Depending on how you see it, we live in a golden or dark age of "man on the street" interviews. If you live in a major city or go to university, it can feel like people are always swarming you, asking, "What are you listening to?" or "How much does your outfit cost?" However, not all man-on-the-street interview questions are so innocuous. I know this might be shocking, but some social media influencers ask incendiary questions with no good answer to make unsuspecting people look bad! Who knew that TikTokers would do whatever they could to get the maximum engagement!!!

One man on the street interview recently went viral, starring what I expect to be a timeless meme superstar. When asked the question "economic stability or LGBT rights, a ponytail-clad man refused the question, even when pushed on it incessantly. He saw the game being played and was utterly unwilling to play it.
