It’s kind of hard to believe that TikTok wasn’t even really a thing this time last year, given how humongous it’s become and how often I’m writing articles about celebrity TikTok users being complete and utter knobs these days.

The latest one of these is a guy called FckJoshy, who is facing a backlash after he decided it would be funny to show his 3 millions fans a bunch of videos of him running around New York City and playing pranks on key workers. These included dropping a massive box of cereal and milk all over a subway car filled with people wearing masks and looking pissed off about having to go to work – bear in mind that the subway cars are closed overnight for the first time in history so they can be cleaned effectively – and also running around the city with a mask with a hole in it.
Maybe his 3 million fans thought that this was hilarious, but thankfully not everyone felt this way and a bunch of people called him out for being a dickhead on Twitter. Thanks guys:

A new low: Pulling a prank on essential workers in the middle of a global pandemic. And making essential workers clean up your mess. Despicable. https://t.co/hMu8g5cJY9

I mean they’re not wrong are they? I guess this is a problem with popular culture now – so many people are obsessed with ‘prank videos’ and going viral that I guess a lot of the time it’s hard for them to understand what’s actually funny and constitutes a prank and what’s actually deeply inappropriate and dangerous. Hopefully they get some perspective one day.
For more of the same, check out this TikTok of the inside of a kangaroo’s pouch. Very freaky.
