Haver publishes comedy sketches and films, frequently using rotoscoped animation.[6][7][8][9][10] He has hosted an annual "Movies Shot During the Oscars" film festival, in which he encourages independent filmmakers to shoot feature-length films during the broadcast of the yearly Academy Awards ceremony.[11]
In July 2022, Joel Haver published the "Toilet Paper Bears" comedy sketch on his YouTube channel, depicting a dispute between the Charmin Bears family, in which the son confronts his father in his dream to be a dancer to his father's disappointment.[12] Later that year, Saturday Night Live aired the "Charmin Bears" sketch, with similarities to Haver's video. Notably, a young bear confronts his father about his dream to be a dancer, the bears are colored blue, and the father and the son wear similar attire.[12] Later that month, Haver published his video entitled "SNL stole my video", attributing the similarities to parallel thinking and adding, "If I still was a smaller creator, which I was for a long time, I could see it rubbing me the wrong way."[13][14][15]
