If you haven't heard about the Louis Theroux bot, you've been missing out.

The Twitter account spits out fake documentary intros in the style of Theroux, who often focuses his attention on weird cults, religions, felons and well, anyone you'd probably never find yourself talking to.

Here are a couple of the tweets, all very watchable documentaries, we must say.

Well anyway, Theroux himself caught wind of the account — promising to read out this tweet.

But only if he got enough retweets.

And lo-and-behold, he did it! We just wish it was a real documentary.

What a dude, hey.
