Soojeong Son and Ginny Leise -- aka SJ And Ginny -- are two comedians who are extremely comfortable with the uncomfortable.

The Internet officially woke to the duo's magic last year, when their video "Drive-by Street Harassment " garnered over two million views on YouTube. In it, SJ can be seen relentlessly catcalling random dudes on the street, reversing the typical man-harasses-woman scenario, which, in reality, is anything but funny. All the while camera-in-hand Ginny zooms in behind the scenes to catch the men's reactions. Quips like "I love that c**k" are followed by comically gleeful expressions on the faces of the unsuspecting male victims. So much for teaching men a lesson about the experience of street harassment.

Some men were perplexed, maybe even slightly perturbed, but for the most part, most of SJ's targets were, well, amused. The fact that One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful" blares in the background makes the witty social experiment all the more funny. "The lesson here is that ... no one learned anything," Ginny irreverently muses at the end of the video. Cue more One Direction.
