The challenge launched by Emmanuel Macron to Mcfly & Carlito has ignited social networks since Friday evening.
If the duo of YouTubers reaches 10 million views with a video on barrier gestures against Covid-19, the President of the Republic should lend himself to the game of anecdotes competition.
Aware of the political dimension of this challenge but addicted to unlikely challenges, the comedians, followed by 6.25 million people, said "yes".
The song they are composing for the occasion will be online this Sunday morning at 10 a.m.
Everything in its preparations, the duo was unreachable this Saturday.
While waiting to discover his video, here is what to expect.
A song "without any joke"
David Coscas (Mcfly) and Raphaël Carlier (Carlito) share “the love of gag” since high school.
Among their favorite games?
Write parody songs.
The most recent, "La Chanson des choses unnecessary" with Julien Doré, lists, as its name suggests, the things that are useless (bidets, the tiny pocket in jeans, stickers on the fruit, etc.).
It has been viewed 4.7 million times.
Several have crossed the bar of 10 million views: "S vs L (the clash of sectors)", "I do the dab", or "We do not wear underwear".
This time, on the theme imposed by the President of the Republic (barrier gestures), Mcfly and Carlito announced that they would not make a joke.
A buzz
With more than 2.9 million views this Saturday at 6 p.m., the video in which Mcfly and Carlito announce that they are taking up the challenge launched by Emmanuel Macron is already the most viewed on YouTube in the past 24 hours.

Their record?
A phone gag video with Squeezie has been viewed 25 million times.
A deluge of comments
They may well repeat “we are not fooled.
Obviously it's political (…) there are elections in a year, ”on social networks, the reactions are mixed.
With tens of thousands of posts, Twitter is unleashed.
Some protested: “The only way I forgive Mcfly and Carlito there is if the challenge they are throwing at Macron is to resign.
"
Others decide to laugh about it and imagine Olivier Véran announcing: “We are considering confining Nice but we must first consult Mcfly and Carlito.
"We are completely free artistically in our content, we can help public health", plead the comedians.
A prize pool for students
The duo announced that the money generated by this song - YouTube revenue, radio, streaming, etc.

An anecdotes competition
In case of victory for Mcfly and Carlito, Emmanuel Macron should agree to submit to a competition of anecdotes.
At least that's what was agreed with the head of digital communication at the Elysee.
The concept ?
Each participant recounts an event, real or imagined, and his opponent must guess whether the anecdote is true or false.
“If he loses, Manu will have a pledge.
We thought about pledges, it will be epic.
“Obviously, on social networks, speculation is rife!
