Überstink.TV
Date Around 2008
URL Uberstink.tv (Defunct)

Überstink.TV was a short-lived blog co-created by Jack and Paul sometime around 2008.

The blog's concept was simple - Do you have a problem with some corporation? Shoot a message to the two Überstinkers, and they'll fight for your behalf by personally driving up to and HARASSING said corporation's owners till they cave in. And they'll film it too for your viewing pleasure. "This is your video blog," as Jack claims.

Details

The council shall decide your fate.

An introduction video for Überstink was made, which had resurfaced thanks to Kiwi Farms user Introman on 17 June 2021.[1][2]

Jack begins the video by explaining the blog's purpose and methods, using AT&T overcharging you as an example of a corporate annoyance. Paul, who pronounces Überstink as "Ubersteeink" for some reason, brings up a supposed real-life example - him "having an issue" with Ford Motors. He did not get it resolved with various tiers of customer service, so on a Sunday afternoon, he did what any normal person would and paid a visit to Ford's then-CEO Alan Roger Mulally at his home. "Let's just say... come Monday morning, the problem was resolved," as Paul gloats like a sociopath. Paul then instructs on how to contact the Überstinkers, and reassures that Überstink is "here for you" before the video ends.

Unfortunately, little material from Überstink remains otherwise. The Wayback Machine only contains one capture of the website dated 30 May 2008,[3] which attempts to redirect to http://uberstink.blogspot.com, which was never archived and no longer exists, thus rendering it permanently lost to time. It is unknown whether any "Überstink busts" were actually recorded.

Jack did mention Paul confronting the Ford CEO on a livestream from 26 May 2021, however slightly changing the story, stating that the confrontation happened "in the middle of the night."[4]
