Following Netflix and Hulu’s dueling documentaries about the ill-fated Fyre Festival, there is a now a third chronicle of Ja Rule and Billy McFarland’s most epic of fuck-ups. And, buddy, this one’s got 100% more Ken Bone in it. Fyr3: The Third (Mostly Crowdsourced) Fyre Festival Documentary is the creation of LA-based comedy writer and director Joey Clift who, upon recognizing the public’s insatiable appetite for Fyre-related content, decided to slap together a 30-minute feature with the help of some very influential influencers.
While the previous documentaries relied on in-depth interviews with festival organizers and attendees, Fyr3 instead opts for a dramatic reading of the Fyre Wikipedia entry as comedians, wrestlers (Dolph Ziggler!), and concerned citizen Ken Bone (catch him at the 49-second mark) detail their own (made-up) experiences. You certainly won’t learn anything new, but if you’re craving reenactments of rich, Insta-famous d-bags floundering on a Caribbean beach, this is the film for you.
“With Billy McFarland profiting off of the Hulu documentary and the Fuck Jerry guys making the Netflix documentary, I wanted to make a Fyre Fest documentary that people could watch without feeling like they were supporting those guys,” Clift said in a statement.
Fyr3 comments not just on the event and its accompanying documentaries, but also, in a particularly meta moment, on itself. Maybe not the best decision, that, as it negates the need for 4yre: The Fyre Fest Documentary Documentary, which, to be clear, we’d still welcome with open arms. More Fyre documentaries, please.

Ken Bone sucks. How could you be undecided that late in the race. What an asshole.
Wow! A movie with some dude whose famous for not knowing if he wanted to vote against a racist! Wacky!
He’s the perfect representative of middle America tho!
He’s also famous for praising Jennifer Lawrence’s photography skills. He’s a veritable Renaissance man.
Oh right, that and the human submarines.
Once in a while, I’ll find myself murmuring the words “Beautiful human submarines” and gently cackling.
I literally can’t not think of it when I see pregnant women sometimes now.
“Well, he’s a narcissistic, racist, misogynistic, power-hungry idiot, but man, I’m aching for that upper-class tax cut.”
Oh goodness, I fear you may have misunderstood the instructions on the ballot. You’re voring FOR the person you indicate, not against them.
Oh goodness, I fear that you have made a nonsensical comment that you think is a good rebuttable.
Isn’t that milkshake duck dude , hes good content with his cartoons….Wheres your sense of humor
Remember that time we were captivated by his mustache and red sweater for a week, then unanimously turned against him when it was revealed that he had a… fetish?!?!?
And the most pressing question he wanted to ask two presidential candidates was to please say nice things about each other. Fucking moron.
Seriously. His question was treated as a warm and touching moment of political civility, instead of the dangerous exercise in false equivalency that it really was. Hillary played along with this charade and said nice things about Trump’s family, but I’m guessing her inner monologue went something like this: “NO I CANNOT SAY ANYTHING NICE ABOUT THIS MAN, BECAUSE HE IS A PATHOLOGICALLY-LYING RACIST PSYCHOPATH AND WE SHOULDN’T GLOSS OVER THAT REALITY FOR ONE NANOSECOND. THE FACT THAT HE IS THIS CLOSE TO WINNING THE PRESIDENCY SHOULD FUCKING TERRIFY EVERYONE THE VERY CORE OF THEIR SOUL, AND THE FACT THAT YOU ARE STILL ‘UNDECIDED’ ABOUT YOUR VOTE MEANS YOU ARE A CLUELESS NIHILIST WHO THINKS THE FUTURE OF CIVILIZATION SHOULD BE DECIDED BY A GODDAMN COIN FLIP. FUCK DONALD TRUMP AND FUCK YOU FOR ACTUALLY THINKING THAT HE AND I MIGHT BE EQUALLY QUALIFIED FOR THIS JOB.”
… who’s famous …(sorry, the way you wrote that hurt my eyes)
That’s not fair; Trump’s also a sexist, homophobe, transphobe, Islamaphobe, and anti-intellectual
I like that we’re getting three documentaries about a bunch of rich twits butthurt over a ruined weekend. Sounds like a proportional response.
I blame The Queen of Versailles
What was she butthurt about?
What was she butthurt about?
The usual. A pea under her mattress.

To be fair, ONE of those documentaries (the Netflix one) was both showing off the FuckJerry company’s PR skills AND helping minimize the FuckJerry company’s own implications of fraud in Fyre Festival (which is unrelated to their fraud and jokestealing elsewhere). I’m surprised JaRule hasn’t put out his own at this point
BOTH of the documentaries have conflicted loyalties, since the Hulu one paid Billy McFarland for an interview and has him and his associates making an unconvincing case for why he’s already paid his dues and shouldn’t go to jail. Since both FuckJerry and Billy McFarland/Fyre acted in deceptive ways in building up the brand of the festival, they each have their own unique angle – the Netflix documentary gets more into the logistics of the actual festival and how they ended up setting up refugee tents in a construction site with no flights back home and limited food, whereas the Hulu documentary gets more into how cynically FuckJerry decided to market a festival it knew wasn’t going to go down as they promised. For me I really needed to watch both to get a full picture since each underplays the responsibility of whichever parties from the festival are involved in the film.
This is very clearly a mockumentary.“Fyr3 instead opts for a dramatic reading of the Fyre Wikipedia entry as comedians, wrestlers (Dolph Ziggler!), and concerned citizen Ken Bone (catch him at the 49-second mark) detail their own (made-up) experiences.”
I don’t know. While I get the issues with the first two documentaries, it does also feel weird for it to express distain towards them while pretty much riding their waves. Especially since I’m assuming that that almost all the information he is presenting here is taken from those two documentaris.Also while I understand how easy it is to mock the people who were attending to that festival, after having watched the documentaries and seeing how harrowing that experience was not just for the attendees, but for everyone involved, it just feels almost more douchey now to get your giggles on them.

derp, nevermind

Goddammit avclub, I was hoping I’d go the rest of my life without seeing a picture of or giving another second of thought to this dumb fat fuck.
I’ve been hoping he’ll get his own TV show I can watch, personally.
He’s still wearing that dumb sweater.
BONE?! BOOOONE?! BOOOOOOOOOONE?!
Since I feel like Ken Bone spends most of his time combing through the Google News Alerts he has set up for himself–I just want him to know that I was sick of him and his poor sweater choices a long time ago.
Coming soon to Seeso.
Seems more like Vioobu material to me.
Please just end it all. Now…
If the other documentaries had no Ken Bone in them, then this one has infinity percent more Ken Bone.
Good point. Technically speaking, each of the first two documentaries have 100% more Ken Bone than the other.
It has progressed infinitely into the Bone Zone.
That’s what she… wait… whut?
It’s Bones all the way down.
Technically (ackchyually), the increase in Ken Boneness is undefined.
Yes, indeed!Well done.
Yes, I blame this guy for Trump
100% more Ken Bone, huh?So still none. Doesn’t seem noteworthy, then.
I don’t want to be *that* guy buuuuuuut Dolph has been doing standup for a few years now. Yes, his *primary* vocation is currently Pro Wrestler but if John Cena can be considered an actor now, Dolph can be considered a comedian.
Who?
What, you never heard of Ja-Rule?
It’s a shame, really, because 4yre would have been a good entryway into the world of Fyre Fest documentaries.
100% more of 0 is still 0 dipshit
Thank goodness you are here to set us straight.
It took less than two years for three documentaries about Fyre, and more than six years for just one about Trayvon Martin.
the production value of this is macaroni necklace-grade
