Then again you don't pay anything to see these guys' videos on the giant conglomeration known as the internet so that guarantee means nothing.
So a brief synopsis is in order before you set off on your viewing adventures.
Zoom in on a map of Bloomington, Minnesota. This is where the genius that is the Bloomington Bros takes place. Matt Houchin, from Jefferson High School [read: the rich school] and Ross McNamara from Kennedy High School [read: the poor school, where I was in band with Ross] are two guys who do extremely funny things while wearing letter jackets.
You'd think that humor based on a location wouldn't appeal to the masses, but I find that anyone can relate to this. All high schools have their arch-rivals, right? These just happen to be in the same city is all.
Their most watched video with 13,000+ hits on Youtube is a reinterpretation of Nickleback's "Photograph", which makes me practically pee myself every time I watch it. Some other ones you will want to check out include "Fat Nat's Eggs" where they attempt to order unprepared eggs, "Credit Card Bill 1, 2, 2.5 and 3" in which they come up with undeniably brilliant ways to pay a credit card bill, and "Pool Safety" which taught me a very valuable life lesson.
The duo have filmed a pilot for a show based on their sketches where they finally get kicked out of their parent's homes and move to the (admittedly scary) Minneapolis. It is being pitched to several networks and we will hopefully get to see them on the small screen shortly.
The Bloomington Bros are also talented as single servings: Ross has written and directed the feature length "Cold Feet", and edited/directed projects for FunnyOrDie.com, and Matt does improv and skits which can be found at his site matt-houchin.com, along with directing a feature length documentary "King of the Road".
For those who are too lazy to google Bloomington Bros, here's some links.
