For infamous YouTuber Jake Paul, it's everyday no longer, bro.

After releasing another one of his, frankly, hilarious prank videos on YouTube, on August 1st, viewers picked up on a moment when Paul seems to say some pretty weird stuff to a fan on the streets. In his latest masterpiece entitled "SELF DRIVING TESLA IN DRIVE THRU PRANK (FREAKOUTS)," in which our hero drives a self-driving car through a drive thru to "freak people out," a young fan approaches his car for a picture. That's when things go south.

Paul notices the fan's accent and asks where he's from. The fan replies, "Kazakhstan." To which Paul quips, "It sounds like you're just gonna blow someone up." Doubling down on that thought, as is Paul's won't, he says, "Send the nuke," which he treats as a reference to something that everyone should get.

The video, which has been viewed more than 5.5 million times in just three days has become the subject of a controversy on Twitter. Within hours of the video hitting the web, the hashtag #JakePaulIsOverParty started trending. Tweets poured in with people deriding Paul for this and other past transgressions.

Meanwhile, as many online have not been impressed with Jake Paul's antics over the past few weeks. They were happy to show up at the Jake Paul is Over Party, and they're bringing cake.





Much like the PewDiePie is over party last year, Jake Paul has been getting the old torched and pitchforks routine from Twitter, who didn't like the joke. They started posting old tweets in which Paul brazenly used racist and homophobic language.

A series of tweets from YouTuber Jake shared on Twitter.

Just in case you've avoided this Jake Paul thing over the last month, here's a quick recap. A local Los Angeles news team reported that Paul was performing stunts in his west-Hollywood residence, terrorizing the neighborhood, leading to the threat of a class-action lawsuit. The clip ended with Paul laughing and dabbing into the sunset, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake.

The report went viral, both introducing people to the YouTuber and turning him off to them. This also turned his employer, The Disney Channel off. About a week after the clip hit the web, Disney announced that Paul would be leaving his Disney Channel show Bizardvaark.

Now he's on the loose, doing cool stunts like driving self-driving cars and doing problematic impressions of his fans. Another strange day in the book of Paul.
