Fake Strongman Duo Chop & Steele Prank Morning TV Shows

foundfootagefes... Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher of the Found Footage Festival posed as a strongman duo named Chop & Steele and managed to get booked on three unsuspecting morning shows, promoting a live tour called "Give Thanks for Strengths." The result is a trio of the most profoundly stupid TV appearances ever to hit local news. More Chop & Steele at foundfootagefes....

"Actions speak louder than demonstrations" lol! I'm using that line

[@psyko9660]

Being from Wisconsin, I can confirm chop and steele are 2 of the most fit guys in the state

[@ambassador8524]

These news anchors have been draining the life out of people for years. It’s great to have something funny on these shows.

I like how at one point, Chop n Steele are on Channel 69, and then at another point, Chop n Steele are doing 69-stylie pushups. Aww heck, I like it all.

[@gothamnetworks]

Stomping straw baskets the epitome of absolute absurdity.

[@TheUnsuper]

Is this real?? That is hilarious

[@mikah439]

No its made by a comedic duo ( Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher ) . They pranked the news 3 times .

[@AlphaFatti]

@@mikah439 it is made by a comedy duo. They did prank the news and they were sued for it. You could call it genuine because it wasn't staged by the Network.

This is f*cking excellent. I love these guys already. Doing stupid sh*t with your friends at the expense of super-serious people is.... well, let's just call it what it is, it's a gift. And they don't break character. This has SCTV written all over it. SNL's Hans and Frans, only this time it's actually funny.

Who watched this after listening to Let’s Go To Court?

[@durphy]

Reminds me of when Mark Proksch went on news channels as a yo-yo master.

[@MyGirlSasha]

Vern Hickner - Probably because "Steele" in this video is the same guy who did the yoyo thing, "K-Strass" is what he went by then.

[@billshank8744]

Adam Reedy - completely false

[@MyGirlSasha]

Bill Shank - Completely true, read all about it here. They also did a fake chef one on a morning show. deadspin.com

[@billshank8744]

Adam Reedy - the yo yo stunt was pulled by Mark Proksch. Here's his IMDB:www.imdb.com/name/nm1515989/ Heres the two guys pulling the skit. Their names are Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher. Here's their webpage as well for "Found Footage Fest". Also, the video is on their youtube page . . . Not tough to figure out man. www.foundfootagefest.com/about-fff/

[@MyGirlSasha]

bill shank -. Okay guy, you seem to care way too much about these two. They were responsible for the yoyo thing, chef thing and this, that's why it reminded the op of it, that's all I'm saying. So it wasn't the same actors in all of them, who gives a shit? Sorry, your "gotcha" internet moment wasn't that cool, now move along.

[@TheSparrowLooksUp]

The absolute show of incredible strengths was staggering. I can't believe they caught all this on tape.
