Winnebago Man is a 2010 documentary feature film directed by Ben Steinbauer that follows the Internet phenomenon created by a series of twenty-year-old outtakes from a Winnebago sales video featuring profane outbursts from the salesperson, Jack Rebney. Originally intended as an inside joke, the video spread across the globe first on VHS tape then via YouTube and other online video sites, earning the salesman the title of "The Angriest Man in the World". The documentary explores the story of the clip’s origin and how, two decades later, it affects the man who never even knew it existed. The film premiered at The South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin, TX on March 14, 2009, and will open theatrically on July 9, 2010 at the Landmark Sunshine Cinema in New York, and expand nationally.
