As protests spring up in different parts of the country to demand an end to the SARS unit of Nigeria Police, Tunde and Jide get back together to say that this is nothing funny.
-
Finally, Tunde's gone back to work for the first time since March. He and Jide discuss what a COVID-compliant concert looks like. Jide remembers a line from the Sinzu vs Godwon beef and wonders why comedians don't have serious beef... it would have been very juicy! Then they examine "comic" roles in Nollywood and why it shouldn't necessarily mean that every film should have a "stupid gateman", as well as Tunde's aversion for being in front of the camera. Forgive Jide's horrendous singing at the beginning- in his mind, he sounds like Kanu Nwankwo.

Episode 6 of This Shouldn’t Be Funny sees Jide and Tunde shocked at how government agencies now take their fight to Twitter; they also reminisce about the time Ruggedman took on the Kennis Music establishment and Nomoreloss’ mischievous role; AY and Bovi’s classic “Who Wants To Be A Billionaire” skits; how Holy Mallam’s idea of a gospel concert inspired The Experience; how Nigerians typically cannot stand dark humour- especially if it’s about their preferred politician- and their visits to Ask Rock Villa.

After a two week recess, Tunde and Jide return for Episode 5 of the podcast. They take on Nigeria’s political class and its comedy of horrors, the Mr and Mrs Smith’s famous entanglement. Somehow they circled back to Tunde’s first and only time at a strip club, as well as Jide’s visit- not participation o!- to an orgy in Lagos.

Hosts Tunde and Jide catch up for the first time since Dave Chappelle's 8:46 and debate if Nigerian comedians speak up enough. They also delve into Josh2Funny's viral challenge and Tunde discloses that the comic was a protege of Koffi's. Oh by the way, Jide is now very afraid of the coronavirus.
-
To date, the Coronavirus has infected 7.5 million people globally with a death rate of over 400,000; cities across the world are opening up and deciding to face the "new normal". Tunde and Jide discuss what this means for comedians and their fans, as well as Nigerian entire entertainment industry.
-
They also chat about how some savvy comedians have created content in this period and wonder why there hasn't been "versus battles among comedians". By the way, Jide has a few choice words for internet service providers and Tunde empathizes with his colleagues who haven't gotten a cheque since March.
-
Jide enjoys comedy as a fan while Tunde interacts with comedy as a professional. That doesn't mean they each don't know what is funny, except that Jide doesn't quite get why Dave Chappelle is often called a genius. They also ask if the Nigerian audience is especially difficult or some comedians aren't just... funny. Oh, by the way, they pray that the "E get one time for Warri" routine never makes a return.
