Passengers aboard American Airlines Flight 3156 from Charlotte to Denver were in for an unexpected show when a male passenger caused a disruptive scene mid-flight, allegedly over a phone charger and a first-class seat request. The chaos was captured by a fellow traveler and has since gone viral on TikTok and Reddit. The video shows the man, quickly dubbed “No-Neck Jonah Hill” by viewers, angrily pacing the aisle while yelling at flight attendants and fellow passengers.
According to the TikToker who posted the footage, “YOOOOO this sh-t is wild to experience in real life. Our boy no-neck was not having it on flight 3156 from Charlotte to Denver last night when the flight attendants wouldn’t give him a charging chord OR a 1st class seat on a full flight.” In the video, the visibly irate man is heard yelling, “If she’s going to be a b-tch, I’ma call it out!” followed by “Shut the f-ck up and sit down. You have three f-cking seconds before I f-ck you up.”
At one point, he walks aggressively up and down the aisle, only to be met with quiet resistance. A passenger seated near the TikToker is heard asking, “Should I trip him?” Moments later, the man stumbles, prompting more tension. “Bro, come on, bro. You were gonna try and trip me, bro? You’re a p-ssy, bro,” the man snaps back.

Online reactions to the viral video were a mix of disbelief, ridicule, and amusement. Many viewers were quick to call for consequences, with one person writing, “No-fly list forever. Lol,” while another called the man a “whiny man-child” and added, “Causing issues at 30,000 feet. Very pathetic and sad.”
Others couldn’t help but mock his appearance and behavior, comparing him to actor Jonah Hill. “Is that Jonah Hill’s long-lost brother?” one user joked, while another quipped, “Temu Jonah Hill is very upset.” The nickname “No-Neck Jonah Hill” quickly picked up steam, with another commenter saying, “No neck, Temu dupe Jonah Hill stomping down the aisles is killing me.”
American Airlines’ Conditions of Carriage make it clear that passengers who are abusive, harassing, intoxicated, or pose any threat to safety can be denied boarding, removed mid-flight, or permanently banned. Flight crews have the authority to intervene, and disruptive conduct may also lead to being placed on the airline’s internal no-fly list. Moreover, under federal regulations enforced jointly by airlines and the FAA, making threats or interfering with crew duties can result in civil penalties, up to $37,000 per violation, and even criminal prosecution. It’s unclear whether he was escorted off the plane upon landing, but many online are calling for him to be added to the no-fly list.
