It's satirical, outlandish, and revoltingly entertaining. This is Fatal Farm, a Los Angeles-based production company/troupe of pure genius. It's comprised of Jeffrey Max and Zachary Johnson, two guys who consider their work just "screwing around on the internet." In actuality, however, Fatal Farm incorporates pop culture with a cynicism unlike others in the YouTube realm. They parody everything from the Disney animated series "Ducktales" to "Doogie Howser, M.D."
You're probably wondering what this has to do with an art-related website. Well, it has relevance (sort of like seeing Jesus Christ on a piece of toast). Think of Andy Warhol's work and how he poked fun at the superficiality within the art world. After all, what constitutes art? Can an artist stack a few soup cans and be "innovative"? The problem with Warhol is that he eventually believed the hype and started making installments for elitist Manhattanites.
Fatal Farm knows from the beginning that they're just having fun. Their work transcends to everyone with a twisted sense of humor...because being normal is overrated. In terms of popularity, they might not have celebrity presence like the "I'm fucking Matt Damon/Ben Affleck" videos, but Fatal Farm should guarantee raised eyebrows and uncontrollable laughs. If anyone deserves a break directing an independently-funded movie, it's these guys.
