WHERE IS THE 'BRUH MEME' GUY NOW?! (2022)

In 2012, Tony Farmer (From Ohio) became one of the first ever viral memes on Vine. A video of him fainting in court was paired with the BRUH sound effect and it was shared across the country.

But very few people know that Tony Farmer was actually a star high school basketball player at the time.

Raising the question... where is he now?

0:00-0:59 BRUH MEME
1:00-1:40 Basketball Star
1:41-2:20 Sent to Prison
2:21-3:12 Return to Bball
3:13-4:30 He Goes Pro!
4:31-5:50 Sad Ending…

The fact that he got into trouble AGAIN for the same thing is a certified bruh moment.

[alfatir]

Never knew what his charges were or how long his sentence was. The way he fainted, I figured he got life. 🤣🤣🤣

[tracygilbert]

These kids need to realize that without self control, all your athletic abilities alone will not get you to the NBA.

[jdbtabouret.]

This is why Bron isn't going to Ohio anymore 💀💀💀

[jdvsjboy]

Seeing him back in trouble for the same thing is wild, I guess basketball was the only thing keeping him out of it 🤷🏽‍♂️

[joelman]

Can’t believe he didn’t learn his lesson after 3 years

[RobSoRandom]

Dude did more after prison than most ppl will do that's never been

[mintTv]

I’m not going to lie. Him fainting be having dying everytime😂😂

Smh... I'm a full blown adult, been to college in dorms, dated tons of women, been in love, had drama with relationships and falling outs and all that, met girls at work, met girls on apps, met girls at bars, and on and on, and I've NEVER beat one up, kidnapped one, slapped one around or anything. These dudes really need to manage their anger, learn how to walk away, and get into relationships with someone that you actually LIKE and wouldn't harm

The one good thing from these stories is that you can actually show your children what can happen, rather than just telling them (like my parents did). I think the visual story hits harder and makes a bigger impression on them to do the right thing and stay out of trouble and how quickly it can all get taken away from you if you're not careful.

You were very kind talking about Farmer and his original time in prison. You showed a very short clip of the assault video. He dragged that girl through an apartment lobby and beat the living shit out of her. Dude will undoubtedly be in prison later on.

[mellissa]

This is exactly why people need to have control of their emotions. Too many in jail or prison because they didn't.

[NAT-turners-Revenge]

His biggest mistake after the juco level was not transferring to a D1 school

[natlinder]

My stepson was on the team with him… his mother would yell and cuss out the refs and fight parents from rival schools… nobody really liked her… he didn’t have a good role model at home… just sad because he was an absolute beast on the court

[momentas]

Kidnapping and Assault are not a “mistake” they are a choice. Clearly he didn’t learn anything as he committed domestic assault again and was caught on camera again.

[sebastienc.]

Coaches and parents (emphasis on parents) need to double down these kids, making sure that they are on the right path while reducing the trauma.

[robbiebalboa]

Sometimes being a boyfriend isn’t for everyone.

[Judah]

I think it’s cool that you shared his story.. for him and for young players who need inspiration to stay on the right track

[jamesjohnson]

God the universe said this guy mission on earth isn't over keep going big guy

[Swannkkkkk]

You got to be from Cleveland to know him and how fucked up this situation was but clearly he didn’t learn cause he did it again. She put out alot of videos
