Newton Hoo (born 20 October 20XX) and Byran Loo (born 14 October 20XX), commonly known by their YouTube channel name Hoo & Loo, are a Singaporean comedy duo. They are known for creating and hosting the controversial web series Every Day is a HooLooDay, on which they claim to present local news in a “satirical and occasionally entertaining” fashion.

Hoo and Loo came to mainstream attention in June 20XX following the release of an episode on the video game Among Us 2. As a consequence of their fiery and unorthodox style, observers have since variously labelled the duo as “clowns”, “opportunistic contrarians”, and “harbingers of tragedy”.

Online career
Hoo and Loo started their YouTube channel in late 20XX, after graduating from Singapore Free School and failing to find employment on the job market. Drawing inspiration from the podcast The Joe Rogan Experience, Hoo came up with the idea of a satirical web series to “teach people right from wrong”. This concept was eventually developed into Every Day is a HooLooDay. Due to a series of unfortunate circumstances, their channel has since surpassed 1.6 million subscribers.

In certain episodes, the duo have collaborated with other notable personalities, including entertainer Jim Gough and commentator Joe Rogan, Hoo's original inspiration.

Animal abuse controversy
On 7 November 20XX, a leaked audio recording of Loo was published by an anonymous user on the microblogging platform Weibo. In the recording, Loo claimed that he had an “insatiable lust” for the “blood of young poodles”. In an accompanying video, a man alleged to be Loo was depicted a baby chihuahua. The recordings immediately triggered considerable public uproar.

When interviewed on CNA regarding the incident, Hoo expressed support for his partner and stated that “those curs deserve what they get”, leaving the studio immediately after saying so. This further exacerbated calls online for the duo to be cancelled. Nevertheless, due to insufficient evidence, no criminal charges have been filed against Loo.

Personal lives
Hoo and Loo met in early 20XX as roommates in Singapore Free School. Hoo studied reactionary philosophy, reactionary politics, & reactionary economics, while Loo studied Reddit psychology. Both graduated cummy cum laude in 20XX.

The duo now live together in a studio flat in Geylang, Singapore, which also serves as their venue for recording YouTube episodes.
