Comedy sells. With that adage in mind, Endemol Shine Boomdog, a division of Endemol Shine North America, has teamed up with Ecuador-based Touché Films, the driving force behind the hugely popular Latin American YouTube channel, enchufe.tv.
Enchufe.tv has amassed close to 24 million subscribers across the Americas since it launched its first video in 2011.
Renowned for its youth-targeted parodies of films and TV series, its most successful sketch, a parody of the Japanese manga series “Captain Tsubasa” titled “Super Campeones” (Super Champions), has snagged more than 100 million views. Given the region’s predominantly young population, these sketch comedies have skyrocketed in popularity.
Endemol Shine Boomdog and Touché Films are developing a number of projects that they plan to jointly launch in the TV/streaming marketplace later this year, including high school sketch comedy, “Prepa 1-2-3.”
