Nick Prueher and Joe Pickett are childhood best friends who started with children's pranks. They became interested in a McDonald's training video. They started collecting unusual outsider VHS tapes and organized the Found Footage Festival. They went into pranking local morning shows with silly characters and that's where they got into trouble with their characters, Chop & Steele.

At its core, this is a story about two best friends doing a lifelong calling. It is the silliness of outsider comedy and grind of the work. It is sweet. I remember seeing these guys here and there but not knowing the whole story. The boys should have counter-sued for ruining their comedy skit and asked for a McDonald's coupon. The AGT bit is unexpected and perfect if only the show is funny enough to air it.

I wanted to make a review here right after watching this film (via the Blu-Ray release available on their store), because it deserves a lot of exposure and positive coverage. This has instantly become one of my favorite documentaries of all time. Masterfully executed, and absolutely brilliant. It was gripping and maintained my attention and was entertaining throughout. I need more of this! Also, Joe and Nick's YT channel is fantastic.. I especially love the cartoon commentaries. The hosts and their guests are just so.. endlessly humorous and witty. They deserve to grow and grow in scope when it comes to their creative output, because I definitely see some unique comedic genius work going on here.

Childhood friends, perseverance. Everyone in the world would love to be able to pull off a lifetime of doing what they enjoy. Is it all a laugh riot? No of course not, it is inspirational. It's a joy to watch two connected humans with the same goals working together. If they would have asked for donations at the end I would have donated.

Life isn't always easy, I've worked for years in jobs that I hated, it was an important lesson to learn that being happy and doing something you love is important in life. The movie is fun and light hearted solid entertainment without quilt. Obviously the hard work has finally paid off. Here we are watching, not a fairytale, but a real life story. I enjoyed it.
