The comic duo of PanPers, Andrea and Luca: «The no vax theme is delicate but we treated it with irony. The insults? So few! The army of good soldiers has won ”
Who knows if the Italian pharmacists, under such pressure for months and months, imagined becoming the protagonists of an amazing video, with ten million views. An explosive success that of the Turin duo of PanPers (Andrea Pisani and Luca Peracino, comedians, TV presenters, influencers, more than a million subscribers on You Tube, both 34 years old, who became popular thanks to the “Colorado” program) who conceived and gave life to a sketch that makes fun of No Vax in a funny and ironic way, without hatred, which went viral in a few hours. We do not want to spoil the ending of the scene between the scientist-faced pharmacist and the no vax customer who, with a brazen and polemical air, eating a sandwich in a rude way, attacks the pharmacist asking him what is inside the vaccine, that he is not fool to get the vaccine with what’s inside …

Andrea, Luca how was this video born?
–
«The video comes from a format that we have been doing for some years,“ The Odes to the trades ”. We did it for the hairdresser, the waiter, the gas station attendant. We have always chosen figures that people have to deal with on a daily basis. The format has always gone well, but we had left it a bit and wanted to take it back ».
–
And given the period, you thought about the pharmacist …
–
«The historical moment required it .. We would be lying if we said that we did not think of a figure that could be shared by the context we are living in. We shot a 6-minute video, “Ode to the pharmacist” on Youtube and Facebook, then we extracted the funniest moment between the pharmacist and the no vax, just one minute, for Instagram and Tik Tok ».
–
Did you imagine a success of this magnitude?
–
“We didn’t expect it, no. Maybe we hoped for it .. It is certain that we had a media echo that went well beyond our best forecasts ».
–
A delicate issue that of no vax …
–
«In fact we treated him with gloves, with a lot of irony and self-irony, even if when you decide to expose yourself you already know what you are going to meet. It is a provocative video, but not that much, there is no judgmental position on our part and we do not point the finger at no vax. Also because we know that there are people who have had death threats and we wanted to avoid …. ».
–
Some criticism, some attacks have come to you too ..
–
“Yes, but less than expected. The support wave was so massive that the nasty comments ended up in a corner. I think this video is like it has awakened the sharing wave of si vax. And those few no vaxes didn’t have much space. We didn’t feel attacked. This time there was an army of soldiers of the good ones ».
–
Many likes, many compliments
–
«Yes, and many pharmacists have written to us saying“ Thanks, we have given it to many colleagues ”. And they added: “Sometimes reality surpasses fantasy” ».
–
And the idea of making the customer eat a hot dog?
–
“Thinking about the idea of filth to eat, the hot dog came to mind .. Thinking about it, this video has an aura of protection .. We could have been massacred by no vax, attacked by sausage producers and even by Coca Cola … it went well. Everyone understood the irony ».
–
Where did the great success come from?
–
“Without a doubt from Tik Tok. It is the social network that works most of all at the moment. Our video there alone was seen by 4 million people. Or rather, he is best able to understand what works the most, so that a video becomes viral ».
–
And after such a success, what do you do?
–
“We enjoy it. And on Saturday we resume the theatrical tour interrupted by the pandemic. Let’s start from Asti and we will go on until May ».
