the kyle scheele scandal

I can’t think of an influencer scandal without thinking it’s something racist or bigoted in some way, pedophilic, and/or downright illegal. This is so tame and so refreshing.

“This was staged” “what was staged” “this” is such a TikTok exchange

kyle scheele is like if a buzzfeed quiz became a person

He feels like the human embodiment of the 🤪 emoji

"What are you in prison for?" "Murder." "Drugs." "I put a cardboard cut out of myself in a gas station."

I will say, Kyle Scheele's entire personality absolutely evokes the same energy as 2 slices of Gas station Pizza smushed together....

"Up to 10k" bruh just donate 10k lmfao. You're a billion dollar company

kyle scheele is such an annoying name it completely fits him

this guy just pulled off „in case you didn’t notice, i’m weird. i’m a weirdo” trope in his own apology. what a goofball.

Hes weird and mischievous in a buzzfeed “top 10 most savage corporate tweets” way

"gas station esque type comedy" is the most abolutely brutal insult. if someone said that to me i would never heal. id become a ghost because neither heaven or hell want to deal w me

To be honest the fact that a gas station is named "Kum & Go" is funnier than his entire tiktok

Kyle Scheele is like “In case you haven’t noticed, I’m weird. I’m a weirdo. I don’t FIT in, and I don’t wanna fit in. Have you ever seen me without this giant cardboard cutout of myself? That’s weird!”

This isn't even an original idea. A few years back, two kids secretly hung a fake ad poster of themselves in a McDonald's and no one noticed for like, two months. And as far as I know, that one wasn't faked or planned. Just a genuine story that went viral.

I feel like nobody remembers that this already happened WITH KUM AND GO. wayyyy back in like 2018-2019 there was this person who supposedly found the kum and go tiktok login on the ground outside one of the locations and logged in and “took over it” as a funny little thing, and then like a month later they admitted it was all a staged thing. Never had any hashtags, notifiers that they were sponsored, or anything like that. super annoying

The only thing that surprises me about this situation is that there's a store called 'Kum and Go' and that people actually buy food from it. Insane.

This could have all been avoided if he’s just said “this gas station reached out, we agreed to collaborate and they told me to go wild. So, I decided to play a little prank at one of their stores and see if anyone notices.” Heck, just hashtag ad and then nobody would give a crap.

The combo of Danny's sweater & hairstyle makes me feel like I'm standing in my front yard listening to Danny, my upper-middle class golf dad neighbor, gossip about his tennis double partner.

the way he was saying “mealie” to rhyme it with his last name makes me want to die of second-hand embarrassment

Danny, you read it in the article but didn't really seem to acknowledge it. Kum & Go's own marketing manager self-reported and sold Kyle out, on the same day the promotion started, because he's apparently the worst marketing manager in the world. I don't know what he was thinking, "Hahaaa! We fooled you all! Now you're still going to come in and buy the "Guy Who Lied To You Meal", right?" If he would have waited a month for the hype to die down before kuming out about it then the hate against Kyle would have been drastically reduced. Though, I will say, as a fellow Kyle, this Kyle's lame grandma humor is unbecoming of a Kyle and the reason he hasn't been inducted into the Concord of Kyles yet. Whenever you see somebody who labels themselves as a "Funny Guy" or "Internet Goofball", it typically means they're going to be annoyingly unfunny. Especially when they feel the need to constantly mention how funny/quirky/silly they are. Which has been especially true in this case. People with an actual decent sense of humor don't have to tell everyone they're funny, they just be it.
