Fairbairn Films' uncle-to-be wants shared custody
The baby-news sketch passes 400,000 views as Jaxon's character demands a say in rather more than uncle duties.

When your sibling is having a baby
Next story: Fairbairn Films puts America's date format through committee
Lachlan announces a baby, and his brother treats it like a family decision that has somehow escaped committee. Not being ready to become an uncle is apparently grounds for objection.
That is the setup of Fairbairn Films' "When your sibling is having a baby", the most-watched of three new uploads. This is a comedy sketch, not a pregnancy announcement: Jaxon's character moves from protesting the lack of consultation to proposing shared custody and weekends with the baby. He also decides unclehood requires wealth and a moustache. Lachlan's request is considerably simpler: "I just need you to do less than what you're doing currently."
The Short has passed 400,000 views and is also the channel's busiest upload right now. In the comments, aunts and uncles jokingly take Jaxon's side, while others recall relatives who weren't quite ready for their new title. Several pick up on his struggle to keep a straight face near the end.
"Seeing AI everywhere you look" supplies the week's other substantial new audience, reaching about 133,000 views. A paid sunscreen advertisement rounds out the uploads.
The subscriber count stayed unchanged, while daily views are running below the channel's usual pace. Nearby sketch channels offer a varied picture: Colby Martel had a much larger week of viewing and subscriber growth, while Off The Hook's daily viewing was close to its normal level. For Fairbairn Films, the week's clearest draw is a brother who hears baby news and immediately starts negotiating access.

@ickleronnySee it on YouTubeMy husband said “I’m not ready to be an uncle” ten years ago when our nephew was born. He’s still a little unsure a decade later 😂
