VIDEO: Gabe Dunn Is Virginia Woolf’s Personal Assistant

The internet is stuffed with videos everyone’s always telling you to stop what you’re doing and watch, and some of them are fine and a few of them are really funny and very occasionally one of them is literally perfect. This video is that last thing. In only 2 minutes and 51 seconds, Gabe Dunn relays the full experience of being Virgina Woolf’s personal assistant. I don’t want to tell you anything about the video because every second is essential and hilarious.

If you’ve got a few extra minutes, you can enjoy Vita Sackville-West and Virgina Woolf’s for real love letters to each other.

Look here Vita — throw over your man, and we’ll go to Hampton Court and dine on the river together and walk in the garden in the moonlight and come home late and have a bottle of wine and get tipsy, and I’ll tell you all the things I have in my head, millions, myriads — They won’t stir by day, only by dark on the river. Think of that. Throw over your man, I say, and come.”

  1. What on earth do you like about this? It’s a collection of suicide jokes with weak puns on titles of her works. I like Gaby Dunn a lot, but this isn’t just boring, it’s offensively bad.
