In the video, Kylie is naming all kinds of bizarre reasons for not wearing a mask, such as: “I can’t breathe in this thing because every time I put it on, I hold my breath on purpose” and “This is just another way to silence women!” and so on.
“I can’t put it on because I’m using one hand to hold the camera!”

Some of the fan’s favorite excuses include: “Someone might mistake me for a medical doctor and say ‘Oh, now you have to pay for medical school’!”, “How do I know if this isn’t full of spiders? There is no way for me to check!” and “My sister’s actually a scientist’s neighbour and she said that you can’t get a coronavirus if you don’t want to”.
When asked, how did she came up with the idea for this video, Kylie told us this: “I wanted to make fun of the flimsiness of the excuses people use for not wearing masks. I was inspired by that viral video a while back of a woman sitting in her car and vlogging about how traumatized she was from wearing a mask for 30 minutes and I thought, ‘oh, she’s absolutely faking this and her commitment to being an idiot is honestly inspiring’. So I basically just tried to channel that energy.”

The video has since gone viral and garnered over 114,000 retweets and more than 401,000 likes. “The response was overwhelmingly positive, but it was wild because, for all the crazy things I said in this video, there were a significant number of people who couldn’t tell it was satire. One guy who didn’t know I was just doing a character sent me a death threat with a picture of a voodoo doll that said: “Wear a mask or you’ll die in a week.” I think I’m gonna frame that and put it on my fridge,” Kylie told us.
“My sister’s actually a scientist’s neighbour and she said that you can’t get a coronavirus if you don’t want to”

When asked, how did the video going viral makes her feel, Kylie said this: “I got so many texts from people listing all the different places they found the video. It was crazy to see how far it had travelled. It’s nice to be recognized for my work, but I definitely changed all my passwords afterwards. I make content regularly, so hopefully, people stick around to see more of my stuff.” We’re sure about that, Kylie!
“What if I eat it? What if I eat it by accident?”

As we’ve mentioned before, Kylie Brakeman is a comedian. “I started improvising in high school and it stuck. I’m a writer and performer at the UCB theatre. I write for the UCB Maude team “Moon Goon” and I perform with UCB’s Characters Welcome and Mess Hall. I also performed with the Pack Theater‘s What a Character, and the Comedysportz LA Main Company. You can find more of my work on my website, kyliebrakeman.com,” Kylie finished.

Share on FacebookThe last comment is the funniest one: '" Please let this be a joke...." Pretty much sums up how stupid and ignorant those people are. And of course they also won't be wearing a mask because of reasons.
Either that or they will be wearing masks but still haven't gotten around to vaccinating their kids yet. I bet they have Norton 360 for their computer though.

HAHAHA!!! Or Christmas themed masks. It's a war on Christmas!!! XD

My sister says you won't get coronavirus if you have a positive attitude. I have not talked to her since she made this statement
waiiit hold up. I didn't understand it was sarcasm until I read the comments. Like, I'm smart, but I legit cannot tell the difference between sarcasm and seriousness lol
Load More Replies...Here in Georgia, Governor [sic] Kemp is suing Atlanta because the city is requiring people to wear masks in public. Clearly he values political expedincy over the lives of registered voters.
The comment about the video being amusing, but he couldn’t laugh in fear of inhaling his mask and choking to death 🤣
She's right--you CAN'T get it if you don't want to. Just say NO. All the time. And by the way, those masks ARE full of spiders. I thought everybody knew that.
Anti maskers in Ohio says wearing a mask takes away their rights, or they don't want to breathe carbon dioxide, or the whole thing is a hoax to take control of us, and a surprising number now magically has a medical condition preventing wearing a mask. (There are people with this issue legit I get it). You cannot get through to these people. At all.
The same people who say it's ok to pump the atmosphere full of CO2. Suddenly they're worried about it.

I am happy because we still have sane people on Earth. But I do understand if people didn't understand the sarcasm.
I can't tell the difference between sarcasm and seriousness, but i'm teaching myself how to try to detect it lmaoo

If I, an individual with autism and skin hypersensitivity , can suck it up and wear the mask in stores, then all you Karens and Kyles can too. THERE IS NO EXCUSE TO NOT WEAR A MASK
How do people not comprehend this is sarcasm? Oh wait forgot most people are complete morons..😂

Of course it was a joke. That's deep sarcasm you get it or you don't.
Antivaxxers and antimaskers share a few common traits - lack of intelligence, lack of self-preservation and lack of consideration for others, effectively showing them for what they are - selfish b....ds and little brittle flowers who can't stand to be told anything.
The insanity. People can't even wear it for like a short while to enter a grocery store? I have to wear it for 8 hours everyday and I don't complain about it. It's not a big deal. But we have these crazies who go out of their way to print fake badges to give them exemption. When the employee at the door tells them no, they flip out at them!!! Like, WHY? WHY? Even if supposedly its a hoax as they claim, why not do it to be extra safe? Why not be a decent human being and treat others with respect? These people have no dignity. None.
Thankyou for being a sane, smart person and wearing a mask.

Aren't you required to eat a certain amount of spiders per year? Or is it about eating the mask WITH the spiders? I'm so confused. I think I'll go snort some cat dander. Wait... it won't go through the mas... never mind.
It's funny when sheep try to act like they are so wise as they are hoarded to the slaughterhouse.
Mask wearing has just become mandatory here in Victoria, Australia and to be honest I think the government should have done it sooner so that the damn virus didn't spread as far and as fast as it did. I hate having my face covered but you can bet your sweet patoot I'll be wearing one from now on! Or it's a $200AUD fine, and I can guarantee we're gonna get our share of anti-maskers because reasons..I think the greater danger is all the damn idiots spreading their bloody stupidity every damn where :/
