You Tube has become a stage for world to display their most creative hidden talents. BockandChewy is a You Tuber who does just that. This member has an extensive collection of homemade videos displaying the fictional antics of the Californian rock band AFI, in the forms of paper puppets.
Hunter’s Revenge on Jade, is the latest of BockandChewy’s creations. Hunter Revenge is the name of Hunter’s (AFI’s bassist) side project. This piece tells the story of Hunter discovering from two of his band mates, that Jade their guitarist is having a dinner party and he wasn’t invited. Hunter sees red and sets out to get his revenge on Jade.
This short piece, like BockandChewy’s other films, to AFI fans, is extremely funny, with the way it plays on the personalities of the band members, and makes fun out of real life events and stories. To those who haven’t heard of AFI or aren’t to familiar with their music, this piece may be mildly amusing, but it’s more than likely you just wouldn’t ‘get it’.

OK - so maybe you need to be a fan of the band to get it... I like the review though. Via some specific details, you give people an idea of the vid and whether they should watch it. If BockandChewy have made other vids, you could perhaps have linked to those... It might have been interesting to add a wider context... are there lots of fan style videos like this on YouTube? If so, why do fans do this and what do the bands think of it all?
