Justin Bieber Guest Stars In Rudy Mancuso’s ‘Racist Superman’ Comedy Sketch

Justin Bieber has a long history on YouTube, but as far as we know, The Biebs has never appeared in a comedy sketch on the video site — until now. The pop star, who hails from London, Ontario, portrays a Canadian version of Superman in Rudy Mancuso‘s latest video.

The video, titled ‘Racist Superman,’ chronicles a meeting of several different supermen in a diner. The heroes, who all hail from different ethnic backgrounds, agree that there can only be one Superman, so they argue over who deserves that honor. In addition to Bieber, who imagines a north-of-the-border version of the DC Comics favorite, the video also features creators like King BachAlesso, and Anwar Jibawi, all of whom are partnered with Shots Studios.

This is not Bieber’s first collaboration with the Shots family. He previously appeared as an interview guest in an episode of Awkward Puppets, which features a voice cast led by Mancuso.

Bieber’s relationship with YouTube dates back to the video site’s early days. In 2007, when he was just 12 years old, he began uploading videos to the kidrauhl YouTube channel, which remains active to this day. After his videos caught the eye of a talent manager, he secured a record deal. More than a decade later, he’s exploring new territory on YouTube, and he’s bringing his thickest Canadian accent with him.
