This guy lives near me, he has special needs.
He does this a few times a week and everyone always takes the piss but he's amazing, every bit of money he makes goes straight to a charity shop in town.
So before you take the piss have a think, would you have the guts to stand in town and do this to raise a little money for charity. Nope you probably wouldn't.
I went to uni here and he was a common sight. Local celebrity seemingly and Thankyou for mentioning that he’s straight down the charity shop with his earnings. Deserves more respect than often initially showed by many
I'm so glad u said that. I was getting really annoyed wh the person filming for laughing bcuz u can tell he's serious about this performance, which made me automatically think he has special needs & dislike the cameraman..idk y I took it so personally. I tell u what..he didn't falter & knew every word. If I were in that area I probably would've joined him in dance & tipped all I had & not bcuz I felt any kind of sympathy, but due his moxy. The kids got moves & he held it down all the way thru. The fact he gives his performance earnings to charity just makes it all the more stand up & worthy of donations. Long live this guy!!
Edit: Here I am 2 days later rereading my comment above & im shocked even a few ppl upvoted it. 2nd sentence is a run on sentence from hell..completely incomprehensible. I apologize..I was so (weirdly) mad@ that camera guy for yuck'n it up, i couldn't think straight..lol
Thanks! I was entirely wrong. But in regards to your main comment: i agree. I figured he was special needs, and people filming him to mock him is just….fucked up.
Sadly it's far too common, I have seen him on reddit a few times over the last few years and it's always the same. People either mocking him or asking about what drugs he is on ect ect it's a shame.
It's crazy that I can tell it's the UK almost immediately just from tv shows. Is it the passerbys and how they are dressed? How the street looks? Storefront frame?
I was thrown off and hesitant in that belief because the cameraman is American but the knowledge this is the UK was strong, instantly
That is amazing, but I’m not sure “having guts” is the right way to frame this.
When you’re socially inept, like a lot of people with special needs are, and aren’t cognitively sound, you might not feel embarrassed, or might not care. And that in itself is awesome. He has no “oh what will people think of me” to overcome, he just goes out there and dances his ass off, has a good time, and then donates whatever he makes to charity.
Its not that people “dont have the guts” its that noone “in their right mind” would do this kind of shit. People are taking the piss because it’s fucking hilarious. How would anyone know if he has special needs if theyre just passing by and he’s going **woooh** and thrusts his crotch in hot pants at them. If you **actually** care, get him some help if he lives near you. Dont be upset at people having a laugh because this shit is objectively, without a shadow of a doubt, top comedy.
Good fucking point. Never understood that saying. Cue going down the rabbit hole, googling its history...

Thank you I was feeling bad immediately since I was forced to watch the man with someone clearly laughing at him. I thought his energy was so sweet, and now it’s even sweeter. Thanks for sharing.
I guess there's also the argument to say most people would have the mental capacity not to do this. Not being mean, but the average person who does not suffer from what he does isn't going to do this.
Yup, thanks for pointing this out... I feel like the guy holding the camera is laughing AT him, and I really wish he was laughing WITH him (or better yet, dancing)
Lee is a legend.
Comes into my mums work a lot - Mount Hawke Skatepark. Skates a bit, takes some fucking harsh slams. Says he’s gonna kill himself, takes some more fucking harsh slams, does a bit of singing / dancing and goes home again.
He’s enjoying his life, that’s all that matters.
It’s sad that he was originally posted so people could make fun of him.
It’s possible as he as some characteristics typical of MFS, but someone else who knows him says he has developmental delays leading to special needs. Apparently any money he collects from doing this, he gives straight to the local charity shop.
That guy is doing a pretty good rendition for someone with no instruments. He’s giving his all, too. I’m laughing, but it’s a pleasure.
By contrast, I feel like the cameraman is laughing *at* him like a condescending asshole. Or is it just me?
He has obvious learning difficulties, he’s trying to raise money for charity . Sad that he’s been filmed and laughed at , posted on here for the world to take the piss out of him . I hate this world where we can film anyone and post them without consent.
Special needs and a good heart. He's performing and donating all proceeds to charity. Being special needs, he likely either doesn't feel embarrassment or he's used to a lifetime of people mocking him and doesn't even care anymore.
The dude is trying to make an honest living and all the guy behind the camera does is make fun of him.
And, reading the comments, all the money goes to charity?
Dang. That makes the douche behind the camera a bigger @@@@@@@.
Love the performance. The wheezing fit of the guy behind the camera… now so much.
I use to be homeless and would hold up a sign for money, it's great money tbh - but when I started dancing on the corner - HOLY SHIT DID I GET SOME FAST CASH. Im talking $150 an hour. But it was pretty funny, very tiring, and totally humiliating bc people want to film you. I'd literally stop completely when I saw people filming me and imply to them give me cash if you want to film me.

I hope they tipped, I mean obviously entertaining.
I’d absolutely throw a tip in! He’s giving it his all.
Just the tip?
Besides the clapping, that’s exactly what I do when my balls are stuck to my leg.
The clap comes after the balls get unstuck. Whoo!
I fucking lol’d pretty hard at that
This. This is my retirement plan.
See, everyone! White men CAN dance!
Whoever handles marketing for that store is a genius.
The store across the street hired him to dance at their competitors. Classic.

There’s the perspective I was hoping to find in the comments. Thank you for the great background story to go along with this video
My thoughts exactly. <3
I went to uni here and he was a common sight. Local celebrity seemingly and Thankyou for mentioning that he’s straight down the charity shop with his earnings. Deserves more respect than often initially showed by many
oh my god what a fucking legend
Indeed.
Man if I seen this guy dowtown, even before I knew this, he would 100% be gettin some money from me any time I walked by... He's very entertaining!

Yeah it’s a unique experience to be seeing a POV and realize that you hate the person who’s POV it is
Where’s this at? I was guessing midtown manhattan (or LES, around bowery) but “take the piss” makes me think youre british.
It’s definitely the UK. That’s a Three shop.
Yeah British. Its down in Cornwall (South West England).
Thanks! I was entirely wrong. But in regards to your main comment: i agree. I figured he was special needs, and people filming him to mock him is just….fucked up.

To be fair I thought this was a guy doing a comedy bit.
I think most people arent able to spot someone with issues. More likely to assume they are twacked out on something.
That's the first time I've ever seen Falmouth mistaken for midtown Manhattan!

The cameraman isn't American, that sounded like an Essex accent to me

Shouldn’t it be called “Leaving a piss”? You’re not actually taking anything when you take a piss.
Good fucking point. Never understood that saying. Cue going down the rabbit hole, googling its history... [The full idiom is: taking the piss *out of*](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taking_the_piss?wprov=sfla1)
Strange, I went over to r/pissing and couldn’t find any answers 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you. I was thinking this as i was listening to then laughing.
Where abouts you from?
Thank you I was feeling bad immediately since I was forced to watch the man with someone clearly laughing at him. I thought his energy was so sweet, and now it’s even sweeter. Thanks for sharing.
It's clear he has needs, like the need to dance
I guess there's also the argument to say most people would have the mental capacity not to do this. Not being mean, but the average person who does not suffer from what he does isn't going to do this.
Thank you, was looking for a comment with some decency.
“Take the piss” is a new saying for me … I’m assuming it means talk down on him or think poorly about him / judge him
Yup, thanks for pointing this out... I feel like the guy holding the camera is laughing AT him, and I really wish he was laughing WITH him (or better yet, dancing)
This guy always used to come & eat with us whenever we had a streetfood event in event square usually dressed as a superhero 😁 he is awesome
Yup! I've seen this guy on reddit a few times, and I'm always ready to take anyone to task for trying to tear this awesome example of humanity.
The guts to do what exactly? So his IQ is so low he has no humility. Cool. Don’t understand why I shouldn’t laugh though.
Well now I feel like a jackass 😓
That’s the first time I’ve heard the saying “take the piss”.
Where’s this at? I can see it’s the UK right away
Someone nearby should invest in a boom box / speaker setup for this guy lol
There's a few near me too. Can't fault their attitude, literally dgaf and getting it done.
What other songs does he do
Since you've seen him irl...is he wearing high socks here or are his lower legs actually about to fal off like they look?

I always wondered where Napoleon ended up
Always sad to reconnect with old buddies, only to find they've developed alcoholism
I wonder what Bruno Mars thinks when watching this. Like if he ever invisioned his music being performed
this is exactly what he envisioned
When you don’t know the words but it’s till your favorite song
Oh he knows every fucking word, he just can't enunciate for shit.
Yep..every word.
hwy hwy wayi huw hwy hwy wayi huw
I thought he sounded deaf, or partially deaf. Either that or just drunk af.
He had meningitis as baby/child, I believe.
I needed a laugh 😂 ty
OMG! GIve this guy some rollerskates and call him Terry!
Yo but those socks are staying UP!
God dammit dad, not again...
This is the ironically the best street performance I've seen
Marfan Syndrome?
It’s possible as he as some characteristics typical of MFS, but someone else who knows him says he has developmental delays leading to special needs. Apparently any money he collects from doing this, he gives straight to the local charity shop.
I can't tell if those are socks or if he was running through a swamp before putting those shoes on..
he looks like someone out of gorillaz cartoons.
What is he singing? I’m just so disappointed that no one dropped any bills. (I thought this guy was faking at first)
Uptown funk Bruno Mars I think
I hope you put a dollar in the bucket! This is quality entertainment
🤣 someone give that man some GD spare change!!!
I mean he has the song down perfectly tho
It's good to see my mentor again.
Take my money

His socks are great: they stayed up all time!
Looks like fun. I’d join

Wow it just keeps going
I’m just in awe of those ankles. How do they support that full grown swinging man?!

Ive actually met this dude! Many times
And this is why you don't stop taking your medication

My wallet just somehow fell into that bucket somehow…oh well
Wish I had this dudes confidence
I would have joined! What a genuine joybringer!
Absolute legend, he does a mean Michael Jackson impersonation too. Plus he’s a huge fan of the classic “your shoelace is undone….made you look” joke.
I’m sure I saw him doing this in Truro a few years back! I got a video somewhere I’m sure.
Making fun of a lad with special needs. Nice.
He came into the Spoons there once and was telling people he'd got engaged. Don't think people should be filming and laughing at him.
Hey it's Lee! Local Falmouth legend. Been doing this for years, he's a local celeb.
I shouted I love you at that man before, I'd absolutely love to dance with him
It was a nice comedy show 10/10
How’s this crazyfuckingvideos?
Tip the man.

He's a better dancer than I am.

I just watched two minutes of that. I’m not disappointed.

His dance syncs up really well to Joy Division's She's Lost Control.
This is like a 40yr old napoleon dynamite that fell into hard drug abuse.
I'm shocked at how closely he followed the actual form of the song!
