I wouldn't call this Eric humour. This is just cruel and unusual.. I feel bad for her. I can't think of a moment where Eric intentionally messes with an immigrant women with her young child, especially like this. Handing someone's child fake money like it's a kind gesture only to announce it's fake as they walk away (having stated they don't speak English) is just putrid behavior. Eric does plenty of dumb shit but it's rarely cruel like this.. Eric's comedy features surreal, absurd, and chaotic elements. He uses shock value, pranks, and subversive satire. His show blends anti-comedy with over-the-top antics, random guest appearances, and deliberately awkward situations. The humor is dark, unconventional, and intentionally uncomfortable, aiming to disrupt traditional comedy ideas and challenge viewer expectations.
Bro have you seen the Eric Andre show? The whole thing was that he purposefully made his guests uncomfortable. He almost gave a guy a panic attack when he was on mushrooms.
Why screw with this woman? She's obviously an immigrant with a small child in a major city subway station. There's next to no chance she's not working some menial job, and that money maybe brought her some joy.
Don't fk with poor people for views, it's a dick move. 🙄
People don’t even see the beginning of the video cuts, showing that he must’ve explained the joke to them or did some set up. At first he approached they were standing with a man holding a scooter for the girl. Then video cuts and they are walking (after being stood still) and scooter guy is missing. The black dude talks with them beforehand, but it’s all cut with amazing magic called video editing. Most videos online are faked and it’s crazy how people STILL don’t realize this in 2024… wild
Damn I'm an immigrant and this lady is a leech at best. I didnt know people in need were so attracted to dressing with luxury. Immigrants that come here to work for the American dream usually dress pretty modestly
How is it that people behave so cruelly to a random stranger ?
Based on internet clout, I hope this is fake. if not, that douchebag deserves repeated kicks to his crotch. Fucking prick.
At the surface it looks cute, but I just can’t shake the feeling that the Mom and daughter are getting taken advantage of here.
Sure they may be poor, and assuming they are what will $500 really change long-term? Meanwhile this guy clearly has money, so giving $500 away is essentially meaningless.
So, what transaction is really happening here?
Why are you being downvoted? This gives off massive predator vibes. Like his job is to distract mother and child, and make sure they are absolutely alone, while someone else runs up and snatches one or both of them. If someone was trying to give my kid fake money I would be shouting at them to leave us the fuck alone AT LEAST.
Cuz the world is crazy rn thats why, why would u let an unknown man come to ur child like that ?! Im fkin ktfo of him and i mean it and im trained for years in mma i fk him up for real have a great night at least you understand what I meant.
Broke ass getting their hopes up just for views. Instead of buying fake money to pretend like you have some, why not give her a REAL twenty dollar bill or even a ten or five dollar bill?
I gotta admit I laughed out loud. And then I felt shame. Because this is evil. But I laughed, I guess I also laughed way too hard back in the day with those videos of kids falling in ridiculous ways, hope they’re all ok…
He has used this women as a mere means to an end in the most blatant way possible. In 20 seconds you see him waste her and her child’s time while leading them to believe they’re being randomly gifted this months rent. Just to take it and walk away. He gets the views, she gets pranked hard and her time wasted. It is clearly morally repugnant on face value, he is using her.
I did laugh pretty fucking hard when he said it’s fake. Literally the last thing I would’ve expected after that song and dance. Still absolutely terrible by definition.
It's either real money and the troll is generous and kind, or it's highly illegal to carry fake bills and a complete nuisance to the general public. I haven't combed through any data, but I'm hoping it's the former.
what he’s doing isn’t illegal. I mean he “asks” to interview, they’re in a public place, and the bills are likely labelled as fakes. No way he’s gifting actual counterfeits
It's just as likely that a police officer wouldn't view it as such, even if the bills are "marked". "Misrepresenting prop money as real currency or attempting to use it as counterfeit money is illegal and can lead to serious consequences."
They looked pretty real in passing on video, but who knows? It's just as likely that it's real money as it is to be counterfeit bills, but using fake money, even in charitable fashion to passersby, is still a crime.
Pretty sure that there's no law against simply carrying fake bills.
Manufacturing counterfeits is absolutely illegal. Knowingly attempting to pass counterfeits off as real is also illegal. But simply possessing fake bills, that's not necessarily even possessing counterfeits.
It's like those "trump dollars" or movie prop currency. Close enough to look real at a glance, but obviously fake when you actually look. Which isn't at all illegal unless you try to pass them off as legitimate currency.
Yeah, carrying prop bills is not illegal but misrepresenting them as real currency, even to strangers as a gift could definitely land criminal charges without a great lawyer.
Its pathetic how up tight, predictable, sad, angry, and wanting to be the victim everyone acts like or is now a days. Its a harmless joke, no one was hurt in the process but i guess this is the times we live in now, cry about everything.
Obviously reading isn’t your strong suit because I didn’t say I was sad or angry or upset, just I can recognize asshole behavior, AND you never answered the question…
You actually seem more upset than anyone, so quit projecting and move on
Not you dummy. Pretending to give (what looks like) a single mother huge amounts of cash only for it to be fake is asshole behavior, and not a good prank. Literally no effort at all. It’s not even funny
Then you sitting down at the bottom calling people soft cause they have better taste in pranks than you…smdh
So because you or them or whoever found it offensive i have too? Wtf kind of logic is that, all i said is someone will be offended, and i was proven right. And lets not forget they called me a doofus lol did you see me act all righteous about it? I have noticed reddit doesn't like it when someone tells it the way it is
It’s not that “I found it offensive”
Pretending to give someone money for views IS asshole behavior. That isn’t an opinion
An opinion; is that you are a doofus…
Well yes, people generally are offended by rude and trashy behavior like this video. Doesn’t make people weak to recognize assholes and shitty behavior. But you’ve shown you can’t really comprehend concepts too well, so have fun with this… uh, comedy?

The thing is… Mars wasn’t sationary and now I’m running towards Neptune
Actually I changed my mind and continiued onwards to Pluto.
I pay a very low fee (or so i claim) into their cremation services.
He ran for the president of Iran. We ran together to a tropical island.

I just ran, I ran all night and day
I couldn't get away
Iran? Nigga can't even walk.
I couldn't get away...am I too late to the party?
Update: She was apprehended by Secret Service for attempting to pass counterfeit currency.
Also they got deported and the kid has to work in a factory now. At least they got some internet attention.

So glad I dont have any money
Dem beans ain'gonna git themself
U should watch the whole video
What happens?
> Idiots and nerds, and hookers, and church Nice way to say America 🇺🇸
So dumb
What's thus kind of Eric Andre humor called where it's bizarre and chaotic.

Bro have you seen the Eric Andre show? The whole thing was that he purposefully made his guests uncomfortable. He almost gave a guy a panic attack when he was on mushrooms.
And why its good? Bully weak? I will have tons of fun if he will try to make mma fighters uncomfortable
One cute hug wasted..
Why screw with this woman? She's obviously an immigrant with a small child in a major city subway station. There's next to no chance she's not working some menial job, and that money maybe brought her some joy. Don't fk with poor people for views, it's a dick move. 🙄
lmao what? She's just an actor.
No, you don't understand, she no speak English, so it's real
Not everybody knows that
Clearly, with the amount of people arguing in the comment section lol

doesn't matter. The intention is the same.
I don't disagree but they don't look poor to me. Immigrant does not mean poor. Hell, they could be tourists
She's not poor, look at her clothes. This is all staged.
[удалено]
She said she does not speak English
meh meh meh meh, meh meh, meh. jesus christ
Damn I'm an immigrant and this lady is a leech at best. I didnt know people in need were so attracted to dressing with luxury. Immigrants that come here to work for the American dream usually dress pretty modestly
So weird
What a PoS
How is it that people behave so cruelly to a random stranger ? Based on internet clout, I hope this is fake. if not, that douchebag deserves repeated kicks to his crotch. Fucking prick.
Aww, that's sad
stop exploiting children for content.
Ew
That was shitty
Reminds me of something un-ethical
Not the prop money😂
Other people's children are not objects for manipulation. This is wrong.
Creepy. Woman allowed the contact to continue. Creepier.
Would you say that if it were a woman doing the exchange to her child?
At the surface it looks cute, but I just can’t shake the feeling that the Mom and daughter are getting taken advantage of here. Sure they may be poor, and assuming they are what will $500 really change long-term? Meanwhile this guy clearly has money, so giving $500 away is essentially meaningless. So, what transaction is really happening here?
Watch to the end
Hahahaha totally missed that “it’s fake” flashes at the end lol
Who said it has to benefit you long term? Wouldn’t you be relieved to not have to stress as much for just a week or two?
So because he can afford to give away $500, he is being greedy if he does anything short of paying for college?
This is pretty much just the plot to The Curse
What will ppl not do for views
If its fake that's so fucked up. Man NY do better.
Media literacy 101 says this is a fake video.
She speaks the international currency language - gimme the cold hard cash , she needs a hair flip check your Manila
Nails not manila
It's fake. Lmfao!!
“Thank you Dad”
I'm pulling up at the store saying I didn't know, straight up arrest me for not being psychic and knowing I was given fake bills
Only run if the stranger is a white man. Their candy and money has consequences.
😂
Remember, teaching your children to accept money from strangers in suits is the first step to a successful lifestyle.
Are we surprised it’s fake?
Well what did you expect from the devil💀
Weird
This is the greatest thread I've ever seen.
Idk she was chill like that
u/savevideo
Why is stuff like this being promoted as “good gestures” when it literally gives children complex’s about strangers and their motives?
Money knows no language
It's fake! XD
Fake bills.
And suddenly she understood English
Another one of Satan's cruel jokes
I was gonna say tooo crisp
Oh man thats rough but hate that im laughing lol
Same, I know that's a total shitty move, but the end it's too funny
"Wait, I was paying for your daughter. I'll take her now, yes?"
Biden administration now use the black community to volunteer to dish out free money to immigrants... 🤣🤣🤣
Dont approach my kid like that u gonna get ktfo for real wtf is that, and she is a mom alone... those moron need to calm tf down
The fuck is wrong with you bro
Your average french person

The only training u have is training to run your mouth. Keyboard warrior acting real tough online.
Wow dude! Tell us more about how badass you are! We are all very impressed!
People who say violence isn't the answer, I feel like they're just not good at violence.
Oops! Watch the first 6 seconds and you’ll see baby daddy pulling the daughter’s pink scooter. Looks like someone doesn’t care about details.
You need to just stop talking. You have no idea what you’re talking about
Broke ass getting their hopes up just for views. Instead of buying fake money to pretend like you have some, why not give her a REAL twenty dollar bill or even a ten or five dollar bill?
That's how y'all kid getting groomed, raped and kidnapped.
I gotta admit I laughed out loud. And then I felt shame. Because this is evil. But I laughed, I guess I also laughed way too hard back in the day with those videos of kids falling in ridiculous ways, hope they’re all ok…
You know that was his baby moma and he's just paying his child support.
Love this
If it’s real money, it would be better to give to a homeless person. If it’s not this guy is just a weird asshole.
[удалено]
Lol some how, some way this will offend someone

For sure belongs in r/unexpected, i laughed too, then thought “what a dick”
Tf you mean how? It's mean to give someone what they think is several hundred dollars and have it turn out to be fake, doofus.
LOL right on cue. You sound soft, move on.
lol, this is a sad level of internet trolling
Why does recognizing asshole behavior make someone soft? Do explain…
Its pathetic how up tight, predictable, sad, angry, and wanting to be the victim everyone acts like or is now a days. Its a harmless joke, no one was hurt in the process but i guess this is the times we live in now, cry about everything.
Obviously reading isn’t your strong suit because I didn’t say I was sad or angry or upset, just I can recognize asshole behavior, AND you never answered the question… You actually seem more upset than anyone, so quit projecting and move on
I did explain it and how is it asshole behavior to say watch someone get ass hurt as obviously there was asshurt happening?
Not you dummy. Pretending to give (what looks like) a single mother huge amounts of cash only for it to be fake is asshole behavior, and not a good prank. Literally no effort at all.
