We\u2019ve all had that boyfriend (well, I haven\u2019t – I\u2019m a heterosexual male who\u2019s never been, erm, \u201ccurious\u201d) who\u2019s a bit of a rogue, a player, a scoundrel and, quite frankly, a mega-douche. They drink, they cheat, they play around with your step-sister and then later, once you expose them for their selfish wrongdoings, they make excuses: it\u2019s always the alcohol, the drugs or, in some cases, peyote from Chief Red Beard. And then they come knocking on your door, claiming to be a changed man, begging for forgiveness, ready to shower you with sparkly gifts they probably got for half-price off eBay, fully expecting you to just take \u2018em back, and the whole process just starts all over again.<\/p>\n

This situation is imagined in a brand new short from YouTube comedy troupe Zeke Mahogany, entitled \u201cPearl Necklace.\u201d The rib-tickling clip, which lasts a measly two minutes, features the comic talents of Mike E. Winfield and Melanie Merkosky as the feuding couple, who argue in the latter\u2019s doorway, with hilarious results. It is one of over 25 sketches uploaded by Zeke Mahogany, many of which have been featured on, among others, ESPN, Huffington Post, Gawker TV and Failblog ever since the channel’s inception in September of 2010. Zeke Mahogany have also promised a new sketch every Monday, so make sure you subscribe for an amusing, possibly surreal start to each coming week.<\/p>\n
