Details about the Saidden brothers and Superwog

The Saidden brothers have Greek and Egyptian roots, and their quirky humor led to the creation of Superwog videos on YouTube, which garnered over 55 million views, according to The Sydney Morning Herald (SMH).

In an interview with the SMH, Theo stated that they have always “loved impersonating people.” Further, the two of them are “very close,” and their “core foundations” are the same.

According to Theo, Superwog germinated when he got bored with his university studies and decided to get inspired by Sacha Baron Cohen and Fat Pizza and “so something for the wogs.”

Theo states that he and Nathan decided to “re-enact scenes” from their parents’ fighting, as they loved observational humor. Nathan states that both of them “always had fun” and that the videos were their “reality.”
