THE COOLEST FLIP PRANK OF ALL TIME GONE SEXUAL GONE WRONG BEST PRANKS 2017 (2016): S1E01. For attention, SwaggyHajj performs a dangerous self-destructive trick. This must've been
filmed during the eleventh grade. Featuring Reilly, me, and some random overlaid voice. We used to compete to see who could kick off their shoes the farthest, jump the farthest,
and do the coolest trick from those swings.
Hajj Notes: One of the two videos that was shared to the 16/17 Seniors group on Facebook by Daniel and Ben. Received good reception from some, but the post was later
taken down as the moderators believed the boys who posted it were making fun of me. I never thought that was the case, but the more I think about it the more skeptical I become...

SwaggyHajj
Season 1 (2016-2018) of SwaggyHajj, the show, mostly takes place over the course of our senior year of high school. A creative outlet for Matt during the worst year of his
academic career, future uncertain. Us and other classmates are featured throughout. Earlier episodes especially reference the popular YouTube culture of the time. Later
episodes become longer and more self-referential as Hajj's mind, story, and universe begin to reveal themselves.
CRAZIEST STORY EVER - Best Prank 2016 - (LeafyIsHere Roast) (2016): S1E02. To satirize the videos of LeafyIsHere, SwaggyHajj shares an unbelievable story from his youth.
Hajj Notes: Not a real story btw, my mother has never gone to prison and is very nice. She saw the video and confronted me on it, she was kinda sad as she thought it was what I "truly thought of her". I had to explain her the irony. She is now alright with it. Shout out MOMMA

SUPER AWESOME SKATEBOARD TRICKS (Kid totally wiped out!) (2016): S1E03. SwaggyHajj reviews his old skateboard. Featuring Mateusz and William as judgemental boys. With an early shot
of him atop the park roof for the end slate.

Keemstar's Bliss (2016): S1E04. A blissful moment of pure YouTube energy for SwaggyHajj. Using the famous controversial clip of the popular YouTube video-maker Keemstar which
launched his career.

BIGGEST PILE OF LEAVES EVER (Guinness Book of World Records) (2016): S1E06. SwaggyHajj performs another crazy stunt into the self-proclaimed "biggest pile of leaves ever". Guinness
has yet to dispute the claim. A fan favourite since its release. Featuring Reilly and my thumb. Currently his most viewed video with 300+ views and counting.
Hajj Notes: Still cannot believe the crucial mistake that Jacob made on that day. Jacob claims it is funny and adds to the irony, but I just believe it takes the viewer out of the Hajj reality. But oh well. Also the 2nd video that was shared to the 16/17 Seniors Facebook Group.

A Special Message from Drake (2016): S1E07. SwaggyHajj presents a message from his fan, Drake. This was made during Halloween. Featuring Reilly and other classmates.
Hajj Notes: Some of the boys in the video pushed me to film it, as the Hajj name was beginning to grow, and I earned new fans; either true supporters or ironic followers.

Where's the Proof? (2016): S1E08. Two white men have a debate about recent news. This marked a departure into longer, more self-referential videos. Featuring William, and
Mateusz as a tree. There was a guy in our grade who would always debate people and ask, "Where's the proof?" against any claim made.
All I Want For Christmas Is You - Mariah Carey - SwaggyHajj Cover (2016): S1E09. Christmas special. SwaggyHajj's take on Mariah's modern classic Christmas song. Matt came up with
this idea while we were talking in French class and I encouraged him to pursue it since it made me laugh.
How to Deal with School (2017): S1E10. SwaggyHajj offers tips to students dreading returning to school after winter break. The video ends with Hajj truly not caring about school.
I support this as anti-school propaganda.
SwaggyHajj Dies on Birthday (2017): S1E11. SwaggyHajj, excited to celebrate his birthday, is once again disrupted by the horrors of school. Matt ended up passing that math class
with the lowest possible acceptable score. This episode seems to show themes of his birthday constantly being overshadowed by bigger problems, where he is unable to truly enjoy
the day.
Alcohol gets SwaggyHajj Killed (2017): S1E12. Season finale. SwaggyHajj delivers a public service announcement on the dangers of alcohol before running into serious trouble with
the CIA. The first appearance of Bodybuilder James.
Hajj Notes: Idea for this video came from when Annie (my biggest female SwaggyHajj fan) and I were having an exchange on the SwaggyHajj Fan Club Facebook Group where she spoke about her love for alcohol. I, SwaggyHajj (avid hater of alcohol), attempted to sway her to stop drinking but she wouldn't budge. That's when the episode began production.

HOD: Compton Stories (2017): S1E13. School project special, a bonus episode in the SwaggyHajj lore. A parody of the classic novel, Heart of Darkness set in Compton. Starring
Jackson and me and featuring a photo of Matt and Reilly in the intro. We had to get creative with costume designs. I got confused and delivered my line like an Italian gangster.
Hajj Notes: Not only was this video done last minute for my English class, it also added to the SwaggyHajj lore/universe implying that Hajj was hiding from BBJ (since it had been a while since he'd released the alcohol video). Got a 81 on the project and for some reason its my mom's favorite video.

hajj.found.mp4 (2018): S1E14. Epilogue to the first season. Bodybuilder James reports security footage of SwaggyHajj escaped to Alaska. What's to become of him? Filmed many months
after the last episode. Matt was planning on starting work on the second season a lot sooner, but general complications and business prevented him from doing so.
