Superfruit (often stylized as SUP3RFRUIT) is a comedy web show on YouTube, hosted by Mitch Grassi and Scott Hoying. Grassi and Hoying are both members of the Grammy-award winning a cappella group Pentatonix, and have been friends since they were 10 years old.
While the show mainly focuses on themselves and comedy, the show occasionally features vocal performances by Grassi and Hoying. They also tend to have a number of collaborations with many YouTube celebrities, such as Tyler Oakley, Hannah Hart, Mamrie Hart, Miranda Sings, Todrick Hall, Ricky Dillon, and Connor Franta.
On October 18, 2016, the pair released an original song Bad 4 Us on their channel. Later, on November 15, 2016, they released a second original song Sweet Life, with more official music planned for 2017.
As of May 2017[update], the channel has over two million subscribers and has accumulated over 310 million views.
According to Grassi, he and Hoying were at IHOP one day and both discussed how they wanted to individually start YouTube channels. They decided to launch one together. According to Hoying, the name Superfruit "came from Mitch's random mind". The first Superfruit video was released on August 13, 2013.
Superfruit consists mainly of vlogs about the duo's daily lives and various casual games and competitions, but the channel also features a number of musical projects. Both Grassi and Hoying are members of the LGBTQ community. Although they are not dating anymore, the pair gave themselves the portmanteau Scömìche to represent their relationship. Together they have a cat named Wyatt Blue Grassi-Hoying, who appears in a number of their videos and logo. Most videos feature just Hoying and Grassi, however several include other artists or guests.
