The setup

The funny people

Meet the cast. 1

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

Just raw, sometimes offensive, data.

No apps, no screens, just a dude with a nasty mouth and a whole lot of free time.

My Corner Guy is brash, but totally harmless.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

A cheerful spokesman pitches My Corner Guy, a health-tracking service with no hacking risk because it is just a man on your street corner commenting, crudely and without being asked, on your weight, shape and habits. Satisfied customers describe how his insults pushed them into the gym, Pilates and even a period-tracking warning, while the ad admits nobody knows whether he is homeless and warns buyers never to give him their phone number.

    Speaker 1

    My poor guy is trained to hang out near your house and assess your weight, shape, and overall appearance. And there's no risk of hacking or big tech oversight. Just raw, sometimes offensive, data.

    My Corner Guy

    You gotta do something about them legs, my boy. Thought you was my baby mama from the back.

    i was a little skeptical at first but then my corner guy called me a big back biscuit head ass bitch in front of my wife and my kids i'm sure they cried but he was both specific and accurate and i've been in the gym consistently ever since

    Speaker 5

    i was on my way to an important meeting when my corner guy said

  12. 01:18

    My Corner Guy

    Speaker 5

    I signed up for Pilates that afternoon.

  14. 01:26

    Speaker 1

    Now, you may be wondering, is my corner guy homeless? To be honest, we don't know. But his sneakers are clean and he owns a Beats pill that's always charged and fully functional. My corner guy can also keep track of your menstrual cycle somehow.

  15. 01:39

    Speaker 6

    I hadn't had my period for almost two months and was getting worried.

  16. 01:42

    My Corner Guy

    Where you going? Where you going?

  17. 01:43

    Speaker 6

    Then my corner guy told me to, quote, hit his line before Mama Flo came to town and ruined the party. My period came exactly two days later.

  18. 01:52

    Speaker 1

    My Corner Guy comes in a variety of options, uniquely tailored to your lifestyle and neighborhood.

  19. 01:58

    My Corner Guy

    Hey, I don't know what you're eating, but it's going through your ass. Make it easy on the cannoli, huh?

  20. 02:02

    Speaker 1

    And unlike those tech apps that tell you what you want to hear, My Corner Guy keeps it real. He even comments on things I can't change.

  21. 02:08

    My Corner Guy

    He cross-eyed too. He's gonna cross-eye!

  22. 02:12

    Speaker 1

    My Corner Guy is brash, but totally harmless. That being said, do not give him your phone number. He will call and text repeatedly during all hours of the night.

  23. 02:23

    My Corner Guy

    Looking tight as a mug, baby.

  24. 02:25

    Speaker 7
