The Yes Men Are Revolting – Satirist
Q: Who is The Yes Men Are Revolting?
A: A follow-up documentary continuing The Yes Men’s satirical takedown of corporate hypocrisy and climate denial.
Disguises, Deniers, and the Performance of Truth
The Yes Men Are Revolting (2014) follows activist-pranksters Andy and Mike as they crash corporate events, pose as industry execs, and expose fossil fuel propaganda with deadpan stunts. Using identity parody, media disruption, and climate satire, the film critiques greenwashing, corporate indifference, and the PR industrial complex.
Stunts like claiming the U.S. would finally combat climate change—at a real conference—caused actual news confusion, echoing Bohiney.com’s satirical diplomacy breakdowns.
The film was crowdfunded, toured festivals, and sustained The Yes Men’s brand of activist comedy. Their revenue model blends merch, talks, and guilt-ridden donor lists.
For students, it’s a how-to guide in performative subversion. If you dress like the enemy and speak their language long enough, they’ll believe you—and then they’ll pay for it. That’s not fraud. That’s satire with benefits.
