Breakfast shouldn't be the hardest part of a school trip, but Lafay Williams's character is crying over a butter packet. Her friend, played by Savannah Gracey, has rather less sympathy: "You can't be that homesick. Get a grip."

The duo's school-trip sketch has drawn nearly 40,000 views before its first day is over, already well beyond their usual first-day Shorts audience. It takes a familiar school memory and splits it between the pupil who wants to explore and the one who just wants to leave.

Williams also plays the teacher handing out permission forms, announcing a £4,000 price tag for a two-day trip. Once they're away, one friend's enthusiasm for going into the sea meets the other's complaints about walking. Dinner brings another obstacle: vegetables. Gracey's character offers to take some, while her companion's difficulties continue into breakfast.

The comments take that opening price joke in a practical direction, with viewers comparing the cost of their own school trips. One recalls a proposed coach excursion to Boulogne in 1992, without even an overnight stay. The sketch offers opposite experiences of being away; the conversation underneath is largely about how much it costs to get there.

What viewers say

  • In 1992 my school wanted £93 to go to Boulogne on a coach. There wasn't even an overnight stay: £93 to buy a sandwich in French then turn around and come back. (My parents said no.)
