Pomato (company)

Pomato Studio Limited is a Hong Kong video production company that creates online comedic skits.

History
Pomato's members are people born in the 1990s who largely attended Hong Kong Baptist University's film school. Pomato was borne from Ko Kong Lin, Kenneth, Kwan Ho Kit, and Kiko's film school project. After collaborating, the group thought they worked well together and decided to continue making films together on various topics. In September 2016, Pomato created its Facebook page. The skits are primarily about romantic relationships, friendships, and life in general. Pomato participated in YouTube's "#StayHome #WithMe" campaign done in collaboration with Hong Kong Performing Artistes Guild that encouraged people to isolate at home during the COVID-19 pandemic. On 25 April 2020, local Hong Kong content creators including Pomato performed live for the campaign. On 20 April 2021, Pomato collaborated on YouTube with three other major Hong Kong YouTube video production teams, Trial & Error, Arm Channel and FHProductionHK, to hold a live four-hour broadcast of discussions and films they produced. One of the initiators of the event, Neo Yau, considered it as a new generation of Hong Kong entertainment industry. ==Members==

Sponsored videos
Pomato's "fresh, positive image and filming style" has led to numerous government agencies, businesses, and celebrities to approach them to make sponsored videos.

Skits
The Pomato skit titled "Women's level of makeup depends on their counterpart? One glance will reveal who most likes you" received numerous views. Pomato created a skit in 2019 discussing a boyfriend's not understanding safety pants (leggings) versus underwear and sports bra versus bra. Pomato published a skit in 2018 titled "Don't call the wrong girlfriend's name" in which a boyfriend who is playing on his cell phone uses the wrong name, Kiki, to address his girlfriend Tungtung when he asks her for water. As his girlfriend becomes angry, he successfully soothes her by saying, "Other guys call their girlfriend 'piggy" or 'BB' (baby). If I call you that today, am I calling another person's girlfriend?" His phone rings with Kiki's name on the caller ID, after which Tungtung becomes angry and immediately kills him. ==References==
