The Characters Behind My Skits

If you've watched more than three of my videos, you've met the family. My skits run from about thirty seconds to a minute, and most of that time goes to a handful of characters I keep coming back to. Here's who they are.

Who shows up the most?

• My 12-year-old self: a version of me at twelve who is completely obsessed with vampires. Every vampire phase you ever had, she has it worse.
• Chad: a Boston bro. That's all you need to know, and he will tell you the rest anyway.
• The fed-up mom: she has asked nicely. She is done asking nicely.
• The toddler with tiny hands: small hands, big opinions.

Why characters?

A skit is short. A character you already know saves the set-up, so the joke can land in the first five seconds. That's also why the same faces come back again and again: you know exactly who walked into the room.

How does that end up in the merch?

The designs in my shop work the same way. A single line says the whole thing: Put Me In Hell, Introverts Social Club, Emotionally Offline, High Key Stupid, Low Key Genius. You read it, you know the mood, and you know which character would wear it.

A few pairings

• Fed-up mom energy: Emotionally Offline · Do not disturb.
• Vampire-phase energy: Put Me In Hell · And I'll See You There, gothic lettering included.
• Chad energy: High Key Stupid, Low Key Genius. He would wear it without irony.
