About
TooTurntTony, or Anthony Dawson is an American social media influencer, model, wildlife conservation advocate and content creator known best for his TikTok content, including comedy and social experiment videos featuring his family, other collaborators and domesticated pet ducks. In July 2023, TooTurnTony made a post claiming he would be on ABC's The Bachelor in 2024, although the claim was assumed to be a joke by some, with ABC not confirming Dawson as the bachelor in the days following the post.

On October 1st, Dawson began posting a series of videos to TikTok[8] known as the "3 days of Dahmer" prank, where he acts like Jeffrey Dahmer around his mother for three days as a prank, inspired by how scared his mother is of the Dahmer Netflix series.

The final video, uploaded to TikTok[9] on October 5th, garnered over 26 million views in the same rough span of time (shown below, right). On October 5th, Yahoo![10] reported on the series.
