Episode #4 - Turning Real Life Into Skits & Comedy feat. Jake Jonez and Chaz May
Oct 21, 2025
In this episode, Cole and Taylor sit down with two of the most innovative voices in online comedy: Jake Jonez and Chaz May. From transforming everyday frustrations into hilarious skits to building full-on cinematic universes for short-form content, these creators are redefining what’s possible in the world of digital comedy.
Jake’s viral WeUp Air and We ILL sketches look more like full-blown TV pilots than TikToks including airplane cabins, hospital sets, full casts. Meanwhile, Chaz has carved out a lane as the voice of our most frustrating everyday objects — from printers to remotes — turning irritation into comedy gold. They dive into:
The Mean Gays breakout and how Jake decides when a bit becomes a full series
Why Chaz’s physical comedy hits so hard (and how playing a fridge is acting)
The magic behind those celeb “run-in” sketches and why they feel so real
What goes into building high-production sets for short-form content- Jake’s leap into music with his new release, "Touchdown", and the challenge of blending comedy with credibility
How both creators think about collaboration, creative risk, and staying fresh when the pressure to “top yourself” never stops
This episode is packed with insight, behind-the-scenes stories, and sharp humor from two creators pushing the boundaries of what short-form comedy can be.
