The Funniest Movie of the 2020s is Only Available on YouTube

The useful part

In the past few years, we've seen many filmmakers innovate in the comedy genre, utilizing wholly original filmmaking techniques and stylized humor. Plot and Production The film follows a friend group of twenty-something burnouts who fight against their party-oriented temptations to do their best to complete a rap album in one night in 2009 in suburban Pennsylvania. The original idea for the film actually came about in 2020 when O'Malley and co-writer Jack Bensinger incorporated old camcorder footage of teens playing Guitar Hero into one of their other projects.

How it works

• In October of 2020, the pair began production on what was originally going to be a series of short-form skits to be uploaded to YouTube.
• After these skits didn't turn out the way the team was initially hoping, they shelved the project for six months before re-editing it into a ten-minute short film.
• Sensing improvement, the team got together, rewrote a new script, and shot over 70 hours of footage over the course of two to three years, subsequently edited by Bensiger.
• The team utilized rap music figures for help with some of the music, but maintained a sense of improv on set to elicit the more low-quality elements of the songs.
