Hats off to University of Houston student Sayed Jamal Hamideh, for epically pranking a news channel.
A straight-faced Hamideh spoke to ABC 13 News about an armed robbery on his campus, giving his name as "Abu Sharmouta".
Which is Arabic for “father of a whore”.
An oblivious Crystal Kobza repeatedly addressed him by the name during the interview, though Hamideh (@ThatPancakeKid) later took to Twitter to thank her for being "awesome and such a good sport".
Yes it’s juvenile. A bit mean. And bloody funny... with people tweeting their appreciation all the way from Palestine, Dubai, Lebanon and Syria.
@ThatPancakeKid I've never seen my dad laugh so much in his life he kept on saying Abu sharmouta for a good 5 mins and kept on laughin hahah
