29 August 2024 18:14
The internet has been buzzing about Crawly for some time now. The man started by publishing TikToks where he crawled through Warsaw shopping centres. The project has evolved to the point where a large group of costumed individuals now participate. Crawly, along with an army of gnomes, set out to defeat MrBeast's knights.
Jimmy Donaldson, known by the pseudonym "MrBeast," is an American YouTuber and entrepreneur mainly recognised for creating extremely popular videos online. Born on 7 May 1998, he gained wide recognition for his original and often extreme content. His videos often feature various challenges, competitions with large cash prizes, experiments, and charitable initiatives. He is also known for giving away large sums of money, both to participants in his videos and to those in need.
is Crawly challenging MrBeast?
An East Slavic TikToker figured out a way to attract the attention of netizens. The man initiated a new trend involving moving on his knees in public spaces. Initially, the creator acted alone, but his idea evolved over time. Now, more and more people are participating in the project. The "Crawly" channel has grown so much that the author of the idea organised special meetings in shopping centres to record more videos. Everything is happening in Poland.
For a long time, Crawly has been performing in a gnome costume. He sneaks into shops to fight against people dressed as knights. His content apparently caught the eye of MrBeast. The popular YouTuber commented on one of his videos: "Knights > Gnomes. CRAWLY watch out" ("Knights are better than gnomes. Crawly, watch out"). These words provoked Crawly the Gnome, who decided to challenge him to a fight.
Gnomes vs. knights - the ultimate showdown
Fans of the project didn't have to wait long, as less than a week after MrBeast's jibe, the showdown between Crawly's Gnomes and the popular YouTuber's Knights took place. A video of the fight appeared on the American's TikTok. The fight ended in a draw and mutual agreement.
