San Francisco Bush Man by Sam Sweeney

[HaRdScOpEnIGhTmArE]

that dude thought he got hit in the stomach D:

[morgansraider]

Compassion for another human is one thing and the humor he brings is admirable, but if I made people laugh day in and day out, does that mean I don't have to pay taxes. He has been doing this for years and earning substantial amounts. With all that money, he decides to appear homeless and dirty to appeal to our emotions. He has made a career of appearing to be homeless when he is not. It is fraud, and he should be arrested and jailed for income tax evasion.

[newsky25]

This is the beauty of America.

[7instantcoffee7]

@xSVTxTERM1NATORx :  no.

[TheChazyWazy]

LIL B's dad right here.

[Refining1]

He should dress up like a bush. like get a custom made bush suit and just stand there like a decorative tree, until unsuspecting people walk by. That would be even scarier.

[509sk8ers]

I love the song, Scott McKenzie is awesome.

[Ice420Crusher]

He should get a ghillie suit instead

[Doorknobsarefunable]

left his kids to wave a bush at someone?!?! wow, i thought he was entertaining but now I've lost respect....

[theway334]

[bwflolo]

[samcoleman3514]

@nync888 load of BULL

[xRawlins]

this guy scared the shit out of me. I walked right up next to him, looked over the peer without noticing the bush right beside me... I looked down at it like "wtf...?" BOOOO

"HOLY FU--"

Yeah he got my ass good. delayed scare :/

[nateoak10]

[SkateGamer117]

@nateoak10 Agreed

[dreamboy1119]

saw this guy the one and only time i went to san fran and yeah. he got me :P hes a very memorable guy though. one of the things that actually sticks out about my visit there. a good memory too =)

[LGLG69]

He was interviewed by a local SF news person several years ago, and he did say he averages about $40-$50k per year. His best earnings have been over $60k.

[HunterMann]

More than $60,000 a year, cash, tax free...more like $107,000 a year.

[mquarry33]

were he scares the people in the beginning is the exact spot he got me

[kdjfkajdo]

[Aquamarine560]

[SirStickzAlot]

i so much loved the bushman he really made my trip complete god bless him!!!

[LiveEveryMoment7]

Ha i went there on vacation he is so funny .........the looks on people's faces a classic.

[meganwicked]

He is the sweetest guy. I always take him something warm from the pier and some cash when I visit the city for the day. Really funny too.

[MrMuffinhead22]

ahahahahahha bush man..sounds ronggg..lol

[kcee54]

arg you bush man, got me this time!

[asianoutcast87]

Oh snap I just found my Halloween costume. I've always known of him but never thought of ever being him.

[BboyFeeney]

Good idea! Too bad I'll prob forget about it then.

[asianoutcast87]

yeah me too. I had this great idea last year but i forgot. -_-

[petrolhead85]

lol BUSH MAN for mayor imagine an apprentice bushman just a couple ov feet down the line ud get them twice LOL

[Bryansdemomusic]

My friend came to school today with bushmans autograph on his shirt. It was awesome!

[eltrut96]

60 grand a year!?! Right on! He deserves it!

Thanks for posting!

[lahainawhaler]

I'd see his act each time I visited SF because I love Fisherman's Wharf. A crowd would be just hanging on the other side of the street to watch folks get spooked. Thanks for posting. It puts a face behind the bush.

[BUDDYSHADOW]

$60,000.00 a year with no taxes paid. I need a job like that.

[CaptainVicStevens]

@BUDDYSHADOW I'm no tax expert but I'm pretty sure that money isn't tax free. Whether or not he actually pays his taxes is another issue, but he almost certainly owes it.

[kevgrass]

He annoyed me. I saw him ahead of time, so I didn't get startled. He actually hit me with his branch as I walked by shouting, "I got you!"

"Yeah, Good Job."

[buttafoco]

You're a dick

[theramkids]

I actually almost punched his ass i have a vid

[fake1009]

i hate to say it but one of these days he is gonna run into a trigger happy redneck who shoots on instinct.

[MichelleWMusic]

I love the bush man! I saw him yesterday and took a picture with him.

[gstacks510]

this niggga hustlin u white folk when i see this nigga ima take some of his money jus pretent like im givin him some

[mrmagoo0670]

he may not be edumacated....but it seems like he still smarter than us!!!

[salsitta77]

OMG.. I love this guy...He's hillarious...I remember seeing him at the wharf!! Couldn't stop laughing.

[celloman]

Thank you so much for posting this. I've been to San Francisco to visit so many times since I was a child and this guy has made my trip every time.

-d

[Bones98]

I want Bushman to be mayor!

[charlezurich]

Spagett!

[etmoto75]

ok first of all u fuckin gram cracker or whatever the fuck you are..... frosted flake whatever. america is the best country mother fucker and my american whiteness sure could woop ur fuckin ass.... fuckin spanish bitch!!

[ktar1113]

Bendayhobrad, go pay your taxes you fucking dushe. Just cuz your a fucking muppet with no sense of humor doesn't mean you have to berrate a hard working man of high moral fiber such as the bushman. P.S. Get your conservative ass out of SanFran you fascist fuck.

Sincerely, A lover of good humor

[Snowmansw5]

hes not even funny

only you americans would find this shit funny

[NeoQuello]

something about white chicks screaming turn me on soo much.

[the1spen]

The guy puts a smile on peoples faces, cut him some slack. Its cool he makes some money while hes helping people have a little fun.

[mypalmoviemaker]

i like how hes one of the only homeless people i have heard of who dont beg for money, they actually earn it.

[7instantcoffee7]

@the1spen : pffff, no way. Sitting behind branches (which he probably broke off public trees) and saying "boo" doesn't deserve shit. I don't find it humorous or interesting, and it involves zero skill... Quite useless, and for me, annoying - Actually he could hurt someone with heart condition. How about street cleaning or recycling instead of sitting all day? It gets sticky down there

[thekingtut01]

@7instantcoffee7 ahahaha your trolling right? hurt someone with a heart condition dude you don't get a heart attack by getting a little spook,lol. You sir are an idiot. I mean this is extremely creative and funny don't be a debbie downer bro

[Zynkthe1st]

OMG! this guy got me when I was 14...he deserves a medal!

[skreedom222]

this makes me wish i was black

[Eball06]

Trust me man, you're better off being white, things are easier that way..

[WorldChange09]

The women were laughing.

[bluecollarlove91]

he makes $60,000 a year. scaring people. who cares if he doesn't pay taxes, give the man some credit...

[bendayhobrad]

i bet that asshole hasnt paid a cent in taxes either

[lineskis69]

how does that make him an asshole?

[bendayhobrad]

ok fine, for mr sensitive, i bet that upstanding citizen hasnt paid a cent in taxes. but, my taxes paid to arrest, house, and feed him. meanwhile, hes making more than what half the average american works for. better?

[lineskis69]

haha sensitive?? this guys got it made. so quit ur bitchin'

[MidnightCardinal]

what makes you think your taxes go to house him? and he would declare it. He ain't stupid especially if there is a doco on him.

[bendayhobrad]

1. i live in the city. i pay taxes

2. by his own admission the guy has been arrested over a thousand times=tax dollars

3. when you are arrested you get housed. when you are jailed you get housed and fed=tax dollars

4. when you receive social services. which this guy has received numerous times=tax dollars

5. ive seen this guy. what makes you think hes smart for one? and what makes you think he declares shit?

6. am i on crazy pills?

[PG1986ko]

gotta love this guy.funny as hell

[TKSxASSASSINx1]

dude bush man if u ever get to read this good luck and stay out of jail =) and hope to c u 1 day

[modofosho]

man i walked past him wen i went to san fran and even though i knew who he was and what he was gona do i was still scared..and yes he is famous.. and yes bums DO make alot of money believe it or not.. more than an average minmum wage worker

[sambam36]

i wonder where he lives? i dont see how he could affored to live in san fran with 60k a year.

[LGLG69]

I remember he was interviewed by a local tv station several years ago, and he said he usually makes $40,000 or more a year. He has made more than $60,000. He's gotta go to work 7 days a week and be outside in the elements, but he loves it.

[brianjlowry]

That's tax free too right?! :O

[modofosho]

yup.. AND no bills

[MidnightCardinal]

doubt it, he will have to pay tax other wise the IRS will be on his ass

[dynamicdesign101]

damm he makes that much

[iPizzle11]

haha i remember seeing him scare the crap out of ppl across the street

[phoenixsonrising]

BUSH..man FOR PRESIDENT!

[gsr719]

this guy is awesome! i could sit there for an hour watching him scare tourist lol

[satonicsprite]

hes seriously a tourist attraction... id totally go there just to see him

[circusboy90210]

I love you man. Keep it up. This is what America is all about. The ability to actually live your dreams. If only people would quit buying Wall Mart & buy only American Products, or places that use American support teams we would be allright. This Guy is like the canary in the coal mine.

[KlaykidReal]

Long live the original bush man! (im talking about this one)

[ZidaneDaMan10]

$60k a year!! i knew this guy was good, but not that good :]

[sixstringND]

this guy is great. We sat at Joes crab shack across the street and laughed the whole time. I dindt realize he was this famous. wow.

[rossllen]

This "bugger" scared the s**t out of me one week ago in San Francisco!  I didn't know that he was soooo famous!!! Loved it!

[Raethar]

that's a pretty good livin, sittin around all day, scarin people :)

[Downtown1212]

I've seem his act. Its funny. $60k / year can buy a lot of hippie lettuce.

[Basiliowillygillyohh]

[darkoblivion]

Fishermen's Wharf

[katitijani]
