Roman Atwood is a well-known prankster and YouTube celebrity.
Since 2009, he has been posting videos to YouTube. He currently has three channels where he broadcasts vlogs and pranks, with the fourth being a podcast channel.
Atwood is well-known for his pranks, such as the “plastic ball prank” and the ATM prank, which resulted in an arrest at the Columbus Police Department for “inducing panic 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 accomplished by “throwing many toilet paper rolls in such a way that they unroll in midair and thus fall on the targeted object in multiple streams.”
Thus, 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 house and the trees that surround it in toilet paper.
Alex explains that although his mother is meant to delay him and his father’s flight has just arrived, he is actually on his way and should arrive at any moment.
Mandel arrives at his property thirty minutes later and is astounded by what he sees when he arrives.
He says, evidently perplexed and angry at the same time, “Are you kidding me?” Who is allowed access to a gated community? He asks, “How do you enter a guarded community?”
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 of the mayhem, and Mandel can’t help but chuckle at the practical joke he pulled on him.
The public has utterly adored this prank. More than 20 million viewers have watched the video, and it contains hundreds of comments.
There aren’t enough words to express how hilarious it was, haha! You are a legend, Roman,” someone wrote.
But those who were watching it in 2020 had a perfect observation.
2020: Someone said, “We could really use those toilet papers right now.”
Watching a video like this would, in fact, make you unhappy about wasting so much toilet paper for a prank at the beginning of the pandemic when everyone was purchasing toilet paper like crazy.
