Two Texas friends picked up a pastime: making hilarious viral videos about Chick-fil-A. Jimmy von Thron and Ty Kelly don’t actually work at Chick-fil-A, but they love pretending they do. (Although Ty says his dream is to be a Chick-fil-A Owner Operator some day!) They’ve turned their passions for Chick-fil-A and making people laugh into a hilarious hobby. And if it looks like these two share a special bond– that’s because they do!
Jimmy and Ty as high school sophomores.
A Long History of Friendship
They’ve been best buddies for quite a while. They played high school sports together in the same Florida hometown. Although they attended different colleges, their paths crossed again as adults. Jimmy and Ty are now co-workers at the same Texas firm. Jimmy is still enjoying the single life and Ty is a family man. He and his wife have two little boys with a girl on the way.
How a Viral Chick-fil-A Video is Born
These two get together for regular brainstorming sessions. Ty will even go live on his social media and ask followers for ideas for his future funny videos. They make a spreadsheet of all the videos they want to make. Then they block out several hours on a weekend and knock out a whole bunch. They try to post fresh content daily to Tik Tok and Instagram. The pair even created a music video called IMP (It’s My Pleasure): Chick-fil-A Anthem.
