CBC Comedy gives facial fillers the panel-quiz treatment
Gavin Crawford's Because News supplies the week's most watched upload, built around a term that invites an immediate age joke.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
The great deflate debate!
The answer is facial fillers. Getting there, though, gives the Because News panel time for a detour in CBC Comedy's "The great deflate debate!"
Gavin Crawford asks what "The Great Deflate" means, and a white-haired panelist objects: "It's really not something you should ask a 68-year-old." Another panelist supplies the answer, people having fillers removed from their faces, before Crawford confirms the point and reads the Wall Street Journal headline behind the question. A beauty trend becomes a vocabulary test, with room for a joke before anyone reaches the definition.
The clip drew roughly 29,000 views, comfortably the most watched of CBC Comedy's two new uploads. "Two very different things to eat..." supplied the other addition. The deflate debate also has the strongest daily momentum among the channel's active videos, narrowly above October's "Hacking a dart is honorary 🇨🇦", another example of Because News turning an unfamiliar phrase into a panel prompt.
Across the channel, the week brought about 330,000 views and an unchanged subscriber count. Daily viewing is currently below half its usual pace. Among similarly sized television channels, Channel 4 Homes had a particularly busy week, while CBC Comedy's freshest activity came from Crawford's very short route from a headline to a punchline.
