Roman Atwood is a very popular YouTube personality and prankster. He has been uploading content on YouTube since 2009 and he has three channels where he posts vlogs and pranks, while the last one is a podcast channel. Atwood is famous for his pranks, including the \u201cplastic ball prank\u201d and the ATM prank, which actually cost him a visit to the Columbus Police Department, since he was arrested for \u201cinducing p.an.ic and disorderly conduct\u201d.<\/p>\n
Still, one of his funniest pranks is the one he played on Howie Mandel, the famous judge of America\u2019s Got Talent for eleven seasons. In the video that lasts no longer than 3 minutes, Atwood pays a visit to Mandel\u2019s house in California, only his friend happens to be in New York, as he explains.<\/p>\n
Atwood arrives at Howie Mandel\u2019s home in a truck carrying over 4,000 toilet paper rolls. And there\u2019s a good reason for it. You see, Atwood is planning to cover the whole house in toilet paper. This is actually done by \u201cthrowing numerous toilet paper rolls in such a way that they unroll in midair and thus fall on the targeted object in multiple streams,\u201d as Wikipedia explains. So, Atwood and his accomplices open the truck\u2019s doors and unbox the toilet paper.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s crazy just how many paper rolls he\u2019s going to use.<\/p>\n
Little by little, he and his friends, including Mandel\u2019s son, Alex, cover the house and the trees surrounding it in toilet paper, while counting down for Howie\u2019s arrival. Alex explains that his father\u2019s flight has just arrived and that his mother is supposed to stall him, but he\u2019s actually expected to get there any minute.
\nThirty minutes later, Mandel arrives at his property and he can\u2019t believe his eyes when he sees what\u2019s going on there.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you kidding me?\u201d he says, obviously confused and upset at the same time. \u201cWho can get into a gated community? How do you get into a gated community?\u201d he\u2019s wondering. While he\u2019s taking a look around his house and probably checking if there\u2019s any damage caused to his property, someone can be heard getting closer, asking for some toilet paper.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s Atwood revealing he\u2019s the one to blame for this havoc, and Mandel can\u2019t help laughing at the prank he played on him.
\nPeople have absolutely loved this prank. The video has been viewed by more than 20 million users and it has garnered thousands of comments. \u201cThere\u2019s just no words to describe how funny that was haha! Roman you legend !!!\u201d someone wrote.<\/p>\n
However, those watching it in 2020 had a spot-on comment to make.<\/p>\n
\u201c2020: We could really use those toilet papers right now,\u201d someone commented.<\/p>\n
Indeed, at the beginning of the pandemic, when everyone was buying toilet paper like crazy, watching this kind of video would only make you angry about wasting all this toilet paper for a prank.<\/p>\n
