popcorn guy - movie theater tricks


Jason Grosboll has been scooping popcorn at his local movie theater in Corpus Christie Texas for the last ten years, and giving movie goers the ultimate buttery experience in the process. Inspired by his friend Jordan, he began to have some fun with the bucket and scooper; tossing the popcorn around, and spinning it on his finger like a basketball. 


On December 29th a dazzled movie goer decided to film the show before the show. That video now has over 14 million views on TikTok, and the "Popcorn Guy" is a bonafide internet hero.

Jason's skill earned him an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live, where Jimmy invited him to show off his popcorn making talents at the Oscars. No surprise, Jason seems like a super nice guy.



"I love my job more than anything in the world right now," he tells Kimmel, and that passion is apparent with every scoop of popcorn and squirt of butter he prepares. It's about time someone understood the importance of proper butter and salt distribution.

While every internet hero has their haters, Jason's were drowned out pretty quickly. 



Jason is the embodiment of the principle that no matter what job you do, you should try your hardest to be the best at it. That's why we love him so much. That, and the extra butter.
