Keith Spangler is the Worst

In a scandal rocking the earbuds of millions, local menace and nationally certified "worst guy," handyman, truck driver, architectural fraudster, madlad scientist, and Councilmember of the nation of Keithtopia; the Keith Spangler, has reportedly sabotaged all of America’s ASMR. Yes, all of it. Whisper videos, gentle tapping, soft brushing, and even that one guy who crinkles ramen noodle packages for 45 minutes, now all inexplicably gone. Replaced overnight with Keith’s own personal mixtape of leaf blowers, dentist drills, and high school marching bands practicing "Flight of the Bumblebee."

The Federal Autonomous Tranquility Bureau (FATB) confirmed the switch early Monday morning, noting that the nation’s white noise generators had all been overridden with Keith’s voice yelling, “DO YOU FEEL RELAXED NOW?!” on a loop.

“We’ve never seen anything like it,” said FATB spokesperson Serenity Gloombasket, clutching a shattered crystal singing bowl. “We had millions relying on ASMR to sleep, study, or experience non-creepy tingles. Now people are just lying awake, staring at the ceiling and wondering if this is what purgatory sounds like.”

Authorities have confirmed that Keith Spangler effectively escaped with all of  the ASMR from all fifty states, with the single exception of Hawaii, where apparently, due to a spelling error, he instead absconded with the MSRP for all 2025 Toyota Tacoma’s.

Reports indicate that Spangler infiltrated TikTok’s ASMR Industrial Complex by pretending to be a soft-spoken Swedish man with a beard and 8-hour videos of towel-folding. Once inside, he uploaded a virus called “Keith.wav,” which deleted all soothing content and replaced it with a 17-hour “guided chaos session,” featuring him aggressively eating Doritos next to a megaphone.

“It’s been a nightmare,” sobbed Braxton Brendon, a former ASMRtist who once made a living whispering facts about moss in a soothing southern accent. “He replaced my entire channel with footage of him running through a Guitar Center banging on every cymbal. Backwards.”

In place of tingles, Americans now suffer from what experts are calling “Spangler Synaptic Syndrome,” characterized by uncontrollable twitching and spontaneous nosebleeds triggered by the phrase “hey guys, welcome back to my channel.”

In a public statement released from the capital of Keithtopia, livestreamed from a squeaking trampoline inside of an on-fire fireworks factory, Spangler defended his actions. “ASMR is a crutch! If you need soft whispering to fall asleep, maybe try being tired for once. Go to the gym, do some gardening, put some effort in! …or just listen to the soothing sound of my kazoo solo!”

Spangler, possibly in a preemptive strike against a nation-wide invasion, has since reinforced the borders of Keithtopia with subwoofers and live raccoons trained to drop metal forks on tile floors.

So far, instead of any invasion plans, Americans are planning escape to Canada and Mexico, to regain access to their soothing sounds and videos.

“We used to be keeping those people over there, now we’re keeping these people over here,” mumbled border guard president Dorothy Cheesecutter, while critically eying the growing horde of Americas trying to illegally cross the border to escape from America, “we’re gonna need a bigger wall.”

Until ASMR can be restored, Americans are urged to find peace in the traditional ways—like yelling into pillows, eating entire cheesecakes alone, or joining the National Accordion Meditation Movement (NAMM).

Meanwhile, a bipartisan bill is being introduced in Congress to formally classify Keith Spangler as an "Acoustic War Criminal."

President Donald Trump tweeted early Monday morning about possible tariffs against the nation of Keithtopia, but everyone stopped paying attention to daily changing tariff tweets months ago, and no actions were actually taken.

As the leader of the most economically powerful nation in the world, Keith Spangler seemed unimpressed. “Keithtopia does not fear sanctions or tariffs,” he said in a video released of him riding a cowbell covered bicycle down a cement stairwell alongside of dozens of falling stainless steel pots and pans, “in fact, now that I think about it…America does not seem to make great financial decisions at all. I might have to do something about that.”

Since that last cryptic musing there have been no press releases from the amazing nation of Keithtopia. Economic experts remain on guard, desperately trying to decipher what the unending menace known as Keith Spangler plans to do next.

Stay tuned, or don’t. It’s not like you’ll be able to sleep anyway.
