Every crew has a guy who does something so specifically strange that it becomes a full-blown storyline, and on the Yak that guy is currently Brandon. The offense: taking his pet birds on vacation with him, apparently while also managing to get sunburned through a t-shirt. Two unrelated facts, sure, but put them next to each other and you've got the makings of a proper roast.
The Yak kicked off the ribbing by clowning Brandon for the sunburn-through-a-shirt and bird-toting double whammy.
Naturally the show turned it into a debate, because that's what the Yak does with anything remotely divisive. Is bringing your birds on a beach trip a harmless quirk, or a red flag? The account put it to the audience directly with a 'Fair or Fowl' referendum, which is either the dumbest or funniest premise for a segment this week, depending on how you feel about pet birds and airport security lines.
Nicky Clicky wasted no time delivering the verdict everyone was waiting for. Not a nuanced take, not a shrug — a straight-up 'that's white trash,' no follow-up needed.
Nicky Clicky drops the 'white trash' verdict on Brandon's vacation birds, no hedging involved.
Brandon, to his credit, isn't taking the L quietly. He's reportedly been trying to mount a defense of the birds-at-the-beach decision to his co-hosts, which is its own kind of content — a grown man justifying his travel-pet choices on camera because the internet demanded an explanation.
Brandon attempts to talk his way out of the bird backlash in front of the rest of the cast.
None of this settles anything, obviously — the Fair or Fowl vote will probably split right down the middle, and Brandon will probably keep bringing his birds wherever he wants. But that's the appeal of these Yak bits: a guy gets sunburned, someone calls him white trash for owning parakeets, and suddenly it's the plot of the week.
