make that person’s day brighter! And if you get a no…make that person’s day brighter by respecting their boundaries and letting them know you care! Thank you 🥰
@@literaterose6731 I agree with you 100% you worded it perfectly. To me it goes without saying because even I would not be comfortable with just a random hug from just anyone so yes it should be preceded with consent.
Thank you for the warning of what not to do at a funeral. ;-) The last one I went to was the funeral of a friend that committed suicide. That definitely had an impact on how we all felt. "Why didn't we know? What could we have done?" Etc... Great skit from you all again, but I think I always love your after-skit chats. You were geniuses to have that as part of the format. It's what makes this work and is so enjoyable.
In my teens, 3 of my grandparents died. An interesting irony I noticed about their funerals was that in each case my impacted parent and their siblings were the calm ones consoling their extended family and family friends who were sobbing.
That happened at my mother's funeral, too. I think part of the reason is that the people who were really close to the person have been processing the death while they were preparing for the funeral, the people who are more distantly connected are just coming to terms with the death at that moment.
What not to say?
"I should have said something earlier... but I really, really need his kidney." 😱🤣⚰
I lost my mom and I STILL suck at knowing what to say. It’s wild
Nat: "he needs this....(trailing off) waaaaaahhhhhhhhh..." 🤣🤣
Hilariously and epically terrible! 🤦♂️ You all have a way of shining some light on awkward situations! 😂. The chicken faces and skit was also ridiculously funny!
Nailed it! My mom died unexpectedly this year and we had a "celebration of life" gathering at the family home. Generally, everyone was very nice and supportive, old friends came from long distances to pay their respects. My poor dad, though - he is in a wheelchair and got totally pinned down from this lady from town that none of us really knew. I think she was lonely - maybe she thought she needed to get in on the only single octogenarian around, who knows?! His old friends kept trying to get a word in edgeways, but to no avail..
At my funeral (or more likely the after-funeral services), there needs to be a party with different themed rooms. Like one room for board games, one room for watching cheesy horror movies, one room for making/taking funny photos, one room for face painting, and other stuff like that.
1. Can I smoke in here? I mean, it's a cremation, right? I assume smoking is allowed!
2. Imagine waking up in a coffin. Are you 100% sure she's dead?
3. Lucky for her there's no afterlife - because she was 'not' going to Heaven!
4. Zombie impression.
5. Time is a great healer - but not nearly as great as tequila!

My personal favorite is when you're receiving condolences and someone asks you how the dead person is doing...ummm, not great. I've had that happen to me several times. Usually gets delirious laughter, until they realize what they've said, then you have to console them. 🤣🤣
6:32 that was an awesome moment lol and could totally be used in a sketch or a movie lol
The intro sketch are freakin genius! Love them! Keep up the great work!
Not Julie laughing 😯😂😂😂 funniest shit ever😂
Dude's working through his emotions right before our very eyes 😆
My family and I first attended my late grandad's funeral party when I was 11 years old at his house but we had a sleepover there. Such a fun experience to see him in the last days before the burial. Never forget these happy and sad times together with him. He's my best friend in life. Love you and enjoy your time in your new world.❤🙂🙏
That was a perfect setup for Natalie losing her shit and the awkward hug! The build from Natalie's, "follow me", through the end had me guffawing!
I remember hearing as a kid that ‘funerals bring people out like cockroaches’ … and over the years I have totally seen that to be true!
I think this has been my favorite episode so far, and they're all hilarious!
I love how you took the running bit of mom dying and made it the sketch this week.
At my father's funeral someone mistook me for an usher, and later after ceremonies someone sugested I had unknown children... yup.
I don't give a sh what my funeral will be like. It's not for me anyway.
I honestly dont know what I'm feeling after that opener. But, hey, at least I'm feeling something!
I was not mentally prepared for that knock knock joke! Literally did a spit take on it!
If I died I just hope my wife cares enough to pay someone to cry at my funeral.
Julie is the devil on your shoulder, and you should be grateful for it.
The intro made me belly laugh. So silly 😜
Oh wow, the "at my mom's funeral 1,000 people came" thing had me laughing hysterically
I really don't know how you manage to keep a straight face during most of the sketches. You must have done multiple takes, especially of the funeral scene! 🤣
My mother passed away about 15 years ago. One of my managers (who I’d told my dad for years about being just an awful, miserable old lady) attended. She walks up to my dad during the part where people walk through the line to pay respects to the family/deceased and I can’t make this up…looks at my dad who she had never met previously and says, “you just got to move on sweetheart. I know it’s tough, but you just got to pack up their stuff and get rid of it. Don’t go wallowing in the past.”
Then proceeded to give him this half hug. She of course says her condolences to me and moves on down the line. My father barely waited for her to be out of earshot when he turned to me and said “Jesus Christ, lady. Can we put her in the ground first?” Me and my brothers had all we could do from not busting out in tears…but not from sadness.
I would have ended it at 4:30 with the dude on the left saying, with tears in his eyes, "I learned a great lesson today. All your friends are AWFUL."
The chat afterward was great.
Julie’s face at 2:45 will give me nightmares
I feel uniquely qualified as a Scotsman in the GTA to tell Julie it's pronounced 'laird' rather than lord! Best episode yet BTW.
As per IT Crowd, I've learned not to say "I'm sorry for your loss. Move on." But this is alot worse lol
I sent this video to two of my best friends. One lost his father and the other lost his mother, I thought it would make them laugh
I would want an episode where past Julie calls the future Julie for life updates but future Julie is dead so the past julie is 'ghosted' XD
That was the best one so far. Well done!
I want a "Who Done it?" Party at my Funeral
AW this one made me tear up, that was a really sweet moment!
great idea !... when i die, i want to have my funeral at a massage parlor... thanks for the idea pulp comedy you're the best !
More skits on uncomfortable and awkward 😬 situations.
Genius!!!! 😅
It's interesting to hear their perspectives. Different cultures are so different in how they deal with funerals.
I've been to many funerals and haven't had many awkward experiences.
Good sketch! Yeah funerals are always weird, I just try not to talk in general, and if I do it's just about the deceased, but I haven't been to too many fortunately. Very funny intro skit once again, it weirded me out, but I guess that was the goal xD
"My son Beau died in Afghanistan"... while continually looking at his watch.
Tbh the whispering feels way more threatening
"My Uncle said I know she was your Mum but I knew her longer"
"Well he's not wrong"
"Not her brother"
Oh! That was hilarious!
I found myself getting angry at the funerals while listening to things people said about the deceased. So much of it was just _fake_ and _superficial_ . I suppose some maybe didn't really know what to say, but some just came across as wanting to be attached to the deceased more than they really were - like they were subtly trying to make it about themselves.
I ALWAYS skip integrations…but that mic quality got in my head and I watched the whole thing
I've had far too many funerals in my life and I relate to this content a ton. I want my funeral to be a giant food fest/buffet situation and my casket would be at the top of a small ziggurat in the center so that people can come up and look/talk to my body if they want but don't have to see me if they don't want to.
I am not going to have one. I have told my family they can do one of 2 things. Cremate me and then toss me in the trashcan on the way out after they call to pick up the ashes or let them be abandoned or they can call someone to dig a hole in the back yard and dispose of me in said hole after they call for a death certificate. Each are very cheap and will lessen the strain on everyone. When people ask about me people will just say he passed x long ago. Its far healthier when people hear about it later as it lessen the blow.
I have been to a number of funerals, from ones that fill up the entire school gym with almost the entire community showing up. In the thousands to one where no one showed up other than the host, myself and my two guest. I know the hardship they have on people.
@@kameljoe21 For my sister's this year we did a very non-traditional thing which I liked a lot better than your standard funeral. She and I were both very into food and cooking so we did a potluck and then a remembrance/sharing time after.
@@CookinWithSquirrl That is nice. I have been to a number of funerals over the years. Of every type. The standard type ones suck I was so board that I fell asleep at my girlfriends grandparents funeral. They just had to drag on and on and on enough to put me to sleep. I was not the only one. Couple of other people in our row along with a few in the row ahead of use and of what I see in a number of the other rows. The head jerk is a clear sign of someone falling asleep.
Thank you.
Best representation of (in)proper funeral behavior is "Giggle loop" - see Coupling S01E03 😎
So interesting to see things from the girlfriend's perspective: Just one continuous fight to stop the funeral from becoming Eyes Wide Shut.
Your intros are so fun!!!
that Knock Knock joke!
"Follow my lead"
This was so funny! Funerals can be uncomfortable- I've been to more than I care to count🥺 I'm the one that tries to tell funny memories I have of the deceased while bawling my eyes out at the same time lol🤷♀️
Ah, the fFulfillment of the running gag. WhichWasNotfFunnyI'mSorryfForYourLossMichael. The sketch is very fFunny though! EXTREMELY relatable!!!
thanks for watching!
Great sketch. Natalie, there are professional mourners you can hire and they will cry at your funeral and make a scene if you like. Something to think about? 🤔😆
Although it may not have been a life-or-death situation, nothing kills a funeral service more than serving finger sandwiches with toothpicks in them.
Awesome as always, extra great that we're getting to know all the team and their talents. I want to know what Nat was gonna say before being interrupted by Christian (no shade intended).
Also i think the while design of your show is very cleverly done. A short, the main thing, then discussion with an ad snuck in the middle, then the discussion. Genius.
PS Fully appreciated the whispered ad lol
"I'm here when you need me" is an empty promise-voucher a freshly bereaved person won't know what to do with. It's also often not an earnest offer. It's not a good thing to say in such a situation in my opinion.
The egg, of course
My grandmother's funeral was the first time I experienced this and it really is awful. Buutttttt...my niece somehow made the constant asking of "What's g-maw doing?" go from terribly sad to actually a funny way to explain death and life to a bunch of kids.
Wait....what was she going to say about the tension needing to be broken??? I want to know 7:23🙉
Ouch. The audio for the whispering part was hard with headphones on. Popping the S, if that's the term, not sure.
those 5, not only invited to your funeral, but also suspects in your death. Just saying..
Should be celebrations of life. Enough of the sad stuff….I want people to celebrate the time I was here. You will sadly go to more funerals as you get older ❤
i’m a Nat. 100%. without satire.
First 20 views! How could my day get any better?!
This is so real - I was 11 when my older brother died, and everyone kept telling me how sorry they were. All I could think was, "why are you apologizing, you didn't hit him with your car." Now at funerals, I usually say "This sucks, but it gets better." That usually gets a nod and a smile in return.
Established Titles is pretty brave to sponsor this channel. Are you able to make Scottish jokes? Like with kilts and lassies, or haggis and stuff? Bagpipes are always good
I was the 500th like.
☠😅
You know you've made a solid friend when you're invited to their funeral. I'll bring the brownies!
Got to 3:31🎉
Sweet ending? Massage train?
no i killed his cats ,, i crushed crispy and crunchy like tin foil
I'd love to know if the casual chats are scripted or ad-lib? 🤔
The chats are not scripted! All real convo's.
Idk if it’s not the norm but I am just as upset if not more by the death of my pets than people I care about. I love them just as much as a human child and it’s just as upsetting to lose them.
Isn't a LIVE band rubbing it in? How about a DJ playing only songs from a band of people who are all dead? Who are all dead but were born around when you were? Who were one of your favourites? Or only a number of people and bands but they all have to be dead? Or the Grateful Dead?
Okay not even related to a funeral I'm now imagining a band called Alive Band.
"I'm going to Alive Band in concert next week."
"Oh what's the band?"
"The band Alive band."
"Right, which band?"
"No I saw Which Band last month"
"But who's on first?"
"Oh their opening act? Doors Open I think it said."
@@quilynn Haha!
Instead of shutting down the bar... record in front of a live audience maybe?
Think this was the weakest sketch y'all done, unfortunately.
Loved the short gag joke at the start and loved the banter after, the sketch just didnt land for me. Love you guys though
Yeah. I don't like it. It's too "look I'm random"
It's the boring version of, Death at a funeral.
Is it wrong that I check out chicks while I'm at a funeral?
Julie still accepting this scam Established Titles sponsorship, bit embarrassing tbh.
5 seconds in... wtf?
So ..true story …I was at a funeral today. Sorry guys, this wasn’t funny.
Unwatchable. The hug and massage train didn't save it. Sorry.
