Renowned YouTube prankster Ed Bassmaster recently went into Central Park in New York City and dressed himself as the famed Bush Man, scaring various unsuspecting New Yorkers.
Bassmaster is a YouTuber from Philadelphia who makes various humorous videos that involve him carrying out funny pranks on strangers. His latest video has him wearing a costume based on a character from the World Famous Bushman in San Francisco. The costume is easily disguised once worn against a leafy bush or heavily wooded area.
Unsuspecting strangers were pleasantly -- and not-so-pleasantly -- surprised once Bassmaster would jump out at them, often spouting random phrases or starting up conversations. I do, however, wish he had taken it to the next level and actually got some people to cry out of fear.
