The hero we didn't deserve, but never knew we needed.

[akiruh]

Finding out this was anthpo feels like a gotham citizen discovering batman was bruce wayne

[C.P.C]

Gotham has Batman, we have Cheeseball man

[Tacky]

its anthpo. he sounds like him, dresses like him, same blue eyes, and he recently came back to youtube.

Edit: RAAAAH. VINDICATION. also super cool to be featured in anthpos video

[christopherpeery]

The mask isnt for him. Its to protect his loved ones

[WFHRUG]

Cheeseball Man is truly the world's greatest superhero. I mean the Avengers have been real quiet since this guy appeared.

[quintonpaige]

We really got Cheeseball Man before GTA 6

[valentinor]

This is just the right moment in time when the world needs comic relief. Cudos to you Cheese ball Man and thank you!

Gotta find a reason to smile where you can.

[lukas-]

The fact that it's anthpo is crazy

People in 1800: "In 2024 we will have flying cars"
2024: Cheeseball Man

[Ussonan-Foderation]

This is what the Founding Fathers TRULY intended

[jakefromstatefarm]

He's not the hero we deserve, he's not even the here we need, but he's the hero we... have.

This is how good-hearted they depict the average New Yorker in Marvel Comics. If everyone could just chill, hang together; and, have an innocent good time like this more often, the city can be a wonderful place again.

This made me remember that there was a guy back then just like him that told hundreds online to watch him eat, except that he ate Rotisserie Chicken or something.
People like him can put aside differences and bring people together, what a Legend.😂

[YinAndYang_ii]

Humanity is so simply entertained and this is amazing

[kingnocturne]

Cheeseball Man absolutely deserves his own day!

[HachimokuTheSpider]

I am so glad that this is real
there is at least a little bit of hope left in humanity

[realhumbug]

my favorite part is where the reporter is asking Cheseball man simple questions in an interview and it just cuts to the guy holding a jar of Cheeseballs and staring at the camera 1:40

[marcusmifflin]

Cheese ball man gives me hope for the future. 😊❤
