Some people become viral sensations for their talent or wit; others achieve it through sheer audacity. Enter a middle-aged cowboy-hat-wearing man in boots and a chain, whose recent unhinged tirade has the internet in stitches; not for its content, but for its cringe. Armed with nothing but his “debate skills” and a heap of misplaced rage, this self-proclaimed conservative actor berated a Latino woman and her husband over, of all things, dog poop.
Yes, the saga begins with dog poop. Well, it’s rather tricky to work out what this whole ramble is about, but it appears our cowboy is upset that a neighbor complained about his cleaning of his house late at night. The cowboy then claims she’s dirty for not cleaning up her dog’s poop. In reality, this is just a racist rant from a deluded weirdo.
The “debate” spirals into an eight-minute marathon of racist slurs, fragile masculinity, and inexplicable rants about liberals, “third-world countries,” and even the Alamo. Watching him unravel is akin to witnessing a high-stakes Shakespearean drama, but with none of the eloquence and all of the absurdity. Naturally, the video blew up on Reddit, where commenters wasted no time roasting him into internet oblivion.
Mid-rant, the cowboy (who claims he’s “famous in Austin”) demands to know if his targets had attended college and could “debate.” Ironically, his debating style involves shouting “go back to your third-world country” and calling the woman “a little girl.” Not exactly Lincoln-Douglas material. As one Redditor noted: “A conservative can debate respectfully”… proceeds to scream, “You’re a child!”.
The pièce de résistance? He proudly declared himself “a white man and proud,” an assertion that somehow managed to come off as both irrelevant and hilariously self-incriminating. It’s unclear what white male pride has to do with dog waste, but the internet isn’t one to look gift cringe in the mouth.
If the words weren’t enough, the man’s cowboy ensemble became a viral sideshow in itself. He resembled a budget Ted Nugent—or as one Redditor put it, “What in the Temu Brett Michaels?” Another quipped, “Great Value Ted Nugent, now with even less talent”. The gaudy chain and cowboy hat paired with his fiery meltdown had commenters joking about everything from meth withdrawal to mid-life crises.
In what might be the most delusional moment of the video, the man proclaims he’s a celebrity in Austin, TX. Local commenters were quick to refute the claim, suggesting his fame might be limited to late-night karaoke bars or all-male revues. Others speculated that his “celebrity” status was limited to a very niche crowd of cowboy cosplayers.
The video’s highlight reel of contradictions and outbursts earned it a mix of ridicule too. The cowboy implored his targets to “never speak to [him] again” but then returned repeatedly to yell some more. His attempt to weaponize the Alamo as a rhetorical device was another comedic misfire. “WE TOOK THE ALAMO,” he shouted triumphantly. One commenter clarified, “Motherf**er, the Alamo is famous for being a LAST STAND THAT LOST”*.
While his actions are undoubtedly fueled by prejudice and ignorance, the man’s public meltdown inadvertently united everyone in collective laughter. This unintentional comedian reminds us that hate isn’t just ugly; it’s profoundly embarrassing when aired in public.
