I love parodies and obviously you're great at them Dan, but I really wish CH would do more videos that don't rely on parody. It feels like 90% of CH's videos rely on goofing on something popular, topical, or from early 90s childhood. Especially since you're such a comedy nerd that knows his stuff, it'd be cool to see more videos based on original characters.

You make a valid point, but unfortunately so it goes in the Internet video business. CH's success relies on views, and views rely on videos being viral -- the kind of thing people can relate to on a baseline level. More absurdist and character-based sketches don't succeed on the Internet (at least not in the "viral" sense), but that's why we have our Hardly Working series -- which is filled with that kind of comedy.
That's actually something I love about what we do at CH -- we have the Originals, which are premise-based and relatable, which is one kind of comedy, but then we have Hardly Workings, which are absurdist and character-based. So ideally, this means we get to use both sides of our comedy brains.
