Let's C What's So Funny

Ever heard of Studio C? If not you need to rectify this immediately and go look them up!

They're a comedy sketch group who write and perform fun, clean, family-friendly sketches that are still totally ha-LAR-ious! Imagine, comedy being clean and still funny as heck? Who'da thought?

The cast started out at BYU just performing for fun as "Divine Comedy" (you can look up some of their stuff on YouTube), mostly making fun of being in college, pointing out the annoyances of dating, spoofing church traditions, and so on. Typical young single Mormon stuff XP

However, after they got out of college, they signed on with the BYU channel and got their own show. They changed their name to "Studio C" after the name of the studio where they shoot all their sketches.

The cast includes:
Adam Berg
Whitney Call/Meek
Mallory Everton
Jason Gray
Stacey Harkey
Natalie Madsen
Stephen Meek
Matt Meese
James Perry
Jeremy Warner

They're all hilarious and amazingly talented in their own ways. I love them all! Sometimes they have other people come in and guest star, but mainly it is only those ten. They write and perform every single sketch on the show.

They've been running for about six years now, just barely starting up the sixth season. Each episode is about twenty minutes long, containing a compilation of different sketches. They also have a YouTube channel where they regularly release new sketches.

Here's 20 of my favorite sketches in no particular order. I can't pick a top 10. It's like picking a favorite child. (I'm not including any of the reoccurring sketches like Ann the Librarian, Shoulder Angel, Tongue Twisters, Captain Literally, or Awkward Avoidance Viking):

Crayon Song
I don't know why I laugh so hard at this one. Adam is perfect as the emo crayon.

Scott Sterling
This sketch became a YouTube phenomenon, going viral almost overnight. It still remains their top viewed video and for good reason. It is totally hilarious!

Matt Center
I know that technically this is a reoccurring sketch, but they are just SO funny, I couldn't not include them. (And I couldn't pick just one.) "Que BUENO!!!"

Love From Afar
So much randomness I cannot!

Supervillains
I think about this sketch a lot. I wonder who made all these connections. "Vader, you're in love with your enemy's dead mom!"

School Photo
This is one of those sketches where there's so much truth, it's funny.

Star Wars Leaked Footage
I love Disney so much, I caught all the references. The Space Mountain bit is my favorite.

Mr. Eckelstone Driver’s Ed
I think this could technically be counted as a reoccurring sketch, (really, it's just a reoccurring character), but I don't find the others even close to being as funny as this one. And it took me forever to figure out which actor was playing Ecklestone. "Pray to whatever deities you may worship. If there are any atheists among us, you may pray to science."

Fencing Slow-Mo
They put every single cliche you could think of into this and I love it!

A Bold New Soap Opera/Telenova
Really, the Spanish version is the one to make the countdown, but you sort of have to watch the original to fully understand why it's so funny.
You sometimes catch the actors coming close to breaking character in some of the sketches, but they normally don't actually laugh. This one, however, it all falls apart and it is hilarious! The entire point of the Spanish one was to actually try and make each other laugh.

P90X
What makes this video so great is how spot on Matt's portrayal of the instructor is. But of course, the background is what makes this sketch so funny. I feel Jeremy on a spiritual level.

Ugly Cop
This one also has a sequel, but again, not nearly as funny as this one. Jason in that get-up XD "MAYONNAISE!!!"

International Relations
"Oh hiiii, USA." Their portrayals of all the countries are spot on! (The semi-sequel is also perfect, with the democrat party and the republican party fighting for their "daughter" in divorce court.)

Halloween Prank
So many twists and turns! Haha! And Matt and Mallory's facial expressions the entire time are priceless!

Spidey Senseless
Isn't this exactly how we envision a spider? Isn't this just everyone's worst nightmare?

Mad Scientist Creates Junior High
I quote this one a lot, surprisingly. Especially the part about the math.

Lord of the Dance
I get a kick out of this one mostly because I grew up watching Irish dancing. Adam playing the violin in the background! XDD

Mall Kiosk War
This is another one where there's so much truth, it's hilarious! Mall kiosks are VICIOUS! Jason portrays him perfectly!

Clue Murder Mystery
The match and the pipe! Haha! And Matt's clapping every time! Lol!

Michael Bay Slow-Mo
James doesn't always get a lot of moments to shine, but this sketch totally cracks me up.

Two Guys On a Scooter
This isn't really officially part of he count since it's number 21, but I had to put it in at the end so that the song will be stuck in your head. You're welcome.
