An anti-vaccination protester in America was completely and utterly shut down by an interjection from a passing homeless man the other day. Check out the video below, it's comedy gold.
The incident occurred on the streets of Los Angeles earlier in the week when a gaggle of anti-vaxxers were tramping down the street shouting things down a megaphone about how people shouldn't have their Covid-19 jabs.
Of course, you probably should, but that's neither here nor there.
Whilst out protesting on the streets, a woman can be heard shouting: "Do you see all of these homeless people around. Are they dead in the street from Covid? Hell no. Why?"
Advert
At that exact moment, a homeless hero emerged, and quick-smart quipped back: "Because I'm vaccinated you dumb f**k."
Classic.
Comedy really is all about timing, and this dude really picked his moment perfectly.
What do you even say to that? When your - already fairly specious - argument is ripped so utterly to pieces in one second, where do you go then?
As you're no doubt aware, she just kept on going down the road and shouting.
There really is no reasoning with some people.
Anyway, since the video was uploaded it has been viewed more than three million times and received more than 120,000 likes.
It's received so much interest that the original poster, who goes by @FilmThePoliceLA, went out to track the lad down and see what he could do for him.
They wrote: Today I'm gonna search for this patriot. Once we find him, it'd be cool if someone could handle setting up a GoFundMe for him."
Eventually, the man was found.
Hours later, an update was shared: "His name is Ray.
"Walking to the bank to get him some immediate cash.
"He doesn't have ID nor a phone. He's waiting on his ID. Says he plans on getting phone after.
"Ray gave the whole country, honestly internationally, people not just a good laugh but honestly sends a strong message."
Others have pointed out that the woman's initial approach to homeless people - talking as if they're expendable and worthless - is problematic to say the least.
One person said: "The worst part is how people talk about homeless community members like they're furniture or can't f***n hear."
At least Ray managed to give everyone a giggle and brighten up their day a bit.
Well, maybe not the anti-vaccination protesters, actually.
