It’s time. To lip sync. For. Your. Sanity!
Being quarantined with a significant other has either made relationships stronger or blown them to smithereens. It seems like there are only two outcomes for couples who have been trapped at home together: Divorce Court or Big Brother: Couples Edition. One comedic couple might be headed down a different path however, as they would absolutely smash the competition on Lip Sync Battle.
Comedians Rachel Parris and Marcus Brigstocke needed a way to keep busy during these isolated times and thus the #LockdownLipSync challenge was born. The couple takes turns challenging each other to a themed lip sync battle with the performances getting more epic as the days go on. Marcos has covered some throwbacks from Huey Lewis & The News, Bonnie Tyler and Donna Summer. Rachel doesn’t shy away from big names either and has covered Celine Dion, George Michaels and Kelly Clarkson. The lip-syncs are hilarious and so well executed it makes me kinda sad I am not quarantined with the happy couple.
Rachel started the challenge with this “Problem.”
We’re okay.
We’re fine.
This is going okay.@rachelparris and I passing the time…
And KILLING IT! 😍 pic.twitter.com/OsJiGi6yQh— Marcoooos! (@marcusbrig) April 2, 2020
Marcus responded with a “Boom.”
Right…
Well…
Here’s MY response to @rachelparris lip synch yesterday.

Rachel wasn’t afraid to get dramatic all by herself.

This dynamic duo seem like a whole lot of fun and are truly turning lemons into lemonade…new plan, we have to convince them to do a Beyoncé-themed battle!!! The videos are garnering hundreds of thousands of views within hours and rightfully so. We could all use a little laughter during these troubling times!
