Four young South Australian larrikins have come up with an ingenious trick to nab free movies, frozen yoghurt and stadium seats: dress up as a tradie.
In three TikTok videos that have amassed more than two million views, Aussie, Trips, Youngy and Patto don the working person’s staple uniform of boots, hi-vis shirts and trousers and hats to scam their way to freebies.
In one video, two of the gents score a free YoChi frozen yoghurt pretending to be tradies, even after a counter worker asks them for ID
The next video ramps things up even further, with Youngy and Trips breezing into a cinema on a fake plumbing job to watch Barbie, complete with a bucket of popcorn.
Walking out in the carpark, the lads acknowledge they were caught out, but said they managed to get the movie in before they were unmasked.
But the real coup takes place at the Adelaide Oval.
Aussie and Patto escalate the prank and successfully walk past security, taking a tour of the Oval before the Adelaide Crows and Port Adelaide “Showdown” over the weekend.
TikTok watchers are thrilled, with the Oval video racking up 1.2m views.
“No way legends !!!!!!” posted Dean Gialanze.
“Do one at the G next time!!! Pleaseeeee” posted Chanel Du Plessis.
Some Tiktokkers expressed scepticism the pair had dodged security.
“You can hear the ticket scan lol,” posted tomcoops115.
The videos are posted to the betheonebt1 TikTok, which boasts 62.3k followers and 1.6m likes.
