Andrew Schulz draws the line at Akiko's mustache trim

A brief styling-trailer joke from August is getting fresh attention, with Schulz suddenly less adventurous than the woman holding the clippers.

Akiko trying to get me fired before we start filming...

Andrew Schulz checks his freshly trimmed mustache in the camera. Akiko steps back, then brings the clippers toward the center again. His response is immediate: "No, no, don't do it like that!"

The styling trailer breaks into laughter. In "Akiko trying to get me fired before we start filming...", the comedian's preparation for the camera becomes the comedy itself. The title's threat to his employment is a joke, not an announcement about a job.

Posted in late August, the clip has added about 43,000 views in a day, more than eleven times its usual daily pace. It has passed half a million views without being a new upload.

The comments pick up on the mustache gag, with Charlie Chaplin references and observations about Akiko's commitment to the bit. One viewer singles out Schulz's laugh at the end, comparing it to the laugh in Gorillaz's "Feel Good Inc."

It isn't the only older Schulz clip moving: his July stand-up video about Mexican workers is also drawing views much faster than usual. But this backstage exchange needs neither a stage nor a crowd, just a second pass with the clippers.
