What people said
Same here
Who's the green guy?
Wait, "Big" and "Small" — isn't that just two guys?! (that was the joke)
Guess he actually joined back in 2019
So it's three middle-aged guys: 49, 51, and 35
They started out as a duo, then a third member joined later to make it a trio
The one who just got married is the one who joined later
They originally worked as a two-man act, then brought in a disciple as a member
Also turns out the big one is only 183cm (6'0") — not even that huge

Saying "Guri" means nothing to me, just tell me if it's the Big one or the Small one!
But then it turns out there are two Smalls now…
Big Small'n's YouTube numbers
Subscribers: over 2.5 million
Total views: past 2.9 billion — by far #1 among comedian YouTubers
Wait, when did these guys become YouTubers with that many subscribers? All I remember is some mismatched duo doing arm-balance tricks — I genuinely thought they'd quit comedy and disappeared ages ago
the ages sound fake
what's the target audience even supposed to be?
and a Pokémon trainer came up — is that actually him?
but he pretty much only does assistant-level stuff
don't go calling yourself Big Small'n
He kind of looks like that charisma guy from one of the Sakamichi idol groups who does the fainting bit
forgot his name though
In their case it's less about Japanese devotees and more that they got discovered worldwide
language-independent comedy bits are strong like that
Background and key points of this discussion
Big Small’n originally worked as a two-man comedy duo, but an enthusiastic fan became their apprentice and officially joined in 2019, turning the group into a trio. Guri, whose marriage was reported this time, is the member who joined later. On the forum, the dominant reactions were things like “I thought they were a duo” and “when did they become three?” — with more surprise directed at the group’s changing lineup than at the marriage itself. It was also noted that their YouTube channel has over 2.5 million subscribers and more than 2.9 billion total views, prompting further surprise that they’ve maintained such high name recognition despite a relatively low TV profile in recent years. Rather than commenting on Katrina’s marriage itself, the thread’s focus was largely on the group’s origins and career trajectory. It’s also known — from her own remarks on a TV program — that she started doing impressions after an experience she had working at a diner following her junior high graduation.
