This street performer entertained pedestrians for reasons no one expected.

Some very nervy guy thought it'd be a great idea to help himself to the tips collected by a street performer in New York City.

The performer broke character and kicked the man in the face before giving him some words that we can't make out, but are pretty sure weren't of the "Hey, thanks for your support" variety.

This dude has some serious cajones to try and steal hard-earned tips like that. Just because his victim pretends to be a statue doesn't mean he is, either. Didn't he know that? 'Cause if he didn't he goes on the short list for dumbest criminal ever and most cold-hearted, alongside this mother who decided Halloween would be the perfect time to stock up at the expense of every other kid in her neighborhood.

Somebody should set these two up. They're made for each other.
