Some documentaries are so good that they make you want to use all 246 synonyms for “wow” (according to this extensive Wiktionary list). This is one of them. In an hour and thirty-seven minutes (perfect runtime), a 1997 documentary about a bizarre Texas endurance feat will make you laugh, cry, take a shot, and have many epiphanies!

Who knew that a documentary about Texans competing to win a truck by being the last person with a hand on it could be so emotionally touching and hilarious?

Rated - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
i literally could not care less about trucks - no offense - and i didn't even know what a hardbody was befor i watched this documentary (it's a pickup truck?). nonetheless, this movie made me feel like i understood something new about humanity - maybe something about human resilience or delirious determination.
TLDR; it's a documentary about a competition in Texas where people try to win a pickup truck by being the last person with their hand on the truck. the competition lasted like 77 hours - wild. suffice to say, things get serious and people start crying. apparently quentin tarantino said this was his go-to movie recommendation at some point?

24 contestants try to see who can keep their hand on a pickup for the longest amount of time. One winner gets to drive it home. Shot in 1995 in Longview, Texas, what an amazing and unpretentious slice of life.

🐕Did you know there’s one NYC dog named Lunch, none named Dinner, and 27 named Snack? There are seven dogs named Breakfast, but only one is a hot pink bitch.

💻Kill every “poster” impulse and put info online for no recognition, no reward, no glory. Hunt for kooky stories in news archives and put them on Wikipedia! Replace dead sources with archived links, expand two-sentence stubs about obscure rivers in the middle of nowhere, fix typos!

🦋Reaction gifs from GIPHY may be stale but you know what’s not? The best comic ever. Every day I thank God that Michael Yingling made this indexable archive. Search for a word, like “microwave” or “raccoon” or whatever, and find a C+H for every moment under the sun. If you want to search for other comics, use the site Oh No Robot.
