The 35-year-old strongman Robert Oberst has been drumming up a lot of views on his YouTube channel lately, which has included of late pushing for a boxing match with Nick Best and claiming that Thor Bjornsson’s 501kg deadlift should not count as a world record.
He’s received his share of criticism as a result, and this time around, he took to his YouTube channel to read and react to some of the meanest comments he’s received on YouTube and Twitter.
“Actually, it’s kind of hard to find mean comments. Usually people don’t tend to make fun of me a lot. I don’t know if you guys are scared of me or if you just genuinely like me.”
Check out the entire video below courtesy of Oberst’s YouTube Channel. We’ve pasted our favorites below.

“I have size 14 double wide feet and I’m sure (the person who tweeted this) is way bigger than me. Way way way bigger than me.”
