“MARS displays the kind of comedy tradition The Whitest Kids U’Know are part of: smart people making the most stupid and surreal jokes possible…utterly gleeful about death, mutilation, and gore while scoring deliberately cheap satirical points… After all, who doesn’t want to see a tech billionaire’s head explode?” – Bleeding CoolMARS is the animated feature film from cult comedy troupe The Whitest Kids U’ Know. The film tells the story of Kyle, an average guy in his 30s who is about to marry his nagging girlfriend and take over a dental practice he hates. Desperate for a way out, he enters a contest hosted by eccentric billionaire Elron Branson to be one of four “average people” to visit Mars. Unfortunately, he wins! Leaving his fiancée at the altar, Kyle joins four others to be among the first human beings to have an adventure that is absolutely nothing like he could have expected.
Initially conceived by the group in 2012, MARS began production during the pandemic after a successful crowdfunding campaign that raised $600,000. The film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2024 and represents the troupe’s final work together as a group. MARS holds special significance as the final performance of Trevor Moore, WKUK’s beloved co-founder who passed away in 2021. Fortunately, Moore’s dialogue was recorded before his passing, and the surviving members worked tirelessly to complete the film as a tribute to his legacy and as a gift to WKUK fans.
The film will be preceded by a Whitest Kids U’Know pre-show starting at 6:30 pm.
