  • @Eid0lonic
    When the scammer said “You’re not okay, you should visit the hospital”, I felt that. Truly inspiring.
  • @KevinMac96
    Spyware the Great sounds like he should be a lead character in Lord of the Rings.
  • @an_annanas
    "You should be called Spy Buy." Wow, Monica, he's just a small boy! There's no need to savage him like that!
  • @Christer2222
    I love how you've adopted "small boy" into your vocabulary lol
  • @NHarts3
    There should be a soundbite of atomic Shrimp saying, "Wow" like that, so that I can play it back to people who deeply disappoint me in life
  • @dr.tre90
    "I don't really want the job." 😂😂 First time we saw a scammer actually speak his heart... 😂
  • "There is nothing like transparency bro" - things I say to my opaque friends.
  • @BorisNVM
    This is one of the most pointless and idiotic conversations ever, i love it
  • @nunocspinto
    And I love that we still have the pleasure of listening John Warosa's song in the end of scambaiting videos. Amazing.
  • @Dryadal
    The "are you a small boy" is what gets me EVERY TIME. You just know it gets under the scammer's skin (maybe because they are mentally small boys?)! Loved it Edit: I feel like Shrimp could do well in narrating audio books
  • @Ather_sys
    "people with trust issues are funny" -a very legitimate and trustworthy person
  • @KillaQ1996
    "I work with trust" Proceeds to google something he was told not to do and lying about it OH THE IRONY
  • @veryblocky
    I love the intentional misunderstanding of every little thing, it’s quite funny
  • Spaghetti and fried chicken is a very popular meal in the Philippines (Jollibee fast food). Possible that the scammer accidentally doxxed his location? 🤔 Tenuous but fun to think about
  • @SunBunz
    My favorites: Scammer: "You are not serious." Shrimp: "Are you a small boy?"
  • @shelby8101
    “Those are words. Do you have anything that isnt words?” That’s my favorite quote of the video!
  • @StanleyG23
    "Like i can spy on your device and still roll on it" absolutely broke me.
  • This dramatic reading reminds me of the intro to Whinny the Pooh. “And then the hundred acre wood was safe from the scammers and shrimp went and ate a weird thing in a can”
  • @danitho
    "You're not a hacker. You should get a real job." My jaw actually dropped on that one 🤣🤣
