I live 8 minutes from that infamous Domino's. They moved from that old building because of the reputation after that video. They moved maybe 300 ft across the parking lot, from a building to a spot on the strip mall. I can say though it is a very clean and well ran establishment these days. Very nice workers there as well. The manager even mails out free pizza coupons and deals. (If that's done really by the company against the manager's choice, I don't know)
Bro that stuff is so disgusting. I've worked in food for 15 years now and people like that need slapped smooth in the face. This is why you need management that actually works and pays attention to what's going on in their store. 🤮🤮🤮
All that loss and the two disgusting people got off with slaps on the wrists. I do not believe for one second that they didn't spit in people's food and serve it.
For the Dominoes one, this kinda stuff to a degree happens more often than you think. I worked at 3 restaurants during college - A pizza place, a Family restaurant and catering. I've seen food coughed on then attempted to be served, I've seen line cooks drop finished food on the floor to pick up and try to serve. Pizza place I worked at had no running hot hand sink water one day and refused to close so I quit and called health dept on them. When I seen this stuff I always stopped it from being served by reporting to manager asap. I made some enemies and 2 were fired as a result but made damned sure it wasn't served.

Wavy, as a member of the almost-entirely-bald community, I want you to know we all welcome you with open arms when the time comes. Being bald is nothing to be ashamed of. I lost my hair around 18. Irreversible. And to be honest, if you are with a woman who is so superficial that your hair is a make it or break it, you don't need that negativity in your life.
Nothing wrong with a bald or balding man. It happens, no big deal. It doesn’t change who you are, personality wise. It’s utterly pathetic to leave someone because they’re going bald. How stupid.
When I had long dark hair I was dating a certain type of girls, when getting older I just fully accepted losing my hair this was never really a problem; some were even telling me they’re really attracted to bald men. Showing old pictures they even laughed at me looking like some sort of a hippie I was; saying they wouldn’t have dated me at all back then. The good part is superficial people are unattractive anyway. Real energy drainers. Let them have their pathetic drama in a league of their own 😂
The new setup is wild. Also I forget which video it was, but Wavy mentioned he was a registered nurse in a previous one, and I forgot to mention that he really does have the energy of a nurse

July4Patriots running from the law sounds like a more serious version of GameDude running away from Canada after his roommate kicked him out of his home with a frying pan
52:10 The Buket TKO incident set a precedent for how graffiti bombers and taggers would conduct themselves online, that definitely marked a turning point from the pre internet days where the only people who could get their hands on graffiti videos were in the scene themselves, to the post internet days where if you published yourself bombing to the internet, anyone can see it, and you better be wearing some sort of disguising equipment and posting some sort of notice to the videos audience stating that the actions seen were done on “legally owned property” or merely “video effects”, because if you posted yourself as is, you were pretty much writing your own arrest warrant. Great video websurf.
@@ZugTheDragon You do understand that graffiti doesn’t have the same sentencing it did (in america) 20, 10, or even 5 years ago anymore right? Nobody no matter how much in damages they are causing in the modern age is going to serve more than 2 weeks in jail with or without bond for the crime of graffiti. Vandalism detectives of police agencies are being assigned other projects, and the western world is moving away from the idea that it’s worth investing boat loads of money into stopping. People doing graffiti in the modern era more often cover their faces for the sake of not getting sued and having to pay for the cleanup. Try calling the police on someone for vandalism in any major american city with over a 200,000 population. You’re not gonna get anyone out there for 45 minutes at least, and by the time they arrive that person will be long gone. Hell, I can name a few cities that have gone as far as hiring people they were prosecuting 10-15 years ago to now paint murals in certain parts of town to establish an “arts district”. Ironic stuff.
A while back, Kelsey at 74Gear mentioned how the owner of the *very first video* on UA-cam had updated the video description to mention how much he liked 74Gear’s channel. As a longtime fan and lifelong nerd, I got pretty excited for him. 😅
You've seriously stepped up your YT game with the revamped set up and better editing and all that love the set up love the vids amazing dude keep up the amazing work
Wavy, thanks for just being an upbeat guy interested in documenting internet history. Though the events may be grisly, you always deliver a good viewing experience!
July4patriot is a really interesting study on radicalization. He was actually really on the ball and rightfully upset about government corruption... And he just got crazier and further right until he completely lost his mind
"Merchants claimed that the skateboarders were being erratic and unruly. Some of them also looked at people for more than the legally proscribed 3 seconds, and almost all of them lacked the three-piece business attire required in the downtown area. But their biggest sin was that they weren't buying things from the merchants, which is, to this day, a felony criminal act."
Ross must have one epic lawyer. Also, how the hell does he go from giving people wedgies to removing 2 stop signs which is almost inevitably going to lead to people getting into car accidents that will cost them a lot of money and which has a high risk of causing injury potentially and even death? WTF?
I feel really bad for the bank robbery girl. I looked at her DeviantArt and she has a picture of her and a man with the caption "This is me at seventeen with a 28 year old man. This was a horrible time in my life because he gave me HIV." and talks about having HIV in her about section.. I really hope she's getting mental and medical help in prison. Being SAd/groomed can really really mess you up, not to mention the person who did it giving you a deadly and incurable STD
@@thewhitefalcon8539 Because tagging ≠ graffiti. The latter is an art form, the former is just destroying property by putting your initials on it. Chaka definitely toed that line, though. Like, it's definitely not fully realized graffiti, but it's far more effort and has more artistic value than straight up tagging. Personally I think his prolific body of work (10,000 tags, like seriously wtf) and the fact that the "CHAKA" image became so iconic, makes it lean more into the artistic side.
@@thewhitefalcon8539 you don't see how? having quickly-made scrawls on every shutter and spare wall can make a place look disgusting as well as lowering the value of the sprayed-up property. You wouldn't appreciate someone's name sprayed on your garage door. Then someone needs to clean it off - often taking city money straight from your taxes in order to do so. Now, when a year has gone by and the tag has finally been cleaned off... it gets tagged again. and I live in England, this is nothing to do with American cops not wanting to solve any crimes as you say. My town had a notorious tagger called "PEST". Because he's quite aware that he was a pest.
it kinda feels like it takes the gravity out of the situation to call child victims of sexual grooming "underage women"... not hating it just gave me a bit of an off feeling
@ArtixellAnimations it is and I totally respect the intention, however I have a personal belief (that is not anyone's problem I just still have my right to express it) that changing the wording of a story that would be upsetting despite being the truth, to something that while still true is less likely to invoke negative emotion desensitizes many people to the actual gravity and weight of the occurance. For example; "These underage women were harassed" invokes a very different feeling within me than saying "these children were harassed" despite knowing the sentences reference the same people. Hope this makes sense!
I drive all day at work and your whole catalog of videos has kept me entertained for countless hours. Thank you, Wavy! I could listen to you talk about a single potato chip for an hour and and I'm certain you'd some how make it interesting 🤣!
the no mic all black and white format with the cards (from my knowledge as a 23 yr old) stems from the video that Amanda Todd posted before her tragic death… rest easy beautiful 🕊️🤍
I remember the posting of 'Chick Bank Robber' and you're right on both counts, the expense of microphones and style appeal usually showed to be the reason why the card read video trends persisted
For an "internet historian" I'm kinda surprised wavywebsurf didn't know the black/white handwritten cards thing originated with Amanda Todd and the video she made before she took her own life

@@joeg5414 Well I suppose but many agents are in a field that may use manipulation as a tactic. Same for sales, advertising etc. If you are a white collar criminal this is a useful occupation.
On the black and white videos done by young girls using note cards, I think I can give some insight as to why that became such a phenomenon. Unfunny and genuine look into teenage girlhood below. Of course the format makes most people think of Amanda Todd, her case was very prolific and incredibly heartbreaking but also popularized the format of videos. In the early days of the internet, grooming was not uncommon, especially for teenage girls who's neglectful parents never gave them attention but plenty of unrestricted internet access. Bullying by your peers and slut shaming is also something other teenage girls can HEAVILY relate to. So seeing one girl feel brave enough to speak out can cause a domino effect of other girls finally speaking out about what they're facing. (I'm aware there's an aspect that many were riding off the attention Amanda's video got but we have to ask ourselves "what is going on in that person's life that they're so desperate for attention that they're using this to get attention as well?") The format also allows a lot of anonymity. It was an early form of publicly venting on a throwaway account. It allows them to get things off their chest that they're going through at home or at school and potentially receive support from internet strangers that they aren't receiving at home. Also, the 2000s and early 2010s were very not nice to teenage girls. That's a whole nother can of worms but even down to something like just things we liked and enjoyed were being mocked and ridiculed constantly (literally just look at Twilight) and mental health wasn't as important as it is now. Eating disorders were higher, slut shaming was a lot higher, there were a lot of issues that are only really getting decent attention now. My main point is, they may seem like silly emo video trends, but sometimes we just have to look at things with a more empathetic eye. 💕 Great video as always!
Ross still very much is active and has 100x the quality and thought put into his new pranks. He has his own streaming website I believe thats why theres not as much on youtube but still does on youtube too. Hes the man

Gotta love early UA-cam comments that make absolutely no sense
What are the
I live 8 minutes from that infamous Domino's. They moved from that old building because of the reputation after that video. They moved maybe 300 ft across the parking lot, from a building to a spot on the strip mall. I can say though it is a very clean and well ran establishment these days. Very nice workers there as well. The manager even mails out free pizza coupons and deals. (If that's done really by the company against the manager's choice, I don't know)
Bro that stuff is so disgusting. I've worked in food for 15 years now and people like that need slapped smooth in the face. This is why you need management that actually works and pays attention to what's going on in their store. 🤮🤮🤮
Wasnt it always
All that loss and the two disgusting people got off with slaps on the wrists. I do not believe for one second that they didn't spit in people's food and serve it.
For the Dominoes one, this kinda stuff to a degree happens more often than you think. I worked at 3 restaurants during college - A pizza place, a Family restaurant and catering. I've seen food coughed on then attempted to be served, I've seen line cooks drop finished food on the floor to pick up and try to serve. Pizza place I worked at had no running hot hand sink water one day and refused to close so I quit and called health dept on them. When I seen this stuff I always stopped it from being served by reporting to manager asap. I made some enemies and 2 were fired as a result but made damned sure it wasn't served.
and I have a feeling that we can't believe what they say when they are insisting that the gross contaminated food wasn't served to anyone.
Loving the new set, Wavy! Keeping it fresh as always.
thanks dude

It may have been absolutely idiotic, but that freeway bridge graffito-tagging was legitimately impressive.
No it wasn't. It's stupid. Wastes tax money to cover it up.
@@Dinjur I agree it was stupid. I called it idiotic, if you'd care to reread my meager comment. It does waste taxpayer dollars. But it was impressive to me. You may differ. But the main point is that things can be completely stupid and wasteful but still impressive. They're not mutually exclusive.

Thank god I'm not the only one who remembers Mike Lombardo. Feels like no one ever brings him up anymore when he felt huge when I was a kid

Wavy, as a member of the almost-entirely-bald community, I want you to know we all welcome you with open arms when the time comes. Being bald is nothing to be ashamed of. I lost my hair around 18. Irreversible. And to be honest, if you are with a woman who is so superficial that your hair is a make it or break it, you don't need that negativity in your life.
God made only so many perfect heads - the rest She covered with hair. ;)
@@annwilliams6438Omg that's such a wholesome quote I love that
Nothing wrong with a bald or balding man. It happens, no big deal. It doesn’t change who you are, personality wise. It’s utterly pathetic to leave someone because they’re going bald. How stupid.
When I had long dark hair I was dating a certain type of girls, when getting older I just fully accepted losing my hair this was never really a problem; some were even telling me they’re really attracted to bald men. Showing old pictures they even laughed at me looking like some sort of a hippie I was; saying they wouldn’t have dated me at all back then. The good part is superficial people are unattractive anyway. Real energy drainers. Let them have their pathetic drama in a league of their own 😂
Hell yeah
The new setup is wild. Also I forget which video it was, but Wavy mentioned he was a registered nurse in a previous one, and I forgot to mention that he really does have the energy of a nurse
UA-cam really stopped recommending this channel and I’ve been subbed for almost 10 years
I was not expecting a set change but it looks great!!
I read this as "a sex change" 😭
Just went to a Tool concert last night and now Wavy's first video with a new setup. I feel spoiled with all this entertainment!!!
You earned it homeboy!
Man living my dream over there I saw Foo Fighters in NZ a couple weeks ago it was epic I just need to see tool live once and I'll be content
@@spun8389 I still can’t get over how amazing last night was. Tool’s my favorite band and I seriously felt like I was in another universe during that show. The Tool experience…you just have to be there to know it man.
I would love to see the Foo Fighters though. I love their music and Dave Grohl is such a cool dude
Ouuuu I would love to see Tool bet that shit was lit
I guess this video will seem short to you because it's about as long as the intro to one of Tool's new songs haha.
Great content,super informative and very unique.

July4Patriots running from the law sounds like a more serious version of GameDude running away from Canada after his roommate kicked him out of his home with a frying pan
52:10 The Buket TKO incident set a precedent for how graffiti bombers and taggers would conduct themselves online, that definitely marked a turning point from the pre internet days where the only people who could get their hands on graffiti videos were in the scene themselves, to the post internet days where if you published yourself bombing to the internet, anyone can see it, and you better be wearing some sort of disguising equipment and posting some sort of notice to the videos audience stating that the actions seen were done on “legally owned property” or merely “video effects”, because if you posted yourself as is, you were pretty much writing your own arrest warrant. Great video websurf.
I remember watching old Graffiti videos on early UA-cam where all the artists had their faces in shadow, good times.
unfortunate that those idiots are no longer as easy to catch.
I used to be watch SDK and above1 videos all the time. And I always wondered how they didn’t get hemmed up.
Unfortunate that they don't do that anymore, and that they aren't as easy to arrest :(
@@ZugTheDragon You do understand that graffiti doesn’t have the same sentencing it did (in america) 20, 10, or even 5 years ago anymore right? Nobody no matter how much in damages they are causing in the modern age is going to serve more than 2 weeks in jail with or without bond for the crime of graffiti. Vandalism detectives of police agencies are being assigned other projects, and the western world is moving away from the idea that it’s worth investing boat loads of money into stopping. People doing graffiti in the modern era more often cover their faces for the sake of not getting sued and having to pay for the cleanup. Try calling the police on someone for vandalism in any major american city with over a 200,000 population. You’re not gonna get anyone out there for 45 minutes at least, and by the time they arrive that person will be long gone. Hell, I can name a few cities that have gone as far as hiring people they were prosecuting 10-15 years ago to now paint murals in certain parts of town to establish an “arts district”. Ironic stuff.
Wavy, I gotta say, you really are a perfect sponsor for keeps. Every video I tune into your hair just looks better and better.
Sadly, as you age, it's the only thing that gets thinner.
First guy was a federal agent. It glows
The new setup looks great!, it makes it feel more alive than before ngl

"Merchants claimed that the skateboarders were being erratic and unruly. Some of them also looked at people for more than the legally proscribed 3 seconds, and almost all of them lacked the three-piece business attire required in the downtown area. But their biggest sin was that they weren't buying things from the merchants, which is, to this day, a felony criminal act."
The new expanded angle and the clarity of video looks great. Well done on the upgrades!
Ross must have one epic lawyer.
Also, how the hell does he go from giving people wedgies to removing 2 stop signs which is almost inevitably going to lead to people getting into car accidents that will cost them a lot of money and which has a high risk of causing injury potentially and even death? WTF?
I feel really bad for the bank robbery girl. I looked at her DeviantArt and she has a picture of her and a man with the caption "This is me at seventeen with a 28 year old man. This was a horrible time in my life because he gave me HIV." and talks about having HIV in her about section.. I really hope she's getting mental and medical help in prison. Being SAd/groomed can really really mess you up, not to mention the person who did it giving you a deadly and incurable STD

Before UA-cam, the tagger named, Chaka was the scourge of SoCal early 90s. His graffiti even got the attention of the Arsenio Hall show.
I don't see how a tagger could be a scourge. Maybe in the eyes of the American cops, if they don't feel like stopping any real crimes.
@@thewhitefalcon8539 Because tagging ≠ graffiti. The latter is an art form, the former is just destroying property by putting your initials on it. Chaka definitely toed that line, though. Like, it's definitely not fully realized graffiti, but it's far more effort and has more artistic value than straight up tagging.
Personally I think his prolific body of work (10,000 tags, like seriously wtf) and the fact that the "CHAKA" image became so iconic, makes it lean more into the artistic side.
@@thewhitefalcon8539 you don't see how? having quickly-made scrawls on every shutter and spare wall can make a place look disgusting as well as lowering the value of the sprayed-up property. You wouldn't appreciate someone's name sprayed on your garage door.
Then someone needs to clean it off - often taking city money straight from your taxes in order to do so. Now, when a year has gone by and the tag has finally been cleaned off... it gets tagged again. and I live in England, this is nothing to do with American cops not wanting to solve any crimes as you say.
My town had a notorious tagger called "PEST". Because he's quite aware that he was a pest.
@@AdamOwenBrowning my garage door is covered in people's names just like every other door on the street and I don't see any problem
@@WobblesandBean I hate how ambigous the word "Graffiti" is
Some describe it as you would art and murals, and some say it's tagging
it kinda feels like it takes the gravity out of the situation to call child victims of sexual grooming "underage women"... not hating it just gave me a bit of an off feeling
Take it up with UA-cam...
@@Theoneyouneedtofear lol
He has to word it in a sensitive way. It’s upsetting stuff.
@ArtixellAnimations it is and I totally respect the intention, however I have a personal belief (that is not anyone's problem I just still have my right to express it) that changing the wording of a story that would be upsetting despite being the truth, to something that while still true is less likely to invoke negative emotion desensitizes many people to the actual gravity and weight of the occurance. For example; "These underage women were harassed" invokes a very different feeling within me than saying "these children were harassed" despite knowing the sentences reference the same people. Hope this makes sense!
"He called them yummy kiddos"
I drive all day at work and your whole catalog of videos has kept me entertained for countless hours. Thank you, Wavy! I could listen to you talk about a single potato chip for an hour and and I'm certain you'd some how make it interesting 🤣!
the no mic all black and white format with the cards (from my knowledge as a 23 yr old) stems from the video that Amanda Todd posted before her tragic death… rest easy beautiful 🕊️🤍

For an "internet historian" I'm kinda surprised wavywebsurf didn't know the black/white handwritten cards thing originated with Amanda Todd and the video she made before she took her own life
Absolutely love the long videos, wavy.. one of the best commentary channels on UA-cam by far
16:18 not sure if I'd call it 'edgy teenage girls' here, a lot of them shared stories of trauma and abuse
The fact they felt the need to share their “story’s” with UA-cam makes them pretty edgy in my opinion. Attention seeking behavior

not really sure if becoming a real estate agent would count as turning your life around but nice video Wavy!
is real estate agent not a reasonable job?
@@joeg5414 Well I suppose but many agents are in a field that may use manipulation as a tactic. Same for sales, advertising etc.
If you are a white collar criminal this is a useful occupation.
On the black and white videos done by young girls using note cards, I think I can give some insight as to why that became such a phenomenon. Unfunny and genuine look into teenage girlhood below.
Of course the format makes most people think of Amanda Todd, her case was very prolific and incredibly heartbreaking but also popularized the format of videos. In the early days of the internet, grooming was not uncommon, especially for teenage girls who's neglectful parents never gave them attention but plenty of unrestricted internet access. Bullying by your peers and slut shaming is also something other teenage girls can HEAVILY relate to. So seeing one girl feel brave enough to speak out can cause a domino effect of other girls finally speaking out about what they're facing. (I'm aware there's an aspect that many were riding off the attention Amanda's video got but we have to ask ourselves "what is going on in that person's life that they're so desperate for attention that they're using this to get attention as well?")
The format also allows a lot of anonymity. It was an early form of publicly venting on a throwaway account. It allows them to get things off their chest that they're going through at home or at school and potentially receive support from internet strangers that they aren't receiving at home.
Also, the 2000s and early 2010s were very not nice to teenage girls. That's a whole nother can of worms but even down to something like just things we liked and enjoyed were being mocked and ridiculed constantly (literally just look at Twilight) and mental health wasn't as important as it is now. Eating disorders were higher, slut shaming was a lot higher, there were a lot of issues that are only really getting decent attention now.
My main point is, they may seem like silly emo video trends, but sometimes we just have to look at things with a more empathetic eye. 💕 Great video as always!
I just read the last part and I still feel like I got the point so thank you hope this helps both of us.
Ross still very much is active and has 100x the quality and thought put into his new pranks. He has his own streaming website I believe thats why theres not as much on youtube but still does on youtube too. Hes the man
