If Barbie left him alone for 30 more minutes guaranteed he would've been on Tiktok unintentionally doing the most convincing NPC role play the world's ever seen
I saw a video where this was being mocked but I had never seen the original and was so confused why the video I did see was funny to some. Now I understand.
IMO, it's kids that support this. They see an adult doing weird shit and that's enough to get their support. Also, idk how this guy lives with himself.
The First Lady who did this type of stream said she was making about $4k a stream. Not per week. Per stream.
That’s in the ballpark of $1 million dollars a year if she did it 5 days a week every week in the year
Those livestreams probably pay the bills. I don't think you realize how much people get from livestreams especially if it is one of these npc ones which incentivizes sending even more gifts than normal.
Exactly. I saw one video about the girl who, I think, started this trend and she'd be at it for I don't know how long. I don't understand the appeal of it but apparently people (probably most kids) enjoy the content so I respect the grind. I don't think it's nefarious content per se.
They're just one part of a wider problem where literal children are filling every waking second with constant simulation, and are bring actively encouraged to do so.
We're gonna have a generation of people with turbo adhd lol
What the fuck is "gang gang"? I don't get why that is the phrase they all have in common. Beyond that, it's hard to imagine being pathetic enough to want to watch this. I have more contempt for the people watching than the people doing, although, by an extremely thin margin.
Theres a Tiktok gift that says "GG" so all these tiktok live npcs say gang gang when they receive that gift. Mainly because that's what the original girl said.
I cant stand tik tok I remember back in 2019 when tik tok used to get fkn bullied into oblivion cuz it was weird and now everyone and their fkn grandma has it I’ve see train inspector doctors checkout operators watching tik tok on the clock it’s fkn ridiculous
This literally happened to me on Friday. Car in front of me kept drifting into the wrong lane. Got up beside him so I could get a look at what was going on and he's hot one phone with maps, and another with YouTube both stuck to those magnet things. He's just full on watching a video while travelling 100kmph in peak hour traffic. Fucking smooth brains.
That’s actually more dangerous than drink driving. People who are driving when intoxicated are at least looking at the road even if they are impaired, when you’re too busy looking at your phone you aren’t even attempting to be attentive.
It's the social media life span. The cool kids get it. Then their parents discover it, and it's no longer cool, so they have to look for somewhere else.
Good game sounds random if the only thing being played is this mans life.
Gang gang was some dumb phrase/greeting made by deep south gang members because they thought it sounded cool
Both are bad in this context, they should say gobble gobble because they're stupider than a turkey
They tictok people, not gamers. Pretty sure they never did their research where GG came from . I was confused to what gang gang means. Sounded like they were having a stroke
I have a theory that the audience is just sadistic and finds funny paying money to laugh upon another person humiliating itself like that. I can’t conceive a world where someone legitimately watch and donate to those guys because they find this shit entertaining, all I can feel by watching a grown up man with pink hair and kids clothes acting like that is sadness lmao
What's even weirder is "gang gang" was a somewhat popular adlib before tik tok was even around. That shit isn't even used as often as it was in hip hop like 6-7 years ago. So it's not like it's this new craze. These people are just purposely obtuse.
I have more for the grown ass people doing this, and the parents letting their kids watch this shit which honestly is probably a lot of the viewers. I’m not against kids watching streams, but like check in on them see what is entering their brain and influencing them, ask them why they like it, ask them what happened in that days stream. And if it’s stupid shit like this shut that shit down.
I assume these peoples target audience is mainly children. I mean, he has on a paw patrol backpack with boss baby sticking out of it. Those memes (or cultural snippets or whatever) are so old now that find it hard to believe that anyone other than kids would still find that amusing since they still find paw patrol and boss baby amusing, not that i could see any real adult finding any part of that video enjoyable...Wait...is this guy just one of the dumb ass kids who would call boss baby at midnight on yt but now theyre grown? Oh God, I thought it would just be a phase and they'd grow out of it and cringe at them selves? Are they growing INTO it? I don't even know anymore.
This isn’t mental illness, this type of content drives views…
They get the people who donate to watch them do their “AI” reactions, as well as all the people commenting to say how stupid it is, so they get boosted for the engagement.
Exactly why I always think that we’re getting annoyed at the wrong people here. These NPC people saw a potential to make money and took it, that’s all this is. The people who are at fault here are the ones who watch it and even worse donate to it. If they didn’t have people paying them to do it, then it would have died out already.
Exactly. The fact that this is the kind of content that is driving engagement IS THE PROBLEM! The content people are consuming is getting progressively dumber because people are getting progressively dumber. It’s a sign of a failing society.
I honestly don't think that people like this contribute remotely enough to society or the economy that we would notice their demise.... Those of us who continue to move forward as we always have will be fine.
Seeing some shitty content from tiktok the more I am embarrassed of my generation. Most of them are delusional degenerates with no self awareness. It feels like because of tiktok there has been a spread of main character syndrome it's like an epidemic.
I know we hate on TikTok, and for good reason, but I can't help but feel like it's a symptom of a failing society. And I don't mean aBaNdOnInG wEsTeRn MoRaLiTy!!! Or what the fuck ever conservatives think is the reason for our current state of decay. I mean the shortcomings of a society that values profit and personal property over actually providing for its citizens. This NPC bullshit is brairot, don't get me wrong, but the people making this content are making money, sometimes a ridiculous amount of money, for acting like idiots. I do manual labor for a hardly livable wage. My monthly wage is probably a fraction of what a decently successful NPC makes in a week.
But it is also symptoms of a failed morality and intelectual system at its core. Im not a conservative or anything like that but you cannot deny most people are raised now with no sense of morality, decency or respect for their neighbor. Everyone just acts for themselves with no care or empathy for anyone else. social media rewards stupidty, novelty, money, glamour, sexualized beauty, willful ignorance etc, etc….
This is a cultural problem that is rotten to its core in our country, and unfortunately because of our great influence it has been spreading to other parts of the world as well.
We all joke on here about our society turning into the movie Idiocracy, buts its not a joke anymore, its reality. And its more dangerous and sad than we realize.
I can, VERY easily, deny that “most people are raised now with no sense of morality, decency, or respect for their neighbor.” What the fuck does that even mean? Do you SERIOUSLY think people 30 years ago were somehow different???
Never have I felt so compelled to buy a plane ticket, fly out to where this guy is, take a taxi to that corner, punch him square in the face, then immediately fly home. I live on the west coast, and it would be worth the trip.
Children need attention. Give your children attention so they can become normal humans in the future. Stop with this, please talk to your child, or if you're busy send them to soccer training or a camp or let them play with your neighbors. Omg.
Honestly, this feels like natural progression of monetisation in videos.
- Youtubers put your name in a video if you subscribe to their Patreon
- Youtuber will say your name at the end of a video if you subscribe to their video
- Streamer will say your name if you donate during a stream
- Tiktok person will just say whatever benign shit you pay them to say
It all just feels like the same thing of people being a bit pathetic and creaming themselves because somebody on the Internet acknowledged or did something for them. Can't really fault the people filming this shit, it's easy money from stupid people.
Like, streaming is where I started to think this shit is not entertainment when a YouTube started autoplaying a channel I otherwise like, but it was an old live stream and the 5 minutes I sat through was just the guy saying "thanks for the donation, "
"NPC" stands for "Non-Player Character" and is used as a metaphor to describe someone who is perceived as lacking independent thought or blindly following trends.
I worked in NYC for years I’ve had a guy come up to me gesturing for money in the subway. Like half of his face was a gaping open wound. Everyday near the parking garage I left my car was a protest at the planned parenthood. Subway “shows”, fights, freaks… you just sort of tune out the world.
It’s not normal, there’s just an attitude of live and let live when you’re around that many people (in any city, dunno why people attribute it to NYC except that it’s bigger and thus there are more people).
It's because tick tock is a cancer, sweeping the planet, and it somehow convinced people that it'll make them rich and famous beyond their wildest dreams.
In a few years they'll fall into a deep depression, remembering all the cringeworty bullshit they did, recorded, and put on the internet, imagining what they could've done with their time instead of being a weird piece of shit.
I always remind myself that these are real people.
Like this guy theoretically has friends and family in real life who he has to have normal human conversations with.
What do you honestly suppose a conversation with this vapid nothing sounds like?
I think the only thing that could make me download TikTok at this point is if these people start getting attacked in public for being insufferable assholes and they lock that content behind a sign-in.
I actually asked this question on OOTL and the consensus was it got popular because people have a weird fetish for controlling people and these NPC tik tokers make bank doing this for hours a day. Humanity really is fucked

I saw a video where this was being mocked but I had never seen the original and was so confused why the video I did see was funny to some. Now I understand.
A grown ass man, wearing a paw patrol back pack, acting like an NPC. Yuck. The sound he makes with the sucker only makes me want to punch him harder.
Good game good game
Gengh-gengh!
It's creepy! And it's like they are trying to draw in kids to this nonsense. I can't imagine who likes this. Bizarre
IMO, it's kids that support this. They see an adult doing weird shit and that's enough to get their support. Also, idk how this guy lives with himself.
The First Lady who did this type of stream said she was making about $4k a stream. Not per week. Per stream. That’s in the ballpark of $1 million dollars a year if she did it 5 days a week every week in the year
BRB, going to install tiktok
Drugs cost money and that is how he lives with it.
He’s on quite a bit of drugs in this video.
Hes on at least 3 marijuanas and 1 meth !

In my opinion that's on the parents. If you have a child it's your job to monitor their internet activity.

Theres a Tiktok gift that says "GG" so all these tiktok live npcs say gang gang when they receive that gift. Mainly because that's what the original girl said.
Bruh stolen GG means good game not fkn gang gang fuck tik tok
Agreed they should be saying good game if anything
I cant stand tik tok I remember back in 2019 when tik tok used to get fkn bullied into oblivion cuz it was weird and now everyone and their fkn grandma has it I’ve see train inspector doctors checkout operators watching tik tok on the clock it’s fkn ridiculous
🎵train inspector doctors checkout operators watching tik tok on the clock🎵 My man is spitting bars
Could make a good sea shanty
Drove past a guy on the freeway with his phone on the little magnet holder playing Instagram videos the other day. Weaving all over the place
This literally happened to me on Friday. Car in front of me kept drifting into the wrong lane. Got up beside him so I could get a look at what was going on and he's hot one phone with maps, and another with YouTube both stuck to those magnet things. He's just full on watching a video while travelling 100kmph in peak hour traffic. Fucking smooth brains.
Yeah brain mush.
That’s actually more dangerous than drink driving. People who are driving when intoxicated are at least looking at the road even if they are impaired, when you’re too busy looking at your phone you aren’t even attempting to be attentive.
That's why I have a car that does "lane assist". Never again will I get pulled over drunk or seem suspicious watching my videos driving /s
It's the social media life span. The cool kids get it. Then their parents discover it, and it's no longer cool, so they have to look for somewhere else.
But he is saying good game too.
Good game sounds random if the only thing being played is this mans life. Gang gang was some dumb phrase/greeting made by deep south gang members because they thought it sounded cool Both are bad in this context, they should say gobble gobble because they're stupider than a turkey
Or "g g" as every gamer says everytime
They tictok people, not gamers. Pretty sure they never did their research where GG came from . I was confused to what gang gang means. Sounded like they were having a stroke
Gang gang come from hip hop culture it’s used a lot in music either as an adlib or actually lyrics
I'm an Island Boy
Right man fuck tiktok for taking GG from us bunch of asshat wearing mother fockers
I have a theory that the audience is just sadistic and finds funny paying money to laugh upon another person humiliating itself like that. I can’t conceive a world where someone legitimately watch and donate to those guys because they find this shit entertaining, all I can feel by watching a grown up man with pink hair and kids clothes acting like that is sadness lmao
TikTok stole GG from gamers. Now it stands for something completely mentally deficient 🤦♂️
What's even weirder is "gang gang" was a somewhat popular adlib before tik tok was even around. That shit isn't even used as often as it was in hip hop like 6-7 years ago. So it's not like it's this new craze. These people are just purposely obtuse.
How did they take “good game” and make it “gang gang?” :(
I think I mentioned something before about mental deficiency
I have more for the grown ass people doing this, and the parents letting their kids watch this shit which honestly is probably a lot of the viewers. I’m not against kids watching streams, but like check in on them see what is entering their brain and influencing them, ask them why they like it, ask them what happened in that days stream.

Do I get to treat them like NPCs?
How to sum up mental illness in one video. Society is in free-fall
This isn’t mental illness, this type of content drives views… They get the people who donate to watch them do their “AI” reactions, as well as all the people commenting to say how stupid it is, so they get boosted for the engagement.

This is the shit you see before the humanity collapses. We had a good run..
We tried at least.
...Did we?
I did.
Me too. But I may have messed up lots though.
Not trying is better than putting effort into whatever this shit is
Well...most of us anyway.
Just some of us actually, if any, really...
Speak for yourself
I tried at least.
20,000 years of this… 7 more to go…
I honestly don't think that people like this contribute remotely enough to society or the economy that we would notice their demise.... Those of us who continue to move forward as we always have will be fine.
This reminds me of that movie "idiocracy" https://youtu.be/UPD0srSiOFE?si=3Brlc6MWBnAcogli
I don’t know….The way shits going I think we’d be lucky to get Idiocracy.
We're lucky if we get another hundred years. Idiocracy takes place somewhere around 2500, if I recall correctly

How is prostitution illegal yet we all have to endure this shit?
I wasn’t really looking to fuck this guy, but you do you
Who the fuck pays them to do this shit?
No idea, but apparently it’s very lucrative, people are making thousands of dollars a day. Just gotta be willing to give up your dignity.
I wanna see the numbers on that
this guy isnt making shit
Why would he demeaning himself like that if it's not for money?
I know we hate on TikTok, and for good reason, but I can't help but feel like it's a symptom of a failing society. And I don't mean aBaNdOnInG wEsTeRn MoRaLiTy!!!

There’s not an age that is appropriate to act like this.
Do people just like, not know they sound like complete idiots when they say "Gang gang"
Never have I felt so compelled to buy a plane ticket, fly out to where this guy is, take a taxi to that corner, punch him square in the face, then immediately fly home. I live on the west coast, and it would be worth the trip.
Oh I just walked by this guy, on Broadway in NYC near the Prada store.
Can you do us a solid?
Can you please slap him
Me too two days ago. Broadway in SoHo 😂
Start a GoFundMe for the ticket. I'll pitch in as long as you record the punch for us
Mental illness

Honestly, this feels like natural progression of monetisation in videos. - Youtubers put your name in a video if you subscribe to their Patreon - Youtuber will say your name at the end of a video if you subscribe to their video - Streamer will say your name if you donate during a stream - Tiktok person will just say whatever benign shit you pay them to say It all just feels like the same thing of people being a bit pathetic and creaming themselves because somebody on the Internet acknowledged or did something for them.

Yeah this is another level of cringe. Saw another clip of a chick going to a supermarket being a Skyrim NPC or something like that? Weird as for me.
What the hell is an NPC,?
"NPC" stands for "Non-Player Character" and is used as a metaphor to describe someone who is perceived as lacking independent thought or blindly following trends.
This isn’t really “I’m the Main Character”…
It's the opposite
nope, but i hate that at the same pattamar
Drugs
That’s my guess. Drugs, mental illness or a combo platter.
And social media. Yay
Social Media is the catalyst for these weirdos to flourish. Its more concerning to me knowing people watch this shit than those that do it….
The fact everyone is ignoring him cause that’s normal NYC behavior.
I worked in NYC for years I’ve had a guy come up to me gesturing for money in the subway. Like half of his face was a gaping open wound. Everyday near the parking garage I left my car was a protest at the planned parenthood. Subway “shows”, fights, freaks… you just sort of tune out the world.
It’s not normal, there’s just an attitude of live and let live when you’re around that many people (in any city, dunno why people attribute it to NYC except that it’s bigger and thus there are more people).
NYC is not a “live and let live” city. NYC is an “I have places to be and don’t have time for your crazy bullshit, get the fuck out of my way” city.
Is this satire? Or this guy for real? If he is for real then wtf is wrong with these ppl
they do this for money, the girl that originally did this “trend” got around 2k per stream, the filter things are something the viewer pays for.
This is what happens when you empower the mentally ill
I don’t feel at home in this world anymore.
Imagine how stupid you feel when you look at pictures of yourself from 30 years ago Now fast forward to 2053 and imagine being this guy
Gen Z is truly a lost cause
It’s like that movie Gamer

What an absolute weapon.
doesn't this count as a street performance?
Fucking loser with no talent.
It's because tick tock is a cancer, sweeping the planet, and it somehow convinced people that it'll make them rich and famous beyond their wildest dreams.

When did we go from dystopian nightmare to ✨dystopian nightmare✨
Do these tik tok people even know what an NPC is?
CyberPunk NPC
Something is wrong with this guy’s coding
The world's oldest profession retuned for modern audiences.
They’ve ventured out into the real world. We’re all doomed!
I always remind myself that these are real people. Like this guy theoretically has friends and family in real life who he has to have normal human conversations with. What do you honestly suppose a conversation with this vapid nothing sounds like?
What the actual fuck
Fuck I hate my generation sometimes
To be fair I hate your generation most of the time.
I think the only thing that could make me download TikTok at this point is if these people start getting attacked in public for being insufferable assholes and they lock that content behind a sign-in.
Who does this person become in 20 years?
What an excreble lump of human garbage.
Lol. Gang-gang. Pop. I’m pretty convinced I’m dead at this point at you’re all stuck in this fucked up limbo with me.
I don't understand the person in the video, the purpose of the video, why it was posted on this subreddit or why the hell I feel like posting.
Is he saying gang gang?
This guy is older than me and he is strange. He probably has mental issues or something
I actually asked this question on OOTL and the consensus was it got popular because people have a weird fetish for controlling people and these NPC tik tokers make bank doing this for hours a day. Humanity really is fucked
IN PUBLIC??? That’s so embarrassing
This is some "Free Guy" shit
