Everything Is Terrible! is a collective of seven furry, lovable internet monsters who live in a cave full of VCRS and solve mysteries. We take forgotten VHS tapes of all kinds and edit them down into easily digestible viral videos. We follow the 4 Terrible commandments:
1. Thou shalt not repost other people’s YouTube videos.
2. Thou shalt remain faithful to the VHS, for it is the One True Format by which all others will be judged.
3. Thou shalt honor Jerry Maguire and keep it holy.
4. Weird is good, funny is better.
We also make DVDs that further condense the mountain of footage that we find into a freeform collage of images and jokes. We like to take these DVDs on the road and put on live shows in movie theaters across the USA.
Everything Is Terrible! was started in 2007 as a way for a group of friends with a serious VHS habit to swap footage. It has since evolved into a full blown internet phenomenon, appearing on Videogum, Gawker, Buzzfeed, The Daily What, The Huffington Post, The Onion A.V. Club, Boing Boing, NPR, MTV, Web Soup, and G4’s Attack of the Show! We were even in some newspapers (whatever those are) called the Chicago Tribune and LA Weekly.
