WHY DON’T WE COMMIT TO THE BIT? Meet Brittany & Michael

WHY DON’T WE COMMIT TO THE BIT? Meet Brittany & Michael

IN A NUTSHELL

How long have you been together?
7 years

Do you have kids?
Not yet! And as for furry babies, Brittany wants a cat—badly—but Michael is allergic to them.

Where do you live?
Los Angeles, CA

What do each of you do for work?
We’re actors/comedians, and Brittany watches animals on the side.

A fun fact about you as a couple:
Our first kiss was on camera while filming a comedy sketch. Awwwwwww.

Who is more committed to the bit—even when it’s inconvenient?
Brittany. Brittany is. Brittany is a psychopath.

What’s one prank/costume idea that’s still on your “we have to do this” list?
Lady Gaga’s meat dress would be amazing to do—but there’s no sanitary way to pull it off.

What’s something totally normal in your relationship that other couples would find chaotic?
How many wigs we own. We have several large bins of wigs in our closet. It’s a problem.

Any rituals, habits, or “this is so us” moments that define your relationship?
I’m not sure if this counts, but this past December we both tied for first place in an Ugly Christmas Sweater contest, and when Brittany told her mom, she replied, “Oh, that’s so you guys!”

MEET BRITTANY & MICHAEL

Get ready to meet Brittany and Michael—a couple proving that laughter might just be the most underrated love language.

Based in Los Angeles, this comedic duo has built a massive following by turning everyday relationship moments into wildly entertaining, slightly chaotic, and painfully relatable content. With backgrounds in live sketch and improv in New York, their chemistry goes far beyond the screen—it’s the foundation of everything they create.

But behind the wigs, costumes, and viral videos is something real: a partnership built on mutual admiration, humor, and being each other’s biggest fan.

From committing to the bit (no matter how unhinged) to embracing the awkward, Brittany and Michael remind us that relationships don’t have to be perfect—they just have to be fun, honest, and a little ridiculous.


THE INTERVIEW

Q: Let’s start at the beginning—what makes you say “this is my person”?

Aside from Brittany being naturally funny, she is the kindest and sweetest person I’ve ever met. She’s gracious to anyone and everyone around her. She makes me want to be a more caring person.

Michael is a comedic savant. He’s alluring, intriguing, and a mystery to most—and I feel lucky that I get to know the guy behind the curtain. I love a person who has healthy obsessions and drive. I just love him and his level-headedness.


Q: If someone followed you around for a full week without editing, what would surprise them most about your relationship?

I think people would be surprised at how chill we are in everyday life. Brittany likes to busy herself with random crafts (crochet, painting, cross-stitch, etc.), and Michael likes to watch TV or read a book. Together, we binge shows while farting on the couch. Because yes, we believe in equal farting in a relationship.


Q: Your content lives in that space between effort and spontaneity. How much of what you do is planned… and how much is “this would be funny right now”?

We plan everything, but always leave room for improv and spontaneity because that often ends up being the most fun part of our videos.


Q: There’s a level of commitment in your videos that most people wouldn’t dare attempt. Where does that “let’s just go for it” mentality come from?

It’s just what we find funny. We both came up doing live sketch and improv comedy in New York City, where you learn to commit to the bit no matter what you do.


Q: Every couple has a default dynamic—one plans, one reacts, one escalates, one regrets it later 😅 How would you describe yours?

We’re pretty good at balancing each other out. When one person is anxious, the other calms them down. If one of us is reacting too big, the other brings them back down to earth. In terms of planning, Michael tends to plan out our day-to-day, while Brittany usually plans bigger life decisions.


Q: What’s a moment where one of you thought, “This has gone too far”… and the other was just getting started?

For one of our videos, we put thick yellow face paint on Michael’s face to be a minion and went out into a very busy area on a very hot day. That honestly mortified us both, and we both wondered if we’d gone too far.


Q: A lot of couples slowly become more predictable over time. Do you think unpredictability is something couples should actively create?

Absolutely! Habits are healthy, but they’re boring as hell. It’s a great idea to switch things up once in a while. Go on that trip! Try that damn restaurant you guys are always talking about! Smack his little butt! You get it.


Q: What’s something your audience probably assumes about your relationship that isn’t actually true?

People may assume that Michael gets grumpy or annoyed with me, but he’s a sweet guy, and we both think each other is hilarious.


Q: When you’re not filming, do you still find yourselves naturally doing bits, jokes, or mini “pranks”—or do you switch it off completely?

We constantly do bits with each other and joke around all day. As for pranks, a classic jump scare from behind the couch is done occasionally.


Q: What role does surprise play in a relationship beyond content? Do you think it actually changes how connected you feel?

Yeah! A surprise gift here and there is always an awesome uplifter and is a good way to know your person is paying attention to your needs.


Q: Have you ever had an idea you loved… but didn’t post because it felt like too much?

No—if we love it, we’ll post it. But there were some ideas we didn’t pursue because they felt too mean. Our humor is best when it’s just funny for funny’s sake. Even when we’re parodying social media trends, we don’t want to take swings at any specific person or couple.


Q: What’s something small your partner does that instantly breaks you out of a bad mood?

We talk it out. If one of us is down, the other gives reasons why we should feel good. If that doesn’t work, then we usually just order a fat, greasy, juicy pizza.


Q: If your relationship had a “formula,” what would the ingredients be? 😅

30% awareness, 40% patience, 80% humor, 30% chill time, 30% work time, 2% milk, 10% we’re both not good at math.


Q: Do you think fun in a relationship fades naturally—or do couples just stop prioritizing it?

I think a relationship ebbs and flows, just like we do as people. I feel like it’s a conscious effort from both people to balance their relationship. For instance, being aware if things are getting too serious—or on the flip side, recognizing that there’s been all play and no work being done. I think specifically for us, because we work together, we have to make sure we set aside time to just celebrate us.


Q: If someone wanted to bring more fun into their relationship but felt “awkward” trying, what would you tell them?

We’d say, “It’s okay to be awkward!” But also, if you feel uncomfortable introducing the “fun,” then your best bet is to tell them that you want more fun in the relationship. You should be able to communicate anything with your partner. It’s a cliché, but communication really is key.


Q: If you had to remove all the costumes, pranks, and content tomorrow—what would still make your relationship feel like you?

Our relationship is built on being each other’s biggest fan. We’ve got each other’s back, no matter what. If all the content went away tomorrow, we’d still have that.


Q: And finally… if you could change the world one happy couple at a time, how would you finish this phrase: Why Don’t We…?

Get on each other’s shoulders, put on a really big trench coat, and see if we can buy one movie ticket to an R-rated movie.


Brittany and Michael’s relationship is proof that fun isn’t something you stumble into—it’s something you choose.

Between the chaos, the creativity, and the commitment to never taking themselves too seriously, they’ve built a relationship that feels alive. Not because everything is perfect—but because they keep showing up, making each other laugh, and leaning into the weird.
