Blame Society Films is a Madison, Wisconsin-based comedy production company co-founded by Aaron Yonda and Matt Sloan, best known for launching one of early YouTube's most celebrated fan-made franchises: Chad Vader: Day Shift Manager. The series — which reimagines Darth Vader's less successful brother working the day shift at a grocery store — became a breakout hit in the mid-2000s and earned a George Lucas 'Best Fan Film' recognition in 2007, a notable credibility stamp that cemented the channel's reputation at a time when web video was still finding its footing.
Today the channel balances periodic Chad Vader content with Beer and Board Games, a long-running series in which the duo plays tabletop, card, and party games in a casual, often comedic format. The audience skews heavily male and clusters in the 18–34 range — a demographic naturally aligned with tabletop gaming culture and pop-culture nostalgia. Engagement runs well above category norms despite modest subscriber growth, suggesting a loyal core community rather than a passive casual viewership. The channel's blend of legacy IP affection and hobby-adjacent content positions it well for tabletop game publishers and pop-culture merchandise brands looking for an authentic, community-rooted placement.
Blamesocietyfilms reaches an audience concentrated in United States primarily through YouTube, and is best activated via long-form YouTube integrations. As a comedy creator they map naturally to brands targeting that space. With no brand deals logged yet, they read as an available, category-aligned partner for advertisers building early presence in the space. Engagement on YouTube runs around 10.0%, which points to an audience better suited to category-relevant, mid-funnel campaigns than to pure-reach buys. Their YouTube-first format lends itself to integrations that sit inside the creator's usual content rather than running as standalone ads. Because the audience follows comedy content rather than arriving through untargeted reach, sponsorships that match the channel's subject matter tend to convert more efficiently than broad placements. A consistent, on-topic posting focus gives sponsors a predictable, brand-safe environment, lowering placement risk compared with broad, general-interest channels. Campaigns here are best measured on qualified engagement and consideration within the niche rather than on raw impression volume. For United States-focused brands in comedy and related categories, Blamesocietyfilms offers a defined, creative-fit audience rather than broad, low-intent impressions.

Chad Vader - Day Shift Manager is a YouTube parody web series created by Blame Society Films in which Darth Vader's less-accomplished brother works as the day shift manager at a grocery store. It debuted in 2006 and became one of the earliest viral hits on YouTube, long before the platform had mainstream celebrity presence.
Yes — George Lucas personally awarded Chad Vader - Day Shift Manager the title of Best Fan Film in 2007, making it one of the most officially recognized fan-made Star Wars productions ever. That award is the cornerstone of Blame Society Films' reputation and is still featured prominently in their YouTube channel description.
Blame Society Films was created by Matt Sloan and Aaron Yonda, a comedy duo based in Madison, Wisconsin. Matt Sloan voices and plays Chad Vader, and the pair have built the channel's entire catalog — from the original web series to Beer and Board Games — around their comedic partnership.
Yes, the Chad Vader character is still active — Blame Society Films recently unboxed and debuted a brand-new Chad Vader suit, showing the parody series is still being developed well into the 2020s. The channel posts regularly across both its scripted and gaming content.
Beer and Board Games is a long-running Blame Society Films show where the hosts play tabletop and party games while drinking, resulting in increasingly chaotic and comedic gameplay. The show covers everything from fast party games like Happy Salmon to card games, balance games, and even banned lawn games like Jarts.
Jarts (lawn darts) were banned in the United States in 1988 by the Consumer Product Safety Commission after multiple children were killed by the heavy, pointed projectiles. Blame Society Films played them as part of a Beer and Lawn Games episode, leaning into the notoriety of the forbidden game as a comedic premise.
Welcome to the Basement is a film discussion and review show that lives on the Blame Society Films YouTube channel, separate from their board gaming content. The format involves the hosts watching and talking through movies in a casual, conversational style that fits their broader comedy brand.
Yes — within the fiction of the series, Chad Vader is explicitly the lesser, day-shift-managing brother of Darth Vader, complete with a suit, breathing apparatus, and Force abilities he uses for very mundane grocery store tasks. The comedy comes from applying the full drama and gravitas of Star Wars to an utterly ordinary workplace setting.
Blame Society Films posts across three main content pillars: the Chad Vader scripted parody series, their Beer and Board Games tabletop gaming show, and Welcome to the Basement film discussions. The tone across all three is comedy-first, with a strong pop culture and gaming thread running through the channel.
Blame Society Films has built an audience of over 200,000 subscribers on YouTube, which places them in the Mid tier of creators. Notably, their engagement rate runs several times above the typical category median, reflecting a loyal and active fan base rather than a passive one.
