BaratsAndBereta

Luke Pierre Barats (born: ) and Joe Daniel Bereta (born ), better known online as Barats and Bereta, was an American web-based sketch comedy duo formed in 2003. The duo originally made videos to amuse their friends, often combining real and fictional acts. They had met when both were students of Gonzaga University. 
These videos eventually made it onto their website and onto YouTube. Their viral videos have also earned them the description of an internet phenomenon. They currently have over 375,000 subscribers on YouTube. Views of videos released in 2006 have topped over ten million and more "recent" videos have an average of 200,000 views. Both have portrayed characters on the popular YouTube web series The Annoying Orange.
NBC signed them for a one-year deal in 2006. "This is Culdesac", the sketch comedy pilot they produced, directed, wrote, edited, and acted in under contract, was not picked up by NBC. However their next television project was being a more traditional sitcom. The pilot did not result in the series airing.
Their last video was uploaded on the channel on August 9, 2013. It is likely that the duo have disbanded and worked on other solo projects. Both men have worked with Smosh, with Luke being one of the writers and Joe being one of the producers. Joe later became a co-host on another YouTube channel, SourceFed, and later became part of The Valleyfolk, a sketch comedy group. Luke has his own channel and is currently writing for TV shows.
