Eat dirt or buy American?
CBC Comedy posted two topical clips, taking the week's humor from buying American to a toilet-paper dispute. “Eat dirt or buy American?”, drawn from Because News with Gavin Crawford, attracted the larger audience, reaching roughly 13,000 views. Crawford's show turns the news into a comedy quiz, a fitting home for a shopping choice phrased this bluntly.
The newer “They want it and we won't give it!! 🧻” asks, in its description, what's behind a toilet paper war. Both uploads are now the channel's most active videos, with the September question “What time should concerts end?” drawing a much smaller daily audience.
Across the catalog, CBC Comedy added about 213,000 views while its subscriber count stayed unchanged. Daily viewing is currently below its usual pace. Nearby broadcaster channels had varied weeks: Hat Trick Comedy drew substantially more weekly viewing, while Outside TV was quieter. For CBC Comedy, the fresh activity is concentrated in those two very different consumer dilemmas.
