Now, I know this isn't quite a meme, given the bad UI here is being used to troll scammers, but this video relates to a popular post here from two months ago, and I thought folks would find this just as humorous in watching others struggle with the same password checker as we all did before:

How did they not catch on they're getting fucked with lol

[–] bappity@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

probably frothing at the mouth for the chance to get money that they don't realise

Because some scammers are stupid enough to believe that they'll get a certain amount of money (usually very large) from scambaiters. It's even more hilarious when they fail to catch on (after a long period of time) to the fact that they've been led on.

They devoted every brain cell to scamming people, none is left to detect 200IQ level pranks.

“This is Ohio… or maybe EPCOT?” almost had me crying.

Kitboga is the greatest troll of all time

Gotta agree with you there. His improv game is something else.

[–] Huschke@programming.dev 7 points 1 year ago

The best past is when he uses his little device to record sentences that he then replays to create the illusion of two people talking over each other!

[–] maiskanzler@feddit.de 16 points 1 year ago

Some insanely great moments in there! At least twice he slipped in a subtle meme into what he said and it just went over the scammer's heads entirely.

Love a bit of kit

The scammers let Paul be slain.

[–] IntentionallyAnon@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Avenge Paul!

[–] MrGerrit@feddit.nl 10 points 1 year ago

Kitboga's streams isn't just entertainment, it's art.

[–] argv_minus_one@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For tech support scammers, they're awfully bad with a computer. Ctrl+A then Ctrl+X, ya noobs.

[–] sylveon@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wouldn't recommend doing that.

Password Game SpoilerThis deletes the egg emoji which also kills Paul.

[–] argv_minus_one@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

That is so evil. I love it.

[–] EarJava@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

The moment when the fire started was gold! Paul was slain!
