Danny Dahdouh is an overweight Canadian man who claims to be the Carpet Cleaning King of Vancouver. He has someone follow him around videotaping him and uploads the videos to a YouTube channel as a type of bizarre reality show with incredibly low production values.
There's so much more to it than that, though. Imagine a real life version of David Brent/Michael Scott.
He refers to himself almost exclusively as The King, even in public. Sometimes he scripts bits where he will "randomly" come across a "fan" of his on the street, who happens to be wearing a t-shirt with his face on it. He receives random FaceTime calls from "fans" across the globe. He purports to have "drivers" and "security guards" but they clearly do not exist and this is not played for laughs; he's doing it unironically in order to give the illusion that he is very important. Sometimes he will film people who aren't in on the bit, and that's always incredibly awkward/cringy because they can always pick up on the fact that there is an autistic man who believes he's on a television show in front of them. He is very delusional; extreme delusions of grandeur. Believes himself to be comparable to Jim Carrey in terms of comedic prowess. I suspect that he cannot read. He frequently wears fedoras and a custom jacket that says "King."
He goes to interview to be on the show Dragon's Den then gets lost in a parking structure:
The King at work. He gets obscenely sweaty:
The King gives a tour of his luxurious abode, gets a call from a fan, and introduces us to his family:
The King PAYS PEOPLE ON CRAIGSLIST to permit him to clean their carpets:
The King tries calling production companies to sell his TV show. He even calls well-connected old CLIENTS in order to beg for their help. Wow, this is great. The desperation is palpable. Definitely watch this one:
The King holds a polite guy who's willing to play along hostage for what seems like an hour:
There's such a weird, voyeuristic quality to all his stuff... If any of you guys have ever seen Surveilant Camera Man videos, the filmography in this has a really similar style that just makes me feel uncomfortable. In the video with his family his wife is in the background just SEETHING and you get such a clear idea of what it's like for her to live with this man. You can get such insight into his psyche from the contrast between the stuff he scripts - the illusion he wants us to believe - and the reality of his situation, the facade is just so transparent. I only recently discovered this dude but there are HOURS of videos he's uploaded, so I suspect there is some great content in here.
