YouTuber Joel Haver addresses fan claims SNL stole his video YouTube: Joel HaverYouTube and comedian Joel Haver has responded to claims that Saturday Night Live stole ideas from his content, as avid fans brought a recent skit to his attention. If you\u2019re a creative in the world of stand-up comedy and content creation, then working with Saturday Night Live is likely a dream goal. Canadian filmmaker Joel Haver is known for crafting unique animations, short films, and popular YouTube videos such as \u2018Playing an RPG for the first time\u2019. One of Haver\u2019s fan-favorite uploads known as \u2018Toilet Paper Bears\u2019, has jumped back into the zeitgeist again, after fans noted how a recent SNL skit bore more than just a slight similarity. Haver has responded to these claims, sharing his insight on previous experiences on his YouTube channel. Joel Haver explains he isn\u2019t \u201cbothered\u201d by SNL allegedly using his ideas On October 2, Saturday Night Live debuted a skit titled \u2018Charmin Bears\u2019, which featured Top Gun: Maverick\u2019s Miles Teller as part of him hosting the Season 48 premiere. Within hours of the skit debuting, fans of Joel Haver brought it to his attention. \u201cWhen it comes to these stealing accusations I always air on the side of coincidence. I think parallel thinking does happen more often that not,\u201d Haver explained. Haver noted how the two skits shared the same premise: \u201cIt was pretty alarming, I was like wow\u2026usually when these things come up I\u2019m like able to see its the same concept but they took it somewhere different\u2026but this one was a little weird, I was like wow this one is very similar.\u201d While fans may have expected a harsher response from Haver, the content creator reacted to SNL\u2019s actions in a more measured manner. \u201cWe have so much content, so much stuff out there, its inevitable that you\u2019re gonna overlap,\u201d continued Haver. \u201cSo when it comes to the Charmin Bears thing\u2026I don\u2019t think it was malicious, it was either a subconscious borrowing from somebody on the writer\u2019s staff who saw my video. Or it was a coincidence.\u201d Haver noted how he has enjoyed plenty of success from his original upload, which has garnered over 1 million views: \u201cIf I was still a small creator, which I was for a long time, I could see it rubbing me the wrong way and I\u2019d be a little more likely to believe that they did steal it. I have to recognize that I\u2019m in a position to not be bothered by it.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m lucky in the event that SNL did steal from me, I\u2019m lucky to be in a position to have my stuff seen by enough people that that would even happen,\u201d added Haver.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
