Episodes

Production Background The concept for the series originated out of a recurring sketch from the HBO series Funny or Die Presents. Those sketches eventually made their way to YouTube and the FunnyOrDie website where they received more notability. Rob Huebel and Owen Burke, who created those original sketches, later decided to expand upon them with a full series. Huebel has commented that the show was loosely inspired by his fascination with 1980s projects like Stand by Me (the title of the series being in-reference to a quote from the film) where kids could go off into the wilderness in search of an adventure, in addition to moments from Huebel's own childhood when he and childhood friends would “find Penthouse magazines in these weird forts of teenagers.”

Development On June 22, 2017, it was announced that YouTube had given the production a series order for a first season consisting of eight episodes. Executive producers were set to include Rob Huebel, Owen Burke, Nick Jasenovec, and Jonathan Stern. Production companies producing the series include Abominable Pictures and Funny or Die.

Casting Alongside the series order announcement, it was confirmed that Rob Huebel would star in the series and that it would feature guest appearances from Adam Scott, Judy Greer, Terry Crews, Craig Robinson, and John Cho, among others.
