'''[http://www.youtube.com/user/BaratsAndBereta Barats and Bereta]''' are an Internet comedy duo who write, act, and post skits on their Youtube channel as well as their own [http://www.baratsandbereta.com/ Homepage]. Some of their older, better known works are [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhcA4Ry65FU Mother's Day], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtEp5yc-g3A Auto Insurance], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiXhQUym0fA Flag Makeover], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fad6eZTDikA Douche Off], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvltzwkUEEA Mantage] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5rF_X-8LiI Jesus Pwned U]. There are also some short series, such as [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAXwaqbRol4 Ad Guys].
They are probably known most for their usage of [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]] and [[Narm Charm]] as vehicles for their work.

* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Luke Barats and Joe Bereta should be the [[Web Original]] posterboys for this trope. Their characters are often examples of this as well.

▲* [[Murder Arson and Jaywalking]] in "Mattress Sale!". "Cause Monday I go to prison for tax evasion, and child pornography, and Jaywalking."
▲** Also a recurring gag in "the Mantage" where 'cuddling a kitten' is inexplicably added to the list of manly activities.
▲* [[Precision F-Strike]]: In "Mousemate" and "Ad Guys".

** "F U!" is a video composed of three people flipping off annoying people in the most amazingly over-the-top fashions possible. The first person lets his dog shit in a guy's yard right next to his paper, the second person, a girl, blows a kiss to someone's boyfriend while the girlfriend is walking right next to him, and the third guy drank all his roommate's beers. It must be seen to be truly appreciated.
** "Boston Jury Duty" is one big [[Take That]] at the New York Yankees. It's a slow burn, but the pay off is so worth it.
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: Pretty much everything they do qualifies.
