Utah! The state that only Mormons live in! The state that nobody gives two shits about! Not even the Mormons!
Jared Hess, the man who brought us Napoleon Dynamite, was asked to make some commercials. Not for some major corporation, because Mr Jared Hess isn’t a sell out (yet). But he did make them for the Utah fucking state fair.
I don’t know why. I don’t assume the fair is anything that great. It probably beats the Idaho State Fair. Either way, these commercials never made it on teevee. Jared Hess believes this is because there was a black man being sexual on TV, and Utah is crazy and backwards. If you want weird white people to come to your hick fair, don’t be bringing diversity, you bimbo!
They are wonderful clips, in an awkwardly hilarious Napoleon Dynamite kind of way. I’d like to believe that maybe Napoleon learned all his dance moves from this fella.
Okay, so it turns out that Utah has this shtick where they make funny videos every year, because otherwise their fairs would be sad and pitiful. I don’t want to see the fairs pre-funny commercials. Case in point, here is their commercial from last year (which isn’t nearly as good). If you troll the youtubes you can find a couple others.
