In the early 1990’s, a group of childhood pals brooded over various ways to amuse themselves with video, and the warm, splotchy Funtime egg was hatched. At this point, Funtime did not have an official name, but existed in the collective creative spirit of its originators. This primary phase pumped out numerous in-camera-edited movies that involved bullies and nerds getting punched. As the Funtime members entered their high school years in the mid-90’s, they began to make movies under the name, “Poopy Productions.” This new label marked the secondary phase of Funtime’s development—a phase even more prolific than the first. Movies like Wicked—an inspirational story about BMX racing that involved impressive dummy usage—really propelled Funtime to new heights.
