They would show short clips on TV, but post 5 minute or more videos of YouTube that outlined the whole campaign. They would ask older teenagers what it meant to do something &#8220;like a girl,&#8221; and they acted out the traditional insulting image of what that looked like. Then they would ask the name of younger girls who showed a different meaning of what &#8220;like a girl&#8221; meant to them.

They&#8217;re always funny and are super re-quotable which helps make them more famous (especially the &#8220;humpday&#8221; one).
