Joel Haver (born February 13, 1996) is a Canadian YouTuber and filmmaker who produces comedic content and frequently uses rotoscope animation. [2] [3]
Haver was born on February 13, 1996 in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, Canada. [4] He grew up in Belchertown, Massachusetts, and has an older brother. [5] He studied film at Pratt Institute. [6]
Haver publishes comedy sketches and films, frequently using rotoscoped animation. [2] [7] [8] [3] He often acts and plays multiple roles in his films, which are produced on a low budget, and has contributed to film and TV productions by other filmmakers and YouTubers. [2] [7] [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."
