The Definitive Guide to Groundskeeper Willie with Michael Swaim

This Groundskeeper Willie video’s going to have it ALL - the length and girth of a Dan Carlin history podcast, the tightly-scripted humor of a VH1 Behind the Music OR BETTER, that’s just an entry-level promise, and of course we’ll learn a ton of fun facts by cataloging and explaining every single joke or reference Willie’s ever made in an ADD-fueled, Connections-inspired stream-of-consciousness frenzy! By the end of this mind-boggling journey, you’ll ken ‘em all. We’ll also create a full fictive timeline of Willie’s life, track his thirty-year relationship to Skinner and the janitorial arts, construct a couple After Hours-style pop culture theories, play a round of Scottish SLANG-WHANG, and get real about The Problem With Apu - I mean Willie - as a Scottish and blue collar stereotype. Plus I’ll even explain why and how he works as a sitcom character and engine for bits, like I did with my recent Arrested Development video, since people seemed to like that.
