What is the sketch about? Flour?
In August 2019, the official Backdoor YouTube channel posted Floura three-minute sketch that went viral on the social networks of Mexico. “Police officers always make sure that the drugs they seize are real. To protect the law and human rights obviously. what other reason could there be?” reads the official description of the video that already accumulates almost 60 million views today.
The short story begins with officer Ramírez presenting the lieutenant with alleged drug packages seized by the authorities. When she comments that there was only one sample left to prove that she really was cocaine, the clumsy protagonist decides to try it himself and puts on quite a show in front of those present to give his final verdict… she is not cocaine, but flour. The situation made thousands of users laugh because of the satire centered on an inept and unserious police officer for fiction. After nearly three years, Harina has her own version of herself on the small screen.
