  • - Hello everyone, my name is Joe Platonic.

  • Or as most people know me, the Tigger King. (chuckles)

  • What makes me so unique is that most people,

  • I'm their favorite Winnie the Pooh character

  • when they're a child,

  • but I didn't even know what a Winnie the Pooh character was

  • until I went and saw that motion picture,

  • "Christopher Robin."

  • In that movie is that sweet little Tigger fella

  • and I have to tell ya, I fell in love.

  • First moment I saw that little rascal on camera,

  • you know, I just, I was in, I was all in.

  • (upbeat music)

  • Yeah, so this is basically where I shoot

  • the Joe Platonic TV show.

  • This one is my first Tigger that I ever bought.

  • Very proud of it.

  • It smells like cat (beep)

  • because I bought it from a lady on Ebay.

  • The bobble head's pretty fun.

  • Look at that.

  • (plastic clacks)

  • I love to show off my collection to my friends.

  • They see it and they're like, "Whoa!

  • "That's crazy, man!" (chuckles)

  • - Man, I wish I could do something cool like that.

  • Collecting Tiggers?

  • Man, that's, that's brave, you know?

  • That takes a warrior spirit, you know what I mean?

  • I'd pay $11 to see something cool like that.

  • (beep) I'd pay upwards of 12, man.

  • - Of course you can't collect this massive amount of Tiggers

  • without creating a few enemies.

  • - Hi there, I'm Carole Baskets

  • I love Winnie the Pooh and I bet you can guess

  • which character is my favorite.

  • Piglet is obviously the best character on the show.

  • Subtle, smart, very cute.

  • We have a lot in common.

  • - Carole Baskets!

  • She's a thorn in my side!

  • She's a black fly in my Chardonnay!

  • She's a death row pardon just a little too late.

  • - [Interviewer] Isn't it ironic?

  • - No, it isn't ironic!

  • She's a (beep) (beep) who always gets in my way

  • and accuses me of things I ain't do!

  • - I'll say this, what kind of a monster collects memorabilia

  • and takes 'em out of the packaging?

  • It's inhumane!

  • Joe Platonic is hurting those Tiggers, and for what?

  • Some likes on a YouTube video?

  • Disgusting.

  • Now I know what you're saying.

  • Carole, how come you have memorabilia out of the packaging?

  • Well I'll tell you what, these are my rescues.

  • Found those two at a garage sale in San Luis Obispo.

  • They could've been torn to shreds

  • by some four-year-old, but no.

  • I scooped 'em up, now I take good care of 'em.

  • Instead of parading 'em around

  • like a little pet in a little TV show.

  • - Welcome back to Joe Platonic TV,

  • the number one Tigger source.

  • Today we're doing a very special unboxing.

  • We got a special limited edition Tigger.

  • Oh wow, she's a beauty.

  • Watch out, she might getcha! (chuckles)

  • It's not that easy to come across these guys right here.

  • They were discontinued after a large dog choked on one.

  • Scar, brother, help me!

  • Long live the king.

  • No!

  • Huh.

  • Say hello to my little friend.

  • - I could watch Joe's show all day everyday, man.

  • Hell, I fall asleep to it every night.

  • Makes me feel like Joe's in the room with me

  • petting my head, lulling me to sleep, you know?

  • It's cool, man.

  • Sometimes I get jealous of those Tiggers.

  • I wish Joe would play with me like that, you know?

  • - [Interviewer] And what do you think

  • about Carole Baskets show?

  • - (scoffs) I got two words for you, man.

  • It is so (beep) stupid and dumb.

  • - Hi there pretty pigs and piglets.

  • It's Carole Baskets with another video.

  • I'm here to let you know that it's so cruel

  • what Joe is doing to those Tiggers.

  • You wouldn't do that to a real animal, would you?

  • Let a tiger out of it's cage?

  • Wait, yes you would.

  • You're wrong to keep them in there.

  • Tiggers and tigers should be in boxes, not cages.

  • That doesn't.

  • Tigger, tiger, uh.

  • This isn't coming out right, huh.

  • Okay, now this piece right here

  • is my number one favorite to date.

  • The details on this thing are exquisite.

  • I mean if I took it out of the box, you'd be amazed.

  • But I won't.

  • But you would be.

  • I paid $2500 for this thing,

  • which is why I will never remove it from the box.

  • - [Interviewer] Then how do you know it's in there?

  • - What do you mean?

  • - [Interviewer] Like if the seller

  • knew you wouldn't open it,

  • they could just mail you a very expensive box.

  • - No, I know.

  • But it's not though.

  • He's in here, Piglet's in here, right?

  • No, he's in here.

  • He's in here.

  • - Yeah, you could say my show's pretty popular.

  • I got 50,000 subscribers on YouTube.

  • - [Interviewer] Okay yeah, sure,

  • but don't most of your videos

  • have between 85 and 95% downvotes?

  • - Yes, apparently it's a show that some people hate watch,

  • but they are watching.

  • Yeah, I try not to read the comments

  • 'cause they say things like,

  • "How is this grown ass man still playing with toys?"

  • "This dude is a straight up ass (beep)."

  • "I hope this guy T-I double goes and jumps off a cliff."

  • It's pretty clever.

  • "Where is Anthony?"

  • I don't get that one.

  • "This dude puts the poo in Winnie the Pooh."

  • Okay, all right.

  • Well that one's probably from Carole.

  • (beep) Carole Baskets.

  • - Yeah, Joe spends a lot of his airtime

  • (beep) on Carole Baskets, man.

  • And I'm not gonna lie, it's my favorite part.

  • His face gets really red.

  • - Carole Baskets.

  • Carole Baskets.

  • Um, Carole Baskets.

  • You know that's gotta be Carole Baskets.

  • Carole (beep) Baskets.

  • Tigger, did Carole Baskets kill her husband?

  • I heard the CIA is tracking Carole Baskets.

  • I know you're watching this.

  • You wanna come over here?

  • You wanna get shot?

  • This is gonna be used against me in the court of law.

  • I don't give two Tigger (beep).

  • I'm gonna find you, Carole Baskets.

  • (beep) you, Carole Baskets.

  • Where if I don't, I'm gonna pay someone

  • to find you and kill you.

  • I'll (beep) kill you one day, Carole Baskets.

  • Come at me, Carol.

  • Try, I dare you, Carole Baskets.

  • - [Interviewer] You talk about her a lot.

  • - Well Carole Baskets is a frickin' lunatic.

  • She's made it her whole goddamn life's mission

  • to ruin my life!

  • Have you seen that website she put up slandering me?

  • - Hoohoohoowoulddothis.com.

  • It's a website all about outing a monster.

  • Did you know that Joe Platonic

  • put a stuffed Tigger into a Tigger mug?

  • How messed up is that?

  • Not only did he ruin a perfectly beautiful stuffed animal,

  • but he ruined the mug too.

  • Double whammy.

  • - [Interviewer] Are you crying?.

  • - It just makes me so mad!

  • You know mugs are meant for Mountain Dew, not Tiggers!

  • - [Interviewer] Tell me about Trevor.

  • - Oh yeah, Trevor's one of my husbands.

  • - [Interviewer] One of?

  • - Yeah, actually I have two, Trevor and Darryl.

  • The three of us met online in a Winnie the Pooh chat group

  • and the three of us fell in love immediately.

  • - [Interviewer] Have you met in real life?

  • - No, but that's what makes our love so special, you know?

  • We met online, we chat online.

  • Hell, we even got married online!

  • But it works for us.

  • - Well, we're only in it for the meth.

  • - [Interviewer] So you're just pretending

  • to be in love with Joe?

  • - Yep, there's only one think we love and that's

  • God. - Meth.

  • - Oh, it's very much the meth, yeah.

  • So, we send him pictures of our feet

  • and then he sends us the meth.

  • - Yeah, it was really hard when we lost Trevor.

  • - [Interviewer] He passed away?

  • - No, he lost his login information,

  • so we can't hang in the Winnie the Pooh chat anymore.

  • Rest in peace, sweet man.

  • (lips smack)

  • - Yeah man, Joe had it all.

  • True king, man.

  • He had everything.

  • Love, Tiggers, a kick ass YouTube show, an impressive bulge.

  • He had, like, sparkly shirts.

  • I don't know where you find that.

  • I think he had to make it.

  • I think he had to go to JOANN Fabric and make that.

  • But it all changed when Joe put a hit out on Carole Baskets.

  • - Allegedly.

  • - He tried to have me killed, the psycho. (slurps water)

  • - It still hasn't been proven in the court of law, okay?

  • - [Interviewer] And when is your court date?

  • - Friday.

  • Oh (beep), that's soon.

  • (suspenseful music)

  • - [Carole] Well, look who slithered

  • into the courtroom like the snake he is.

  • - [Joe] Why don't you take your clever words

  • and shove them up your butt, you butt hole?

  • - [Carole] I am not the butt hole.

  • It is you who is the butt hole, butt hole.

  • - [Joe] If you're not the butt hole,

  • then why do you smell like (beep)?

  • - [Carole] That is Chanel No. 5, you uncultured swine.

  • - [Joe] Swine?

  • You're the one dressed like a pig.

  • - [Carole] (gasp) Piglet is not a pig!

  • He is pig adjacent.

  • - [Bailiff] All rise for the honorable Judge Brown.

  • - [Judge Brown] First witness.

  • - [Prosecutor] Tom Caufield, did Joey Platonic

  • offer you money to kill Carole Baskets?

  • - [Tom] Yeah, he gave me 56 bucks.

  • - [Judge Brown] Guilty.

  • (gavel bangs)

  • (metal clangs)

  • - [Joe] They locked me up for 23 years.

  • 20 for putting out a hit on Carole

  • and three for mailing meth to my sweet,

  • sweet husbands, which I did not do.

  • Well, at the very least,

  • at least my music career is going viral.

  • (relaxed music)

  • ♪ 'Cause I bounce with Tigger

  • And Tigger bounce with me

  • He made me feel bigger

  • And he made me feel free

  • ♪ 'Cause I bounce with Tigger

  • And Tigger bounce with me

  • He made me feel bigger

  • And he made me feel free

  • - [Interviewer] Uh, I saw a picture of you

  • and your husband in the living room,

  • but I haven't seen him around.

  • Uh, where is he?

  • - Oh, I killed him.

  • - So yeah, this is basically

  • where I shoot the blow. (laughs)

  • Blow tectonic?

  • The blow tectonic.

  • It's a sexual earthquake.

  • - [Interviewer] If you keep all your Piglets in the box,

  • why don't you leave the posters

  • in the protective tubing that they come in?

  • - Well those are posters.

  • They don't have feelings, honey.

  • It's just paper.

  • - [Interviewer] But stuffed animals don't feel either.

  • - I feel like you're patronizing me

  • and you don't wanna patronize Carole Baskets, sweetheart.

  • - I'd give my left nut to see that

  • and that's saying something

  • 'cause that nut's all I got left.

  • - Get it?

  • It's like the Scarface thing but instead of a gun,

  • his little friend is just a smaller Tigger.

  • We have fun out here.

  • Joe Platonic TV, all right.

  • See you guys later.

  • (beep) you, Carole Baskets.

  • - Hi there, I'm Carole Baskets. (laughs)

  • This is so stupid.

  • - Oh no, look out, it's a tiger.

  • It's my little baby (slurps) tiger and I love her.

  • She's 400 years old. (chuckles)

  • - You know what?

  • I got two words to describe Carole Baskets' show.

  • The dumbest (beep) bull (beep) (beep) piece of (beep) show

  • I've ever (beep) seen in my whole (beep) life.

  • It's the dumbest show ever (beep) made, man.

  • (groans loudly)

  • - Bet Carole Baskets can't do that.

  • (groans loudly)

  • I guess she can.

  • - I'll miss you, buddy. (lips smack)

  • You and your (beep) up teeth.

  • I love you.

  • Meth's a hell of a drug.

  • - You can't understand the (beep)

  • that's coming out of my mouth. (chuckles)

  • We laugh, but we are very ill people.

  • - I gotta go.

  • Oh no, oh no, oh no, I gotta go.

  • I became Australian.

  • Oh my god.

  • Oh no.

  • Oh no brew.

  • I got tigers.

  • Tiggers!

  • Now I don't even know what I'm doing.

  • Oh, and just so you guys know, that's real.

  • Hell yeah brother.

  • What do you guys think?

  • Should I keep it?

  • Vote down in the comments below.

  • - I'm here to let you know. (giggles)

  • I'm here to tell you how cruel it is

  • that Joe, what Joe is (beep).
