One couple turned the monotony of social distancing and lockdown orders into an elaborate lip-syncing game.
Comedians Rachel Parris and Marcus Brigstocke started posting videos of themselves lip-synching to famous songs in early April. Eventually, the videos went viral, and now the couple is trying to out-do one another with even more elaborate lip-sync videos.
It all started with Parris' video where she sang along with Iggy Azalea and Jennifer Hudson in their song "Trouble."
We’re okay.

We’re fine.
This is going okay.@rachelparris and I passing the time...
And KILLING IT! ???? pic.twitter.com/OsJiGi6yQh
When that video took off, Brigstocke decided to one-up his wife by lip-syncing DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince's "Boom! Shake The Room."
Right...

From there, the couple has been creating more lip-sync videos, challenging each other to get even more creative.
