Once upon a time a friend and I were considering writing a modern-day Robin Hood movie. Witness this explanation of the characters found in the Monomyth, with assistance from Fafa’s toad cousin Johnny T, and why their absence makes Adam Sandler movies suck now. Which isn’t to say that they didn’t occasionally try to inform.
I mean they called it a blog, but really it was a series of comedy videos starring puppets. Every view and subscriber could help bring Fafa and Mario back faster.Īnd also someone has to point viewers at their A-material, because the only video YouTube’s algorithm thinks to recommend is the one where Gorilla dances to Gangnam Style. But while that’s happening, there’s a lot of great material on their channel that I suggest you check out. They’re just taking an unplanned and indefinite hiatus while they try to figure out how to deal with their viewership issues. Mario and Fafa try to explain what they think happened here, but basically viewership was taking a bigger hit than they could handle.īut I come not to bury Glove and Boots, but to praise them. Facebook pushing “Top stories” and hiding things from your news feed, or demanding that Pages boost posts just to reach their audiences Twitter taking a perfectly functional chronological feed and ruining it with “In case you missed it” tweets from days ago and now YouTube is screwing over small-to-medium channels. And all of it was fun, but all of a sudden it wasn’t working, because YouTube changed its algorithm.Īnd anyone who’s noticed how social media channels have been getting progressively worse lately just reflexively clenched up reading that. They set out to make 100 videos in one year, from their usual work to various new mini-episode series to monthly live shows on their main channel and weekly streams on Glove and Boots Gaming, where Fafa the Groundhog and Mario the… Mario would try out games for our amusement. In 2017, they decided to try to grow their channel with an ambitious plan to crank up their output. No, nobody is actually named “Glove” or “Boots.”īased out of Brooklyn, New York, they’ve been doing puppet-based YouTube comedy blogs for a few years now. They are Glove and Boots, the funniest non-Henson puppets on YouTube.
But in the midst of it all, a few special people, a groundhog, and a red thing tried to make the world a little brighter, only to get cut down by YouTube deciding to screw over creators worldwide. So there are certainly no shortage of horrors to be found in 2017.
