Content creator and prankster, SavageShawn is known for his risky stunts on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. With over 5 million followers and counting, Shawn’s videos continue to go viral. 

What is SavageShawntv?

SavageShawntv is a YouTube channel that features new videos every week. The idea behind the videos is to prank unsuspecting strangers. You might be thinking, “Wow, that’s a good way to get your a** kicked.” Indeed, it is. 

Luckily, Shawn and his crew seem to know how to take to people right to their edge and then reel them back in again. “When you’re pranking people, it’s important to add an element of charm,” Shawn explains. “I am still respectful, but confusing people and sometimes upsetting them is what makes a prank hilarious.” 

Shawn takes a lot of risks creating these videos. Some of these videos involve pranks such as eating people’s food, slapping people’s drinks, and pulling people’s chairs. These are some of the more tame videos. Shawn goes as far as snatching girls’ wigs, stealing people’s cars, and even slashing people’s tires in some of the more dangerous videos.

Thankfully, there are some light-hearted videos such as pillow-fighting strangers in public, wherein Shawn says people underestimate his defensive skills. 

Who is Shawn? 

Shawn is 25 years old and currently resides in San Jose, California. His parents are both immigrants from Iran. After graduating high school, Shawn opted out of going to college to pursue entrepreneurship. Shawn was interested in marketing and sales, but after investing some time in the industry, he landed on social media and content creation.  

He immediately fell in love with the idea of content creation and decided to pursue it full-time. After months of trial and error, he finally figured out how to gain more followers. He began to understand the science behind viral content and started improving the quality of his content. 

Shawn is an entrepreneur at heart and loves the hustle of building something from nothing. Off-camera, he is a lowkey, down-to-earth guy that is grateful to have so many fans. He hopes to continue creating content and build a community with over 20 content creators and 30 million fans worldwide. 

Shawn believes that social media platforms will continue to grow, resulting in more money for content creators. Advertisers already realize the power of social media, especially with influencers who have large fan bases. “A big part of making it in this industry is staying consistent and refining your content,” Shawn states. “Go big, or don’t even try.”
