Angry Soccer Fan (Tano Pasman)
Published October 22, 2026
Tano Pasman, an Argentine soccer fan, was recorded by his family on June 28, 2011, screaming vulgar curses at his TV as River Plate suffered its first-ever relegation to the second division. The home video went up on YouTube on July 8 and hit over 7 million views in three weeks, spawning a YouTube dub fad that pasted his tirade over the deaths of Mufasa and Michael Jackson.
Overview
Pasman's clip runs about seven minutes of cathartic rage filmed by relatives in his living room. He paces, slaps a chair, hurls insults such as "la puta que te parió" at the players on screen, and veers between prayer and screaming as Belgrano holds River Plate to a draw1. Comedy sits in the gap between an ordinary older man in a polo shirt and the operatic intensity of his cursing2.
Remixers extracted individual outbursts and matched them to famously sad or shocking scenes from other media. The format works much like Rage Guy comics, in which a situation drives the subject into a tantrum3. Edits dub his audio over Mufasa's fall in The Lion King4 or news bulletins announcing Michael Jackson's death5, so viewers hear Pasman mourning fictional lions and pop stars with the venom he reserved for River Plate.

Creators typically cut a short burst of Pasman's shouting and overlay it onto a sad or shocking moment from another video, so a character's death scene plays while Pasman screams about River Plate3.
