In this Friday’s installment of our partnership with 5by, the video discovery platform that curates the web’s best viral videos, we take a look at the top five videos of the week from the platform’s TV category.
Trending this week on social are some controversial clips (Bill Burr, ‘The Simpsons’) and some hilarious clips (‘Key & Peele,’ ‘SNL’). For more on the videos selected, Theo Tabah, 5by’s Head of Content:
A concoction of comedy and controversy were all over this weeks top 5 making for another must-see TV lineup on 5by.
AdvertisementThe hilarious, but opinionated Bill Burr turned heads this week when he voiced his opinion on women’s plan to ruin the NFL. Some loved it, others… well, you’ll see why it didn’t sit well with certain people. Joining in on the mixed reviews, The Simpsons’ latest couch gag from the ‘Clown in The Dumps’ episode was praised as genius by many but after watching, you can see why some thought it was just too twisted too see as quality.
American Horror Story premieres next Wednesday, and the ending to the final trailer will almost certainly make you fear clowns, that is if you don’t already.
On a lighter note, the quality comedy skits continue. Key & Peele’s latest skit features Modern Family’s Ty Burrell (Phil Dunphy) who steals the show with his German accent and perfect timing. SNL’s first week back proved to be a huge success as well, and their ‘weekend update’ segment took the social scene by storm, racking up close to one million views and nailing the classic SNL satire on all levels.
