For those of you who donamp8217t know Desus top leftamp160and Mero right are a couple of Bronx natives whoamp8217ve been crackinamp8217 jokes for bread since late 2013 Originally podcasters they first made their mark by releasing a show of their own creation appropriately called Desus vs Mero on iTunes Since then they have become more and more recognized and popular due to their unique chemistry and irreverent hood comedy amp160Anyone whoamp8217s lived in or around the boroughs of New York has probably gone to school with a couple of similar class clowns amp160As someone who went to public school in New York I recognize their type and even though I probably wouldamp8217ve spent the majority of my time around them getting roasted by these two thereamp8217s a familiarity to their vibe that makes me feel like Iamp8217m back home no matter what state Iamp8217m residing inWhat one normally gets from watching Desus and Mero do their thing is the same experience one would get watching two guys from the block talk sht in front of the corner bodega They snap on people crack hilariously crass jokes and relate whatever theyamp8217re talking about to their own lives without ever taking themselves even a little bit serious Their bits are off the top over the top raunchy as hell and always entertainingThese guys are a prime example of whatamp8217s possible through proper digital promotion when combined with something genuinely special Theyamp8217ve done podcasts both audio and video and have had or been on shows on major broadcasting networks like Complex MTV MTV2 and Viceland Their streetveteran styles have never wavered and theyamp8217ve never pulled a punch regardless of what or who theyamp8217re talking aboutOn the showamp8217s current Viceland incarnation the guys give viewers a slightly refined version of their usual act that consists mostly of improvised jokes about current events sports and pop culture in addition to constantly riffing off of one another Itamp8217s still basically the same animal just without some of the less politically correct comments and overly vulgar potentially offensive language You know mainstream sht No worries though none of what makes these dudes dope gets lost in translationSince making the switch from Complexamp8217s webbased format to subscription cable channel Viceland more celebrities have come on to talk with the guys Recently theyamp8217ve interviewed the likes of both Chris Hayes and Rachel Maddow of MSNBC actoractivist Jesse Williams singersongwriter Faith Evans and rapper Joey Badass to name just a fewObviously there are plenty of traits that one could name as the reason this duo is so dynamic namely their hilariousness ingenuousness teamwork and New York swag but thereamp8217s one particular characteristic that I feel is the true culprit their very real friendshipGenerally human beings all share an innate need to belong which can also be described as a need for friendship or comradery Itamp8217s for that reason that even the most hateful people in the world can find other haters to hate with Naturally this instinctual need draws us to representations of real honest friendship and the combination of friendship and comedy creates an especially attractive and recognizable vibe Americaamp8217s had an infatuation with funny buddies since long before comedies like Stepbrothers 21 Jump Street or Wedding Crashers and itamp8217s all because they each depict strong BFFstyle friendships Thereamp8217s something about that underlying sentiment of amp8220Donamp8217t worry dog I got youamp8221 that in movies raises the stakes and makes the viewers care about their wellbeing and friendship that much more For Desus and Mero that fellowship gives their chemistry a solid foundation and itamp8217s that same foundation that lets them organically bounce off of one another You know the way best friends doIn laymanamp8217s terms these dudes are legit AF Even if youamp8217re one of those people whoamp8217ve never met guys like them andor didnamp8217t have the luxury of growing up in the Bronx or any other hood for that matter Desus and Mero still have one of the funniest and freshest topicdriven shows on cable right now No one is doing what these two do the same way that they do it and in a media landscape thatamp8217s littered with copycats and posers thatamp8217s a pretty big dealquotDesus and Meroquot is telecast weeknights at 11 pm on VicelandClick the social buttons above or below to share this content with your friends and colleaguesThe opinions and points of view expressed in this article are exclusively the views of the author andor subjects and do not necessarily represent the views of MediaVillagecomMyersBizNet Inc management or associated bloggersamp160
