Joel Haver (born February 13, 1996) is a Canadian [2] YouTuber, filmmaker, animator, comedian, and actor.
Haver was born on February 13, 1996 in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, Canada. [3] He grew up in Belchertown, Massachusetts, and has an older brother. [4] He studied film at Pratt Institute. [5]
Haver publishes comedy sketches and films, frequently using rotoscoped animation. [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] He has hosted an annual "Movies Shot During the Oscars" film festival, in which he encourages independent filmmakers to shoot feature-length films during the broadcast of the yearly Academy Awards ceremony. [11]
In July 2022, Joel Haver published the "Toilet Paper Bears" comedy sketch on his YouTube channel, depicting a dispute between the Charmin Bears family, in which the son confronts his father in his dream to be a dancer to his father's disappointment. [12] Later that year, Saturday Night Live aired the "Charmin Bears" sketch, with similarities to Haver's video. Notably, a young bear confronts his father about his dream to be a dancer, the bears are colored blue, and the father and the son wear similar attire. [12] Later that month, Haver published his video entitled "SNL stole my video", attributing the similarities to parallel thinking and adding, "If I still was a smaller creator, which I was for a long time, I could see it rubbing me the wrong way."

An SNL Digital Short is one in a series of comedic and often musical video shorts created for NBC's Saturday Night Live. The origin of the Digital Short brand is credited to staff writer Adam McKay, who created content for the show in collaboration with SNL hosts, writers, and cast members.
