Roman Atwood is a very popular YouTube personality and prankster.
Since 2009, he has started posting videos to YouTube. He currently has three channels where he broadcasts vlogs and practical jokes, with the fourth being a podcast channel.
Atwood is well-known for his practical jokes, such as the “plastic ball hoax” and the ATM prank, which resulted in an arrest at the Columbus Police Department for “causing alarm and disorderly conduct” and cost him a trip there.
The trick he pulled on Howie Mandel, who served as the renowned judge of America’s Got Talent for eleven seasons, remains one of his funniest tricks.
Atwood visits Mandel’s home in California in the under three-minute film, but as he says, his pal just so happens to be in New York.
Atwood drives a truck with more than 4,000 rolls of toilet paper to Howie Mandel’s house. And there’s a valid explanation.
You see, Atwood intends to use toilet paper to line the entire house.
According to Wikipedia, this is really accomplished by “throwing many toilet paper rolls in such a way that they unroll in midair and therefore land on the intended item in various streams.
Therefore, Atwood and his companions unlock the truck’s doors and take the toilet paper out of its box.
He’s going to utilize an absurd amount of paper rolls.
As they count down to Howie’s arrival, he and his pals, including Mandel’s son Alex, gradually cover the home and the trees that surround it with toilet paper.
Alex says that although his mother is meant to delay him and his father’s aircraft has just arrived, he is actually on his way and should arrive at any moment.
Mandel arrives at his home thirty minutes later and is astounded by what he sees when he arrives.
“Are you kidding me?” he says, obviously confused and upset at the same time. “Who can get into a gated community? How do you get into a gated community?” he’s wondering.
Someone can be heard approaching and asking for some toilet paper while he is looking around his residence and likely assessing any property damage.
Atwood is now admitting that he is to cause for the mayhem, and Mandel can’t help but chuckle at the practical joke he pulled on him.
This prank has been utterly adored by the public. More than 20 million viewers have seen the video, and it contains hundreds of comments.
“There’s just no words to describe how funny that was haha! Roman you legend !!!” someone wrote.
However, those watching it in 2020 had a spot-on comment to make.
“2020: We could really use those toilet papers right now,” someone commented.
Seeing a film like this would, in fact, make you unhappy about wasting so much toilet paper for a joke during the beginning of the epidemic when everyone was purchasing toilet paper like crazy.
