How it's made
The jokes are cartoon. The facts are real.
The pictures, voices and music are made with AI tools. A person picks every topic, writes every script and makes every edit.
Every fact is checked against real sources, like research papers, Kew Gardens, Guinness World Records and UK law. They're all listed under each video, so you can check them too.
Got a question?
The one you've always been too embarrassed to ask.
Send it to Perk. It might become his next Short. Brands and press, it's the same address.
