A viral gym video has sent social media into hysterics, featuring a man’s unhinged tirade against a fellow weightlifter at a gym in Sturbridge, Massachusetts. The bizarre spectacle unfolds with high-pitched shrieks of “YOU AIN’T THAT GUY!” and “SHUT UP!” escalating into a cringeworthy boast of his alleged $20,000-a-month income. The incident, punctuated by the man’s promise that his adversary would be “on Facebook tonight,” has ironically backfired, with the screamer himself becoming a subject of ridicule online.
The drama began when dumbbells rolled off a bench and hit the victim of the rant. The infuriated man, reportedly the target of a retaliatory comment, responded with a theatrical outburst that could rival any reality show meltdown. His voice cracked and climbed octaves as he berated the other gym-goer, shouting insults that ranged from juvenile taunts to declarations of financial superiority. The absurdity reached a crescendo when he shouted, “YOU’LL BE ON FACEBOOK TONIGHT, BUDDY!”—a prophecy fulfilled in ways he likely didn’t anticipate.
The internet wasted no time in dissecting the video. Comments from Reddit were merciless:
- “Can you imagine videoing yourself acting like that and then posting it?” remarked one user.
- Another quipped, “Who the f*** makes $20K/month and goes to Planet Fitness?!”.
- “He may be small in the pants, but at least the pants are not on fire,” one comment mocked, referencing his exaggerated claims.
- “He is foaming at the mouth,” one Reddit comically summed up.
Others honed in on the situation’s comedic absurdity, likening his shrill cries to everything from a squeaky goose to a malfunctioning cartoon character.
The Face Reveal Is Crazy
As the video racked up views, a follow-up explanation surfaced on the Instagram page 617reelz. In the clip, the man claimed his reaction was justified because the dumbbells had hit someone else and that the victim had mouthed off at him. However, viewers weren’t convinced. While gym etiquette and personal space are serious matters, the over-the-top theatrics have made the screamer a meme-worthy figure rather than a sympathetic one.
The man’s self-righteous promise to immortalize his gym rival on Facebook has turned into an ironic punchline. As one Redditor put it, “His voice may squeak, but he ain’t no liar”. Indeed, the internet has granted his wish, ensuring he’ll remain immortalized—not as the hero of his own story, but as a meme for the ages.
From his claims of wealth to his unintended comedy, the gym meltdown is a masterclass in how not to handle public confrontations. As for the internet? It has a new viral catchphrase: “YOU AIN’T THAT GUY!”
