KRAZAM parody sketch in which an Excel streamer, Makro, treats the XLOOKUP function as a game-breaking meta change, spoofing e-sports commentary.

Shared in Excel threads as a funny parody that treats spreadsheets like an e-sport.

That makes me think of these two great parody videos from ~5 years back, of Excel using e-sport tropes, introduced but a (fictional) livestreaming competitor nicknamed Makro. "Microsoft Excel stream highlights" link "XLOOKUP" ▶ this video

Somewhat tangential (more Excel related) but had to put these videos by Krazam somewhere at some point on HN. Enjoy! MAKRO | Microsoft Excel Stream Highlights 3/19 link MAKRO | XLOOKUP: META BREAKER? | Microsoft Excel Stream Highlights 10/19 ▶ this video

You just have to go to Ballmercon. Or are maybe they mean everyone is abandoning excel after they failed to patch out the cheeses and tried to attract the party gamers by breaking the meta with xlookup? ▶ this video

A while ago I watched a couple of videos by Krazam [0][1] on competitive Excel. Thought it was just a sketch, didn't realize it was actually a thing. [0] ▶ this video [1] link
