The clip, uploaded by comedian Graeme Barrett, known for his previous viral hit “LARPer finding a dead body”, takes viewers on a mock-serious archaeological journey through Toronto’s historic York Cemetery.

However, instead of gold sarcophagi and jeweled offerings, the “tomb” reveals… well, a regular crypt. The anticlimactic punchline is part of the video’s charm, poking fun at both celebrity obsession and the sensationalizing of history.
But the laughs haven’t been universal. Some viewers criticized the video for disrespecting Drake and the cemetery’s sacred grounds. Others highlighted the potential for misinformation, especially amongst those unfamiliar with Barrett’s comedic style.
Despite the mixed reactions, one thing’s for sure: the video has sparked conversation. It raises questions about the line between satire and sensationalism, the dangers of online misinformation, and even the cultural impact of Drake himself.
So, is Drake truly entombed beneath a Toronto tombstone? No, not just yet (spoiler alert: we all shuffle off this mortal coil eventually). But while the actual “tomb” may be a comedic fabrication, the video’s virality is a real testament to the internet’s appetite for humor, intrigue, and sometimes, a good dose of healthy skepticism.
