It's not entirely conventional for me to publish a video on a Thursday, but I figured in a very real sense, I've already kept you waiting 16 years for this...
-
This scambait is so old that John Barosa was still at law school.
-
Atomic Shrimp: "English is not my first language" Also Atomic Shrimp: uses phrases like "I am distraught beyond the point of physical pain"
-
Alternate title: Bait to the Future.
-
I don't buy YouTuber merch, but I'd buy a "respond to aggression not with compliance but with righteous indignation" shirt.
-
I absolutely love how your writing switches between completely broken and perfect english depending on when it's convenient to you.
-
"Let's went scam baiting again before already" Is it that you doesn't understand English?
-
I died laughing when you explained that you wanted him to take a picture of himself holding a sign that said "waiting for Dick."
-
i feel like making a dangerous criminal write "My Dearest Dick" in a heartfelt attempt to lure and kidnap a cartoon character is the funniest thing conceivable and i hope you never stop
-
It’s horrifying to think of what would happen to someone who fell for this scam. Not only would they be robbed, they’d be outright kidnapped
-
Calling WB Studios: "Hello, ma'am. May I speak to Dick Dastardly about his trip to South Africa?"
-
Trying to get the driver to hold up that sign was genius. This video made my day.
-
"Attn: Sir/Madam/Ceo." Ah yes, the three genders.
-
“So even 16 years ago it was risk free.” 2004 wasn’t 16 years ago...WAIT
-
got to love all those Zimbabwean 'political asylum seekers' in South Africa that have 'family drivers' this is pure gold
-
"I had some hardness with my email box yesterday." You too huh? You wouldn't believe how many emails I've received promising me hardness.
-
Jesus, im worried about someone that would actually fall for this. I can't imagine the horrors they go through once they actually arrive in South Africa.
-
It's no longer called death, it's an absence from earth. I've decided to take a leave of absence from living, I'll be stepping down from the role of being alive to pursue new deathly endeavours.
-
"Are you having not understand?" Same energy as "Is it that you doesn't understand English?"
-
Scammers used to try and kidnap people?? That is actually horrifying, I never knew about that!
