Overly Sarcastic Productions

Overly Sarcastic Productions, is an educational YouTube channel that covers topics in classic and ancient mythology, literature, and history, usually presenting them with animation in a humorous style. The two hosts go by pseudonyms Red (born: )https://twitter.com/OSPyoutube/status/1139950785595367426 and Blue (born: February 6).https://twitter.com/OSPyoutube/status/1093008039446220800 Until now, neither of the two have revealed their real names yet.
The first video on the channel was a project Red made for a class assignment on Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing uploaded on December 18, 2012. She and Blue, her good friend from high school, began using the channel to post informative and humorous videos about literature, mythology, classics, and history. Red draws most of the animations for the videos.
From their website, "Red considers her half of the channel a thinly-veiled excuse to incessantly discuss her special interests without boring her friends and family to tears or homicide," and "Blue considers his half of the channel an expansive exercise in time traveling wish-fulfillment, and a great excuse to both learn from and laugh at the past. What's Augustus going to do, reach out from 14 AD and stab him?"
