Natural Ketchup is a comedy sketch from Tally Hall's Internet Show. The sketch is available to watch on Tally Hall's official YouTube page.[1] The format of Natural Ketchup is a play on the popular guessing game "20 Questions", and features Zubin Sedghi telling the rest of the band about a "natural" kind of ketchup that is darker than Heinz.
Virality
The YouTube video went viral on Tumblr,[citation needed] and was picked up by Komando.com in 2013.[2] and as of January 2024, the video has 490,000+ views; making it the 9th most watched video on the Tally Hall YouTube page[3]
Legacy
The skit has also become a popular in-joke within the Tally Hall fandom, with fans referencing/quoting/recreating the skit (sometimes in full!)[4]
In 2020 on episode 6 of Keep Up The Good Work, Zubin revealed that he has since discovered a new, "even better" Natural Ketchup from Trader Joes.[5]
In October 2023 a collective of animators came together to animate the skit. The multi-animator project took 2 years to release.[6]
Trivia
- The song that plays during the credits is "Little Wonders" by Rob Thomas.
- Zubin also reveals in Keep Up The Good Work episode 6, that their friend Ricky Lax wanted to call the skit "Organic Ketchup".[7]
The skit was referenced on the Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum 2022 rerelease art, where Joe is sitting on a box with "Natural Ketchup" on it.
