K-Mondays: Badump Badump (두근두근) ~Gag Concert Skit~

Badump Badump is a skit on Gag Concert which is my current favorite skit now. When I went to Dubai for the holidays, I watched Gag Concert on KBS World and tried to look for good skits, since I wasn't familiar with the skits anymore (because they were all new ones). 

Guy: Why did you suddenly ask to see a movie?

Girl: I've wanted to see this, and you're the only one that was free.

Guy: Why would you watch this movie? You only watch action movies. 

Why watch a romantic comedy? Do you want to be in a relationship?

*cue opening tune of Ode to my Family by The Cranberries*

I like this skit because it's not your usual skit with all the funny lines and body gags but because it's based on a love story between two friends who are too afraid to admit that they like each other and so when it's being implied (that they like each other), they go all "OMG he/she's going to find out" or "I really like this feeling but I can't tell him/her" on their minds. There are many instances and the screen shot above is one example. The situation is funny itself. They would always do things together (like watch a movie) and insist that they only do so because they're both single and really good friends yet they don't want to admit to each other that they do want to be in a relationship (with one another) or something like that. The opening tune of the "Ode to my Family" by The Cranberries is the background music for when they're feeling all fuzzy inside that they seem like a couple but they're not (officially) committed. 

Another part of this skit is the funny younger sister of the girl who is also close to the guy, since they're good friends. The younger sister would always see the two doing something together outside which often seems like a date. However, when the sister would finally say a line that should be "Are you two dating?," instead she will say something else that would make them seem like they're indeed just friends, and that would be the punch line.

In the end, these two would still be friends that has feelings for each other that they would never(?) admit, and that's just too funny for us viewers. We'll never know, once this skit ends, the two idiots might eventually end up together like they would always do in the dramas and movies. For now, let's just enjoy them being all giddy inside and while denying that they want to be in each other's arms! (while we laugh at them)
