“No way they found Waluigi Mangione.”

When Iranian-American Matin Samimiat signed as much as take part in a Jubilee video, he in all probability didn’t anticipate the response it could get.

Featured Video

It all began on July 20, when YouTube channel Jubilee posted a video titled, “1 Progressive vs 20 Far-Right Conservatives (ft. Mehdi Hasan).” As the title implies, the premise of the video entails Hasan debating twenty right-wing folks on key political points. (It’s a traditional Jubilee format.)

About 54 minutes in, Hasan got here face-to-face with Samimiat. The pair had a fierce debate in regards to the vetting course of for immigrants, however finally, it was unfortunate for Samimiat. Per the format of the video, he was voted out by the opposite individuals.

You would possibly suppose that that is probably the most embarrassing factor to occur to him — however sadly, issues received worse, as netizens began to mock his look.

During the video, he was sporting a cream-rimmed hat and a closely groomed mustache that will put Hercule Poirot to disgrace. And thus, the Mustache Hat Jubilee Guy was born.

It’s truthful to say that customers had a good time on X, because the timeline flooded with memes and observations about Samimiat. “Where the f**k is Jubilee finding these guys?” one requested.

Another christened him “Waluigi Mangione,” seamlessly tying in a reference to the much-stanned Luigi Mangione.

“Why does this guy look like he’s about to open a shop in my town that sells items that fulfill the townspeople’s deepest, darkest desires, but come at a terrible cost?” a third requested.

While a fourth questioned: “Why are the people who claim white superiority always so fucking chopped. You’d think you’d at LEAST bring your baddest bitch out when trying to claim the top spot.”

Needless to say, it looks like this video will proceed to observe Samimiat earlier than he’s immortalised within the meme corridor of fame.
