People are applauding one Amazon worker for delivering some delightful comedy along with some packages.
Erin Noyes, an artist who creates the most adorable miniature unicorn sculptures, shared the delightful moment her delivery guy decided to have some fun with the doorbell camera.
The footage, pasted to Noyes’ TikTok page, shows the doorbell sounding off an automated “you’re currently being recorded.”
Without missing a beat, the worker quips, “Hi, I currently don’t care!” and it only gets better from there.
The man then flexes his arms toward the camera, and with full bravado yells “BECAUSE I’M AMAZON” like he’s making a WWE debut.
“Fedex don’t look like this! Fedex ain’t built like this!” he continues, showing off the guns once more before taking off.
“I was simply expecting some art supplies for my art business, and instead, I was delivered SO much more,” Noyes wrote in her video’s caption.
Viewers were equally in love with the video, which has racked up nearly 26 million views.
“This needs to be an Amazon commercial,” one person petitioned.
Another wrote, “You ordered the entertaining package,” to which Noyes replied, “I need to figure out how to order it again.”
Probably no one comes face to face with doorbell cams as much as delivery workers, so it makes sense that a few have learned to incorporate them into their routine. Back in 2022, another Amazon driver used it to alert a house that it had no visible address markers, which could have been a serious safety concern.
Of course, doorbell cameras have caught all kinds of candid moments—not just those from delivery drivers. People have used them to share heartfelt advice, give lighthearted pregnancy updates to neighbors, show what default parenting looks like on a regular basis, and so much more. This might not have been the technology’s original purpose, but it sure is a wholesome perk, and one that’s bound to keep on coming.
Americans have a style and personality all their own, which isn’t a bad thing. It’s just noticeable when they travel aboard. Americans often stand out because of their outgoing personalities. They are friendly and enjoy having casual conversations with strangers.
This is an endearing trait to a lot of people in more reserved cultures, although it can also come off as a little brash.
An American characteristic that isn’t quite endearing to people in other countries is that they can be rather loud. In Europe, one can always notice the Americans in the restaurant because they can be heard from across the room.
A Reddit user named Frosty-Ad3575 wanted to know the specific ways that Americans stand out when traveling abroad, so they asked the AskReddit subforum: “What’s an obvious sign that someone is an American?”
The post was popular, receiving nearly 6,000 responses in just 6 days. The most popular ones described how Americans’ unique personalities, style of dress, dental hygiene and body language make them easy to spot.
Here are 14 “obvious” signs that someone is an American.
1. Posture
“Apparently, the CIA trains American agents to not lean on things if they go undercover in foreign countries because Americans lean on anything they can while standing around.” — Clown1998
“I bet MI6 trains British agents to lean on everything if they go undercover in America because Americans lean on anything they can while standing around.” — KingoftheMongoose
2. The date
“MMDDYYYY.” — LowRevolution6175
3. Distances are different
“Anything under 4 hours is ‘close by.'” — Grey-Canary
“Everything in Europe is around the corner if you’re from the US. I can drive the whole day and not leave my state, but in Europe, I can pass through 4 countries in that same time frame.” — JayHitter
4. They’re polite to servers
“In the touristy cafe-restaurant I worked at:
If they asked me for the nicest spot we had
If they asked me my recommendation without seeing the menu first
I would walk to the table, and they would say right away ‘hey, how are you doing?’ This one threw me off a lot at first. Why is this person asking me how I’m doing?? I’m just there to take the order. I got used to it, and I think they found my awkwardness cute.
They would ask my name when I greeted them and took their order.
I’m Northern European.” — Muc_99
“It’s under-appreciated just how polite, friendly, and sincere Americans are in general. It blew my mind the first time I came to the US, and I love that my children are growing up with those same values.” — Irishweather5000
5. The water bottles
“I was told, ‘Americans carry water bottles around like they’re worried they’ll never have access to clean water ever again.'” — Kosher_Dill
“I don’t care what anyone says. If you think carrying a water bottle when walking a lot is weird, you’re probably slightly dehydrated all the time and are just desensitized to it. You seriously need to drink water frequently if you want to be ideally healthy.” — Tan11
6. Smiling
“I was in Germany this past summer, and I realized smiling at everyone you make eye contact with is very American. When I went to London on the same trip, they seemed less weirded out by it but would awkwardly return the smile. I was taught to always start with a disarming smile. Never realized it was American.” — 12ozFitz
7. “More ice, please.”
“I spent a year in Europe completely iceless to the point I forgot that was a thing. I stopped at a bar in Chicago fresh off the plane and not only did I get free tap water, but water with ice. I instantly felt at home.” — Outside-Crezz8119
8. Personal space
“As an American man, I’ve been told repeatedly by European and Asian friends that we simply take up space (not by being fat) as though we’re entitled to it. Men in other countries apparently don’t claim the same personal space we do.” — Potomacan
9. White teeth
“It’s even more bizarre that they assume we have braces or bleach our teeth because they’re straight and white. I have naturally straight white teeth. I brush them twice a day so they stay white. I don’t do anything special to them, but I remember being in London and some similar-aged students literally making fun of me for my teeth… it’s true that they don’t naturally look like headstones in an ancient graveyard, but there’s no need to make fun.” — DPretilloZbornak
10. Casual dress
“My friend went to Germany recently, and what people said about Americans is you can spot them a mile away because they’re the ones wearing pajamas in public. Apparently, in other countries, at least Germany, they dress a little more formally and in less baggy clothes than we do in America.” — MarcusWahlbezius
11. Baseball hats
“Baseball cap… even on an infant riding in a pram.” — SyntheticOne
12. Shoes
“Americans are shoe snobs (they don’t think they are, but they are). Setting aside wealthier business types, Americans generally wear more on-brand, on-trend, high-quality shoes than others.” — Mouflony
13. They’re loud
“That was my first thought. Americans yell at each other in normal conversation in public. I noticed it years ago in Europe, and now I can’t stand it in the US.” — SucccotashOther277
14. Occupation matters
“Immediately asking someone what they do for a living when meeting them. Our jobs and work are our entire identity.” — Bealzu
“I hate that about American culture. I’m an American and recently became a SAHM, so I don’t have an answer to ‘What do you do for a living?’ Half the time, I add the caveat, ‘Oh, my last job was with Apple,’ so that I’m not written off as an unemployed ‘loser.’ But it really is dumb to determine a person’s worth by what they do in order to afford food and shelter.” — WassupSassySasquatch

The Stranger Things kids have grown up before our eyes. Millie Bobby Brown is married, Finn Wolfhard is approximately nine-feet tall, and Sadie Sink is hanging out with Taylor Swift. Then there’s Gaten Matarazzo, who was Broadway-famous before he became Netflix-famous on Stranger Things. But even his extra time in the spotlight couldn’t prepare him for one encounter with a fan.
“I did one very recently — and this is not very funny, but the reactions around it were quite funny — where this woman in her 40s said straight up, ‘I’ve had a crush on you since you were 13.’ And I was like, ‘That’s upsetting.’ I’m sure she just meant, ‘Aw, this kid’s cute.’ But then she doubled down,” he said on the Inside of You podcast, according to Variety.
The mom told Matarazzo that she is “aware of the age difference,” which is an extra weird thing to say because her daughter was there, too. Her reaction to the flirting (?): “Mom, what the f*ck?” She was right to say it.
This wasn’t an isolated incident, either.
He said he’s taken photos with fans and “I’ve had a few butt grabs for sure.” He’s now 21 years old and in production on the fifth and final season of Stranger Things, one of the biggest shows on Netflix.
No wonder celebrities are destroying the planet with their private planes: us regular folks make it weird.

Endless permutations of workplace comedies exist with some so successful that they are spawning spin offs and others feeling like grating copycat versions of hits that came before. A different type of workplace comedy, however, has busted onto the current Netflix Top 10 TV show list, which is otherwise filled with Bridgerton seasons (including the Queen Charlotte spin off), Baby Reindeer, and the Ashley Madison docuseries that features a “surprise” pregnancy test from an unflushed toilet and Frozen tunes.
It’s crowded roster, but Tires, an auto-repair-based workplace comedy starring and co-created by Shane Gillis, is already scooting up that list after a May 23 release. That’s counterprogramming at work, and Netflix must have felt those vibes coming.
Will There Be A ‘Tires’ Season 2 On Netflix?
Fortunately, 3.8 million views did appear on the aforementioned Netflix list to justify this next tidbit.
A few days ahead of the show’s release, Variety reported that a second season had already been greenlit. So, expect to see more of the series in which Gillis (whose character is also named Shane) portrays a cousin, coworker, and thorn in the side of Will (Steven Gerben), who has inherited his father’s auto-repair business and is struggling to make it work.
When will Season 2 arrive, exactly? Netflix hasn’t divulged that information, but at least viewers know that more is on the way.
Beabadoobee is gearing up for her biggest era yet. This summer, the indie-pop sensation is dropping her third album This Is How Tomorrow Moves. In support of the album, Bea has announced a North American tour.
After playing a series of shows and festivals this summer, Bea will take to North America for a multi-city tour, during which, she will be supported by indie duo Hovvdy.
A pre-sale for Bea’s upcoming tour will begin this Friday (May 31). General on-sale will begin a week after (June 6). Fans can register for presale and purchase tickets from Beabadoobee’s official website.

On the last episode of Welcome to Wrexham, fans were given a special sneak peek at some totally non-Wrexham related: the upcoming Deadpool installment. Ryan Reynolds is obviously continuing his quest to get all of his friends to join him on screen lately.
There are just three episodes left in the third season, as the two famous owners scramble to help motivate the team as they are promoted to EFL League Two for the first time in 15 years. No spoilers, but if they manage to play well, the team will advance further just in time for season four! After Ryan is done with all that Deadpool stuff.
Episode six, titled “Far Away, So Close,” will air on FX on Thursday, May 30th at 10 pm. The episode also airs again an hour later at 11 pm. Like previously episodes, it will debut on Hulu and Disney+ the next day, Friday, May 31st by 3 am ET. It’s a perfect way to ring in June!
Here is the official synopsis, per Hulu: “Wrexham’s global impact can be felt as far away as Patagonia and The Gambia but the team can’t seem to win away from the Racecourse.”
You can stream previous episodes of Welcome To Wrexham now on Disney+ and Hulu. And Deadpool is also on Disney+, in case you forgot.
Eric Slick is a madman, and I mean that as the highest form of praise I can fathom. From his interview answers alone, you can glean the overall atmosphere of his latest solo record, New Age Rage. The Dr. Dog drummer, songwriter, and producer has indulged his most preposterous impulses to create an album steeped in psych-rock, ‘80s stadium pop, and delirious disco.
But even amid the unabashed bonkers-ness and bananas-ness of it all, there’s a scintillating glint of earnestness there. Across its 10 tracks, Slick explores the pitfalls of perfectionism, the comforts of time spent with the people you love, and the perils of people-pleasing. It’s all coated in a neon glaze of funky grooves and luxe synthesizers. Welcome to the new age rage, everyone.
Following the record’s release in late April, Eric Slick sat down with Uproxx to talk about Sarah Sherman, Pizza Hut, and getting the Dr. Dog logo tattooed on his leg in our latest Q&A.
What are four words you would use to describe your music?
Zesty, roasty, Flavortown, profane.
It’s 2050 and the world hasn’t ended and people are still listening to your music. How would you like it to be remembered?
I’d like to think that people will still be listening to it and that they’ll hear the joy in it. I truly love making music more than anything in the world. Sadly, what’s more likely is that people will be listening to Enron Sluck – an AI repo-baby who only sings about salsa filled diapers and the Illuminati. Can’t really beat a pyramid scheme.
Who’s the person who has most inspired your work, and why?
Mark Mothersbaugh. DEVO altered my brain in a way that I’ve never fully recovered from and I’m fine with that. I also went to see his art exhibit Myopia 3 times in two different cities. Plus, y’know, Pee Wee’s Playhouse. The list goes on.
Where did you eat the best meal of your life and what was it?
I had an all timer meal in Ferrera, Italy with Kevin Morby. It was a seared branzino. Second place goes to the vegan cheesesteak (with rutabaga cheese whiz?!) at Wiz Kidz. Natalie watched me cry.
Tell us about the best concert you’ve ever attended.
Dirty Projectors at First Unitarian Church with Vieux Farka Toure and Skeletons. Everything felt possible. Iggy Pop once said that great performances feel like flight and I think everyone at the show was flying.
What song never fails to make you emotional?
“Pure Imagination” from the Willy Wonka Soundtrack. There’s something about that melody/chord progression that burrows into my subcutaneous layer. I guess what I’m saying is if you’re sick in the head, you can put on that song to make me cry on command. That’s not very nice.
What’s the last thing you Googled?
“Is removing the back row of seats from a rental van illegal?”
Where’s the weirdest place you’ve ever crashed while on tour?
Oof. Let’s just say it was at the house of a super fan. The night was already going horribly. I was so exhausted. The front of house engineer yelled at me for accidentally putting my amp down on one of his precious XLR cables. After I was done, I cried on a dumpster outside of the venue and then walked a few miles to emotionally eat a Pan Pizza from – you guessed it – Pizza Hut. Not even a good Pizza Hut, it was like a Pizza Hut kiosk in a strip mall. Anyway, I was not aware of the super fandom until I got to the house. They were playing my music on the stereo as I entered the house. I made my band leave after 3 hours of non-sleep because we needed an “oil change”.
What’s your favorite city in the world to perform and what’s the city you hope to perform in for the first time?
I absolutely love playing shows in Chicago. There’s something really special about the attentiveness/rowdiness of the crowd. I’d love to perform anywhere in Japan or South America, specifically Brazil. I have a deep love for Brazilian music and I think they might get what I’m doing.
What’s one piece of advice you’d go back in time to give to your 18-year-old self?
Don’t buy a pack of cigarettes the day you turn 18 just because you think it’s what you’re supposed to do. I tried smoking for one month and my friend Rachel saw me smoke a cigarette and she said, “Are you trying to smoke?” And then I realized that I am one of the few people who looks extremely uncool doing just about anything. One time I was growing a beard and my barber said “Are you trying to grow a beard?”. It devastated me.
What’s one of your hidden talents?
My Bill Callahan impersonation. I guess that’s not so hidden. I am really good at ice skating.
If you had a million dollars to donate to charity, what cause would you support and why?
I would donate to Creative Growth in Oakland. I watched a short PBS documentary about their program and I sobbed uncontrollably the whole time. They’re a non profit that showcases artworks from people with developmental disabilities. The work that they’re doing astounds me.
What are your thoughts about AI and the future of music?
Look, Enron Sluck is going to top the charts. I don’t make the rules.
You are throwing a music festival. Give us the dream lineup of 5 artists that will perform with you and the location it would be held.
Björk, Robert Wyatt, BOREDOMS, P-Funk, and Sun Ra Arkestra. It would be in Philadelphia.
Who’s your favorite person to follow on social media?
I love Sarah Sherman because she’s fucking hilarious but clearly a visionary. I don’t think we have a chance at survival if we lose our sense of humor.
What’s the story behind your first or favorite tattoo?
Jesus Christ, you are gonna make me tell this story? I was having a rough year in 2015. I thought it would be a good idea to get the Dr. Dog logo tattooed on my leg. I was super anti-tattoo my entire life, like I’m some goddamn body purity weirdo, I thought it would be good to challenge my stubbornness and get a tat. The entire band was gonna come with me and potentially get the band logo tat as well. We played a sold out show at Stubbs in Austin and I ran offstage to go do the deed. No one from the band came with me to the parlor. The crew guys felt bad and started showing up one by one to hold my hand as I wriggled in pain. The Black Sabbath song “Fairies Wear Boots” played in the background while I was getting inked and it ended as soon as my tattoo was finished. I didn’t show anyone for 2 years and usually kept it hidden – until one Christmas my mom shrieked at me and said, “WHAT THE F*CK IS THAT?” and pointed at my leg. I was wearing sleep shorts and forgot to cover the tattoo.
What is your pre-show ritual?
Transcendental meditation for 20 mins and then usually some kind of caffeine.
Who was your first celebrity crush?
I know I’m not supposed to say Jessica Rabbit.
You have a month off and the resources to take a dream vacation. Where are you going and who is coming with you?
Natalie (duh) and we are going to freakin’ Japan bay-bee.
What is your biggest fear?
To be late for something important, especially during my album cycle.
New Age Rage is out now via Slick Records. Find more information here.
Camila Cabello’s upcoming album C, XOXO is now just a month away, as it’s set to drop at the end of June. As Cabello reveals in a new Billboard interview, the project should please Drake fans.
Cabello revealed that she and Drake were spotted in those much-discussed vacation photos because they were finishing a track together. She also divulged that she first reached out to Drake via Instagram DMs, saying, “He’s the f*cking GOAT, so it felt like shooting for the stars. I showed him the album when I felt comfortable enough and he really liked it. [The feature] came out of a non-transactional place. He had this idea of a song called ‘Hot Uptown,’ and it just felt like I was in the city. I was in Miami.”
With a new look, new music and “big baddie energy,” @Camila_Cabello is reinventing herself
Billboard describes the song as a “flirtatious, Caribbean-infused track.” It turns out the song isn’t only Drake’s appearance on the album, as he sings on the near-two-minute interlude “Uuugly” that immediately follows. Calvin Harris says the track was Drake’s idea, saying, “He wanted to do one more thing for the album.”
Cabello added, “Why does he have his own song? Because selfishly, I just want to hear Drake on my own album [laughs]. I love that for me — it’s like that rebellious mood. Who says I can’t do that? It’s Drake talking his sh*t.”
C, XOXO is out 6/28 via Geffen/Interscope. Find more information here.
