Bullshit Man[]

The bullshit man

James Rolfe as the Bullshit Man.

The protagonist of this series is eventually revealed to be an unnamed person simply called the Bullshit Man. He constantly rants on the complete idiocy, unfairness, and bullshit in his everyday life, and is portrayed by James Rolfe. Though originally appearing off screen, the Bullshit Man revealed in Episode 13, that his face is literally and ironically a pile of bullshit. He stated he used to look like an average man, but his face slowly degenerated into what it is now thanks to the infinite amount of bullshit he is constantly exposed to. After his exposure, he usually talks directly to the audience with his crappy looking face instead of solely in voiceover. He dons a tan Denim jacket overlapping a white T-shirt and torn jeans.

Notably, the Bullshit Man made a cameo appearance in Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie. His image was on a TV screen in Las Vegas.

Trivia[]

  • The second episode, his rant on pennies was featured on CNN, but all the swear words in the CNN broadcast were censored. You can watch a recording Here
  • In episode 38, the intro is changed to "You know what's BS?!". He claims he "can't say that word in the beginning of the videos anymore" (this is in reference to YouTube's algorithms, which stops sending videos to people's Recommended Videos feeds if the video contains swearing too quickly after the video starts). He says it anyway at the end. When the series returned in 2024, likely due to relaxed swearing rules, the full title was reinstated, although the title and description still use the abbreviated name.
  • "Penguin Movies" is the shortest You Know What's Bullshit? episode, running in at only 50 seconds.
  • In the episode "Pay Toilets", the illustration of the pay toilet at the beginning has "toilet" misspelled as "toliet" on the door.
  • There is a glitch at the beginning of "Temperature" where a black screen is briefly displayed during the appearance of the second "You Know What's Bullshit?" card.
  • The voice clip of James Rolfe saying "You know what's BUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLSHIT?!" in "Pay Toilets" would later be reused in "DVD & Blu-ray Cases".
