A TikTok video from Houston, Texas, is going insanely viral, garnering over 9 million views in a couple days. The short video clip shows a man absolutely covered in grease. I mean, this man looks like the top of him was dipped into the chocolate shell bin at a Dairy Queen, and his bottom half is the cone. He's that covered. The video shows this man behind a restaurant, leading one to believe he was stuck in a grease trap or vent. Given that Houston police officers are surrounding him, it looks like he tried to break into a restaurant, and with a little bit of digging, I was able to confirm that's exactly what happened. The man is a former employee who was reportedly fired from Houston's Red Lion Pub, an English pub where you can watch European soccer, and when he tried to break in through the grease vent in the roof... he got stuck. Employees found him the next day so he must've been hanging out in there for quite a while.
"Got caught breaking it." Is anyone else getting
101 Dalmatians from this image? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-svHcA_hyCU I digress back to the original viral video. Now that we know this man is a criminal for breaking in somewhere before police take him into custody, they must remove some of the thick grease from him. As we all know from the numerous commercials after oil spills, nothing tackles grease like Dawn dish soap. And boy, does this company need to contact these guys. Although not the marketing a company would hope for involving a potential criminal, this is excellent free promo. The police officers pour soap from a Costco-sized bottle onto the man and tell him to scrub the grease off himself. The man groans a bit as he starts to rub the soap into his skin, and another officer is standing there, ready to hose him down after he works the soap into the layers of grease on his body. A lot is going on in this video, and little to understand. However, the best part of this video, and the lack of context, is half of the users don't give a flying f*** how this man ended up in this predicament. They want to know where to purchase a 5-gallon bottle of Dawn that size. Dawn might consider changing their slogan to encompass more than wildlife after this. "Dawn, tough on greasy criminals, yet gentle on feathers."
This comments section is one of the most elite I've seen in a while.
"This is a hell of a Dawn commercial." "Reminds me of the duck commercial." "The way he poured the soap just exactly where the guy couldn’t reach any of it." "Y'all talking about the big soap, but what's happening lol why does he have oil on him." "Well now I need to know if dawn really did help." "Okay I need a story time." "Where do you get a big bottle of dawn dish shop like that from?" "Damn, I’m invested, but on that soap, where did u get it?" "Not the paramedic smirking when he sees him." "Great commercial." "What was the action plan here?" "Got caught breaking into what? Like, how does he get in this predicament lol?" "For those curious, that is the restaurant-grade size of Dawn." "Is this the new 'Venom' movie?" (Highly underrated comment.)
