A.V. Club Inventory: Ambitious Outsiders

[fr0nage]

LOL I saw Project Grizzly at a dollar shop I should have purchased it :(

[moeezS]

If you like R Crumb, you should definitely see American Splendor.

[belairjeff]

if anyone knows how to get ahold of Mark Borchardt, please email me at jeffbumbershoot43@gmail.com. looking to invite him to a film fest in Milwaukee.

[DrCaligar1]

Make a vid about breakout characters in tv or movie series. A character that had a minor role in the start but for some reasons is important later.

[rss313]

Love this episode of Inventory, I enjoy all these movies, especially American Movie!

[johnthelazy]

Lechon, Pansit Palabok, Lumpia @ 4:08

[agent1442]

I actually own an autographed VHS copy of Coven (The movie Mark is making in American Movie). It's just as awesome as you would think it would be.

[Filipjphry]

heyyy, the simpsons made an episode about project grizzly. pretty damn cool

[soccerprog226]

I guess Tredwell met quite a... Grizzly death.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[Filipjphry]

@soccerprog226 you should've added the sunglasses

[futurestoryteller]

I saw that American Movie, didn't Borschardt have 3 kids?

[Rahavin1]

what song is that playing at 4:15 ???

[westben2000]

i would love to drink with Mark from American movie......it would be awesome man

[dwall932]

I love crumb's voice.

[bnimph10]

i watched american movie before i saw this. it's an awesome documentary.

[viking977]

i wanna watch american movie now...

[Wisprsinthedrk]

Wow this is the first serious thing i've ever seen the onion do. I don't know what to think. It's not even 2012 yet.

[Upthemeds]

I love this inventory show

[JohhnyQuest]

The Crumb documentary is fantastic!

[MckyMseNTarotCrds]

@JohhnyQuest Yeah, it really is. I have it on DVD. It's a great example of how you don't have to know or respect an artist, and their life can still be interesting. I knew of Crumb, of course, before seeing the film, but I still wouldn't say I'm any particular fan of his work. But damn if he and his family aren't interesting. The one brother, like, admits sexual assaults on camera. Fascinating, disturbing, etc.

[otnomnoraa]

I don't get it. Why on Earth is The Onion playing this crap? The Onion used to be such a good satire show, but it's all gone to shit lately.

[halfRasian]

the bear things ... i finally get that episode of The Simpson now

[TheSushiPizza]

IS THIS FOR REAL OR NOT?

[DeadWhiteButterflies]

I love Werner Herzog's films. I've been meaning to watch Grizzly Man for some time now.

[supermanXL]

the bears suits that where the Simpson got it from

[CreativeImbalances]

Where's "The Devil And Daniel Johnston"?

[chasersbf]

Josh Modell is hot. Just saying.

[wangxiandavance]

######

[Quick16Silva]

the project grizzly scene where he was hit with the log was shown on dinner for schmucks!

[ANormalmanProduction]

So wait, that movie Hot Rod referenced that suit from "Project Grizzly" all along??

[JushinJosh]

Everyone in these videos sounds really uncomfortable and awkward, even the voice over guy.

[vasilo123]

I actually enjoy watching these video ... thank you!

[KIBProductionz]

4:07 Filipino Food at the back

[aurayon]

@KIBProductionz Awesome

[harriscmh]

I loved American movie. think I'll go check out Crumb. Awesome video

[Nannaboy1]

has this group ever talked about harvey pekar?

[pinoi78]

I've never seen any of these movies.

I'm gonna see if they're on Netflix though.

[yoyo9131]

I hope you kick your toe and the nail crackes and when you put your socks on it catches on it and rips the nail off and hurts alot.

[SamHain1031666]

American Movie is the best film ever, i urge everyone to watch it

[xxAlexLoves182xx]

i bet avgn is happy now :D

[adrastea]

i love american movie, even though im heartless, and jealous of anyone with both ambition and humility.

[Slayton1978]

2:58

Chia Mr. T?!

[KurtG85]

Wow. They don't make real media like this anymore.

[kuzinvna]

oh!

[piyadmj]

wti

[Devinw9]

It should be noted that Mike Schank has a youtube channel called "theschanks".

Thump this up and show him some love!

[CosmoChief]

Crumb is a great movie :)

[AvsJoe]

Anyone here seen the Canadian flick Fubar? That movie guy would DEFINITELY fit in with Terry and Deaner.

[monkeyjoe007]

Robert Crumb genuinely creeped the hell out of me.

[darklight270]

Can we all agree that avclub needs their own youtube channel so ppl can stop hating/being soo confused?

Just to be clear avclub is a sister publication of the onion and they are starting a weekly video bit, thus these things appearing in your subscription box.

[onanidaily]

WTF, did someone hack TheOnion's YouTube account ?

This is about as funny as SportsDome.

[gsh73la]

@onanidaily Stick to Hooters and Olivia Munn, dude

[onanidaily]

@gsh73la I'm sorry, I must have missed sixty minutes, what are you saying ??

[6lpy]

ttttttttttttttttt

[jeatcleave]

Without giving anything away? Doesn't everyone know what happened to Tim Treadwell at this point? Seriously.

[ilovedagreenday]

Oh, wait, I thought this was supposed to be a joke. Was this serious?

[SmashBoy1]

AVGN should see this...

[wgrock]

@SmashBoy1 They should hire him!

[wufuhimself]

@SmashBoy1 avgn is the best, i love him!

[danilonotsolucky]

wow inventory! great list seen all these movies and luv them all. especially american movie. great list guys.

[BraninT]

Yeah I'd probably not want to hang out with Timothy Tredwell, because it would probably mean hanging out with a giant pile of bear crap.

[audiostoned]

Ess my Dee U toob

[Doubledare51]

That was awesome, man. Give us some more, man.

[MrHotpantsImComin]

American movie is the best movie about Americans that I've ever seen.

[Sahoniwaya]

This isn't the onions usual thing, but I loved it.

[Tropicamountaingoose]

CLICK MEH

[winnosaur]

that was wicked man

[MCSubliminalSol]

I loved American Movie, one of my favorites

[SWPryor]

i love this show.

[spunkypuppy]

I can't tell if this is legit or not! Could these possibly be real documentaries??

[Huesos138]

@spunkypuppy

They are. I've seen two of them and they're great.

[maalblade]

@titanphyer666 No, these are all real documentaries. This is not really published by The Onion, but their sister org. They're not trying to be funny, though the documentaries are.

[TheTNC420]

Awe dude I'm sorry I tried to put your head through that.

[lukethegreat101]

Haha the SImpsons made an episode where Homer has to fight a bear and makes the same suit.

[darkenlight22]

to funny I seen most these doc's before seeing this how lame am I?

[FlashpointGold]

I thought the first video was a parody for a while... "Sorry I tried to put your head through that." "Can you be more menan-sing?"

[anticliche321]

great movie ideas for mystery science theater dubs

[TheToxicRadio]

lower your volume before 00:50, you're welcome.

[sengoku15]

@TheToxicRadio thanks

[0001Sika]

@TheToxicRadio That was wicked man!

[Nyxu]

@TheToxicRadio

Holy shit, thanks.

[ajckson1]

this was so gay

[helix4811]

I think this is just a shout out, if you can call it that, to another indie show that is becoming popular...

[Graphicspittz187]

Chea MR-T LOL

[woahmax]

AVGN?

[UltimateHedge]

@woahmax Yer man

[xTheOxx]

Mark Borchardt is like a slightly more artistic Jim Anchower.

[Mexxico57]

i love american movie and crumb. figured they wouldve included man on wire too, but oh well.

[metalreign81]

Mark Borshadt-----what a goofball-----I wonder what ever happened to good ol' Mark?

He wasn't too keen on factory workers whom he described as scum in his little tirade on "American Movie"------his career as a film maker really never amounted to anything significant----I wonder if he needs a job?----Good luck Mark! Hey maybe he can go clean toilets or something-----since he's too dignified to do factory work

[shaggyalani]

Who saw the Mr. T chia pet?

[mathewtshowchoir]

INtro OUT please

[SolidGoldKalashnikov]

i hope it doesn't have that long-ass intro on every video.

[brianific]

WAIT A MINUTE. These are real movies??? Yo I was laughing the whole time cause I thought they were discussing very seriously some fake/rediculous movies that the onion had filmed. PSH WHY MUST YOU RUIN THAT FOR ME YOUTUBE COMMENTS.

[dolphinphan3]

2:34 chia Mr. T lmao

[BossBass7o7]

To the 202 dislikes... Do any of you ever look at the links on the onion.com?

[purplesully]

The King of Kong is a great documentary 

[rapturjesus]

4:04 Snatch Comics

[xUnbreakable89x]

Haha I love American Movie.

[UsTube]

WTF IS THIS.

[voter96]

can the onion just make a seperate channel for this? please?

[QWERTYCommander]

This should be a separate channel. Discovery's official YouTube channel doesn't have any Animal Planet, Discovery Health, or TLC shows. Why should this be on The Onion's channel?

[godofimagination]

1st one's : Yo, Dawg...

[mmr11027]

1:33 If one of the good things about your style is that many elements common to student films...ouch!

In Dinner for Schmucks, the Project Grizzly guy is mentioned in a not too flattering way!

I'm rather embarassed by how many of the films mentioned in the video and info box I have seen. Hooray Netflix! I think American Movie and King of Kong are truly great. I enjoyed Coven for what it was, but I wouldn't have liked it without seeing American Movie.

[taez555]

As someone who normally skips over the regular Onion fake content and generally only reads the AV Club, I love the addition of the AV Club videos. Inventory is one the best things about Monday's.

[ChillAtWill]

this was great...  please make more of this...

thanks it was great

[PaulieDeMafia210]

2:34

CHIA MR T!!!!

[supersingerevan]

At first I thought The Onion was brilliantly making up this fake documentaries. Then I did a couple Google searches. I can't believe these films actually exist...

[traenenspur]

@supersingerevan The only one I've actually seen is "Grizzly Man", but that movie is brilliant! I highly recommend it.

[jakeybabs]

Hey this video itself is an ambitious outsider isn't it. Haha very clever onion but we had to think to hard try being more obvious next time.

[tctheunbeliever]

I feel a lot smarter now.

[maha77]

The Douche of Bag is a brilliant piece of film

[Modaragamage7]

faygo ftw

[216trixie]

This is nooooooooooottttt why I subbed to the Onion.

[nezantra]

CHIA MR T@@@

[silverdice22]

haters gonna hate

[rbechard]

The King of Kong is a great movie!

[LucidDream]

I love american movie and mike. Such a good documentary/movie.

[Saesegral]

At first I thought it was a joke, then I was left totally doubting my existence.

[Barclay1950]

good stuff, interesting to hear about these things

[jaheenan77]

This is... straight forward, not parody no sarcasm , wtf onion

[Thepocalypse]

@jaheenan77 It's the AV Club dumbass. They've always been serious.

[mexicanstorm]

@jaheenan77 this is the A.V. Club which is featured in the Onion but isn't necessarily the onion itself.

[SethHesio]

@jaheenan77 It's NOT Onion news network.. it's something else... are you complaining about is not being Onion News?

[TippmannAlphaCinqo]

@jaheenan77 arent they all fake shows making fun of real shows? i think so

[lollalot]

@jaheenan77 It is parody, it just references real texts and real documentaries.

[Erilis666]

@jaheenan77 READ THE VID DESCRIPTION; this is a pop-culture-focused SISTER publication of the onion. They don't do parody or satire, they discuss movies.

[starwarsnerd94]

@jaheenan77 It's their sister publication, which is not supposed to be comedic. If you don't like it, don't watch it.

[Manusturbo]

@jaheenan77 You've never been to the Onion AV CLub? Wow.

[aclamonica]

@jaheenan77 I think that's what they mean by "pop-culture-focused sister publication."

[TehJozze]

@jaheenan77 These movies are real man. WTF? From the Onion I'd be expecting just the opposite.

[RaiderTatum]

i LOVE THIS MOVIE!!

[blackzombie3]

Can the Onion buy ME a twelve pack?

[CineCrab]

More like this please! :)

[santa6688]

Fresh, entertaining, and interesting. Good stuff.

[RedTank4]

breath of fresh air, love informative vids like this.

[googoo120]

the onion...?

[liger411]

Hey, don't dis grizzly man.

[welovenatnalex]

"menancing" xD

[pinkfloyddwc]

i liked it! entertaining stuff!

[elsquibbs]

The Crumb soundtrack is great.

[lookalooey]

.....is this funny? I honestly cant tell...

[wootbeans]

@lookalooey Nah

[MTwords]

@lookalooey don't think it was supposed to be funny

[lookalooey]

@MTwords but....but its the onion o.o

[zombiechaddy]

volume!

[TehRice]

what is dis shit, av = adult video fucking artfags gay shit

[IzKyD1331]

Until the a.v. club gets their own channel, all these videos will get hit with a bunch of 'dislikes.'

[NO0bskater]

"This one here Naomi Wilson, was this cross-eyed farm girl who wore homemade clothes to school... I secretly had a crush on her"

ahahahhaha

[Awgez24]

Get this off Onion's channel and into your own.

[metallicmaniak]

meeeeeeeeh

[kapa1611]

the iron man suit from "dinner for schmucks" : P i didn t know the other movies : (

[peplegal32]

OK i guess...but seriously, these guys just look like they are bored or something. I'm afraid that if I turn my head, one of them is going to snooze off. They lack a lot of enthusiasm.

[wehavemagnums]

These are some of my favourite films... American Movie, Grizzly Man, Crumb - all incredible!

[Bigkahkistan]

If there's a lot of AV Club content to post, maybe it should be it's own channel, because it's definitely in a different, more subtle vein than the regular videos. But if it's just the odd video now and then, don't bother.

[tr4d3m4rk44]

Where's the bald guy? He was the funniest in my opinion.

[TheHandofOdd]

American Movie rules, I've watched it so many times it's ridiculous. It never gets old. Mark & Mike make a great comedy duo.

[QWERTYCommander]

The Crumb documentary has to be one of the creepiest things ever.

Also, guys, this is a sister publication. It's not the onion, it's a SISTER PUBLICATION.

[MyPersonalVendetta]

@QWERTYCommander: This is on the Onion Youtube chanel that I subscribed to, so it needs to be on a seperate chanel. I subscribed for the comedy, not documentaries.

[candygirl0406]

@MyPersonalVendetta Exactly, then all these nerds get mad when you say something about it. Take another puff off of your inhalers geeks before you have an asthma attack and leave us the hell alone...Free speech!!

[tr4d3m4rk44]

@MyPersonalVendetta You do understand that this is comedy to some people, right? How are the the people at The Onion supposed to know what you personally do not find amusing?

I, and I'm sure many others, find it enjoyable.

[The2ndKrezzz3]

SPOILER- that tim guy who was 'friends' with the bears, its true, but his fate was he died of a bear maulling.......and the crazy fool recorded the whole thing

[Zombbg4]

Real life "Dinner for Schmucks"

[Raggadouche]

YES!

[konascrap888]

it's amazing how far this goes above the majority of people's heads who watch the onion... its like people asking "is this real" to the news broadcasts all over again

[heyheysteven]

love it!!

[stillmacswoman]

I highly recommend American Movie!

[dmolinari]

You guys gotta look menancing... can you be more menancing?"

hahaha

[RobeonMew]

I'm sorry, but Onion makes too much satire for me to take this seriously. it looks legit, but i can't help but see the jokes here too. also grizzly man, the one with the suit, has been known for so long, them doing it now just concretes my thoughts that onion is just full of jokes and nothing more
