Online prankster and Instagram comedian Charles Ross, @creationross, just went viral on the platform after an unlikely interaction at a traffic stop. As he was in a car with his fellow comedians at a traffic stop in Florida, a man stopped just to tell one of them that he needed to be on a diet, then called him a “fat boy.” Immediately, the passenger retorted, “At least I have teeth,” and the passerby couldn’t handle it.
The reel went on to rack up 20.7 million views, which is a league above the usual 1 million views they get on a successful, well-orchestrated prank. Usually, Ross’ signature sketches involve defying social norms in plain sight. In a previous post, one member of their crew pretended to siphon gasoline from a Tesla.
