Great Sleeper of a Movie - Winnebago Man

Whether or not you are familiar with the viral-video phenomenon known as "Winnebago Man"  (outtakes of Jack Rebney making Winnebago promo videos), if you get a chance to see the movie of the same name, do it!

Winnebago Man gets behind the YouTube schadenfreude of watching people bonk or otherwise find the next level of humiliation on camera, and gets to a deeper story about a thoughtful, articulate man and the times he found himself living in.

Whether you agree with protagonist Jack Rebney's musings or not is beside the point.  At the very least, you will probably get some very welcome laughs.
