Who is and what is cheeseball man? They hold a simple message from a masked
man wishing to remain anonymous. He is anonymous.
He doesn't want you to know who. You know how superheroes are always anonymous? You know how superheroes are always anonymous? Come see me. Eat this entire jar of cheese
balls on April 27. If you cheeseball, they will come. [Screaming] Man, he really did draw a huge crowd here. [Cheering and laughing] [Korean] Hey, everybody. My name is Anthony Po,
and I am cheeseball man. I spent the past seven months roleplaying
as a superhero in New York City. And to be totally honest,
I did not want to make this video. I'll talk a lot about it at the end. But until then, let me tell you
a fantastic story. It all started about 9- this guy in Philadelphia. This entire rotisserie chicken. So I decided to eat an entire jar
of cheese balls, but I decided to do it

a little bit differently,
you know, with the whole costume. I'm going to hang up 400 of these posters
and see who comes. So I hung up
420 posters like a month in advance. And Cheeseball
Man was going very viral on the Internet. But I didn't know how many people
would show up to this event. Hey, everybody. Cheeseballman427 here. I'm in New York City right now, and today
is April 27, 2024. A thousand people RSVPed to the eating a jar of cheese
balls in Union Square Park. I'm going to get arrested.
Let's role play. You'll be a police officer
trying to arrest me really quick. IT’S HIS IDEA. IT’S ALL HIS IDEA. IT WAS HIS IDEA. Alright,
T-minus about an hour until the event. Or rather, I should say t minus
about one hour until I get arrested. And my entire life changes
forever. T minus one hour.

until I have a criminal history,
t-minus one hour until I disappoint my parents. T minus one hour,
until I have an army of a thousand people and command them to charge the police
and steal their service weapons. Hey, 3 p.m. I'm
going to be in these in Union Square Park. Union Square Park at 3 p.m. I'm going to be in these whole things.
The whole thing. Whole thing. Knux. Hell, yeah. I am. Oh, actually? Yeah, I'll be there. Oh, fantastic. Soon, one day,
this whole world will know cheeseballman427. I don't want to put the balaclava
on to draw attention, but there's, like, 30 minutes left
until this thing happens. I saw a poster. We like came here just for this. We saw this poster last week. Should I just not do it? Should I just not do it? Should I just quit, should I just not do it?

All of these beautiful New Yorkers
came out to see one thing, and it was time to give it to them. [CROWD CHEERING] Would I be able to eat
all of these cheese balls without throwing up? Today, I will be eating: THIS ENTIRE JAR OF CHEESEBALLS. I am pretty sure
NYPD will show up and take me out in handcuffs. So I will try to finish as much of this as possible. [Chanting] Eat those balls. And eat those balls I did. One at a time,
with absolutely no experience. I AM IN PAIN. But let me just say, I love New York City. [Chanting] THIS IS AWESOME. CHEESEBALL FOR PRESIDENT! This was the moment that I did not want
to turn this into a YouTube video. It was the greatest and dumbest thing
ever. I'm not a professional eater
in any capacity. I weigh 110 lbs soaking wet.

And this is 985 cheese balls. I LOVE AMERICA. I am not Cheeseballman427. You guys are. And with nearly 2500 calories of cheese bals already in my system, there was but a single one left. [Chanting] CHEESEBALLMAN. I've only got one question: Same time next year? I sat there for like an hour and a half and signed like hundreds of autographs as this fake, stupid little character. And I thought this would be it. Immediately. I took a couple of interviews, not thinking anything would really come from it. I was on every single news channel. Over 50 million views of the event had appeared online just within the first day. I was getting requested to do cameos. People were asking for me to send pictures. And by the way, I'm not gonna send feet pictures - show you some of my Pokémon that I got here. I was all over the Internet.

I wasn't planning on this to be a career,
but it had lowkey become one. I was doing charity events. I got to give over $10,000 to charities
and the people of New York City, which is crazy.
I got sponsorship opportunities. My favorite clothing
company wanted to sponsor CheeseballMan, and I was like,
Hey, I'm actually a YouTuber. So yeah, this video was sponsored by them,
but also like sponsored’s a strong word because like,
this is a dream collaboration. CheeseballMan was much bigger than Anthony Po had ever been,
and also, honest to God, more enjoyable. People invited me to things,
they put up billboards of me. I got to make stupid videos,
and people enjoyed them. I wanted to be Cheeseball Man forever. And so at this point,
you're probably like: “Well then why are you making this video?” IT’S BECAUSE OF YOU GUYS. Every time I would make a post
on Cheeseballman.

And fourth of all, the comments would be one of you guys saying, “This is definitely anthpo.” The comments would get flooded by all of you. You guys made exposed videos on me. Well-documented, well-researched, well-put-together exposed videos that I had to pay to get removed. Why do you keep your identity hidden? Why do we not get to know who this man is? Is he a menace? Who is cheeseball man? Many people are trying to unmask who the New York cheeseball man actually is. Ohhhh it's getting hot... PEOPLE ARE GONNA FIND OUT. Why do you think people are so infatuated with you? I think the beautiful part of CheeseballMan427 is that anybody could be behind the mask, y’know? I encourage people to do fun things. Y’know? It doesn't have to be me. It could be you! It could be you two right there! You guys look like you could have some fun like this.

I think you're not wrong there, actually. Cheese, man. I might try some balls a bit later myself. Thank you very much. Don't go anywhere. We'll have more of today and all the spectacular things that we feature on this show.... Now, the story gets way crazier than this, and I'm going to make follow-up videos on it... But this concludes the fun part of the video. So if you just wanted to watch something goofy, that is it. That is the video. Thank you for watching. Now, I have been depressed. This is cringe. This year's been tough for me for a billion different reasons, but I feel like I owe it to Cheeseballman to bring it up. It's really hard to show in this video just how much time I spent being cheeseball man, but it was more fun and simple than my life. But I also didn't want to ruin cheeseball man for me.

I knew my identity as Cheeseball man was all but doomed. But maybe other people could take my place... I'm probably going to be releasing one or two more videos about this whole story. It gets crazy, and it absolutely would not have been possible without Cool Shirtz :3 I do, I do want to clean this stuff up. I feel guilty... “Cheeseballman left a mess!” “Cheeseballman left a mess!” “Cheeseballman littered!” No, Cheeseballman does not litter! Cheeseballman stands for very good things. Well, you're really doing the work. I'm kind of just holding this thing... You bought it and it's fine. You spend money.
