Wrong show. This is dropout.tv's Crows Control. Dropout is a newer streaming service, and Crowd Control is an audience-driven, live improv, stand up comedy show. It's pretty good!

Comedians Meet Voice Acting Royalty

Edit: a better description of the show from the article:

"Crowd Control” features a trio of comedians as they compete against one another in a battle of the best crowdwork with no prewritten material allowed.

I'd say it's absurdist humor. The thought of having such a highly specialized profession be treated like something as commonplace as a barber (both doing work on the head) is pretty absurd.

Could also be some play on the history of barber-surgeons, where the professions were one in the same.

Eh, I'm not sure about that. I have an Invisalign retainer and have been 3d printing for a few years now, and from the looks of it they just did a regular FDM printing of the teeth then vacuume-formed plastic over that. Having printed the same files myself (dentist was happy to give the scan to me), and seeing as the retainer has very visible layer lines on the inside (too thick for resin printing), that seems more likely.
