We’ve all had terrible roommates, but comedian Demi Adejuyigbe (@electrolemon) has to live with Banksy, the mysterious artist known for being reclusive as well as making a stencil of a dude throwing a flower bouquet instead of a molotov cocktail.
As you can tell by my lead paragraph, a graffiti artist like Banksy is so ubiquitous and “important” that basically any yahoo with a keyboard can easily make fun of him. Adejuyigbe isn’t just any yahoo with a keyboard, however. He’s a digital producer for Comedy Central’s @Midnight and is responsible for some of my favorite jokes of all time, including horrifying mashups of Hozier’s “Take Me To Church” and inexplicably leaving 57 copies of Adam Sandler’s “Click” at his parents house. However, his tweets about living with Banksy, who I should add in case you’re an easily confused person is not actually his roommate, might be his Mona Lisa.
Check them out below because it will be the funniest thing you will see all week.
