* ImplausibleDeniability: "When you bump into your enemy in public" was released April 9, 2020, just as most of the USA was enacting quarantines over [[UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic the pandemic]]. The two actors, Joel and Patrick, interrupt the video with some out-of-character commentary, reassuring audiences that they did ''not'' break quarantine just to film a silly video in public, and in fact this is actually a short they filmed two years ago. As the video continues, the characters make increasingly specific references to 2020 pop culture (like name-dropping ''Series/TigerKing'') and COVID-19 social distancing guidelines ("Please stay back. You have to. It's the law right now, it's literally the law.")--all the while, Joel and Patrick awkwardly insist these references aren't what they seem, and that they really truly did film this video back in 2018.
