Trailer For Documentary Winnebago Man
If you are a person who has spent more than five minutes on the internet, chances are that you've heard of the "Winnebago Man." One of the most popular viral videos of all time, the clip features a man named Jack Rebney having a really bad day. All he wants to do is make a promotional video for recreational vehicles but simply can't get it done. What results is four minutes worth of outtakes with Rebney cursing like a sailor and acting like a five-year-old. Since it was first posted on YouTube four years ago, it has accumulated 1.6 million hits, and that's not even including remixes or copies. But who is Jack Rebney? That's the question director Ben Steinbauer set out to answer.
The first trailer Winnebago Man has come online and the film looks just as funny as the viral video. Featuring people's reaction to the clip, the trials to track down Rebney and finding out what the man is all about, the film appears to be a spectacular look into the world of one of the original internet celebrities.
Check out both the trailer and the classic clip below.
