Internet Comedians Cause Seagull Chaos On Gold Coast Beach With Bizarre Hot Chip Stunt
By Brookie Rolfe
A pair of internet comedians have caused chaos on a popular beach by staging a hot chip stunt that attracted a mass gathering of seag- ulls and ibises.
Pranksters Marty and Michael exe- cuted what they said was a “sci- ence experiment” at Surfers Paradise beach on the Gold Coast Wednesday morning.
It involved Michael’s body being buried in the sand from the neck down and $1000 worth of hot chips being dumped in the space around his
head.
Dozens of oppor- tunistic seagulls and a few rogue ibis eagerly pecked away at the free feed in footage shared to the duo’s Instagram page.
It was unclear
what the pair were hoping to determine in their bizarre experi- ment, but that did- n’t stop many people praising their important “science” work.
“In the name of science I shall approve this mad-
ness,” one person wrote in response to the Instagram post.
“You have out- done Einstein here,” someone else wrote.
“Such a brave man. Thank you for all you do for
science,” a third said.
The comedians, Michael Broekhuyse, 32, and Martin Sokolinski, 33, frequently share videos of them- selves pulling pranks on each other, as well as
comedy sketches.
A recent popular series involved them interacting with each other as though they were cats, with them also gaining viral attention for acting like dogs.
Last year they stopped the AFL grand final match between the Geelong Cats and Richmond Tigers briefly after they invaded the pitch and kicked a goal.
They later boast- ed online saying they planned the field invasion in hope it would bring them inter- net notoriety.
