Well hello! I’m Geoff Plitt, and welcome to What You Need to Know, the brief, weekly newsletter where I share the best comedy videos I’ve seen all week. It will always be free, and you’re welcome to become a friend by following me on Twitter, Threads, Instagram, or TikTok, where I share my own jokes every day.

And now, the funny videos you came for:

4. Here’s something fun that I watched this week— a hilarious old Fry & Laurie sketch where they play “psycho” psychiatrists:

Thanks for reading! Have a great weekend.
