A new comedy video is getting laughs from college football fans this week.
They didn’t even include anything on Arkansas, probably because that would have been like piling on in a blowout. Well, Utah’s 43-10 was all that but the guys at SEC Shorts probably didn’t need it with Texas.
The clip uses costumes and jokes to poke fun at teams from the Big Ten and the SEC. It landed right after a busy Saturday full of close games and a few big upsets.
The sketch opens with two characters dressed up like kings from rival schools. One king tells his guards to use “extreme violence” on the other.
That line sets up a bit built around a blown lead and a trip to a servant’s chamber.
The losing king in the sketch claims his team was up 23 to three in the fourth quarter. He blames the collapse on a fumble a dropped touchdown and a wild interception.
The other king teases him about it before sending him off to serve grapes as punishment for the loss.
A new servant then shows up wearing gear that looks like Auburn colors. He jokes that he almost avoided the whole ordeal himself.
He says his team was one bad break away from a blowout win of its own thanks to a nearly disastrous interception from a receiver.
The servant adds that he has been stuck scrubbing the same chamber pot for six seasons straight. He jokes that serving grapes would be a dream job compared to his current chore.
The bit gets another laugh when the king reminds him he still has to face Georgia the following week.
Mississippi State and Alabama get a mention
Later in the video another character brings up the Big Ten going one and one against the SEC over the weekend.
A different king quickly reminds him that his own team lost too. When asked who beat him he says the Bulldogs before a quick joke clarifies he does not mean Georgia.
The sketch says Mississippi State handed a loss to Alabama during the weekend. The characters joke about a quarterback named Kamario Taylor and how good he looked in the win.
One character jokingly asks for his phone number and favorite car before threatening to track him down on LinkedIn.
The video also brings up Alabama trailing Kentucky at halftime. The characters use sarcasm to say nothing was wrong even though the team needed a big second half push to pull it out.
They joke that scoring 32 unanswered points came easy right after the offensive coordinator lost communication with the sideline.
Texas and Kansas close out the bit
Near the end of the clip a character brings up Kansas and its Border War rivalry video. He compares it to another team’s shaky clock management during a game.
The joke pokes fun at how both moments went viral for the wrong reasons that same week.
The sketch wraps up with a nod to Texas fans and their well known chant. A new visitor shows up at the door as the servant finishes packing up the losing king’s belongings.
The video ends on a lighthearted note calling it another solid week for the group behind the bit.
Videos like this one have become a regular part of college football culture online. Fans wait for these sketches after big weekends to see which teams get poked fun at next.
This one leans on real game results to build its jokes which is a big reason so many fans found it funny and shared it around.
