Gap Yah

Gap Yah is a comedy sketch that gained widespread popularity and press coverage, especially in the United Kingdom, after being published on the video-sharing site YouTube in February 2010.

It was created and performed by the University of Oxford graduate Matt Lacey of sketch comedy theatre troupe The Unexpected Items.

The video depicts a student named Orlando describing to his friend Tarquin several of his experiences and encounters during a gap year in Tanzania, Peru and Burma, all of which resulted in him vomiting—or "chundering"—everywhere.

[3] The video is a spoof of the British upper-middle-class ex-public school students (using distinctively drawn-out vowels)—commonly known as rahs—who boast about their experiences, typically in the third world, prior to attending university.

"[4] A sequel to the sketch, entitled Gap Yah 2: Afterparty was released on 26 April 2010, it was also highly successful, reaching over 1.4 million views by September 2018.
