Carl Barron's directions include a church you don't need
Three new clips take in overhelpful locals, mismatched laughs and jockeys, with "Detailed Directions" reaching roughly 71,000 views.

Detailed Directions
The landmark doesn't help. Carl Barron's imaginary guide points out a big brown church, only to explain that it isn't where he should turn. By then, Barron's brain has already filed it as the destination.
"Detailed Directions" was the most watched of his three new uploads this week. Microphone in hand, he impersonates an enthusiastic older man rattling through turns and a roundabout, while the person asking gradually gives up understanding and starts pretending to follow. It's not a shortage of information. It's considerably too much.
The comments supply their own navigation problems: several possible routes to the same place, fading Australian expressions and the unhelpful moment when Google Maps simply tells you to head east. Others remember the routine from DVD, with some pointing out that its lollies reference makes more sense in the longer performance.
"Laughing Heads", about a laugh that doesn't match the face, has the strongest momentum now. It drew a bigger first-day audience than "Detailed Directions" and is currently the channel's busiest upload. "Jockeys" rounds out the new trio, while the older "Cyclones" also keeps gathering views.
Across the channel, the week brought just under a million views and another thousand subscribers, although daily viewing is running well below its usual level. Among nearby stand-up channels, Jim Jefferies is enjoying a marked lift in daily views, while Jeff Arcuri is close to his usual rhythm. Barron's week belongs to familiar everyday absurdities, especially the helpful stranger who won't stop helping.
