- Slapstick sells, apparently.
Comedian Adam Waheed first went viral in 2016 with a comedy sketch about his girlfriend doing her makeup in the car. In his popular TikTok and CZcams videos, Waheed performs slapstick stunts like working out in the gym atop a toilet, eating a “train salad” (nails and bolts atop a bed of arugula and tomatoes) and staging his death after stubbing his toe. Now, he’s moved into the big screen, signing a three-picture content deal with Jimmy Kimmel’s production studio, Wheelhouse. Through this and his partnerships with the NFL, Old Spice, Dr Pepper, Doritos, Samsung and T-Mobile, Waheed’s businesses made over $7 million last year, per Forbes’ estimate.

Why does this interview feel like a skit ? 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
bro fr🤣🤣
you're so used to Adam being funny. 😂😂😂
I had to double check this channel😂
i was like something is going to go down here. his face looks like he is about to change the interview into one of his videos😁😁
I was consistently expecting him to switch to his skeet 🤣
Me too 😂 I thought it was one of his jokes
*"I'm just going for a Forbes interview, if you don't mind."*
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
its a very common thing
It's just more weird and hilarious that people like Adam are acting normal during an interview 😂. Love you for this *Forbes!*
So accurate 😅
So wat do u expect
Him to jump all around?
@@Insect...pretty much
totally agreed I was thinking that the whole time
Damn, it's weird seeing Adam being 'Normal'.
I'm going to be a billionaire.... if you don't mind.
Tell me how exactly.
It's a common thing
😁😁😁😁 if you don't mind
Im here just to see Adam normal 😅❤❤
Me to 😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Same😂
He's actually a very smart person from the way he talks and how he presents himself professionally
One of the funniest people on the internet 😂
Can't imagine how much effort he puts everyday ! Super hardworking guy!
Adam W is not an Adam W, He is Alan! 😂
😂😂😂😂
Hhh
Yes, and he went to jail for that mix up. 😂😂😂
The interviewer was a bit awkward..this interview could’ve been a lot more fun
Yeah this interviewer sucks
I agree
I started laughing at the first second when he introduced himself 😂😂 I just can't imagine him talking seriously
The host was super dry! She could’ve appreciated some of his jokes within their convo, super dry she was fishing for apologies from him
He was famous before tiktok was even a thing
Adam make a joke video about billionares of forbes 😂😂😂😂
Adam w is probably one of the funnier content creators 😂😂 I like his type of comedy it’s my type of skits I would think
Even this guy is serious I always thought he is joking😂
Why she is pushing Tiktok so much?
I have never even see any tiktoks from Adam. I know his work from IG and YT 🤔
and they did not even mention vine
Pure talent and too beautiful!!!!❤
Hi Adam waheed.. love from India❤..
Idk why i just dont dig that chicks vibe there's a passive aggressive tone to her questions. Ive seen so many and dealt with a fair amount that work for news broadcasters. She is so robotic.
This is the first time I'm watching him speak normally and give normal expressions! 😅
Why did the football thing sound like a story Lmaoooo. Vine is the birth of Adam
W.
His skits are really funny, deserves his success.
Great kind humble man ❤❤❤
He knows how to make coup de noodale..lol
His videos are really funny. Like it. He is real actor. It’s weird seeing him speaking normal )))
Well done Adam! Regarding replying to your fans DMs, imagine if you had an AI that could filter them out and maybe pick (based on your criteria) the ones that you should really respond to. That would help you connect better with your fans...
Why are they just interviewing ppl for their tik tok fame, what about the other social media platforms before trik tok. Like he’s well known for vine, IG, YT etc. Amazing he’s making money now, he deserves it.
I'm a woman and I loooooove Adam W!!!😂❤
This guy is great I like his work
I love that video where he cuts the bread using a guillotine instead of a knife. 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Congratulations 🎉🎉
The simple fact of seeing his face makes me smile ...big up to you Adam 😅
He’s hilarious!!!
Im waiting for the twist as if it was a skit 🤣🤣..adam face is so funny😂
he a natural actor
Even though he was normal..but still I am laughing at him
I was waiting he start doing the repetitive face scene 😂😂😂😂😂
He is a great actor!!
Hahahaha I never thought he could be serious like this 😂😂😂 it's funny
Even talking to amazon customer service, 'hi amazon cs, i would like to return this product and get a full refund, if you dont mind'.
Ur Awesome!!!
"Im just doing this interview, it's a pretty common thing!"
LEGEND ⚡
Why does he still have that "if you don't mind" look on his face ?😂
Who can look at him without laughing?
You’re awesome
Great
I couldn't hold a straight face
I laughed right the video starts... this guy is too funny
Hey Alan,🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why you acting weird here😂😂
Really official!!!
Forbes interview, doesn't sync!!!!!! Thought it was clickbait.
Interviewing for Forbes...Its a very common thing.
One question: any comments on negative effects of short form videos?
Be a billionaire ( best line ever ) 💵💯
I was waiting for "If you don't mind"
😂 she's quite smitten by him. Not suprised if she went home with his number 😂
Love you brother ❤
Our boy done made it.
its so weird see him talk like this .... "if you dont mind"
Who else had to double check to see if it was actually Forbes 😂 and not actually Adam's skits
First time I am seeing him like this
There’s something weird going on in this interview. She’s giving me anxiety lol
she secretly is in love with Adam thats why
What. Furst time i've seen adam being this serious.😅
No. His name is Alan. Alan W 😂😂😂😂
He might be making bank but Adam has been making Skits since way before Tiktok became the phenomenon it is now.
Expecially on mediums like Instgram. This man has been at this for close to a decade. I'm just 2 minutes in and they make it sound like he is a newbie of sorts. ..
Anyway. Maybe they correct this perception later on
Hey you are supposed to tackle interviewer to ground at 3:00 then laugh 'Ha-Ha-Ha, Ooops I did it again' in this skit
I can't take this guy seriously 😂😂 still feels like a skit
i thought , he was going to jump and say '' I am joking ''.
..i la OF this✨️🙏🏼😌🖤✨️✨️
..people watching is an absolutely beautiful past time & art💯👈🏽😌✨️
Love you always Adam W 😍😍
Adam W. Bush!😂😂😂
Not me watching and expecting him to do some so random lol😂
Im just lauphing by seeing him😂
It's a very common thing
I will act normally, if you don't mind.
❤❤❤❤
Biggest fan
dudes halarious
Nice to meet you, Adam.....if you don't mind.
this feels like a skit 🤣
In the thumbnail i thought it was weekend
I can never take this guy seriously. 😂
I get that this is a serious interview for him but "if you don't mind"... I'd like to be a skeptic on this one. 😂
I could Expect that interview going in a different dimension when adam start pulling up objects from Nowhere 😅😅😅😅....
Please don't blame me for thinking this way, Adam caused it 😂😂😂
Was not going to make it to the NFL🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Big fan....India....🔥
Adam’s success is inspirational. Obviously nobody knows but homie probably won’t ever be a billionaire. Jerry Seinfeld isn’t even a billionaire. Great to set your goals high but be realistic. 100 million is more like it
Love him and Anwar !!!! If you don't mind.
His best collaboration is with Anwar Jibawi.
You didn't asked about relationship with Anwar
Adam !!!!!😂
I just came to see a normal Adam 😅😅😅
"If you don't mind"
Why does the thumbnail makes me laugh 😅
Yo, why am i mad at her shoes? Lol
Skit or not, the information is given out.
Some of his content is hilarious.
I read his name as Adam Warlock
