Nerd introduces his cool best friend from @blakesdailybread

A creator, playing a nerdy character, directly addresses the camera to introduce his 'best friend.' The video then cuts to a cooler-looking person who poses to the music, before cutting back to the nerdy character who introduces the 'next best friend,' revealing the same person in a hybrid cool/nerdy outfit as a punchline.
