YouTuber Tunglebrek’s No Jokes, All Plot features episodes from classic comedy shows edited to their bare essentials – narrative-wise that is. It’s intentionally missing the point to get to the point.

Another impressive performance from Enra, combining projected animations with live action – in this case precisely matching the timing of Yusaku Mochizuki’s diabolo juggling with the digital images on screen.
