# P1ZZ4 GUY In Spider-Man 2 (2004), Donnell Rawlings plays a street onlooker who sees Peter Parker leap off in costume and yells 'WHOA! He stole that guy's PIZZA!' YTMND user BTape clipped the moment in January 2007, and within months more than 300 l33tspeak-titled parody sites turned the soundbite into one of the site's defining 2007 fads. ## Origin The scene comes from Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2 (2004), where Peter Parker, late with a pizza delivery, ducks into a side alley to change into his Spider-Man suit. Comedian Donnell Rawlings plays the bystander who watches Spider-Man leap away with the pizza boxes and yells 'WHOA! He stole that guy's PIZZA!'[1]. YTMND user BTape uploaded the first P1ZZ4 GUY site in January 2007, isolating the Rawlings soundbite into a looping clip with a l33tspeak title[3]. Later copies retained the same l33tspeak format in their titles and descriptions[2]. - **Platform:** YTMND - **Creator:** BTape (YTMND user) - **Date:** 2007 ## Overview P1ZZ4 GUY sites follow a loose YTMND template: Rawlings' confused shout loops over a still image from the film, often with his face edited into other movie and TV scenes[1]. Titles and descriptions appear in l33tspeak, so a tagline like 'That pizza is for display purposes only, sir' reads as 'TH4T P1ZZ4 1S F0R D1SPL4Y PURP0S3S 0NLY S1R' on the sites[2]. Rawlings' original line comes from Sam Raimi's 2004 film[1], but many derivatives move it out of Spider-Man and into other franchises. Parody sites recast the pizza theft inside other movies, with titles like 'P1ZZ4 GUY B3G1N5' (Batman Begins) and '5ET PH453R5 2 P1ZZ4' (Star Trek)[2]. The joke rarely needs a setup, since viewers who know the Spider-Man 2 scene can hear the audio and recognize the punchline. ## How to Use YTMND creators typically take the Rawlings 'He stole that guy's PIZZA!' line and loop it against an image from another film or show, giving the site a l33tspeak title and description. Common examples use the original Spider-Man still, or edit Rawlings' face into a different scene for the visual gag. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is P1ZZ4 GUY?
