The dart of the Pantomime Full

Rober Bodegas and Alberto Casado are the people in charge and protagonists of Pantomime Full, a format for the internet that takes full advantage of the medium.

In their well-known and highly commented videos, Bodegas and Casado mercilessly portray contemporary fauna —with four very accurate brushstrokes.

They have been doing it for years with consultants, entrepreneurs, polyamorous, bachelorette parties or finding a flat.

Pantomime Full videos are like

to a world in decline.

Now they have offended half the country by portraying the conformists.

How can a video about conformism offend anyone?

Well, because it touches bone.

A thirty-year-old in a tracksuit (Alberto Casado) comments listlessly that he has gone to live in a newly built neighborhood: "What does it matter, it's all the same."

He introduces us to his girlfriend Patri (the vitriolic Carmen Romero) with whom he has been with for eight years.

"We put up with it," they say in front of a building with windows without a sill.

They show the bar they go to (they don't like it, but it's not bad either), their plans to have children (“That's what it's time for”), their weekend (they watched TV, but fell asleep), and their summer in Santa Pola (as you already know, good).

A poster closes the

El diario de Nah”.

This time Full Pantomime doesn't make us laugh, but it almost makes us cry.

With disappointment as their flag, Bodegas and Casado have just made the definitive portrait, the one that is not funny.

All the previous videos tell of the few illusions that keep us afloat, the pathetic stories that we tell ourselves to follow the carrot.

But with this video they have hit a bone talking about this world in the best possible horizon is conformism, because whoever conforms is because they have something.

And that is a serious and very real problem, worthy of being analyzed by philosophers and anthropologists.

The two of them have done it in a minute and a half.
