If life were a movie, there are probably moments people would rather leave out. No one wants a theater full of strangers to see he or she after they lose a term paper in cyberspace or rear end someone on Broad Street.

Jack Rebney, a local run of the mill R.V. salesman, had the nightmarish experience of watching himself at one of his worst moments on the big screen.

Unbeknownst to him, Rebney had become famous in cult circles as “the angry R.V. man.”

Longtime friends Nick Prueher and Joe Pickett (The Colbert Report and The Late Show with David Letterman) paved his road to fame with their comedy routine, Found Footage Festival (FFF).

The comedic pair met in sixth grade and quickly realized they shared the same sense of humor.

“I think we both appreciated the so-bad-it’s-good sort of thing and loved to torture ourselves with the worst culture we could find,” Prueher said.

Skip forward a few years to a McDonald’s break room where Prueher took a breather from his mediocre high school job. The unassuming teen stumbled upon a training video for McDonald’s custodians that he immediately stuffed in his backpack and brought home to Pickett.

It was love at first sight. The friends started having people over on Friday nights to watch the training video while they made witty remarks.

“It became kind of a cult thing. That got us thinking, if there are videos this stupid right under out noses, imagine what else is out there,” Prueher said. “And so we began searching high and low in out of the way places for more discarded VHS nuggets.”

As their repertoire of forgotten videos grew, Prueher and Pickett’s friends encouraged the duo to select the best ones and showcase them in a sort of comedy show.

The friends skeptically rented out a theater in New York, and to their surprise tickets sold out.

The overwhelmingly positive crowd reaction to this show spawned an international tour of FFF and clusters of adoring fans everywhere they performed.

Now Prueher and Pickett are back on tour with the second installment of FFF.

“We’ve got more training videos and sexual harassment videos in this installment. Those are hard to come by, but with the connections we’ve made over the last year of touring, we’ve tracked down some of those corporate tapes,” Prueher said. “We’ll also be debuting a video that was given to us last time we were in Athens. It’s a TV news outtake that never fails to bring down the house.”

Although audiences always laugh until their faces hurt, one wonders how unintentional home video stars like Rebney feel about their film debuts. Prueher and Pickett found out firsthand when they met Rebney on their most recent trip to Athens.

“He seemed pretty pissed at first. But as we played his video and he saw people laughing, you could see a smile come over him from the back of the room. He was like the Grinch – his heart grew ten times its size,” Prueher said. “He came out to a standing ovation and was signing autographs and posing for pictures with adoring fans afterwards. And we hugged at the end. It was a magical moment for us.”
