If you’ve already subscribed to the YouTube Red video streaming service from Google, then you’ve probably been scouring the service for new original content (well, if that’s the reason why you got it in the first place). Then you’ll be happy to know that there are two more new scripted comedy shows coming your way, aside from all the other benefits you’ve gotten from your subscription (including free unlimited Google Play Music streaming). More new shows are also expected to be added in the next few months.
The first show is called Bad Internet and it is from the College Humor YouTube channel, one of the more popular ones out there. The show is about a dystopian future (think Hunger Games/Divergent/Maze Runner) where people are divided into tribes according to the results of a Buzzfeed quiz (think, uhm, Buzzfeed). Each episode lasts 12 minutes and for its first season, there are 10 episodes all in all. They will be released weekly with the first one available now and for free.
The other show is from Fine Brothers Entertainment, another popular YouTube channel, and is called Sing It! It’s a behind-the-scenes look at a singing competition and all the hijinks that ensue. There are also 10 episodes but each one is twice as long as the other show, clocking in at 24 minutes each. The first episode is also free, so if you want a sample, just head on over to their YouTube channel.
YouTube Red is a subscription service that lets you watch ad-free videos on the video sharing channel, as well as access to exclusive original content, offline viewing, and listening to videos even when your screen is off. And with the added bonus of Google Play Music streaming, $9.99 per month isn’t bad at all. However, it is only currency available in the US, and recently, Australia and New Zealand. Here’s hoping they expand to other territories soon.
