The Mr. Preece Stock Footage

Overused inside joke EPIC EASTER EGG that appears in several Chaos Productions films.

In 2009, Jacob McAuliffe and Eric Newton took less than 30 seconds worth of footage of their Geometry teacher. Garry Preece is the middle-aged math teacher from Ballston Spa, New York. He teaches geometry to 9th and 10th graders.

Although it is unsure what Eric and Jake were supposed to be filming, sources suggest that they were working on their propoganda ad project. The footage itself involves the camera barely peering into the math office to see Mr. Preece sitting at a computer. Another teacher works behind him. Eric begins using his best Steve Irwin impression, saying "Here we have Mr. Preece in his natural environment. Crikey!" The teacher in the background notices the two boys and begins to say something, while Mr. Preece tells him "Just ignore them". Eric and Jake then ran away giggling.

No one is quite sure what tempted them to take that footage, but it may have been a way of soothing the mental anguish that Mr. Preece caused them throughout. He was particularly harsh on Jake McAuliffe, who almost cried on several occaisions during class (Editors Note: This is very true -Jacob McAuliffe). What is known is that the video made it into many other movies that involved Jake and Eric. The footage most recently appeared in AP3; when Ethan looks inside the Math Office searching for the AP History Guy, the footage is played to show what he sees.

List of movies the footage has appeared in:

Mr. Preece: The Epic Motion Picture Experience (this film was simply this footage in its raw form. A sequel is rumored to be in the process of writing).

The Search for the Great Northeastern Walrus

The Best Moments (with unseen stuff)

We Hate Jacob McAuliffe: The Movie (lampshaded in this movie- the characters comment on how the footage is overused in all of Jacob McAuliffe's movies. This is also the only movie where the footage actually appears twice).

AP3

Fun Fact: Eric Newton's father went to school with Garry Preece. And he also hates Jake. And was also forced to be in an AP movie.
