About

I Want to Shake Your Hand is the title of a viral video featuring a man with white hair harassing two passengers on a plane while shouting, "I want to shake your hand" as the plane's crew holds him back.

Origin

On February 10th, 2019, a flight from Moscow to New York passenger Nikita Groz recorded a video of a man with white hair accosting two passengers in the aisle showing "I'm going to shake your hand. I want to shake your hand." Authorities pulled the man from the flight and arrested him.

On February 14th, 2019, Nikita Groz, under the YouTube handle avak, shared the video "I WANT TO SHAKE YOUR HAND." The post received more than 1.9 million views in about 13 months (shown below).

Spread

The following day, the YouTuber, under the Reddit handle Av4k shared the video in the /r/publicfreakout subreddit.[1]

The video has since inspired a series of video remixes. For example, on October 25th, 2019, YouTuber mariomann784 published a mock movie trailer based on the video. The post received more than 19,000 views in less than one year (shown below, left). Throughout the year, others shared new versions of the video, manipulating the video's audio and visuals (example below, right).

Several media outlets covered the video, including BroBible,[2] Daily Mail[3] Yahoo,[4] The Mirror[5] and more.

Later that year, on December 9th, avak shared an "extended edition" of the video. The post received more than 2.4 million views (shown below).
