I've watched the first three (so far), and this is quite possibly genius. The best docs are the ones which find characters that, if they appeared in narrative film, nobody would believe in them. The Tupac worship, oh boy, reminds me of being fifteen... But those accents and the way they talk about being disliked - genius. You need to do a 'Where are they now?' follow-up. You could start by checking bus stops and their parents houses. Thanks for this gold nugget.

Ha, ha! I liked it too. Couldn't but help thinking about JRoc in Trailer Park Boys. These things work best when they're done with affection (I hate the patronising piss take stuff you often get on Youtube) and you've certainly got that right. Loved that line 'maybe they're racists'  Bit of a shame that the sound's bad in some places-makes it hard to hear some lines. Perhaps you should cut it a bit? Very enjoyable though |

Ha, ha! I liked it too. Couldn't but help thinking about JRoc in Trailer Park Boys. Oooo! Trailer Park Boys! Now I'm interested! I failed to watch this when it was first posted because the vastness of a film of 8 parts put me right off.... but now I have seen it, and it is indeed brilliant. However, my mind won't let me believe it wasn't a spoof. But either way it is equally brilliant. |

Hey Gareth. This was ace, and funny as hell. But as others have said, done with an empathy that sets it apart. Agree totally with Tom, you just have to do more with it. Manos deserves it!
