Young Franco Demolished ‘Rocket League’ While We Did Our Darndest To Distract Him

Y’all know Young Franco, right? He’s a Brissy boy, DJ and producer. He also happens to have the #illest choice in sunglasses (see the video below for proof).
Apart from being a style icon, Young Franco is also extremely good at playing Rocket League with Xbox Game Pass, even when we try our absolute best to make it near impossible for him. Here’s what went down.
#1 First Off, Do You See What I Mean About The Sunglasses?
I know I am fixated on the sunnies, but you can see why, right?! How cool are they? A man who can throw on these on his way out the door is more than prepared for what the day is going to throw at him. Even if “the day” is called “Punkee” and what is being “thrown at him” is literally the disgusting, joyful mess that is silly string. Even as he shakes his head at our antics, the sunglasses remain perched on his nose, a reminder that we may be able to ruin his garments, but never his #style.
#2 Mitt-igating The Situation
A really great and often underused way to absolute wreck someone’s stellar Xbox Game Pass streak is to make them wear something that completely inhibits their use of their own hands. Oven mitts, for example. How can you operate anything requiring opposable thumbs when you have them completely covered in cooking gloves? Turns out, Young Franco can actually do it quite well. Begs the question: how many times has he been waiting to pull his potato gems out of the oven and had a go on Xbox One?
#3 Let’s Up The Ante, Shall We?
Remember in primary school, when patting your head and rubbing your stomach at the same time was considered the pinnacle of co-ordination? Well, we threw that ol’ chesnut at YF to see if the sheer nostalgia of the task would throw him off – but even though his car started to smoke, the man could still keep it moving forward.
Note to self: do not try to exploit the primary school memories of celebrities. It doesn’t work.
#4 You’re Right – We’re Not
Engaging all of the senses is a key element of throwing off people who are just trying to get a job done. It is not enough that we have doused him with string that has to be scraped off – now, let’s try the taste buds. If he stuffs Sour Straps into his mouth, surely that will be the final straw for the guy.
As it turned out, it was a lovely little snack for him, as he continued to smoke us at Rocket League with Xbox Game Pass.
#5 We Tried, But You Can’t Beat Style
At the end of the day, you can make them eat stuff, throw things at them, forcibly get them to don oven mitts – but the dude has style. We should’ve seen red flags when the gloves still looked good with his outfit – that Young Franco and his killer denim ensemble was not to be messed with.
He came here for two things: to look good and successfully play Rocket League with Xbox Game Pass. And he did both.
