Bored Panda spoke to The Amazing Troll Man himself, and he told his whole story. “A few years ago I wrote a post that went viral,” he explained, gazing moodily into the distance whilst puffing on his pipe. “It was a satire post about an old schoolyard prank. Seeing so many people laugh at what I had written was a good feeling.”
“Then, a couple of years later, I bought a cucumber from a supermarket called Tesco here in the UK.point 87 | On opening the cucumber I discovered a dead worm trapped inside the cellophane wrapper.point 161 | I decided to write a jokey complaint to Tesco on Facebook.point 209 |
At first, I got the standard responses from their marketing team so I kept pushing them until a guy called Rob jumped in to have a bit of banter with me.point 123 | The post quickly went viral.point 147 | Every publication in the UK gave it a mention and it reached RTL tv in Germany.point 211 |

“Once again it was a great feeling amusing so many people online. This was in 2016.”
“Fast forward to 2018 I suffered from a mental breakdown. I was hit with anxiety and depression. I had never felt so low in my life. It took me nearly a year to pick myself up. Everyone was so surprised to see the joker of the pack fall to his knees.”
Troll-Man had reached his low and just knew he had to start doing things he was passionate about to get himself back on his feet… one of those things was making people laugh. So he decided to become the ‘customer service.’
