Their comedy is something they've won millions of fans over. And while Vic said they're "committed" to their craft, they're often shocked people enjoy their sense of humor.

"My sense of humor has always been deeply absurd and very committed," they said in an interview with Slash Film. "I think I've always found it so funny to say something that I thought was going to be funny and it not really landing and then just going, 'Okay, well, my only option if I want this to land is to commit so hard to it, ground it, and make it really real, and then maybe people will find it funny.'"

"The fact that there are people who think that's funny, too, is very affirming," they added. "I love being able to connect with people in that way and be like, 'Oh yeah, I'm not alone. You're not alone. We're doing this together.'"
