Starring comedians Owen Benjamin as Chance Stevens and Kirk Fox as Darrell Downing, the show traces the two hecklers on their path to glory. The first episode show’s their humble (and hilarious) beginnings as hecklers. I won’t say how they got their start, but I will offer this tidbit, it involves purple nurples. The show is presented like a documentary with different interviews with personalities including Heckler historians, newscasters, and athletes all connected to the heckler duo supreme.
Proctor & Gamble came on board as the show’s main sponsor, meaning before each episode we’re treated to a little Head and Shoulders time. I guess the theory is that the audience for this show (sports fans) don’t have the best hair maintenance habits and feel they can really drive home their product. The products are conveniently worked into the episode, but writers John Behlman and Jeff Lambert do an ample job of making it funny rather than forced. Case in point, during a
training montage (yes there are montages, and yes they are set to fresh 80’s synth scores) one heckler is actually heckled himself while in the shower, when using, you guessed it, Head & Shoulders.The show succeeds on many levels, arguably due to the series’ high productions values and talented cast. Benjamin’s work in previous web series Gaytown and Owen Benjamin Presents means he’s no stranger to the short-form. Producer Lindsay Campbell, formerly of WallStrip and now Streamy-nominated MobLogic, also deserves credit for the polish of the series. Whether it is making the game footage look dated or even the simple flames and sound effects, the whole package works well. Five more episodes of Heckle U are due out weekly through May.
