Suburbanite Satire
Barats and Bereta are a popular YouTube duo who have posted many humorous clips on various topics including several on college life. I first came across them on YouTube about a year ago and became an instant fan of their humor and social commentary. The duo met at Gonzaga University which features prominently in many of their videos. After building up a huge fan following, I heard that they were supposedly getting some kind of TV deal to create a comedic show or act or something. Their YouTube creative output has conspicously dropped leading me to believe they actually have graduated and have less time on their hands with real jobs instead! Well hopefully we’ll see more of them and their works in the future. Anyway, the following YouTube video is one of my personal favorites where they poke fun at stereotypes of American suburban life and attitudes. There used to be a longer bookended version of this which for some reason they have removed from YouTube but the essence of the video is still here:

I liked their Mother’s Day clip from last year (or year before?). This one is good too, though I’m a bit disturbed to see a little of what I’ve become, and may yet become, being lampooned…
Their Mother’s Day video is the most popular of the lot I think. That was very funny and well done. The same two brother characters reappear in another later music video set to the Bare Naked Ladies song “Sound of Your Voice” … check it out.
Great reprise of their Mother’s Day roles!
