It's not that uncommon for drag queens to not be recognised out of drag. even with my beard and distinctive voice I've had co-workers not recognise me.
You should do a ‘My Strange Addiction - Revisited’ like those shows always do where they revisit the people on them like a year later to see if they’ve overcome their addiction… 💀
SO many people still think this was a real episode! A few times people have said "remember the one where they're addicted to being furniture" and I'm like nooo that was novympia!!
I say this with every amount of love possible, but of all things for Nova to critique about her appearance in that video it is hilarious that it's the bra strap x
I overheard my coworkers talk about the addicted to furniture video a few weeks ago, saying "people are into some weird shit" and it took everything in me to not erupt into laughter and let them in on the joke! It was a game changer of a video 😂😂
Imagine seeing this video as a child and having no idea it was fake. Just thinking it's a 17 year old girl in a lesbian relationship with a woman who wears a jewel on her forehead.
I remember seeing the furniture vid for the first time and yes, for a hot minute I thought it was legit. I had to watch it twice. Years went by and I forgot all about it. RUclips recommended "Ask a Mantician" and as a huge " Ask a Mortician" fan, I clicked the link. Glad I found you girls again. You two make me laugh. Cheers for a successful 2022.
The things you don't like about this video make it great. The normal things in the background, the un-polished style, it makes it so much funnier. I still love this video!
I remember watching that video back when it came out, and at first thinking it was legit just because I was watching a lot of picky eaters/strange addiction around then. I like "variety" channels, it means there's more to keep your interest than the same sort of thing all the time
oh god I remember a loooong time ago at a music festival I had engaged in some unsober activities and could not get myself out of a loop of this 💀💀💀💀 like there were these long rows of wooden benches by this stage and I ran right up to them and started planking on one and was like I'M A BENCH~~~ like sobbing laughing having this wild inside joke moment with myself while my friends were so confused and I'm over here becoming one with the wood 💀💀💀💀💀
These kinds of comparison videos serve an important purpose though, they remind people who might just be starting out at things that you don't need to start off perfect when trying something new, and everyone goes through a progression of developing their skills!
Being in a space age hippie cult would make a great video. Especially if it's "your regular suburban chick" who loves being furniture trying to stage an intervention to save her girl from said cult.
You've singlehandedly got me saying 'fannying around' regularly to my household, Olympia. braaah-VO!! I've even caught my bf saying it. Oh yay, an Ann Reardon cameo! I lover her. And thank you, it WAS a happy birthday despite the shitty restaurant service at dinner!
The funniest part is that some people actually believed this was a real video... 1:30 Wait, so you're trying to tell me you were men in wigs all along?! I would have never guessed. 2:30 You should redo the whole video for 10 year anniversary. With all the new editing and magic tricks you (will) know and all the better makeup and new house. 4:20 To be fair I have watched it like 10 times - so I wouldn't say it is 100k.
I re-watched the video super recently so this is crazy. It was the video that brought me into this cult many moons ago. Still as incredibly funny as it was back then.
Not even joking - for YEARS I thought this was an actual episode of the series. I felt so bad for her!! It didn’t hit me till your more recent parodies that this is a gag
Regardless of all the faults that you see when you look at this video now through the eyes of people who've been evolving and working for years since you made it, I think you can be very proud of what you created. You're both very down to earth in the ways that matter, and you're always going to pick something to pieces when you care about what you are creating, even if you know intellectually that it was you doing really well with what you knew and where you were in your progression at the time. Most people would kill to create something so popular and long-living just once in their lives, and I reckon you can both be proud as punch. I was very late to the party, as you pointed out in no uncertain terms when I commented on the video after I found it not so long ago, but I've thoroughly enjoyed your channel ever since and it's one of the few entertainment channels that I can depend on to deliver a good laugh and some clever but unpretentious fun whenever the urge or need strikes. Anyway, congrats and best of luck for the future. When finances allow you're definitely people I'd like to support further with a Patreon subscription (yeah, things are tight - well, money is... 🤫) Chookas - Matt, Sydney AUS.
This was the first Novympia video I ever saw. I was blown away by the high standard and the humour. It was such an addictive video. I sent the link to that video to so many people. They all loved it. My other fave vid from Novympia was the episode of This Wine Tastes Like Crap where Olympia tells us the story of Kunja De Barry (or however you spell it). It was hilarious.
This was actually the first thing I remember exposing me to drag! I remember thinking that it was funny but I had no idea what the way these people were dressed was adding to the joke.
The washing machine bit has been my absolute favorite since I watched this masterpiece all those years ago!!!!! I do the washing machine to my kids all the time and I'm convinced they think I'm insane
I recently watched the furniture video. Hilarious. Sent it to several friends to introduce them to you. That and Mrs. Crocombe. You guys are helping me survive The Plague. Thank you for something to laugh about.
OMG, the I Am Furniture video is my all-time fave on your channel! It's the video that drew me onto your channel. The reaction by Daz Black is hilarious, because at first he thought it was real lmao!
I think it was the Ladbible thievery that introduced me to the video and this channel. While I'm irritated on your behalf about people benefitting from your video, I'm glad I got to find you guys. I fucking love this channel so much.
The sound in the introduction and in the birthday names sounds like the pointless (game show) sound when they look at the pointless points. Now you won’t be able to unhear it x
Long time lurker & lover x Found you through wow when you did reviews before you hit 1000, so I was just as surprised when this blew up! Olympia, your accent is so much less Kiwi now, and Nova is much more out of their shell. And let's not talk about the style journeys! You both should be proud
My bf and I have glasses with random drinks in them all over our apartment so I finally feel seen. Also I remember watching this video at the time and thinking it's a real episode of my strange addiction. Then years later I started watching your channel and for a long time I didn't realize that it was you!!!😂
I'll never forgot the first time I watched that video. It was recommended after a Jaboody Dubs video, and I fully believed that is was a real episode clip, and that my weird addiction was just the European name, and British TV has such a certain style I did not question it.
Just wanted to share a funny coincidence that happened to me earlier today. At 2:02, my friend said, "honey, you got a big storm coming." And guess what? Right after she said that, I got a notification about a severe thunderstorm heading our way! 😂
I can remember seeing that furniture video on Facebook and I loved it! I immediately went to your channel and subscribed! Pretty sure that was 3-4 years ago now 🤔 I eventually got my husband onto your channel and now whenever there's a new video all that can be heard in the house is "the girls are on!!!". We both rush to the lounge and settle in for whatever wild ride you have planned 😜 sending you both lots of love from down under 😘🙃
How can you not be happy with this it’s one of your best legendary uploads it’s hilariously funny because it’s so raw the amateur aspect of it is what makes it a classic in your catalogue
HOW have you NOT done a Jacilyn Hill parody girls? all those failed launches with Becca and Morphe that so called 'wasn't' her fault THEN failed launches in her OWN brand. the way she over emphasizes how much she LOVES EVERY product she reviews from Amazon plus other companies.. hairy lipsticks?? C'MON 🤣🤣🤣
It was that video that made me subscribe years ago. And every time I make a new RUclips account I always resubscribe 😂 (you’ve made it through 5 different accounts). Love you both x
I am so glad to watch this video and you describing the feeling of views and the beginnings. I am so close to 50 subscribers and I never ever even imagined that I would ever ever get mire than my friends! This feels so wierd to say but i feel inspired by this to keep going!
its weird because I had completely forgotten about that video. and for a while couldn't remember how I even found your channel... but it was from that video!
Olympia's wig in that video reminds me of Adelle for some reason lol everytime I see that video or images of it, I think of when I first started to listen to Adelle in her first album 😂 she also kind of looked alike.
I remember my science teacher showing this iconic video to our class😂 I became a subscriber years later and was like oh they made the strange addition video no way!😂💗
I know what you mean with the original getting reposted everywhere, I had seen a clip of the furniture video years ago on a my strange addiction compilation, but when I started watching you guys (a few months before come dine with me) it didn't click that it was you until I found the full video on your channel also "that was originally going to be a series on Wow presents plus.... and now it's the prize for drag race" LMAO I love Drag Race UK but it's seriously fucked up that the prizes are some metal pins and a chance to sit in Wow Presents basement and record something in from of a green screen
The first thing I thought of “you still my girl” was from Buffy. 03x17 Enemies when Buffy says she needs time to process what happened during the episode. Her response to Angel is “always”.
I can’t believe someone asked you if you had seen this video with no idea 😂😂
It's not that uncommon for drag queens to not be recognised out of drag. even with my beard and distinctive voice I've had co-workers not recognise me.
@@shanemorris3554 I didn’t realize that was them in the video until almost a year after I discovered them and came across that parody again lol
You should do a ‘My Strange Addiction - Revisited’ like those shows always do where they revisit the people on them like a year later to see if they’ve overcome their addiction… 💀
Seconded!!!!!
Omg!!! Please ❤❤❤
i would pay good money to have you recreate this video
Or a follow up how they are after finally admitting the addiction and so on. Now that she maybe reached 20. :)
@@kalamona7530 it would be funnier if she still claimed to be 17.
But this time have a light turn on by her string from her earrings 😂
Starring “bent fucking pigeon lady” and “suspicious looking woman”.
SO many people still think this was a real episode! A few times people have said "remember the one where they're addicted to being furniture" and I'm like nooo that was novympia!!
Less strange than some real episode's.
Cannot wait for the feature-length parody, "Educating Nova"
Which will lead into the spin off series "Nova Knows"
Can everyone else apart from Nova as Julie Walters be olympia ?
"For just .25 a month, you can make a difference in a drag queen's life and get them the education they need"
Such an iconic video, should do a sequel where she relapses after attending the DFS sale x
Hilarious! 😂😂😂
LOST FOOTAGE GIRLS. I can't wait to spy you in MORE 4K! ;D
That clip alone made me subscribe lmao
I say this with every amount of love possible, but of all things for Nova to critique about her appearance in that video it is hilarious that it's the bra strap x

Literally the exact same thing for me.

I love when the sarcasm is done so dry that no one is sure if youre serious or not 😅

Ok can we all just take a moment to acknowledge the fact that Nova looks totally delicious with that beard on
Not to mention the eyeliner 😏
The video that got me hooked on your humour...it was game changing stuff.
Also I need Nova's tee
@Guytrash Gurtdog Arf!

Nova in the video looks like she's going for space age hippie in a cult vibe 🤣

How have I never seen this parody after all the hours I’ve spent on RUclips?!?! This looks sublime!
The funniest part is that some people actually believed this was a real video...
1:30 Wait, so you're trying to tell me you were men in wigs all along?! I would have never guessed.

I can't take my eyes from Nova's shirt as it folds right on Buffy's eyes turning her glare into "Judgmental Buffy disapproves of you" kind of look.
Loud witch cackling at this reaction (as well as GOOOOOOOOLDFINGAAAAAA) aside, Nova looks *so good* with the eyeliner omfg
This was actually the first thing I remember exposing me to drag! I remember thinking that it was funny but I had no idea what the way these people were dressed was adding to the joke.
The washing machine bit has been my absolute favorite since I watched this masterpiece all those years ago!!!!! I do the washing machine to my kids all the time and I'm convinced they think I'm insane
Nova said the Blair Witch Necklace was distracting, but I swear to Jesus I never even noticed it!!! 😂
I recently watched the furniture video. Hilarious. Sent it to several friends to introduce them to you. That and Mrs. Crocombe. You guys are helping me survive The Plague. Thank you for something to laugh about.
Busted out at the mouth-dubbing hahaha
First time getting to watch early via the cult patron! This is awesome!!!
The lampshade should be saved for the future novympia museum .
7:10 I think ur talkin about Daz Black's reaction 2 this parody vid. That was also how I 1st found out about u both. Luv ur vids, Nova x Olympia! ❤
OMG, the I Am Furniture video is my all-time fave on your channel! It's the video that drew me onto your channel. The reaction by Daz Black is hilarious, because at first he thought it was real lmao!

You guys are my favorite non-Drag race queens. Which is NOT a read. You both are fabulous!!
Much love! 😁🥂

You guys are hilarious I still loose it at the aunt chaise lounge bit
Thanks
I can't lie, Buffy on Nova's t-shirt looking like 😑😑was so distracting from 5:57 onwards
The sound in the introduction and in the birthday names sounds like the pointless (game show) sound when they look at the pointless points. Now you won’t be able to unhear it x

This and the assumptions video have been really nice in getting to know you girls. Very interesting and quite enjoyable! It felt like a 3 min video.
The Furniture parody video still cracks me up. Absolutely love it! ❤️
Why are you sorry about that video. It was what made me subscribe and absolutely SENT me bro. It was hysterical.
Ok but I was in high school at the moment and i literally did a whole group project + oral presentation about it THINKING IT WAS REAL
What grade did you get? 😆

So Olympia... that hoodie... where from, miss? I need it in my life!!
This literally was the video I first saw of you guys and been subscribed ever since. It truly was and still is a masterpiece! haha!
What about "where are they now"(like the Oprah segment) for that video parody? Haha.
I love that Olympia knows that daz called her a line backer
I am so glad to watch this video and you describing the feeling of views and the beginnings. I am so close to 50 subscribers and I never ever even imagined that I would ever ever get mire than my friends! This feels so wierd to say but i feel inspired by this to keep going!
The necklace and the hair make it 10x funnier 😂 it's like they were intentional comedy gold
I still love that some people commenting on this when it originally aired who thought it was real!
I just answered one of my work emails with ''Honey, you've got a big storm coming.'' because of this video. Was time for a career change anyway.
Thank you for the Educating Rita references. I was totally there!
I loved your one friend joke 💜
You two light up my world Just a bit. Thank you!! The world is better with yall in it. 💖💖
i think this was the first time i saw nova tearing up from laughter
the advances on robots are starting to amaze me

its weird because I had completely forgotten about that video. and for a while couldn't remember how I even found your channel... but it was from that video!
AAAAAAAHHHHHHH LOVE YOUR BUFFY T-SHIRT NOVA!!!!!!!!!!
LOVING THE BUFFY SHIRT! have a couple myself. HUGE buffy fan here (have all 7 seasons box set and all 5 seasons of Angel lol). Yaaas queens slaaay!😍

Congrats on 4K video but please, keep Char in 480p.
The Buffy shirt made my big dumb 90s kid ass so happy! That’s my favorite show ever!!
I’m pissing myself at Novas shirt at 11:01
Your memory for weird little snippets from pop culture and random stuff is amazing.
I never noticed what lovely skin nova has! Its so clear! 😄💗
That’s such a shame!! It was years between me seeing the viral video and finding your real channel! I would have been on board straight away 💃
not me wanting y'all to make a remake of this with updated jokes and updated equipment...
