Bob Odenkirk’s Fake Video of Bird Pooping in Reporter’s Mouth

Comedian Bob Odenkirk (co-creator of Mr. Show) recently created a fake video featuring a television newsman who gets pooped on by a bird while reporting on Canadian brown finch overpopulation. Many fell for the prank, including The Huffington Post and yesterday Gawker debunked it as a fake.

So far the video has been viewed over a million times on YouTube.

Bob followed up with the mockumentary “The Making Of: Bird Poops In Mouth”, which itself is a fake commercial for the Nigerian soda Frumondah.
