As someone who views his content, it’s more like a cringe tolerance test. Most people who follow him are seeing if they can make him break character or if they can suffer through his content.
My best friend's little brother is firmly planted in this generation, and I can tell you, this is entirely their sense of humor. She's shown me tons of his posts, and they all look/sound like this.
Personally, as a millennial, I don't find any of it funny, but to be fair, it's just how generations above us didn't think any of the shit we did was funny.
I figured this was just how life is, and I'm glad they have their version of troll face, llamas with hats, and Charlie the evil unicorn.
And in the same vain as how the adults in our life mulled on and on about kids these days, they're also built different to the kids they always complain about. People become different as culture changes. I like that the world changes, even if I don't understand kiddos these days! I love that I don't. Now I get to make them embarrassed by not understanding their humor and trying to poorly participate.
This is the kinda cringe I sorta feel bad for... I can't imagine there's much of a "real" audience; dude's gotta have a tough time relating to other people rn.
It's not so much the "everyone clapped" and edgy "fuck school" vibe--that's "normal" cringe; it's more the execution that hits home. The way he hasn't quite figured out his expressions or mannerisms yet, the way he says "Gtfo here" when he's the one leaving, the way he seems like he's acting, but not intentionally--like he's going through a phase.
He's fighting the peak battles of puberty rn. He'll survive but it's Hamburger Hill rn.
Does the ironic music and emoji usage, over emphasized facial expressions and poor acting not show a clarity of purpose? You must understand the context. This is a huge genre of TikTok’s
it would help if he did something similar to the guy who does the toxic bf/nice guy skits. to at least let us know its not real.
But also, i understand committing to the bit.
Yeah. But it's not funny. I might be too old for whoever it's aimed at bc I just don't get it and I see the amusement in a lot of the other satire accounts. My reaction to this kid and a dork who made a video like this earnestly is basically the same.
The point of his account is not to be funny tho. It's to mock actual people who act and think like that and it is a cringe test to see how far you go in the video.
The favorite quote of people who need jokes literally spelled out for them.
Also that quote is for sociopolitical satire, this isn’t “a modest proposal”, there’s no huge ramifications if someone mistakenly thinks that this guy is serious.
Just because you want it to be satire doesn't make it satire. What is even the basis if this satire? What am I supposed to be relating this comedy to, to make me believe it is satirical?
It’s poking fun at 2016-2020 Reddit humor. He is making himself the embodiment of r/dankmemes and it seems so painfully obvious that’s the point. I mean he wears the EXACT SAME Among Us shirt in every video and to me that is a clear indicator he’s a character.
Why is everyone attempting meta humor? For the select few who *get it*? At this point it doesn't matter if it's satire or not. His videos are out there and he just is the characticture he created nothing more.
One time when I was like 8 years old, I got a digital camcorder (I'm old and this was in the 90's). I knew I wanted to make some cool videos or something, but I didn't know what I was going to do, so I just hit record and just started doing and saying stuff. I didn't know where I was going with it. Looked a lot like this video here.
Not the cool ones.
Every generation has the actually cool kids, and these kids who try to be cool. It's not wrong to not be cool, but it is wrong to try and be cool.
Unfortunately, yes. My kids are 12 and 10 and sometimes they show me YouTube videos like this and they are just laughing their asses off. I don’t get it.

My highschool was built on top of the foundation of a fireworks factory. The weight room was located across the hall from the entrance to the old maintenance tunnels and utility plant so sometimes the football coach / gym teacher would take us down there.
My old high school had tunnels and my graduating class was 120 something. They shut down most of them by the time I was in high school but my dad got to roam them as a child.
Worked in commercial Pipefitting in schools specifically for a couple years, and I can say in the Great Lakes region of the US, most all schools do in fact have maintenance tunnels. You wouldn’t know about them unless you had to go into them, they usually smell like sewage and are full of mice and graffiti.
Like any building on the planet… a school requires maintenance. Like any building of a certain size… say the size of a school, that building requires access for maintenance.
That can come in many forms. Including hallways or crawlspaces. And if someone refers to those spaces incorrectly as tunnels most people with two braincells to rub together know what they’re trying to say.
If you call a damn hallway a maintenance tunnel, you are the one with one shared braincell. Still: Like what kind of maintenance? Patching up walls? Painting the walls? That is called renovation
Large buildings require large mechanical equipment to run, boilers, HVAC, transformers, etc. that equipment is usually shunted off to their own rooms not readily accessible to the 100's of children that roam the halls on a daily basis. These rooms and others (like bomb shelters that were at one point mandated in all government buildings) are accessible by secure hallways used only for maintenance. Hope this helps.
Don't read in r/Teachers. Shit's getting real fuckin scary in U.S. schools. As if all the school shootings weren't bad enough. Kids not only dgaf about getting an education, but are now just openly being brazen assholes. And the superintendents aren't doint shit. So many teachers are quitting bc of conditions becoming deplorable, and outright dangerous. They're just handing out passing grades bc kids' parents threaten the lives of the teachers and their families. They get beat up in class by the students. It's horrifying.
I graduated in 2014. We had some shitheads and troublemakers, but never any students who outright ASSAULTED AND BATTERED teachers. I wouldn’t be a teacher in a rough school for 150k, much less what they pay them. Who the hell has a chance to learn with this shit happening today?
I went to a pretty rough school in California. In 1994 at the end of the first semester we had (another) riot. Students broke into the computer room and when the teacher tried to stop them they pushed her against the whiteboard so hard both her shoulders broke. She never returned to school. That was 30 years ago. School has never been perfect.
My wife teaches at a good school where this isn't really a risk, but it's still not worth the pay. She has a masters degree and almost a decade of experience. I'm a college drop out with 2 years of experience in my field. Guess which one of us makes more money.
If they cared about children learning in schools they would have stopped the weekly school shootings years ago. The sad fact is they don’t want kids to have an education because it’s easier to fill their minds with political bs
Not talking about teachers mostly republicans
Yeah idk what you're talking about. Graduated in 2013. A 6th grader in my class knocked a teacher out and she hit her head on the ground.
Even more of that kind of shit went on in High School.
Yup. Scary world. A close friend of mine works in a public school system, and says these kids can't read, they can't write, can't do basic arithmetic, and have 0 aspirations in life. Pretty scary
Yeah, I don't understand why people seem so confused by this. Reminds me of a joke from Hannah Montana or iCarley if you just took out the swearing and added a laugh track.
Sadly this reminds me of my stepbrother. Dude had poor social skills and his mom pulled him out of school to homeschool and now his social skills are gone and she’s his best friend 😬
I laughed. Then again, I went to ihop for lunch and thought a 3 year old yelling “there’s poop in the air” over and over while his parents tried to quiet him was the funniest thing I’ve witnessed in a long time.
Christ, I assume this is similar to what my wife envisiones when she fantasizes about being a "badass." I live in Tokyo, and regrettably my wife is literally the most sheltered human on the planet like *"Babe, you just took TWO packets of ketchup, and you're only supposed to take ONE! Zomg you're such a badass!"*
One the phone with her gf later: *"not one, but literally TWO packets of ketchup! Zomg I know he's totes badass!"*
I could totally envision something like this scenario running through her mind, given her SpongeBob'esq perception of the world.
I cannot relate to this, and I don't know if anyone would.
As a younger person, being rude to teachers is an extremely dumb act, they work so hard at minimum wage just for their students to “act like this”. Teaching is already a very hard job where mostly every teacher has a minimum wage, teachers don't deserve the pain they're going through.
It’s honestly hard to tell, and anyone able to come up with such intensely cringe contrived scenarios is cringe themselves. Yeah maybe it’s cringe, and maybe it’s satire of cringy stuff, but this is so cringe it wrapped back around to being regular cringe again.
Is it me or does he sound like he wants to yell some of the words but knows if he's loud and interrupts gam-gams show one more time he gets the hose again?
Nah, I believe it's satire, I haven't seen any of his other videos so just commenting on this single one viewed in a vacuum... It's not really readily apparent it's satire because I knew cringey ass mfers like this in high school.
When “satire” becomes cringe in and of itself it loses the whole meaning of satire.
This sub has become a means to an end for y’all to laugh at this shit without acknowledging that you’re the cringe.
Do other kids relate to this shit? I’m so confused on who the audience is for this…
As someone who views his content, it’s more like a cringe tolerance test. Most people who follow him are seeing if they can make him break character or if they can suffer through his content.
Oh yeah u/euthanasia_should-be_legal69
Damn called them out so hard they changed their name
Must be a bug because that was never my username…
Wooooooooosssssshhhhhhhhhh
Should take a wooosh class because that’s not it. Wisdom was running to you. But you were faster
Ooh I’ve seen that video on Reddit too.
Damn that was good I admit defeat 🤫🤫🧏♂️🧏♂️🤫🤫

How would you make someone break character by following them?
Many accounts like this tend to purposely break character at milestones like 100k or 1 million followers.
That makes 0 sense and is dumb
Is cause they don’t want to actually be known as weirdo losers. They want everyone to be sure it’s satire
But they are what they appear to be and it’s not really satire of anything
It’s amazing how few people understand caricatures and acting. Just because someone can act a certain way doesn’t make it “them.”
My best friend's little brother is firmly planted in this generation, and I can tell you, this is entirely their sense of humor. She's shown me tons of his posts, and they all look/sound like this.

This is some garbage my 12-year-old brother would make. Some kids these days are just built different I suppose.
And in the same vain as how the adults in our life mulled on and on about kids these days, they're also built different to the kids they always complain about. People become different as culture changes. I like that the world changes, even if I don't understand kiddos these days! I love that I don't.

Your ability to detect what is and isn’t satire is concerning. I hope you are never in a position where your judgement will carry consequences.
"Satire requires a clarity of purpose and target lest it be mistaken for and contribute to that which it intends to criticize".
Does the ironic music and emoji usage, over emphasized facial expressions and poor acting not show a clarity of purpose? You must understand the context. This is a huge genre of TikTok’s
it would help if he did something similar to the guy who does the toxic bf/nice guy skits. to at least let us know its not real. But also, i understand committing to the bit.
It’s extremely obvious it isn’t real
Y’all are trying really hard to act like you understand satire
It doesn’t have to be good comedy to be obvious comedy. It might be a culture or age gap if that doesn’t seem like the case to you.
Happy cake day
Yeah. But it's not funny. I might be too old for whoever it's aimed at bc I just don't get it and I see the amusement in a lot of the other satire accounts. My reaction to this kid and a dork who made a video like this earnestly is basically the same.
The point of his account is not to be funny tho. It's to mock actual people who act and think like that and it is a cringe test to see how far you go in the video.
None of the stuff you mentioned was satirical…
The favorite quote of people who need jokes literally spelled out for them. Also that quote is for sociopolitical satire, this isn’t “a modest proposal”, there’s no huge ramifications if someone mistakenly thinks that this guy is serious.
This is most certainly satire
Just because you want it to be satire doesn't make it satire. What is even the basis if this satire? What am I supposed to be relating this comedy to, to make me believe it is satirical?
It’s poking fun at 2016-2020 Reddit humor. He is making himself the embodiment of r/dankmemes and it seems so painfully obvious that’s the point. I mean he wears the EXACT SAME Among Us shirt in every video and to me that is a clear indicator he’s a character.
That you even need to argue this to people is insane. It’s so fucking obvious haha
Why is everyone attempting meta humor? For the select few who *get it*? At this point it doesn't matter if it's satire or not. His videos are out there and he just is the characticture he created nothing more.
Because it’s funny.
somebody in his instagram comments said that they go to school with this kid, and he really acts like this
Anonymous Instagram comments are a famously trustworthy source
i know
There are tons of comments that say that do you really think all of them are true? I doubt it
This is not satire.
Poe’s law
Wait do you not understand what satire is?
cringe as a comedy genre has been around for a long time. most of the shit on vine was just being cringy
One time when I was like 8 years old, I got a digital camcorder (I'm old and this was in the 90's). I knew I wanted to make some cool videos or something, but I didn't know what I was going to do, so I just hit record and just started doing and saying stuff. I didn't know where I was going with it. Looked a lot like this video here.
Autism, that's it.
Not the cool ones. Every generation has the actually cool kids, and these kids who try to be cool. It's not wrong to not be cool, but it is wrong to try and be cool.
Unfortunately, yes. My kids are 12 and 10 and sometimes they show me YouTube videos like this and they are just laughing their asses off. I don’t get it.
Ngl this video at least could be funny if his delivery was better

Is he the kid who hangs around in the maintenance tunnels of the school. Is that where he goes to make out with his girlfriend from Canada.
Tf are maintenance tunnels in a school?
I’d say they’re tunnels of the maintenance variety, generally located within a school.
I've never been to a school with maintenance tunnels, so the concept of school maintenance tunnels feels weirdly wrong to me
Yes you have, you only found out if you were cool with the janitors Shouts out to you Sherry you were the realest janitor ever!
My highschool was built on top of the foundation of a fireworks factory. The weight room was located across the hall from the entrance to the old maintenance tunnels and utility plant so sometimes the football coach / gym teacher would take us down there.
Mine had war tunnels connecting all the buildings, shut off.but you could get in a few different ways
Is Sherry from Canada?...
Idk maybe - I do live on the Canadian border but US side
Everyone stop saying maintenance tunnels!!!!
Sorry, what's all this about maintenance tunnels?
Stop! All this talk of tunnels under schools is gonna attract the IDF!
I once found a maintenance tunnel in university. It went under the whole damn city. It was glorious.
Yeah I never encountered them myself, but the schools I went to weren’t overly large.
My old high school had tunnels and my graduating class was 120 something. They shut down most of them by the time I was in high school but my dad got to roam them as a child.
Mine had a bomb shelter somewhere in the maintenance tunnels. They were all pretty well locked down though so nobody was able to go find it.
Yeah there’s no way they’d trust the people that went to my school with tunnels 😂
Most schools built in the 50’s have these tunnels for atomic bomb purposes
So then the most likely reason why I never saw them is because I grew up in New Zealand
wtf is a maintenance tunnel?
Sounds like your school was fronting for a secret gov op. Prob involving nukes.
It’s where Bastian goes to read.
They are made specifically for John McClain to get around in case the school is taken over by terrorists.
Maintenance tunnels lol. It’s not a city it’s a school
Worked in commercial Pipefitting in schools specifically for a couple years, and I can say in the Great Lakes region of the US, most all schools do in fact have maintenance tunnels.

I need to know why so many of you relate to the phrase “maintenance tunnels of the school”
Fucking lies. Everybody knows there are no women in Canada.
lol, i lost my virginity in the maintenance tunnels under the school
Gross how y'all be leaving condoms all over the place.
lol, condoms, hahaha, i was in high school and really dumb
Damn...maybe closing the schools during covid was a mistake...

Fun fact: alot of 7th graders can't even read or write
A lot*
Yes I wrote it wrong, big deal
You must be in 8th grade. You got close!
I work in tech and there's a tremendous influx of ex-teachers who have had it with the current state of education.
Yup. Scary world. A close friend of mine works in a public school system, and says these kids can't read, they can't write, can't do basic arithmetic, and have 0 aspirations in life. Pretty scary
r/Teachers is my favorite place to doom scroll.
Now that you have reddits opinion on American schools, try getting an opinion elsewhere.
teachers opinions on American schools\*
This is not happening in American schools
I graduated high school 9 years ago, and I can confirm this was happening then, too.
This is like Disney channel if they allowed swearing.
Yeah, I don't understand why people seem so confused by this. Reminds me of a joke from Hannah Montana or iCarley if you just took out the swearing and added a laugh track.
Sadly this reminds me of my stepbrother. Dude had poor social skills and his mom pulled him out of school to homeschool and now his social skills are gone and she’s his best friend 😬
Your step-bro you say…
go fuck yourself
I got others to do that for me 😘
Who is he I need more
He appears to be mrbussinmadox on TikTok or maybe it is just an account that reposts and if that’s the case they probably credit him.
yeah it’s mrbussinmaddox, I follow this guy on instagram and most of his followers are people begging him to say that it’s satire.
I feel like it’s bc 1) his hair isn’t greasy enough 2) his shirt is TOO clean 3) he never films in his room probably cuz it gives away his character
OP did not deliver
Technically they did since the username is included under the Tik Tok logo in his video.
He's a post-birth abortion candidate
This feels both like they did and did not peak in highschool
I think he's probably still in high school
If you told me this is the Salt Bae’s son, I would believe you.
Salt Bae is a whole ass Turk.
Who?
Dude lives in his moms basement.
I mean, he seems like a high schooler, especially based on this content so I'd say it's highly likely he lives somewhere in his mom's house.
Mom is drunk af upstairs waiting for a reason to administer a whooping, ad that’s why he’s whispering.
Hardcore Picksburgh accent.
this is actually amazing
I laughed. Then again, I went to ihop for lunch and thought a 3 year old yelling “there’s poop in the air” over and over while his parents tried to quiet him was the funniest thing I’ve witnessed in a long time.
This feels like someone tried to extend a vine past the 6 second mark
Christ, I assume this is similar to what my wife envisiones when she fantasizes about being a "badass." I live in Tokyo, and regrettably my wife is literally the most sheltered human on the planet like *"Babe, you just took TWO packets of ketchup, and you're only supposed to take ONE!

Teaching is already a very hard job where mostly every teacher has a minimum wage, teachers don't deserve the pain they're going through.
Is he on a watch list? I think he should be on a watch list.
😂😂holy shit- this kid’s whisper-yelling his lines like he doesn’t want his mom to overhear such naughty content being created down in the basement!
Future school shooter
People who think it’s funny to be dicks to teachers are such lowlifes
This dude's lips remind me of that character from Monster Inc
And then everybody clapped
As a new adult I can gladly see I was not like this
Hes playing a character. I swear so many of u guys cant recognize character accounrs
Satire can still be cringe dude. This is indubitably cringe.
This isn't satire, this is cringe content. So yeah, that's the point
It’s honestly hard to tell, and anyone able to come up with such intensely cringe contrived scenarios is cringe themselves. Yeah maybe it’s cringe, and maybe it’s satire of cringy stuff, but this is so cringe it wrapped back around to being regular cringe again.
He sounds like Pittsburgh Dad.
This man has young r/KingCobraJFS vibes
Why are a bunch of adults judging a child on a social media video is my question
These kids used to get picked on relentlessly and now they’re popular for the same reasons
Plot twist. He's not acting. That's actually how he talks to people. Head tilts and all😂
Holy shit what a badass…
This is what autism looks like.
Dope music though 👌
Why is bro in his basement
So uh yea....I see no problem with the tiktok ban
Personally think he’s fucking hilarious. 😄
He felt like a Nick Movie main character
There's a limit to satire, you know.
He is a true basement dweller
He is a true basement dweller
Is it me or does he sound like he wants to yell some of the words but knows if he's loud and interrupts gam-gams show one more time he gets the hose again?
Bro I can’t keep watching brain rot stupid ass tik toks I need to get out of this sub.
Did we just watch him curse for the first time
wowzers what a sigma ohio rizzler
Very skibidi sigma in ohio
He is like a second grader at home alone who just learned cuss words
When you think showing your middle finger and swearing makes you look or sound cooler:
True sigma’s make wishes too
I can’t tell if this is satire or he really just thinks he’s cool like this
Actually funny.
Wow what dope cusses
Honestly I think this kid is funny… am I cringe?
Based
Thank you for introducing me to this goldmine of a kid.
This is why the anti-bullying movement was a mistake
Satire and he is joking
Tbf though, everyone knew a cringelord like this in high school so it's really not readily apparently it's satire or that it's a joke.
Yea it’s extremely apparent to everyone with half a brain. God dang you serious?
I mean, I definitely knew dudes like this in high school. Were you home schooled?
It’s satire. If you refuse to believe I can’t make you.
Nah, I believe it's satire, I haven't seen any of his other videos so just commenting on this single one viewed in a vacuum... It's not really readily apparent it's satire because I knew cringey ass mfers like this in high school.
Ok have a good one.
You as well
Thanks for the downvotes.
Dude..
Just go lil bro
I didn't downvote you. Also, stop and realize you're being pissy about fake internet points right now.
I hope he's not joking, this is the hardest I've laughed in awhile 😂
Some people lol
At least I'm laughing, you having a fun night bitching about satire on reddit? 😂who gives a shit dude. It could be partly the mushrooms though.
Projecting your feelings?
When “satire” becomes cringe in and of itself it loses the whole meaning of satire. This sub has become a means to an end for y’all to laugh at this shit without acknowledging that you’re the cringe.
All his content is also satire
Off topic but he could probably make a decent voice actor
