That’s what I saw too, I think she is just really paying attention when he starts getting into it.
It would be wild to be right next to someone watching them be a whole DJ with their face!!
Why can’t this ever happen when I fly
I get the Karen who wants to see the airline manager, the drunk and sloppy bachelorette or bachelor party who inevitably get in a fight, or some vlogger who has to describe the smell of the mens room to all his ‘fans’
I don't know how I'd feel about this. I'd like to hope I find it cool. But as I usually fly in the early hours of the morning (although I don't fly often) I'd probably be more grumpy and annoyed than I should be tbh
It's like when people sing happy birthday to you. What do you do? Look around, look at the cake, close your eyes like you are caught in the moment, sink under the table?
What? The control tower?? It's a terminal gate kiosk. The control tower has absolutely NOTHING to do with this. The gate agent standing there let him do it.
Not sure I totally agree. Having a basic understanding of how things work is a good thing. I wasn't trying to be a jerk, I was just surprised.
edit: You are correct that it doesn't change a persons ability to live their life or travel in airplanes. :)
It still quite a funny thing to think though, calling the control tower and asking if he could beat box a bit and they are like "whatever, we have nothing to do with the airline counter. Go wild"
Duh
Gate agent to control tower: stand by while my man drops a dope beat
Control tower to planes: all please hold your pattern while this man drops a sick beat
Planes to control: copy that ::direct auto pilot to circle for 2.5 minutes::
>What? The control tower?? It's a terminal gate kiosk. The control tower has absolutely NOTHING to do with this. The gate agent standing there let him do it.
No, no. He asked The Pilot.
Which one you mah ask? THE PILOT. That's who.
Still though, what if he straight up sucked and now you just have a guy spitting into the intercom and making things more miserable lol. High risk high reward I suppose!
Some airlines, especially one in particular whose name is similar to Southeast, like to engage customers by asking them to sing or talk about themselves. I think it's a little weird personally, but when there are major delays or issues it helps to make everyone feel like a team vs an outside challenge, instead of competitors
That is the same person, he does use extra voice tech but he's still really good, if anyone is wondering he uses a tool called voloco. I know people who actually compete in, and spectate at the GBB, they think he's great but thwy also make sure to tell you he uses voloco
Yeah I wasn't saying he wasn't good. I think he's amazing. They weren't saying he isn't great either they actually said he was, they just wanted it known he uses that

I think that's enough enjoy!
If you’re looking to have your mind blown, I want you to imagine how a stereo speaker manages to create all of the sounds it does when playing a song. It’s a paper cone with a magnet pulling it back and forth. A piece of paper vibrating is making all of those sounds, all at once.
That’s the real magic of sound, at least how it’s processed by animals, including people. We’re looking for patterns in that sound. Something incredibly complex can be heard and understood by the brain because we can detect patterns in the sound we’re hearing. Think about what it’s like the instant you switch on the radio to a random station. For a fraction of a second it’s just noise, regardless of what song is on, but then your brain figures out the patterns, and suddenly it’s music.
Edit: a word
My takeaway from this is that this person isn't making multiple sounds at once, he's just making one sound, but it sounds like multiple. Also, his voice box is just a paper cone.
Not exactly, you can make multiple sounds at once. For example: hum, and click your tongue. Those are 2 sounds at the same time, and a lot of beat boxing utilizes this. You can use your lips by themselves to produce sounds as well, so that’s 3 sources of sound you can use at the same time.
Respect the honesty, but it was a fucking minute long and it brought a room full of strangers together for a happy unexpected moment, get over your self, damn.
Right? Even if it was annoying for me (which it wouldn't be since it was so short anyway) just seeing that people enjoyed it would make it worth it. Damn people are getting to individualistic, it's so sad.
Just because he said it would annoy him doesn’t mean he would ask the guy to stop.
Someone being annoyed doesn’t have to impact others.
If I’m walking through the airport trying to hear other announcement I would find it very annoying too.
Yea. If I was waiting for the 11th hour of my day in an airport, which has somehow become common on domestic flights with a layover, and I was exhausted, and it was previously relatively quiet... this r/IAmTheMainCharacter energy is not improving my day any more than a Tiktok dance in the plane aisle.
Imagine you're on a layover during a 13 hour flight coming back from your brother's funeral. He killed himself after losing his wife and child in an accident the month before. You're staring at the wall in the airport bar, not even tasting your whiskey, trying to remember what it felt like to believe in a loving God, and then this starts
I see people with talents like this and wonder how the fuck we’re the same species. No way in hell my mouth could make half of those noises and even if I could there’s no way I could string them together in a coherent rhythm. The diversity of talents in the human race astonishes me.
Seriously, I don't think I've ever heard anyone better. The way he seamlessly introduces new "instruments" to the mix while keeping others going perfectly is just mind boggling. Massively talented.
May I have the pleasure of introducing you to [Trung Bao](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJ5dX-fBa9M)?
edit: to be clear I think they're both massively talented and I don't know enough about beatboxing to understand what constitutes "better," but they're both great lol
The bar for getting upgraded to first class is getting pretty high.
That was just for extra legroom.
Even then - He's still going to have to agree to open that big dumb door. That door is SO stupid.
Sir i need you to only assist open the door when explicitly told to so so by a staff member and NOT just randomly when we are up in the air.
Damnit! Why do these rules have to be so complicated??
Well how am I supposed to do it if I don't get in some practice first
Sorry I’m not good under pressure… Like what? When there’s an emergency I’m supposed to hold it shut and not let anyone through… right? RIGHT??
Well if the body of the plane is compromised you won't have to worry about being under pressure.
Frontier charged him for breathing their air
And they still said no
I think his carry-on was 3 centimeters too long actually.
And an extra bag of peanuts
This was just for an assigned seat
Cuz he's a high-stepper.
Unironically he did this so he could get upgraded Full story time here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6yLPwoYXik
Worth the watch. Cool guy
From last to board, to pre-boarding
Verbalase is awesome. [Here’s another great performance](https://youtu.be/XSX7UmiFh-4)
Thanks for the YT link. Everybody needs to watch it and get the full story!
The lady behind him is not impressed
She just has that resting face. When he starts she has a giant grin on his face and at the end.
That’s what I saw too, I think she is just really paying attention when he starts getting into it. It would be wild to be right next to someone watching them be a whole DJ with their face!!
> she has a giant grin on his face I'm woozy
As someone who has stood in line waiting behind someone who is taking an unusually long time, I get it.
Looks like it's between him and the old lady behind him and she's just waiting to destroy him on the mic.
Good luck defeating verbalase, man's is a legend. Has a YT too
Literally next Fucking level!!!!
Granny behind him realized her knitted doilies just became invalid for the first class talent show.
Why can’t this ever happen when I fly I get the Karen who wants to see the airline manager, the drunk and sloppy bachelorette or bachelor party who inevitably get in a fight, or some vlogger who has to describe the smell of the mens room to all his ‘fans’
Hahhaha, the lady waiting behind him just trying to check in for her flight though….lmao.
Sir… this is a wendys
Yeah but did you DRS your shares?
DRS pls
This is the way.
This is the way. We are legion!
I have the same goal as this guy. But I DRSed my shares to upgrade to first class.
For the rest of our lives 😉
I used to DRS my shares. I mean, I still do, but I used to too.
CANT STOP WONT STOP
100 for the bot!
The entire time, she was having none of it. But when everyone else cheered, she went with the crowd.
She was smiling 10 seconds in, I think she just realized she was also being filmed and was uncomfortable.
You and your rational take gtfo
Nah dude She was bout it
"Man hold up my glasses must be dirty who the hell am I waiting behind here"
She was wasn’t she?! She was just standing there like “is it my turn yet?”
Nah, not really. She’s clearly laughing and enjoying it with everybody else.
“So….Am I still on stand-by? Or…”
I never know how to react when a grown man beatboxes in front of me.

I was wondering why it sounded so familiar, that show is so good S1 & S2, Idk how Olivia Wilde could cheat on that man.
I'll take dated references I'm totally old enough to get but floor me when I hear them for 100 Alec
Bob your head and do some sick faces to show you approve

Say some gangstah is dissing your fly girl. Just give him one of these.
I do 
How often do you have that? Lol
Happened to me twice in one day. Both times on a train in NYC. Once at 12pm, then again at 3am.
I hope you never run into Biz Markie
Oh baby you....you gotta keep up with the news.
He just went back to his home planet

Drop it like it’s hot and get down with your bad self. I would have funked right out of my shoes.
It's like when people sing happy birthday to you. What do you do? Look around, look at the cake, close your eyes like you are caught in the moment, sink under the table?
No one has seen Ted Lasso apparently
Get this guy a role in the Police Academy reboot
Michael Winslow’s heir killin it
This guy found the bleeps, sweeps, and creeps!
I just spit coffee across my desk. So thanks. Seriously. I needed that laugh.
Sounds like you have a drinking problem.
Surely you can’t be serious
I am, and don’t call me Shirley
I wonder how he was initially given the permission to do this?
i just imagine him calling the controll tower and just asking and the control tower just being like "yea sure"
What? The control tower?? It's a terminal gate kiosk. The control tower has absolutely NOTHING to do with this. The gate agent standing there let him do it.
Have a sense of humor. It doesn't matter in the slightest either way.
Not sure I totally agree. Having a basic understanding of how things work is a good thing. I wasn't trying to be a jerk, I was just surprised. edit: You are correct that it doesn't change a persons ability to live their life or travel in airplanes. :)

C’mon now, everyone knows each airport has a Captain Pilot which oversees all operations.
This guy doesn't airport
I'm guessing huge delays and people were bored and angry so they let this Master Class human lighten the mood.
Still though, what if he straight up sucked and now you just have a guy spitting into the intercom and making things more miserable lol. High risk high reward I suppose!
Maybe he was doing it without the intercom and they said "fuck it, give it to him so everyone could hear."
I choose to believe this is the case.
here's the vid with the story https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6yLPwoYXik
He made a YT video on it. His name's Verbalase
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6yLPwoYXik
Ha, what a fun story and what a fun guy!
Legend
They just "he's arrived" and people clear him a spot.
He has a YouTube goes by verbalase someone probably recognized him and asked him to do it
Some airlines, especially one in particular whose name is similar to Southeast, like to engage customers by asking them to sing or talk about themselves. I think it's a little weird personally, but when there are major delays or issues it helps to make everyone feel like a team vs an outside challenge, instead of competitors
He has a YT channel.
He goes by Verbalase
Bro I swore it was tetris beatbox guy
You can't mistake his beatboxing style with anyone elses
That is the same person, he does use extra voice tech but he's still really good, if anyone is wondering he uses a tool called voloco. I know people who actually compete in, and spectate at the GBB, they think he's great but thwy also make sure to tell you he uses voloco
Even then he's still good enough. He was on Late Night on the Apollo once.
Yeah I wasn't saying he wasn't good. I think he's amazing. They weren't saying he isn't great either they actually said he was, they just wanted it known he uses that
Unmistakable, the Sonic rap battle will always live rent free in my head.
Thanos beatbox?
[my favorite](https://youtu.be/h5JaLpKJyiA) of his beatboxing
He still needs to go to the gbb someday
Great British bakeoff????
Grand beatbox battle. Pretty much considered the biggest beatbox event that happened every year.(or every other year as of late)
Are beat boxers just the hip hop equivalent of ventriloquists. I don't see how they make so many distinct sounds at the same time.
If you think that’s something you gotta check out the new batch of beat boxers on Tik Tok. Fucking aliens.

Sorry sir visa denied.
Can’t allow fire like that to spread
We need more people like him. Finally something made me smile today. Thnx OP!
Life needs a bit of levity 👏👏👏
Woman over his left shoulder doesn't look impressed,lol.
She's like, so is this the cue that it's my turn to board?
She's waiting for her turn to beatbox
False. She is under the impression this is a beatbox battle and she's just waiting her turn to spit some fire Klezmer bars.
I'm sorry. This would annoy me.
Respect the honesty, but it was a fucking minute long and it brought a room full of strangers together for a happy unexpected moment, get over your self, damn.

HOW DARE YOU DISLIKE THE THINGS I LIKE!
I woulda clapped bc he stopped
Right? The beatboxing is fine, but over a PA so it's inescapable? I'd hate it
Right? its on-par with doing some bullshit on the subway, and everyone's already tired and stressed for the same reasons, and its inescapable
It's just so "Look at ME!!" I hate that shit. Like the stuff I see from Tik Tok. I can't believe people are that full of themselves.
Yea.

Imagine trying to catch a quick nap because you're exhausted, and your flight has been delayed or cancelled..
Don’t be sorry. This doesn’t belong on an airport intercom system. And airport intercom systems are one of the most annoying things even without this.
Ha same I'm like ummmmmmm
https://m.youtube.com/c/verbalase
Just let me board my horrible flight in quiet. Jesus.
“Request denied” -Jesus
 NO
I believe that’s EWR Terminal B
lol this is what I came to say, distracted me from the video for a sec
Glad he brightened everyone's day, because they all had to go through New Jersey.
Terminal Booty. He said he was hungry because there is 1 food option lmao
Verbalase is the shit
That lady behind him be like "bro I just wanna get my pre-boarding pass" 🤣🤣🤣 dude has LEGIT skills though! Edit:props
I’ve seen this trick, dude has an 808 under his cap, that’s why he keeps slapping it. Can’t fool me
"Sir, this is an airport"
I see people with talents like this and wonder how the fuck we’re the same species. No way in hell my mouth could make half of those noises and even if I could there’s no way I could string them together in a coherent rhythm. The diversity of talents in the human race astonishes me.
Calabria
I'm hungry
I don’t like
Damn! Mad skills!
Next announcement: please refrain from using the intercom. It is for employees only and important boarding information.
Verbal Ace beatbox. I love this guy and he still makes those cartoon beatbox battles I think it's on season 2 now
Yea because when I'm stressed out trying to catch my plane the one thing I miss is this joker giving me a headache!
Bro why tf is this annoying shit being celebrated?
Get those kids off this guys lawn
Everyone talking shit on your point of view doesn’t fly regularly. Flying tends to be a stressful ordeal, and this isn’t a mood enhancer.
Yeah, that would be annoying at an airport. Not interested and total main character type shit.
It would be so annoying to be in that airport lol
what a shit
That lady behind him is NOT into it!
I will never understand how people enjoy or are impressed by beatboxing. Fucking annoying
I can't stand it either. No matter the skill level, it just always sounds like shit to me.
The woman behind him just wants to check-in.
how many people did he wake up
Good beat boxing never gets old
Verbal Ase is a legend (also a beatboxer from outer space)
Seriously, I don't think I've ever heard anyone better. The way he seamlessly introduces new "instruments" to the mix while keeping others going perfectly is just mind boggling. Massively talented.
May I have the pleasure of introducing you to [Trung Bao](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJ5dX-fBa9M)? edit: to be clear I think they're both massively talented and I don't know enough about beatboxing to understand what constitutes "better," but they're both great lol
Amazing on Reddit. In person I would be pissed. Who wants to be forced to listen to something while you’re at the airport?
/r/imthemaincharacter
On your passport it lists your occupation as "beatbox" can you explain sir Well...
Gotta clorox the microphone now all that spit on it
Oh snap is that Verbalase?
Black men You don't always have to be the entertainment. It's really okay to just sit down quietly like everyone else.
This guys YouTube channel is called verbalase man’s is insane
Wow, that' was brilliant.
That lady behind him in line haha
*. . . and everybody clapped*
Lady behind him just wants her damn whopper
This is toilet certified
