New York City officials have blasted a TikTok star with over 3.3 million followers as "despicable" after he pulled a messy prank on a subway car amid the coronavirus pandemic.
On Tuesday, prankster Josh Popkin uploaded two videos, which have since raked up over 3 million views each. In the first, he fills a plastic tub with Fruity Pebbles and milk and then pretends to accidentally spill the contents all over a subway car crowded with people wearing face masks.
"I accidentally dropped a whole tub of cereal on the subway today," Popkin says as passengers run away from the mess. "I was like, 'Oh my God, this is the worst day of my life! Not my Fruity Pebbles!' Everyone started moving away and filming me."

This "star" is exhibit A.

(32,487 posts)Popkin was being represented by Dulcedo Management, whose website described him as a 23-year-old "up and coming stand-up comedian and content creator" with "a cult-like fanbase" made up of men and boys aged 13 to 25. His webpage on Dulcedo has since been pulled, and the company told Insider it no longer represents him.

And then, after he's gotten every last drop, the floor can be steam-cleaned.
Send him a bill for the expenses, and put a lien on his earnings if he doesn't pay it.

(8,090 posts)and made to clean that up. Make him pay for damages and throw his ass in jail for a while. I am so fucking sick of these man-boys and their stupid stunts.

(12,389 posts)Decades ago now, he was filming his tv show, and at closing time at a walmart
started to pull things off the shelves, all the while he was pissing himself laughing.
An elderly walmart worker, went up to him, saying something like "I know you have a show
to do, but I have to clean this up"
Tom Greene proceeded to laugh at the guy while pulling more stuff off shelves, laughing his
ass off.
He then stayed in the carpark filming this poor old man cleaning up.
His auidence loved it.
I guarantee 12-15 year old's are loving this tiktok star and cheering him on.
