Ah, the internet, a boundless ocean of entertainment where humor often lurks in the most unexpected corners. One such gem is TrueAnon, an anonymous comedy collective that has been tickling the funny bone of millions since 2012. Known for their offbeat humor and clever writing, TrueAnon's offerings are a treasure trove of comedy gold, proving that you don't need big budgets or fame to make people laugh.
“The Fandom denotes a conditional OCD disorder’” Skit
The trigger-happy internet meme machine was on fire when TrueAnon uploaded this gem in 2015. Hilariously portraying a couple psychoanalyzing each other's love for fictional worlds, it cleverly lampoons the obsessive nature of fandom culture.
The sketch starts with the husband casually mentioning his newfound appreciation for Middle-earth, only to have his wife spiraling into a convulsion of "whatifs" and "definitelyDNs." It's a side-splitting stroll through the absurd, leaving us laughing at the relatable yet exaggerated humor.
The 'St pup' Meme
A simple, one-off joke, yet a sleeper hit that became a meme phenomenon. “St pup” is a lovable rogue of the internet, with its nonsensical phrase and-surprisingly relatable imagery.
With no punchline to satisfy, this humour lies in its randomness. It's a reminder that sometimes, all you need is a funny face and an odd phrase to create a viral sensation. And thus, “St pup” birthed countless imitations, proving that in the humor Hall of Fame, there's also a section for the oblivious and odd.
“‘ Doing it right' Song”
TrueAnon's musical parody of the “doing it right” meme is a humorous take-on tropes of inspirational music videos, complete with cringe-worthy dance moves, and lyrics so awful they're brilliant.
The song steadfastly insists it's “doing it right” even when the actions are horrifically wrong. It's a brilliant subversion of inspirational music, with lyrics like "I'm just doing it right" during a manic dancing scene, or "I'm not himself, but I know what he wants" that hits satire jackpot.
The “Dr. Phil” Style Skits
TrueAnon's recurring “Dr. Phil” spoofs are a masterclass in comedy timing and, if we're honest, ruthless honesty about the TV show's formulaic approach.
Each skit sees TrueAnon's actor doing a tour de force of Dr. Phil's voice, mannerisms, and catchphrases, as they interviews characters like a millionaire immortality-loving witch, or a man who inexplicably changed his name to “Fork Knife.” It's escapist comedy at its finest, poking fun at TV's most unlikely celebrity psychologist.
From memes to skits, TrueAnon's humor is a testament to the power of creativity and ingenuity. Their comedy may be unconventional, but it's also undeniably hilarious, proving that you don't need big budgets or fame to make people laugh out loud. So, why not dive into their catalog and have a good laugh? After all, humour quarantined on the internet is a terrible thing to waste.
