How two brothers created an online comedy hit with relatable content.
Two Pretoria brothers got the surprise of their lives when a comedy skit filmed for fun turned their Afrikaans comedy channel into an online sensation.
For Dylan and Armand Pretorius, the breakthrough came after they posted a reel about the first day of school earlier this year. "It just feels so surreal," said Dylan of their social media page Hou My Dop.
At the time, it had just 200 followers. The brothers went to bed hoping they might reach 1,000 followers by the end of the year.
Instead, Christmas came early. The next morning, Armand phoned Dylan with news neither of them saw coming.
