Transcripts
the definition of a fairy tale is a
children's story about imaginary beings
what if I told you once per year on a
very specific date these imaginary
beings come to life
where you may ask
Milwaukee it's Shrek Fest Shrek Fest is
happening today howdy
it's happening in like four hours I'm
dressed as Lord Farquaad and today is
gonna be the craziest day of my life but
first let's get through airport security
I forgot my luggage sneaking into Shrek
Fest is not going to be easy I'm not
good at stuff like this I don't like
this I'm nervous and it doesn't help
that apparently this clip of me went
viral on Snapchat which is so
embarrassing Shrek Fest happens every
single year which is crazy because a
Shrek movie hasn't come out in like a
decade it's been a while the thing about
Shrek Fest is not just a festival there
are contests and there is no sane person
on this planet that would even compete
in one of these contests
that's why I'm gonna win all three
the roar contest the costume contest and
the onion eating contest
okay I think the next step will be
somewhere else over the last couple
weeks I've been training relentlessly
for this event for this Festival I've
been working on my Roar
I've purchased so many costumes I even
ate onions the point is I'm not taking
this festival or the contests lightly
and when I landed in the next city I
realized one of Lord farquaad's greatest
weaknesses layovers
no but seriously I almost missed my
flight I had a Sprint to to catch it we
made it we're heading to Shrek Fest
[Applause]
Wisconsin I believe this is where my
quest begins quest number one infiltrate
Shrek Fest that's right I wasn't invited
I did not get an invite to this place so
I'm sneaking in
first things first I need my humble
steed
an Uber
anyways I'm gonna call an Uber this is
it guys I am getting in the zone at
least I'm trying to but the Uber has the
volume of the radio up like all the way
[Music]
something I'm going to deeply regret is
dressing up as Lord Farquaad which if
you don't know the basic plot of Shrek
here it is Shreks and ogre and he's
happy in his swamp one day he goes
outside and he sees all these little
fairy tale creatures that were forced to
go to a swamp you might be asking by who
vote yeah Lord Farquaad aka the dude I
dressed up as first recfest anyways Lord
Farquaad says Shrek can have his swamp
back if he saves a Princess Fiona from a
scary castle that way Lord Farquaad can
be king Shrek absolutely balls out and
saves Fiona and then falls in love with
her himself farqua takes Fiona and at
the wedding Shrek pulls up donkey's
girlfriend eats Farquaad and Shrek and
Fiona live happily ever after so
basically Lord Farquaad is the king of
elves and everyone hates him this place
is packed I'm not fully certain how
we're gonna get in dude the energy is
insane right now this is like a very
crazy moment they have Shrek ears we
found our people if I can find a way in
[Music]
hey excuse me guys you guys know how we
get in Shrek Fest
you guys know how we get in
it's free oh yeah awesome Quest complete
I've done it again that was easy but I
have a feeling that winning all three of
these contests is not going to be this
place is absolutely insane this is like
beyond my wildest expectations in 30
minutes is the roar contest
[Music]
like I said before my goal is to win all
three of these contests unanimously so
the record oh gosh looks like I got some
competition holy smokes more contest is
in 30 minutes I think I'm gonna ask some
people around to see what they think
about my Roar hey guys can I show you my
Roar just see what you think sure all
right uh will you hold my microphone all
right oh my finger
fantastic fantastic huge confidence
boost
yeah
all right guys hi
all right there's a nut they're playing
Can't Hold Us by Macklemore this is the
best day of my life ceiling can't hold
us
and with minutes left before the roar
contest I met a French man named Tomas
you came from France for Shrek Fest
exactly I think we are the first French
people here in Shrek Fest that's when
Tomas asked if he could practice his
Roar three two one
I put in one more rep and there was no
more running from it it's time for the
roar contest and my first w
foreign
no matter what please cheer
[Music]
I'm the Laughing socket
okay I get it Lord farquaad's a bad guy
in the movie but I'm not actually Lord
Farquaad like I'm so shocked everyone
was bullying me before I even had a
chance except for one guy
Tomas so yeah on the roar contest I took
and
but this story isn't over because
there's a new Quest on the horizon and
I'm gonna destroy it
[Music]
so there are 12 participants in this
costume contest I somehow managed to get
on the list that means I just have to
beat 11 people so I just want to give
you guys a costume tour real quick it's
your boy Lord Farquaad that's right I
happen to be built like him IRL
this is crazy we got the gloves
slight hole for breathability my hat
falls off all the time the wig is good
the wig stays on look at this
[Music]
we got the belt from Louie the tops from
Gucci shoulder pads from the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers boots are from my wife
I might have taken that L on the roar
contest but you know how you know how
this goes

action was to go scope out the
competition hey excuse me are you uh are
you entering the costume contest oh for
sure yeah I have competition
I like your outfit better thank you
cheers good luck good luck to you
I'll see you on the other side I ran
away because I really didn't feel
comfortable talking to another Lord
Farquaad it was kind of weird
why do I feel like I'm actually supposed
to be scared of Shrek oh my goodness all
right guys I don't want any trouble I
don't want any trouble okay I think the
costume contest is starting

extremely nervous to meet gingerbread
