Let’s dive in!
1. Sabinus – “Sabinus vs POS Girl”
Creator: Mr. Funny (Sabinus)
Platform: YouTube, Instagram
Runtime: ~4 minutes
Sabinus never disappoints with his “suffer head” antics. In this skit, he innocently walks into a store to buy a snack and ends up in a heated conversation with a beautiful POS attendant. But nothing goes as planned, as Sabinus’ famous bad luck strikes again — this time in the form of a card transaction gone wrong. The awkward flirting, his panicked expressions, and the unexpected twist at the end make this skit a total laugh riot.
Highlight Moment: When Sabinus says, “This is the same network that told me I was married last week!”
2. Taaooma – “Mama Taaooma and the Church Dress”
Creator: Taaooma
Platform: Instagram, YouTube
Runtime: ~3 minutes
Taaooma’s gift lies in how she portrays every character in the family — especially the no-nonsense African mother. In this week’s episode, the mother catches her daughter trying to wear a “revealing” dress to church. The drama that follows is classic Nigerian parenting, complete with slippers flying across the room and emotional blackmail.
Why It Works: The comedy is rooted in everyday Nigerian experiences, especially the generational clash between old-school values and Gen Z freedom.
3. Broda Shaggi – “Shaggi the Uber Driver”
Creator: Broda Shaggi
Platform: YouTube
Runtime: ~7 minutes
When Broda Shaggi becomes an Uber driver, chaos is inevitable. From charging passengers extra for “traffic delay” to making them sing gospel songs before they enter, Shaggi turns a mundane Uber ride into a full-on comedy special. His chemistry with random guests and his exaggerated Yoruba accent make this skit unforgettable.
Best Line: “My car no get AC, but my mouth dey cool.”
4. Brainjotter – “No Stress Customer Service”
Creator: Brainjotter
Platform: YouTube, TikTok
Runtime: ~5 minutes
Brainjotter’s laid-back, “I don’t care” attitude is his comedic signature. This time, he plays a customer service agent who couldn’t care less about the customers’ complaints. His responses are brutally honest, sarcastic, and downright hilarious. Nigerian customer service reps can definitely relate — and so can their victims!
Standout Moment: When he tells a customer, “So you’re complaining that our product is bad? My sister, we know.”
5. Lasisi Elenu – “The Angry Lawyer in Court”
Creator: Lasisi Elenu
Platform: Instagram, TikTok
Runtime: ~4 minutes
Lasisi’s alter ego, the aggressive, over-reactive lawyer, is back in court — and this time, he’s defending a man accused of stealing jollof rice. With his overuse of legal jargon and dramatic facial filters, Lasisi takes courtroom comedy to another level. The way he exaggerates simple logic into Shakespearean monologues is absolutely gold.
Why It’s Funny: The mix of legal English and village logic is laugh-out-loud ridiculous.
6. Officer Woos – “The Fake Police Checkpoint”
Creator: Officer Woos
Platform: YouTube
Runtime: ~6 minutes
This week, Officer Woos teams up with comedian Small Stout in a skit where they set up a fake police checkpoint to “collect something for the boys.” But their plans backfire spectacularly when they unknowingly stop a real DPO (Divisional Police Officer). The chase scene that follows is both hilarious and absurd.
Quote of the Week: “Oga, bring your papers… and something for the weekend!”
7. Kiekie – “Kiekie the Relationship Counselor”
Creator: Kiekie
Platform: Instagram, YouTube Shorts
Runtime: ~2 minutes
Kiekie offers “advice” to a young couple going through relationship issues. Instead of calming them down, she fuels the fire by exposing both their secrets. Her high-energy delivery, dramatic expressions, and over-the-top fashion sense make this skit a visual and comedic treat.
Funniest Bit: When she says, “If he cheated, cheat back! Balance the equation, baby!”
8. Zicsaloma – “The Choir Mistress Saga”
Creator: Zicsaloma
Platform: YouTube
Runtime: ~6 minutes
Zicsaloma’s church-themed skits always find a way to turn holiness into hilarity. In this one, he plays the overly dramatic choir mistress who takes her job way too seriously. Between insisting on 5 AM rehearsals and rejecting anyone who can’t hit high C, the skit is a sharp parody of real-life church politics.
Why Fans Love It: The exaggerated praise songs and gospel diva drama hit too close to home — in the funniest way.
9. Josh2Funny – “The Speed Reader Returns”
Creator: Josh2Funny
Platform: YouTube Shorts, Instagram
Runtime: ~2 minutes
Josh2Funny’s speed reader character is back and this time, he’s reading a love letter at a wedding. You can barely understand a word, but the commitment to reading fast while mispronouncing every syllable is what makes it hilarious. His talent for twisting common phrases into gibberish that still somehow makes sense is genius.
Unforgettable Line: “I am adjective in your presence. You condense my heart with emotion!”
10. Sydney Talker – “When You Can’t Lie Anymore”
Creator: Sydney Talker
Platform: YouTube, TikTok
Runtime: ~5 minutes
Sydney plays a guy who gets caught in a web of lies. What starts as a simple excuse to his girlfriend quickly turns into a full-blown investigation involving his mother, best friend, and even his boss. The way his story unravels is side-splitting — especially because you can see yourself or someone you know in that same situation.
Best Part: When his mum joins the call and confirms his lie with another lie… that makes things worse.
Honorable Mentions:
- MC Lively – “Nigerian Weddings Wahala”
- Papa Benji (Basketmouth’s Web Series) – Consistently funny episodes weekly.
- Woli Agba – “Sunday Service Drama” – If you love religious satire, this one is gold.
